John Hall Joyce (5 December 1868 – 17 April 1938) was an English cricketer. Joyce was a right-handed batsman who bowled right-arm fast-medium. He was born at Blackfordby, Leicestershire.
Joyce made a single first-class appearance for Leicestershire against the Marylebone Cricket Club at Lord's in 1894.[1] The Marylebone Cricket Club made 124 in their first-innings, during which Joyce bowled 6 wicketless overs and took 2 catches. Leicestershire made 286 in their first-innings response, with Joyce scoring 18 runs before he was dismissed by Jack Mee. In the Marylebone Cricket Club's second-innings of 254, he took the wickets of Frederic Geeson and Francis Ramsay, finishing with figures of 2/33 from 8 overs. Leicestershire reached their victory target of 93 with 8 wickets in hand, meaning Joyce wasn't required to bat again.[2] This was his only major appearance for Leicestershire.
He died at Vence in France on 17 April 1938. His brothers, Francis and Ralph, both played first-class cricket.
