Cyril Francis Stewart Buckley (21 February 1905 - 11 June 1974) was an English first-class cricketer.
The son of Brigadier-General Basil Thorold Buckley and his wife, Emmeline Louise Edwards,[1] he was born at Chelsea and was educated at Eton College.[2] He began minor counties cricket for Berkshire in 1924, debuting against Cornwall.[3] He played minor counties cricket for Berkshire until 1935, making a total of 39 appearances in the Minor Counties Championship.[3] He played first-class cricket on three occasions for HDG Leveson Gower's XI in 1934, 1935 and 1936, all against Oxford University at Reigate.[4] He scored 53 runs across five first-class innings, at an average of 10.60.[5] 50 of those runs came in one innings during the 1934 match.[6]
Buckley married Audrey Burmester, daughter of Rudolf Miles Burmester and Margery Gladys née Lloyd, in December 1928, with the couple having a son and a daughter.[1] He died at Chelsea in June 1974 as the result of an accident.[2] His great-uncle, Alfred Buckley, also played first-class cricket.
