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. 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.
