Rice, was the best of the trundlers, taking eight for 39 runs. Rosco Lose to P.D.C. Rosco batted first and the opening men made quite a stand, adding a hallcentury before tho wickets started to fall, Edyvean and George being the only other men to hold out and bring the tally to 163.

With the fall of one of tho opening men's wickets, Elliott and Brace became acquainted and following their retirement, Clayton added another 43 before he followed the example.
