Our thanks to Arthur Haygarth for collecting the information and to Roger Heavens for providing this scorecard which was first published in Arthur Haygarth's Cricket Scores and Biographies Volume 16. Copies of the book can be obtained from http://booksoncricket.net . Additions or corrections to this scorecard would be gratefully received.
Source states that the weather was very bad. The county did not have their full strength. Mr.W.G. Grace did not play. The names of the villages where the Colts came from was not given, or they would have been added. In another account this match was played on May 9 & 10. [The Colts' opening batsman L.M. Day, according to a note by F.S. Ashley-Cooper, was not caught by Mackeson, the name being deleted.]
