Having beaten Hampton, the previous season in the final, Hayes repeated the dose, with the same score, 1-0. Hayes contained the Hampton forwards and had a goal disallowed after 5 minutes. Hampton made life difficult for Hayes but eventually the Isthmian League team broke through in the 74th minute with an interchange between Drabwell and Friday who lobbed the ball to the far post for Drabwell to volley home. Hayes collecting the trophy for the third successive season.
