The Chappell Foundation will distribute at least $1 million in 2023 to frontline charities in the struggle against youth homelessness, following our most successful Annual Dinner.

The 6th Annual Dinner at the Sydney Cricket Ground on September 13 raised $480,000 net of expenses, more than $50,000 ahead of the previous best result.

Chairman Darshak Mehta made the $1 million pledge at the conclusion of the dinner, which pushed beyond $5 million the total raised since he and Greg Chappell founded TCF in 2017.

Darshak praised TCF’s homelessness charity partners as “the invisible heroes and heroines for transforming the lives of hundreds of desperate, young homeless people”

The NSW Men’s Cricket Team will begin their Marsh Sheffield Shield season at Cricket Central this week, an historic maiden First-Class match at the state’s home base – and the likely debut of a returning star.

The 12-player Blues squad, led by skipper Moises Henriques, will play Queensland, with the match starting at 10.30am on Wednesday and broadcast live on cricket.com.au, Foxtel and Kayo.

The squad includes three players that were not part of the Blues’ final Shield match of the 2022/23 season - Jackson Bird, who moved back home to NSW from Tasmania, Daniel Hughes, who has returned from the injury that ended his last summer early, and former Test star Kurtis Patterson, who has regained his spot in the 12.

In another scintillating display of power batting, Randwick Petersham today cemented its place at the top of the Pool A ladder in the 1st Grade Kingsgrove Sports Twenty20 Cup competition at Coogee Oval. Two matches were played and the home team ran out convincing winners in each. Highlights were the outstanding 101 not out from Jack Wood in the match against Western Suburbs while skipper Jason Sangha hit a majestic 68 not out playing Penrith after being dropped on the boundary before he had scored.

In the first match, the Panthers made 7-136 from their 20 overs with Riley Ayre (2-19 off 4 overs) and Jason Ralston (2-27 off 3), the principal wicket-takers. In reply, Anthony Sams with 46 off 36 balls hitting 4 fours and a 6 and Sangha, whose 68* came from just 49 balls with 4 boundaries and 4 big tonks over the fence, put on 108 for the second wicket. The winning runs came up in just 17 overs.

Western Suburbs and Hawkesbury 3rd grade team kicked off their 2023-24 season with a nail biting 50 over game at Blick Oval.

Hawkesbury batted first after being sent into bat on a wicket that would have any seamer and spinner licking their lips.

Bilal Khan struck early with two wickets however with the seamers bowling a tad short and leg side both Western Suburbs off spinners were quickly on show.

Will Chesterfield and Hameed Kherkhah proved difficult to get away and Hawkesbury’s Ahmed Badat did the right thing by taking the attack to the bowlers before sending one to deep mid wicket and out for 18.

NSW Premier Cricket - Week 1 – ‘The Opening Spell'

Back with a bang! The highly anticipated opening weekend of the 23-24 NSW Premier Cricket season lived up to the hype, as batters around Sydney put on ridiculous hitting displays.

First ball – Sangha spectacular lights up Raby Sports Complex!

Only days after launching the Sydney Thunder’s 23-24 Big Bash kit range, Jason Sangha has gone and launched the Campbelltown Camden bowling attack into orbit. A special T20 innings of 114 (not out) from 58 deliveries, including 11 fours and 6 sixes, ensured Randwick Petersham began their Kingsgrove Sports T20 Cup campaign without defeat.

Vale Peter Taylor

I am shocked and saddened to report the passing of Peter Taylor, a proud Randwick Petersham Cricket Legend and former 1st Grade captain of the old Petersham-Marrickville club. Peter was found deceased in his Meadowbank home unit on Thursday 21 September. It appears he passed away up to a week before that. Many of his friends had been following him on Facebook as a result of his recent stint in Concord Hospital with a “mystery” illness which turned out to be a problem with his kidneys. After his discharge from hospital, he commented in a Facebook post some 10 days ago that he had received some physio and he felt “terrific” (his description). He is survived by two sisters, Cathy at Terrigal and Jann in Brisbane. Peter would have been 70 on 2 October.
