Robert William Quee (2 September 1877 – 25 February 1920) was a New Zealand cricketer who played first-class cricket for Wellington from 1899 to 1904.
William "Billy" Quee was a batsman who played for Midland in the Wellington competition. He was selected to play for Wellington in December 1899 after consistent batting and safe fielding in club cricket. [1] On his first-class debut against Canterbury he scored 31 and 51, top-scoring in Wellington's second innings when he played "very forcibly", but Canterbury won by one wicket. [2] [3]
He was unable to maintain this form, and although he was a regular member of the Wellington team for the next five years, he seldom again reached double-figures. He remained prominent in Wellington club cricket. In 1901-02 he made the highest score in the Wellington senior club season, 174. [4] In one club match he scored 11 runs off one hit: eight run by the batsmen and three overthrows. [5]
Excessive drinking led Quee into trouble with the law in Wellington in 1915. [6] He later moved to the Ōrongorongo region and then to Hawera, where he worked as a signwriter. He died at his home in Hawera of pneumonia at the age of 42. [7] [8]
