Career
Hedges was one of five public schoolboys selected for their deeds in 1918 in the absence of first-class cricketers, because of the suspension of cricket during the First World War. In fact, Hedges" record in 1919 was even better than the previous year: he scored 1,038 runs for Tonbridge, including scores of 193, 176 and 163 in schools matches. Hedges had a limited cricket career after school.
He played for Oxford University for three years from 1920, and also played for Kent.
He became a schoolmaster at Cheltenham College and so qualified by residence for Gloucestershire, but his record was modest and he did not play after 1929. He died in 1933 at the age of 32 after contracting influenza.
