Mosman defeated Sutherland in the 1985-86 4th Grade final at Kensington Oval, played on Easter Saturday & Easter Monday 1986.

In the lead-up to the final, the late David Fordham (one of the Mosman players who was then working at Channel 10) contacted Sutherland captain Tom Iceton about getting an off-duty Channel 10 cameraman to film the whole match if each team agreed to pay half the cost. He would then edit the footage into a highlights package for all the players in the match.

That video is absolute gold and epitomises the spirit of cricket in Australia. No matter what grade you play the intensity is still the same. I remember many of these players particularly Merv Black. But also many others. This is absolute gold and I thank my old mate from many many years ago the late David Fordham. It should be a signature video as to how important this game is to Australia. Any consideration to hiving it off or was selling it off must watch this video first.
