Cyril Cooper 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]
After playing grade cricket in Sydney, Hopkins moved to Dunedin in 1908.[2] In the Plunket Shield in 1911–12 he 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.[3] Opening the batting, he scored 132, exactly double the next-highest score in the match, but Canterbury won by three wickets.[4]
Hopkins returned to Sydney in 1913, just when he was contending for a place in the New Zealand team.[5] He married Thelma Rickaby in Brisbane in January 1924.[6]
