He was not alone in failing with the bat, Yorkshire were bowled out for 80 in their first innings, with John Tunniclife scoring 47 of them, as Frederick Bulletin claimed 8 for 44.
Ted Wainwright hit back for the White Rose county, taking 8 for 34, as Essex were skittled for 55 in return and Yorkshire, batting last on an easing pitch, ran out winners by seven wickets.
Kilburn died in September 1940 in Crosland Moor, Huddersfield.
