What do you enjoy most about playing cricket?

The social connections on and off the field that I’ve been fortunate enough to make, being able to compete with highly skilled cricketers that challenge me, and getting to be a part of a club that gets around each other and constantly makes playing cricket an enjoyable experience.

Given he was a solitary teenager, solitary games against a fibro outhouse in a cul-de-sac on the Moorefield Estate at Kogarah suited Kerry O'Keeffe.

Vaguely aware that a young Don Bradman famously used a stump and golf ball at a Bowral tank stand to hone his skills, O'Keeffe armed himself with a stump to play to all parts of the yard the rebounding tennis ball he threw against the fibro lavatory.

Women's cricket at Penrith Cricket Club in the 1990s

The 1990s saw a period in which women’s cricket flourished at Penrith CC, with the Club fielding two teams in the women’s competitions in most seasons. A highlight of this decade was the early career of the great Michelle Goszko, who went on to higher honours. The decade also featured the first years of club stalwart Kim Horwood’s (now Butler) career, with Kim still playing today.

William Peter Howell was known in cricket circles as ‘Old Bill’ to distinguish him from his son William Hunter Howell ‘Young Bill’ who also played for Cumberland and NSW – by coincidence the son was also a right-hand off-spinner and hard-hitting left-handed batsman. ‘Old Bill’ was born at Penrith on the 29th of December 1869 and died at Castlereagh on the 14th of July 1940.

A man of the land he had a farming property at Castlereagh where he concentrated on commercial Apiary and by the 1930s, he had 127 Bee hives in production.

From the St George DCC 1960’s Scrapbook – Peter Leslie’s NSW Debut
26th November 1965 - A Whiz Kid at the SCG - Peter Leslie
Shattered windows and broken fibro at the home of the Leslie family in Bexley prove the dedication of 18-year-old Peter Leslie.
All the breaks and damage will seem worth it today when the young 6ft. fast bowler walks on to the Sydney Cricket Ground in his first State team.
"It all still seems un-real”, he said today. "I always had an ambition to play against England but it came as a shock to be picked to play against this team."

After finishing as Premiers in the 2014/15 season, the goal again for the baby faced colts was to once again take it out & make it back to back premierships for the mighty cats!

With a lot of new faces making their debuts for the club and the average age being only 16, to the boy’s credit, they held their own!
