Devon won this return match by ten wickets on the second day, thus reversing the defeat when the two teams met at Newport in July. For the victors, there were 7 fours, 6 threes and 18 twos in Francis's 117 not out, scored in 2ΒΌ
hours. He was involved in two major partnerships with Brutton putting on exactly 100 for the sixth wicket, which was the second highest partnership for that wicket during the season, and with Davies adding 73 for the ninth wicket, which was also the second highest partnership for that wicket during the season. Silverlock's 82 for Monmouthshire took 2 hours and 5 minutes and included 1 five and 2 fours. The match was played in 'glorious fine weather'.
