The last round before Christmas 1974 was held after overnight rain. The one fay fixture between Sydney and Nepean (now Penrith) was held on a muddy Rushcutters Bay Oval. The Panthers were sent in and scored a meagre 109. Sydney’s Rick McCosker, who had scored 4 first class centuries in his last 4 games for NSW, scored a steady 50 not out.

After the game Rick was advised that he was selected to play his first test the following weekend. Rick (Australia Test player no. 272), who was born at Inverell, shared a celebratory lemon squash with several Panthers keen to have a few beers before the return drive to the West.
