Brief profile of Harry Tomlinson
by Dr.A.K.Hignell
Harry Tomlinson, a forceful left-handed batsman and off-spin bowler, was a professional with Briton Ferry Town and Briton Ferry Steel after the Great War, and in 1920 he made his Minor County debut on his home wicket when Monmouthshire played at the Town ground.
Later in the summer, Tomlinson struck 73 against Carmarthenshire at Llanelli, and he made 8 first-class appearances for Glamorgan between 1921 and 1923. However, he failed to make an impact in Championship cricket, and did not score a half century in 16 innings.
