Versus Petone, at Petone.
This game was played on the Petone Oval, on a batsman's wicket. Varsity's first inuings realised 205 (Barker 38, Harwood 33, Lewis 26, Stainton 23, Lusk 21, Joplin 18, Broad 15, and Bellhouse 14). Petone replied with a very patient innings for 87. (Cousins 3 for 30, Lusk 2 for 15, Stainton 2 for 25. and Harwood 1 for 12). Their second attempt, which was even more patient, realised 150. (Harwood 5 for 19, Joplin 3 for 30, Bellhouse 1 for 14). The runs necessary for a three pointer were secured at the cost of two wickets (Murray 14, Cousins 12, Bellhouse 10 not out.)
