In his first match, Surrey won the toss and elected to bat first, making 293 all out. Shooter bowled 22 overs during the innings, conceding 36 runs. In response, Nottinghamshire were dismissed for 109, with Shooter being dismissed for a duck by Ted Barratt. Forced to follow-on in their second-innings, Nottinghamshire were dismissed for 162, with Shooter once again dismissed by Barratt, this time for 5 runs. Surrey won the match by an innings and 22 runs.
