This match was left drawn with Hertfordshire winning on the first innings; Norfolk were asked to follow on but comfortably played out time.
For the home side there were 20 fours in Etheridge's 136 and Household scored 86; they added 146 runs for the fourth wicket and both took 3 catches in the match.
In Norfolk's second innings Marsh took 5 wickets for 74 runs.
For the visitors there were 1 six and 13 fours in Stevens' unbeaten 90; he also top scored in the second innings, during which he struck 3 sixes and 1 four off one over (almost certainly bowled by Burton).
Gibson was late and Thurgar, who was unable to stay for the whole match, delayed his departure to act as twelfth man until Gibson arrived.
Norfolk employed two night-watchmen in their first innings but both Gibson and Falconer were dismissed before the close, as was Wynne-Willson, who went into bat at number four.
