Vale Tony Corcoran

I first met Tony when I arrived in Dubbo as a first year out secondary teacher at Dubbo South High in 1974

South High also had a team in the Whitney Cup which was made up of Lloyd Keir and myself and the rest being school kids such as Wayne Munro, Mark Ferguson, Steve Wheeler and the Allan twins.

Tony was one of those classy left-handers who played the good ball on its merits and dispatched the bad ball to the boundary. He was always immaculately dressed, and his cricket was reflective of this.

He moved to Glen Innes where he was well known in the Stock and Station industry and later became Head of Elders - at some stage Tony also played for University in the Brisbane grade competition.

Captain Morgan takes 6 wickets in 6 balls to win the game for Mudgeeraba Nerang against Surfers Paradise

What happened next is one of the great wonders of cricket. Has it ever been done before as Morgan dismissed Gardner on the first ball of the over and proceeded to take another 5 wickets with his 5 remaining balls. Surfers Paradise were bowled on for 174 off the last ball of Morgan’s over and Mudgeeraba Nerang won by 4 funs.

Gareth Morgan took 6 wickets in on over to finish the game with figures of 6 overs 7 for 16.

You gotta love cricket.

Randwick Petersham completed a comprehensive first innings victory over 1st Grade competition leaders Northern District at Asquith Oval today. The scores were Randwick Petersham 122 and 8-207 declared to 69 and 8-229.

Most of the action occurred last week with NDs 9-65 at stumps in reply to Randwick Petersham’s 122. Today, it took Angus McTaggart, who celebrated his 21st birthday two days ago, just 4 balls to complete the Northern District innings for 69, finishing with the magic figures of 7-35 from 9.4 overs. That performance equalled the club’s best-ever 1st Grade bowling figures set by Englishman Jonathan Lewis against Mosman in 2003-04 – 20 years ago. Lewis played Test and ODI cricket for England shortly after

I had blocked out an over; the keeper quipped, ‘Come on boys, more dots than a dot painting’.

While I am not Indigenous, imagine if I was and that comment had been said? Just a bit of banter, right? Just brush it off, right?

In many ways, Australian Cricket is a mirror to Australian society; the first ever tour of England by an Indigenous Team saw the team worked like slaves, ignored on their return and white-washed out of the history until the 21st century. The tough Colonials taking it to the English, the brave and bold Bradman facing Bodyline, the brash sides of the 1960’s and 1970’s. The 1980’s saw a dark time and a questioning of identity, of a rapidly changing world that saw economic and societal changes that made the world smaller and yet somehow more foreign to the traditional, it was when cricket started to be considered a career and a commodity. The domination of the mid to late 1990’s and early 2000’s when our Prime Minister wanted us to be ‘comfortable and relaxed’, and most of us were, on and off the field.

Terrific to see Brett Elliott at 54 years of age scoring 81 for Mosman 3rd Grade in their Round 3 one day game against Eastern Suburbs.
Chasing Eastern Suburbs 9 for 313 off 50 overs, Herb showed his class and kept Mosman in the game before they were bowled out for 253.
Herb won multiple first grade premierships with Bankstown in the 1990s and I’m sure he’s passing on some valuable lessons to his younger teammates.
Well done Herb.

Parramatta District Cricket Club

On Tuesday 7th November 2023, former Parramatta District Cricket Club 1st grade player and Life Member John Aitken passed away.

The old phrase ‘cricket is life’, was most apt when applied to ‘JA’, he conducted a life-long love affair with the game. The remarkable duration of his personal playing career would undoubtedly place him amongst Australia’s longest-ever continuous players. Up to the close of the 2012/13 season he was still captaining and playing in the Auburn Shire Club’s 4th grade team. Still maintaining his enthusiasm after an astonishing seven decades playing the grand old game.

John was physically a diminutive, slight man whose cricket could be best summed up as ‘gritty and determined.’ Not blessed with the natural ability of his younger sibling Bobby, he practiced assiduously and utilised sheer hard work to extract ‘every ounce’ of skill he owned to forge his marathon career.

It is with great sadness to report the passing on Monday evening of former Auburn legend, John Aitken.

John had a long and distinguished playing career that started as a young player with Auburn, he then a long-playing period in Premier Grade Cricket, with Parramatta DCC (formerly known as Central Cumberland DCC), before finishing off his playing career with Auburn.

A hobbled Glenn Maxwell scored Australia's first ever men's ODI double century to pull off one of cricket's all-time greatest comebacks

Glenn Maxwell defied intense pain to play one of the greatest innings in history and pull off the mother of all heists in a World Cup epic against Afghanistan in Mumbai.

A cramping Maxwell (201no from 128 balls) could hardly walk, let alone run, through the back half of a 202-run partnership with captain Pat Cummins – the biggest for the eighth wicket in ODI history – as the Aussies rose from the dead to seal a semi-final berth.

Randwick Petersham won its 5th 1st Grade Twenty20 premiership at Coogee Oval when it defeated a brave Gordon side in the Grand Final of the Kingsgrove Sports Twenty20 Cup, 4-155 (18.4 overs) to 8-152 (20 overs). And while the match was played in cloudy and gloomy conditions after parts of Sydney had been deluged by up to 75mm of rain overnight, the game produced all the excitement and tension that a T20 Grand Final can do.

Batting first after winning the toss, it was high drama when Daniel Sams clean bowled the Stags skipper, Tym Crawford, with the very first ball. But it was almost 10 overs later before the hosts could claim a second wicket when Jason Ralston bowled Axel Cahlin (38 off 27 balls with 2 fours and 3 sixes) for a 2-66 scoreline. Trystan Kennedy (28 off 33) went 7 runs later although a 56 runs partnership which followed, put Gordon’s nose in front.

Week 7 – ‘The Opening Spell’

Rain, rain go away! A wet weather affected weekend of McDonald’s NSW Premier Cricket couldn’t stop the bowlers from showing up.

First ball – Big Bash meets little bash!

Colloquially referred to as the ‘little bash’, NSW Premier Cricket’s Kingsgrove Sports T20 Cup came to a spectacular conclusion at Coogee Oval over the weekend. Randwick Petersham chased Gordon’s total of 8/152 with eight balls to spare, thanks to a crisp display of hitting from Sydney Thunder’s Daniel Sams (42 from 30) and Alex Ross (43 from 33), as well as Brisbane Heat’s Jack Wood (25 from 19). The Randy Pete's trio plundered six 4s and seven 6s between them, to secure the trophy for a record fifth time.
