THE SEMIS - A Grade v Churches 1968
Waratahs bowled well, with Tom Cooke and Bruce Kellaway rampant, but again the batting had the wobbly boot on. The win secured after some fingernail biting, John Roberts mad on of two A grade half centuries.

The Colours of the Summer Cats - Penrith Cricket Club

For its first 17 seasons (1973-74 to 1989-90), Penrith Cricket Club’s colours were brown and white, following the Panthers Rugby League.

In 1991, the Panthers Rugby League team changed its colours, thus consigning to the dustbin of sporting history the term ‘Chocolate Soldiers’, a put-down used by inner city clubs. The Panthers would now wear jerseys of black, with green and red piping, and a splash of yellow, earning another nickname – the ‘Liquorice Allsorts’.

THE SEMIS - A Grade v Hillgrove 1981
This wasn't a game for the faint hearted, with Waratahs winning on the first innings with opener Michael Connolly (#293) and last man Wes Davis (#386) at the wicket ... and then only just avoiding the outright as Gavin Gillard and Peter Hickey took 16 of the 17 shakey wickets to fall.

Flashback - North Sydney win the 2010/11 Second Grade Premiership

In 2010/11, the North Sydney Bears won the Second Grade Premiership with a famous reverse-outright Grand Final win over local rivals, Gordon. Conceding a 70-run deficit on first innings, we made 8d/264 in the second dig and bowled the Stags out for 108, to win by a crushing 86 runs. Topping off his final season in 2s before being called up to First Grade, James Campbell took 9/66 for the match.

Below we share the scorecard and then the report from the 2011 Annual Report by captain, Matt Burton.

Craig Simmons: From Record-Breaker at Gordon to Big Bash Legend - Part 2

His breakthrough came during the 2013/14 season when he replaced the injured Liam Davis in the Perth Scorchers squad. What followed was nothing short of extraordinary. In his fourth game for the Scorchers, against Adelaide Strikers in mid-January 2014, Simmons demolished the bowling attack, reaching his century in just 39 balls - the fastest century in Big Bash League history

Craig Simmons: From Record-Breaker at Gordon to Big Bash Legend Part 1

When Craig Simmons arrived at Gordon for the 2005/06 season, the left-handed batsman from Western Australia brought with him considerable promise. Having represented Australia at the 2002 Under-19 World Cup, where he smashed 155 runs from 115 balls against Kenya, Simmons had already shown his ability to dominate bowling attacks.

His move to Gordon coincided with his transfer to New South Wales for state cricket, and the arrangement worked perfectly for both club and player.

Shree Swarup Penrith First Grade Cap #71

What do you enjoy most about playing cricket?

What I enjoy most about playing cricket is how competitiveness and teamwork work hand in hand. Cricket is naturally a very competitive sport where every player wants to perform and push themselves to be better. That competitive drive lifts the standard of the whole team and creates an environment where everyone is striving to improve.

Billy Makin - St George's forgotten first class cricketer

“Hello sir. I have been told that you played for New South Wales. Is that right?”

“Well that is correct son, but it was a long time ago. I’ll tell you the full story one day, but it might take a while.”

Did Makin make it well known that he was, in fact, a former first class cricketer who had played two matches for New South Wales way back in 1910-11?

Gordon's Green Shield Legacy: Forging Champions Since 1937 - Part 2

Breaking Through Again

The breakthrough came in 1986-87, when Gordon claimed joint premiership with Sutherland—their first title in thirty-one years. The drought ended not through overwhelming dominance but through character and resilience, qualities the club had never stopped cultivating.

Captain Warwick Adlam led a team unbeaten in the rounds for three consecutive seasons.

Led by club stalwart Ryan Bonner, the team combined experienced campaigners such as Aidan Baker and Andrew Lindsay with emerging talents including Dylan Marshall—who represented NSW Under-19s that season—and Javed Badyari.

Gordon's Green Shield Legacy: Forging Champions Since 1937 - Part 1

Gordon's Green Shield story begins modestly. Runners-up in that inaugural 1937-38 season, the club showed early promise without dominating. Then came the 1950s, and with it, a period of excellence that would define junior cricket in Sydney.

Three premierships in six seasons (1950-51, 1951-52, and joint premiers in 1955-56) established Gordon as a powerhouse. But the numbers tell only part of the story. Behind this success stood two grade cricket veterans—Harry Crow and Jack Prowse—who understood that champions weren't born, they were carefully cultivated.
