This card comes from the Minor Counties Research Project
This return match ended as a draw, the visitors having been 135 runs behind on first innings. Northumberland had won the match at Newcastle in July. Two centuries were scored in the match. For Northumberland, Mortimer's five-hour innings of 145 not out included 11 fours and 15 threes, and it was the second highest individual score of the season. His run aggregate for the match of 163 was the second highest of the season. He and Elsey put on 149 runs for the fifth wicket in the visitors' second innings, equalling the record for that wicket set by W H Kingston and H E Kingston for Northamptonshire versus Staffordshire at Northampton earlier in the season. There were 3 fours in Elsey's 63. Hattersley-Smith's innings of 101 for Cambridgeshire contained 11 fours, 5 threes and 11 twos and lasted 2½ hours. There were 3 run outs in the Cambridgeshire innings. Rich kept wicket for the home team in the Northumberland second innings.
[Missing: In Northumberland 2nd inns'2s' in Mortimer's 145, and fall of 6th wicket; in Cambridgeshire inns fall of 4th, 7th and 8th wickets.]
