Engadine Dragons Cricket Club – a Proud History in Sutherland Shire ENGADINE DRAGONS CRICKET CLUB A PROUD HISTORY IN SUTHERLAND SHIRE SPORT A HISTORY OF THE CLUB SINCE ITS INCEPTION Written by Life Member Harry Robbins Edited and produced by Ian Latham & Russ Waddell Editor’s note. As co-editor with Ian Latham, and as Club President it is with pleasure I acknowledge the great commitment of time and effort made by Harry Robbins in researching and writing this book Were there a greater mantle to offer, a reward to surpass Life membership, then Harry’s contribution is singularly deserving of such honour. But such is the mettle of the man, that I know he seeks no reward. For him it will suffice that his beloved club’s history has been recorded with as much care and accuracy as anyone could hope to muster and if through his efforts this history inspires others to play the game and be a Dragon, then that is sufficient reward. Harry, the Club is indebted to you. May this book be enjoyed by many and may it by itself, be evidence of your finest innings. Russ Waddell 1 TABLE OF CONTENTS 1.

FORWARD AND ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I have to the best of my ability tried to record the correct details of the Club’s cricket history from its establishment in 1959 to the present day. Great difficulties were encountered in obtaining club records of the early days as only a small newssheet was printed until the Club’s magazine was established in 1966. The Club books were not available to me for the period between 1970 and 1977. Details for those years were obtained from both the Sutherland Shire Junior Cricket Association and Men’s Association yearbooks. In other seasons where details are missing, the omissions are due to Coaches and Captains only mentioning first names or “as this was a team effort” no mention of any player was given. My thanks and appreciation for their

  • In Packer's Shadow: Children-Controlled Cricket Matches
    In Packer’s Shadow: Children-controlled Cricket Matches of the Early- 1980s (a Western Australian example) By Kieran James Introduction Children’s rights remains an important topic in the modern day. It was distressing to see children’s rights being dismissed as soon as the Covid-19 lockdown was put into place by the British and Scottish governments in March 2020. Lip-service was paid to children’s rights for several decades’ right up until a perceived crisis occurred and then they were immediately forgotten in the name of a “public health” “pandemic.” Children were not asked their opinions on the lockdown or issues such as whether schools should be closed and exams cancelled. It was not even part of the discourse of the possible. In this new environment, a 16- or 17-year-old had as much influence and voice as a 5-year-old, i.e. absolutely zero. In Scotland, where I live today, the adults abandoned the town-centers as soon as lockdown hit. Then an unexpected new sight emerged of groups of teenagers riding around the streets on bicycles – if the adults didn’t want the town-centers then the children would take them! I was delighted to see this happen - it was their subversive protest against their own alienation. In this article I re-examine the issue of children’s control of children’s sport versus adult-control of children’s sport through a detailed study of some unique and interesting primary data from Perth, Australia, 1979-81. This primary data, derived from my own notes and documents that I wrote at the time, is a summary of the lead-up to and the first-innings of the first cricket match in a three-match series, organized by Stanley Erskine (name changed) and me, the captains of two 11-player teams of 11-year-olds.

  • Cricket Memorabilia Society Postal Auction Closing at Noon 10
    CRICKET MEMORABILIA SOCIETY POSTAL AUCTION CLOSING AT NOON 10th JULY 2020 Conditions of Postal Sale The CMS reserves the right to refuse items which are damaged or unsuitable, or we have doubts about authenticity. Reserves can be placed on lots but must be agreed with the CMS. They should reflect realistic values/expectations and not be the “highest price” expected. The CMS will take 7% of the price realised, the vendor 93% which will normally be paid no later than 6 weeks after the auction. The CMS will undertake to advertise the memorabilia for auction on its website no later than 3 weeks prior to the closing date of the auction. Bids will only be accepted from CMS members. Postal bids must be in writing or e-mail by the closing date and time shown above. Generally, no item will be sold below 10% of the lower estimate without reference to the vendor.. Thus, an item with a £10-15 estimate can be sold for £9, but not £8, without approval. The incremental scale for the acceptance of bids is as follows: £2 increments up to £20, then £20/22/25/28/30 up to £50, then £5 increments to £100 and £10 increments above that. So, if there are two postal bids at £25 and £30, the item will go to the higher bidder at £28. Should there be two identical bids, the first received will win. Bids submitted between increments will be accepted, thus a £52 bid will not be rounded either up or down. Items will be sent to successful postal bidders the week after the auction and will be sent by the cheapest rate commensurate with the value and size of the item.

    .I o 6ew Karle Simpson President ln 1958 we toured the uplands of Northamptonshire for our first game. ln following years we ventured into the jungles of eastern Surrey and the rugged grandeur of Sussex - though we also added the College in Oxford - and so the fixture list grew. Then in the 70s and BOs foreign climes beckoned. Annual pilgrimages to that Mecca for cricketers, Paris; and also Brussels and Amsterdam entered the fixture list. Not to mention our two tours to ltaly, one of which also took in Switzerland, engineered by that prince of organisers Adrian Hawkes.

    Malcolm Ward (52-59, Pa) Died on 21st August, 2020, aged 76 Good friend and contemporary, Clive Adams, received the following from Malcolm’s daughter, Kirsty. Malcolm left school and trained initially as a mechanical engineer, but quite soon, his early interest in cars and motorcycles developed into a passion for aviation. He went on to train as an aircraft engineer, working at Sywell, Cranfield and Boscombe Down during the 1960s and early 70s. His passion for aviation continued throughout his career, although he moved into sales and consultative roles within the industry in later years. He never did relish the thought of retirement and was working until only a few weeks before he died, always enjoying the challenge of a new project. Malcolm’s career and hobbies were closely aligned. After initially being involved in flying gliders, he went on to gain his private pilot’s license and flew regularly from Brimpton Airfield, near his home in South Oxfordshire. However, not entirely satisfied with this, he decided that he would like to learn aerobatics as he entered his early 70s. He was proud to have completed this rating just over a year ago and had been looking forward to flying solo. He was also rarely without a classic motorcycle to care for and ride, in which he also took great pleasure. Malcolm will be greatly missed by family and friends and in particular his partner Jill, daughter Kirsty, and grandsons Jack and Tom. Clive Adams (52-59, Pa) sent through his own thoughts about his lifelong friend: “I heard recently that my great friend and ex Wellingborough School pupil, Malcolm Ward had died.

    Ma THE World Cup winner Winfield is special guest at League Dinner, as Barlow, Jones, Smith, DAZZLER 167 Coppack and Capes receive multiple awards … Sophie Ecclestone selected for England’s Ashes campaign … AGM on November 14 – to consider applications from new clubs, promotion hopefuls and those fielding a 2nd XI … New Laws of Cricket announced – umpires alerted to the need for refresher training LEAGUE DINNER The League was delighted to welcome Lauren Winfield, a World Cup winner with England, as the special guest at its annual end -of-season presentation dinner, held this year at Hazel Grove Golf Club. For the fifth time in the nine years since the current awards format was adopted, Appleton’s Emma Barlow won the division one batting award. She also shared the division’s fielding award with Didsbury’s Hannah Jones, who also won the T20 bowling prize. Barlow and Jones weren’t the only ones to receive more than one award either. Not only did Alison Smith captain Wistaston Village to the division two title this year, but she also had an outstanding personal season, finishing top of the batting and bowling rankings in division two, and coming second in the fielding category. Kate Coppack scooped a bowling award in the league and a batting award for T20, as well as being chosen as the Coach’s Player of the Year for the Cheshire senior county team. Another recipient of two awards was Chester Boughton Hall wicketkeeper Nic Capes. Dawn Prestidge was second or third in as many as four of the CWCL award categories, but did not manage to bag a first place.
