John Gordon Young (19 February 1901 – 20 March 1949) was a New Zealand cricketer who played first-class cricket for Canterbury from 1922 to 1924.[1]
A batsman, Young made his highest first-class score in his first match, when he scored 35 opening in the second innings against Auckland in 1921–22.[2] In a non-first-class match for Canterbury B against Hawke's Bay in January 1920 he scored 238 not out in about 280 minutes.[3] He was later an umpire, standing in three first-class matches in the 1930s and 1940s.[4]
He and his wife Violet had one son. Jack died in March 1949.[5]
