Captain Joseph Edward Lynch (born 26 April 1880 in Monkstown, County Dublin, Ireland; died 25 September 1915 in Loos, France) was an Irish cricketer.[1] A right-handed batsman and right-arm medium-fast bowler,[2] he played twice for the Ireland cricket team in September 1909.[3]
His first match for Ireland was against "All New York" on Staten Island. He did not score a run in the match as Ireland won by an innings.[2] In his second match, also his only first-class match,[4] he played against Philadelphia, and was the tenth victim of Bart King in the Irish first innings. He did not play for Ireland again.
Lynch was a British Army officer who first commissioned into the Royal Irish Fusiliers, and during World War I rose to be a captain in the 10th West Yorkshire Regiment. He was killed during the Battle of Loos on 25 September 1915.[2]
