The White Stars played a defensive game in the tie to earn a home replay,[7] which the White Stars won thanks to scrimmaging the only goal in the first half, but the result was overturned on appeal, on the basis that the home crowd kept coming onto the pitch every time the Druids threatened the White Stars' goal, and the referee failed to award a goal to Druids after a Ketley shot was only stopped behind the goal-line[8] - and were not given a free-kick after goalkeeper Tom Jones carried the ball for several yards in the aftermath in contradiction to the laws at the time.

In the third, the club met Bangor at Wrexham, and after being two goals to the good, were forced into a replay after it conceded a bizarre late own-goal, defenders trying to get out of the way of a goal-bound throw-in but one inadvertently touching the ball en route.

The first match, at Oswestry, ended in a draw, and the replay, at Newtown's ground, went the White Stars' way 2–1, holding on after scoring twice in the first half-an-hour.

[16] The final against Wrexham was played at Oswestry, where the White Stars proved to be the favourites with the thousand-strong crowd, even though they were the outsiders; one expert stating that he would bet "Lombard Street to a bottle of pop" on the Wrexhamites.

However the White Stars won 1–0, the winning goal coming on the hour when Rees followed up up after a Davies shot was saved.

[21] The White Stars' defence of the Cup ended against the eventual winners Druids in the "semi" final (due to an imbalance in the draw, there were 3 teams remaining at the time) at Oswestry, the match being delayed by the referee not turning up and the clubs having to select a suitable individual from the crowd; the White Stars never recovered after conceding twice in the opening nine minutes.
