Career
Munden made three appearances in first-class cricket for Somerset in the 1908 season as a batsman. He scored 11 in each innings of the match against Kent at the Crabble Athletic Ground, Dover in July. But returning for two matches in a week in August, he scored just nine against Hampshire.

After the war, Munden returned to Gloucestershire, and remained there in general practice as a doctor until his death in 1952. He played no more first-class cricket, but turned out for amateur sides including the Gloucester Gypsies touring team and also captained Stroud Cricket Club.
