1914 Trophée de France

[9] The final was held on 26 April at the Charentonneau in Paris; the crowd of the capital already had the opportunity to see OL at work twice during the qualifiers of the USFSA national championship, with victories over US Servannaise and Olympique de Cette, and the fierce energy of the northern region deployed in those matches had left a lasting impression on the Parisians, who thus considered them the favourites to win.

[2] The final was delayed 15 minutes because OL's leaders threatened to forfeit if Clark, who two weeks prior had played for Plumstead FC, took part in the match, but in the end, Henri Jooris, despite having reservations, accepted the fight.

[3] Médoc won the toin coss and took advantage of it to leave OL with the sun in their eyes, but despite this, it was OL who started better, mainly thanks to the virtuosity of Chandelier, whose passes gave excellent opportunities to Six and Eloy, and a goal was even scored by captain Jean Ducret, but was disallowed due to offside, so Chandelier decided to take it upon himself, converting a good pass from Maurice Gravelines into the opening goal just seven minutes after the kick-off.

[3] In the second half, two attacks from Médoc disturb the peace of OL's goalkeeper Carpentier, and force their defenders Jouvel and Jean Degouve to show, the first his flexibility, the second his power.

[1] The journalists of La Vie au grand air described the match "as choppy, imprecise, interrupted by stops, to allow the men to recover from the violent shocks".
