F = Friendly FAC Q1 = F.A. Cup Qualifying Round 1 LCC R1 = Luton Charity Cup Round 1. The club decided not to enter the Kettering Charity Cup – it was thought better to play “Ordinary” (Friendly) games and receive gate money than play mediocre teams for hardly any money.
Bold is a home game.

*I have given this goal to J.C. Lomax – the description is that a cross came in and Lomax and the brothers Whitby rushed it through. As J.C. Lomax is the first named I have awarded him the goal.

The known goal scorers are – Galbraith – 29 (plus 1 against Rostron Bourke’s XI); Allen – 20; H. Whitby – 14; Cheshire – 7; Brown – 6; F. Whitby – 5; Julian, Sanders – 4; Taylor – 3; J.C. Lomax, Oclee, Watkins, Groom – 2; McKenzie, Wilson, Barbour – 1.
