It was a sad day for Randwick cricketers and cricket in general on 7 March 1991 when Tim Towers, one of the club’s top performers during the 1970s and early 80s, passed away. He was just 36. A great fighter on the cricket field he was no match for the dreaded cancer and diabetes which he had battled for some years.

Timothy Brendan Towers was born on 18 February 1955 at Paddington Women’s Hospital. He was the youngest son and fourth child of former Australian rugby great Cyril Towers. He joined Randwick Cricket Club as a Green Shield boy in the summer of 1970-71. A lively fast-medium bowler and useful lower order batsman, Tim quickly established himself as a player of the future, making his Grade Cricket debut in 4th Grade that same season.
