Sheffield Daily Telegraph – Monday 28 November 1927

MIDLAND LEAGUE.

Mexborough 5 Grantham 0

Mexborough’s meeting with Grantham at Hampden Road resulted in 5-0 win for the home side.

Grantham were a disjointed team and powerless to make any headway against their better organised opponents.

Mexborough, who started the game with ten men, Beaumont putting in an appearance quarter of an hour late, were two goals up at half-time, and in the second half they added three more.

The scorers were Shaw (3) and Smith (2).
