1874/75 Match 2 - 24/10/1874 : Kiama Alberts C.C vs Kiama United C.C.

Report

A match is to be played on Saturday next, on the Church Point, between the Kiama United and the Kiama Alberts Clubs, for a new ball, play to commence at 11 o'clock; and it is intended to select the players for the Sydney match that afternoon. The following is the United team:- Messrs. C and J. McCaffrey, James and John Spinks, S. and A. Gordon, A. Osbourne, W. C. King, J. Hincks, F. Pinkstone and W. Christie, - D. King being the twelfth man; umpire, G. L. Fuller, Esq.
Kiama Independent and Shoalhaven Advertiser. Thursday 22 October, 1874

The match intimated in our last, between the United and Albert Clubs of Kiama, to take place on Saturday came off accordingly. The game commenced sometime after 11 'clock, it being a mutual understanding that it was to be decided by the first innings, if there was not time to play it out. In the first innings the Alberts (who opened the game at the wickets) had but a short life, obtaining only 43 runs; while their opponents put up a score of 77. The second innings of the Albert team was much more credible to them; when the stumps were drawn, after five o'clock (and the weather being very unfavourable), there were only 8 wickets down for the handsome score of 121 - R.King carrying his bat out with 70 runs to his name, obtained by most creditable batting. The match was for a ball; and an objection was raised to the Uniteds claiming it: but, in all fairness, they were entitled to it, on the understanding that it was to be a one-day's match, and they did quite right to press their claim. The analysis of the bowling show for both sides anything but a creditable result:- that of the Uniteds for the first innings gives rather more than 3 balls for every run obtained off the bat, but for the second innings more than 1 run for every 2 balls; the Alberts' analysis shows a unit under 1 run for every 2 balls. A. Gordon's bowling, taken by itself, shows an exceptionally good result; it will be seen below that he must have delivered at least 106 balls without giving a run.

A team of the United Club are to proceed to Sydney to play a match on the 9th proximo with the East Sydney Club. Arrangements have been made with the Steam Company for passages on the same terms as the volunteers, viz, half fares: and we may inform the men that they are invited to a dinner at the Oxford Hotel after the match. The team consists of the following members:- Messrs. C. and J. McCaffrey, A. and S. Gordon, R., W. C. and D. King, James and John Spinks, A. Osbourne, W. Christie, S. Richardson and (as umpire) G. L. Fuller.
