Albert ‘Bert’ Alderson, who in his playing days was an outstandingly productive left-handed batsman for both the Parramatta District Cricket Club and the Sydney University Cricket Club, on Saturday 14th December 2024 celebrates his 100th birthday – thus becoming the fourth former Parramatta player to reach that milestone, the others were Jack Anthony, Bill Smith and Alan Cramond.

Bert Alderson was literally a run machine – one of only a handful of batsmen to top 14,000 runs in grade cricket – of which 10,731 were made in 1st Grade with Central Cumberland and Sydney University.
