Patrick Hassell Frederick Mermagen (8 May 1911, Colyton, Devon – 20 December 1984 Ipswich, Suffolk) was a public school teacher and cricketer who played eight first-class matches for Somerset in 1930. An outstanding batsman for Sherborne School, Mermagen was picked to play for the Public Schools side in the annual match against The Army at Lord's in August 1930. But after the Army had batted on the Wednesday, the rains set in and the match was abandoned. Somerset's three-day game with Essex was affected even earlier by the weather, and no play was possible on the Wednesday and the Thursday: when it finally began on the Friday, Mermagen had been inserted into the Somerset side and batted at No 4. Mermagen retained his place in the Somerset side for the rest of the season without making much impact: his highest score was only 35 and that came in his last innings, when Somerset scored 545 for nine declared against Hampshire at Taunton. He was a right-handed batsman and a right-arm fast-medium bowler, though he bowled only five overs in first-class cricket, without success. He went to Pembroke College, Cambridge in 1930 to study Mathematics (but did not play cricket for the university side). After six years as Assistant Master at Loretto School in Scotland, he served with the Royal Berkshire Regiment during WWII. After the war he was Assistant Master at Radley College (1940–1950) and then headmaster of Ipswich School (1950–1972). He died in 1984. He had married Nora James in 1934; they had three sons and a daughter. ==External links== Patrick Mermagen at www.cricketarchive.com〔(【引用サイトリンク】 Patrick Mermagen )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Patrick Mermagen」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
