This card comes from the Minor Counties Research Project - research is continuing on this scorecard which can be expected to change.
Rain-affected drawn match with Staffordshire winning on first innings. Rain prevented any play on the first day. The Staffordshire declaration left Lincolnshire with a victory target of 125 runs in 50 minutes. With the visitors seeking quick runs, Foster, who was an occasional bowler with his club, took 5 wickets for 5 runs in the Staffordshire second innings in his debut match. In the Staffordshire first innings, Johnson and Bucknell put on 55 runs for the eighth wicket.
[Missing: Umpires; in Lincolnshire second innings who bowled 2 no-balls.]
