David Anthony Ashworth (born 18 July 1944) is an English former cricketer. He played seven first-class matches for Oxford University Cricket Club in 1966 and 1967.[1]
Educated at Uppingham School, Ashworth made two Second XI appearances for Middlesex in 1963,[2] before studying law at St Edmund Hall, Oxford.[3] In May 1966 he scored 120 playing for Free Foresters against Oxford University, prompting the University to give him a first-class debut against Middlesex a day later.[4] He made three appearances over the following fortnight and the following April played three further matches against county sides.[5] In his penultimate game he recorded his only first-class fifty in making 67 against Surrey.[6]
Ashworth played for Uppingham Rovers in The Cricketer Cup from 1968 to 1993,[7] this included captaining the side in the 1979 final against Old Tonbridgians[8] and taking 8/42 with his off-spin against St Edward's Martyrs in 1991.[9]
A keen golfer,[3] he was Director of Richmond Golf Club from 2017 to 2023.[10]
