At one time the sole H Anderson 1993 G B T Lovell 1990 qualification for a Blue was an appearance in the annual Intervarsity match against Melbourne. Hon Justice D Armati 1978 P H T Lovell 1965 In more recent times, Blues have been awarded to enrolled students who have played at least the majority of First Grade J Baird 1979 P Mackay 1983 matches in a season and have satisfied the Blues Committee that they have performed to a sufficiently high standard.

His 7 innings included two centuries (109 a visit to the grave at Faubourg D’Amiens Cemetery one hundred years after making his club debut. and 114 not out) and he averaged over 50. It was not until 1939-40, however, that he held down a regular spot in 1®' Grade when his 425 runs were the highest in aggregate and when he scored his third century for the Club. At the end of that season, he was awarded his Blue for cricket. He captained the Poidevin-Gray team, having played in University’s first ever Poidevin-Gray XI in 1938-39, captained by future Rhodes Scholar, Rugby international, and renowned Headmaster of the Shore School, BH Travers. Blacket’s final season, in 1940-41, was the beginning of some difficult years for the Club which was severely affected by the requirements for military training and “a much more serious view of examinations than in normal times,” as the editor of the Annual Report observed. In 1941, he enlisted in the Australian Army Medical Corps and he served in New Guinea and Borneo during the War. Dr Blacket did further duties in London and eventually graduated from Sydney University again, this time as a Doctor of Medicine in 1957. He was the Foundation Professor of Medicine at the University of NSW, a position he held from 1959 until 1983 and was Director of Medicine at Pnnce Henry and Prince of Wales Hospitals. Much of his later research was related to the effects of cholesterol, blood pressure and obesity and he was Director of the National Heart Foundation from 1972 until 1986. Professor Blacket was made an Officer of the Order of Australia for services to Medicine. He could trace his family lineage back to Egbert, king of the West Saxons and the first King of England and through King Alfred the Great to distinguished recent bearers of the Blacket name, including Edmund Blacket, the colonial architect. A relation of his, Alan Russell Blacket, nephew of the well respected barrister, Wilfred Blacket, KC, also played 1** Grade cricket for the club in one season, 1914-15, while studying Law. At the end of that season, he enlisted in the 1®* AIF, was commissioned as a Lieutenant, but in August 1916, he was hit in the chest by shrapnel and died in Hospital at Boulogne, aged only 22. The Club’s sympathies are expressed to Professor Blacket’s wife of 63 years, Margaret, to his daughter, Mary, to his sons, Paul, Hugh, James and Tom and to his nine grandchildren.

Rock 1977-78 prodigy at Trinity Grammar School where, in five seasons in the 1®' XI, he scored 1338 runs at an average of R ay Coxhead 1982-83 Dr Alex Johnson 1988-89 Mrs Mary Rodgers 1998-99 23.89 and took 133 wickets at 13.18. He entered University to study Geography, and later studied History at Oxford University. In 1947 he commenced a career as a schoolmaster at his old school. Trinity. He spent Bob Cristofani 2002-03 Rev. Bernard Judd 1998-99 Dr Cecil Rogers 1976-77 two years on the staff of St. Peter’s College, Adelaide, before taking a position at Sydney Grammar school in Colin Crichton-Smith 1984-85 Ross Kelly 1969-70 Dick Rogers 1994-95 1956. He remained at Grammar until his retirement in 1984. Dr Alec Ross 1996-97 From 1971 he held the position as Assistant to the Headmaster, serving as Deputy to Alistair Mackerras, Mrs Leila Crompton 1999-2000 Bert Kennings 1987-88 who had been his colleague on the staff at Trinity. He coached Grammar’s 1®‘ XI for eleven years from 1958 Alan Ritchie Cummlng-Thom 2006-07 Denis Kevans 2005-06 Ben Salm on 1979-80 to 1968. Grammar had not won a G PS Premiership since 1922, but under Young’s guidance, the 1®* XI won Dr Alistair Cumming-Thom 2003-04 C harles King 1997-98 Dr. Stew art Smith 2002-03 no fewer than 4 premierships. Young was a neat, thoughtful right-handed batsman, with a fondness for the drive. His most memorable Athol Davis 1994-95 Peter Joseph Kinsella 2006-07 W alter South D C 2002-03 innings was his unbeaten 66 for University against St. George, whose attack was led by the great Bill David de Carvalho 1994-95 Norman Lamport 1999-2000 S ir George Stening 1996-97 O’Reilly. Dunng the war years, O’Reilly took hundreds of Grade wickets and seldom encountered much John Dettman 1997-98 Dr Jim L'Estrange 1990-91 ‘O ssie' Stenmark 1971-72 resistance, so it was an exceptional feat for a young newcomer to post a half century against him. Young admitted that he was unable to pick O’Reilly’s wrong’un, but relied upon his legendary accuracy - “if a ball Camille Dezarnaulds Snr 1999-2000 Sid Logan 1994-95 Tony Stenm ark 2001-2002 pitched on leg stump, I knew it was the leg break, because Bill wouldn’t waste a wrong’un there; if it pitched W illiam Allan Dick AO 2003-04 Dr Tony Low 2001-02 Dr Tom Street 1978-79 outside off stump, I played it as a wrong’un, and somehow got through," David Dickins 2002-03 Mrs Dixie Lovell 1998-99 Jim Sullivan 1992-93 In the next two seasons. Young was puzzlingly out of form. He captained 3'“ Grade briefly in 1945-46 and scored a pleasant 51 against Cumberland, but in his last season his 114 runs came in 9 innings and the Joseph Duggan 2005-06 Dr Kevin Lynch 1999-2000 Jim Sullivan jnr 1985-86 majority of his games were in a 3'''^ Grade side that was beaten outright in 7 games. Prof. A .J. Dunstan 1999-2000 Mrs Catherine Maddocks 1998-99 Johnny Taylor 1970-7 Peter Young’s full SU C C career statistics (1944-47) are unable to be found. It is known that he played 1®' Dr Brian Dwyer 2005-06 Dr Alec M ayes 1999-2000 Rob Theobald 2004-05 and 2"“ Grades in 1944-45; 2"'^ and 3^“ Grades in 1945-46 and 1946-47. In 1992 he was awarded the Medal of the Order of Australia for services to Youth and the Baptist Church.
