With his leg break googly bowling, he took the wickets of Robert Scott and Joseph Comber in the Free Foresters first-innings, in addition to taking the wicket of Guy Jackson in their second-innings to finish with match figures of 3 for 88.[3] Eadon later served in the British Army during the Second World War, being commissioned as a second lieutenant in the Dorset Regiment in April 1940, with the service number of 126959.[4] He died at Westminster in November 1999.
