Reward for this victory, described by Buns as ‘somewhat inglorious’ was an away trip to Radley. Another glorious day, an even flatter wicket and opponents who included the finest all-rounder ever to play in the competition, and an inevitable run feast. For various reasons five changes were made, Lomax, Daniels Pugh, Hill-Wood and Gunnery replacing Wigan, Dunning (who never played in the competition again) Ingleby-Mackenzie, Wolfe-Murray and Dick Robins.

Henry Blofeld gave us a magnificent start and with he and Ian Lomax in full flow a competitive score seemed possible. But after what Henry in The Cricketer described as a ‘misunderstanding with his captain’ he was run out. Despite cameos from Tom Pugh, Peter Hill-Wood, in particular Cedric Gunnery, resplendent in his panama hat, all backed by a solid innings from Rupert Daniels, 234 for 5 was never going to be enough. The Radley openers raised 55 in nine overs and then came Dexter, Duff and defeat, with three overs to go.

Buns wrote ‘After a delightful day at Radley, where we were treated most kindly, we were badly beaten by the Rangers, led by E.R. Dexter. We did poorly and the less said the better”
