  • 333 – February 2014
    THE HAMPSHIRE CRICKET SOCIETY Patrons: John Woodcock Frank Bailey Shaun Udal NEWSLETTER No. 333 – FEBRUARY 2014 Wednesday 5 February 2014 – Meeting Members will have fond recollections of this evening’s speaker, Andy Murtagh. They will remember his shoulder length hair, droopy moustache and a smile which was never far away. Whether batting, bowling or fielding he conveyed a sense of fun and enjoyment. There was not a more enthusiastic cricketer. His stay with Hampshire was brief but in those five years between 1973 and 1977, he played a part-time but crucial role in Hampshire winning the County Championship in 1973 and the John Player League two years later. ANDREW JOSEPH MURTAGH was born in Dublin on 6 May 1949. He received his education at St. Joseph’s College, Beulah Hill, London, before attending Southampton University to read English. Primarily a right-handed batsman, who later developed his right-arm medium-paced bowling, he first played for Surrey 2nd XI in 1967 and 1968, before making his Hampshire 2nd XI debut in 1969. He became one of the 13 players to appear for the county in their championship year of 1973. He made a notable debut at Hove, in mid- January, top-scoring with 47 in the first innings and an undefeated 37 not out in the second. The latter was a backs-to-the-wall effort as he and Peter Sainsbury (18 not out) batted through the last ninety minutes to secure a draw against the pace of John Snow and the spin of Uday Joshi and Mike Buss.
