About Me

Stuart Maurice

Sydney, Australia
A "would be if I could be' at a number of sports. I have great theory but poor practise. I have an odd sense of humour (some would say 'sick') and always think the glass is half empty. I played cricket and rugby league as a kid (that's all you could play in those days) before going on to referee rugby league for 29 years at various levels but never getting to the pinnacle due to my non understanding of playing the game of politics. Despite this I made many friends in the player and referee ranks who I can still call friends today. I moved onto coaching netball when my daughters came along and had success there winning a number of grand finals and coaching the St George U13 rep team to 2nd in the state champs. These days I still coach junior teams and work in administration of Netball with St George and my club team St Ursulas in the winter. I act as canteen manager at Hurstville oval in the summer for St George Cricket as well as co hosting Sunday Sports wrap on 90.1FM every Sunday morning with Hamish Solomons. I love my sport!

Q: Looking through my old memorabilia today I came across a prized trophy from 1974. By the end of that day I had thoughts I could be joining Lillee and Thommo scattering pom's stumps at the SCG in the next few months. I was a dreamer though.

It all came about when I was attending Matraville High, the home of Russell Fairfax, the Ella brothers, Llyod Walker, Eddie Jones, David Knox and on a non-sporting note, Bob Carr.

To say this place was a sporting icon is selling it short, it was sport, sport and more sport and a few people actually thought we were there to learn academically. They were kidding themselves.

Q: What is the most surreal moment you've experienced in cricket?
A: Sitting in the stand at Newlands watching the big screen and trying to work out what Bancroft was doing.
