Edward Firth

Edward Loxley Firth was a first class cricketer who played 2 matches for Yorkshire County Cricket Club in 1912. He had also appeared for Sheffield and District in 1911.

He scored 43 runs in total, with a best of 37 on debut against Cambridge University, for an average of 10.75. He took a catch but did not bowl. His second and final match was an extraordinary affair against the touring Australian side at Bradford Park Avenue. Yorkshire batted first and posted 155 thanks to Benjamin Wilson (49) and George Hirst (45) and bowled out Australia for just 107 with Schofield Haigh taking 5 for 22 on a rain affected track. Yorkshire knocked up 66 for 7 before declaring and had Australia reeling at 35 for 6 in 22 overs before the draw was called. Schofield Haigh took all 6 for 14 runs in 11 overs.

He was born on March 7, 1886 in Hope, Derbyshire and died on January 8, 1949 in Syracuse, New York in the United States of America. He was also known as Edward Loxley-Firth.
