Penrith, the early history: A second premiership 1982/83
This was a truly amazing performance, the team's points score being a margin of 30 clear of their nearest rivals. Their 12 consecutive wins were a record for the club in any grade and would take some beating in the summers to come. In a sensible move, the NSWCA had decided that all Finals were to be at neutral grounds. Penrith's Semi-final was against Randwick at the Uni of NSW's Village Green but a wash out propelled the club into the Final against Bankstown at Hurstville Oval.
I was lucky enough to play with three from that team. Greg Monaghan (current Parramatta DCC President), his brother Ian (RIP) at Central Cumberland District Cricket Club and Ian "Wizard" Davis at Balmain DCC.
