First Innings
Victoria had ball in hand through two days of play and were still unable to bowl out the side. New South Wales declared at the end of the second day with a commanding score under their belts. An early wicket only brought about the start of things to come with a 112 run partnership between C Kelleway and the highest scorer of the match CG Macartney. Some average scores followed before another century came near the bottom of the order. RJA Massie ended the innings unbeaten, one run shy of his half century.

NSW 568-9

No centuries on the other side of contest and only EV Carroll was able to reach his fifty. Victoria were all out just after lunch on day four still well behind their opponents and were forced to follow on. BJ Folkard went from century-maker with the bat to five-wicket taker with ball.

NSW 568-9

EV Carroll 86; RL Park 47

Second Innings
New South Wales had the away team on the ropes but let them off the hook of an inning defeat. A pair of half-centuries this time helped get them past the required total to keep the match going but they only had a single-digit lead. Another five-wicket haul for one of the NSW bowlers helped to highlight once again how dominant New South Wales have been this season.


NSW 568-9
VIC 322 + 254
WI Sewart 62; FA Baring 52
C Kelleway 5-55; RJA Massie 2-77

With six runs out of the nine needed up on the board a sudden flurry of wickets stunned New south Wales before the finally took victory after five overs. J Ryder claimed HL Collins for lbw before bowling C Kelleway and, at the other end, WW Armstrong caught CG Macartney for a duck,
