Vale Bob Guthrie.

One of Mosman Cricket Club’s great men sadly passed away during the week. Bob had been involved with MCC for nearly 50 years.

Many of those spent on the sidelines watching his son Cameron play U9s and all the way through to 1st Grade.

Bob joined our Committee in the late 1980s and would remain there for over 30 years. Always prepared to help wherever he could, Bob was heavily involved in the club’s fight to save itself from relegation in the mid 90s. A fight every player is now grateful for.

Bob was also a decorated SCA umpire and spent many years driving around Sydney helping games of cricket run smoothly. In his later years, Bob spent every Saturday sitting on the hill at Allan Border Oval watching our current youngsters do their thing.

Bob was a life member along with his son Cameron. The only father and son Life Members of our club. Both will be remembered this Saturday afternoon at AB Oval. Rest in peace Bob.

Stumps - summary of St George District Cricket Club from round 11 and 12 of the 2023-24 NSW Premier Cricket season

ROUNDS 11 & 12
FIRST GRADE (Belvidere Cup & Limited Overs Cup) Rd 11
St George Defeated UNSW by 139 runs
St George 5/365 (B Macdonald 182, N Stapleton 62, E Pollock 53, L Bartier 27no, M Rodgers 23, K Patterson 15) defeated UNSW 226 (J Craig-Dobson 3-33, N Stapleton 3-53, L Bartier 2-26)

First game after the 2-week Xmas/New Year break, and we welcomed 1st Grade Player 276 – Dayle Carew. It was a pleasure personally to see Dayle reach this milestone, knowing him and his family for a long time. Dayle certainly earned this chance with some outstanding bowling performances in the lower grades, starting the season in 4’s and working his way to 1’s in just 11 games. It is true reward for his dedication to his own game.

After being sent in by the UNSW Captain, it didn’t take long for our openers Matt and Ed to take control of the UNSW bowling! Ed continued where he left off before Xmas, smashing runs off the second over. Matt also was effective as they started to plunder the bowling scoring an opening partnership of 76 off 66 deliveries until Ed finally missed one and was bowled. Matt followed soon after trying to continue the run assault holing out to point. Blake Macdonald was joined by Kurtis as they started to steady the ship a little, starting slowly and ensuring we reached a respectable target. Losing Kurtis after a drink break saw Captain Stapo join BMac and they started to take advantage of the weakening UNSW bowling. They went blow for blow in their 151-run partnership off 127 balls, as we quickly re-established a commanding dominance with our total.

Vale Troy Crosland

Troy Crosland, a former 1st Grade captain of the former Petersham-Marrickville club. Troy passed away from meningitis on Wednesday 24 January in Italy, where he had been living for the past 23 years. He was just 52.

Troy joined Petersham-Marrickville in 1995 from the Campbelltown club. He played for five seasons in 1st Grade captaining the side in 1997-98. He also captained the 2nd Grade team in 2000-01, the final year before the merger to become Randwick Petersham. A left-arm orthodox spinning all-rounder, he was also a brilliant fielder, being the leading catcher in four of his five seasons with the club in 1st Grade.

Troy remained a Petersham-Marrickville 1st Grade record-holder at the time of the merger, having put on 76 for the 10th wicket against Mosman in 1998-99 with Andrew Harrison.

Ben Gorham, son of Wests’ legendary Scorer Mal ‘Pencil’ Gorham (First Grade Player #447), is currently celebrating his 200th game for the Magpies in the Fourth Grade two day match versus Penrith at Blick Oval.

Ben started with the black and whites in season 2009-2010 in the Metro Cup and has subsequently appeared in all grades, except Firsts, in his 200 appearances.

An ideal clubman, Gorham has, especially in the early days, played in two games on a weekend: grade on Saturday, backing up in Metro when played on a Sunday.

Ben co-coached Wests Green Shield squads for two seasons and still lends his support to the Club’s juniors both on and off the field. As captain of the very successful 2023-2024 Fourth Grade side (currently placed second,
one point behind Manly), Ben has the opportunity to guide the fortunes of his young proteges on field.

To see him lead the group in the club song after a Magpie victory is a sight to behold! During his 200 game career, Ben has scored 3,341 runs at an average of 20.25, accumulating 14 scores of 50 plus, with a highest tally of 94. As well, he has taken 206 wickets, at the economical average of 22.44. On top, he has taken 83 career catches.

The good news is that Ben Gorham, a young man who exemplifies the Magpie Mantra (“Better People Through Cricket”), shows no sign of slowing up and it would be a just reward for him to captain the Fourth Grade to a premiership.

Week 16 – ‘The Opening Spell’

First ball – History made!

It took Ira Patel just five second-grade innings to score Sydney University’s first club century!

Opening for the Students’ second-grade side against Northern District, Patel carried her bat, adding 132 runs from 171 balls.

Sydney University would close their innings on 10/227 and restrict the Rangers to 9/187 from their 50 overs. A deserved victory for a momentous occasion.

Second ball – He’s a keeper!

Randwick Petersham were sent in to bat on day one of their first-grade clash against Manly, at Manly Oval.

Ryan Hadley removed Blake Weymouth, with the second ball of match, 1-1. Thomas Kaye removed the other opener, Camden Hawkins, 2-1, in the second over, and it was 3-6 in Hadley’s third over after he bowled fellow NSW Squad member Jason Sangha (2).

St George Cricket Club

At St George District Cricket Club in September 2022 Centenary of First Grade Dinner, one of the greats of our club Jon Jobson was inducted into the St George DCC Hall Of Fame. Unfortunately, Jon was unable to attend the function but team mate and friend Paul Bourke accepted the honour on his behalf.

Here is what Paul had to say on Jon Jobson

Jon Jobson, known as Jobbo, joined St George at the beginning of the 1974/75 season. He was a 17 year old Taree schoolboy and was immediately selected in First Grade as Cap Number 251. His first three innings of duck, duck, and 7 meant he was almost known as “007 Jobbo”.

By the time he retired from First Grade Jon had scored 5950 runs at over 30 to be the sixth highest First Grade run scorer for the Club.

His maiden century occurred during a 211 run partnership with Brian Booth vs Nth Sydney when scored Brian scored his 23rd century. Jon’s top score of 194 not out was against a pretty good Waverley attack led by Tony Greig and David Hourn, and only ended when rain washed out play about an hour before stumps.

Jon was a very determined top order bat and a forceful stroke player. He often thrived under pressure situations.

Jon was named in the Teams of the Decade for both the 1970s and 1980s, and captained teams to Premierships in PGs and First Grade. He also coached the Green Shield team to two Premierships and winners of the State Challenge.

Furthermore, he gave over 20 years of outstanding service as President then CEO of the Club.

Jobbo has a made a huge contribution to St George over many years and richly deserves this recognition in the Hall of Fame.

He now lives in Tasmania and unfortunately was not able to attend tonight. I recently spoke to Jon, who is greatly honoured to receive this award, as the Hall of Fame includes so many outstanding players.

As his friend and former teammate, I am very pleased to accept this award on his behalf.

Paul Bourke Cap No 246.
