Sydney Arthur Orchard (12 December 1875 – 19 April 1947) was a New Zealand rugby union player, referee and administrator, and cricket player and administrator.
Early life and family
[edit]Orchard was born in Elmore, Victoria, Australia on 12 December 1875. He emigrated to New Zealand with his family in 1886.[1]
Rugby union
[edit]A wing and fullback, Orchard represented Manawatu and Canterbury at a provincial level. He was a member of the New Zealand national side in 1896 and 1897, playing eight matches, including two games against each of New South Wales and Queensland. After retiring as a player, Orchard served on the management committee of the Canterbury Rugby Union, and was also a referee.[1]
Cricket
[edit]Orchard played first-class cricket in New Zealand for Canterbury between 1895 and 1913. In 1909–10 Orchard took a hat-trick for Canterbury against Auckland in Auckland.[2] After his playing career ended he managed the New Zealand team that toured Australia in 1913–14,[3] and was sole selector for the two matches New Zealand played at home against Australia later that season.[4]
His great-grandson Mark Orchard played cricket for the Northern Districts Knights.[5]
