A right-handed batsman, Boundy batted in the middle order in both of his first-class games, the first being the Whitsun game against Gloucestershire at the County Ground, Taunton in 1926, and the other the away fixture with Cambridge University at Fenner's in 1930. In none of his four first-class innings did he make much impact and his top score of 10 not out was made against occasional bowlers in his last first-class innings.[2]
Boundy was an accountant by profession and a long-standing member of Somerset County Cricket Club committees.[3] He scored many runs in club cricket for Taunton Cricket Club, including more than 1,000 in the 1929 season alone.[3]
