Sydney, Australia
Georges River District Cricket Club is one of the oldest clubs in the Sydney Shires competition. Commencing in 1929 as Bexley DCC, our club is focused on providing the first class facilities for players of all ages to improve their game. At GRDCC we are renowned Sydney wide for providing younger players an opportunity to develop their cricket. Our grounds at Bexley Oval, Lance Hutchinson and Bland Ovals provide superb facilities so players can enjoy and improve their game both on and off the field. GRDCC is the only Sydney Shires club in the southern area of Sydney and fields four teams in the Sydney Shires Competition, the Tim Creer Cup, the Metropolitan Cup, a hugely successful Frank Gray Shield U24s representative side as well as teams across all Sydney Veterans competitions - Masters (O40s), Classics (O50s) and Vintage (O60s).

question
Q: Bruce Whitehouse has made an immense contribution to cricket on and off the field as a player, administrator and umpire.

Bruce was awarded Life Membership of George River Cricket Club in 1993/94, he’s a former President of the club and has been inducted as a Blue Bag legend

Who played the best innings you’ve seen firsthand playing with or against?

I saw a fantastic dig umpiring by Josh Clarke playing for Wests against Sutherland in 2019/20 where he scored a chanceless 176.

In 4th grade last year in the semi final Sydney Univeristy managed 4 for 315 and declared. Day 2 saw Sutherland 6 for 31 before lunch needing to hang on for a draw to go through to the final. Skipper James Hawksworth batted out the day remaining unbeaten on 110 with Sutherland ending on 9 for 231 and booking a spot in the final. An amazing dig!!

question
Q: A club's home ground is its fortress and the heart and soul of the club. Georges River is blessed to have among the best home grounds in the Sydney Shires competition and indeed the Greater Sydney Region. If the twin grounds of Lance Hutchinson and Bland Ovals at Riverwood are our club's heart, the our ground at Bexley Oval is certainly its soul.

Every ground has a great story - we hope you enjoy the back stories to our beloved grounds.
