[edit] Playing career
Harpur first played for Ireland in August 1974, scoring 0 not out against Wales in Colwyn Bay. He would not play again for Ireland until July 1977, against the same opponents, this time in Swansea. He was a little more successful on this second outing, scoring six runs in the Irish first innings. He then began to become more of a regular in the Irish side, playing against Surrey, the MCC and Wales in 1978, and against FW Millett's XI in 1979.[2]
In 1980, he played against Wales[2], and made his first-class debut against Scotland in August.[3] In 1981, he played against Canada, Middlesex, Gloucestershire, Scotland, the MCC, Wales and Surrey.[2] The match that year against Scotland was his final first-class match[3], whilst the match against Gloucestershire was his List A debut.[4] He scored 56 not out in the first innings of the match against Wales, his only half-century for Ireland.[2]
His international career winded down in 1982, during which he played against India and the MCC, before playing his final game for Ireland against Northamptonshire in July[2], which was also his final List A match.[4]
[edit] Statistics
In all matches for Ireland, he scored 341 runs at an average of 20.06. He bowled just once, bowling three overs against Scotland in 1981.[2]
