Notes: | Runners-up to Brown's in the Raleigh Knock-Out competition 1919-1920: After a goaless draw on Brightside Foundry's ground, a replay was arranged for the evening of April 20th at Roe Lane. After a keen tussle the game again ended in a draw - two goals each. Half an hour's extra time was then played, and Brown's got a goal and won the competition. The boys have finished the season in the same spirit as they begain it. They have shown splendid sportsmanship, and no fines have been imposed on Firth's boys for breaches of rules.
