Valleys vs Wattles

According to the Daily Standard, the game was abandoned by the referee due to ‘ugly tactics’ employed by Wattles. Valleys received the two competition points. This was the beginning of the end of Wattles, with reporting the following Friday stating that “Wattles have in consequence to retire from the competition”.
