In a game in which neither side batted with any confidence, the School lost to Ampleforth College by 5 wickets and thus suffered their first defeat in inter-School matches.

Having been put in to bat, the School's innings started disastrously, and at 25 for 6 all the early batsmen had failed. A partial recovery was made by Bainbridge (20) and Walmsley (11), whose partnership nearly doubled the score. However, after Walmsley had been given out LBW, the innings did not last long, although Houseman and Bowie added 18 for the last wicket. The Ampleforth opening bowlers did most of the damage, D. Calligan taking 4 for 20 and J. J. Wadham 3 for 18.

The School's seam bowlers, unlike their batsmen, were far from generous, and Ampleforth had to struggle all the way. At 58 for 5, there was just a faint chance that the School might win, but some powerful hits by F. Fitzherbert (16 not out) saw Ampleforth home. Bowie (3 for 29) and Houseman (2 for 28) bowled well and were excellently supported by Coverdale, who caught four of the five batsmen dismissed.
