Irwin Grimshaw

Irwin Grimshaw

Irwin Grimshaw was a first class cricketer who played 125 first class games for Yorkshire County Cricket Club between 1880 and 1887.

He also appeared in 13 other first class games for T Emmett's XI (1881-1883), A Shaw's XI (1881), North of England (1883-1887), Nottinghamshire and Yorkshire (1883), the Players (1884), an England XI (1884-1886), Lord Sheffield's XI (1885) and L Hall's XI (1885).

A right handed middle order batsman, he scored 3682 runs at 18.5 on the treacherous pitches of the day. He compiled 3 centuries in all, 129* against Cambridge University, 122* against Derbyshire CCC and 114 against Nottinghamshire CCC. He did not bowl in first class cricket.

One of seven children and the son of a gamekeeper, he learned his early cricket with Farsley United C.C. and Bingley C.C. After his playing career drew to a close at Yorkshire he played as a professional at several northern league clubs including Holmfirth CC, Nelson C.C. in Lancashire, Cudworth C.C. and Dobcross C.C. From 1885 to at least 1891 he was employed at, and probably landlord of, the New Inn, Farsley but, like all too many professionals of his era, he fell upon hard times in his later years and died in poverty stricken circumstances. He was buried at Calverley in Leeds.

Born on May 4, 1857 in Farsley, Leeds he died there on January 18, 1911.
