Dave Evans was a true Gordon legend - Part 1

David John Evans was born at Merewether, a suburb of Newcastle, on 13 December 1919. His family moved to Cobar Street, Willoughby, close to that suburb’s boundary with Artarmon, when he was seven. He had two brothers, Trevor and Basil, and went to Artarmon Primary School.

His father, also David, was a keen cricketer who had played First Grade with the Randwick club. This keenness rubbed off on Dave at an early age and he soon found that there was a backyard in Cooney Road, Artarmon, not far away, which was like a miniature Sydney Cricket Ground

There is a pattern that repeats itself throughout the history of the Western Suburbs club, in which, first, the club builds itself up into a position of enviable strength - and then it unravels. The unravelling has seldom been as sudden or dramatic as it was in the seasons after 1987. Of the eleven players who performed so well in the frustrating semi-final of March 1987, only one was still in the Wests First Grade side at the start of 1990-91.

There were any number of reasons for the exodus of players, and some were unavoidable. Dirk Wellham, David Gilbert and Scott Hookey all elected to accept offers to play for Tasmania, Chris Killen agreed to appear for South Australia

Marcus William ‘Marc’ Bosley – A Natural Leader - Parramatta District Cricket Club

Apart from his own bowling prowess, Marc Bosley earned lasting repute within the Parramatta club as one of its most distinguished 1st Grade captains. During the 1930s he captained the team for six years, with the ‘jewel in the crown’ being the winning of the elusive 1st Grade Premiership - the club’s second title in 1932/33 – his leadership was at its pinnacle as he guided a very young and inexperienced Cumberland team to a totally unexpected premiership

Only eight days after Wests had claimed the 1914-15 title, Australian forces landed at Gallipoli, bringing home the seriousness of the war. As casualty lists mounted, competitive cricket seemed more and more like an inappropriately frivolous pastime, and cricketers risked facing allegations of "shirking". Increasing numbers of Wests cricketers signed up, and their names began to appear on the casualty lists: John Blacklock, a keen member of the club's City & Suburban team, fell in the vicious fighting at Lone Pine, aged only 21.

Penrith Cricket Club's first Life Member, 'The Colonel' - Allan Blanche

Allan Blanche, softly spoken, generous and a true gentleman, was one of those champions who preferred the shadows of the background to the blaze of glory, quiet type to whom the game of cricket everywhere is forever indebted.

He came to Penrith at the end of World War 2 from Rockhampton where he worked on the family cattle property. In 1954 he opened a butchery at the top end of High street, later shared with Trevor Wholohan. But he loved nothing more than to be involved in the cricket scene where he first played with Kingswood club and, in 1956, was instrumental in forming the Log Cabin Cricket Club which played in the Australian Hotels Competition.
