Local cricket report notes Federals declared at 170 amid soaking conditions. Forbes Cricket Association junior match saw damp pitches, 38 wickets fell as captains and players from WC, Redenteck, Hodge Beary, and others starred. Bruton led a late surge with 38 and Capstone, while Purbes and Donnelly contributed. Postponed play and weather interruptions shaped a chaotic day as both sides pressed for advantage.
