Belmont District Cricket Club President's Report and 1st Grade Report 1991/1992

Throughout the season, there were some very good performances. Of those who did all that was asked of them, Steve Moroney continued to prove what a sound player he is. With over 500 runs for the season, Steve ensured we generally got off to a sound start. The same can be said of Steve Clarkson, who, after a slow start, really put it together later in the season.

We hope Steve elects to come back in the near future because his services are certainly appreciated by this club.

Greg Charlton, Allan Sharp, and Eric Tyrrell provided a sound middle order once again, whilst Peter Schacht kept wickets ably

A matchless piece of the Parramatta District Cricket Club’s history, is that it is the only NSW Premier Cricket Club to have played against six touring English International Teams. In the 1880s and 90s the visiting English teams used to traditionally open the New South Wales leg of their Australian tours in Parramatta, locking horns with the local club’s combinations of either 18 or 22 players. The matches shone as quite a social occasion for the good folk of the town.

A conversation at training lit a spark which went on to see Randwick Petersham become the first Club side to form a partnership with an International team. In the subsequent seasons 9 Irish players have called 'County Coogee' home every summer through the Official Overseas Scholarship Programme.

Today also marks 10 years since that historic day at Coogee Oval when Randwick Petersham hosted Cricket Ireland in a 50 over warm up match for the 2015 Cricket World Cup and 2024-25 marks the Scholarship's 10th Anniversary. In 2017 the club toured Ireland and again in October 2022 hosted Ireland at Coogee prior to the T20 World Cup.

Off-spinning allrounder Bobby ‘RA’ Aitken was a gifted cricketer.

Between 1960 and 1988 Bob Aitken was one of the most well-known players on the Sydney First grade cricket stage – punctuating 26 seasons at Parramatta with a 2-season stint at the Sydney club. Throughout that period, he proved himself to be an outstanding player, but also won a reputation as a cantankerous, fierce and ultra-competitive opponent, especially when he had his fingers wrapped around a cricket ball plotting the downfall of the bloke holding the bat at the other end of the pitch.

Leslie Walter Pye was an iconic cricketer with the Parramatta District Cricket Club, in a First Grade career that stretched from 1894/95 to 1918/19 (although he filled in for the firsts in a game during the 1921/22 at the age of 51 years scoring 21 runs and claiming 5/44 v. St George). The brilliant allrounder a skilful and stylish top-order batsman, a crafty leg-spinner and outstanding slips fieldsman – one of only two players to score 7,000+ runs and capture 300+ wickets in NSW Premier First Grade Cricket for the Parramatta Club (M.A. Wood was the other player).

Fred Snell was a Randwick man through and through. He was the most loyal of clubmen, the most reliable of players and the best of administrators. He was also Randwick’s oldest 1st Grade debutant.

Almost as a mark of respect, on 23 December 1962, Fred was selected in 1st Grade for the one-day match against Mosman at Mosman Oval. Fred batted no. 10 but was bowled after scoring 4 runs. Randwick won the match 191 to 144. Fred Snell may well have been one of Sydney Grade Cricket’s oldest 1st Grade debutants at age 49 years and 209 days.

The Parramatta District Club’s former champion opening bowler Billy Lothian, passed away at age 72, in April 2018 whilst residing in Mossman North Queensland.

Bill’s outstanding career with Parramatta (Cumberland) extended from 1963/64 to 1979/80 after which he retired and relocated to the Central Coast. On his 1st grade debut in 1965/66 he claimed 6/71 against Petersham and continued to play at that level until 1979/80, along the way establishing himself to be one of the club’s best ever fast bowlers, being the first paceman to capture ‘400+ Wickets’ in 1st grade for Parramatta.

Barry Holland had the rare distinction of not only taking most wickets for Petersham-Marrickville in his first season but also achieving what many Grade players failed to do in a full career—take a hat-trick. While his 49 wickets across three grades was the club’s top, that 1963-64 summer, his hat-trick came in 4th Grade in just his fourth match. Playing Gordon at Turramurra, Holland’s three wickets in three balls to finish with 3-15, helped bowl his team to victory.
