Ansley Victorias came to Coton “to conquer or to die.” They did the former, and, in point of merit, their performance ranks with Chapel End’s conquest of Nuneaton Mutuals. (same day) Both teams were strong. Coton went to pieces before the deliveries of the Ansley trundlers, and were all out for 25. Only W. Hall, J. Lee, and W Clews did any scoring, the other eight batsmen retiring with nothing to their credit. The “lion” of the afternoon, was, undoubtedly, P. Greenough, who showed that he can play cricket quite as successfully as he can entertain an audience at the Ansley Hall Social Club. He made 24 runs, and in two overs with the ball captured two wickets for a single run. I. Jones contributed a nice not-out innings of 18, and Captain J. H. Phillips is deserving of all praise for his bowling. The analysis comes out thus: -
J. H. Phillips, 11 overs, 7 maidens, 5 runs, 4 wickets
T Armstrong, 13 overs, 7 maidens, 10 runs, 2 wickets
P Greenough, 2 overs, 1 maiden, 1 run, 2 wickets
The worthy Vicar of Ansley (Rev. C. Heaton) was batting in promising form when he succumbed to the Coton captain. Score:-

Presumably Lee should be Lea, or vice versa.

At Nuneaton on Saturday. The home team were assisted by W. Summerfield (formerly a prominent member of the town clubs of Nuneaton and Atherstone). Ansley made 39, which included 13 by T. Armstrong; and the only extra recorded by them was a leg-bye. Nuneaton made a poor start, A. Andrews being bowled before a run was scored. T Phillips played a nice not-out innings of 19, and T. Wright was next in order with 10. Nuneaton won by 9 runs. A Brownson had five wickets for 12 runs, and W Summerfield four for 7. Ansley did not concede one extra.

Ansley Victoria v Chilvers Coton
On the ground of the first named. Ansley batted first, the Rev. Charles Heaton and J Armstrong opening well, against the bowling of W. Hall and W. Holmes. Fifteen runs were scored for the first wicket; four down for 27, and the last five wickets added 16 runs. Coton appear to have made a mistake, in W. Lambourne not bowling at the commencement; for, whereas the first pair of trundlers, W. Hall and W. Holmes, had only one wicket between them for 31 runs, W Lambourne and J Bucknall captured 9 for 17. The Coton bowlers performed as follows: - W. Lambourne: 14 overs, 6 maidens, 12 runs, 7 wickets: J. Bucknall: 4 overs, 2 maidens, 5 runs, 2 wickets: W. Hall: 13 overs, 3 maidens, 16 runs, 1 wicket: W. Holmes: 4 overs, 1 maiden, 15 runs, 0 wicket. Coton made a poor start the first wicket falling at 6, and the 5th at 25. Then, with Sheffield and his captain (W. Lambourne) together, the match seemed to be a sure thing for the Nuneaton suburban men; for, with half their wickets in hand, they required only seven runs in order to achieve a victory. Both the batsmen who had made the stand of the day were bowled by Jones, and after this J. H. Phillips soon put an end to the chapter, bowling the last three men, who added but a couple of runs, one of which was a bye. Thus, did Victoria pull out of the fire a game that, at one time, appeared a certain thing for Coton. W. Lambourne came out as the best performer on the Coton side; and J. H. Phillips, I. Jones and T. Armstrong achieved distinction as Ansley players. Score: -
