[1][2] Winter's single appearance in first-class cricket for Somerset came in the match against Kent at Tunbridge Wells in August 1884 and is, like that of Edward Stanley in Somerset's following match against Lancashire, the subject of some mystery.
In the contemporary report of the first day's play in the match in The Times newspaper, the day finished with Kent's first innings completed and Somerset at 30 for three wickets, and among the Somerset players yet to bat was John Challen.
[4] Winter made 0 in the second innings and also bowled a single (four-ball) over which went for nine runs.
The authoritative CricketArchive website in its record of this match makes no mention of Challen.
