Couple of good references here to the greatest junior cricket club in the world.

“Also a great memory was winning the Under 14’s Grand Final Greystanes then Under 16’s with Wentworthville Waratah’s at Ted Burge Oval in Merrylands. I may have hit future NSW spinner Anthony Clarke for 22 off the last over to win the competition”
Andrew Downton - the phone call from my idol
I remember feeling a bit down after Brad Haddin edged my first ball in first class cricket and Dan Marsh at first slip dropped the catch so to get the win and wickets in the 2nd innings is something I remember very fondly.

I wish there had been junior clubs in my area (or ones that I was aware of) when I was a youngster. We lived in a semi-rural (then not now) area and 4 or 5 of us played street cricket. I often wonder how I would have gone had I started playing before I was in my mid 20s.

And how things have changed. I wrote a history of the Bentley CC and was fascinated by its early stages. The association fixture books had details of bus routes to the various grounds. One of our more well-to-do players in the early days would provide transport for 4 other players plus the umpire. When I interviewed him he told me he got plenty of lbw appeals upheld. Membership fees were set at one pound ($2) and playing fees were 5/- (50c) per week with 'scholars' paying 2/6 (25c). In the early '50s a Stuart Surridge "Neil Harvey Autograph" bat cost 4 pound 8/6 ($8.85). Back then it was unheard of club cricketers owning their own bat (or pads and gloves for that matter).

It's been great reminiscing Burgey. But seriously, if you feel inclined to pull on the creams again, do it. You may regret it further down the track when your body says "No". Cheers.

The normal awards that everyone else has
I was in juniors in the late 80s/early 90s and up til then most kids in the team would use club gear. One or two kids had their own bats but mostly everyone just grabbed what gear they wanted out of the back of the coach’s Commodore station wagon.
