Sometimes the Gods are just on your side and nothing the oposition do will change that. North Eastern League side Darlington were outclassed for almost this entire game but they dug in and defended as if their life depended on it, breaking out just once to allow Alec Fraser the opportunity to give the visitors a shock half tim lead. In the second half United attacked with even more vigour and their reward seemed to come when James Taylor felled Joe Kitchen in the penalty area. Tommy Simmons took it and blasted the ball off the crossbar. 12,000 crammed into Feethams to see Bradford {Park Avenue} beaten 2-1 with Alec Fraser again netting to sensationally take the team into the third round where Swindon proved to good by three goals.
Sheffield United: 1:Joe Mitchell, 2:Joe Smith, 3:Bob Benson, 4:Bill Brelsford, 5:Albert Trueman, 6:Albert Sturgess, 7:Joe Kitchen, 8:Jim Simmons, 9:Billy Gllespie, 10:Tommy Simons, 11:Bobby Evans
Doncaster Rovers: James Taylor, Bannister, Alec Fraser
