Randwick Petersham Cricket Congratulates Adam Semple upon his election as the 37th Life Member of the Sydney Cricket Association. He was honoured alongside umpires Graham Chudleigh (Life Member 35) and Graham Reed (Life Member 36)
In the history of Randwick Petersham, Sempie is the greatest all-rounder the club has produced. In a career spanning 16 seasons, the left-hand bat and right-arm medium pacer, scored 6,505 runs, took 419 wickets and held 96 catches in 309 matches–each a club 1st Grade record. He also played a match in 3rd Grade in 2008-09 while recovering from an injury, scoring a century (124), taking two wickets and holding a catch to give him a club record of 6,629 runs, 421 wickets and 97 catches in 310 matches. Only two players have taken more wickets across the club. And to add to the brilliance of those records, some of his better performances occurred in the seasons leading up to his retirement in 2021-22, shortly before his 40th birthday.
Congratulations once again Adam Semple on a deserved honour!!
