Harry Stannard was unavailable for selection for the trip to Cheshunt due to a private engagement and Ron Head was also on the missing list, although originally selected, paving the way for a recall for AW Green at outside-right, flanking AT Wallace, with Jim Smith moving to inside-left.

Tufnell Park, though plucky and enthusiastic, were no match for the Dons, who were responsible for the majority of the attacking play in the game. Despite their superiority it took until the 25th minute for Rhodes to open the scoring. It only took a minute further for the second, Wallace scoring from a Green pass, and just before the break Green got the third, running onto a through ball and slipping the ball under the advancing keeper.

With the second half ten minutes old Maggs put in Smith, who scored with ease. Wimbledon were rampant and Rhodes latched onto a ball from Bull and forced Munday to concede a corner, then the keeper pulled off a point-blank save from Smith. Rhodes was first to the rebound and put the ball in the net, but was given offside. Park celebrated their escape by forcing a goalmouth scramble at the other end, but Salmon was denied when Maggs cleared off the line with Haydock stranded. They were soon rewarded with a consolation when Akers headed home a nice pass from Murray and, for a while, they were revitalised, but Rhodes settled matters by crashing home a pass from Green.
