Alfred Ernest Yates Trestrail (24 January 1876, Hallatrow, Somerset – 5 February 1935, New Milton, Hampshire) played in one first-class cricket match for Somerset in the 1905 season.
An amateur who batted in the lower order, Trestrail was picked for the Somerset match against Lancashire at Taunton. After Lancashire had made 401 on the first day, he made 4 and then 3 as Somerset were beaten by an innings.[1] He was one of three Somerset debutants in the match; for one of the others, Ernest Shorrocks, this was also the only first-class match. The third, John Harcombe played six further matches for Somerset up to 1919.
Trestrail was educated at New College, Eastbourne and at Christ's College, Cambridge.[2] He was a lawyer by profession.[3] After service in World War I where he achieved the rank of major, he joined a law firm in Huddersfield, lived in Kirkburton, and was the moving spirit behind the building of the Woodsome Hall Golf Club.[4]
