Capel Cure was born in Kensington. [2] He was educated at Eton College [1] and Trinity College, Cambridge [1]
Capel Cure played just one game for Essex, in the 1929 season, of a drawn match against his alma mater Cambridge University. [3] Batting at number four, [3] Capel Cure was trapped leg-before wicket by Trevil Morgan in his first innings for a duck, [3] and scored just six runs in the second innings before being caught and bowled by Gordon Chandler. [3]
Bowling, he took 2–58 in the Essex first innings; [3] his wickets were of Tom Killick [3] (lbw, but only after he'd scored a double century) and George Kemp-Welch [3] (also lbw) in the Cambridge 1st innings. Cambridge did not complete their 2nd innings. [3]
Capel Cure's brother-in-law was Gerald Barry, [2] who played one first-class match for the Combined Services in 1922. [4]
