The first match between the above clubs took place on the Point Ground - which was not in good order - on Saturday last. The weather had a rather threatening aspect all day, though the rain kept off till within a few minutes before the conclusion of the match, when a slight shower fell.
The Nationals won the toss, and decided on taking the field, Abbott and D. King, of the Kiama team, took their stations at the wickets. The misfortunes usually attendant on the commencement of the Kiama Club's first innings were again remarkable on this occasion; D. King was bowled by J. Galvin without score, Abbot's wicket fell to Hegarty's bowling for a single, Sproule also being bowled by Hegarty for 1, and T. King being well caught at point by Hughes off J. Galvin's bowling. Gordon and Williams, being together at the wickets, speedily turned the tide in favour of their side, and keeping the field in motion; the former scoring 31, and the latter 24, off the bat. Williams was run out, and Gordon caught by John Richards off J. Galvin. Turner made up a score of 11 by a few fine hits, but was also caught by John Richards off J. Galvin. T. York and Howard were both bowled by Hegarty, the former for 3, and the latter for 2. Logan was bowled by Hegarty for a single, and J. King not out for 2. Total for first innings, inclusive of byes and wides, 82.
The Nationals opened their first innings by sending in John Richards and T. Galvin to the wickets. T. Galvin made 6 by good play, but he skied a ball from D. King, and was well caught by Sproule. John Richards was bowled by D. King for 2: James Richards was bowled by Gordon for 3. J. Galvin made a score of 17 by bold play, and eventually gave Turner a smart and difficult catch off Williams. Saunderson for 0, Hughes ditto, and James Butler for 2, were severally bowled by Williams. Hegarty for 4, and Maguire for nil were both bowled by Gordon. Butler hit his wicket after scoring a single. Rixon not out for 2; making a total of 38 for the innings.
J. King and Logan then took the bat for the second innings of the Kiama Club; the latter was caught by T. off J. Galvin for 2, and the former was bowled by J. Galvin without score. Turner for 9, and Gordon for 2, were each bowled by Hegarty. During this innings J. Galvin also bowled T. York for 0, T. King for 3, Sproule for 0, and Williams for 9. Abbott was caught by T. Hughes off T. Galvin for 0; D. King was caught by Rixon off J. Galvin for 3; and Howard not out for 1. The innings closed for 32.
For the final innings of the match, James Richards and Rixon first appeared at the wickets, and the former was caught by Gordon off his own bowling for 3. T. Galvin was caught by York off Gordon for 1. Williams bowled Rixon without score, Hughes for 1, Hegarty for 1, John Richards for 2, and Saunderson for 3. Gordon bowled J. Galvin for 5, James Butler for 0, and Maguire ditto. John Butler not out for 7; making a total of 26 for the innings.
The Kiama cricketers have, therefore, beaten their opponents by their first innings alone; if the gross totals are considered they have 49 runs to spare.
The bowling and fielding on both sides was good.
The match went off with perfect good will on both sides, no bickering or dispute arising to disturb the harmony throughout the day.
The cricketers then adjourned to Mr. Adams's, where they spent a most agreeable finale to the day's sport, a spread having been provided for the occasion.
