Aidan Thomas Lyons (December 1878 - 12 February 1910) was a South African cricketer. He played in thirteen first-class matches for Eastern Province between 1902/03 and 1908/09.[1]
Lyons was one of Eastern Province's most reliable players during the 1900s.[2] In the quarter-final of the Currie Cup in 1904–05, he opened the batting and scored 37, when no one else for Eastern Province reached 20, and Western Province's highest was only 42.[3] His best bowling figures were 7 for 56 and 6 for 23 against Griqualand West in the 1902–03 Currie Cup; eight of his victims were bowled.[4] He took 7 for 66 and carried his bat for 31 not out for a Port Elizabeth XV against the touring MCC in 1905–06.[5]
He died after a long illness in hospital in Queenstown in February 1910, aged 31.[2]
