Northbridge Cricket Club is Recruiting New Players

Have you:

• Stepped away from grade cricket but still feel the urge to get back out there?
• Taken a break from cricket and miss playing with your mates?
• Just finished school and unsure what’s next for your cricketing journey?
• Over 40 and keen for a weekend hit on turf?
• Simply looking for some fun, fitness, and camaraderie with a great group?

We’re Northbridge Cricket Club, entering our 105th season, and we’re on the lookout for new players! Whether you're a seasoned player or a beginner, we have a spot for you in one of our 5 teams playing in the Northern Cricket Union competition—the strongest community cricket competition outside Premier/Grade and Shires cricket in Sydney.

With 2 turf teams and 3 astro-turf teams (4th Grade, 6th Grade, and D One Day), we welcome cricketers of all skill levels, from casual players to local legends. We’re also proud to field a team in the Sydney Over 40’s Masters competition, played on some of the best turf grounds in Sydney on alternate weekends.

But more than just cricket, we’re looking for good people to enjoy our Saturdays (and occasionally Saturday evenings!) with. We understand that life is busy, and you may not want to commit to playing every week—no worries, we can work with that! Whether you’re after a casual hit or something more serious, we’ll make cricket work for you.

If you’re keen to join or just want to chat about the club, the game, or even meet for a beer at our sponsor pub, North Sydney Hotel, drop us a message on Facebook, email us at executive@northbridgecricketclub.org, or register here:

Flying into Kingsford Smith Airport for some people can be somewhat daunting. We have a St George cricketer to thank for the well laid out runways. With knowledge of aeronautics, our cricketer has ensured that over the past eighty years planes have landed on the north south or the east west runway correctly. This was due to the location of the runways, consideration of possible varying climatic conditions and their construction. The design, and responsibility was that of the former St George cricketer, Harold Fraser.

That same name is also familiar to those cricketers in Sydney who have played at Harold Fraser Oval, Carss Park. It was named in honour of the service provided by Fraser to the St George community on 25th August 1979.

The next time you hear a Newcastle district cricketer whinge about traveling over the Stockton Bridge or down to Toronto for an away game, mention Ian Redpath.

The Stockton & Northern Districts batsman was without a doubt the most committed cricketer in town in the 2012-13.

During the 2012-13 pre-season, Redpath emailed every club in Newcastle requesting a chance to play.

Six replied, and because he had relatives in Stockton and an offer from the club to provide accommodation if required, Redpath chose the Seagulls.

Those of you who love to read about cricket will no doubt share the view that Australia has always been blessed with fine, thoughtful writers to rival the best from anywhere in the cricket universe - Fingleton and Knox come to mind and certainly the great philosophical writers like Roebuck and the prolific wordsmith Gideon Haigh.

This Conversation with Sarah Kanowski has all of the usually careful construction of Haigh speaking or writing but the feelings are something new and at times unsettling. The book is “My Brother Jazz” (Melbourne University Press 2024).

Tahs members from Armidale, the original home of Waratahs Cricket Club from 1950-2006, met for lunch and fair splattering of what they could remember of how good they were.

Pictured from left are Mike Porter, former Easts stalwart and the main reason cricket still has breath in the Northern Tablelands town; Tahs Secretary Peter Langston from Tamworth, just a hundred clicks south on the New England Highway; Graham Frost, champion from Waratahs sides of the late 70’s and early 80’s; and the newest member of the Tahs, Garry Holloway, who has become the new club’s low marker, as the holder of the lowest membership number of the old Waratahs having first played nearly sixty years ago in his early teens.

The late great Richie Benaud said, ‘Being a Captain is 90 per cent luck and 10 per cent hard work.’ And we know that the harder you work the luckier you get in sport. And so on a wintery day last year I had the luck of being asked to Captain 4th Grade for the upcoming season.

To begin, I’ll start with a few thank you’s.

Firstly, a big thank you to Peter Speirs or Speirsy as he’s known by most. He took the reins at the beginning of the season while I nursed an injury for a few rounds. Very grateful for his willingness to do this. But also, very thankful for his sage advice and sense checking before, during and after matches throughout the season. He has an invaluable experience that I was very grateful to be able to tap into.

Overall it was a positive step forward from the 1s squad this season in comparison to the previous couple of seasons. With largely the same squad leading into the season plus a few new additions in the way of James Dallaway, overseas recruit Johny Hardman and the returning Simon Read adding extra quality to the side.

Kicking the season off with a narrow loss to Warringah despite some positive performances including Sarmad’s destructive 68 off 38 and Dan Miles 44* we just ran out of wickets falling short. The first victory came in comprehensive style against Pennant Hills, Luke Watson setting the foundations with 73, allowing other batters to play freely setting the game up for day 2. The bowling unit came out firing bundling Penno out for 39 with Dan Miles taking 5 fa 4 off 6 overs. Pushing for outright all the way to the end of the day but finishing 2 wickets short.
