Penrith Metro Cup Premiers 2015-16

After finishing as Premiers in the 2014/15 season, the goal again for the baby faced colts was to once again take it out & make it back to back premierships for the mighty cats!

With a lot of new faces making their debuts for the club and the average age being only 16, to the boy’s credit, they held their own!

St George DCC and its Rugby League Connections Part V - Lyall Wall and Bill Ives

Lyall Wall is a name unfamiliar even to devoted followers of cricket and rugby league, yet he holds a unique and precious place in the history of both St George clubs. Born at Birchgrove and beginning his sporting life with Balmain, Wall has the remarkable distinction of being a member of both the First Grade cricket and rugby league teams when they entered elite competition in 1921

A Keystone Match in the history of Parramatta District Cricket Club

In many ways the most seminal milestone in the Club’s history occurred in 1843 - the first officially confirmed and published account and scoresheet of a Parramatta District Cricket Club match.

Though it is known that the Parramatta Club had engaged in earlier unreported contests or those mentioned in newspapers didn’t supply match score details – the 1843 match against the Liverpool Cricket Club authenticated the existence of the club and is generally acknowledged as the genesis of the Parramatta Club.

The David Watson story represents a very sad moment in the Parramatta District Cricket Club’s enduring history. It is about a young 23-year man with a glowing future as a cricketer and journalist beckoning, only for it to be snatched away by a tragic road accident.

Within hours of appointment to a senior editorial position with one of the Cumberland Newspapers’ major publications, the rising young journalist and gifted cricketer David William Thomas Watson, that many experts touted as a definite State player of the near-future, perished on Wednesday 22 March 1961when his new sedan crashed against a roadside tree on North Rocks Road, Parramatta – his childhood friend Kerry Alexander also killed in this accident.

5 or more wickets in first 1st Grade game for Gordon District Cricket Club

Since the Gordon District Cricket Club came into existence in 1905, there have been 635 people who have played 1st Grade. Of those, only 11 have taken 5 (or more) wickets in their first game. These are those players.

Keith McPhillamy played only three 1st Grade games. In his first game (3/3/1906), on the Sydney Cricket Ground against Middle Harbour (Manly) he took 5-47.

Emma Rippon - Penrith Cricket Club

My journey started one lunchtime at primary school when I was about 10 years old. The school cricket team trials were on, and all my friends were trying out. Unfortunately, I didn’t get in the first year, but fast forward to the second year, I got in and ended up going to the Western trials later in the term. I was an extremely shy kid and all my friends had bailed, so I was upset. On top of that I ended up stacking it on the asphalt cricket pitch, leaving my knees and hands scratched. It was only about 20 minutes into the trials, and I already wanted to go home. I toughed it out and stayed at the trials.

Pat started his NSW Premier Cricket connection with the Parramatta Club in the 2022/23 season and to date his bowling exploits have already yielded 109 wickets at a highly a worthy average of 18.71.

My cricket caps, my journey - Rob Wilson

Whether it was my first ever cricket cap, a Waverley District Cricket Club hat I received as a 12-year-old in 1994, or my Waverley College 1st XI cap I would earn a few years later, they both represent different stages for me. One where I had no idea what I was doing and the other, where I thought I knew what I was doing. Just ask some old coaches haha.

My Best Grade team - Mick McMahon 1980 to 1996

I moved from Lismore to Sydney with my older brother Brian in 1980 where we both joined the Balmain District Cricket Club. My 1st Grade debut for Balmain was the opening game of that season against Manly Warringah at Graham Reserve Manly, I was 19 years old.

Two years later we both moved from Balmain to the North Sydney District Cricket Club for the 1982/83 season. My final game in 1st Grade for North Sydney was in the 1995/96 season. Below (in batting order) is my selection of the best combined 1st Grade X1 that I, as a modest player, was fortunate enough to play with during that period:-

UTS North Sydney Women's Third Grade Season Wrap for 2025-26

The Women’s Third Grade 2025/26 campaign proved just how much the side has grown, and continued to support women and girls, of all backgrounds, playing and loving cricket.

When I started playing senior cricket at the Bears, there was only a very young and inexperienced Brewers team, and a Third Grade Women’s team. Over the past 4 - 5 seasons the participation, and genuine competitiveness, of the women’s side of the club has grown immensely.
