The snow had been falling heavy so the Cobblers had to book a hotel near the ground to make sure they where able to be there on time and so they could be safe after the game. Prior to the game the Cobblers spent three days at Broadstairs.
Referee Mr P Walters saw the Cobblers score first as Broadfoot put Brown through and he drew Standen before putting the ball into the net. However before the end of the first half Mr Walters awarded the home side a penalty Coe dropped a shot , Britt headed towards goal,, Everitt fisted over the bar, Brown converted the penalty.
