He maintained form over the next three years and made his top score of 120 against Essex in the 1929 season when he partnered Harry Storer who made 209 to put on 322 for the first wicket.As of 2009, this remains the record first-wicket stand for Derbyshire. In the 1930 season, which was his last, he played fewer matches and his average was down to 9.69
