Hamilton responded with a total of 98, Jenkins being highest scorer with 20, followed closely by Sheath 17 and Kirk 1(5, Napper also getting into double figures. In their second venture Cambridge were not much more successful, scoring only 28 runs, thus losing the match by 49 runs and an innings. The fielding was only fair all round, except behind the wicket, where it w«\B good, as shown by the small number of extras on either side. A return match has been arranged for.
