‘Sussex v. Cambridge University’ 1892. Early original double sided scorecard with incomplete printed scores for the match played at The County Ground, Hove, 16th- 18th June 1892. In the previous two seasons this fixture produced record breaking results, however this match was a more sedate affair. The scorecard depicts Sussex’s first complete innings in which they scored 170, Billy Newham top scorer with 62 and Cambridge University’s Edward Streatfeild taking 6/55. Cambridge went on to reply with 184, Ledger Hill making 40. Sussex were then dismissed cheaply in their second innings for 82, George Brann highest with 14, F.S. Jackson taking 5/25, and Streatfeild taking 4/30 (ten wickets in the match). Cambridge lost four wickets chasing down the total, ending 70/4 to win by six wickets, with opener Robert Douglas unbeaten on 38. Printed by Crowhurst of Brighton. 5”x7.5”. Local advertising to verso. Faint pencil annotations, minor foxing and age toning, otherwise in good/ very good condition.
