An interesting Cricket scorecard for a match between the Ladies of the City and County of Nottingham, and Veterans of the Crimea and Indian Mutiny. The scorecard for the ‘Final Test Match’ between 12 Ladies of the City and County of Nottingham vs. 22 Veterans of the Crimea and Indian Mutiny (including a Veteran of the Charge of the Light Brigade), played at the Trent Bridge Ground on Bank Holiday Monday 2 August 1909, printed on silk, and mounted in a glazed display frame, some light foxing, otherwise generally good condition and most interesting £60-£80 --- The 12 Ladies of Nottingham (along with their Captain, Mr. J. A. H. Green), scored 183 runs for all 12 ladies out; the 22 Veterans of the Crimea and the Indian Mutiny (along with their Captain, Mr. H. Seely Whitby), scored 74 runs for 16 men out, the match ending in a draw. Miss Johnson top scored for the Ladies with 79 runs, whilst Miss Pawlett took 7 wickets for 18 runs, including a ‘hat-trick’. Several of the Veterans were dismissed run-out, and aside from their Captain only Sergeant E. Murrell, late 9th Lancers, made it to double figures - he also returned bowling figures of 6 wickets for 29 runs, and without him the match would have been even more one-sided. Amongst the Veterans’ team was Trooper Matthew Holland, late 11th Hussars, who had charged with the Light Brigade at Balaklava over 50 years previously.
