Jeremy Neil Kemsley (28 September 1933 — 16 February 2018) was an Australian-born Scottish first-class cricketer and badminton player.
Kemsley was born at Melbourne in September 1933, but emigrated with his parents to Scotland as a child, where he was educated at Aberdeen Grammar School.[1] Kemsley made his debut for Scotland in a first-class cricket match against Ireland at Dublin in 1955, with him making eight first-class appearances up to 1957.[2] Kemsley scored 285 runs across these matches, at an average of 20.35;[3] his highest score of 103 came against the Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) at Aberdeen in 1957, with Kemsley having scored an unbeaten century against the MCC in a minor two-day match at Lord's the previous season.[1] His club cricket was for both Clydesdale Cricket Club in Glasgow and Grange Cricket Club in Edinburgh. Besides playing cricket, Kemsley represented Scotland in badminton.[1] By profession, he was an accountant.[4] He later moved to the island of Guernsey, where he died in February 2018.
