Sunderland, Shankhouse, Morpeth Harriers and Backworth Hotspur had advanced through qualifying and were the Semi-Finalists for the competition proper at the annual Temperance Festival. However, Morpeth and Backworth failed to turn up in time, so Sunderland and Shankhouse contested the final. Morpeth and Backworth then turned up later, and were told they could contest 3rd place, but Morpeth refused so Backworth took it. All in all a bit of a disaster for the festival organisers, only one match out of the four expected was actually played! The match was two periods of 30 minutes.
