Watford Rovers recorded their first FA Cup victory against Chesham at Rose & Crown Meadow, Walter Coles amongst the scorers in a 3-1 victory.
Chesham had 'won' the tie at their own ground a week earlier, but had fielded an unregistered player and the FA ordered the fixture to be replayed at Watford.
