At the end of the 1987-88 season, Steve Rixon announced his retirement from first class cricket, meaning that he would be available for a full season of first grade in 1988-89. At the end of the season, John Dyson wrote in his captain’s report for the annual report:

Our other allrounder, Steve Rixon, had a great final year. He remained the premier gloveman in NSW and thankfully his tenacity with the bat returned, so that we were treated to some vintage Rixon strokeplay, including the world-renowned “woop” through mid-wicket from outside off stump. On top of this, he captained the team during my State duty absence and performed the Club Coach’s role with distinction. I know that I’ll miss playing cricket with Steve in the future
