three years after his last first-class game for the royal air force team, beisiegel played 10 matches for leicestershire in the 1934 season as a middle-order batsman. he was not particularly successful, scoring 185 runs at an average of just 12.33 and with a highest score of only 33. but when the leicestershire captain arthur hazlerigg was injured late in the season, it fell to beisiegel as an amateur player to take over the captaincy, and in his first game as captain he led the team to its first victory over yorkshire since 1911. "the times" report said that it was "the most sensational victory of the season": yorkshire had declared their first innings 102 ahead with only five wickets down but, set 149 to win, were all out for 90. two weeks later there was a second victory under beisiegel's leadership against a team considered greatly superior to leicestershire when nottinghamshire were beaten by an innings and 106 runs inside two days at trent bridge. the end of the season, however, marked the end of beisiegel's first-class cricket career as he resumed his raf duties; he was, however, awarded an honorary county cap in recognition of his captaincy successes.
