Cheshire/Hockings has Hilsdon, Windridge 2. Glanvill/Dutton and this website have Hilsdon 2, Windridge. Newspaper reports tell us that the game was played in thick fog and nothing could be seen from the Press box. However the reporter for the Morning Leader had the common sense to ask the players who had scored and that comes up with Hilsdon 2, Windridge. So we can only assume that that is correct.
