Sat 28th September 1895 Friendly Kingston-on-Thames 6-0 London Welsh Reserves (HT: N/A) Ocock (4), Kemp, Peck.
KINGSTON-ON-THAMES v. LONDON WELSH RESERVES (A).- This match, which had been looked forward to with a great deal of interest, proved rather disappointing on Saturday, on the Fairfield, Kingston, owing to the Welshmen turning up five short. In order, however, to have a game four substitutes were found for them, and they thus played one man short all through. The match throughout was all in favour of Kingston, who scored six goals to nil (Ocock 4, Peck 1, Kemp 1). Several new members were played with conspicuous success, Morfett and Collinson playing a sound game at back, while the halves also played good football. The arrangement of the forwards this season has been considerably altered, Peck playing with Kemp on the left, and Lloyd playing centre forward instead of centre half-back. Ocock assumes his old place, and still works as hard as ever. With a little practice together the team ought to render a good account of itself. Report from Surrey Comet dated 5 October 1895- see report in original format. The opening match of the Kingston-on-Thames Association team on Saturday on the Fairfield was somewhat of a disappointment, more especially as some good play was anticipated from a team bearing the well-known name of London Welsh. The hot weather may have had something to do with keeping half the team away, but it was hardly what was to be expected from a club of such high reputation. However, they came five short, and although four substitutes were found for them, all interest in the match at once evaporated. Kingston won by six goals to nil. Several new men were tried in the home side wIth success, while some changes in the positions of the old players from those held by them last season appeared to work smoothly, but it is impossible to say if the effect will be beneficial or not until the team is brought into contact with a full combination. Notes from Surrey Comet dated 5 October 1895- see report in original format.
