Vale Ron Werner

Ronald Werner died on Tuesday 6th January 2026 at Royal North Shore Hospital at age 94. Ron had been suffering from Alzheimer's disease for several years. I met with Ron in May 2024 when researching for my book “Service and Sacrifice- The Gordon District Cricket Club in the Second World War”. His memories of playing with Gordon District Cricket Club were very clear.

I wrote the following chapter about Ron, his career and his memories of the Gordon players of the day.

North West Youth First XI take on The Willows

Just a few days out from Christmas and though prizegiving and the season had long since wrapped up, there was one more fixture on the card for the North West 1st XI. Zac Tait writes.

Having been invited to play against The Willows CC at their incredible facilities in Loburn, it was a game we had been looking forward to all year.

As much as any side needs a hard edge, a combatative spirit to be competitive, it also needs humility. Uzzie contributed well with bat, particular as an opener where his stats compare with the best Australia has had but it was his resilience coupled so strongly with his humility and integrity that was a vital part of this successful Australian team.
The narrative around Khawaja has always been hard to match with his stats, yet until the WTC Final against South Africa mid 2025, he had the third highest batting average of all openers who played in that role for the Australian Test team.
Only Ponsford and Simpson had a better average.
Such is the quality at the top end of that list, it took only five Tests (1xSouth Africa, 3xWest Indies, 1xEngland) for him to slip to 6th. Averaging 48 and opening 80 times during a period of Australian dominance at the Test game, has been a consistency which has been almost completely overlooked amongst Smith’s eccentric brilliance and Head’s audacious stroke play. Simpson and Ponsford are now joined by Woodfull, Hayden, Katich and Langer ahead of him but consider those who lay in his wake:
Lawry
Morris
Warner
Boon
and these are only those averaging above 45.
Many bemoan the lack of a successor to Warner, his club mate since junior days, but his dash and dominance which betrayed all new ball bowlers except Stuart Broad, was the yin to Khawaja’s yang.
Denied the surety of the steadfast Khawaja at the start of the innings might be even more sorely missed.
I applaud you sir. I stand and deliver that slow but sincere accolade of the heart, delivered through hands accustomed to recognising the moments that got you to here and amplify them again. Thank you for the constant reminder of what the game’s core values are.
Good guys can finish first.

UTS North Sydney Bears men's 2025/26 half-season wrap

The Bears men sit eighth out of 20 in the NSW Premier Cricket club championship after a solid performance from all grades across the first 11 rounds of the season. Just five rounds remain, but all are two-dayers for First Grade and only one limited-overs match for lower grades, so plenty of opportunity for points and traditionally the format where the Bears play their best cricket. Read on to find out how our men’s grades are going so far.

In November, our Bears, Bernadette Robson and Rina Hore, both represented NSW at the National Masters Championships.

Bernie captained the second-division Opals to fourth place overall, narrowly missing the final. The top run-scorer in her division with an average of 103.5, Bernie earned herself a spot as the Division 2 merit team captain at the end of the competition!

Kurtis Patterson moves past some of the greats at St George

In scoring 119 not out on Saturday in The Saints Round 10 clash against Campbelltown Camden, Kurtis Patterson etched his name above some of the best in the clubs history.

The century is Patterson's 14th which sees him move ahead of 2 of Australia's greatest in Sir Donald Bradman and Arthur Morris who both scored 13 centuries in their time at St George. He now sits equal 5th on the list alongside Graeme Rummans and Brad McNamara.

20-year-old all-rounder, Joel Austin, joined UTS North Sydney at the start of the 2025/26 season, having previously played for Gordon, and has already made quite the impression! In Round 2, he took 5/23 as the Bears routed Hawkesbury for 85, and he topped that off with a match-winning 108* in Round 7 against Mosman.

Watch the magic moment when Joel brought up his maiden Premier Cricket hundred, to the delight of his team-mates!
