Richard William Dalgleish (1880 – 16 September 1955) was a New Zealand cricketer who played two matches of first-class cricket for Hawke's Bay in 1907 and 1908.
Dick Dalgleish was born in Scotland, and his family moved to New Zealand in 1893.[2][3] His father, one of the proprietors of the Timaru Woollen Mills, died in June 1900 after falling from a train near Palmerston.[4]
When the touring Lord Hawke's XI played a South Canterbury XVIII at Timaru in February 1903, Dalgleish took five wickets in each innings for South Canterbury.[5] In February 1904 he took 7 for 34 (including a hat-trick) and 7 for 79 when South Canterbury beat Canterbury by seven wickets at Lancaster Park.[6]
For Hawke's Bay, in his second first-class match, against Wellington in 1907-08, Dalgleish took 3 for 20 and 5 for 49.[7] He later served as secretary and treasurer of the Hawke's Bay Cricket Association,[8] secretary of the Napier Amateur Boxing Association,[9] and was the organising secretary of the New Zealand Golf Championships held in Napier in 1919.[10]
Dalgleish married Nita Kelly in Napier on 23 December 1908.[11] They had one daughter. Nita died in 1948, Dick in 1955.[1]
