Kiama Examiner. Tuesday 6 August 1861
1860/61 Match 8 - 24/5/1861 : Shoalhaven C.C vs Britannia C.C
Report
BRITANNIA V SHOALHAVEN
The match for the championship, between eleven of the Britannia Club, of Kiama, and eleven of the district of Shoalhaven, was commenced on the 24th instant at Shoalhaven. The weather was fine, but a strong westerly wind made the play rather unpleasant. The ground was in excellent order, and during the first day the game was attended by a large number of spectators.
The Britannia team were minus three of their best men; this, coupled with the well-known experience and past performances, made the "chance" of Britannia's victory look small.
At half-past nine o'clock the wickets were pitched, and the Captains of the respective clubs having tossed for choice, the Britannia won, and Shoalhaven went to the wickets - Messrs. Bice and A. Hyam taking the bat.
The play on both sides was excellent; the number of byes in the Shoalhaven first innings were occasioned by the long-stop receiving a sever blow on the knee from Mr Turner in the first over, who had too much steam at his disposal in the first innings to do anything but lame those at the wickets; but he cooled down in the second innings, and made some impression on the Shoalhaven wickets. The bowling of Mr. F. Fredericks was superb throughout. Mr Biddulph bowled round arm in the first innings, but with little effect. The bowling of Mr. Thurgate was excellent, nearly every ball being pitched "dead on". The fielding of the Britannia's was decidedly the best; and in batting they showed much improvement - that of Mr J. King, who made the highest score on the Britannia side, and no doubt would have made the highest score on either side had the innings been played out, was both stylish and effective. The fielding of Shoalhaven has improved remarkably, and their batting is not to be surpassed by any others that the Britannia Club have had the pleasure of meeting. Mr A. Hyam scored highest in this match. Mr C.D. Robson, in the first innings, had one very narrow escape, having been stumped out; but the decision was given by the umpire at the striker's wicket, and a dispute arose which was settled by the Britannia Captain agreeing to his coming to the wicket again. The match was not finished until 12 o'clock on Saturday. Towards the close of the game it became very exciting - the Britannia having now won two matches, one on their own ground and this, thus leaving them conquerors for the present. We are happy to add, that everything passed off in the most pleasant manner, and a more agreeable company we never had the pleasure of meeting with.
THE DINNER
The dinner was excellent, and received ample justice by above forty, who seemed delighted with the fare. H. Moss Esq was voted to the chair, and J. Black Esq to the vice chair, the "Queen" and other usual toasts were drank, among which was that of the Captains, each responded, and spoke in very high terms of the respectful and cordial feeling existing between the two clubs; also that of the Host and Hostess who were complimented very highly for their efforts and kindness. The company separated between 9 and 10 o'clock after spending a very agreeable and harmonious evening.

1860/61 Match 7 - 25/4/1861 : Britannia C.C vs Shoalhaven C.C
Report
BRITANNIA V SHOALHAVEN CRICKET
The return match between these clubs was played on Wednesday last, at Kiama. The weather was very unfavourable to the play, as it had rained heavily on Tuesday afternoon and during the night. At 11 o'clock (Britannia having won the toss) Messrs. G. and S. Turner went to the wickets to respond to the bowling of Messrs Biddulph and Thurgate. Much was expected from the bowling of the former gentleman, but owing to the raw and slippery state of the ground, he was, after a few attempts to place round-armers, obliged to change his mode of attack, and bowl under-arm throughout the game.
In the first innings, G. Turner and A. Gordon were very successful, hitting both bowlers away as they liked, and each placing 31 to his name. The innings ended for a score of 86. Shoalhaven sent in Messrs. Bice and Thurgate to the bowling of G. Turner and F. Fredericks. A. Hyam and W. Gollan were the only two who made a stand in this innings. All out for 51— the Britannias 35 ahead. The Messrs. Turner again went to the wickets. Mr. G. Turner, however, in playing rather loose at Biddulph's first ball, went out leg before wicket. Gordon next took the bat, but with little better success; and the Britannias had the mortification at finding themselves 'out' for 22 runs all told. Everything now seemed in favour of Shoalhaven Messrs. Bice and A. Hyam took the bat— the former scored 16 and the latter 9. Messrs. Kennedy, Biddulph, Thurgate, Hughes, and Gollan going out for 8. After this mishap, J. Monaghan made a gallant attempt to retrieve the fortune of Shoalhaven but it proved fruitless; and he carried his bat out after scoring 13:— 49 for this innings; total, 97.— Kiama winning by 11 runs.
At the conclusion of the game, the players, accompanied by a few friends, proceeded to the Steam Packet Inn, where they partook of an excellent dinner provided by the host Adams. J.L. Biddulph Esq was moved to the chair; and J. Black Esq occupied the vice-chair. After the guests had partaken of a hearty dinner, the Chairman rose and proposed the first toast – “The Queen”, which was followed by a number of other toasts; several songs were sung; and the company, after enjoying a very pleasant evening, separated about ten o’clock.
The game stands now at one and one – the conqueror will come off at Shoalhaven on the 24th of May.

1860/61 Match 6 - 4/4/1861 : Shoalhaven C.C vs Britannia C.C
Report
The match between the district of Shoalhaven and eleven of the Britannia Club Kiama, which was to have been played on Wednesday, had to be postponed, in consequence of the wet, until Thursday afternoon. The weather was very unfavourable, the Kiama eleven had to travel to Shoalhaven through torrents of rain which continued for two days, making the ground in a very unfit state for playing. The game was commenced by the Kiama players, and their innings, as the score will show, was a very short one, they only making twenty seven runs. The Shoalhaven players then went in, and scored 62, so that the game was all but won by Shoalhaven in their first innings. The batting on the part of the Kiama players was very inferior to what has been displayed in any of their previous matches, and the round-arm bowling of J. L. Biddulph, appeared to puzzle them a good deal. Their fielding was, however, far superior to that of Shoalhaven.
After the game was over, a scratch match was played between the two elevens of one inning each, which resulted in favour of Kiama with eighteen runs to spare.
THE DINNER:- After the game was over, the players and a few friends repaired to the Host Hyam's, to partake of the dinner, which di great credit to the establishment, and to which the company did ample justice. Altogether the affair passed off with great eclet.
The return match will be played in Kiama, on the 24th instant.

1860/61 Match 5 - 20/2/1861 : Denison C.C vs Britannia C.C.
Report
After two postponements, the Britannia and Denison elevens got together on Wednesday last to play the return match. The game was contested in one of Mr Miller's paddocks on the Gerringong Swamp. the weather was very favourable; and a large number of spectators were present from Gerringong and Kiama, several "turn outs" arriving from both places freighted with the fair sex, and a liberal supply of "good things", the latter of which judging from the sounds of merriment occasionally wafted from the "Oaks" were not forgotten.
About half past ten, Gerringong sent Messrs Durant and Christie to the wickets. With the exception of the bowling and fielding, the play on both sides was poor. The former was well sustained throughout the game by Messrs G Turner, Fredericks, Williams and Smith, as the analysis will show. Gerringong held the bat for a short hour, closing their first innings for the "awfully" low score of thirteen - 11 off the bat, 1 bye and 1 leg bye. g Turner, in the ninth over of this innings, taking three wickets.
Kiama followed, represented by Messrs Tibby and S. Turner; but their "time" was short; in fact the only parties that made a stand and scored were Messrs G Turner and T D Meares. the batting of the above two was very good - the former getting 11 singles, and the latter two doubles and 5 singles. The last wicket fell for 28 off the bat, 4 byes and 4 wides, making a total of 36.
The Gerringong men, designated "game chickens" by our Gerringong correspondent, nothing daunted by their bad luck, went in again with a determination and pluck which merited a more favourable result. As before, however, the bowling proved too severe, and the score closed for 28, making a total of 41 for both innings.
Kiama had only six notches to get to win, which were soon placed to their account by H Fredericks and E Brook. The game terminated about four o'clock in favour of Kiama with eight wickets to spare. the following is the score:-
After the match several private games were played, which occupied the time till dinner hour. The hours from four till six having at length dragged their slow length along, some thirty-one or thirty-two assembled at Hosts Lang's to partake of the dinner.
THE DINNER
Everything that could tend to the comfort and convenience of the guests was observable in the preparations made by the worthy host and hostess of the Gerringong Arms - the only drawback to the evening's enjoyment being the smallness of the room; but this was forgotten when the host had "wedged" each party into his allotted space. The dinner was an excellent one, and it was evident that neither pains or expense had been spared. Indeed, considering the limited accommodation at the command of Mr Lang, the manner in which he and his amiable wife conducted the affair deserves great praise, and we are sure that everyone present was well satisfied with the entertainment. After dinner, several toasts were drunk, and speeches made, song s sung and the company finally separated about ten o'clock. The utmost good feeling prevailed throughout the day and evening.

1860/61 Match 4 - 12/1/1861 : Britannia C.C vs Denison C.C (Gerringong)
Report
On Saturday, 12th instant, the Britannia and Denison Clubs met on the Point, Kiama, for the purpose of playing a friendly game of cricket - the consideration being a dinner at Adams'. The Britannia men went in first, and did not give up the bat till they had run up to the fine score of 83 for their first innings.
The rain which had been falling lightly for some time previous, now came down heavily. the Denison men, however, nothing daunted, went to the Wickets, and managed, after a very unpleasant innings, to score 42 - leaving Kiama 41 ahead.
Only two or three of the Britannia men had time to get their second innings by six o'clock, at which time the stumps were drawn by mutual consent, and the parties retired to Adams', both weary and wet.
The dinner passed off well; and it was determined that the match should be concluded on the following Monday afternoon.
The weather on Monday was all that could be wished; and between two and three o'clock the stumps were pitched, and the game commenced, the Britannias closing their second innings for 59, making a total of 142.
In their second innings, the Gerringong men struggled hard to bring their scoring paper up, but it was no use, the fates were dead against them - second innings amounted to only 38, making a total of 80; the Britannia club being the victor in one innings.
The return match will take place on Wednesday, 6th February.

1860/61 Match 3 - 1/1/1861 : Britannia C.C 1st XI vs Britannia C.C 2nd XI (Club Trial)
Report
On Tuesday last, New Year's Day, a match came off between two elevens of the Britannia Club, Kiama. The weather proved very favourable - in fact all that the most enthusiastic cricketer could have wished. The game was played on the usual practice ground, in the rear of the English Church. It would scarcely be fair to criticise the play closely, as the club can hardly be said to be yet fully fledged. With less than an existence of three months - composed for the most part of "raw material" - having had little and irregular practice, coupled with the many drawbacks which stand in the way of making anything of the kind "live", much less flourish, in Kiama - the new club is entitled to every allowance. Taking these disadvantages into consideration, the majority of the players acquitted themselves creditably on New Year's Day; and much praise is due Mr George Turner, to whose perserverance and disinterested exertions the cricket-loving community of Kiama are indebted for the "institution" which they now enjoy.
Being a general holiday, and lovely weather to boot (the latter rather a rarity here of late), many visitors were present from Jamberoo and Gerringong. the afternoon, too, tempted a large number of the Kiama ladies to the Point; and by three o'clock the ground presented quite a gay and picturesque appearance.
During the match Mr G. Turner and Mr T. D. Meares made two very fine catches, which the spectators acknowledged by rounds of applause. The batting of Messrs Atkinson, King and Weary was very good; by practicing a little more caution, and conquering the temptation to "slog", they will shortly be expert in the use of the willow.
At eleven o'clock, the wickets being pitched and everything in readiness, Messrs Tibby and Brettell opened the ball for the Second Eleven.
At eleven o'clock, the wickets being pitched and everything in readiness, Messrs Tibby and Brettell opened the ball for the Second Eleven.
At the conclusion of the game the players, accompanied by a few friends, repaired to the Steam packet Inn, and precisely at seven o'clock Mr Adams announced, to the great satisfaction we believe of everyone present, that dinner was on the table. It is scarcely necessary to state that ample justice was done by all present to a good dinner - that the ringing of knives and forks "discoursed most excellent music" for the space of a good hour - that toasts were drunk, songs sung, timid maiden speeches delivered, and best of all, that the company broke up about ten o'clock in an "orderly manner", well satisfied with their day's amusement.

1860/61 Match 2 - 10/11/1860 : Prince of Wales (Jamberoo) vs Lillywhites (Kiama)
Report
The return match between the Kiamese and Jamberoovians, which was commenced a week ago and interrupted by the weather, was resumed this day, with an intention apparently on both sides to do their best, and see the friendly contest brought to a definite and proper conclusion. The game was, however, abruptly terminated almost as soon as begun in consequence of a dispute regarding point of regulation which arose, as is maintained, in the following manner. Mr W. Miller, while taking his innings had just changed ground with his fellow batsman in consequence of a run having been obtained, when the bowler Mr. J. Anderson, before the striker had adjusted his position, proceeded to deliver another ball. Mr Miller cried that he could not play at it; but too late, so far as the delivery was concerned; and as the ball happened to take his wicket, the Kiama men, who certainly were not at the time in a position to forego any advantage, insisted on his leaving the wicket. As the point was not conceived by the umpire for Jamberoo, each party adhered to its own claim, and some warm expressions were exchanged.
The rules of the Albert Club were appealed to, and though not clear, as I believe, on the point at issue, they were without hesitation interpreted by the Kiama men in their own favour; and these gentlemen, without waiting till the warmth of the dispute might cool or any mediation be obtained, at once drew on their boots, mounted their steeds, and started for home; claiming to have won the match, and shouting along the road as if for an unquestioned triumph. It is probable that something will be said through the medium of your columns on the Kiama side of the question; and I therefore need not hesitate to state what the Jamberoovians profess to consider the real reason for their opponent’s abrupt departure, viz, that as the latter were at the time 40 or 50 notches behind, they were glad to find a pretext for putting an end to the contest. I am myself of course, perfectly indifferent between the parties; and no doubt some of the Kiama players will be quite able, if they think it worthwhile, to state the case in their own behalf. Controversy on the subject of cricket has lately occupied considerable space in the local journals.
The following is the score so far as the game was played:-

(TO THE EDITOR OF THE EXAMINER)
SIR, - You will oblige by giving publicity to the undermentioned facts relative to the late cricket match at Jamberoo. As your correspondent has brought it before the public, I think it necessary to vindicate our own cause, which may be easily comprehended by referring to the laws published by the Marylebone Club of England, for the year 1859.
Mr. W. Miller had just changed ground by a run. He then called for block, which was given by the umpire. The umpire then called “play”, and while the ball was being delivered by Mr. Anderson, the striker cried that he would not play at it; but his stumps were taken by the time he had finished his sentence. The umpire at the bowler’s wicket was appealed to, and his decision was “out”. The striker refused to give up his bat, thus disregarding the 12th and 36th rules, which are as follows:- “If either of the bails be bowled off, or if a stump be bowled out of the ground, the striker is out, and the umpires are to be the sole judges of fair or unfair play, and all disputes shall be determined by them, each at his own wicket; but in case of a catch which the umpire at the wicket bowled from cannot see sufficiently to decide upon, he may apply to the other umpire, whose opinion shall be conclusive”. Rule 36th clearly shows that the second umpire had no authority whatever in their case. At this stage of the affair, the umpire read the 38th rule which is as follows :- “They shall allow two minutes for each striker to come in, and ten minutes between each innings. When the umpire shall call “play”, the party refusing to play shall lose the match”. Now, had the former umpire, Mr A. Gordon, acted on this occasion, I am sure the match would have ended pleasantly; but the language of the substitute was too vile for any person of common decency to remain longer under than we did. And on these grounds we consider we are entitled to the match. With the 38th rule in our favour, the score of Jamberoo in the first innings is 76, and not 79, as stated in your last issue.
Yours faithfully,
G. TURNER

TO THE EDITOR OF THE KIAMA EXAMINER
SIR, - On perusing the last issue of your paper I find in it a letter signed G. Turner, junior, vindicating as he is pleased to term it their own cause; but in reality throwing the whole blame of the dispute upon my poor shoulders. Now, I would crave by your permission, Mr Editor, a small space in your columns for the following, and from Mr. turner a little more candor when he undertakes to make the public aware of how the dispute took place:-
The real facts are, I had just changed ground for a run, as Mr. Turner faithfully remarks, know also that I had just taken the bat from A. Hukins, who was caught out; being a new chum, as I might term it, and not knowing block at end, I had just went too. I asked my brother, who was co-batsman with me at the time, for block. The umpire, Mr D. King, very generously volunteered to give me one, which I accepted, and in giving me block he told me to shift my bat a little more to leg, remarking at the same time that was my middle stump, and proceeding to do as advised, and upon looking up after doing so for the umpire’s approval, I found the bowler, J. Anderson, just in the act of delivering the ball at me. I immediately remonstrated and said I would not play at it. It was utterly impossible for any person to place himself in position, let alone play before my stumps were filled. Now, Mr Editor, this is the dispute. Was I out fair or was I not? I would ask here, was there ever a precedent to this in the annals of cricket, for a bowler to place himself in such a humiliating and unmanly position as to deliver a ball at his opponent before he was ready to play at it. Mr Turner says the umpire called play. I distinctly deny hearing play called out. If I had heard play called there was not sufficient time between adjusting block and the actual delivery of the ball.
I would here ask any cricket player who has a love of fair play, if it was not a duty incumbent on the umpire to inquire whether all were ready previous to calling play, and more especially when a change had just taken place in the field; and also with the batsman at the wickets. Really, Mr Editor, it would have been more to their credit had they put me out fair and not have taken this unmanly point, and sticking to it as they have done like a drowning man would to a straw. Referring to the rules the 39th clause reads thus – They are not to order a striker out unless appealed to by the adversaries. Now Mr Turner and they all distinctly heard me ask our own umpire if he would give me out, I would give up my bat, but he would not. Mr Turner refers to the rules of the Marylebone Club, which does not decide a whit more in their favour. It plainly asserts that the umpires are sole judges of fair and unfair play, and that all disputes shall be determined by them. And had it not been for the uncalled-for interference of two of the players on the Kiama side the dispute would have been amicably settled and the match played out satisfactorily to both sides. Or had they acted with a little more consideration and not left so hastily, or had they used a little more discretion by endeavouring to obtain mediation or any other reference whatever whereby a reconciliation would have been effected, the game would have been renewed and played out with vigor and ended pleasantly. Whereas, by the course they adopted, leaving us in possession of the ground, both able and willing to play the game out, and galloping off, shouting and hallooing more like fanatics or escapes from Tarban Creek, than sane persons, and claiming at the op of their voices to have won the game. It led us to believe they were glad to find a pretext so opportunely turned up and so dexterously snatched at for putting an end to the contest. Really, Mr Editor, the appellation or the name of the club suits admirably (very) – the Lilly Whites. I can assure you, they showed the white feather with a vengeance.
Now, had I formed the remotest idea of the course they pursued, I would willingly gave up my bat, as I am quite confident the game was won by us without any additional score whatsoever; and if their intentions were really honest, or if a love of fair play was predominant among them, they had a course left open to them quite different to the one they took. Why did they not disqualify our umpire? The rules state, that with the consent of both parties the umpire can be changed; or except in case of a violation of the 42nd law, then either party can dismiss the transgressor. Now, Mr Editor, the above is my vindication in removing the blame from my shoulders, and I hope in your estimation and in the public’s I have succeeded.
I remain, Sir,
Your obedient,
