1863/64 Match 1 - 1/1/1864 : Shoalhaven C.C. vs Britannia C.C.

Report

The match between the above clubs came off at Shoalhaven on Friday. The weather was very threatening, but fortunately the rain kept off till it was time to draw the wickets, although the game was not concluded. The Shoalhaveners mustered very strong. We were disappointed by not seeing our own team leave with a few more of the old veterans: no doubt the “colts” did very well, but we think had one or two of the best gone, out men would have done better; still, if we may judge from the scores, we think the Kiamese would have won easily; as it stands, it is a drawn match.
The batting of some of the Shoalhaveners was excellent, especially that of James Thurgate, but we can’t say the same of the bowling. The fielding was rather poor also, a good many catches being missed; but the backstopping of Isaac Hyam was very good. The bowling of Williams and Frank Fredericks was very good, and the batting of Wells and W. Gordon was excellent, the latter making some stylish hits.
Kiama sent Fredericks and Howard to the bowling of John Monaghan and Green. The Kiama men retired for the score of 75. Shoalhaven then sent Bice and A. Hyam to the bowling of Fredericks and Williams. All out for 49.
Kiama went in for their second innings, and some of their best players going out for nil; however they made the fair score of 74; on the whole, considering the small amount of practice which our players have had lately, we think they did very well.
Shoalhaven went in for their last innings at 5 o’clock, and played very carefully to the steady bowling of Fredericks and Williams, and there were six of their best out when the wickets had to be drawn, it being half-past seven o’clock, leaving the Kiama men 39 runs ahead.

After the match the Shoalhaven cricketers courteously invited their opponents to a dinner at Mr. Howard’s Royal Hotel, Terara. The room was tastefully decorated with evergreens, and at the head of the table was a large “English Ensign”. Great credit is due to Mr Howard for the magnificent manner in which the dinner was got up. We need hardly say that justice was done to the good things provided.
We believe the return match is to take place in Kiama, in about three weeks or a month.
