B Sutcliffe and GO Rabone put on 124 for the first wicket in the JH Phillipps' XI second innings
Wellington were given 103 minutes to score 152 for the outright win but after losing 2 quick wickets they gave up the chase and played out time
This match should have been first-class (in fact Donnelly, who lived in Australia, came over with that assurance) but the match was downgraded by the NZCC after the event
