Elijah Carrington

Elijah Carrington (25 March 1914 – 19 November 1998) was an English cricketer who played for Derbyshire between 1934 and 1937.

On the annual visit of Derbyshire Cricket Club, coach Sam Cadman spotted the potential of Carrington and two other players and Carrington was taken onto the playing staff of the county side.

He made his first-class debut for Derbyshire during the 1934 season, in a match against Hampshire, when he took a catch and scored 13 in the first innings.

He averaged over 20 in his first season, hitting two half-centuries and made his top score of 80 against Worcestershire in 105 minutes.
