Nandhiga Pandian - don’t waste it trying to live someone else’s life

I started my cricket journey in 2023, fresh into high school. I started off playing in the Thunder Girls league for Freemans Reach every Friday evening, which helped me understand the basics of cricket while giving me my first-ever match experiences. From there, I joined Jordan Springs Cricket Club and played a season in winter, and then I launched into under 12’s for the summer.

Parramatta District Cricket Club (Cumberland) Initial First Grade Premiership 1899-1900

The strong nucleus of this team had been together for several seasons, narrowly missing premiership honours in 1894/95 and 1896/97, and with First-class players in Howell, Pye, Wilson, Farquhar, Loveridge and Waddy in its ranks, the winning of the Hordern Shield was somewhat inevitable, and success finally arrived in 1899/00.

The Parramatta District Cricket Club appears to have unearthed another exciting young batting prospect in rangy right-handed opening batsman Juhith Rajesidhiraju.

The 2025/26 was one to remember for the young tyro, he scored heavily in the Parramatta Associate’s Under 15 Weblin Shield rep team and he performed solidly in P.D.C.C.’s A.W. Green Shield compiling 199 runs @ 22.11 at the head of the order (H.S. – 70 v. Gordon, 40 v. N.D.) – he shaped promisingly in this series and after his Fifth grade performances this season the club looks forward to his contribution in next years A.W. Green Shield campaign.

Ask AI: Which Gordon DCC Stag has scored the most ducks for the club?

There is no official published list of career ducks (zeros) for Gordon players. The club's records focus on runs, wickets, catches, centuries, batting averages, bowling averages and other milestones, but not ducks.

However, the most likely candidates would be long-serving players who batted low in the order and played hundreds of innings, such as:

Greg Monaghan is a classic example of the dedicated volunteers, from all clubs, that have devoted their skills, time and energy towards maintaining a place in the celebrated NSW Premier Cricket Competition for their own clubs. Throughout its history this competition has spawned many of the greatest names to have appeared in Australian cricket – e.g. Don Bradman, Bill O’Reilly, Ray Lindwall, Bob Simpson, the Waugh brothers, Jeff Thomson, Doug Walters, Steve Smith, David Warner, Pat Cummings etc.

Greg has served the Parramatta District Cricket club initially on the field as a player, and then later as an administrator.

AFTER passing the 10,000 mark for the total number of runs scored in Sydney grade cricket, Rod Bower has set his next target — 12,120.

“I figure another three seasons,” said Penrith’s eight-season veteran, who will be 35 next week.

That would make him the highest scorer of all time in a competition which is steeped in tradition, having moved up to 11th place and within 68 runs of Australian coach Bob Simpson.

Gordon District Cricket Club Third Grade Premiers 1940-41

The 1940–41 season was heavily affected by World War II. Many senior players had enlisted in the armed forces. Consequently, clubs relied more heavily on younger players and club stalwarts and player availability changed throughout the season.

Cricket lost a great servant when Perce Hargreaves passed away in 1991 at the age of 80. After the idea of a turf pitch main ground in the Penrith District was first mooted in 1948, Hargreaves and a friend Jack Maiden worked tirelessly to convince Council to proceed.

It came to pass in 1956 and was known as the ‘Penrith Turf’.

Manly Warringah 1969-70 3rd Grade Premiers

Under the leadership of captain Keith Fitzpatrick, the side produced a strong and disciplined season, culminating in a hard-fought grand final appearance against Sutherland at Manly Oval.

The decider began with Manly taking first use of the wicket, compiling a competitive total of 267 on the opening day. However, any opportunity for a result was ultimately denied, as persistent rain washed out play on the Sunday, leaving the match without a definitive conclusion.

Manorath Gill - Penrith Cricket Club

What’s been your most memorable moment in cricket so far?

My most memorable moment would be playing in and scoring 50+ in the Brewer Shield Grand Final. We lost a couple of early wickets, and I knew to get a competitive total we had to bat the full 50 overs. All of us – players, parents and coaches – had worked so hard to get to that point and even though we didn’t get the intended result, it was a phenomenal experience.
