For the replay against the Isthmian League leaders, who had particular designs on winning the Surrey Senior Cup this season, Jim Haydock returned in goal after a month out, but Jack Wallis was out with an injured shoulder, Frank Lemmer taking his position, and Billy Laws was unavoidably unavailable â€" getting married â€" giving Jim Smith another chance to provide the crosses.

The Hamlet certainly started with the intention of gaining progress to the next round, and for the first half an hour it looked more likely to be when than if. Firstly Davies missed a sitter from twelve yards, then Haydock parried a shot from Phebey, but he was left out of position when the ball fell kindly for Jover. His shot flashed goal-wards, but Arthur Maggs somehow managed to clear off the line. At the other end Ron Head also missed a couple of good chances, and Harry Stannard headed over keeper Freeman only for Whitworth to turn the ball wide for a corner. The opener came after 32 minutes when Stannard, having a grand game, passed in Vic Bird and although Freeman looked to have his lob covered the ball dipped over him and into the net. Quicker on the ball and more accurate in passing the Dons gave Dulwich plenty to do, whereas the visitors relied on their speedy wingers Jover and Davies, but both were second best to Maggs and Jock Woods.

The second-half started with Wimbledon in the ascendancy, the visiting forwards easily held in check and their defence kicking wildly out of play in a desperate effort to gain respite from the enterprising attacks coming their way. A nasty injury to Woods lead to the Dons re-arranging their line for a while, with Ron Head dropping in at left-back and Woods hobbling along as a passenger on the wing, and as he recovered May bowled him over again, but he jumped up, won the ball back and flashed in a centre that Stannard headed straight into goal. That was 26 minutes after the break, and two minutes later Stannard drew the defence out of position and when Freeman could only parry his shot, Gauntlett was on hand to seal the win, the eighth consecutive game the winger had scored in.
