A gap of two years followed before his next appearance for Hampshire in 1882, against the
Marylebone Cricket Club. Two further appearances followed in 1884, against Sussex and
Somerset, before making two final first-class appearances in 1885 against Sussex and
Derbyshire.
With the loss of Hampshire's first-class status following the 1885 season, his first-class career came to an abrupt end; despite this, he continued to play
second-class matches for Hampshire until 1887. In seven first-class appearances, Andrews scored 236 runs at an
average of 21.45;
he made two half centuries, with a highest score of 62
not out against Sussex in 1884.
He occasionally played as a
wicket-keeper.
Andrews died at
Aldershot in February 1943.
