‘Granville (Lee) Cricket Club Scores & Averages’ 1891-1902. A run of twelve issues of annual scores, averages and fixtures issued to members for seasons 1891 to 1902. The 1891 issue is in the form of a four page printed leaflet, the remainder published as booklets with paper wrappers. Padwick 2105-1 records eleven issues for 1892-1902, but not the 1891. Folds and minor annotations to the leaflet. All preserved in a modern red cloth slipcase. Some faults to the booklets with splitting to some spines and the odd cover detached, otherwise in good condition.
Originally formed in Blackheath in the 1860s, Granville C.C. moved to Lee in 1884. One player of note was Charles J.M. Godfrey who was employed by the club as a professional, and made eighteen first-class appearances for Oxford University and Sussex 1882-1895.
