He played a careful innings, and hit two sixers and two fours. Nine of the team were out for no runs. The bowlers were M. Williams, who took five wickets for 1 run, and H. McGormac, who captured six wickets, including the hat trick. In their second innings Railway made 112, H. McCormac (25), Bodden (21), Nairn (19) and M. Williams (16) being the double figure scorers.
