History of the Club 4 of 11

4. A game played at Thrumpton Sep 23rd 1867


A report taken from the Nottingham Guardian October 4th 1867

On Saturday last a match was played on the ground adjoining Thrumpton Hall between sides chosen by Mr Hangreaves and Mr C Daft. It had been arranged for an XI got together by Mr Hangreaves to play an XI of Duffield.

Owing to some misunderstanding the latter did not turn up, and to prevent disappointment, the match in question was played and C.Clifton, Mr Hangreaves, the Rev FA Charles and Yeomans batted uncommonly well for their respective runs.

An excellent dinner was provided on the ground by Captain Byron and the match enjoyed.

Mr Hangreaves XI 1st Inns 58 2nd Inns 48

Mr C Daft XI 1st Inns 61 2nd Inns 23

Mr Hangreaves XI won by 23 runs
