Cyril Hopkins (4 May 1882 �� 25 September 1968) was a New Zealand cricketer. He played nine first-class matches for Otago between 1908 and 1913.[1] His brother Bert played Test cricket for Australia.
In 1911-12 Hopkins became the first Otago batsman to score a century against Canterbury, though the annual first-class match between the two had been held since 1863–64.[2] Opening the batting, he scored 132, exactly double the next-highest score in the match, but Canterbury won by three wickets.[3]
