Charles Groom Clark (13 July 1883 - 6 August 1970) was a New Zealand cricketer. He played three first-class matches for Auckland in 1913/14.[1] [2]
An opening bowler, Clark took 5 for 108 in the second innings of his first first-class match in January 1914.[3] He continued playing senior cricket well into his forties. In December 1926 he opened the bowling and took 7 for 16 and 6 for 110 as Taranaki defeated Wanganui to win the Hawke Cup for the first time.[4] In February 1930, at the age of 46, he took 3 for 100 when Taranaki lost to the touring MCC.[5]
Clark worked as a carpenter. He served overseas in World War I with the 1st New Zealand Cyclist Company of the New Zealand Expeditionary Force.[6]
