No play was possible on the second day due to a waterlogged pitch. Further attempts were made to complete the Final but ultimately the match was abandoned.
The Grimsby Town Knockout XI was a 'Rest of' team cobbled together at the last minute after the Scunthorpe Vandals team was disqualified because they refused to play on the selected days.
