Q: North Tasmania Cricket Association Hall Of Fame Inductee - Mark Nutting

The recent Cricket North Presentation Function was a special one for the Knights with club legend, Mark Nutting, being inducted into the NTCA Hall Of Fame!

Mark/Nuttsy/Zero is SLCC 1st Grade men’s player #587. He played a whopping 26 seasons for the Knights between 1988 and 2018.

He finished his playing career as our all time leading games and 1st Grade runs record holder. Both records he holds to this day.

Mark's career stats and achievements:
322 games (SLCC record)
10,150 runs at 31.23 (SLCC record)
275 wickets at 19.70
13 x 100s, 53 x 50s
5 x Cedric Knight Medallist
7 x Club Champion

Mark also played 3 seasons for Lindisfarne in the TCA during the middle of his career. He broke the TCA record at the time for the most runs in a season and won a premiership in his 1st season. Mark played around 20 x 2nd XI games for Tasmania during this period.

Mark joins fellow SLCC greats Shaun Young, Cedric Knight, Ron Williams, Ron Thomas, Max Thomas, Tom Room, Ian Young & George Bailey in the Hall of Fame.

This is a fantastic acknowledgement of an exceptional Knight!

On behalf of everyone at the Knights, congrats Nuttsy and very well deserved!
