Randwick Petersham won its 5th 1st Grade Twenty20 premiership at Coogee Oval when it defeated a brave Gordon side in the Grand Final of the Kingsgrove Sports Twenty20 Cup, 4-155 (18.4 overs) to 8-152 (20 overs). And while the match was played in cloudy and gloomy conditions after parts of Sydney had been deluged by up to 75mm of rain overnight, the game produced all the excitement and tension that a T20 Grand Final can do.

Batting first after winning the toss, it was high drama when Daniel Sams clean bowled the Stags skipper, Tym Crawford, with the very first ball. But it was almost 10 overs later before the hosts could claim a second wicket when Jason Ralston bowled Axel Cahlin (38 off 27 balls with 2 fours and 3 sixes) for a 2-66 scoreline. Trystan Kennedy (28 off 33) went 7 runs later although a 56 runs partnership which followed, put Gordon’s nose in front.

Nev Paulsen connection with Western Suburbs District Cricket Club dates back 40 odd years, firstly as a player and then as a supporter of his 3 sons who have played for the club.

What’s been your most memorable moment in cricket so far?

Being involved in the selection and development of young cricketers in Queensland who have gone on to represent at state and national level as well as the establishment of the Eddie Gilbert Cricket Program to find and develop Indigenous Cricketers. (After my retirement from Queensland Cricket unfortunately the program was discontinued).

Week 7 – ‘The Opening Spell’

Rain, rain go away! A wet weather affected weekend of McDonald’s NSW Premier Cricket couldn’t stop the bowlers from showing up.

First ball – Big Bash meets little bash!

Colloquially referred to as the ‘little bash’, NSW Premier Cricket’s Kingsgrove Sports T20 Cup came to a spectacular conclusion at Coogee Oval over the weekend. Randwick Petersham chased Gordon’s total of 8/152 with eight balls to spare, thanks to a crisp display of hitting from Sydney Thunder’s Daniel Sams (42 from 30) and Alex Ross (43 from 33), as well as Brisbane Heat’s Jack Wood (25 from 19). The Randy Pete's trio plundered six 4s and seven 6s between them, to secure the trophy for a record fifth time.

Western Suburbs District Cricket Club turned 100 in May 2021 and over 250 players and friends of the club commemorated the milestone with a lunch for the ages at Graceville Memorial Park. A marquee was erected in front of the iconic 85 year old grandstand and the crowd included a great contingent of players from the 1960s & '70s, many of whom hadn't seen each other for decades. Without doubt the star of the show was 91 year old former Queensland batsman Jack McLaughlin who has lived in Graceville for over 80 years and first played for the club in 1947. Not even a broken rib could prevent him from topping the bill in a panel of former club captains comprising John Loxton, Carl Rackemann & Jon Dooley. Wests is also one of the strongest women's clubs in world cricket and the ladies were well represented by its international players including Jodie Fields & Melissa Bulow.

Celebrations continued long into the night and the event showcased the importance of club cricket. 15 May 2021 will go down as yet another superb day in the 100 year history of a great cricket club.

My Best Grade team – Steve Paulsen 1998 to 2020

I started playing 1st Grade for Western Suburbs as a 17 year-old in 1998 and still playing today in the shorter forms of the game. I have been lucky enough to play in a number finals and win a few over the years as well.

Over the past 21 seasons I have been lucky enough to play with some great players and it was extremely hard to come up with my Best Grade team but here goes.

In batting order:
1. Andrew Bailey
Left hand batter who scored in different areas and was very disciplined when he trained and batted in the middle

As Bathurst-Orange competition has been reinvigorated, we sat down with past players that competed in the Bathurst Orange Inter District Competition.

Our guest today was former Centennials All-Rounder Adam Webber. Adam was a part of the dominant Centennials team of the 1990s.

Who was the best individual opponent you played against?

Tough question because every team had a couple of really excellent players. Kirk Yates from St Pats, Paul Toole from Rugby Union, Craig Howard and Bruce Webb from ORC, Paul Clancy from City Colts just to name a few.

My top 6 performances from opposition players in Sydney grade Cricket – Neil Evans

As a 1st grade top order player for North Sydney from 1987 to 1994, here's the 6 stand-out performances from opposition players that still stick in my mind...

Michael Bevan (Campbelltown)
His first game in Sydney for Campbelltown in 1990/9. We won the game, but he made 70 with his eyes shut. If we hadn't run him out with a direct hit, he would have made 370.

Dean Waugh (Bankstown)
Early season game at Bankstown in 1988/89 Dean made 99 and nothing missed the middle of the bat. It was so majestic that in a team with many good players that made runs that day, his innings was easily the best.

Glenn McGrath (Sutherland)
You know it, off the fence under bad light with a southerly buster at his back he was ruthless and quick. In 1991/92 season he took a bag of 7 wickets. For a moment I thought I was on top reaching 30 until the middle pole was sent cartwheeling

Graeme Smith (St George)
We had them struggling at Hurstville in 1990/91 until Smithy peeled off a delightful tonne batting 6

Ron Davis (Fairfield)
I had some great battles with Ronny, and it was probably all square at the end but one early season clash at home he bowled the most delightful spell of aggressive fast medium seam stuff. He only ended up with 2 or 3 wickets, but he deserved 7 for that day

Paul Pritchard (Waverley
We had them 2 down for nothing until PP carved out a wonderful 170. Shots to every point in the ground but we did drop him on 11.
