This card comes from the Minor Counties Research Project - research is continuing on this scorecard which can be expected to change.
Devon won this return match by 6 wickets on the second day. The match between the two sides at Llanelly the previous week had also been won by Devon. For the winners, there were 13 fours in Carroll's 81 and 8 fours in Hooman's 51. For the losers, there were 12 fours in Longcroft's 73 and 4 fours in Evans's 52. In the Carmarthenshire first innings, Longcroft and J E Morgan added 101 runs for the ninth wicket. there is some doubt as to whether Devon declared their first innings closed as W Ashford was not at the ground at the start of play on the second morning -- Carmarthenshire fielded with only 10 players until Ashford arrived just before lunch.]
