Lyons made a single first-class appearance for Surrey against Nottinghamshire in 1880 at The Oval.[1] Nottinghamshire won the toss and elected to bat, making 266 all out.

Lyons was dismissed in the innings for a duck by Fred Morley. Forced to follow-on in their second-innings, Surrey were dismissed for 185, with Lyons scoring 8 runs before he was dismissed by Billy Barnes.
