Nicholson 40*, Bamforth 33* Beckett 3-10, Bamforth 2-1, Nicholson 2-19
This League match was played at White Lane on Saturday, when owing to superior all-round play the visitors were enabled to score an easy victory. No fault could be found with the Mexborough feeling. The batting of Nicholson and Barnes first was a treat, was the bowling may be judged from the analysis above.
Bennett’s wicket-keeper was a treat to witness, and if he would only keep it up, we have no hesitation in saying that he will be second to none.
