Seymour was born at Dublin in January 1906, and was educated in the city at the Masonic Boys' School.[1] Playing his club cricket for Clontarf,[1] Seymour made his debut in first-class cricket for Ireland against Scotland at Dublin in 1927.[2] He made two further first-class appearances in 1928, against the touring West Indians at Dublin, and Scotland at Edinburgh.[2] In the 1928 match against Scotland, he was no-balled for throwing, and did not play for Ireland again.[1] Playing as a fast-medium bowler, he took four wickets in his three first-class matches, with best figures of 2/26.[3] Outside of cricket, he worked for Gouldings' Fertilisers.[1] He died at Dublin in December 1980.[1]
