This card comes from the Minor Counties Research Project - research is continuing on this scorecard which can be expected to change.
This rain-affected return match was drawn, with Monmouthshire winning on first innings.
Monmouthshire had won the game between the two sides played at Reading earlier in the month.
There were two rain interruptions on the first day.
On the second day the start was delayed by half an hour after 'a new pitch had been prepared'.
The match was abandoned after rain prevented any play after lunch.
For Monmouthshire, P C Phillips scored 81.
