Notes
--> AA Radonich retired hurt in the Thames Valley second innings having scored 30 (team had lost 1 wickets) - he returned at the fall of the 4th wicket

In the King Country first innings D Jones, JF Jackson and G Howie were all caught by O'Neil but it is not known which O'Neil took the catches
RJ Griffiths and JF Jackson added 68 runs for the fifth wicket in the King Country second innings
Unfortunately the rain arrived during the afternoon session on the second day and ruined what could have been an exciting finish to the match
