In contrast to the success of 1933-34, the 1^st XI ended in midtable in their second season in Division 2.  A number of reasons for this were offered in Graham Swales’ end of season report… "we are becoming more of a social than a football club and some entertain mixed feelings about the extraordinary success of the Bar and all that this success portends." The team certainly suffered from the resignation of one of its greats – former skipper Cedric Webb. They played a number of matches against semi pro opposition during the season and though they were unsuccessful in all these games they did put up fine performances. In the 2-1 defeat at Guildford in the Surrey Senior Cup, it was only the semi pro side’s superior fitness that separated the sides. The Club entered the Three Tons Charity Cup for the first time and lost 2-1 after extra time to Carshalton Athletic on Boxing Day morning. They also entertained the Reserves of Dulwich Hamlet and Clapton FC in friendlies at Beddington Park.

After a painfully slow start to the season, the Reserves stormed to 4^th place in Division 2, winning 7 of their last 9 league games. The "A"s narrowly missed consecutive league titles when they fished runners up to Merton by a point with 31 points from 20 games. The "B"s came second in Division 2 of the Surrey Amateur League with 25 points from 20 games.

The Club News weekly circulation had grown to over 200, meriting favourable references in the Press and gaining praise from outside quarters. It also threw up a number of idiosyncracies – for instance under Training Hints–

"Someone complained that the exercises made him stiff, so I’d better give you the following prescription for rubbing oils to get made up. Rub it in hard after exercising towards the heart.
