The game between the two teams at Cardiff in July had been drawn. For the winners, Russell took 10 wickets in the match for 70 runs. For Devon, the 5 catches held by Sandford in the match were the most by a fielder during the season, a feat equalled by two others. Aston was unable to bowl on the second day due to a strained back.
