Fred Parfitt

Frederick Charles Parfitt (12 August 1869 - 20 March 1953) was a Welsh international rugby union scrum-half who played club rugby for Newport, regional rugby for Somerset and was capped nine times for Wales. He first played for the local club Pontnewydd before joining Newport, where he partnered Percy Phillips at scrum-half. Selected for the 1893 Home Nations Championship, he played in all three games of a campaign in which Wales won every match and took the Triple Crown for the first time in the country's history. In 1894 he scored a try against England, his only international points, and his last cap came in 1896 away to Ireland. After retiring from rugby union he switched to bowls and also represented Wales in that sport.
