Sean Martin Fitzgerald (born August 21, 1962) is a former English cricketer. Fitzgerald was a right-handed batsman who primarily played as a wicketkeeper. A technically brilliant batter and wicket keeper, he would also prove to be a very able off spinner in his latter stages of his club career.
Fitzgerald made his debut for Dorset in the 1989 Minor Counties Championship against Berkshire. From 1989 to 1992 Fitzgerald represented Dorset in 18 Minor Counties matches, with his final match coming against Wales Minor Counties.
Fitzgerald also played a single List-A cricket match for Dorset in the 1st round of the 1990 NatWest Trophy against Glamorgan. He scored 2 runs and made 2 stumpings in the match.
Fitzgerald still plays in the Dorset Premier League for Dorchester CC where he is also the head coach. He is also a coach of the Wessex Cricket School, although that has dropped in standard since his youngest son left after captaining their side for his last year. Fitzgerald is now an established member of the Dorset over 50's side and contributed a magnificent 110no against Surrey on Thursday the 20th of September 2012.
