He was a prolific batsman in Auckland club and representative cricket despite being unable to practise owing to his hours of work. In 1883-84 he made 59 not out, the top score of the match and of his first-class career, when Auckland chased a target of 152 in the second innings and he steered them to a four-wicket victory over Canterbury.

He married Emily Caradus in 1891. They had three sons and a daughter.
