Two Randy Petes faced off in the match with Adam Semple representing NSW and Burt Cockley WA and Randy Petes Legend Bobby Barter as Room Attendant extraordinaire.

For Sempie the 2012-13 season was marked by his appointment as First Grade skipper and in his first match at the helm had a convincing win in the State Challenge Shield, with an inexperienced side after losing four first-class players from the previous season, over the country champions Illawarra at Kensington Oval. Adam went on to lead his young charges to wins in the first three matches bolstered by his own selection in the NSW Second XI team where he hit scores of 103* (on debut v WA), 73* and 56*. Burt had just made the shift to WA to continue his First Class career with the Warriors.

The creation of a St George DCC Hall of Fame at the Norm O’Neill Indoor Facility has been, as expected, an unbridled success, with inductees honoured and often emotional at their inclusion. It also reinforces St George’s status as a leading producer of outstanding Premier, State and International cricketers. Additionally, if is a constant reminder to young players training at the Norm O’Neill Centre of the skill and talent of their local predecessors, hopefully instilling in them an increased desire to train hard and succeed.

I race over to our scorer and immediately inquire "Who is this kid?". The nearby Penrith scorer obliges and says "That's Patrick Cummins. He's quick isn't he". That was a statement of the obvious.

The second ball thunders into Lee Kirk's pad. Lee had barely time to raise his bat and must have been perilously close to be given out. But he survives. Much to the annoyance of the fielding side from whom he cops a bit of a spray. But Patrick doesn't say a word of dissent. Just goes about his business. Bowling fast.

St George Cricket Club

The past one hundred and two seasons of the St George DCC has seen only 12 regular wicket keepers ply their craft behind the stumps in 1st Grade at Hurstville Oval and beyond. For those wicket keepers they have kept to some quality bowlers meaning that their game and efficiency behind the stumps has invariably developed.

In that time there have surprisingly been only two keepers, David Moore and Nathan Pilon, who have been selected to represent at a first-class level, albeit fleetingly. During the period eight keepers have kept for long periods. Ernie Laidler (29 seasons ), Ray Tozer (17 seasons) David Moore (10 seasons), Paul Ryan (7 seasons), Nathan Pilon (7 seasons) Kevin Pillay (10 seasons) and recently Jonathan Rose (5 seasons) and Tom Van Tempest (4 seasons).

In the Club’s early seasons, we fielded teams in the “A” and “B” Grade competitions of what was known as the Municipal & Shires competition (now Shires). On 3 February 1968, the “B” Shires team played Ryde at Sutherland Oval in a one-day match. Captain Max Silva won the toss and sent Ryde in to bat. Young tearaway pace bowler Paul McCann was making his debut for the club and had a strong southerly at his back. However, it was the gentle medium pace of Geoff Glover that bamboozled the Ryde batsmen. Hooping his inswingers into the strong breeze, he was nearly unplayable as he took 8-6 off 4.7 overs.

Randwick Petersham is fortunate to have had so many dedicated and capable founding fathers. Petersham had Sydney Smith (60+ years), Randwick had Os Taylor (60+ years), Petersham-Marrickville had Dudley Seddon (60+) and Jack Ross (55) while Marrickville had Bert Bicknell, who was such a dedicated clubman, he virtually lived for the club in the latter part of his life.

Burbury Herbert “Bert” Bicknell originally played for Petersham joining that club in 1912-13 aged 25. He was principally a lower grade batsman playing in the 2nd and 3rd Grade teams for nine seasons totalling 2,681 runs with a top score of 114 in 1915-16. He made his 1st Grade debut in 1914-15 playing just a handful of games for 112 runs with 35 his best score. In 1920-21 he had his first taste of cricket administration by representing Petersham as a delegate to the NSW Cricket Association.

Cricket Coach

Whilst at training this week, players were asking about the challenges of using many coaches, some parents are very keen for their daughters to peak early, i.e. play first grade in Sydney asap, pressure to make CNSW teams... As we work together to support the growth and development of our young cricketers, I wanted to address an important consideration regarding the use of multiple coaches.

While it’s natural to seek the best possible guidance for your child, having too many coaches can sometimes present challenges.

Different coaches may have varying philosophies and techniques. This can sometimes lead to conflicting advice, which might confuse young players rather than help them develop a clear and consistent approach.

It’s essential for young cricketers to develop their own style and instincts. While learning from various coaches can be beneficial, too much input can hinder the natural development of their unique skills.

A coach’s role goes beyond teaching skills, it’s also about mentorship and building a trusting relationship. Focusing on one or two coaches allows for a deeper connection, enabling the coach to understand your child’s strengths, areas for improvement, and personality better.

Below is State and International players, as coaches we encourage a balanced approach.

The players in the photo are: Phoebe Litchfield, Emma Hughes, Elsa Hunter and Beth Lane... all playing at the high performance end of our game
