With the bat, he ended Gloucestershire's first-innings unbeaten on 29, while in their second-innings he was dismissed for a single run by Charlie Llewellyn.[1] The following year he played his second and final first-class match for Gloucestershire, against Nottinghamshire in the 1905 County Championship.[2] In this match, he bowled 3 wicket-less overs and wasn't required to bat.[3]
