Darfield C.C. – Darfield 32 for 0 Houghton 22

July 1907

Barnsley Chronicle July 13, 1907

Darfield easily maintained their unbeaten record against Houghton, whom they disposed of for an insignificant 22, the innings proving little better than a procession to and from the wicket.

Brown (four wickets for 7 runs) and Needham (4 for 8 runs) were the chief executioners, Brass getting the remaining wicket – there was a man run out – for two runs.

Without turning a hair, so to speak,  Darfield got the necessary runs, J Needham (11) and G Spooner (21), both not out, doing all that was required.
