Q: My Best Grade team - Ashley Holznagel 1992 to 2005
I started my Grade Cricket journey at Souths back in 1992 and had 12 great years at the club. I was lucky to play in a 2nd Grade premiership in 1995-96 and First Grade premiership in 2000-01. A great journey and a privilege to play for such a traditional club.
I moved up to the Sunshine Coast for the 2004-05 season and thoroughly enjoyed 3 years of playing first grade with a ‘team first mentality ‘of the playing group.
Eddo Brandes was our coach and I learnt a lot as captain.
I played 2nd Grade after that and enjoyed helping the next generation of Scorchers come through. I coached at Sandgate-Redcliffe for 2 seasons and enjoyed every minute with a fantastic club. I’ve returned to the Sunshine Coast for the last 4 seasons and have enjoyed being involved with a special playing group.
To be involved with cricket and enjoy the competitiveness of Grade Cricket is a privilege. Cricket teaches us all a lot about life and how to bounce back from tough times. The game is a great leveller.
To be with Alecz Day when he had his heart attack and be able to play a part in saving his life along with John Turnbull and Ashley Renouf was a special moment in my life. A moment in time that everyone in our Scorchers Club will never forget. The cricket community was amazing during this time and I am forever grateful.
It’s been a wonderful journey and cricket has been good to me. Here’s my best Grade team made up of players I played with from 1992 to 2005. It goes without saying Andy Bichel and Ashley Noffke would be automatically selected but given they were on Queensland and Australia duties most of the time they weren’t considered for selection. Both were fantastic for their clubs and tremendous role models.
