Aberdeenshire Cricket Club. Early official plain postcard with printed header for the Club’s offices in Aberdeen. Neatly handwritten message in ink from W. Kendall Burnett, Hon. Sec., dated 14th May 1888, addressed to the Secretary of Arbroath United Cricket Club. Burnett writes to enquire ‘at what hour you will commence play on Saturday 26th inst and at what hour you would desire luncheon’. Very nicely signed by Burnett. Horizontal fold, otherwise in good condition.
Under the guiding hand of Secretary W. Kendall Burnett and benefiting from the ownership of their own ground, the Club was able to attract top teams to Aberdeen including M.C.C. in 1876 and the South African tourists in 1901. They also pushed for the formation of the Scottish Counties Championship in 1902, and won the title the following year in 1903.
