At one stage a Devon win looked likely, but Osborne was put on and caused a Devon collapse. The match in July at Cardiff had also been won by Glamorgan. For the winners, Osborne took 5 wickets for 21 runs in the second Devon innings. For the losers, Francis’s 53 included 5 fours. The run margin of victory was the smallest of the season.
