In spite of a solid first innings batting performance from William Newhall, the visitors only managed 93 runs.

Behind an 86 from Irish transplant James McDonogh, the visitors made 183 runs in their first innings.

The series concluded with another 2 day match on 19 February at Melbourne Park, Kingston.
