1890-91 South African cricket season
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The 1890-91 South African cricket season was the third season of first-class cricket in South Africa. Four games played are recognised as having first-class status. The first three games were between Eastern Province, Western Province and Griqualand West in the Champion Bat Tournament. Western Province ended up the winners after defeating both their rivals. The last first-class match was for the Currie Cup, the second time that competition was contested and saw Kimberley defeat Transvaal to reverse the preceding season's result. There were no visiting first-class tours.
