Fillary was born at Heathfield in Sussex, in 1944.[1] He attended St Lawrence College, Ramsgate, where he captained the First XI in 1962, scoring 869 runs at an average of 96.55 and taking 55 wickets with his leg-spin at 9.76.[2] He played for the Public Schools against the Combined Services at Lord's in 1961 and 1962 before going up to Oriel College, Oxford.[3]

Fillary made his first appearances for Kent's Second XI in 1961 in the Second XI Championship. He made his first-class cricket debut for Oxford University in May 1963 against Gloucestershire before winning a cricket Blue in the same season and making his debut for Kent's First XI in July.[3] He took his best figures of 6 for 77 in the university match in 1963, when Wisden noted that he both spun the ball sharply and varied his spin cleverly.[4] He played in the university match in all three of his years at Oxford and made a total of 32 first-class appearances for the team. He was also awarded a hockey Blue.[3]

He appeared in 13 first-class matches for Kent between 1963 and 1966, his final appearance coming against Oxford University at Canterbury in June 1966. His best figures for Kent were 5 for 52 against Middlesex at Lord's in 1964. He played 48 matches for the county's Second XI, making his final appearances in 1967.[3]
