A talent lost: Ronald Lockrey

Ronald Lockrey started at North Sydney High School in 1935 and graduated in 1938. While in his last year at school he was chosen in the very first A.W. Green Shield team for Gordon in the 1937-38 season.

Gordon had four wins (two outright) and one loss during the season and one of the leading bowlers for Gordon Ron Lockrey (10 at 7.40).

It was after leaving school that his cricket career started in earnest with nine games in the Fourth Grade team after Christmas where his ability as a batsman started to shine when he scored 418 runs in nine innings with four not outs and an average of 83.10. This included a score of 105. The next season (1939-40) was also productive, with 288 runs in Fourth grade and another century and 227 runs in Third grade, totalling 515 runs for the season. What a talent!
