Cricket

The right-hander made three appearances in New South Wales's winning 1928/29 Sheffield Shield campaign.[6] His best performance came against Queensland at the Sydney Cricket Ground, where he made a pair of half centuries (80 and 59).[7] Also that summer, Seddon played a first-class match against Tasmania in Hobart and scored a career best 134.[8] It was his final first-class innings.
