Fitz Garraway (born 5 September 1947) is a former Guyanese cricketer who played a single first-class match for Essequibo in the final of the 1980–81 inter-county Jones Cup. Aged 33, he was the oldest player on the side, a year older than Beni Sankar.
Born in Dartmouth in what was then British Guiana (now part of Guyana's Pomeroon-Supenaam region),[1] Garraway opened the batting with Kamroze Mohammed in both innings of the match, played against Berbice at the Kayman Sankar Cricket Ground in Hampton Court (on the Atlantic coast).[2] He scored 31 runs in the first innings, before being caught by Milton Pydanna, a future West Indies ODI wicket-keeper,[3] off the bowling of Suresh Ganouri. In the second innings, he scored 17 runs, before being bowled by Leslaine Lambert.[2] Garraway also recorded a single catch in Berbice's first innings, dismissing one of their opening batsman, Tyrone Etwaroo, from Courtenay Gonsalves' medium-fast bowling. He was one of two Essequibo players from Dartmouth in the match, the other being fast bowler Egbert Stephens.[4]
Berbice won the match by nine wickets in what was Essequibo's only first-class match – only the final of the three-team Jones Cup (later the Guystac Trophy) was accorded first-class status, and Essequibo made the final only once, having defeated Demerara in an earlier match.[5] The scorecards of the non-first-class matches played by Essequibo are not available before the late 1990s, and it is therefore uncertain how Garraway played for Essequibo (if at all) in earlier matches.[6]
