Tufnell Spartans, who have twice visited Clarence Park this season, in a League match when the City won 3-2 and in a friendly, when the City were victorious by 4-2 – entertained the City on Saturday on the Underhill ground, the Barnet club’s enclosure, where the Tufnell Spartan men have fixed their headquarters this season.
The City took a considerable number of supporters to Barnet and they were not by any means silent, the goals which came to the City – who won by the record margin of 11-1 – being counted in the approved style with great gusto and to the accompaniment of handbells.
It was fitting, perhaps, that the biggest victory of the season should be reserved for the last match of City’s League programme, this result probably having the effect of placing them third on the Spartan League table.

This result remains City’s all-time record win in competitive games away from home, the closest being an 8-0 Amateur Cup victory over R.A.F. Uxbridge in December 1922. |
