Q: Carlton Cricket Club First Grade Premiers 1956-57 - Dramatic Premiership
Dramatic Premiership
Season 1956-57 was a great one for Carlton. The final four was in doubt until the last ball was bowled in the home and home series, and Carlton’s dramatic rise from almost a hopeless position to the premiership captured the imagination of the cricket public.
In the first three rounds of the season, North Melbourne won a one-day game by 17 runs. Heavy rain washed out the opening day of the second round, but Carlton went on to defeat St. Kilda by 49 runs, and the Cup Day fixture saw Hawthorn-East Melbourne win by 40 runs.

1927 - Wisden Cricketer of the Year
Elected Life Member 1941
In 1924/25 he joined the Carlton CC as Captain, but his services were often required at State level where he scored so heavily that he ultimately gained selection in Herbie Collins’s 1926 Australian team for England. Starting that tour with a score of 201 against Essex, followed by 118 against Surrey, Woodfull continued in such fine form that he headed the Australian first-class batting figures with 1672 runs at an average of 57.65 (eight centuries) and was named one of Wisden’s five cricketers of the year. No Australian had previously averaged 50 on his first tour of England. Upon returning to Carlton, Woodfull was given a complimentary smoke night to celebrate his great deeds in England.
