In 1975/1976, my first season at St Peters, the A Grade players formed a formidable squad combining a group of seasoned players, with a selection of younger fellows being” blooded” for future experience.
All the Club’s records and score-books have gone missing ,apart from an incomplete minute book, so to my best recollection the A Grade team that represented the club throughout that season comprised, Stephen Mc Mahon, who was thrust into the captaincy, based on “Sydney- experience”, Bede Ryan, Ian Watts , who I have referred to previously, Stuart McDowell, David Mitchell, Keith Smith ( wicket-keeper), David Armitage ( Snr), Luke Foster, John Thompson, Mark McCann and youngsters, Stuart Hutton, Brian Bower and David’s sons, David (Jnr) and James Armitage.
