This card comes from the Minor Counties Research Project - research is continuing on this scorecard which can be expected to change.
Yorkshire 2nd XI won this return match at 6.15 pm on the second day by six wickets.
After enforcing the follow-on, the visitors need 110 runs in their second inning and won with 15 minutes to spare.
On the second day, rain during the luncheon interval delayed the start until 2.45 pm.
The game between the two sides at Barnsley in July had also been won by Yorkshire 2nd XI.
For the winners, there were 9 fours in Grimshaw's 94 and 11 fours in debutant Robinson's 85.
In the Yorkshire first innings, these two batsmen added 136 runs for the second wicket.
Oyston took 9 wickets in the match for 121 runs.
For the home team, Barnes's two innings of 76 not out and 57 contained 6 fours and 2 fours respectively.
Beddows's 58 not out included 5 fours and Bourne's 50 contained 8 fours.
Staffordshire were weakened because Barnes was still suffering from the after-affects of a strained side, and Brown and Hollowood were absent injured.
