The son of John Hubbersty Mathews, he was born at Islington in May 1847. He was educated at Harrow School,[1] before going up to Brasenose College, Oxford.[2] While studying at Oxford, he played first-class cricket for Oxford University, making his debut against the Marylebone Cricket Club at Lord's in 1867. He played first-class cricket for Oxford until 1869, making eleven appearances.[3] He scored a total of 179 run in his eleven matches, with a high score of 44.[4] With his right-arm roundarm slow bowling, he took 7 wickets with best figures of 3 for 57.[5]
