For the losers Awdry top-scored with 49 in their second innings. Overton took 5 wickets for 89 runs in Dorset's first innings and Mitchell took 5 wickets for 59 runs in Dorset's second innings.
Newman was absent from the Wiltshire side, having sustained an elbow injury in their previous match.
Dorset's Stone arrived shortly after their first innings closed:
Awdry sportingly offered to allow him to bat but Goodden would not take advantage of the offer.
Hurn developed tonsillitis and was confined to bed.
