Charles George Carew Elers (2 January 1867 – 11 December 1927) was an English cricketer. Elers was a right-handed batsman who played as a wicket-keeper. He was born at Lyme Regis, Dorset, and died at Antony, Cornwall.
Elers played his county cricket for Glamorgan in the Minor Counties Championship, making his debut for the county against Carmarthenshire in 1910, with him making five further appearances for the county in that season.[1] Following a score of 151 made against Carmarthenshire at Swansea,[2][3] it was in 1910 that he was called up to represent a West of England team against the East of England in a first-class match at Cardiff Arms Park.[4] In a match which the West won by four wickets, Elers batted once, scoring four runs before he was dismissed by Walter Mead, as well as taking five catches and making a single stumping in the match overall.[5] The following season, he appeared once more for Glamorgan in the Minor Counties Championship against the Surrey Second XI.[1] His father Charles Elers also played for Somerset, Dorset and the Channel Islands.[6]
