Reginald Ernest Thoy (12 May 1921 – 2 December 1993) was an English cricketer.[1] A right-handed batsman, he played two first-class matches in the 1950s.[2]

Biography[edit]

Born in Singapore in 1921,[2] Thoy's first recorded cricket was two matches for the Straits Settlements against the Federated Malay States in 1939 and 1940.[3]

In England after the war, he played a Minor Counties Championship match for the Kent Second XI against the Surrey Second XI in 1948,[4] though he never played for the first team. He later played two first-class matches for DR Jardine's XI against Oxford University in 1955 and 1957.[5]

He died in Maidstone, Kent in 1993,[2] though his obituary in the Wisden Cricketers' Almanack incorrectly gives his year of death as 1994.[6]
