Wednesday reach their first FA Cup final but are defeated.
Wednesday play Blackburn Rovers in the Final at the Kennington Oval. They are handicapped by losing captain Henry Winterbottom, who is injured in the previous match and Wednesday, who wear blue shirts and white shorts are led out by amateur Haydn Morley. Billy Ingram is persuaded to play, but is clearly not well and is inefective. Blackburn who field nine internationals in their side are too good for a weakened Wednesday side and are 4-0 up by half-time. Wednesday pull a goal back through Albert Mumford (although some publications credit it to Micky Bennett), but Rovers score two more to run out 6-1 winners. The match sets the record for the highest scoring FA Cup Final, later equalled by the 1953 final and Blackburn's six goals remain the record for the most by one team in an FA Cup final, a feat equalled by Bury in 1903 and by Manchester City in 2019.
