Longfield for the Club. It was a hard hit innings and I am told he did not give any notice. able chances, Haymes got over 30 and I am told that Alec Pearce was very unlucky to be given l.b.w. as the ball would almost certainly have gone over the wicket; how- ever, the Umpire didn't think so and it is all in the game!
