This card comes from the Minor Counties Research Project - research is continuing on this scorecard which can be expected to change.
Staffordshire won this return match by an innings and 136 runs on the second day. The earlier match at Gravesend in July had been won by Kent 2nd XI.
For Staffordshire Barnes scored 58 which contained 1 six and 3 fours, he also took 10 wickets in the match for 25 runs including 6 for 13 in the Kent first innings. Wilson took 5 wickets for 14 runs in the Kent second innings. For the losers Freeman took 7 wickets for 55 runs in the Staffordshire innings. Kent were in a little difficulty owning to the war, Lowe having been called away suddenly to join the colours as a reservist and W H Ashdown been telegraphed for, but had not arrived, and so Kent played with only 10 to bat in their first innings.
