Glamorgan v. Monmouthshire (play-off)

Glamorgan and Monmouthshire met in a play-off to decide who should meet Wiltshire. The two were chosen over Devon because Monmouthshire had a better average runs, and Glamorgan had played in the 1907 semi-finals.
Mr. F.E. Lacey awarded the right to meet Wiltshire to Glamorgan after the washout of the second day.
