Frederick George Kitchener (5 July 1871 — 25 May 1948) was an English first-class cricketer.
The son of G. F. Kitchener, he was born in July 1871 at Hartley Row, Hampshire.[1] A right-arm fast-medium bowler, Kitchener had cricket trials with Hampshire in 1896,[2] with him making his debut in first-class cricket in that same season against Sussex at Southampton in the County Championship. He played first-class cricket for Hampshire intermittently until 1903, making thirteen appearances, the majority (10) of which came in 1896 and 1897.[3] Playing as a bowler in the Hampshire side, he took 28 wickets at an average of 22.50;[4] he took two five wicket hauls, with best figures of 6 for 59 against Derbyshire in 1896.[5]
As a professional cricketer, Kitchener also played club cricket in the Liverpool and District Cricket Competition for Sefton from 1902 to 1906,[6] before playing in Scotland for Grange Cricket Club in 1908 and 1909.[7] He later moved to East Boldon in County Durham, where he played for Boldon Cricket Club.[8] Kitchener died there in May 1948, aged 76.[8]
