The past one hundred and two seasons of the St George DCC has seen only 12 regular wicket keepers ply their craft behind the stumps in 1st Grade at Hurstville Oval and beyond. For those wicket keepers they have kept to some quality bowlers meaning that their game and efficiency behind the stumps has invariably developed.
In that time there have surprisingly been only two keepers, David Moore and Nathan Pilon, who have been selected to represent at a first-class level, albeit fleetingly. During the period eight keepers have kept for long periods. Ernie Laidler (29 seasons ), Ray Tozer (17 seasons) David Moore (10 seasons), Paul Ryan (7 seasons), Nathan Pilon (7 seasons) Kevin Pillay (10 seasons) and recently Jonathan Rose (5 seasons) and Tom Van Tempest (4 seasons).
