Due to an injury to Western Suburbs regular 5th Grade captain Mark Lewis, Club Coaches Chadd Porter and Shaun Vose entrusted the captaincy responsibilities to 17-year-old Jack Clark.

We thought we’d check in with Jack to see how he enjoyed the captaincy experience.

What was your reaction when you were informed, you’d be captain of the 5th grade team?

Initially a little bit of shock, but also really excited as I knew it was going to be a good opportunity for me as a cricketer. I was also very thankful and honoured people in the club put their faith in me to do the job.

What did you enjoy about being captain?
