I was very lucky in been able to purchase this rare scorecard of
Yorkshire playing a friendly fixture against Doncaster Town
on 17 April 1926. Yorkshire had a full side out captained by
Major Lupton.
Winning the toss Yorkshire batted on an intermittent showery
day. Sutcliffe and Holmes against the bowling of Worthington
and Blount. Sutcliffe had made five boundaries and at the same
time reached his half century when he returned the next ball
in a surprisingly simple fashion to Walker ,who caught him out.
Holmes was applauded when he came out for 59 with a
catch by Gledhill.
Having declared with the score at 135 for four wickets.
Yorkshire set about their task in business like fashion but
Worthington made a splendid stand to reach the half century.
The match was declared drawn the Town finishing with
123 for six wickets.
