This card comes from the Minor Counties Research Project - research is continuing on this scorecard which can be expected to change. Surrey 2nd XI won by ten wickets shortly after lunch on the second day, thus completing the double over Bedfordshire. The margin of victory had been the same when the two teams met at Bedford in June. For the winners, there were 5 fours in Thompson's 74 not out. Strudwick took 5 catches in the match to equal the Championship record, which had been achieved on 5 previous occasions. For the losers, Pollitt's 52 included 6 fours. The Bedfordshire total of 110 was the lowest with a batsman scoring fifty during the season.
