Randwick Petersham Cricket v Sydney – Poidevin Gray

After a disappointing opening day of the 2024-25 cricket season yesterday, with 1st Grade losing both of their Twenty20 matches, the club bounced back today with a great win in the under 21 Poidevin-Gray competition. And with a new club record to boot!

Playing Sydney CC at Petersham, the visitors were asked to bat first and were away to a good start getting to 3-82 off 15 overs. Seven bowlers had been tried and for the 24th over of the innings, the ball was thrown to Vansh Bhatia. A right-arm leg-spinner who ironically joined us from Sydney CC during the off-season, the youngster was in his first day out with his new club. And what a day out he had!

Over the following 13.3 overs, Sydney crashed from 3-107 to be all out for 163 with Vansh TAKING ALL SEVEN WICKETS IN SUCCESSION for figures of 7-35 off 7.3 overs. After having 3-28 off 3.2 overs, with 24 of those coming from 3 sixes and 2 fours, he took 4-7 off his final 25 balls to record figures which are the best-ever for the club in this competition. He had 5 caught, got one lbw then bowling the last. The previous best was 5-21 by Jamie Boettiger in 2005-06.

And the batters didn’t let him down as they chased down the target with a score of 4-164 in just 28 of the available 50 overs for a huge win. Zak Keogh remained 79* while another debutant, Angus Cornish, was also undefeated on 26*.

The boys play Northern District in a Twenty20 match at Coogee Oval NEXT SUNDAY at 9.30am with the 1st Grade T20, also against NDs, following at 2pm.

The Women's cricket program at Stockton & Northern Districts Cricket Club continues to go from strength to strength.

Starting out as a Friday evening social event and progressing to our first ever competitive team in 202-23 and narrowly missing a place in the final of the Plate competition, Women’s team was promoted to the Cup competition for 2023-24 season. In what was a very unbalanced but tough competition, the team performed remarkably well and coming into the last round had an excellent chance of making the semifinals. However, a washout killed that possibility.

From Good Stock: Wicketkeeping Runs in the Family
Jake Hainsworth made a pivotal decision to join the Seagulls before the 2020 season, transitioning from Newcastle City to Stockton & Northern Districts in search of greater opportunities with the gloves. With a clear vision for his future, Hainsworth wasted no time in making his mark. Over his first four seasons, he has twice been named the NDCA Wicketkeeper of the Year and secured a place in the Newcastle Representative squad. His journey is a testament to his dedication and ambition, firmly establishing him as a standout talent within the club.

Wicketkeeping is a tradition in the Hainsworth family. Jake's uncle, Marcus, a long-standing wicketkeeper for Belmont and Newcastle, has been a major influence on Jake's cricketing career. This family legacy has undoubtedly played a role in shaping Jake's path and passion for wicketkeeping.

Stockton skipper Nick Foster credits Hainsworth's success to his "outstanding work ethic and willingness to learn and challenge himself." Foster adds, "Jake has a bright future and will no doubt push for higher honors over the coming seasons."

Beyond his on-field achievements, Jake has quickly emerged as a leader within the club, setting a strong example for others to follow.

Vale Rhys Banwell

It is my very sad duty to report the passing of Life Member, Rhys Banwell, at Coffs Harbour on Friday 13 September. Rhys had battled cancer over the past few years. He turned 65 only last Tuesday.

Rhys was a brilliant if not enigmatic cricketer. He played A W Green Shield for Randwick when he was aged 12, 13, 14 and 15. However, he didn’t make his Grade Cricket debut until he was 19, Despite his late arrival, he played a leading hand in Randwick winning the 4th Grade premiership that season after belting 83* in the dark, batting at no. 8 in the semi-final. He had another premiership the following season in 3rd Grade.

Vale Frank Misson 1938-2024

The NSW cricket community is saddened by the passing this week of former Blues (cap #511) and Australian Test (cap #217) player Frank Misson, aged 85.

Born in Darlinghurst in Sydney, Misson was inspired to become a fast bowler after watching the great Ray Lindwell in 1950. As he grew through his teens he became a stellar athlete, going on to train as a runner in Portsea with legendary coach Percy Cerutty, whose influence rubbed off on Misson, leading to a fascination with health and fitness that was ahead of his time.

At just twenty years of age when he made his First-Class debut in the last Sheffield Shield match of the 1958/59 season, Misson took 3/31 and 3/64 and New South Wales won by an innings and 103 runs and retained the Shield.

By the end of 1959/60, Misson had won a place in an Australian second XI that toured New Zealand. In three matches against New Zealand, he took 17 wickets at 12.47, leading to higher honours.

In 1960/61, the West Indies toured Australia and Misson made his Test debut in the Second Test, replacing an injured Ian Meckiff. Misson took a wicket with his second ball, and with Meckiff back for the Third Test, Misson carried the drinks. Meckiff missed the last two Tests and Misson was used again.

On the 1961 Ashes Tour, Misson played in the first Two Tests, but an Achilles injury thereafter limited his use, both on the tour and in the rest of his career. He took 16 wickets at 38.50 in his five Tests with a best of 4-58.

His First-Class career ended in 1963/64 with 177 wickets at 31.13 in 71 matches. Of those, 42 were for New South Wales, and in those he took 85 wickets at 37.72.

Cricket NSW CEO Lee Germon said Misson’s passing would be felt by the cricket community.

“We pass on our sincerest condolences to Frank’s family and friends, especially all of those that played with him as part of the NSW Men’s Team and the Australian Men’s Team,” Germon said.

“Frank’s career was cut short by injury, which was ironic considering the focus he had on health, diet and fitness in an era where sports science was not very prevalent.

“His five Test caps are recognition of his talent and determination and there is little doubt that if it wasn’t for injury he would have played many more times for his state and country.”
