On Saturday 14th February 2022 in a NSW Premier Cricket 1st grade 50 over match against the Blacktown Mounties, Luke Dempsey took centre stage and lived up to his nickname of the ‘Big Ticket.’ Chasing Blacktown’s total of 9/189 his Parramatta team was ‘teetering on the brink’ at 3/54 when he took to the crease to join captain Nick Bertus in a rescue mission. The robust, bearded Dempsey then proceeded to ‘unleash the monster’ pulverising the defenceless Blacktown bowling attack

The Parramatta District Cricket Club (then known as Parramatta and Central Cumberland Electorate Cricket Club) was one of the eight foundation clubs of the NSWCA Electorate Competition (now NSW Premier Cricket) on the 7th of October 1893 – the other clubs were East Sydney, Glebe, Manly, Paddington, Sydney University, Redfern and Canterbury.

Over the passage of time from those early days of grade cricket through to the modern era of the 21st century ‘Family Connections’ have played a large part in the Parramatta Cricket Story.

The senior member of Randwick Petersham Cricket’s supporters’ group “The Legends”, Ken White brought up a century on Wednesday 19 March 2025. It wasn’t a “ton” of runs however, but a century of years. He turned 100 years of age, celebrating the occasion with his son Alan and family in Perth, Western Australia, where he moved in 2004.

Making the 100 milestone is not surprising, as Ken was one of those determined and never-say-die cricketers in his playing days with Petersham / Petersham-Marrickville, a club he joined 77 years ago.

Two remarkable Premiership victories on this day.
In 1972, A grade won comprehensively against Unicorns and put to bed the bogey which had seen them lose four out of the previous five Finals and a wait of 19 years since their previous Premiership. For once, the batting fired and then one of Waratahs strongest ever bowling attacks - Tom Cooke, Terry Mackenzie, Brian Joyce and John Donnelly - easily accounted for the University men.
In 1995, 4th grade rolled Norths reasonably cheaply after the same side had blitzed them in the semi. Joe Cairns took a career best 7-48. Waratahs were in trouble in reply until wicketkeeper Scott Murphy came out and thrashed the bowling, making the best century made in any Waratahs Final.

In the 1983-84 season, Sutherland’s 5th Grade team scored the most dominant victory in the Club’s history at Tonkin Oval on 19 & 26 October 1983. After being sent in to bat on day one by Uni of NSW B, Sutherland were in early trouble at 4/61 after 73 minutes. Number 3 batsman Greg Horner was joined by AW Green Shield player Ben Connell and they steadied things with a partnership of 96 in 83 minutes, before Ben was dismissed for 37. This brought wicketkeeper Anthony Quinn to the crease. What ensued was a 90-minute blitzkrieg as Greg and Anthony put the Uni attack to the sword!

Two bold Premiership victories in 1974 and 1984.
In 1974, A-Res grade won on the back of a MOM performance by the veteran John Russell, who bamboozled a Hillgrove with future stars Peter Schaefer and Gavin Morgan in their ranks. Russell had match figures of 10-69, including a match defining 6-33 in Hillgrove's first innings. In 1984 Waratahs beat Easts in an epic 1st grade Final, despite losing skipper and opening bowler Wes Davis on the eve of the game. After a strong opening stand, Tony Marquardt cut Waratahs down. In reply, Steve Reading, making only his second appearance in 1sts for the season, quickly removed the top three and then Joe Harrison spun a web around the rest for a remarkable win. Centrals outgunned 2nds in their Final.
The top three grades played Semis in 1990. 1sts bowled brilliantly but only just fell over the line against Hillgrove, but both lower grades surrendered against Easts. Jeremy Roach (6-41 - pictured) kept 2nds in the game until the batsmen threw it away and 3rds were demolished by Williams of Easts.
