Joey Ring was one of Kent's best batsmen in the late 18th century and was employed by Sir Horatio Mann at Bourne as a huntsman. He originally came from the Dartford area.
He was noted for his play to leg and was a good single-wicket player.
Ring is believed to have been a cricketing fatality. It seems that his nose was broken in the summer of 1800 by a practice ball bowled by his brother George. Ring became ill and was bedridden for several weeks before dying on 25 October, evidently of a fever that developed as a result of his accident.
Joey Ring made 90 known first-class appearances from 1782 until 1796 when he seems to have withdrawn from major matches.
