This card comes from the Minor Counties Research Project - research is continuing on this scorecard which can be expected to change.
This match was drawn with Kent 2nd XI winning on first innings. In the Staffordshire first innings Freeman bowled exceptionally well to finish with excellent figures of
9 for 36. He also took 4 for 38 in the second innings to give him match figures of 13 for 74. The Kent captain Troughton
scored 65 with 6 fours. For Staffordshire
Nichols scored 57 with 4 fours in their first innings, over half of the final total.
Rain stopped play at 6 o'clock on the first day and also prevented a finish on Tuesday, the match ending just before 4pm. This was the first use of this ground for a Championship match.
