Glamorgan won this return game, which was for Bancroft's benefit, by an innings at 1.10 pm on the second day.
The match at Newport the previous week had also been won by Glamorgan by an innings.
For the winners, there were 28 fours in Riches 183, which was the third highest innings of the season.
Bancroft's 78 included 12 fours.
In the Glamorgan innings, Whittington and Riches put on 106 runs for the first wicket, and Riches and Bancroft 145 for the fourth.
Osborne had the remarkable match bowling analysis of 9 wickets for just 14 runs.
On the first day, 503 runs were scored.
As the match was completed before lunch on the second day, a time limit match was played after lunch for Bancroft's benefit fund.
There are no reports in the match accounts in the local newspapers listed of the amount raised, though it is recorded that a collection on the first day yielded close to £3.
