Next up was a visit to the reserve XI of Leyland Motors at the works pitch in Richmond Road, Kingston. I believe this is now the Hawker's Sports Ground. With Coleman still injured and Parson unavailable further debuts were given to Ryan, who had been scoring heavily in local youth football, and Hunt. Webb, who had previously been at centre-forward, was selected at centre-half.

The Dons proved far too strong for their opponents and Cains had only a solitary shot to save in the first half, whilst the visitors made short shrift of the narrow pitch to run in five goals. Taylor opened the scoring after 15 minutes, his deflected shot on the run giving Scrivener no chance. Brereton soon added a second, Taylor crossing for Ryan to lay it into his path for any easy tap in. The keeper then handled outside the box, Lemmer crashing home the free-kick. Another Taylor cross to Ryan resulted in the fourth and immediately after Lemmer made it five with another free-kick, this time from 25 yards.

Leyland got their offside trap working in the second half and frustrated the Dons forwards until late in the game, with the final two goals coming in the closing minutes. Taylor latched onto a poor clearance from a Pettyfer cross, tricked past a defender and shot home with his left foot, then it was that man Taylor again, running onto a throw-in and lobbing the ball into the area for Pettyfer to bring the ball down and roll it wide of the keeper.
