Q: Dan Maroske - Western Suburbs District Cricket Club
I started playing grade cricket in 3rds for University Queensland Cricket Club at the turn of the century. I played my first game of 1st grade in 2003 before moving to Wests in 2006 after a stint at Challow & Childrey CC in Oxfordshire. At 25, I disappeared to the UK for 5 years where I played for Richmond in the Middlesex County Cricket League before returning to Wests for the twilight of my career. My last 1sts game was in 2017 and I have been descending the grades at pace since then. I’ve been lucky enough to win 1sts, 2nds, 3rds premierships in my time, as well as a couple UK league titles and 3 “world cups” for the Australian Lawyers Team.

What’s been your most memorable moment in cricket so far?
Being involved in the selection and development of young cricketers in Queensland who have gone on to represent at state and national level as well as the establishment of the Eddie Gilbert Cricket Program to find and develop Indigenous Cricketers. (After my retirement from Queensland Cricket unfortunately the program was discontinued).

question
Q: Western Suburbs District Cricket Club turned 100 in May 2021 and over 250 players and friends of the club commemorated the milestone with a lunch for the ages at Graceville Memorial Park. A marquee was erected in front of the iconic 85 year old grandstand and the crowd included a great contingent of players from the 1960s & '70s, many of whom hadn't seen each other for decades. Without doubt the star of the show was 91 year old former Queensland batsman Jack McLaughlin who has lived in Graceville for over 80 years and first played for the club in 1947. Not even a broken rib could prevent him from topping the bill in a panel of former club captains comprising John Loxton, Carl Rackemann & Jon Dooley. Wests is also one of the strongest women's clubs in world cricket and the ladies were well represented by its international players including Jodie Fields & Melissa Bulow.
Celebrations continued long into the night and the event showcased the importance of club cricket. 15 May 2021 will go down as yet another superb day in the 100 year history of a great cricket club.
