For the fifth time, the match was contested by select teams of amateur and professional players.[1] It was played on 6 October 1926, at Maine Road, Manchester, and ended as a 6–3 win for the Amateurs. Wilfred Minter and Frank Macey each scored twice, Edgar Kail once, and an own goal by Michael Keeping completed the Amateurs' scoring; Bill Rawlings scored twice and Fred Tunstall scored once for the Professionals.[2][3]
