From Sid Grant History of Coalfields Soccer
Two new arrivals for 1933 were Tom Shakespeare (Aberdare) and J. Drinkwater. Weston's Cup record was superior to its league effort. After crushing West Wallsend in State Cup by 8 to 0, it gave a feeble effort versus Cessnock to go down by 2 to 1 on the Homestead.
However, Weston retained the Stevenson Cup by beating Aberdare by 2 to 0. This saw the retirement of international, Jacky Manion, one of the all-time "greats" for Weston.
Goalscorers were -- J. Williams (21), A Teece (14), H. Biggers (13).
Wise counsel prevailed at the Homestead where president, Billy Williams, and secretary, Jack Avis, proved clever leaders in choosing future stars.
