After compiling a sterling First Grade career with Parramatta District Cricket stalwart paceman Ben Martin decided to ‘hang up the boots’ at the close of the 2018/19 season.

The scrawny little Kings Langley junior, by his late teens, had morphed into a tall, strapping fast bowler and after spearheading PDCA to win the Under 19 Durham Shield Final, with a ‘seven wicket bag,’ decided the time was ripe in 2007/08 to venture into the Premier Cricket ranks with Parramatta – promptly making his presence felt by debuting in 1st Grade in that initial season.

While the Battle of Fromelles was declared as the worst single day of fighting in Australian military history another battle in a different part of the Somme was about to become the worst battle in history over an extended period.

As the news of the disaster at Fromelles was probably making its way to Pozieres, there were six Gordon cricketers waiting their turn to experience the horrors of fighting against the German juggernaut. The Gordon cricketers were part of the 1st, 2nd and 4th Divisions, and had been sent to the area around the village of Pozières in the southern region of the Somme.

The final day of cricket for the 2008-2009 season for first grade, belonged to Matt Nicholson who retired from all cricket on that day. It was undoubtedly a sad day for Matt, the end of a stellar career that included a Test match for Australia, an Australia 'A' match against India, First class careers for NSW, Western Australia, Northamptonshire and Surrey and a grade career first with Gordon, a stint with Scarborough in the west and then a return to Gordon.

In total for Gordon Nicho has taken 242 wickets at an average of 17.66. This of course would have been considerably more except that he played many half seasons for Gordon during his career, except for his last season, Gordon due to representative duties.

Ben Abbott is an entertainer, probably as explosive a batsman as any that have ever played for the club, capable of unleashing ferocious clean-hitting and at ‘full steam’ he burnishes his cricket bat like Thor’s Hammer crushing any bowler who has the audacity to deliver a ball in his direction.

The sturdily built right-hander is a cavalier character – sports a bushy bushranger beard, wears a Viking like pigtail hair style and is branded with a multitude of tattoos – and over the last few seasons the younger sibling of Sean Abbott has established himself as one of the most feared batsmen in Sydney 1st grade Premier Cricket.

There is no greater compliment to a sport person than when team mates say “they’re someone who everyone wants to play with.”

Graeme Rummans is the epitome of such a sports person.

Graeme played first class cricket for New South Wales and Victoria and is quite rightly regarded as one of the most successful cricketers ever to play grade cricket across all states in Australia. He’s a winner.

At Grade, District and Premier Cricket Graeme is without peer.

In total for St George and St Kilda Graeme scored 15,387 runs in 391 innings. 68 not outs. Average 47.64, 34 Centuries. 89 Half Centuries.

There have been few greater entertainers on the cricket field than Johnny Martin. “Little Fav” as he was known, was a wily left-hand unorthodox spin bowler, an aggressive six-hitting batsman and enthusiastic fieldsman whose smiling and chirpy demeanour made him a huge favourite with cricket crowds around the world.

A product of the thriving metropolis of Burrell Creek near Wingham where he was born on 28 July 1931, Martin was 22 years old when he ventured to Sydney to take up an invitation to play with the Petersham-Marrickville club

This week in the final round of the NSW Premier Cricket competition St George will play local rivals Sutherland. In first Grade they will be contesting the Norm O'Neill Cup.

The introduction of Sutherland for the 1965/66 season meant St George lost roughly half of its junior base. In an era when qualification for a Club was determined by where you lived, that meant 20 players were now moving to the new Club. Norm O’Neill, St George’s recently retired international superstar, was very nervous when he approached his long time friend, Club Captain, Warren Saunders, to say he had been asked to Captain the new Club.
