About Hubert Rhys

Hubert Ralph John Rhys (31 August 1897 – 18 March 1970) was a Welsh cricketer. Rhys was a right-handed batsman. He was born at Aberdare, Glamorgan, and was educated at Shrewsbury School.

Rhys made his first-class debut for the Free Foresters against Cambridge University in 1929, making a century on debut with a score of 149 in the Free Foresters first-innings.
