1926

From Sid Grant History of Coalfields Soccer

In 1926, improved goalscoring results by Manion (20), McCroarey (17). W. Avis (11), added strength to the Geordies' challenge for honours. 

When Neath withdrew, Weston received the services of Henwood, Purcell and Drinkwater. While a volatile junior, Jimmy McNabb wore the club's. colours for the first time. Despite two brilliant goals by Manion, Weston was ko'ed by Adamstown by 5 to 2 in Kerr Cup semi-final. It is worthy to note that the club's reserve eleven beat Pelaw Main by 4 to 3 in final. Winning team comprised Turner, But­ler, Smith, Rogerson, E. Williams, Patterson, H. Bellamy, Tate, Bryce, Williams, Marriott.
