They did it! On Sunday 23 February 2025 the Randwick Petersham Mellick Wealth Management First XI won the Limited Overs Cup competition for the third time, defeating the unbeaten Parramatta XI at Old Kings, Parramatta Park. Final scores were Randwick Petersham 7-270––Parramatta 226. The scores, however, in no way reflect the closeness of the contest. With 10 overs to go, the match could have gone either way.

Day two of the UTS North Sydney vs Northern District First Grade fixture saw former North Sydney players descend on North Sydney Oval for the first of – hopefully many – Old Bears Days.

The fixture certainly delivered as North Sydney celebrated Bears from every era. A string of late partnerships in Norths’ pursuit of 296 anchored by Jimmy Greenslade’s 82 off 156 put the Bears in a position to pounce on Old Boys Day.

Aarav Sharma is a talented leg spin bowler who joined Western Suburbs District Cricket Club at the beginning of the 2024/25 season.

Aarav's relentless ability to bowl for hours in the nets at training and spin the ball a long way is what makes him such a promising young spin bowler.

This season, Aarav has been a strong member of the Western Suburbs fifth grade side and was a part of the AW Green Shield side which made it through to the semi finals.

This week in the final round of the NSW Premier Cricket competition St George will play local rivals Sutherland. In first Grade they will be contesting the Norm O'Neill Cup.

The introduction of Sutherland for the 1965/66 season meant St George lost roughly half of its junior base. In an era when qualification for a Club was determined by where you lived, that meant 20 players were now moving to the new Club. Norm O’Neill, St George’s recently retired international superstar, was very nervous when he approached his long time friend, Club Captain, Warren Saunders, to say he had been asked to Captain the new Club.

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.
