Septimus Drummond Lambert (3 August 1876 – 21 April 1959)[http://www.cricketarchive.co.uk/Archive/Players/26/26803/26803.html Cricket Archive profile] was an Irish cricketer. A right-handed batsman and wicket-keeper, he played 14 times for the Ireland cricket team between 1896 and 1921,[http://www.cricketeurope4.net/CSTATZ/irelandall/ire158.htm CricketEurope Stats Zone profile] including seven first-class matches.[http://www.cricketarchive.co.uk/Archive/Players/26/26803/First-Class_Matches.html First-class matches played by Sep Lambert] at CricketArchive
Lambert was educated at Rathmines School and Wesley College in Dublin and at St John's College in Preston before qualifying as a solicitor in Dublin.
Cricket career
Sep Lambert made his debut for Ireland against I Zingari in August 1896. Never a regular in the Irish side, his international career contains several large gaps between matches, and it was three years before he played his second match for Ireland, also against I Zingari in August 1899. Another three-year gap followed, before he made his first-class debut for Ireland, against London County in May 1902, in what was also Ireland's first first-class match.[http://www.cricketeurope4.net/CSTATZ/irelandall/irer54.htm List of matches played by] Ireland This was a rare period of consistent selection for Ireland, and he played three further first-class matches again that month, against the MCC, Oxford University and Cambridge University.
He played once in 1903 against London County, and twice in 1904 against South Africa and Cambridge University. He played a match against HDG Leveson-Gower's XI in 1905, before another gap in appearances, this time for eleven years, returning for a match against Scotland in July 1911.
Another long gap followed, though much of this can be explained by Ireland not playing between 1915 and 1919 due to the First World War. He did play three more times for Ireland though, against Scotland in 1920 and against the Irish Military and Scotland in 1921.
