Two Waratahs Premierships occurred on the 1st of April.
In 1990, Waratahs won its final 1st grade Premiership, when rain washed out their game against Ex Services. The dominant side all season, it was a fitting result.
In 2001, 3rd grade were minor and major premiers when Michael Truswell made his third century for the season in the Final victory against Easts.

Defending a modest total of 136, Belmont were going into Day 2 at No. 1 Sportsground behind the game with a strong Charlestown team starting the day at 2-77. Only requiring 60 runs, teenage sensation Jamie Heath once again underlined his outstanding potential by spear heading what was described as a "down and out " Belmont attack to a dramatic win.

Jamie Heath aged just 17 at the time tore through the Charlestown spine to secure an unlikely 9 run win for a gutsy Belmont side.

Adam Zampa captains Sutherland to Poidevin-Gray Shield premiership in 2011-12

This is the Poidevin-Gray Shield team report from the 2011-12 Annual Report

For the fourth time, Sutherland are Premiers in the Poidevin-Gray Shield competition. In what turned out to be a stellar series for the boys, we started off rather sluggishly with a loss to Campbelltown. The first three matches of the competition were T20 games, with the last four being traditional 50 over matches. As we are seeing, T20 matches are real toss of the coin affairs and can go either way, so it was important we played well in these first three matches to give us a chance to be in the race come the longer games.

In Episode 43 of Scoreboard, Chris Titley sits down with rising cricket star Hugh Weibgen, fresh off his breakout Big Bash campaign, to talk backyard beginnings, captaining Australia U19s, and learning fast under stadium lights.

Hugh shares what it was like to open the batting with David Warner, debut in front of 48,000 screaming fans, and get subbed into a game after a freak injury.

He reflects on the under-15 heartbreak that lit a fire in him, how he’s chasing his Queensland Bulls debut, and the personal scoreboard moment that changed everything.

From elite routines to mastering reverse sweeps with help from Sam Billings, Hugh’s journey is full of humility, hunger, and a deep love for the game—plus a few cheeky pickleball sessions on the side.

In Episode 41 of Scoreboard, Chris Titley sits down with Josh Brown—the humble Queenslander turned Big Bash star—who went from indoor cricket comps and subbies 250s to smashing 60 off 23 at the Gabba on New Year’s Day.

Josh opens up about his rapid rise, being called up by the Heat, and how indoor cricket, gym sessions, and a contact lens prescription helped launch his pro career. He shares the nerves of debuting in front of 55,000, what it’s like to build your own bats at Cooper, and why dropping a catch in a final (to 55k groans) is still one of the wildest memories of his career.

He also talks fishing, toy car collecting, being mistaken for a quiet guy, and the mindset shift that helped him stop chasing the perfect innings—and start owning his role.

From this distance, Ted Rogers' vision for the management of the new club might seem excessively egocentric. But without his drive and enthusiasm, the club would never have been created. Rogers, a 26 year-old solicitor employed by the Department of Justice, had no particular credentials as a cricketer - it isn't even clear where he had played the game before he founded the Burwood club. He was a left- arm, medium-paced bowler, who approached the crease with a curious, bouncy run that earned him the nickname "The Rock Wallaby". His ability may have been limited, but what he certainly had was immense energy and enthusiasm for the game.

David Murphy first came to our attention after he scored a quickfire century for NSW Country Under 17s in a trial match against City Under 17s at Bradman Oval, Bowral in December 2005. As a result of that innings, he was selected in the NSW Under 17 team to play in the Australian Championships in January 2006. Among his teammates in the NSW squad were Phillip Hughes and Steve Smith. In the Australian Championships, he had two century opening partnerships with Hughes. The first was 102 in 51 minutes against Northern Territory at Petersham Oval, of which David contributed 64 off 37 balls (2 sixes & 9 fours). In the next match against Queensland at Mona Park, Auburn, David was again the first out – this time for 82 off 47 balls

And so it was necessary to rebuild the First Grade team, but Wests still had an undeniably great cricketer around whom to build it - Bob Simpson. Already captain of Australia, Simpson's stature as an international cricketer was further boosted in 1964, when his monumental 311 against England at Old Trafford set him on the way to a new record for the most Test match runs scored in a calendar year. He led Australia on tours to the West Indies and South Africa and, in 1965-66, retained the Ashes at home. And, when there was time for club cricket, he kept on scoring runs with the same relentless efficiency he displayed in first-class matches. His average for Wests, batting on pitches that were often underprepared and were always uncovered, was over 61
