Week Fifteen: Saturday 29 June 1867
The season has now reached its halfway point and the defending champions City of London Club have the smallest of leads in the standings. They rebounded from last week's loss by comfortably overcoming Angel Islington, opening out a 3-0 lead after three innings and adding three more runs in the eighth to win it 6-1.
Clapham Common started the day level at the top but lost ground after their eight game winning run ended at the hands of the Old Westminsters. Common had turned around a 2-0 deficit in the fourth inning, but the Westminsters tied it in the sixth and then scored four in the seventh to take control.
It was a rare day of celebration for the struggling Marylebone Regents, who scored one in the sixth and one in the eighth to overturn a 2-1 deficit and defeat Kensington Victoria. The win is only the second of the season for the Regents, who remain well adrift in the standings.

Angel Islington 1-6 City of London Club
