Edward Peake

Edward Peake (29 March 1860 – 3 January 1945) was a Wales international rugby union three-quarter and county cricketer.

[dubious – discuss] Peake first played rugby at Marlborough College, before representing Oxford, though he did not win a sporting Blue.

[5] Peake played at three-quarters alongside the team captain James Bevan, in a game that quickly turned into a national embarrassment when England scored 13 tries without reply.

[6] Peake later played a single game for first-class Welsh team Newport RFC, but his rugby career would be cut short after a hurdling accident at Oxford.

At Oriel College he joined the University cricket team, playing from the 1880 season through to 1883, winning a Sporting Blue.
