Notes
--> GD Alabaster completed a hat-trick in the Dunedin Metropolitan second innings (LR Pearson, BD Milburn, B Andrews)

---

Rain delayed the start of the match by 65 minutes on the first day
MG Webb suffered a wrist injury on the first day and was advised to rest on the second day rather than batting
Because this was a trial to select the Otago Plunket Shield team the combined team included 4 Dunedin Metropolitan players (Hutchison, Lees, Maxwell, Ross) along with 1 player from Central Otago (McSkimming), 1 from North Otago (McKenzie) and 6 from Southland (Alabaster, Hollands, Nicholson, O'Connor, Roy, Thomson)
