While studying at Cambridge, Leventhorpe made a single appearance in first-class cricket for Cambridge University against the Marylebone Cricket Club at Parker's Piece in 1835.[3] In a match which the Marylebone Cricket Club won by 88 runs, he was dismissed for a duck twice, firstly by Charles Parnther in Cambridge University's first-innings, and then by John Bayley in their second-innings.[4] Leventhorpe's batting style is unknown.
