In June at The Oval Surrey had beaten Glamorgan by 4 wickets. Rain delayed the start of play on the second day until 2.00 pm. Glamorgan’s declaration at 4.05 pm on the second day left Surrey needing 184 to win. For the winners there were 10 fours in Riches’ unbeaten 116; his century took 1 hour and 50 minutes and was chanceless. He added 142 for the second wicket with Sweet- Escott. Hacker took ten wickets for 80 runs in the match, including 7 for 45 in the Surrey first innings. Creber took 6 wickets for 50 runs in the Surrey second innings, bowling unchanged. For Surrey Goatly top-scored with 43 whilst Myers took 4 wickets in the Glamorgan first innings.
