Newcastle, reigning League champions, once again played their way through to a Crystal Palace Final. This time they met Wolverhampton. a robust and fast-moving side, but placed only in the middle of the Second Division. Surely now, after the disappointments of 1905 and 1906, Newcastle would carry off the prize.

Newcastle's 'pretty' game of tip-tap from one man to the other came woefully unstuck against the quick-tackling Wolves team. In fact, Wolves' one chance of winning lay in offering such a resolute and unyielding opposition that Newcastle would be prevented from developing their skilful attacks. Newcastle probably had about ninety per cent of the play, but the ten per cent for which Wolves were responsible, plus their dash and their more direct methods, proved sufficient to undo the Tynesiders.

A brace of goals in the last five minutes of the first half-Hunt's long shot and Medley's swift shot after eluding two tackles - suddenly put Wolves into a winning position, and. though Howie scored for Newcastle shortly after the interval, Harrison, the Wolves right-winger who played a brilliant match, later put the result beyond doubt. There were only four 'Hs' on the field, and yet, curiously, all of them scored.
