The North Sydney Bears in 2016

UTS North Sydney District Cricket Club | February 04, 2026

Jumping on the bandwagon of 2016 flashbacks, in this photo gallery we show a few familiar Bears faces back then, courtesy of longstanding photographer and Life Member, Tony Johnson.

First and foremost, Robbie Aitken reached the amazing milestone of 400 First Grade appearances in Round 14 of 2015/16 against Sutherland, which was marked by the Sydney Cricket Association and captured in our cover photo. In late 2021, Robbie went on to become the first player to appear in 500 First Grade matches in Premier Cricket in Australia.

Robbie's presentation took place at Tunks Park, because North Sydney Oval was out of action for much of the season with the square being re-laid and a drop-in wicket installed.

Robbie’s First Grade team-mates in 2015/16 included his brothers, James and Glenn, and other current and recent former Bears, James Campbell, Patrick Lindsay, Olly Knight and Tom Jagot.
