Anthony Borrington

Anthony John Borrington (born 8 December 1948) is a former English cricketer who played for Derbyshire from 1971 to 1981.

Borrington was born at Spondon, Derbyshire. He began his career for Derbyshire in 1965 in the Derbyshire Second XI. His first-class debut came in the 1971 season. Borrington continued in the first team until 1974, but in 1975 played only one first-class game, having suffered in the middle-order. With a regular place in 1976, there was no upturn of fortunes, a trend which continued until Borrington's exit from the first team in 1980.

Borrington continued to represent the Derbyshire team in limited overs cricket well into the 1980 season. He played one match for the Derbyshire team which won the NatWest Trophy in the 1981 season, although he failed to score.

He was an opening batsman for the Derbyshire first team. He was a right-handed batsman and a right-arm leg-break bowler, and occasionally a wicket-keeper.

Borrington now works at Grace Dieu Manor preparatory school in Leicestershire as a geography teacher and deputy headmaster.

Borrington's son, Paul, signed a professional contract with Derbyshire in 2006.
