After the first fifty years, the then Secretary, Jack Hoelscher, wrote the Club history. In his speech at the nineteenth anniversary dinner, Bob Young enlarged on this history. This history has drawn upon parts of both efforts. Prior to this current publication there has not been a list of players. Information has been gathered from annual reports post 1924, and newspaper results from 1897 to 1924. My thanks to QCA historian Warwick Torrens who provided information from his vast knowledge of Queensland cricket, and Ian Sturgess also of the QCA who is collecting information on club cricket in Brisbane. The material contained in this book has been collected over a period of three years. I hope you enjoy reading the Club’s history in its hundredth year.

  • 1997 — Rebuilding Can Be Fun!
    1997 — REBUILDING CAN BE FUN! There was no despondency in the air following the relegation, and the 1st XI, with captain Mark Sutcliffe, set about the task of returning to the 1st division without delay. From the outset they were top of the table and they completed the season undefeated in the league, and won the divisional cup. WINNERS OF THE 2ND DIVISION CUP IN 1997 Tim Mansfield (711 runs at 30.9, 51 wickets at 8.35) had a great season, and Angela Murphy (scorer) Chris Kinson Mike Park Tim Mansfield Simon Moulson Brian Danson Michael Armstrong Phil Oliver made his presence felt with bat and ball, scoring his maiden Harry Murphy (wk) Steve Parkinson Phil Oliver Paul Yates (capt) Terry Dickinson century and finishing at the top of the divisional bowling averages.

  • DINNER NEWSLETTER: P12
    Cheshire County Cricket League Keeping you connected … DECEMBER, 2016 NEWSLETTER WISHES … A HAPPY CHRISTMAS & NEW VEAR TO ALL CHESHIRE CRICKET LOVERS When England’s ‘Baby Boycott’ played for Nantwich A SMART piece of research has revealed that Haseeb Hameed, England’s new opening batsman on the Indian tour, played six games in the ECB Premier League for Nantwich in 2014 while a 17 year-old at the Lancashire Academy. Hameed’s record with the Dabbers was as follows: Home to Bowdon on June 28: lbw Ashling 0. Nantwich won Home to Toft July 5: st Bajha b Lomas 44. Nantwich lost. Away to Alderley Edge on July 12: c Worrall b Foreman 32. Match abandoned Home to Urmston on July 26: lbw Sydall 1. Match drawn Home to Grappenhall on September 6: b Guest 7. Nantwich won Away to Bowdon on September 13: b Ashling 11. Nantwich won. That’s 94 runs from six innings, average 15.66 and twice dismissed by Bowdon’s former Glamorgan paceman Chris Ashling! Nantwich committeeman Neil Forster told Newsletter: “It was obvious from the moment Haseeb took guard in the first game that he was destined for bigger things. While he didn’t get any big scores for us, he showed against Toft and Alderley Edge that he was a class act. He always had a smile on his face and was very good to have around. We are not surprised he has done so well and expect him to come right to the fore next summer for England”. O Newsletter thanks League secretary Geoff Wellsteed for the stats.
