Merilyn Fowler (née Earle) is considered cricket royalty at Hawkesbury Cricket Club.
For over 25 years, Merilyn served as a scorer for the club, and her dedication was recognized with Life Membership in 2000.
In 2018, the NSW Cricket Umpires and Scorers Association (NSWCUSA) acknowledged Merilyn’s outstanding contributions by awarding her Life Membership—the first scorer ever to receive this honor. This recognition was well-deserved, as Merilyn was a driving force behind the inclusion of scorers in the NSWCUSA and has been instrumental in pioneering scorer development and training throughout her remarkable career.
