He played Minor counties cricket for Suffolk from 1934 to 1939, making 40 appearances.[4] He captained Suffolk for five years till World War II, scoring 1,515 runs and taking 84 wickets.[5] While playing for Suffolk he appeared in a single first-class match for the Minor Counties against the touring New Zealanders.[1] In this match, he scored 30 runs in the Minor Counties first-innings, before being dismissed by Alby Roberts, while in their second-innings he was dismissed for 8 by Bill Carson.[6]
