The match between the two sides at The Oval the previous month had been won by Surrey 2 nd XI. Sadly, this was Trudgett’s benefit match. It was reported that the Suffolk Secretary, P P Cornell, would keep open a list so that those who had intended to contribute to Trudgett’s benefit fund by attending the match, could now do so through alternative means. Of the Suffolk team K D Murray would have made his debut for Suffolk. He did not appear in a later match.
