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’.
