A very disappointing first round back after Christmas, with only two wins out of five against UNSW. Seconds had a convincing bonus point win and Fifths chased well, but the other grades all let good opportunities slip away. The Colts played Easts on Sunday. Gordon bowled first in the top five grades but, in most…
Hi all After a disturbing period of having a compromised site, the GDCC website is back in action. You will note the last post was in late November, and we will start again hopefully with the wrap from this weekend’s matches against UNSW. Thanks to everyone for their patience.
It isn’t often a match is transferred because of storm damage, but that is the case this weekend when our third grade side moves its match to Grahame Thomas Oval in Bankstown. Fortunately, the infrastructure wasn’t damaged except for sections of our new picket fence that will need replacing. The damage as shown by the…
First and Second Grades completed excellent wins. In Firsts, Charlie Stobo’s opening spell was fantastic and set the tone for a bonus point win, aided by a great opening stand by Axel Cahlin and Lachlan Barnsley. The highlight of the Seconds’ big win was a wonderful hat trick by Matt Wright, followed by a top…
Quite a solid round for the Stags. First Grade got back into the winners’ circle while 4ths, 5ths and Colts also got the points. 2nds needed a few more runs and 3rds couldn’t capitalise on a good start. The innings of the week came from Axel Cahlin, whose century in 1st Grade ensured their win.…
I have been dreading writing this tribute to Harry Evans after he announced his retirement last Saturday from playing with the Gordon District Cricket Club. Dreading it really only because I could no longer sit at Chatswood Oval and watch one of the best batsmen to ever play on our sacred ground. That�s is a…
A good weekend for the Stags as Seconds to Colts all have strong wins, including two outrights. First Grade couldn’t quite make the vital breakthroughs in their game, but the lower grades performed very well. Second Grade and Fifth Grade both completed outright victories on the back of good bowling and excellent run chases by…
At the recent Annual General Meeting of Cricket NSW, Marshall Rosen announced that he would stand down as a Director of Cricket NSW after holding that role for over 13 years. Marshall has now advised me that he will be no longer standing as the club’s delegate to Cricket NSW and is standing down from…
A good day’s work by most teams. Unlike last week, in most games the ball dominated the bat with Jackson Saggers (2nds), Dan Stickland (3rds) and Dave Monaghan (5ths) all taking five wickets. The highlight of the day though, was undoubtedly in 4th Grade. At 6-45, you’re probably not thinking you’ll be able to declare…
“It’s a Batsman’s Game!” the bowlers shout. Well, from the looks of the weekend, just around now they may have a point. Lots of runs while wickets were certainly hard to come by. A satisfactory day for the Stags, with three wins, two draws and a loss. Some great scores, particularly from Jamie Bekis (165*)…
