The end of season fixtures in the Small Heath League brought together the top two teams in what was to be a title decider. Prior to the match the Mitre were top of the pile, but had to travel to take on their nearest rivals Beaufort Social Club. The result was a crucial 7-2 victory for the home side giving them a total of 20 points, exactly the same number of points as the Mitre. However, Beaufort lifted the league crown as they had a more superior average, four legs better off than the Mitre.
