First Innings
New South Wales now has a regular opening partnership between HL Collins and W Bardsley and they continue to produce the goods to start another season. Both men had little trouble reaching their half-centuries before RJB Townsend was able to get them to hit the ball straight to third man and the wicket keeper for their dismissals. CG Macartney (11) and the duck of JM Taylor continued the same bowler's vein of good form but he would have to wait some time before claiming his fifth wicket: century maker TJE Andrews. HSTL Hendry also made a milestone score but only AF Kippax and WAS Oldfield further contributed to the score, both scoring 13.
NSW 338
TJE Andrews 106; HL Collins 73; W Bardsley 60; HSTL Hendry 58
RJB Townsend 5-78; HFT Heath 3-114
RJB Townsend carried over his performance with the ball to his time at the crease, but he was one of two men who was able to reach 50 and two others, JW Rymill (45) and NA Walsh (35) bettering the 21 of NL Williams. The wicket-takers had their moments in bunches. JD Scott dismissed the first four, CG Macartney, C Kelleway, and then AA Mailey taking two a piece all back-to-back.

Second Innings
The openers were both out after scoring 30+ but TJE Andrews continued to flourish, beating his previous innings total before a wonder catch at deep mid wicket finally put an end to that. RJB Townsend was only able to take the wicket of HL Collins, caught this time at square leg, but HFT Heath tore through the lower order to end the match with terrific numbers on his debut.
NSW 338 + 339
SA 274
TJE Andrews 118; AF Kippax 44
HFT Heath 6-90; AJ Ricardson 2-60
After his early exit for 10 runs at slip in the first innings EL Bowley and his opening partner showed a confidence at the crease that would take them to 157 before JD Scott once again removed them from play. The next partnership featured RJB Townsend once more and another batsmen that did not last long in his earlier attempt. After the fall of RJB Townsend, South Australia were 50 runs shy of victory with five wickets remaining, but NA Walsh (15), HFT Heath (0) and HM Fisher (0) were all dismissed at the hands of C Kelleway who seamed his side to a sudden turn around.
NSW 338 + 339
SA 274 + 371
RJB Townsend 89; AJ Richardson77; EL Bowley 75; JT Murray 52
C Kelleway 6-134; JD Scott 2-93
New South Wales win by thirty-two runs.
