Matthew Halse on Ronnie and Scorch: An Enduring Legacy

Left to Right: Rod Evans, Matthew Halse, and Ron Halse with the Poidevin-Gray Shield.

The early 90s was to be the dawn of one of the Club’s most important, successful and enduring legacies. Although Ron Halse and Rodney “Scorch” Evans were already well known to each other, this was to be the beginning of a long partnership, both on and off the field, which continues to this day.

Matt Lewis joined Burnside West Christchurch University CC in the over the winter from Old Boys Collegians. Matt sports a swimmer's build, bowls like the wind and hits it miles. These three facets have played a part in the 21-year-old's inclusion in the Canterbury 'A' setup, where the Christ's College old boy is chasing higher honours.

We sat down with Matt and asked how he was settling in to life on Avonhead Road.

Keeping it in the Family - Penrith Cricket Club

The photo above is a photo of the Penrith Fourths in 1978/79. It reflects a family influence(*) that would impact on the Club in the decades ahead. Fathers and sons, and, even grandsons are likely to perpetuate a typical spirit. Lose it, and the danger is you can lose that certain something that keeps a Club buzzing. Players (back row, l to r) are: N Greenway, Ian Wyatt, John Klincke*, Jon Llewelyn; (front row) Rod Vernon, Pat Doyle*, Trevor Wholohan*, Tony Diaczok, Paul Thomas*, David Blake*. John Klincke is the father of Jacqueline-Marie, who was a member of the Penrith Women’s Brewer Shield winning team in 2011/12;

Beth Lane, Cap #55 - Penrith Cricket Club

My cricket journey began the same as most – in the backyard with my brothers. I played for Springwood as a junior and Penrith women’s as soon as I could, moving to First Grade. I also played in the NSW Academy as a junior and then got contracted with the Tassie Tigers, moving to Hobart and playing for the New Town Bucks. I have moved back to Sydney this year, and I’m looking forward to another season at Penrith Cricket Club!

Brett Rosen - a renowned Gordon wicket keeper batsman

While the name Rosen has been synonymous with the Gordon District Cricket Club since the arrival of a young batsman in the 1960’s by the name of Marshall Rosen, who went on to score 5,936 First Grade Runs and become a legendary administrator for both the club and for the NSWCA, his son Brett also had an exceptional career with the Gordon club.

Jason Coleman can best be described as a dyed-in-the-wool ‘cricket tragic’, the complete devotee of the game. Originally a Kings Langley junior player he has dedicated his entire adult life to partaking in cricket related escapades. His ongoing romance with cricket has, over the past three decades, seen him playing non-stop Grade and Shires cricket in Sydney (plus Coaching) during the Australian summer, and then jetting-off to England to play, coach and work in cricket administration in the U.K. league and minor counties competitions over the English summer.

ON THIS DAY, 25th October, 1986, Waratahs 2nd grade made more than 300 after tea to make their record highest team total of 7-491, mainly thanks to hundreds by Matt Campbell (#363) and David Laurence (#455). Graham Frost (#333) made an elegant 1st grade hundred on the next door ground and back in 1958, Tony Morriss (#78) with 11-34, became the first B grade player to take ten or more wickets in a match.

Tim McMahon was a product of the highly regarded Kings Langley junior club. The tall right-hander was a batsman with talent to burn. A knock-about-bloke who enjoyed a bet, a beer and either a cricket bat or racing form guide in his hand. Many observers felt that with a more disciplined focus, he would have ascended to first-class cricket – he did in fact play for the NSW 2nd eleven.

Either opening or in the middle-order he had the ability to tear bowling attacks apart, through the sheer power and aggression of his entertaining stroke play. A batsman with the ability to warrant a place in the Parramatta (Cumberland) teams of any era.

St George DCC In Between Balls with Tom Forrester

Tom Forrester will perhaps be famously remembered by some as the guy that stood at the other end for the majority of Sam Konstas' monumental 795 runs on the way to a Green Shield premiership in the season of 2021-22. Some perhaps don't know that it was actually Tom that took out the player of the match in the hard fought final against Northern District.

BWCUCC History Series: Amalgamation and War Years

In the early decades of the 20th century, world events shaped Christchurch cricket as much as local rivalries. The two World Wars and the Great Depression took a heavy toll on clubs at Hagley Park, but they also forged a determination to endure.

Club historians note that in the 1900s, merging teams in the wake of “depressions and World Wars” was considered “paramount to maintaining the standard of local cricket”. In practice, this meant smaller clubs had to combine resources if they wanted to field full teams and keep competition alive at Hagley.

What can you do to help the captains in your team or club become better captains?

The captain is the most influential player on any cricket field.

Every decision they make has an impact and an outcome.

A good captain makes the game fun, inspiring others to play better and enjoy it more.

Yet there’s never been a real coaching or education resource to help captains lead better. Until now.

Welcome to the BeaconPoint Cricket: The Captains Circle.
