Referee: N. Whittaker

Everton, favourites to retain the trophy, were lying third in the League and had ten men in their side who had helped take the Cup to Lancashire the previous year. But, as so often happened, the fancied team in the Final lost.

It was an undistinguished match, with the ball too much in the air, and fouls rather plentiful. Neither side played as well as they were supposed to be capable of doing. From the start Everton seemed embarrassed by Wednesday's rushing and bustling tactics.

A mix-up in the Everton defence enabled Wednesday to take a twentieth minute lead. Chapman swung the ball into the goalmouth for Stewart to give it the final touch.

During the closing minutes of the first half Everton hit their best form of the match, and Jack Sharp, whose goal had won the Final in 1906. scored a picture goal to level the scores.

Only four minutes remained of the match when Wilson, the Wednesday centre-forward, received the ball from a throw-in and hooked it un­expectedly across the goalmouth for Simpson, his outside-left, to head home one of the softest goals imaginable.
