The Long Eaton v Boston fixture was declared void.

Official records suggest that Jack Millen & Jim Wells scored 5 & 11 points respectively in the Hull v Sunderland league fixture on June 20.

This corresponds with the Sunderland end of season averages.

Evidence suggests that Millen and Wells scored 4 & 12 points respectively, therefore clarification is required.
