Notes

  • - Fred Hopkin scores his first LFC goal
  • - The Anfield Road stand caught on fire and as was reported: "There appeared little likelihood of the match being completed owing to the smoke obscuring the play. Happily the fire brigade arrived in time and the game was terminated."
    - Also counted as a game in the Lancashire Senior Cup.
