The match between the two teams in July at Newport had also been drawn. On the first day, a train delay caused the late arrival of the Monmouthshire team, and play started late. For Monmouthshire, there were 9 fours in Tatham’s 69, 9 fours in Lloyd’s 57 and 1 six and 9 fours in Silverlock’s 50. For the home side, Orchard scored 60 and Sandford 51, which contained 8 fours. In the Devon second innings, P C Phillips took over the wicket-keeping gloves from Lloyd.
