The match between the two sides at South Shields in July had been won by Durham. W F Whitwell top-scored in the match with 43. [An alternative version of this score, based on the Durham scorebook, in the Durham innings gives Dupuis conceding 23 runs and White 32;and for the Staffordshire innings Turnbull bowling 10.1 overs and 2 maidens, and Butler bowling 17 overs. The versions adopted are those which are supported by the published Durham and Staffordshire averages.] [Missing: Staffordshire Captain.] Sources: Staffordshire Scorebook; Durham Scorebook; Staffordshire Advertiser 17 August; Staffordshire Sentinel 15,17 August; Newcastle Daily Journal 16 August; The Sportsman 16 August.
