Peter George Hatch (born 3 July 1938) is an English former first-class cricketer and British Army officer.
Hatch was born at Kirkee, in what was then British India. He was educated in England at Malvern College,[1] before attending the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst. He graduated from the Royal Military Academy in December 1958, entering into the Royal Engineers as a second lieutenant. He was promoted to the rank of lieutenant in December 1960. Hatch debuted in first-class cricket for the Combined Services cricket team against Surrey at The Oval in 1960, a season in which he also played against the touring South Africans at Portsmouth.[2]
He attended Queens' College at the University of Cambridge during his military service, graduating with a B.A. in 1963.[3] While at Cambridge, he played two first-class matches for the Free Foresters in 1961.[2] He was the secretary to the college cricket club in 1961 - 62, a position he relinquished upon his impending marriage.[4] In that same season, he played his final first-class match for the Combined Services against Northamptonshire.[2] Across five first-class matches, Hatch scored 60 runs with a high score of 15.[1] Shortly after obtaining his B.A., he was promoted to the rank of captain in December 1964. He gained his masters from Cambridge in 1967.[3] He retired from active military service in June 1968, having received a gratuity.
