Educated at Eton College, where he was in the cricket team alongside Gubby Allen, Mayo was a right-handed batsman who featured in the Somerset middle order in six matches in the early part of the 1928 season. He made 35 and 60, his highest score, in his first match against Nottinghamshire at Trent Bridge.[2] And in the next game, against Warwickshire at Edgbaston, he made 48.[3] But he was not successful in his other games and did not appear in first-class cricket again.
He was killed during the North African campaign in the Second World War.[4]
