First Innings
With their eighth consecutive title in the bag, New South Wales came out to bat and looked comfortable throughout, but no one batsmen really excelled above all others. The late partnership of CG Macartney and A Cotter really kicked on during the second day, and set a decent total for their opponents to aim for.

NSW 492
A Cotter 85; CG Macartney 83; RA Duff 69; MA Noble 67; A Diamond 53
JV Saunders 4-113; WW Armstrong 3-143

The reply was lacking in self-belief and confidence as Victoria crashed to a poor score with only the opener registering a good score. They were promptly forced to follow on.

NSW 492
VIC 190
M Ellis 58
GL Garnsey 4-25; A Cotter 3-29

Second Innings
A much better performance saw PA McAlister show again that he is a leading batsman of his time. The rest of the order improved in places, but still lacked any hope of pushing New South Wales at all. They did however scrape beyond the required score, and left the champions a simple finish.

NSW 492
VIC 190 + 333
PA McAlister 146
CG Macartney 4-108; AJY Hopkins 3-25

A run each for the openers was all it took to claim another clean sweep on the year for New South Wales.

NSW 492 + 2-0
VIC 190 + 333
RA Duff 1*; VT Trumper 1*

New South Wales win by ten wickets
