Belmont District Cricket Club President's Report and 1st Grade Report 1992/1993

This season was one of the great changes for the Belmont first-grade team. We saw the departure of some very experienced players who had served the club well over a number of years, these being replaced by some young faces. It was therefore going to be a season of consolidation for this team and indeed the club, however, I believe we achieved more than that.

The most significant achievement was that of winning the Club Championship

Aimee Ravot #75 - Penrith Cricket Club

I started my cricket journey at Richmond Cricket Club playing U10s. I was then asked to play at Glenmore Park Cricket Club in an all-girls team. Then I was asked to trial for the Penrith Junior Cricket Association Margaret Peden (U15s) girls representative team, and ever since then I have played at Penrith Cricket Club and have been working my way up into First Grade.

I’ve travelled to Alice Springs to play in the National Indigenous Cricket Competition tournament (NICC), where I was named in the Team of the Tournament and awarded a Cricket Australia Indigenous Baggy Black cap.

Sarah Berman reflects on her first season with the Bears, where they could have gone all the way but for the weather.

In 2018-19, the Bears assembled a fearsome First Grade line-up after a few seasons near the bottom of the ladder. The Crosthwaite and Alexander brothers moved across from Manly, Justin Avendano and Tom Jagot were at the peak of their powers, overseas bowler Toby Lester returned for a second season to partner James Campbell with the new ball, and the Aitken brothers were still reliably doing their thing with bat and ball.

On a beautiful sunny day perfect for cricket, the UTS North Sydney Brewer Shield side took the field against a quality side, Parramatta. The Bears posted 5/186 in their 50 overs, led by Varada Vinay with 89. But it was Lana Sredojevic in the Parramatta innings who stole the show for the Bears.

Lana truly shone with the ball, delivering an outstanding performance taking 7 wickets for 22 runs off 10 overs, including the last two wickets of the match in the last two balls of her allotment.

Kyle Brockley and Jake Wilson break two 1st Grade partnership records in the space of five rounds

Play resumed at 1.40pm and the partnership continued on. With a previous highest score in 1st Grade of 34, Kyle brought up his maiden half-century with a six. On and on they went, until the scheduled time for the tea break of 3.10pm was reached. By this stage, the score had moved on to 9/202 off 67 overs. Again play was extended for up to 30 minutes. Kyle was eventually dismissed at 3.21pm for 71 (153 minutes, 131 balls, 13 fours & 1 six), while Jake was not out on 42 (131 minutes, 133 balls, 5 fours & 1 six). The score was 207, so the 10th wicket partnership had put on 119, breaking the Sutherland 1st Grade record of 81 set by Daniel Rixon and Chad Gilmour in 2010-11.

It can be quite appealing to peer back through ‘the looking glass’ into the club’s history vault to view a sample of some of Parramatta District Cricket Club’s battles of the past, it is interesting to note the names and the deeds of days gone by:

Percy’s Match!!! – “The Parramatta Alfred Cricket Club opened the season’s play, on their own ground, on Saturday afternoon last, by the first eleven meeting representatives of the Arundel Cricket Club.

On the 26th of January, the Dunbar Pavilion, like many of the amazing cricketers that played in front of the spectators it housed, reached a century.

You can only imagine the feats that have been witnessed in the the years since it was built in 1925. The premierships, the performances, the battles, the start of many amazing careers, the ups and downs of cricket.... and the mateships forged. It hasn't been just cricket. The history of Hurstville Oval is so vast and amazing that it even had a 261 page book written about it in 2001 named Hurstville Oval, A History Of Sport And Community.

Belmont District Cricket Club President's Report and 1st Grade Report 1991/1992

Throughout the season, there were some very good performances. Of those who did all that was asked of them, Steve Moroney continued to prove what a sound player he is. With over 500 runs for the season, Steve ensured we generally got off to a sound start. The same can be said of Steve Clarkson, who, after a slow start, really put it together later in the season.

We hope Steve elects to come back in the near future because his services are certainly appreciated by this club.

Greg Charlton, Allan Sharp, and Eric Tyrrell provided a sound middle order once again, whilst Peter Schacht kept wickets ably

A matchless piece of the Parramatta District Cricket Club’s history, is that it is the only NSW Premier Cricket Club to have played against six touring English International Teams. In the 1880s and 90s the visiting English teams used to traditionally open the New South Wales leg of their Australian tours in Parramatta, locking horns with the local club’s combinations of either 18 or 22 players. The matches shone as quite a social occasion for the good folk of the town.
