This match was played at the Pavilion Grounds on Saturday last. Norwood batted first, putting together 137 of which number Roe made a faultless score of 72 not out. The visitors on going in began scoring very rapidly and the telegraph recorded 90 runs for only two wickets down, but then followed a collapse and when the last man went in they still wanted 5 runs to win, and this they managed to do after a most exciting finish. Their victory was due to a fine free hitting innings of 63 by A. E. Cox, marred however, by two or three chances which were not accepted. Score:—
