This publication is an account of a cricket match which took place in Dalton in Furness on 30 August 1934, to celebrate the jubilee of Dalton Cricket Club. It first came to the author’s attention thanks to the purchase of a postcard relating to the match and the realisation that seated on the front row, alongside many noted Lancashire County cricketers, was the conspicuous figure of the renowned batsman George Headley. His fellow West Indian Learie Constantine was originally due to have taken part in the match but he was unavoidably absent; he was the club professional at Nelson in the Lancashire League and they were due to play against East Lancashire in a timeless, single innings Worsley Cup Final match, and one of the day’s play clashed with the match at Dalton. Headley, who was himself engaged as professional at Haslingden in the Lancashire League, duly took Constantine’s place in TA Higson’s Lancashire County XI.
