Life

Mitchell was born at Cullion in County Tyrone in October 1946, and was educated at Foyle College in Derry.[1] He first played club cricket for Donemana, before moving to Belfast to study at Queen's University, where he joined the university cricket club.[1]

Mitchell made his debut for Ireland in a minor match against the Netherlands at Amstelveen on Ireland's 1974 tour of the Netherlands.[1][2] Later that year, he made a single appearance in first-class cricket for Ireland against Scotland at Alloway.[3] Playing as a middle order batsman, Mitchell batted twice in the match. He was dismissed in Ireland's first-innings for 2 runs by Jack Clark, while in their second-innings he was dismissed by Frank Robertson for 27 runs.[4]

He later moved to Dublin, where he played club cricket for Phoenix.[1] Outside of cricket, Mitchell runs his own business called Dublin Grass Machinery.[1]

After retiring from playing, he became a national selector,[1] and in 2005 he served as president of the Irish Cricket Union, helping to organise the 2005 ICC Trophy, which Ireland hosted.[1]
