Ushaw Moor Cricket Club did battle against Durham Club and Ground in a one day single innings match. They lost both the toss and the match and this is recorded faithfully by the Cricket/ Archive Oracles. Just google - Ushaw Moor 1893 - or such like, and you will find the details; or click HERE ed PC
Ushaw Moor's batting order:
R Hope
W Harding
G Browning
C Smith
J Harding
J H Gallagher
J Hewitson
W Tennick
A Hindson
R McClay
W Hill
Only W Harding made an impression with the bat, scoring 65 of which seven were boundary shots for 4.
Ushaw Moor were all out for 121 and Durham surpassed that total with the loss of only three wickets. In the event Durham batted on and reached 166 for 7 at the close.
I'm pretty certain that R Hope was my great great grandfather Richard [1856 - 1921] and if I am right my grandfather Dickie Hope [1902 -1983] was his grandson.
