The reporter for the Bucks Examiner wrote that "Brompton were good value for a draw" and praised Martin's performance in goal.^[12][37] The team ended their run of games without a victory by defeating Swindon at Priestfield Road on 23 March; after both teams had scored in the first half, a goal late in the game from Smith made the final score 2–1.^[38] The final two games of March resulted in draws against Leyton and Norwich.^[12]

New Brompton's first game of April was at home to Portsmouth, who were challenging Fulham for the Southern League championship.^[39] Hartley gave New Brompton the lead in the first half and Marriott scored after the interval.
