Recently I found my dad’s (Alan Davidson) 1st Grade Premiers Cap of 1948-49 for Northern District Cricket Club and the letter from the club Secretary advising him of his selection in the First Grade Team at the start of the season.
Dad was working at the Commonwealth Bank in Gosford at the time and living in Lisarow.
The letter dated 19 September 1948 goes like this.

Dear Mr Davidson,
Tonight the selectors chose you in our First Grade Eleven for the match at Waitara on Saturday, 25/9/48, subject to your being able to be on the ground at the correct starting time, viz 1-30pm. This applies every Saturday during the season.
You have also been chosen in our First Eleven for the Eight Hour Day Match at Waitara commencing at 10am sharp.
Much as we would be pleased to have your services, I am sure that you will appreciate the fact that your attendance on time is very necessary and in view of your discussion with Mr Caldwell on the difficulties of your transport, the selectors have requested that you make your position known to me at the earliest possible moment so as we can make any adjustments necessary.
With Kind Regards
Yours faithfully
Hon Sec

Apparently, Dad’s father Keith would wait outside the Bank in Gosford where dad worked on Saturday mornings until 10am, with the engine of his old Ford Model, a crank start car running, so as to get to Waitara on time.
He finished the first season, winning the competition and winning the clubs and Sydney bowling averages with 38 wickets at 14.2 apiece and becoming the youngest person in history to do it.
