Georgia Macdonald (G-Mac), pace bowler for UTS North Sydney’s Women’s Second Grade side, has hit the ground running this season with a new sense of grit and determination to her game and is excelling rapidly.

G-Mac known around the program for her contagious laugh and excellent taste in cricket sunnies not only strives for her own personal best but is the first one to congratulate and loudly cheer on teammates when they succeed, it’s what makes her such a cherished part of our women’s program.

In Beijing, cricket is maintained by an expat population while Shanghai and Hangzhou is home to the CCA. With the International Olympic Committee approving cricket for the next Olympics in LA, the CCA have set a course to grow cricket and enter the international stage. Therefore, in late December a touring squad of 50 male and female cricketers and coaches arrived in Sydney for a training camp. As a result, a Randwick Petersham XI was selected for a T20 match against the men’s side at their training base, St Andrew’s College, Sydney University.

Jordy Netto had a different introduction than most to Sydney First Grade cricket. The then-18-year-old was strapping his pads on at Bon Andrews, playing Third Grade against Northern District.

UTS North Sydney Opening batsman, Tim Reynolds, had just been flattened by a Charlie Anderson bouncer, and required a concussion sub. North Sydney captain at the time, Nic Bills, knocked on the door and told Netto to stop padding up here, you need to come pad up at North Sydney Oval. He became First Grade cap 699 and hit his first ball through the covers for four, and is now an established player in Sydney's top flight.

A long, long time ago ----------------------

Reflecting on memories many decades ago from the old Greg Chappell Cricket Centre (GCCC) on Dover Street at Albion, just a few numbers down the road from where the shop is situated today. In the 70s and 80s, it was set up primarily as a 4 lane indoor net facility with a little cricket shop at the front.

As seasons pass, many young players perform brilliantly in the AW Green Shield competition. It’s a wonderful experience for 14-15 year olds to test their skills against their peers in probably their first seasons with a senior Grade club.

There was one Gordon player, however, whose statistics stand out far beyond those of any other boy who has played in the Green Shield competition.

In 1951-52, Ken Eastwood was playing his fourth year of Green Shield for Gordon

As our Green Shield season recently came to a close, it is appropriate that we share one of the more remarkable scorecards in Penrith's Green Shield history.

In the 1992/93 season, Round 7 of Green Shield, Penrith would take on Mosman at Cook Park (Bill Ball Oval). The two opening bowlers would combine for all ten wickets with Glen Becker taking a remarkable 9/21 off 11.4 overs including 4 maidens.

It was to be an all-Bear affair in the first fixture, with UTS facing Western Sydney. Strong contributions from the Bears helped UTS chase 92 after bowling WSU out, with Chris taking 3/10 [3], Adam Cavenor 3/20 [4] & 33 runs, Vrushab Kumar 2/16 [4] and Drew Sellers with an unbelievable catch on the boundary.

It was Kaustav’s turn on Day 2 of the tournament, taking 4/8 [3] (including a spell of 4/0), with Finn 1/10 [4] and Vrushab 2/10 [4] chipping in, bowling Southern Cross University out for 37.

Since the inception of Test cricket in 1877, until the 23rd of January 2025, only 469 men and 184 women have had the honour of playing for Australia.

Michael Clarke is one of those fortunate few to wear the baggy green cap, and now he has been inducted into an even more select group as only the 64th member of the Australian Cricket Hall of Fame.

Sledging. It’s lost some of its lustre, yeah? The PC requirements of the modern day has meant comments about rival players being shit blokes gets the media wetting themselves over the wit, class, cunning and hard arsed edge from which the game is currently played.

Give Painey credit, he does make the below list of celebrated verbal heroes, and he does so as an eleven-year-old chump. He’s got it in him, Painey; but this last test match was falsely made out to be played with same ferocity as the Battle of Britain – both the war and the North Melbourne v Carlton game from 1987.

Jane Maguire Penrith CC First Grade Cap #81 and Ireland International

I’ve played with my local club since the age 6 at The Hills Cricket Club, which is located in a small town called Skerries, in Dublin, Ireland. And to this day I still play and captain our 1s team. I’ve also had the opportunity to play senior cricket here in Penrith for my second year and hopefully not my last!
