Story

The 1951/52 A Grade Final started on 19 April and ended on 21 June (10 Saturdays). In these days, Finals were ‘timeless’ and played out over 4 innings. The game was started at Bannockburn Oval but at week 10 of the Final the wicket was covered for the football season. The game was then moved to Hassell Park – St Ives home ground. After being well placed we lost. Those who play attribute this to the change in venue to St. Ives home ground. After this we lost a number of our A Grade players, including Laurie Tuckerman (an Association record of 1, 360 runs at 85.06 and also took 59 wickets at 17.39 in the season) never played in the Association again.
