Thomas Christopher Williams (13 December 1908 – 14 August 1982) was an Irish first-class cricketer.
Williams was born at Dublin in December 1908, where he was educated in the city at Synge Street CBS.[1] Initially playing his club cricket for Pembroke,[1] Williams debuted for Ireland in a minor match against the Marylebone Cricket Club in 1937.[2] He later made a single appearance in first-class cricket for Ireland against Scotland at Dublin in 1939.[3] Batting twice in the match, Williams scored 23 runs in Ireland's first-innings, before he was dismissed by William Laidlaw; in their second-innings he was dismissed by William Dippie for 2 runs.[4] He also took a single wicket during the match, dismissing John Farquhar in Scotland's first-innings, with match figures of 1/50.[4] He was employed by Bulmers Irish Cider, with his work commitments necessitating a move from Dublin to Clonmel in County Tipperary, where he played club cricket for Cahir Park Cricket Club.[1] He died at Clonmel in August 1982.[1]
