| ? July | Duke of Richmond's XI v Mr Edward Stead's XI | Penshurst Park | Mr Edward Stead's XI won? | |
| early August | Mr Edward Stead's XI v Sir William Gage's XI | Penshurst Park | Mr Edward Stead's XI won | |

The results of the first two games above are surmised from the report of this game at Penshurst, which states that the victory of Mr Stead's XI over Sir William Gage's XI was "the third time this summer that the Kent men have been too expert for those of Sussex". In the Stead v Gage game, it seems that Kent won the game although Sussex needed just 7 in their second innings. The report clearly infers that the teams selected by Richmond, Gage and Stead were representative of the respective counties. |

Famous quotes containing the word matches:
“That matches are made in heaven, may be, but my wife would have been just the wife for Peter the Great, or Peter Piper. How would she have set in order that huge littered empire of the one, and with indefatigable painstaking picked the peck of pickled peppers for the other.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
“But, most of all, the Great Society is not a safe harbor, a resting place, a final objective, a finished work. It is a challenge constantly renewed, beckoning us toward a destiny where the meaning of our lives matches the marvelous products of our labor.”
—Lyndon Baines Johnson (1908–1973)
“No phallic hero, no matter what he does to himself or to another to prove his courage, ever matches the solitary, existential courage of the woman who gives birth.”
—Andrea Dworkin (b. 1946)
