For the winners, Turnbull took 11 wickets in the match for 97 runs. Burn’s 51 not out contained 1 six and 6 fours, an innings of two and a half hours. Hollowood made the highest score for the losers with 44 . When taking his third wicket in the Staffordshire second innings, Turnbull reached the career milestone of one hundred wickets in championship matches, the third Durham bowler to achieve this feat after J Gregory and W F Whitwell. [An alternative version of this score based on the Staffordshire scorebook, but not the Staffordshire newspapers, gives in the Staffordshire first innings Turnbull bowling 23.4 overs; in the Staffordshire second innings Hollowood scoring 35 runs, extras 11, Butler bowling 8 maidens and Clarke conceding 13 runs; and in the Durham second innings Brown bowling 2 maidens. The Durham scorebook version is preferred as the Staffordshire one was altered after the match was played, and is not supported by the Staffordshire newspapers.] [Missing: Complete.] Sources: Durham Scorebook; Staffordshire Scorebook; Newcastle Daily Journal 30,31 July; Newcastle Daily Leader 30,31 July; Staffordshire Advertiser 3 August; Staffordshire Sentinel 29, 30 July, 1 August.
