Bill Magill resumed at right-half in stead of Jack Fuller with young W Cousins, twin brother of Amateur Cup finalist Jim, replacing the injured Len Cannon as Wimbledon received a visit from Dulwich Hamlet in the invitational London Charity Cup.

Beglan claimed the opening goal for Dulwich after five minutes, charging Haydock into dropping the ball and putting it into the net at the second attempt. The equaliser was even stranger, Head received the ball from a throw-in and ran to the touchline before lobbing the ball into the centre, Freeman came out to gather the ball under challenge from Stannard and Smith but they had all misjudged the flight and it flew over all three of them and into the empty net. Hamlet had the best of the rest of the half and forced a couple of corners that came to nothing, then should have taken the lead when Jover jinked half the length of the field but shot tame and wide. Stannard was incapacitated and forced to switch with Smith for a spell, but the home side held the scores level to the break.

The second half belonged to the visitors from start to finish, with Haydock prominent throughout. He saved a beauty from Beglan following a free-kick and agilely turned a shot from May over the crossbar. During one of many scrambles in the Dons’ area Jover and Gray contrived to collide with each other in their eagerness to score and knocked each other out. As they recovered Beglan also took a knock and had to retreat to the dressing room for running repairs â€" a plastered nose. The game appeared to be heading for a draw with Dulwich unable to break through and the Wimbledon defence content to hoof the ball to safety every time it came near them, but Hamlet finally found the net in the closing minutes when, during yet another scrimmage, May headed the ball against the bar and the diminutive Gray was first to the rebound and nodded it home.
