Originally from Blacktown Wilfrid Ewens was yet another young cricketer to come to Cumberland from the Parramatta High School nursery – he started his journey with the Cumberland in A.W. Green Shield team in 1946/47.

1948/49 4th Grade captain Bill Irwin had this to say about the young Wilf in the Annual Report – “An excellent prospect with the bat; in him Cumberland appear to have unearthed a young player of exceptional promise. Has any amount of confidence. He was promoted to 3rd grade mid-way through the season.”
