Cricket

Evans, a right-handed batsman, made his first-class debut in the 1900 County Championship for Hampshire against Warwickshire. Evans played one further match for Hampshire in the 1900 season against Sussex.

Nine years later Evans returned to play for Hampshire in the 1909 season, playing his first match on his return against the touring Australians. Evans played two matches for the club in that year's County Championship against Derbyshire and Middlesex.

Evans joined the Royal Navy. He was a lieutenant in command of HMS Star as part of the Portsmouth instructional flotilla until she paid off at Portsmouth on 31 December 1900, and on the following day he and the crew transferred to HMS Electra.[1] In September 1902, he was posted to the Naval School of Telegraphy at HMS Victory for signals course,[2] and from 12 November 1902 he was posted as 1st lieutenant on the battleship HMS Venerable on her first commission, to the Mediterranean Fleet.[3]
