As a lover of cricket it was certainly not a chore for Les Eastaway to research and write about the sport. Following the compilation of ‘Cricket in the Manning’, he chose to research and document cricket in the township of Inverell and nearby regions.

The 2012-13 season opened with Les spending the first of six summers scoring for a local town team.

Two double centuries in the opening weeks whet his appetite to ‘dig’ for prominent big scores and admirable bowling performances. He unearthed a tarnished trophy, the cup and some fine stats became his ‘baby’ to compile enough notes to enable a book of Sapphire City cricket tracing over one hundred years.

The book is titled, ‘Inverell Cricketers, Curators and Centuries.’
