First Innings
New South Wales won the toss on the final game of the season and decided to put their opponents in to bat first. Each of the six bowlers that tried their hand claimed at least one wicket, holding all but two batsmen to scores of 43 and under. VS Ranford made up for it though to help put up a fine score for Victoria.

Second Innings
MA Noble was the victim of a pair as he fell for a duck in both innings, but his team managed much better after going 19-2. The tailenders failed to really improve though and it looked like Victoria would be the ones to finally take the Sheffield Shield from New South Wales.

NSW 222 + 263
EF Waddy 80; CG Macartney 55
FA Tarrant 4-29; WW Armstrong 3-74
The first wicket did not fall until C McKenzie was caught behind for 32 and Victoria were well on their way to victory.
