Richardson Cup 1923-1924
The tie between Edinburgh and Glasgow C.C. was replayed on Saturday, 26th April, at Glasgow C.C. The games were again very closely contested, and the first results were two draws, Neilson v Hives and Gibson v Page. Then Dr Macdonald secured the only win for Glasgow, but otherwise the later play went all against them, Sergeant, Lothian and Simpson scoring wins for Edinburgh, and thus deciding the issue. One game remained unfinished and in this Marshall had a decided advantage, but as a win could not affect the result, a draw was asked and conceded. Edinburgh has now won the Richardson cup eight times and Glasgow twelve times altogether.
[The first match was played on March 1st at Edinburgh CC, Alva Street. The result was 2½ each, with 2 games for adjudication. Both games were given as draws, the final match score being 3½ each. A. McGowan]
