Notes
--> Bowling in the Wellington XI first innings adds 1 run under
--> Bowling in the Marlborough first innings adds 2 runs under
--> Wickets given to bowlers do not agree with batting scorecard for the Marlborough first innings
--> JR Bowers retired hurt in the Marlborough second innings having scored 2 (team had lost 2 wickets)
JFM Morrison and GD Ross put on 138 for the first wicket in the Wellington XI first innings
RW Smith and BW Cederwall added 95 (undefeated) for the sixth wicket in the Wellington XI first innings
The exact details of the dismissals of AT Sowman and GF Hawtin in the Marlborough first innings are not known because the continuation of the batting scorecard on the second day was not available in the newspaper source although Vaikvee was reported as taking the wickets of both batsmen
Bowers had to retire hurt when he top-edged a delivery from CJ Ross in to his face causing a nasty gash which required stitches
Marlborough were given 150 minutes to score 167 to win the match outright
