Stockton & Northern Districts Cricket Club is pleased to announce that David Redden has been awarded Life Membership at our annual presentation dinner Queens Wharf Hotel on Saturday evening.

It is hard to put in to words what David has done for Stockton & Northern Districts Cricket Club.

David was introduced to the club by former Seagull Trent Colley and ever since David has filled the role of 1st Grade Manager along with a variety of other roles within the club. As anyone who knows David will know, the work he gets through and selflessness he shows is nothing short of extraordinary.

David has been a constant pillar of strength through the ups and downs. Always a great sounding board, a voice of reason, a shoulder to cry on and a friend to everyone that crossed his path. His ability to build relationships is remarkable and he is widely respected and loved not only within our club but also within the Newcastle and Country Cricket community.

In addition to his roles with our club, David has been a magnificent ambassador for our club as long serving manager of Newcastle Colts and Senior Representative teams and the NSW Bush Blues. David was also recently awarded Life Membership of Country Cricket NSW.

It would be remiss not to mention the contribution of David's wife Merrillie, who has supported his commitment to the club. Thank you Merrillie!

We are immensely proud to honour David Redden with Life Membership of our club. A seagull for life!

My Best Grade team - Phil Marks 1979 to 2000

I played first grade from 1979 to 2000 across three clubs, Manly, Balmain and North Sydney. I played with some wonderful cricketers and had real trouble narrowing it down to eleven. Starting my career as an allrounder I’ve picked 4 of them in this side for variety to cover all conditions. Plenty of runs in the top and middle order, fire power and subtlety with the ball and natural talent in the field.

1. Greg Hayne - Balmain

Boris was an opening bowlers nightmare, very organised with an uncomplicated technique. Punished the new ball bowlers if they missed their spots and loved batting for long periods. Amazing Premier cricket batting numbers.

2. Scott Hookey – North Sydney

Devastating hard hitting batter with an attitude to match. Loved a scrap with the bowlers and started many, most of which he won.

England’s Rob Key backs Kookaburra ball for full-time use in county cricket

“I think it’s been fantastic,” said Key. “You see what four-day cricket is meant to be. I’ve watched quite a bit this week and seen some bloody good cricket. I would use the Kookaburra all the time. English cricket would be much better off for it.”
But county cricket is meant to go four days. This week has shown it’s rewarding the right type of players. Cricket is about watching pace bowlers, spinners and really good batting. Four days is about the journey.”
“The pitches are slow this time of year but watching medium pacers is a waste of time,” said Key. “Teams need to find quicker bowlers or ones who will force a wicket. You can’t just keep running up bowling at 75mph. And in terms of those guys who are not express, you really work out who can bowl.

My son is 15 and loves cricket. During the off-season last year, he worked really hard on his batting.
He was opening the batting and really enjoyed it and wanted to get a lot better. But after two games and he scored 33 and 41 the coach said he batted too slow and for the rest of the season he was batting down the order and didn’t get many chances.
No, he says what’s the point of training this off season. It’s sad as he really does love batting and the game. What advice could anyone offer?

Randwick Petersham Cricket Club

Burt Cockley played first class cricket for NSW and Western Australia. He played T20 Cricket for the Perth Scorchers in the BBL and for Kings XI Punjab in the IPL.

He played NSW Premier Cricket for Randwick Petersham

In first class cricket Burt took 44 wickets in 14 games at an average of 28.40 with best figures of 5 for 76.

As a fast bowler Burt had speed (over 140km) and muscle and he loved nothing more than the freedom of bowling as fact as he could. Unfortunately consistent injuries curtailed his career.

Despite the setbacks and frustrations Burt has found a new path and there are no limits.
