The reserves surrendered a 3-0 half-time lead at Stockport to draw 3-3, while the “A” team won 4-3 at Notts County to keep them top of the Derbyshire Senior League. #CFC100

by a Cookson penalty on 22, after he had been bundled over in the box.

The second half saw the Spireites turn up the heat. Cookson was again fouled on 65 and again scored from the spot. Good wing play by Fisher and Hopkinson kept the pressure up and Cookson was able to compete his hat-trick #CFC100

The veteran former Barnsley full-back Jack Gittins was signed this week for a £275 fee and went straight into the side to face Tranmere at Saltergate today. Both sides played at a fast pace and the score stood at 1-1 at half-time, with Charlton’s 14th-minute opener cancelled out #CFC100

the home side; The Spireites controlled the rest of it to emerge 1-0 winners.

Staveley Town knocked the “A” Team out of the Derbyshire Senior League Benevolent Cup, winning 3-1. With the reserves having no game, Chesterfield’s team was a curious mixture of 2nd XI players and triallists. #CFC100

With the wind now driving rain into their faces Walsall were gradually forced back. With 17 minutes gone Hopkinson got away for Chesterfield and found the well-positioned Cookson with a cross. Jimmy made no mistake, notching his twelfth goal in ten games. This knocked the stuffing out of #CFC100

Bert Ralphs was tried in the problem right-half position.
Walsall, with the twin advantage of the wind and the slope had the better of the first half but Birch stood up to the task, Hadlington missed a sitter and The Saddlers hit the bar twice before half time arrived with the score at 0-0. #CFC100

Both sides were forced into changes before Walsall and Chesterfield met at Fellows Park today. The home side gave Hadlington a debut at inside-right, while the visitors introduced 20-year-old Albert Worthy, of Pilsley, at right-back in place of the injured Saxby. #CFC100

With a game in hand, the team are two points behind leaders Stoke, who lost 5-0 at New Brighton.

The reserves lost 4-2 at Bradford, while Reuben Bradley, the Stonegravels amateur, had a debut to forget in goal for the “A” Team, beaten 6-2 at Mansfield Town Reserves. #CFC100

but two goals from Bradford’s Ken McDonald turned the game around until Chesterfield's late, spirited comeback. When Fisher netted, his team-mates all surrounded him and carried him back to the centre-circle in celebration. #CFC100

Bradford (Park Avenue) looked like holding their 2-1 lead until late goals from Jimmy Cookson (83) and Jacky Fisher (85) saw Chesterfield extend their unbeaten run to eight games at Saltergate today. Jimmy Moore gave the Spireites a 10th-minute lead #CFC100

The “A” Team played yesterday, beating Bolsover Colliery 3-2 in the Derbyshire Senior League Benevolent Cup, with goals from Harry Cousins, Arthur Keightley and Fred Dickens. A trip to Staveley in the second round awaits. #CFC100

run out winners by 11 (eleven) goals to 3. It should perhaps be said that six goals came after Atter, the Millers keeper, went off with a broken collar bone. Bert Ralphs scored five with fierce drives, with the rest coming from Norman Whitfield (3,) Walter Nutter (2,) and Harry Roberts. #CFC100

Sam Hopkinson and Jimmy Moore added the other goals in a comfortable win.

If Rotherham’s reserves thought they might restore their club’s dignity in the Midland League game at Saltergate, then they were mistaken. 3-2 up at half-time, a berserk second period saw the Spireites’ seconds #CFC100

Chesterfield’s recent good run continued with an eye-catching 4-0 win at Rotherham today that lifted the team to second place in Division Three (North.) The Millers’ forwards made no impression against The Spireites’ half-backs, and centre-half Abbott was able to get forward to score twice. #CFC100

The reserves have conceded nine at Barnsley in the last two visits so it was no surprise that they shipped another four on Saturday. The “A” team drew 2-2 with Mansfield Reserves on Wednesday, with Nat Atrill, the son of the vice-chairman, getting his first goal in Spireite colours. 4/4 #CFC100

such was the strength of Chesterfield’s halves and full-backs. The lobbed passing of Chesterfield’s men was generally less effective than the ground passing of Stoke. 1-1 was probably a fair result. 9,916 saw the game. 3/4 #CFC100

The Spireites’ joy lasted only two minutes before the visitors’ attack advanced in a line and Wilson put away Williams’ well-placed centre. Although Stoke finished the stronger, Birch was forced into action only half a dozen times in the whole game, 2/4 #CFC100

Had Chesterfield made the most of their first-half superiority at Saltergate today they might have been well clear of visitors Stoke City by half-time. As it was, they had to wait until Jimmy Cookson found the net in the 65th minute with a low shot, after good work by Abbott and Moore. 1/4 #CFC100

and exacted revenge for his enforced absence by scoring Chesterfield’s third with two minutes to go.
The reserves played out a 0-0 draw with Doncaster’s second string at Saltergate, while the “A” Team won 4-0 at Long Eaton Reserves. 3/3 #CFC100

Arnold Birch saved a penalty on the hour and Horace Wass was controversially sent off a little later for foul play. The Spireites went down to nine men ten minutes later when Cookson was carried off, but the talismanic leader was able to resume 2/3 #CFC100
