Story

Keeping it in the family
For our C2 side (17/1/2009) there were 4 Creais’ (David, James, Marcus and Chris) on the field. With 2 Fiedler’s (Andrew and Daniel), 2 Miedler’s (Andrew and Riley) & 2 (Geoff and Nick) Starr’s you can only imagine the scorer’s life.

Not sure if the 4 Creais’ is a Club record but it would be up there. This still has a long way to go from the early teams of the Association though. The South Colah Cricket Club had 18 sons of Patrick and John Duffy (Duffy Ave) of Thornleigh, Dural CC was sustained by the seven sons of Thomas Best, Pennant Hills CC by the 10 sons of Arthur Thompson (Thompson Corner) and Castle Hill CC by the eleven sons of John James.

• 8/1/2011 – B2 Ansel Castelino bowled 4 overs and in these 24 deliveries he took 5/5 that included a hat-trick in his 2nd over. It didn’t end here. Four balls later he was on another hat-trick, and on the critical ball the batsman edged to 2nd slip. However, we didn’t have a 2nd slip in place and this was an opportunity missed. Unfortunately the Team was rolled for 40 chasing 94 to win which is our 2nd lowest score in B2 Grade.
