This card comes from the Minor Counties Research Project - research is continuing on this scorecard which can be expected to change.
Glamorgan won by an innings and I run on the second day after enforcing the follow-on. Carmarthenshire played this match with only ten men. For the winners, Whittington's 87 incluced 6 fours. For the visitors, Bowen scored 64 with 1 five and 9 fours. This was the first use of this ground for a championship match.
