Albert Farrar

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Albert Farrar was a first class cricketer who played one match for Yorkshire County Cricket Club in 1906.

He scored two runs in his only innings and did not bowl in the game against Somerset CCC at Fartown, Huddersfield which Yorkshire won by an innings. Like comrades George Hirst and John Tunnicliffe, he lost his wicket attempting to force the pace against the left-arm slows of Arthur Bailey. He did, however, pick up a catch to dismiss Fred Lee off the bowling of Wilfred Rhodes.

He also appeared for Yorkshire Second XI from 1902 to 1910 and R.W. Frank's XI in 1906.

He was born on April 29, 1883 in Brighouse, West Yorkshire and died on Christmas Day 1954 in Salterhebble, Halifax.
