Stuart Smith (cricketer)


Stuart Campbell Smith was an Irish first-class cricketer.
Smith was born at Rathmines in Dublin in August 1868. A high scoring batsman in club cricket for Leinster, Smith first appeared for Ireland in a minor match against I Zingari at Dublin in 1891. He continued to appear regularly for Ireland in minor cricket from 1891-1908. He made his debut in first-class cricket for Ireland at the age of 40, against the touring South Africans at Dublin. He played two further first-class matches for Ireland in 1908 at Dublin, against the touring Gentlemen of Philadelphia, and Yorkshire. Despite being a heavy scorer at club level, he failed to repeat this at first-class level, scoring just 19 runs at an average of 3.16 across his three matches. He played for Stanley Cochrane's Woodbrook Club and Ground in a minor match against Hampshire in 1909.
