This match was between two very unknown sides. Northallerton in the middle of empty North Yorkshire and Guisborough in a little corner of the North East coast.
The two sides met in front of a crowd of 38. Northallerton were batting first and managed to get 194 runs. This would be simple for Guisborough to beat which they did by claiming the 195 runs they needed. The result meant Northallerton were 13th (second bottom) with 56 points, 5 points clear of Thornaby at the bottom. Guisborough meanwhile went to the top now with 126 points and 18 points clear of Middlesbrough in 2nd.

Farndale Avenue is just off Boroughbridge road in the south of Northallerton. The ground has parking for about 75 and there is space along the roads outside.
The North end of the ground holds the pavillion which is two storeys, the top balcony holds the batting team. Below, the overhanging balcony provides small cover for about 19 with park benches. The East end is grass standing with a couple of benches. The South end consists of several benches and in the bottom West corner there is a wooden score box. In the West end there are a dozen benches plus grass standing.
