MATCH

The Guernsey Press

‘Guernsey team does well’

Victoria College ground

The Guernsey cricket team which met a Jersey side in Jersey yesterday nearly managed to snatch a victory in a game severely curtailed by rain. For the loss of five wickets the Jersey XI scored 113 runs before the innings was declared closed. In reply the Guernsey team scored 90 for 5 in about 1½ hours. The match was due to start at 11.30 but this was impossible in view of the heavy rain. Eventually, although conditions were far from good -at one time it was thought likely the match would have to be abandoned – a start was made shortly before three o’clock.

Then followed a stand which produced 24 and Calvert and Smith added a further 23 in an undefeated stand before the innings was declared closed.

The weather gradually improved and the final stages were played under more appropriate cricket conditions. Van Leuven and Le Feuvre put on 49 in an opening partnership, Van Leuven leaving with 29 to his credit. Vaudin helped the score along when he joined Le Feuvre but at 78 he was run out. Two runs later Hopwood was caught off Pitman but Hotton soon had 2 fours to his credit. Le Feuvre was undefeated with 35 when the match was left drawn, only one four being included in his knock.

The Star

‘Inter-Insular cricket match is drawn’

Rain seriously interfered with the Guernsey-Jersey cricket match in Jersey yesterday. A very late start was made and the result was match drawn. Batting first the Jersey side lost two wickets for 35 during a period when rain fell steadily. Eventually the total was taken to 113 for 5 in 41 overs and the inning was declared closed.

With about one and a half hours left for play the Guernsey side was given a good start by Van Leuven and Le Feuvre. Forty-nine runs were scored before the first wicket fell, but time ran out when 90 runs were on the board for the loss of three wickets in 28 overs.
