Notes
Grimsby Town started with only 9 men, as Bob Gray & Stuart Munn missed the 8.25 train to Manchester. They arrived just before the first half. The match was ill-tempered throughout. Grimsby Town full-back struck Billy Lindsay with a stone, which cut his head. Lindsay later gave away the penalty that won the match for Darwen. At the final whistle, both sides were involved in a mass punch-up. An angry crowd then followed the Grimsby Town players back to their hotel, the police keeping the two sides separated
