This award is presented to the senior player deemed to have contributed most to the performance of the club.

With 1sts winning the flag it's hard to go past what Kurtis brought to that team with his skill and experience. However for anyone who was lucky enough to witness his amazing century against Parramatta in the Semi Final it was his passion that stood out most and this definitely became a part of the dynamic of the teams wonderful success in 23-24.No doubt it flowed down the grades to the young up and comers.

All up in all 1st Grade fixtures and formats Kurtis scored 908 runs at 69.85

Congratulations and thank you Kurtis Patterson.

A League Cricket Club in the Cheshire League is looking for an overseas batter with first grade experience in Premier Cricket in Australia. It’s late notice, but their contract overseas player has had to withdraw.

The season in Cheshire starts in 2 weeks, so if anyone is interested, they need to be ready to travel and play.

The Cheshire club is willing to pay for return air fares, accommodation, and club kit, and if you score a lot of runs, you could earn an extra quid or two.

The Cheshire League is designated ECB Premier League and has a good standard of cricket. Cheshire is also a good place to live and well connected to the rest of the U.K.

This is a great opportunity for a young first-grade batter.

Please make contact if you're interested, and we can connect them to the club.

Given the recent passing of one of our club's great educators, Brian Booth, the importance of this scholarship to the players and members of the St George DCC grows even larger in significance.

This great initiative has been running since 2006-07 and we are extremely proud to announce that this season's recipient is none other than Tom Forrester, one of the most impressive young men within our playing fraternity....

...And how good to have 3rd Grade skipper and grandson of Brian, Nathan Anderson to present this great honour to Tom.

Tom will be undertaking a Bachelor or Nursing with a view to moving into Medicine in the future and the help this scholarship provides will allow Tom to hopefully reach his goals with a little less pressure.

Previous winners include the likes of Damian Bourke, Chris MacDougal, Simon Chu, Andrew Walsh, Peter Francis, Vasi MacMillan and Josh Moors most of whom followed the path, like Brian Booth, into the field of education.

His story just gets better and better...

Our boy Vansh Jani from England had a somewhat modest start to his Aussie summer scoring 91 runs at 22.75 over 4 games. He managed to score a game in 3's where he impressed and started to find his groove. In 3's he eventually scored 401 runs at 50 and even picked up 7 wickets. Towards the end of the season he scored a promotion to 2's and this is where he really took off. In 4 digs he scored 56, 146, 148 and 34. 384 runs at 96.

With Ed Pollock returning to England Vansh became St George 1st Grade player No.477 and in the Semi Final finished with 59 not out in his debut innings batting with Kurtis Patterson.

A week later he scored a premiership ring in 1st Grade and finished with 70 runs at 70 from his two 1st grade digs.

All up he finished with 946 runs and 8 wickets which was enough to win the prestigious Kerry O'Keeffe Medal for the St George DCC Player of the Year.

Unfortunately Vansh has left to return home to England but not before he left an indelible mark on our club and we were glad we could provide him with some opportunities to improve his cricket and live the Australian dream for a short while.

Congrats Vansh on a sensational season

Vale Robert Allan

Stockton & Northern Districts Cricket Club are deeply saddened by the passing of Life Member Robert Allen.

Robbie was a not only a long time player and committee member but a lifelong supporter of the club.

Robbie held the role of treasurer during arguably one of the clubs most successful periods in the 1970s and 1980s.

We pass on our deepest condolences to Robbie's wife Kris and the family and friends.
