This card comes from the Minor Counties Research Project - research is continuing on this scorecard which can be expected to change.
This return match was left drawn with Norfolk winning on the first innings. The match earlier in the season had also been left drawn, but with Hertfordshire winning on the first innings.
Hertfordshire narrowly avoided the follow on and were eventually set 313 to win in what turned out to be 74 overs.
They finished 39 runs short with 2 wickets remaining; if 45 minutes play had not been lost to rain on the first day an outright result might have been achieved.
For the hosts there were 7 fours in Popham's 86 and 1 six and 11 fours in M Falcon's 93.
Fulcher took 3 catches in the match.
For the visitors there were 9 fours in Titchmarsh's 59, 12 fours in Etheridge's 92, and Household scored an unbeaten 53.
Etheridge and Titchmarsh put on 107 runs for the second wicket in Hertfordshire's second innings; the latter also took 3 catches in Norfolk's second innings and 4 in the match.
NJ Cox took 7 wickets for 86 runs in Norfolk's first innings.
