The next time you hear a Newcastle district cricketer whinge about traveling over the Stockton Bridge or down to Toronto for an away game, mention Ian Redpath.
The Stockton & Northern Districts batsman was without a doubt the most committed cricketer in town in the 2012-13.
During the 2012-13 pre-season, Redpath emailed every club in Newcastle requesting a chance to play.
Six replied, and because he had relatives in Stockton and an offer from the club to provide accommodation if required, Redpath chose the Seagulls.
