The encounter between the two sides at Jesmond in June had been won by Northumberland. The heavy rains on Sunday did not prevent a prompt start being made to this match, but as it progressed the pitch increasingly gave help to the bowlers. For the winners, Morris took 12 wickets in the match for 106 runs, including 9 for 51 in the Northumberland second innings. For the losers, Milne took 10 wickets in the match for 118 runs. Richardson was the only batsman to reach 50, an innings that contained 7 fours.
