Final
At the time, only clubs from Paris, the North and Normandy had reached the final, so CA Paris reaching the final proves the development of football in Southern France.[2] They found themselves leading two goals to one at half-time, but SH Marseille, who fielded a team with 10 Swiss players and one English men, reversed the situation in the second half thanks to a brace from Widdington, thus winning their first title of champion of France.[3]
