While studying at Magdalen College, Oxford, Barmby made a single first-class appearance for Oxford University Cricket Club against Lancashire at Old Trafford in 1885.[2] During this match, he was dismissed for a duck by Alexander Watson in their first-innings, while in their second-innings he made 6 runs, before being dismissed by Johnny Briggs.[3] This was his only first-class appearance for the university.

He later made two Minor Counties Championship appearances for Berkshire; in 1900 against Oxfordshire and in 1909 against Buckinghamshire.[4]

In other sports, he won a Blue for Association football in 1886 and was also a good rackets player.[5]
