question
Q: Charles B Barstow – South Brisbane First Grade Player Number 87

Charles B Barstow came from the Etons Juniors in 1905, and in his two first seasons with the club took 164 wickets. His 86 wickets in 1906/07 is still the greatest number taken by any bowler for the club in one season. Charles played for Souths from 1905-1911 when he transferred to Toombul under the Electorate residential rules.

Barstow was unlucky, in that he mainly played for Queensland before it entered the Sheffield Shield and was considered too old to play for Australia. On his day, he was reputed as being unplayable in club cricket.

In 1909/10 he took 10/34 against Oxley and also had Toombul at 8/1 at one stage against Toombul. He won 16 grade premierships with various clubs. His first class record was 78 wickets at 28.2.

Barstow died in 1935 at only 52 years of age.

Q: This is the first known picture of cricketers for the Souths Electorate (later to be known as the South Brisbane District Cricket Club) Team taken in November 1897. Most are un-named in the picture.

Captain W T Fischer picture on the reversed chair in the middle with the hat is our first Captain. B Papi is in the front row at the far right of picture seated (with bow tie). A H Jones is seated in the front row, 3rd from the right.

Long-time player Justins (back row, third from the right in whites) also features in the 1905 Souths Electorate Cricket photo. S Donahoo, Suit, 4th from left at rear, scored what is probably the first Grade century.

question
Q: Alan MARSHAL

Born – 12/06/1883, Warwick

Enlisted – 19/10/1914 (30 years of Age)

Service number 163

First Grade Number 14

Served with the 15th Battalion in Gallipoli as a Private.The Club’s first premiership came in 1900-1901 when the Club won the First Grade Premiership.

No doubt the most outstanding player for South Brisbane in the early years was Alan Marshal who in 1904/05 scored 221 runs for South Brisbane against Nundah. This score stood as the highest individual score until it was surpassed by Glenn Trimble who scored 230 n.o. against Wynnum-Manly in 1986-87. He was a tall man, standing at 6ft 3.

question
Q: To celebrate the club centenary, the author has chosen the following twelve players to comprise the team of the century. It is obviously impossible to compare players from different eras due to varying conditions and changing rules, however I feel that these players would more than hold their own against any other club combination. Some players were not considered either because they played few matches for Souths or because their representative careers were played with other clubs. Players not considered due to the above criteria include- WA Brown, D Tallon, AW Grout, KA Archer, SC Trimble, and CJ McDermott. The team is lodged in chronological order.

Alan MARSHAL Played for Souths at the age of 14 in 1897 and finished his career in 1912. A right-handed batsman and medium paced bowler, he played one season in Sydney in 1902/03. He played 11 times for Queensland. His career figures for Souths were 3289 runs at 32.56 and 146 wickets at 11.93.

Lance Kahler - Memories
This was a team of mostly country boys who made their way to Brisbane and played together for a number of years, climbing from the bottom of the ladder to the premiership over a five year period. The team was very close on and off the field and was brilliantly led by one of the nicest blokes ever to play the game, the great Brad Ruddell. And of course, who can forget the contribution made by that NSW interloper, Dale Turner. Dale joined Souths for two seasons and helped take us from being a good side to a premiership winning side. Great memories.
