After 8 attempts was a 3-0 win away to Fulham
William Birrell with a brace, including a penalty, the 3rd different penalty goalscorer that season, George Camsell, who else, scored the third goal, his 53rd goal  from that amazing goalscoring season when going up as champions, scoring 122 goals & recording 62 points, our highest points total

Strange season regarding management, Herbert Chapaman was our manager when we suffered relegation the previous season, the board stuck by Chapman, yet when we won promotion & most likely the champiobship Chapman left at the back end of March & replaced by Peter McWilliam who took over in April
