The fourth son of the cleric George Moberly, he was born at Winchester in April 1848. He was educated at Winchester College,[1] where he played for the college cricket team.[2] From Winchester he matriculated to New College, Oxford.[3] After graduating from Oxford, Moberly practiced as a solicitor at Alresford.[1] A keen cricketer, he made a single appearance in first-class cricket for Hampshire against Derbyshire at Derby in 1877.[4] Batting twice in the match, he was dismissed for 27 runs in Hampshire's first innings by Amos Hind, while in their second innings he was dismissed for 4 runs by William Hickton.[5] Although he did bowl in first-class cricket, Wisden described him as "a steady and painstaking bowler, varying the pitch considerably, and was sometimes very successful".[2] He later served Hampshire County Cricket Club in an administrative capacity, serving for many years as its treasurer and chairman of committee. From 1913 to 1918, he served as its president.[2] Moberly died at Southampton in January 1928.[6] His nephew, Robert Awdry, also played first-class cricket.
