Peter Ferguson, Western Suburbs Player #423, passed away on Saturday, September 28th, at the same time that Wests were hosting a T20 double header at Peter’s beloved Pratten Park.

Ferguson made his debut in the Firsts on December 3, 1967, at the age of seventeen. He may have made the Firsts earlier, but the club deliberately didn't want to rush his promotion.

The exciting young left arm wrist spinner, could sharply turn his leggies and he complimented this talent as a lively all round cricketer . At age 11, Peter played his first games in Wests Under 16’s. In 1964-65 he took 123 wickets for the club; 43 in the Saturday Under 16’s competition, 18 in the A.W. Green Shield, two in Poidevin-Gray and 60 in Fourth Grade.

Tristen McDonald is one of the most respected members of the Sydney Cricket Club Tigers. He is also a marvellous batter and a tremendous leader.

He has had the distinction of making a brilliant double hundred.

I grew up playing for the Woy Woy Sharks until moving to Northern District Cricket Club, after two seasons there I made the move to Sydney Cricket Club and have been there for thirteen seasons.

In late March 2022 Richard Holdsworth approached the Club enquiring whether we could host Cricket Ireland again in the lead up to the 2022 ICC T20 World Cup in Australia. Unlike 2015 this only provided 6 months to plan their 10 day stay. John Stewart immediately enlisted a committee to plan every minute detail to engage sponsors, organise accommodation and transport, ground preparation, advertising, catering, match days, opposition, and catering. Randwick Petersham’s gratitude is extended to Mike Whitney, Jeremy Jastrzab, Peter Devlin, Roy Robinson, Jo Robinson, Damian Sidney, Tom Holland, Chris Sullivan, Dale Hackney and E-Young Khoo, Jay Patel, Jaya Murdita, and Nick Saady assisting all the way from New York for their wonderful dedication to pull off this mammoth and successful undertaking in such a limited timeframe.

St George 2023-24 First XI (Part 2)

Now for the final 6 best moments of the 2023-24 season....
6. Ed Pollock scores fastest Limited Over 1st Grade century

After his first few digs in Australia it became evident that Ed was going to explode with something special. That happened in Rd 10 when Ed pulverised Fairfield-Liverpool for 116 from just 58 balls. We’re going out on a limb in suggesting that this is the fastest century in our white ball 1st grade history. He brought up his century from just 50 balls with a monster pull shot that almost made it back to his hometown in England.

A fresh-faced Ollie Sykes arrived in Sydney as a Surrey academy player through the International Cricket Programme with tremendous wraps on his ability to dismantle bowling attacks and single-handedly take the game away from the opposition.

He ended up living up – and surpassing – all of the accolades above during his season of Grade Cricket with the UTS North Sydney Bears and beyond.

“Getting awarded that contract was a dream come true and still hasn’t really sunk in. When I was told, my family stood outside the door, trying to listen to the phone call. I don’t want to get too far ahead of myself, but I believe I can go further now. I have since been told I’m getting a 2-year contract, so hopefully, it’s the start of a long career at Surrey.

The Gordon District Cricket Club was officially formed on 12 January 1905 at a public meeting in Willoughby Town Hall. The Mayor of Willoughby Council, (Alderman FC Petrie) was the Chairman and several representatives of the NSW Cricket Association were present. The new club took over the Willoughby District Cricket Club who had operated at Chatswood since 1900 playing in noncompetitive matches within the City and Suburban Cricket Association. This started the ball rolling on preparations for their first match later that year. Eighty seven names were handed in to form the membership list.

Elise Noble - Penrith Cricket Club First Grade Cap No 52

Growing up I was surrounded by cricket as my dad and grandpa coached my brother’s team. At a young age I played backyard cricket and transitioned into the U10's Modified competition, playing for Greystanes Cricket Club. At the age of 13 I began playing for Parramatta in the female competition Mollie Dive. I played at Parramatta for 5 years, working my way up to second grade and eventually first grade. In 2019, I moved to Penrith Cricket Club and have been a member of the first grade team ever since.
