This card comes from the Minor Counties Research Project - research is continuing on this scorecard which can be expected to change.
This rain-interrupted return match was drawn with no decision on first innings. Devon had won the game played at Exeter the previous fortnight. Overnight rain delayed the start on the first day until 2.00 pm and on the second until noon. There were two rain interruptions on the second day. For Devon, there were 2 fours in Brutton's 96 and 2 fours in Light's 64. In the Devon innings, Brutton and Light put on 134 runs for the fourth wicket. It was the second highest partnership for that wicket during the season.
[Missing: Umpires; in Devon innings boundaries in Brutton's 96; who bowled 2 no balls as Devon scorebook has Greenhill bowling 2 and Battrick 1 adding incorrectly to 3 not 2.]
