Sidney Alfred Cope (12 August 1904 – 14 April 1986) was an English cricketer. Cope was a left-handed batsman who bowled left-arm fast. He was born at Hastings, Sussex.
Cope made a single first-class appearance for Kent against Gloucestershire in the 1924 County Championship at Mote Park, Maidstone.[1] Gloucestershire won the toss and elected to bat first, making 213 all out, with Cope taking the wicket of Gloucestershire captain Douglas Robinson to finish with figures of 1/27 from seven overs. Kent responded in their first-innings by making 295 all out, during which Cope was dismissed for a duck by George Dennett. Gloucestershire then made 92 all out in their second-innings, setting Kent a target of 11 for victory, which Kent reached for the loss of two wickets.[2] This was his only major appearance for Kent.
He died at Dartford, Kent, on 14 April 1986.
