Mansell, Hunt & Catty 0 Andre & Sleigh 1                Sportsman's Cup Final                 1910/11

The cup, which has been in existence for seven years, was won in 1905 by Harmsworth, Gravesend, 1906 by the same firm, jointly with Allen's of Harrow and 1907, again by Allen's team.
the following year it was recaptured by Harmsworth and in 1909 by Mansell, Hunt and Catty, who this year have to relinquish it to our local firm of Andre and Sleigh's.
it might be added also, as an instance of the excellent sporting characteristics of Andre and Sleigh's that the rifle club in connection with the firm is the holder of the Astor Cup, and that the cricket club has good prospects for the coming season.

Andre & Sleigh: Pleasted; Brinklow and Hatton; Hayes, Palmer and Brooks; Hibbs, Williams, Edmonds, Blyth and Patterson
