For the second match against MCC, played at College Park, again GM Crothers and T.J. Macdonald cried off and were replaced by Goulding and, this time, J Ganly.
Included in this MCC team were the now familiar South African Test player, Morkel, and the New Zealand Test cricketer Roger Blunt. CD McIver, who had organised and played in this series since its revival in 1924, was making his last appearance.
The two teams at College Park
On the first day the bowlers seem to find a spot on what appeared to be an excellent wicket and scoring was low. In the afternoon the weather broke down and there were many stoppages for rain. In 70 minutes Edgar and Connell, making his debut, had 51 on the board. Connell was then bowled by Butterworth who had come on for Waddy. At lunch the score was 73-1. After lunch the remaining nine wickets fell in 80 minutes for 93 more runs. McVeagh got the top score with 38 before being very well held off a fierce return to Blunt. Shearer scored 30 and shaped well before Morkel caught and bowled him. Edgar, the opening bat,who never again played for Ireland, played very stylishly for his 32. Blunt came on quite late in the innings and took 4-33 with leg-spinners. Morkel, as usual, did well and took 5-65. In two hours the MCC lost five wickets for 88. Tremlett and Butterworth put on 59 for the first wicket. Then the advent of Boucher and Ingram brought a complete change. Boucher bowled Tremlett in his first over and, in the following over, he bowled Belle, still without a run conceded off him. Ingram bowled Butterworth for 31 and now three wickets went down for 60. In his third over Boucher caught and bowled Evans and, just before the end, he had Morkel caught by McVeagh. In eight overs Boucher had taken 4-16.
On the second day the balance of the game swung in favour of the MCC. Heavy rain had so affected the pitch that a new wicket had to be prepared before the game could start 40 minutes late. Conditions were very bad and several stoppages were necessary. The Irish bowlers were hampered by these conditions and only two wickets fell while 155 further runs were added. A seventh wicket stand by Blunt and Robinson was the feature of the day. The sixth wicket fell at 107 when Boucher had McIver caught. Then the next wicket added 137 runs and was unbroken at the close of play. For 3½ hours they defied the Irish bowlers. Blunt ended the day with 106 to his name while Robinson had compiled only 36. Both men gave chances, but Blunt's performance was a very fine one.
On the last day the weather was dull but no rain fell. Conditions continued to favour the batsmen. Robinson was bowled by Boucher for 39 when the score was 258. However Blunt carried his overnight 106 to 141 and was last out at 292, the score at which the last three wickets fell. He hit 11 fours. Boucher was the outstanding bowler taking 7-87 in 35 overs. Connell, Edgar and Ingram were out for 26 in Ireland's second innings and the position looked critical, but Shearer and McVeagh put on 57 from the next wicket. Shearer's 40 was as usual fast and stylish. Boucher stayed while 20 were added and when McVeagh and Ganly were together the arrears were wiped off. After this partnership of 56 James McDonald came in and this wicket added 1 more than the previous one. At 216 Waddy had McVeagh caught after the left-hander had scored 85 in two hours and 10 minutes. He had batted extremely well. Martin assisted his captain to add 43 for the eighth wicket. Macdonald was last out with 62 to his name, made in fairly brisk manner. Less than an hour remained and in that time the MCC lost four wickets for 53 runs. Boucher and Shortt bowled unchanged. The latter clean bowled his three victims, one of whom was Morkel who hit 37 out of 41 scored while he was at the wicket.
