Last season, we reported on Flynn Parker scaling the dizzy heights of double figures with the bat for the first time in his grade career, when he scored 13no in helping Daniel Fallins to his maiden grade century in 1st Grade vs Sydney. This season, we missed reporting on a new milestone for Flynn when he reached 20 for the first time in 83 matches in grade cricket, when he scored 22no in PGs vs Randwick Petersham back in December. On Saturday, Flynn volunteered to play 5ths as a batsman when injury prevented him from bowling in 1sts. He rose to the occasion of batting at #6 for the first time in 89 matches in grade cricket by making the highest score of his career – 24no. Who knows how many he may have finished with had we been chasing a larger target!

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! 👏🏽
