Manly Warringah District Cricket Club

Sydney, New South Wales, Australia

In April 1905, the NSW Cricket Association promoted the club to the first-grade competition. However, in doing so it was decided that Manly Cricket Club, as it was called at the time, would be combined with Mosman and took a new name - the Middle Harbour Cricket Club. The Association decided, however, that the Club's boundaries would remain within the Municipality of Manly, and that the territory within the adjoining Municipality of Mosman would be neutral territory.

The decision was hotly protested for some years by the Club's committee who felt strongly that as the district was part of the Electorate of Middle Harbour, it should have been included in the Club's boundaries, and that players resident in Mosman should be compelled to play with the new Club.

Kim Barrie Q&A

How did you become involved with the club you’re currently associated with?

We came to the club for the 1995/96 season as our friend Adam Taylor asked Scott if he was interested in playing grade cricket again, so we came to Belmont.

In late March 2022 Richard Holdsworth approached the Club enquiring whether we could host Cricket Ireland again in the lead up to the 2022 ICC T20 World Cup in Australia. Unlike 2015 this only provided 6 months to plan their 10 day stay. John Stewart immediately enlisted a committee to plan every minute detail to engage sponsors, organise accommodation and transport, ground preparation, advertising, catering, match days, opposition, and catering. Randwick Petersham’s gratitude is extended to Mike Whitney, Jeremy Jastrzab, Peter Devlin, Roy Robinson, Jo Robinson, Damian Sidney, Tom Holland, Chris Sullivan, Dale Hackney and E-Young Khoo, Jay Patel, Jaya Murdita, and Nick Saady assisting all the way from New York for their wonderful dedication to pull off this mammoth and successful undertaking in such a limited timeframe.

St George 2023-24 First XI (Part 2)

Now for the final 6 best moments of the 2023-24 season....
6. Ed Pollock scores fastest Limited Over 1st Grade century

After his first few digs in Australia it became evident that Ed was going to explode with something special. That happened in Rd 10 when Ed pulverised Fairfield-Liverpool for 116 from just 58 balls. We’re going out on a limb in suggesting that this is the fastest century in our white ball 1st grade history. He brought up his century from just 50 balls with a monster pull shot that almost made it back to his hometown in England.

A fresh-faced Ollie Sykes arrived in Sydney as a Surrey academy player through the International Cricket Programme with tremendous wraps on his ability to dismantle bowling attacks and single-handedly take the game away from the opposition.

He ended up living up – and surpassing – all of the accolades above during his season of Grade Cricket with the UTS North Sydney Bears and beyond.

“Getting awarded that contract was a dream come true and still hasn’t really sunk in. When I was told, my family stood outside the door, trying to listen to the phone call. I don’t want to get too far ahead of myself, but I believe I can go further now. I have since been told I’m getting a 2-year contract, so hopefully, it’s the start of a long career at Surrey.

The Gordon District Cricket Club was officially formed on 12 January 1905 at a public meeting in Willoughby Town Hall. The Mayor of Willoughby Council, (Alderman FC Petrie) was the Chairman and several representatives of the NSW Cricket Association were present. The new club took over the Willoughby District Cricket Club who had operated at Chatswood since 1900 playing in noncompetitive matches within the City and Suburban Cricket Association. This started the ball rolling on preparations for their first match later that year. Eighty seven names were handed in to form the membership list.

Elise Noble - Penrith Cricket Club First Grade Cap No 52

Growing up I was surrounded by cricket as my dad and grandpa coached my brother’s team. At a young age I played backyard cricket and transitioned into the U10's Modified competition, playing for Greystanes Cricket Club. At the age of 13 I began playing for Parramatta in the female competition Mollie Dive. I played at Parramatta for 5 years, working my way up to second grade and eventually first grade. In 2019, I moved to Penrith Cricket Club and have been a member of the first grade team ever since.

UTS North Sydney's 2023/24 Clubman of the year, Jimmy Greenslade, is more than just a classy First Grade batsman. The 23-year-old is known for driving standards and taking ownership of the club's culture, using all his knowledge from his background in rugby union.

We sat down with the Mosman-raised New Zealander and learned more about the person behind the bat. Scratch the surface, and you'll discover a determined hard worker who doesn't take himself too seriously, loves his rugby and believes nothing is bigger than the team.
