Sammy was the Cricket Development Coordinator for Central Districts Cricket Association in Hawke’s Bay, New Zealand before moving to Queensland ten years ago.
In 2019 Sammy joined Coolum Cricket Club as player/coach in Coolum’s inaugural Division 1 season captaining the side in his last two seasons.
He also captained the Queensland Veterans Over 40s Gold Division 1 side at the National Championships in November last year.

They shall grow not old,
as we that are left grow old.
Age shall not weary them,
nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun
and in the morning
We will remember them.

Stockton & Northern Districts Cricket Club is pleased to announce that David Redden has been awarded Life Membership at our annual presentation dinner Queens Wharf Hotel on Saturday evening.

It is hard to put in to words what David has done for Stockton & Northern Districts Cricket Club.

David was introduced to the club by former Seagull Trent Colley and ever since David has filled the role of 1st Grade Manager along with a variety of other roles within the club. As anyone who knows David will know, the work he gets through and selflessness he shows is nothing short of extraordinary.

David has been a constant pillar of strength through the ups and downs. Always a great sounding board, a voice of reason, a shoulder to cry on and a friend to everyone that crossed his path. His ability to build relationships is remarkable and he is widely respected and loved not only within our club but also within the Newcastle and Country Cricket community.

In addition to his roles with our club, David has been a magnificent ambassador for our club as long serving manager of Newcastle Colts and Senior Representative teams and the NSW Bush Blues. David was also recently awarded Life Membership of Country Cricket NSW.

It would be remiss not to mention the contribution of David's wife Merrillie, who has supported his commitment to the club. Thank you Merrillie!

We are immensely proud to honour David Redden with Life Membership of our club. A seagull for life!

This award is presented to the senior player deemed to have contributed most to the performance of the club.

With 1sts winning the flag it's hard to go past what Kurtis brought to that team with his skill and experience. However for anyone who was lucky enough to witness his amazing century against Parramatta in the Semi Final it was his passion that stood out most and this definitely became a part of the dynamic of the teams wonderful success in 23-24.No doubt it flowed down the grades to the young up and comers.

All up in all 1st Grade fixtures and formats Kurtis scored 908 runs at 69.85

Congratulations and thank you Kurtis Patterson.

A League Cricket Club in the Cheshire League is looking for an overseas batter with first grade experience in Premier Cricket in Australia. It’s late notice, but their contract overseas player has had to withdraw.

The season in Cheshire starts in 2 weeks, so if anyone is interested, they need to be ready to travel and play.

The Cheshire club is willing to pay for return air fares, accommodation, and club kit, and if you score a lot of runs, you could earn an extra quid or two.

The Cheshire League is designated ECB Premier League and has a good standard of cricket. Cheshire is also a good place to live and well connected to the rest of the U.K.

This is a great opportunity for a young first-grade batter.

Please make contact if you're interested, and we can connect them to the club.
