    1. [ENG-WESTMORLAND] PENRITH HERALD, JUNE 13, 1874 / CRICKET MATCH AT COCKERMOUTH.

    3. CRICKET MATCH AT COCKERMOUTH. Eleven of the Penrith United Beacon Cricket Club left by train on Saturday to test their skill and agility against the "wielders of the willow" upon the banks of the Derwent, and returned victorious. Penrith won the "toss", and sent their opponents to the wickets to counteract as far as possible the onslaught of RAY and WAINWRIGHT, the former of whom bowled with great precision and judgment. ROBERTSHAW, as wicket-keeper, and R. LONG, as long-stop, had arduous duties to perform, on account of the rapidity of the bowling, but they did their duty well. On the Cockermouth side, CLIFT, MARSHALL, and GREENHOW made some splendid work in the attack, but the defence proved too effective for execution, and in proof of this we may state that a splendid hit was made by ALTHAM for four runs, and WAINWRIGHT sent the ball on one occasion far beyond the boundary. The wicket-keeping of GATE (from Wigton) was greatly admired and the fielding of both elevens was excellent. MR. EDWARDS acted as umpire for Cockermouth, and MR. W. JAMESON for Penrith. The game was decided by the first innings, which stood as follows: - Penrith, 76; Cockermouth, 50. ________________ barb, ontario, canada.
