Whilst it may seem a little pre-emptive to feature a 19 year old in our ‘Interview with a Champion’ series, it is not inaccurate. In the past season alone, young Rafael Macmillan captained NSW to victory at the Under 19 national championships, before being one of five New South Welshman to be selected for the Australian Under 19 tour of England.

Success in England was followed up by selection for the Under 19 World Cup which was eventually held in South Africa. In the World Cup final, Raf took a three wicket haul against India to end Australia’s 14 year drought at the tournament. To top it all off, Raf returned home to help end an 11 year drought, winning the Belvidere Cup with the dominant St George first grade squad.

Whilst we are sad to see Raf depart for Tasmania, we are incredibly excited to see what he can achieve in the Apple Isle on his rookie contract.

The 1994-95 Centenary Season - Western Suburbs District Cricket Club

Western Suburbs limped unconvincingly towards its centenary season in 1994-95. First Grade finished 18th in 1991-92, then 13th and 15th, and the Sydney Cricket Association's Committee of Management made no secret of the fact that it believed there was no future for Wests in the Grade competition. No-one outside of the club expected that Wests would have much to celebrate on its 100th anniversary.

Sutherland’s third grade team played their first home match of the 2003-04 season at Sutherland Oval against Western Suburbs on 4 October 2003. Western Suburbs won the toss and sent Sutherland in to bat. Their skipper must have known something, because the score at tea was 8/97 off 37 overs. First ball after the break, the score was 9/97 and number 11 Daniel Marandola was heading to the crease to join number 7 bat Aaron Phillips, who was 26 not out. In 69 previous matches for the club, Daniel’s highest score was 18.

Fielding is often the unsung hero of cricket, but it plays a crucial role in the game’s outcome. Exceptional fielding can turn matches, saving runs and creating opportunities for wickets. Developing top-notch fielding skills requires dedication, agility, and a keen eye for detail.

Basics of Fielding

Catching: Catching is one of the most vital aspects of fielding. Practice various types of catches – high catches, slip catches, and close-in catches. Focus on soft hands, quick reflexes, and maintaining balance while taking the catch.

August 14, 1926, was the first day of the 5th Ashes Test between Australia and England at the Oval in London. While many of his friends suspected as much, Gordon’s Governor General Charlie Macartney announced this would be his final Test match. Charlie had turned 40 on June 27 which was the rest day in the Second Test of the same series in which Charlie scored 133 not out in a score of 5 for 194 to draw the match.

The series was a fitting end to his Test career with Charlie topping the batting list for the tour with 1,561 runs at 53.82 and 473 runs in the Test matches at a Bradman-like average of 94.60

In 2014/15, the Manly Warringah Waratahs won our first 1st Grade Premiership in 26 years. Our last top grade Premiership was in 1988/89, with Greg Bush taking 1st Grade to the title that year.

Led by the esteemed Tim Cruickshank, the Waratahs defeated Bankstown in the final at North Sydney Oval, bowling Bankstown out or 168. We then chased the target 7 wickets down, eventually finishing on 8/208 late in the final day when stumps were called.

The history of Gordon District Cricket Club – August 1915 – The Prior brothers

On August 5, 1915, William Prior enlisted in the AIF to fight in World War 1. While this event was very similar to the more than 400,000 enlistments of Australians in the war it was a very traumatic one for the Prior family. William was the first of three brothers to enter the war.

The three brothers were the sons of William Prior (Senior) and Selina Prior who lived at a property by the name of “Trewinnia” in Broughton Road Artarmon, just a short walk down to Chatswood Oval.

COVID-19 postponed this fixture before it reconvened in 2022-23 with Irish Under 19 skipper Tim Tector leading the Randy Petes to their first win over Navy. On November 16, 2023 Navy Cricket was not impacted by deployments and key players were on shore and a strong and well drilled side took to the field in the 3rd T20 fixture.

Asked to bat first Navy were in early trouble as batsman struggled with variable bounce early on with Hayden Fox (2-7 off 2)
