The Prince of Wales (later to become Edward VIII) attends the match, played in the Silver Jubilee year of King George V.  Sir Charles Clegg, the FA and Wednesday President, the Lord and Lady Mayoress of Sheffield and the Chief Constable of Sheffield are also at the match.

Wednesday start the match in sensational fasion, Jack Palethorpe scoring after just 2 minutes.  West Brom are back on level terms after 21 minutes when the only Sheffielder on the pitch, Wally Boyes scores.  With visions of a replay looming, Mark Hooper beats 3 men and fires in a shot from 18 yards, which hits a post and goes in the net on 70 minutes.  Wednesday's lead lasts just 5 minutes though before Teddy Sandford takes a pot shot, which hits Joe Nibloe on the head beats Jack Brown for the equaliser.

As predicted by Sheffield Independent reporter F. G. Walters, Wednesday finish strongly and take the lead for the third time with 5 minutes to play, Ellis Rimmer scoring with a header, which sends the Wednesday supporters into pandemonium.  Rimmer has now scored in every round in this year's FA Cup and he does it again 4 minutes later to send Wednesday 4-2 up.  The Sheffield Green 'un reports that the cheer that greeted the goal must have been heard in the centre of London!  Wednesday have won the FA Cup for the third time and the Price of Wales presents the trophy to Ronnie Starling and medals to both sets of players.

An interesting couple of titbits in the Sheffield Green 'un; Wednesday new stockings are found to be too big for comfort so the Wednesday trainer George Irwin spends two hours shrinking them two days before the match.  Also Wednesday's goalie Jack Brown declines to wear the new green jersey obtained for him and instead wears the old green jersey he has worn for years.
