Notes
--> Haslingden innings limited to 26 overs due to their slow over rate
--> A Holden passed 2000 runs in Lancashire League matches when he reached 13
--> J Houldsworth reached 600 wickets in Lancashire League matches when taking his 3rd wicket in the Haslingden innings

Haslingden skipper refused to continue the game, declaring the Haslingden innings, in protest against what he later described as two diabolical decisions from the Umpire (quote from match report in newspaper)
