Penrith Cricket Club 5th Grade Premiers 2013-14

By Chris Withers

To be Minor Premiers is one thing, to be Minor Premiers/Premiers is another. The 2013/14 season turned out to be the best year of cricket I have been involved in, winning 15 out of 18 games in the year.

It has been an absolute honour to captain the 5th Grade to a Premiership this season.

UTS North Sydney Fifth Grade 2025-26 season wrap.

It was another ‘almost’ season for UTS North Sydney’s Fifth Grade in 2025/26, being in the hunt for finals right until the last day of the season. Skipper, Alex MacGill, gives his review of the year.

Fifth Grade is an extremely difficult team to manage; balancing blooding young players with an eye to field the strongest team and rewarding performance in our Roseville Shires team.

Manly Warringah 2007/08 AW Green Shield

The 2007/08 AW Green Shield team endured a challenging season on the field, recording two wins from their seven matches.

Despite the results, the side proved to be an important stepping stone for a number of talented young players who would go on to enjoy significant success in the competition in later years, including reaching the Green Shield Final in 2009/10, as well as building strong careers in grade cricket.

THE FINALS - 1st Grade v Easts, 28th/29th March 1987
This was the killer Final that probably marked the start of the decline of Easts as a powerhouse in the 1980's. Often referred to "Conno's Final", his outstanding spell of sustained new ball bowling - supported by Andrew McNeill and Joe Harrison - strangled the Daffodils and then James Campbell quickly secured the win.

The Tahs Inc, formerly Waratahs CC of Armidale are pleased to announce that nominations for the Waratahs Ian Campbell Scholarship are now open.
The Scholarship program identifies talented junior cricketers and provides then access to expert training and support from the number one cricket club in Sydney, Manly Warringah DCC.
Last year's recipient, Brooke Moran, a junior cricketer playing for Easts Cricket Club in Armidale, trained in Sydney, was accepted in the Manly Warringah Pathways Program, debuted for the Manly Warringah U19 side and subsequently represented NSW Schools at the U/15 and U/19 Australian Championships. At the end of the U15 Championships, she was named in the Australia U/15 All Star Team.
This is an outstanding program funded from members of the club and aims to put back into the game some of the delights we all experienced in playing for Waratahs.

THE FINALS - A Grade v Unicorns, 25th/26th March 1972
In the early seventies, Waratahs had been playing in A Grade for twenty seasons and had just one Premiership, despite playing in four of the previous five Finals. In an outstanding team effort - batting and bowling - they overpowered Unicorns, despite Roy Smith's 8-95. Skipper Alan Gray (pictured) had played in the previous Premiership win.

THE SEMIS - 1st Grade v Hillgrove Colts, 24th/25th March 1990
This was closer than the all-conquering Waratahs wanted from a semi in a season where they were dominant. Phil Melville, Michael Connolly and Daniel Ryan were too good for the Grovers but if not for a 51 one run stand between Father & Son Ryan, Mark Jackson's pfeiffer might have won it for Hillgrove.

THE FINALS - 1st Grade v The Armidale School, 23rd & 24th March 1991
Waratahs were unbackable at the toss and long odds-on at the start of play on Sunday morning, chasing only 195, after only failing to make 200 in two of their eleven games during regular play in season 1990-91 and four times chasing down big totals over 250.
The only thing that stood in their way was the guile of a former player and one of Armidale cricket's best con jobs by a future player.

THE FINALS - A Grade v Unicorns, 23rd & 24th March 1974
Waratahs, having played themselves into batting form in the final two games of the season, were determined to put a score on Unicorns. They did, with opener Terry Betts (pictured) playing his best innings for the season and nine of the batsmen getting starts but Unicorns allrounder Wynn, made it all go wrong!
