Randwick Petersham is fortunate to have had so many dedicated and capable founding fathers. Petersham had Sydney Smith (60+ years), Randwick had Os Taylor (60+ years), Petersham-Marrickville had Dudley Seddon (60+) and Jack Ross (55) while Marrickville had Bert Bicknell, who was such a dedicated clubman, he virtually lived for the club in the latter part of his life.

Burbury Herbert “Bert” Bicknell originally played for Petersham joining that club in 1912-13 aged 25. He was principally a lower grade batsman playing in the 2nd and 3rd Grade teams for nine seasons totalling 2,681 runs with a top score of 114 in 1915-16. He made his 1st Grade debut in 1914-15 playing just a handful of games for 112 runs with 35 his best score. In 1920-21 he had his first taste of cricket administration by representing Petersham as a delegate to the NSW Cricket Association.
