Review of the Season: Two of Keyworth’s football professionals, Jack Armstrong and Alf Widdowson were featuring for Forest FC & Notts County FC respectively – for photos & stories check stories at the bottom of the season’s report. A ‘reserves’ team was entered into the Sunday School League, Senior Division but had to be withdrawn part way through the season due to the lack of availability of players to fill two elevens. The first team again made good progress in the Notts FA Junior Cup reaching the quarter final stage before losing to the eventual winners. Percy Disney was selected to represent the Spartan League XI against a Newark & District League XI on 21 January 1922.
