Mexborough and Swinton Times, August 24, 1938

” Times Cup” (Final Tie)

Wath 263  Rawmarsh 132

The match on Friday followed the cause foreshadowed by Thursday evening’s play and in the end Wath won comfortably by a margin of 131 runs. Deighton, Pell and Pearce shared the wickets

Rawmarsh never looked like getting on top of the bowling from the moment that Tommy Hakin survived an apparently justified appeal for a catch behind the wicket, and fell to the next ball he received from Deighton—who bowled as well as we have seen him

Trueman and Green alone offered resistance for a time, till the last pair—Greaves and Walsh— put up an unexpectedly prolonged stand for the last wicket.
