, but did not reappear in the following season.
Goodwin was a left-handed batsman who played 16 innings in 8 matches with top score of 53 and an average of 14.93. He was a slow left-arm orthodox bowler and took a total of 7 wickets at an average of 29.28 and a best performance of 4-25.
Goodwin's brother, Harry, four and a half years his junior, played Minor Counties cricket for Staffordshire for three years.
