Albion First Innings Total for eight wickets (dec.) 225 An Exciting Finish In a race against time Old Boys played an exciting match against City (which although behind on runs had one wicket in hand when stumps wero drawn for the day) and gained a two-point win on the first innings. Nineteen runs behind the Old Boys' first innings total at stumps the previous day, City carried its total past that of the opposing team without further loss, and mainly due to a solid stand by Hickey, gained a thir-teen-run lead on the innings. Adopting aggressive tactics, the Old Boys played delightful cricket in the second innings by scoring at the rate of two runs a minute. Hinton (23), Spedding (32), Beale (31), all scored runs quickly, as did Lunn, who was 36 not out when the innings was declared closed at 150 for the loss of five wickets.
