team notes:

The original selection included Wolverhampton Wanderers FC's & Oxford University AFC's Kenneth Hunt, Queen's Park Rangers FC's Evelyn Lintott and West Ham United FC's Harry Stapley. There places went to Hawkes, Wedlock and Hilsdon. Woolwich Arsenal FC's Andy Ducat was unable to accept the post of 'reserve', as he had prior cricketing arrangements.
This is the first time that England have produced an unchanged side, in this, their 98th match. It is also the most experienced team they have fielded, thus far.
With the beginnings of a continental tour, this is the first time England have played seven matches in a season.
This victory equals the record of six victories in a row. The first time they have won six in a season.
The first time England have scored 39 goals in a season.
