Barclay Wallace Farquhar - The Stylist

Wally’ Farquhar was born on 22nd February 1875 at Maitland, NSW and was educated at the Sydney Grammar School, he died on 23rd January 1961.

He was already a batsman of repute when he arrived at Central Cumberland in 1895/96, because of a job transfer to the Commercial Banking Company’s Parramatta branch, a lucky break for the club. His performances and the glowing reports about his ability over the ensuing nine seasons place him within the realms of the greatest batsmen and run scorers in the history of the club. His Central Cumberland batting statistics stand the test of time and testify to his eminence within the club:

4,195 runs @ 53.78, highest score 223, 12 centuries, including 4 in the 1903/04 season.
