Brief profile of Tony Duncan by Dr.A.K.Hignell

Player:

Tony Duncan played twice for Glamorgan in 1934 whilst an undergraduate at Oxford University. The right-handed batsman had a fine batting record at Rugby School, and in 1933 he played for Lord`s Schools against The Rest. He subsequently played for Oxford University in 1935, but did not win a cricket Blue.

However, Duncan was an outstanding golfer and he duly became one the leading British amateur golfers either side of the Second World War, playing in the Walker Cup, and winning the Welsh Amateur Championships on four occasions between 1938 and 1954.
