Obituary – Dr Frank Crosbie

Dr Frank Crosbie, whose death has taken place at Merville, Cobh, County Cork, at the age of 61, was a member of a well-known Kerry family, being a son of Mr Frank Crosbie, of the Irish Land Commission, and grandson of Mr Thomas Crosbie, Ballyheigue.

After graduating at Trinity College, Dublin, in 1909, he got the M.B. degree in 1910., B.Ch. in 1911, and M.D. in 1912. He held numerous appointments in England and Ireland, and was attached to the National Hospital for Consumption for Ireland, Newcastle, County Wicklow.

It was as a sportsman that Dr Crosbie was best known. He played rugby for Dublin Wanderers, but he was more successful at lawn tennis and badminton, at both of which he represented his country. He played in the Open Championship at Wimbledon from 1922 to 1937. Between 1911 and 1938, he won the limerick Count Championship six times and Midland Counties Championship ten times. He won the Irish Closed Championship in 1926.
