Burton Swifts 1–3 Leicester Fosse

Rab King scored twice and assisted Tommy Galbraith as Leicester Fosse recovered to beat Burton Swifts 3–1. Harry Mainman converted Burton’s penalty at 14 minutes; Galbraith levelled at 23 from King’s assist. Rab King then converted a penalty at 52 and scored again at 81.

Leicester recorded forty shots and twenty-one on target. Joyce made eighteen saves; that keeper observation remains match-only because the identity is unresolved. Burton’s unidentified right-back was injured and removed at one minute, with no replacement. Four cautions and no dismissal were recorded; the replay finished at 96 minutes.

Records after this replay: Burton Swifts 4–3–11 (11 pts); Leicester Fosse 11–6–2 (28 pts). W–D–L, including historical opening results. Replay finish: 96 minutes.
