Paris A are the defending France Federal men’s football
champions and were the team to beat in Naives-Rosières.
Joining them in the fray in this second round were Clermont, Navies and another young club Lille. The Paris club
were split into two teams Paris White & Blue. The Paris
White team had won the opening round in February at
Clermont and were again to the fore going unbeaten in the
early rounds. Clermont who had finished a creditable 3rd
place at their home tournament last time were also going
well with wins over Lille, Paris Blue and Naives. The top
two of Paris White and Clermont met in the final with Paris running out four point winners on a scoreline of Paris
White 1-5 to Clermont’s 0-4.
