Story

A match to remember

• 15/10/2011- Riley Miedler (A2) had a day to remember. After taking 5/18 on Day 1 Riley. On the 2nd day, opening the bowling in the 2nd innings he took 6/11. An outstanding standalone performance but how about this effort:
  • Match figures of 11/29 – the 47th time in our 81 year history a player has taken 10 wickets in a match
  • This is the best bowling performance in any grade since the 14 wickets for 96 runs by Ben McNamara in D1 on the 12th and 13th February 2006
  • Riley’s hat-trick is the 36th taken in our history
  • It was also the first time a hat-trick had been taken in the 1st over on an innings.
• 17/2/2018 – Rick Turner, Alex Turner and Zac Turner became the first time a father and 2 x son combination played A2 Grade together. The first game of the 2017/18 season was the 1st time a father and son (Rick and Alex) played A2 together  on 23 September 2018 at Dural Park.

Caterson 4

This is the equal greatest number of 6’s in an over by a West Penno player equalling the record set on 12/1/2008 (A2 Vs Galston-Glenorie 2 @ Mt Ku-ring-gai) when Ronan Barrett hit 4 in the 16th over to win the game.
