This card comes from the Minor Counties Research Project - research is continuing on this scorecard which can be expected to change.
Staffordshire won this match by ten wickets on the second day. For the winners, Barnes took 11 wickets in the match for 58 runs. Hollowood top-scored in the match with 39. No play was possible on the first day before 3.00 pm because of rain. Immediately after Mee hit the winning run for Staffordshire, a thunderstorm broke over the ground which would have ruled out any further play in the match.
[Missing: In Lincolnshire second innings fall of ninth wicket;precise time completed.]
