No one did more to secure the F.A. Amateur Cup for Dulwich Hamlet, who defeated Marine (Liverpool) at Upton Park 7-1, than Edgar Kail, the England international inside right. The ground was in a muddy state, and the ball naturally soon became heavy, but such conditions in every way suited Kail, who dribbled and passed and swerved past opponents in most effective style.

When ever he got the ball in fact he invariably placed it where he wanted to. The other Hamlet players responded him finely, Moseley showing himself a fine opportunist, and Morrish, outside right, able to centre quickly and with precision. The forwards, moreover, had first-rate support from their half-backs, and the superiority exercised this department by Murray, Hamer, and Aitken went a long way towards determining the issue. Liverpool was weak at half-back.

Despite the fact that the game its later stages took very one-sided course, the football generally speaking, and having due regard to the conditions underfoot was remarkably high standard. There were 22,000 spectators, and the receipts amounted to £1,509. Sir Charles Clegg presented the trophy to the winners.
