The match between the two sides at Cardiff in June had been won by Monmouthshire. On the first day rain stopped play after only 3 runs had been scored.

For the home team, there were 8 fours in E S Phillips’s 51 not out. For Glamorgan, Bancroft’s 44 not out in the Glamorgan second innings contained 6 fours.
