Week Twenty-Eight: Saturday 28 September 1867
There was a rare defeat for the City of London Club today as the Old Westminsters moved into second place in the standings on their own by winning for the fourth week in a row. The game had been tied at 2-2 going into the eighth inning, but the Westminsters scored four times to earn an impressive victory over the champions.
Clapham Common suffered a disappointing defeat at the hands of Marylebone Regents, giving up two runs in the first inning and another in the seventh. Common could find nothing in reply and lost it 3-0.
Also failing to score were Angel Islington, who gave up runs in the sixth and seventh as they lost 2-0 to Kensington Victoria. Angel are now tied with Clapham for third place, as the teams try to finish as high as they can in the final standings.
