This card comes from the Minor Counties Research Project - research is continuing on this scorecard which can be expected to change.
A heavy shower on the first day delayed play until 12.30 pm and this relatively slow scoring match ended in a draw. For Northumberland, there were 8 fours in Hansell's 90. For the home team, there were two partnerships of 81 runs between Smith and Horton for the eighth wicket and between Horton and Cox for the ninth. The partnership for the eighth wicket was the highest for that wicket during the season, and the partnership for the ninth wicket was the second highest. Horton's 79 included 6 fours and Smith's 74 contained 5 fours.
[Missing: One umpire; extras breakdown; in Northumberland 2nd inns fall of 1st, 4th and 5th wickets.]
