Sheffield Daily Telegraph – Monday 21 November 1927

Wombwell  0  Grimsby Town Reserves 0

Under wretched conditions Wombwell played a goalless draw with Grimsby Town Reserves at Wombwell.

A bitter east wind swept the ground and rain fell in torrents.

The conditions seemed to  affect the playerss tempers and the referee had to keep a tight hold on the game.

At one point Wombwell had only eight men on and Brown, their right-half back did not turn out at all in the second.

Grimsby showed slightly superior combination but there was no resisting dash.- Grimsby had a narrow escape in the last minute.
