Played at Bootham, May 27th. Result : St. Peter's School lost by
2
wickets.
This match, although providing a very, thrilling finish, was otherwise somewhat uninteresting owing to the small scores. 7Bootham won the toss but decided to put St. Peter's in to bat. Harpley and Richards: opened the School's innings, but in the first over Harpley was bowled. Medhurst in next, was out first ball. However, after Haynes had been dismissed, Armstrong and Pattinson contrived to raise the score, and were the only ones to offer any resistance to the bowling. As soon as these two were out, the side collapsed, and the School's total was only 59. Bootham now batted, but failed to punish our bowling, and only just managed to pass our score after the fall of the ninth wicket, the tenth wicket falling for 62. The chief scorers were J. Wood and Wilson, who made 18-13 respectively. A second innings was decided upon, Harpley and Richards again opening for the School, but unluckily Harpley was bowled without any runs being scored. Runs came fast with Richards . andMehurstil3o wabled.Nof a collapse far worse than the first innings, the remaining 8 wickets falling for II runs, the whole side making only 41. Bootham were left with only 38 runs to get. At one time it looked as if St. Peter's would just manage to win, but soon after the fall of the seventh wicket their score was passed.
