Langholm Cricket Club held a contest between local teams for a silver cup in 1933, restricted to 25 overs. The teams in the final were the Artisans and Ford Mills. The Artisans won the cup by 2 runs. Their team included John Goodfellow. He won a special award for the highest individual score in the competition: 64.[6]
He was manager of the Newton St. Boswells branch of the British Linen Bank, however in 1932 he got a move to the branch in his hometown of Langholm. It was noted that Goodfellow had been in poor health and it was hoped that a move to his hometown would bring about a change in his health.[7]
