Julia Coote, Sutherland's long-standing first grade scorer, passed away on Thursday morning. Club historian Tom Iceton posted this obituary on the Sutherland website last night:

It is with a very heavy heart that I write these words from the other side of the world. It is my very sad duty to advise that Julia Coote passed away peacefully this morning after a battle with cancer. It is now over 10 months since we were advised of Jules’ diagnosis, which we passed on to the SDCC community at that time. Jules carried on her life over the last 10 months with a stoic attitude and cheerful disposition, accepting of her fate but not consumed by it.

The UTS North Sydney Bears got their season underway this past weekend with two wins in the Kingsgrove Sports T20 Cup, while PGs were defeated in the first match of their title defence, but what does the season have in store for the Bears and where are they looking to improve on last season?

The Bears finished 10th on the Club Championship last season, a solid result but disappointing after a strong start, with two grades missing out on finals on the final day of the regular season. So a higher positioning and several teams playing finals cricket are both being targeted this time around. Nic Bills has been appointed as Club Coach, assisted by Angelo Joseph, Liam Whitaker and Tim Reynolds, and several new players have seamlessly integrated into the squad following trials in late July.

Randwick Petersham Cricket v Sydney – Poidevin Gray

After a disappointing opening day of the 2024-25 cricket season yesterday, with 1st Grade losing both of their Twenty20 matches, the club bounced back today with a great win in the under 21 Poidevin-Gray competition. And with a new club record to boot!

Playing Sydney CC at Petersham, the visitors were asked to bat first and were away to a good start getting to 3-82 off 15 overs. Seven bowlers had been tried and for the 24th over of the innings, the ball was thrown to Vansh Bhatia. A right-arm leg-spinner who ironically joined us from Sydney CC during the off-season, the youngster was in his first day out with his new club. And what a day out he had!

Over the following 13.3 overs, Sydney crashed from 3-107 to be all out for 163 with Vansh TAKING ALL SEVEN WICKETS IN SUCCESSION for figures of 7-35 off 7.3 overs. After having 3-28 off 3.2 overs, with 24 of those coming from 3 sixes and 2 fours, he took 4-7 off his final 25 balls to record figures which are the best-ever for the club in this competition. He had 5 caught, got one lbw then bowling the last. The previous best was 5-21 by Jamie Boettiger in 2005-06.

And the batters didn’t let him down as they chased down the target with a score of 4-164 in just 28 of the available 50 overs for a huge win. Zak Keogh remained 79* while another debutant, Angus Cornish, was also undefeated on 26*.

The boys play Northern District in a Twenty20 match at Coogee Oval NEXT SUNDAY at 9.30am with the 1st Grade T20, also against NDs, following at 2pm.
