The semi-final was contested in the morning, when Wright (Onehunga) beat Garry (Ponsonby), the scores being 33—9. Notwithstanding the discrepancy in the scores, the game was very keenly contested, but Wright's team was clearly superior, taking the game in general.

Wright had to fight an uphill game, all the players in front of him being outplaj-cd. Wright's driving and the good bowling of the Hamilton men were the feature of the game. Wright saved his side on several occasions, and there were no fewer than eight "dead" heads in the game, which resulted: Hamilton (Pilkington) » 24 Onehunga (Wright) 17
