Jessie Lorna CAMPLING Died 26 March 2002, aged 97

Miss Campling was the sister of Dr C R (Roy) Campling who played for the Club from 1911 to 1916. Thus, the last living link with the Club’s Golden Age has now departed (although Margaret Murphy, who watched her brother Jim Sullivan play for the Club until 1919, still lives in Willoughby). Dr Campling played in two 1st Grade Premiership teams - 1911-12 and 1913-14 - as a hard hitting lower order batsman and medium pacer. He later played with considerable success for Balmain and represented NSW three times in 1922- 23. JFR

David GODFREY-SMITH Died on 22 August 2001

David Godfrey-Smith was a Judge of the NSW District Court who played regularly for the Club’s Veterans team during the 1960s. He was a slow bowler who relied on flight and guile - the slower he bowled, the Huw McKay - Baseball convert driving up more confused the batting became! He was an engaging companion, an amusing after dinner speaker the 1st base line with an intellectual sense of humour. His cricket ability was modest but his love for the game was infec­ tious. While he did not often achieve the "Vets double” (fifty runs and five wickets in a season) , he did regularly record the laudable but less demanding "Junior Double” (ten runs and one wicket in the sea­ son). Judge Godfrey-Smith’s first wife predeceased him; his second wife, Phyl, survives him as do his two sons, his grandchildren and his great grandchildren. The Club’s sympathies are extended to his family and relatives. JFR/GDS

Greg HAAAMER Died on 29 January 2002 aged 52.

Greg Hammer played for the Club for three seasons while studying Medicine. He was a wicket keeper Pete Murray - Fourth Grade Captain who often opened the batting with devastating effect. He began in Fifth Grade in 1967-68 and this is Winner of the John Morris Av/ard where his most productive performances were to occur. His innings of 153 in 1968-69, scored at St Paul’s, remains one of only three innings over 150 scored for the Club in this Grade.

Greg played at a time when the Club’s lower grade batting was brittle and he often had to hold the innings together, in the midst of another collapse. Alan Jakes, his Fourth Grade captain in 1969-70, quite memorably commented: "Some batsmen were replete with talent and devoid of concentration. Disci­ plined mediocrity would have at least been quite adequate.” Greg escaped this criticism. His batting was consistent and valued.

The Club’s sympathies are expressed to Greg’s wife. Heather, to his sons Corey and Jason, to his daughter Kalissa, and to his wider family.

Greg Hammer (SUCC 1967-70):

40 innings, 1 not out, highest score 153, 880 runs at 22.5.

His physique was already developed as he stood over six feet tall, dwarfing his 15 year old team mates, as can be seen from the photo of Hanlin with a diminutive Peter Philpott. On 9 December 2001 occurred the death of one of the most popular and respected former Sydney Univer­ sity cricketers, Tony Low, aged only 61.

He was, above all, a magnificent fieldsman, not only safe and secure, but naturally athletic with a raking throw and a sense of anticipation that made even the most adventurous batsmen In 1947-48, he drew favourable notices and attracted the attention of the NSW selectors, who chose him cautious. He won the Club’s fielding trophy (the Eric McElhone Trophy) in each of his first four seasons - in the NSW Colts XI. His 9-51 against Petersham in Round Six remains the Club’s second-best analysis in a feat without parallel in the Club’s history. In Second Grade, he hit an extraordinary 201 not out in First Grade (Otto Nothling having taken 9-15 against Marrickville 22 seasons beforehand). 1958-59, against Waverley at the SCG No2 ground. His powerful hitting laid all bowlers to the sword as his runs came in only 210 minutes and included 126 in boundaries (21 fours and 7 sixes).

Inconsistency led to his demotion to Second Grade for most of 1962-63 and 1963-64. These were golden years for the Club’s Second Grade team, which won premierships in three successive seasons between Sadly, this was the end of his first class career. For NSW’s next two games he was 12th man, surrendering 1961 and 1964. In Ivor McCristal’s 1962-63 side, Tony’s bowling was dominant. Four times he took five his place to Alan Davidson, who made his first class debut in Adelaide. Of that side, only four are now wickets in an innings, and his 10-46 (7-41 and 3-5) against Northern District was only part of an afternoon alive - Stan Sismey, Tom Brooks, Richie Benaud and Alan Davidson. Davidson rated David Hanlin highly as of triumph. Ivor McCristal wrote: "The best catch of the season was undoubtedly that of Tony Low an impressively accurate fast medium bowler.

My thanks extend to Chris Williams, who endured a difficult year as Honorary Treasurer.

The bowlers found form too, skittling the Bears for just 94. The one-day semi-final took us to Rawson Oval once again for a memorable victory. Kieran Lahey top scored with 29, while Dave Butchart chipped in with 27 and Tom Kierath 25no. Defending 201, Charlie Shreck exploded with two wickets in his second over, well supported by Ian Moran and Tom Kierath. The 50 overs were never going to last, with a finish looking likely just after 40 overs, although the result was in the balance. The Units played some dedicated, quality cricket, displaying some fine bowling and fielding. Kierath, Matthews, Moran and Shreck were outstanding, the game ended by Lahey's clinical outfield catch of their pommy pro for 96. The final was set up perfectly for a Uni victory. For some unknown reason the Waverly groundsman decided to prepare a perfect pitch for the visitors, suiting our spin saturation of the one-day game. Further, we won the toss on a pitch we would expect to get 260 on batting first. At 6-55 we were still just on top in my mind, neecJing only 170 to win. However, we managed only 125, thanks to ■'•I,'''’',* 59 from consistent Michael Hansen. Easts were in a bit of trouble at 6-107 but managed to coast home by four wickets.
