Wyddiall v. Mr T. Pledger's XI

A match between these teams was played on Saturday last, Wyddiall winning by an innings and 50 runs.

Mr Pledger's XI batted first, and were quickly dismissed for 27 runs, Cooze being the only batsman to reach double figures. Cooze, however, was rather lucky - being bowled with a no-ball the first ball he received.

Wyddiall very promptly passed their opponents score, and after making 100 runs for 6 wickets declared their innings closed.

With 73 runs to get to avoid an inning's defeat, Mr Pledger's XI fared even worse than at their first attempt, scoring only 23.

Score:

Accident

A nasty bend in Sandon Lane, which was discussed by the Council at their last meeting, was the scene of an accident early on Thursday morning in last week.

Whilst motor-cycling towards Buntingford, Mr T. Wornham, a farmer, of Lye End Farm, Sandon, collided with a Ford Car owned by Mr Warner, of Walkern.

The impact was so great that the frame of the motor-cycle was doubled up, and the radiator of the car damaged.

Mr Wornham was badly injured, being cut about the lower part of the face. He was removed to his home, where he is progressing favourably.
