Q: The NSW Under 15 cricket team toured Northern Territory in 1987 to play 3 games in Darwin, Katherine and Alice Springs.
Back Row – Jeff Evans (team manager in blue shirt), Mark Pacey, Justin Gale, Matthew Rudd, Henry Vera. The rest of the players in the back row were from Northern Territory.
Middle Row – Gavan Twining (Captain), Brett Kirk, Oliver Hodges, Brett Kirby, Brad McKay – then the Northern Territory team
Front Row – Bruce Graham, Matthew Cleary – then the Northern Territory team.
I remember Gary Jones being in the team however he doesn’t seem to be in the photo.
