Darren Kingdon made his first grade debut for Waverley (now Easts) at the age of 18 in 1987.
He scored 2,420 runs at an average of 41 before moving to Queensland where he played 7 first class games scoring 176 runs with a highest score of 59.
Darren is a former first grade captain of the Dolphins and was one of the 50 nominated contenders for the Waverley/Easts team of 125 years. A tremendous accolade to his contribution to the club.
