Hollingsworth was born in the United States in New York City in July 1907, but came to England as a child, where he was educated at Bromsgrove School.[1] He played first-class cricket for Hampshire in the 1929 County Championship, playing twice against Surrey at The Oval and Lancashire at Southampton. He later played first-class cricket in British India for the Europeans cricket team, making two appearances in the Madras Presidency Matches of January 1933 and 1934 against the Indians cricket team.[2] In his four first-class matches, he scored 58 runs and took four wickets.[3] Back in England, he represented his adopted home county of Devon in minor counties cricket between 1933 and 1946, making eight appearances in the Minor Counties Championship.[4] Hollingworth died on 2 October 1973 in Topsham, Devon.
