The two games between Kent and England were due to be played at Bromley Common on 29 June and at the Artillery Ground on 1 July, but the source reports that both matches "are deferred on account of the gentlemen subscribers being engaged at several Elections", referring to the Parliamentary Election of 1747. Single wicket matchesA single wicket cricket match between five players of Slindon against five of Dartford at the Artillery Ground on 6 July was the result of a challenge by Slindon, published in the Daily Advertiser on 29 June, to play "five of any parish in England, for their own Sum". The announcement advised interested parties: "If it is accepted of by any, they are desir'd to go to Mr Smith, who has Orders to make Stakes for them".[3][4] Matches followed against Bromley on 8 July and Hadlow on 10 and 15 July at the same ground. Another game resulting from Slindon's five-a-side challenge. Details unknown.[5] In early August, two single wicket matches at the Artillery Ground which were organised by the 2nd Duke of Richmond[5] and on 5 September a three-a-side game took place, again at the Artillery Ground, between teams led by Robert Colchin and Stephen Dingate.[3][6] Other eventsAccording to Rowland Bowen, cricket was first played in New York this year.[7] This is, however, doubted by Ian Maun, who states that "no contemporary record of cricket in New York is known before 1751".[8] First mentionsClubs and teamsPlayers- John Bell (Dartford/Kent)[3]
