Geoff Glover took 8-6 & 7-34 in “B” Shires vs Ryde at Sutherland Oval – 15-40 in one day (day one washed out so one day match played on day two). These were the best match figures for the club until Devlin Malone took 16 wickets in 2015-16. The amazing thing about this achievement is that Ryde only had 10 men, so there were only 9 wickets available to be taken in each innings! Geoff’s first wicket in the first innings was caught and his last in the first innings was leg before wicket. The remaining 13 wickets were bowled. His recollection of the day is that there was a strong southerly wind blowing and Paul McCann (playing his first match for the club) was tearing in from the cemetery end. Geoff bowled his gentle hooping inswingers into the wind from the road end and the batsmen just couldn’t lay bat on ball!

Phil Jaques scored 321 in 1st Grade vs North Sydney at North Sydney Oval. He faced 257 balls and his 31 fours & 12 sixes. He finished 14 short of the first grade record score of 335 by Victor Trumper, scored in 1902-03. Needless to say, this is the club record score for all grades, surpassing the previous record of 212no by Matthew Bradley in 1sts in 1999-00. The team score finished on 6/500 dec, also the club record team score.

Sit back and enjoy every boundary from Sam Konstas’ second century of the season, we certainly did!
With 3 rounds remaining in the 2022/23 season, Sam Konstas has already scored over 1000 runs in his first season for SDCC.
Sam became the first player to score 1000 runs in all grades for the Club in his first season with the Club. The previous highest aggregates in their first season with the Club were Phil Jaques (593 in 2nds + 223 in PGs = 816) and Jason Young (812 in 1sts) – both in 1996-97. He has also equalled the club record for most centuries in a season with 4, joining Les Johns (1985-86), Justin Kenny (1990-91), Matthew Bradley (1996-97), Grant Davies (2005-06), Phil Jaques (2005-06) and Jamie Brown (2015-16 & 2017-18). This is the second consecutive season that Sam has achieved both feats, having scored 1139 runs with 4 centuries last season for St.George.
Sit back and enjoy the boundaries of Andrew Dietz on his way to his maiden grade century against @penrith_cricket_club on Saturday 👏🏽

During his stint of 31 runs on Saturday, Second Grade skipper Josh Horner passed 3000 runs for SDCC.
Josh has played a pivotal role at the club, particularly in the last few seasons, not only in a playing capacity but also as our second grade captain.
Onwards to 4000 — Well done Josh! 👏🏽
