Notes
Albion had two new faces, Barbour and Brand (both from Accrington) in their team. The winning goal by Breconridge 2 minutes from time was hotly disputed as it was not clear (before nets) whether the ball had passed under or over the bar. When the referee awarded the goal, 8 of the Albion players walked off in protest. James Allan (by then with Albion) pleaded in vain that they finish the game, so the referee waited until 90 minutes were up and blew for full time.
