Two rare and early cricket


scorecards for the Grand Cricket Matches at Canterbury in 1866 and 1867,


mounted side-by-side in a picture frame, both fixtures being for North v South of The Thames, both printed by S. Hyde of Canterbury, 28 by 37cm., 11 by 14 1/2in.


86 A rare and early cricket match advertisement poster dated 1842, for the Kent Club’s Grand Cricket Match Kent v England commencing 1 August 1842 played on the Beverley Ground, Canterbury, printed by the Kentish Observer, Canterbury, 38 by 25.5cm., 15 by 10in.


This was a four-day match played 1-4 August 1842. The Kent XI batted first and posted 278 with Fuller Pilch top-scoring but falling two runs short of a century. F W Lillywhite took five wickets for England. Fine bowling by Billy Hillyer who took six English wickets gave his Kent team a 12 run first innings lead. Kent’s 2nd innings, however, was disastrous. The hosts were dismissed for just 44 runs with F W Lillywhite taking his match wickets haul to 11. England achieved their target for the loss of just one wicket. £300 - 500


The 1866 match is interesting in that all three of the Grace brothers featured in the South of the Thames XI, with W.G. Grace managing only a duck and 6 runs. £400 - 500

scorecards, three pre-wars comprising Worcestershire v South Africans 1935 and two Leicestershire county matches from 1938, otherwise a post-war collection dating from the late 1940s onwards, mostly for Lord’s and The Oval, at county & one day level, also tour matches, Tests and other games played at the grounds, some other content including Worcestershire, Kent and Sussex scorecards, the lot also including a few Cricketer magazines etc. £300 - 500
