Watford Corinthians 5  Sun Engraving 0           St Mary's Cup Semi-Final                1923/24

Played on the ground of the former club on Saturday.
A very even game was seen in the first half, but Corinthians were easily masters during the second period, and ran out easy winners by five to nil.
The home team wore black armlets, Mr Cartwright, a popular official of the club, having died very suddenly during the week,
Play was keen and fast, Corinthians forced a corner in the first minute, Wicks heading over.
Boyce played well for the home team, but should have made more use of Thorne.
Travers saved well from Dracott and Habbijam got in a good shot, which Goodman safely dealt with.
Barnes put in some delightful touches, from one of which Gurney got in a terrific drive which Travers stopped well but could not hold and Gurney, following up, missed the upright by inches.
Linney easily held the home right, and passed to god purpose, and Payne, on the opposite flank, gave little chance for the left wing to get going.
From a free kick for hands just outside the penalty area, and exciting scramble followed, and Goodman fell with the ball under him.
A free kick against the Sun relieved and play was transferred, Gurney coming close in the last minute of the first half.
Half time: no score.
Corinthians monopolised the play in the second half, and Travers did well to save from Buckingham and Gurney before being beaten easily by Barnes, after a centre from Buckingham.
Buckingham completed a good run with a splendid goal, and Gurney increased the score directly afterwards.
Trevers did well to hold a shot from Wilks, but Gurney scored again with a terrific shot.
Buckingham got across a perfect centre for Nobbs to add another.
