Coward was outstanding with his wicket-keeping while Piper hit a glorious six into the bowling greens in his knock of 29. G. N. Manley showed up well for the Recs attack. this time was fifteen ahead of his opposite number, which margin he had increased by the end of play to 16, the greatest margin of the match. A. D. Denton, although he did not finish a winner, collected a 5 at the 3rd and a 4 at the 13th.
