I first met Tony when I arrived in Dubbo as a first year out secondary teacher at Dubbo South High in 1974
South High also had a team in the Whitney Cup which was made up of Lloyd Keir and myself and the rest being school kids such as Wayne Munro, Mark Ferguson, Steve Wheeler and the Allan twins.
Tony was one of those classy left-handers who played the good ball on its merits and dispatched the bad ball to the boundary. He was always immaculately dressed, and his cricket was reflective of this.
He moved to Glen Innes where he was well known in the Stock and Station industry and later became Head of Elders - at some stage Tony also played for University in the Brisbane grade competition.
