Donough O'Brien (29 August 1879 – 23 September 1953) was a Welsh-born Irish cricketer.

Background

O'Brien was born in Holyhead, Anglesey, Wales. He was a cousin of the Gwynn brothers, a famous Irish cricket family.[1] Three of them also represented Ireland at cricket. His nephew, Luke White played for Middlesex.[2]

Playing career

A right-handed batsman[2], O'Brien made his first-class debut playing for Ireland against Cambridge University in May 1902.[3] This is his only match for Ireland.[1] He later played twice for the MCC against Oxford University, in 1906 and 1907.[3]

He died in Alexandria, Egypt[2])
