Sheffield Collegiate 205 Denaby 161 for 6

At Abbeydale Park, on Saturday, Denaby made a fine effort to snatch a win after Collegiate had knocked up 205, and left them only 130 minutes to get the runs. George Worthington and Appleyard bowled well to take four wickets for 45, and three for 39 respectively, the Collegiate innings was a two-man show, only a fine stand by Gow (90) and Doncaster (56) saving the side from collapse.

Vollans (36) Greenwood (40) Tibbles (46) and Clarkson (28 not out) scored freely for Denaby but the job was just a little too much.
