Review
Played at Sociedad Sportive Argentina. There is a review that we found in an Argentinian publcation that translates to this:
Caras y caretas (Buenos Aires)
With the same enthusiasm as the previous Sunday, the influx of public continued to witness the game played, in the premises of the Sportiva Argentina on Thursday, Saturday and Sunday last between 'Nottingham Forest and 'Británicos', 'Rosario' and 'Alumni'.
On Saturday the audience had to endure an unpleasant fog that lasted throughout the afternoon. One of the meetings that had aroused the most interest was that of the English players with the Alumni team that has always played a brilliant role. Given the elements of this, it was expected that Nottingham would be forced to deploy all its energies and the hope was not disappointed, because it actually had to play with a push like until that time had not shown. The final result of the meeting, after an interesting fight, was 8 goals for "Nottingham" and or for Alumni.
The match announced for next week is awaited with fair interest, in which the players of Nottingham will be divided into two opposing sides, complete with players from Team Alumni.
Ken Smales lists Tom Clifford and Robert Norris playing in midfield whereas the RSSSF lists Sam Timmings and Albert Holmes in numbers 4 and 6 respectively. Seeing as they also include Sam Timmins as scoring the sixth goal, I'm including him in the lineup.
