At what age did you make your first grade debut in grade cricket and can you remember how you performed in debut?

I was 17 and in those days you played a redraw at the end of the season. I got picked to play against Balmain and Bankstown. I got 17 from memory against Balmain. I remember hitting an on drive for 4 and Tony Steele Balmain’s captain virtually stopping the game and saying “see that’s how you hit an on drive” it was a nice touch from a respected hard core grade veteran. I then played against Bankstown with Len Pascoe, lucky me, I didn’t get many in that game.
