Cricket:
Ushaw Moor got a shock on Wednesday evening when they lost at home to lowly Lands CC. Following the defeat at Etherley this further defeat practically puts them out of the running for the league championship. In thirty overs Ushaw Moor made 94 for 7, McEleavey and Thompson each contributed 20 runs. Lands made the winning hit with the fourth ball of the last over. McDermott took three wickets for 22 runs and Luke two wickets for ten.
Meanwhile the Bearpark C C team was looking forward to playing Oakenshaw at Eppleton Colliery Welfare ground. The prize they were after was the Echo and Sports Despatch Cup.
New Brancepeth Women's Institute:
A guest speaker gave a talk entitled 'This is your life'.
Miss Smith [a relation of a school pal of mine?] gave an interesting report of the annual meeting in London.
The competition for the prettiest wall placque was won by Mrs Humm.
Silence was observed in memory of a former member Mrs A M Johnson [relation of Jack Johnson?]
The Door prize was won by Mrs Humm [clearly a lucky time for Mrs Humm!] I wonder whether her stated name was a typo, that is, was her name actually Hume? Maybe not.

A quick bit of research indicated that the name Humm stands.
ReplyDeleteThat would be Freda Humm nee Brittain. Freda had a daughter Margaret. Fredas Mam and Dad (Fred Brittain) lived in Woodbine Terrace at the bottom of Harvey Steet. Fred Brittain used to shovel our coal into the coal house when we lived at 29 Harvey Street.
