Cricket Career
His cricket career began with Dublin University, and he made his Ireland debut while there, playing against Scotland in July 1911. He played his second, and final, match for Ireland against South Africa a year later. In 1914, he played one first-class match for the Free Foresters, against Cambridge University.
Later, he played three first-class matches for Lancashire, a County Championship match against Gloucestershire, a match against Australia in 1921, and a match against Cambridge University in 1922. Cricket Archive records him as having played for Denbighshire in Minor Counties cricket in the 1930s, though some research suggests that this is a different RA Lloyd, as the RA Lloyd who played for Denbighshire apparently looked nothing like a rugby player and did not sound Irish.

Famous quotes containing the words cricket and/or career:
“The thing that struck me forcefully was the feeling of great age about the place. Standing on that old parade ground, which is now a cricket field, I could feel the dead generations crowding me. Here was the oldest settlement of freedmen in the Western world, no doubt. Men who had thrown off the bands of slavery by their own courage and ingenuity. The courage and daring of the Maroons strike like a purple beam across the history of Jamaica.”
—Zora Neale Hurston (1891–1960)
“I’ve been in the twilight of my career longer than most people have had their career.”
—Martina Navratilova (b. 1956)
