Achievements

  • 31/10/10 Eric Junkkari (C1) took his 350th career wicket Vs St Ives
  • 11/10/14 an amazing Team effort with the B2 Grade boys scoring 4/516 in 75 overs. Kyle Faber (127) and Anuj Dhorajiwala (115), Justin Paterson (87*) and Nick Johnson (86*) and Anurag Pattekar (50*) were dominant. Some highlights of this innings are:
    • The 4/506 is the highest score by any Team (all Grades) in our history. It beat the previous record score of 494 scored by our B1 side against Cowan at Brooklyn way back in 1965/66
    • The previous Club B2 record score was 430 in 2009/10 against Castle Hill at Greenway on 7/11/2009
    • A Club record 326 runs in boundaries was scored with 74 boundaries (296 runs) and 5 x sixers (30 runs)
  • 9/1/2016 – on Saturday 9 January 2016 (C4 Grade Vs Kissing Point) Ray hit 5 x 6’s in succession. After being dropped twice after 3 overs Ray, who opens the batting, commented to his batting partner (Ian Paterson) that he couldn’t find the middle of the bat – what followed was carnage. From a bowler who had 0/9 (3 overs) he took 31 runs off the next over – the sequence was 6 (lost ball), 6, 6, 6, 6, bye – a Club record for the most consecutive 6’s.
