Match Report
The Etonians were a side with clever individuals, but Carthusians, wonderfully linked together, convincingly won the last Final to be played between amateur clubs from the south.
Carthusians were the first Charterhouse team to enter the competition. and, led on by Parry and Page, made a rapid succession of attacks on the Etonians' goal. ably defended by Rawlinson.
After half an hour's play, during which the Etonians had several times been lucky not to concede a goal. Carthusians finally scored. Prinsep's long throw was deflected by Wynyard into the goal.
Wynyard 'scored' again within a minute, charging Rawlinson over the line with the ball, but, curiously, the point was disallowed for offside.
The heavier men in the light blue ranks began to tire midway through the second half, and the Carthusians, improving every minute, used quick and accurate passing to switch the play to the opposite end. Rawlinson punched out Page's shot from Prinsep's pass, but Parry followed up to make it 2-0. Almost directly from the kick-off the ball was in the Etonians' goal again, Todd heading through after Page's fine dribble.
The spectators had cheered the winners from start to finish - clearly their victory was a popular one.
