Son of Mary McGUIRE and Hugh BYRNE. He has been referred to as BYRNE and as BYRNES throughout his playing days. His death is registered in the name of BYRNES. He is listed in the Life Members of the Valley District Cricket Club as T BYRNE.

He is known to have played in Maitland and in Newcastle before moving to Brisbane in 1896 to play for the Graziers. He quickly made his mark and was selected in the Queensland team to tour New Zealand in December 1896 and January 1897. He suffered a hand injury just prior to the opening game of the tour, against Auckland, and stood out of the eleven. He made his first class debut for Queensland in the second match of the tour, against New Zealand at Wellington and began by capturing two wickets in each innings of the match. His sixteen first class wickets on tour cost 286 runs. Playing in the three minor matches of the tour he captured a total of twenty-four wickets at a cost of 146 runs. On the return journey he failed to capture a wicket in the two days match against South Tasmania, a game lost by the Queenslanders.

In the following season he played for Woolloongabba and was a member of the Queensland and New South Wales thirteen for the match against the touring Englishmen and put in a good bowling performance on a wicket very much in favour of the batsmen, capturing three for 122 in a total of 636. This was the first major match played on the new Brisbane Cricket Ground, unfortunately it was not first class. Later in the season he was unable to play for the combined Queensland and Victoria eleven in the match that was the initial first class game to be played on the new ground.

He appeared for Queensland in the following seasons, except that he was unable to travel to Sydney in November 1899. He appeared in three matches in each of the seasons from 1902-03 to 1904-05 and was quite successful with the ball. He also provided some useful scores with the bat and in November 1902 recorded his highest first class score of 44, adding 67 runs for the tenth wicket in partnership with AA Atkins as they more than doubled the score. His final first class match was in the season of 1905-06 when he played against New South Wales in Sydney in December 1905.

He made a number of appearances for combined Brisbane teams against teams from Queensland Country areas. The first of these was in April 1898 when he was a member of a team to travel to Rockhampton for a two day game against Central Queensland. He captured nine wickets for the match but the Brisbane batting failed and the team was defeated by 60 runs in the two day contest. He had further success against Central Queensland in the match played in Brisbane in December 1898. He played in the matches against Queensland Country in Brisbane in 1902 and 1903, these matches marking the beginnings of the Country trials. In the 1902 match he captured ten wickets and in 1903 added another eight to his total, this match being played on a wet wicket.

He played QCA grade for Graziers (1896-97); Woolloongabba (1897-98 to 1898-99); Nundah (1899-00 to ?); Fortitude Valley ( to 1908-09). John Thorburn records that in 17 matches for Woolloongabba he scored 144 runs and captured 84 wickets with a best in an innings of nine for 12 against Toowong, achieving a clean bowled hat-trick. No other club figures are currently held. His final season was probably 1908-09 when he was playing for Fortitude Valley. He was awarded life membership of the Fortitude Valley Electorate Cricket Club but the year is not known.

Arrived in Brisbane with his family as assisted migrants on board the Southesk, reaching Brisbane on 1 August 1878. He was the eldest of the family of Ellen Harriet SHEPHERD and William Henry CHAPMAN, plasterer, and was stated to be eleven years of age.

He played cricket for the Oakfields, for a time affiliated with the South Queensland Cricket Union, this body being amalgamated with the Queensland Cricket Association in 1891. He continued to play for Oakfields until the introduction of electorate cricket in 1897 when he played firstly with North Brisbane and later with Fortitude Valley. He was a dashing right hand batsman and a wicket keeper. In 1890-91 he represented the South Queensland Cricket Union in a match against Toowoomba.

He made two first class appearances for Queensland against New South Wales, the first in Sydney in the season of 1895-96 when he recorded a pair, and the second at Brisbane at the end of the season of 1901-02. In this second match he was more successful with the bat but experienced difficulty with the pace of Albert Henry while keeping wickets. Early in the season of 1902-03 he sustained an injury at practice resulting in a broken bone in his foot and was unavailable to play in that season. W.T. Evans replaced him as the Queensland wicket keeper and retained the position for several years.

In the season of 1892-93 he was Queensland captain and wicket keeper for the second match played in Brisbane against a team from Northern New South Wales, the team being described as the Armidale cricketers. In 1895-96 he played as a batsman in the one day match played by Queensland against Newcastle on their return journey from Sydney.

His early employment was with the Electric Telegraph Department though he is not initially listed in the Queensland Blue Books, listing all permanent staff of the Colonial Civil Service. His first listing was in 1898 when he is recorded as a Letter Carrier with the Post and Telegraph Department, his appointment dating from 1 October 1898. He remains listed until the Department was taken over by the new federal government in 1901. In later years he is listed on the federal electoral rolls as a clerk, though the occupation of letter carrier does continue for another couple of years. In the 1890s he is recorded as having represented the Electric Telegraph Department in cricket matches against their counter parts in Sydney.

Early in the following season he was included in a squad from which the Queensland players would be selected to take part in a match between Thirteen of Queensland and New South Wales against AE Stoddart’s England team at the new Brisbane Cricket Ground. Playing for Toowoomba against the touring team he captured three wickets for 53 from 24.1 overs as the home side took first innings advantage and followed with another wicket in the second innings. With the bat he scored 20 and shared with FN Robinson in a tenth wicket partnership of 54 to take his team to the lead.

In 1898 he moved to Brisbane and commenced playing for Fortitude Valley in the Brisbane grade competition. In November of 1899 he was included in a squad from which the Queensland eleven would be selected to play against New South Wales in Sydney but was omitted from the final team and also missed selection in the game against New South Wales in Brisbane. In June 1900 he moved to Sydney and commenced an association with Leichhardt-Balmain and in 1902 made his first class debut for New South Wales against Queensland. At the end of the season of 1902-03 he travelled to England to join Worcestershire. His first class cricket for Worcestershire was from 1903 to 1914, concluding with the outbreak of war. He then played league cricket and would later become a first class umpire. He was also a cricket coach firstly at Wrekin College and then at Repton College.

Jack Cuffe was a right hand batsman and a left arm bowler who delivered at a slow to medium pace. He died on 16 May 1931 at Burton on Trent in Staffordshire when he drowned in the river Trent. A brother, George Cuffe also played cricket for Fortitude Valley.

Duncan William19 October 1912 Brisbane

27 July 1943

RHB WK

Son of Bridget (nee GUILFOYLE) and Arthur Ernest DUNCAN.

He batted right hand in the lower order and was a wicket keeper. He commenced his grade cricket with the Valley Electorate Cricket Club in the season of 1929-30, playing for the B Grade team and holding twelve catches and making seven stumpings. This was stated to be his first year of playing on turf wickets. He came to notice of Leo O’Connor and in 1930-31 was promoted to A Grade, where he made six catches and five stumpings. In this season O’Connor stood down from the keeper’s role to allow Duncan the experience that would bring him into the Queensland team later in the season.

In October 1930 he was selected for the Brisbane Colts team for the annual match against the Queensland Country team and in a one innings a side match made four dismissals in the Country innings. In December he was a member of the Brisbane team for the annual match against Toowoomba played at Toowoomba.

In January 1931 he was brought into the Queensland team for the match against the touring West Indies, replacing Harry Leeson who was not available. His performance in this match was stated in The Referee to be hardly up to expectations. As a result of this performance he was not included in the Queensland team for the match against Victoria, to be played in Brisbane at the end of January, but abandoned because of rain. In the match against the West Indies he held four catches.

After playing one match in A Grade in the season of 1931-32 he was dropped to play in the B Grade team for the remainder of the season, his place in the A Grade being taken by a promising youngster, Ivan Schwenke. At the end of October he was selected as the wicket keeper for a combined B & C Grade team to play a two day match against the Queensland Country Second team. In this match he batted in the middle of the order and scored a first innings 26. In his season of B grade cricket he held eight catches and made fourteen stumpings. His batting also showed improvement for he reached a highest innings of 55 and recorded 218 runs in fourteen visits to the crease.

In the season of 1932-33 he moved to live at West End and played for South Brisbane, playing in their A Grade team for the first half of the season. Harry Leeson then returned from Rockhampton to Brisbane and renewed his contact with South Brisbane and his place in the A Grade team. In 1933-34 Bill Duncan played for the Q.C.A. Colts team, but seems there after to have made no further appearances in Brisbane grade cricket.

His occupation was stated to be draper, following in the footsteps of his father who operated a drapery business. It seems he suffered from poor health for his death certificate gives the causes of his death as being (1) Cerebral Haemorrhage, (2) Hypertension, (3) Chronic Nephritis.

Henderson Thomas7 December 1872 Mooloolah

12 December 1968

Second of four children of Thomas HENDERSON, police constable, and his wife Eliza, née McATEER, both from Ireland. The family moved to the Brisbane suburb of Hemmant where Thomas attended the local state school. In April 1888 he was admitted to the Department of Public Instruction and sent to Kangaroo Point Boys' School as a pupil-teacher; three years later he became an assistant-teacher. He then taught at Ipswich East (1896-97) and Woolloongabba (from 1898) boys' schools. At Holy Trinity Church, Woolloongabba, on 10 April 1901 he married with Anglican rites Maria Ada Mumford, a telephone-operator. From July 1902 Henderson ran the one-teacher school at Glencoe until appointed head teacher of a new school at Rangeville, Toowoomba, in July 1909. He was transferred to Ascot State School, Brisbane, in May 1920, and remained there for nineteen years.

A competent and progressive administrator, Henderson was unusually innovative and creative. His concept of 'the school beautiful' inspired the establishment of attractive grounds, with gardens, flowering trees, bush-houses, rockeries, fish ponds and vine-covered archways. Adventure playgrounds, planned athletic ovals and games courts were added features. Gymnasiums and swimming pools built at Rangeville and Ascot were among the first in Queensland state schools. Appreciating the value of school libraries, Henderson acquired a separate building at Ascot for use as a library and reading-room. He arranged for one teacher to become an art specialist in order to implement an ambitious programme of art, craft and art appreciation. By drawing on the talents of his staff, he decorated schoolrooms with murals of educational and aesthetic value.

Henderson introduced choral work, and founded a bugle band at Rangeville and a brass band at Ascot. Pupils were consistently successful in external scholarship examinations, winning three Lilley medals during this period. Sport was encouraged and a competitive house-system introduced. Well in advance of their general acceptance by the Department of Public Instruction, Henderson established project clubs which promoted pupils' interests in poultry, beekeeping, fish, vegetables and flowers. Ascot held its own annual agricultural and horticultural show. He was also instrumental in establishing a model, one-teacher school within Ascot where teachers-in-training spent some time in anticipation of their service in small schools.

A successful amateur sportsman, Henderson turned out for athletics, cricket, football and bowls. He rose to the rank of lieutenant in the Queensland Teachers' Volunteer Corps and was an officer of school cadets. With the help of his colleagues, he produced several textbooks on mathematics, history and geography; for many years he was an executive-member of the Queensland Teachers' Union. 'Hendy's' reputation was built on his ability to develop his staff, to inspire the co-operation of individuals and to involve communities in his work. Many of his achievements were the more impressive for being accomplished during the Depression. Affectionately regarded as the 'Mr Chips' of Ascot School, he retired on 30 June 1939.

Previously played for Wooloongabba in 1899-00.

He commenced his cricket with Valley and played mostly in the lower grades (mainly reserve) and continued to be available as a fill in player for many years, making his final appearance in 1987.

In November 1951 he decided to turn his attention to umpiring and in January 1952 officiated in his first first-class match. He made his Test debut in 1954-55 and retired from umpiring at the end of the 1960-61 season having umpired in 9 tests. After Joe Solomon hit the stumps at Brisbane in 1960-61, Hoy gave Ian Meckiff run out to record the first tie in Test history. West Indian captain Frank Worrell said he would be happy to have the same umpires - Hoy and Colin Egar - again; and he did, in all five Tests. However, Hoy retired from umpiring after that season and concentrated on business and playing grade cricket in Brisbane. He made a brief comeback as an umpire during World Series Cricket.

Hutcheon Ernest Henry17 June 1889 Toowoomba

9 June, 1937

RHB

Son of Elizabeth Sarah SILVESTER and John McIntosh HUTCHEON. Brother of EL HUTCHEON.

He was educated at the Toowoomba North State School and at Toowoomba Grammar School, being a “Trustees Scholar”. He was enrolled at Toowoomba Grammar School on 4 February 1902 and was a Junior Prefect in 1906 and a Senior Prefect until he left the school in the latter part of 1907. He was highly regarded as a student and in August 1907 sat for the Public Service Entrance Examination, coming second in all of Queensland.

He was a member of the First XI, being vice-Captain; the First XV; and the First IV. He was a Subaltern in the Cadet Unit. Of him as a cricketer the school magazine records: “Hutcheon (Vice-Capt.) – the best allround player in the First XI. Fields well anywhere and is a good wicket-keeper. Excellent bat and a good change bowler.” He also received high praise as a rugby player.

On leaving school, probably in August 1907 he went to London where he completed his studies for the Bar, where he was admitted. He remained in London for a number of years, being attached for a time to the Agent General’s Office. In 1908 he represented Australia at the Olympic Games in London and in 1911 at the Empire Games (Athletics). On returning to Queensland he practised in Toowoomba and Townsville and for a time worked in the Crown Law Office. He enlisted in the A.I.F. in 1917 and served in the 9th Battalion, reaching the rank of Lieutenant Colonel. In the course of the war he was gassed and invalided back to Australia.

He commenced playing grade cricket in Brisbane in the season of 1919-20 when he appeared for the Returned Soldiers. On 22 November 1919 he played for RJ Hartigan’s team in the trial match against JS Hutcheon’s team, scoring 29. In late December he appeared for Rest of Queensland against the Queensland XI scoring 0 and 40 not out. He made his debut in first class cricket in the final match of the season, against New South Wales played at Sydney in April when he recorded scores of 2 and 8. He was again included in the trial match in 1920-21 but did not appear for Queensland in this season.

Prior to the commencement of the 1921-22 season and with the amalgamation of Goodna, Oxley and Toowong to form Western Suburbs Electorate Cricket Club, the Queensland Cricket Association rejected Returned Soldiers as a participant in the Brisbane competition. Hutcheon now played with Woolloongabba and appeared for Brisbane in the trial match against Queensland Country, and subsequently for Queensland against New South Wales in Brisbane. He was a member of the Queensland team to travel to Sydney for the return match which was abandoned because of continuous rain. He then joined Toombul and again played for Brisbane against Country in 1922-23 season and in December 1922 appeared for Queensland against New South Wales in the State’s sole first class match of the season.. In 1923-24 he played in one trial match but failed to gain selection in the Queensland team.

In 1924-25 season he played with Valley but had a poor season. In 1925-26 he batted well in grade cricket and returned to the Queensland team, playing in all four first class matches for the season. That was the end of his first class career. He had one more season with Valley and then joined with Kelvin Grove when they formed for the 1927-28 season, living within the boundaries of the area defined for that club. In 1928-29 Kelvin Grove became Northern Suburbs. He played with the club until 1933-34 and in 1934-35 played a season in the Warehouse Association, but that ended his cricket.

He had been a member of the Queensland Cricket Association Executive Committee, firstly serving as a representative of the Returned Soldiers in 1920-21, representing Valley in 1926-27, while from 1927-28 to 1930-31 he represented Kelvin Grove/Northern Suburbs. He was a Queensland selector from 1927-28 to 1932-33. He prepared much of the material for A History of Queensland Cricket which was finally published in 1946. After his death the work on the history was continued by TJ Bale and completed for publication by VG Honour.

His brother, John Silvester HUTCHEON had represented Queensland in first class cricket and was later to become a well known administrator of the game in this State, being elected Chairman of the Executive Committee in 1920 and President of the Association in 1926, retaining each position up to the time of his death

He played three seasons of country cricket for Leicestershire, in 1899, 1901 and 1902.

It was in the season of 1894-95 that he was elected Secretary of the Queensland Cricket Association, sharing the duties with AHV Hewitt. Later in the season an act of parliament granting the lease of the area at Woolloongabba for a cricket ground was passed and the Trust was formed.

Robbie Macdonald became a member of that committee as a nominee of the Association.

In 1897-98 and 1898-99 he was the Fortitude Valley representative of the Queensland Cricket Association Executive Committee.

His career ended when he changed his residence to live in the North Brisbane electorate in 1904. He wished to continue playing with the Fortitude Valley Electorate Club but the Queensland Cricket Association refused to grant him the required permission, so he made himself unavailable for further cricket in the state and soon moved to England.

Schools: Brisbane Grammar; The University College, Pennsylvania, USA; Taplow Grammar (England). His professional calling was Doctor of Dentistry.

2 March 1946

RHB OB

Son of Margaret Ellen nee MITCHELL and Patrick James McFARLANE.

He attended school firstly at St Patricks Convent School, located at that time in McLaughlin Street, Fortitude Valley near what is now referred to as Kemp Place. From St Patricks he moved to St James Christian Brothers College in Boundary Street, Spring Hill, leaving school to enter the workforce at age 14, having completed his State Scholarship examinations.

He commenced his cricket with St Patricks, a Junior club, playing with them until 1921-22. He had shown considerable talent as a right hand batsman and from the season of 1922-23 moved to play with the Fortitude Valley Electorate Cricket Club, soon making his A Grade debut. Without any spectacular performances in Grade cricket he did manage to catch the eye of the State selectors, particularly in the field and in 1924 was a member of the Queensland team for the match against New South Wales played in Brisbane in late November. Though he failed with the bat he was retained for the game against the touring M.C.C. team a week later but once again failed and was not included in the team to travel to Sydney for the game played over the New Year period.

Over the next few years he batted consistently and continued to average in the twenties. In the season of 1929-30 he recorded his highest grade score of 98 not out and for the season took his average to 37.25. In 1930-31 season he batted very consistently and though his highest score was 65 he managed an average of 47.42. With a number of problems developing between some of the Queensland players and the Queensland Cricket Association he was recalled to the Queensland team for the match against the touring West Indies. Once again he failed with the bat and so ended his first class playing days.

He was soon to be married and also found it necessary to spend more time attending to his work and so would soon drop out of grade cricket, though he did make occasional appearances, playing his last A Grade game in 1935-36, when he played mostly in the Reserve Grade.

Clem McFarlane commenced his working career as a clerk with a credit organisation. In the later twenties until the mid thirties he conducted his own business at New Farm. He then became a sales representative. At the outbreak of war he took a job in the South Brisbane Dry Dock and later worked as a clerk in a bacon factory until his death. He was a very religious man and was deeply involved in his local parish activities. On 26th November 1932 he was married in Brisbane to Mary Theresa O’DEA, and there was a family of three children. He died at the inner northern suburb of Grange on 2nd March 1946, the cause of his early demise being cancer of the colon.

As well as cricket he played social tennis in his younger years and was also a member of the Valley Baseball club. Two of his brothers were playing members of the Fortitude Valley Rugby Union Club.
