Bournemouth vs Northampton Southern Section Cup 1933-34

[ianlambert]

Does anyone have any information about the Bournemouth vs Northampton Southern Section Cup 1933-34 played on 7th March 1934. I believe that the result was 2-1 to Northampton but I'm interested in any match reports or programmes which anyone might have access to. My grandfather, Duncan Lindsay, was on a month's trial with Northampton at that time and I'd like to know if he played in that match. Shooting from well outside the box on this one I know.

He's not mentioned in the only report I can find for the match.

Third South Cup - Daily Herald 08 March 1934



But he is mentioned in the two reserve matches played either side, on the saturdays, of this Cup tie.

Northampton Res - Northampton Mercury 09 March 1934

This report is regarding match played on 3 March 1934.



Northampton Res - Northampton Mercury 16 March 1934

This report is regarding match played on 10 March 1934.



Not found a report naming the XI's unfortunately in the archives.

Great, thank you. It looks like the Cup match had a First Team fielded, with Henson at centre-forward, so it looks doubtful my grandfather played in the match.
