Love Your Cricket? Join Cammeray!

The Cammeray Cricket Club Inc. is situated on Sydney’s lower North Shore and has been in existence since 1902.

As always, we welcome new players to the fold, and our broad range of age and experience means that players of varying skill can find a level of cricket with which they feel comfortable to play. This season, we are fielding teams from A to D Grade.

After each day’s play, the players return to the Bridgeview Hotel – our primary sponsor – for a few hard earned drinks. This is where the day’s events are relived and the awarding of the player of the day is done with APLOMB. The Bridgeview Hotel  is located on Willoughby Rd, Willoughby.

Cam A1 out belted by the Pigs

So the A1’s fresh from the victory against the Herdens last week, trekked out to West Pymble to take on the Pigs on their home ground. Lofberg Oval   is fairly short square of the wicket and long boundaries front on. Runs a plenty if you like belting the ball.

Cammeray Gladiators Pave the Way for a Hard Fought Victory

Rugby League’s most celebrated image is that of 1963 Grand Final combatants, Norm Provan and Arthur Summons embracing each other after a tightly fought game. The “Gladiators” as the image is known, shows that despite the contrast of height between the two, typifies Mark Twain’s quote that ‘It’s not the size of the dog in the fight, it’s the size of the fight in the dog’.

First Ton of the season for El Presidente

Congratulations to El Presidente – Scott Costain for notching up the first century for Cammeray in season 2015/16. Opening the batting for Cammeray against Northbridge, Scott’s 104 along with handy contributions from Cook (61) and Pelgrave (58) and new bloke Kevin Johnson (58no) leaves Cammeray with an impressive score of 6 for 328 dec after 62 overs. Sent in to bat towards the end of the day, Cammeray captured an early wicket to have the opposition set back at 1 for 7 off 10. Play continues next Saturday at Castle Cove, and Cammeray will be looking to capture the remaining 9 wickets for less than 300 runs. Good luck!

Vale Max Delany

Sad news for everyone at Cammeray Cricket – with news of the passing away of a Life Member. Malcolm ‘Max’ Delany passed away on Sunday 9 May. Max Delany, a prominent member of the club, who during his time amassed 439 wickets at an average of 12.84, featured in 4 x A Grade premiership over 7 years in the 1950’s and was the oldest life member of Cammeray Cricket Club.

And the Winners Are….

Nigiri’s played host to Cammeray’s 2014 Annual Presentation Night. Celebrating a great season with all 4 teams finishing in the top 2, culminating in the club picking up the Club Championship, a total of 60 plus Cammerians enjoyed a great night.

Club Champions!!

This season, the club fielded 4 teams, up from 3 the previous season, and all 4 teams had great seasons. The A’s taking part in the new Northern Cricket Union (NCU); a combination of NSCA and Northern District teams, had a good first up season. Finished the season 2nd, the highest placed NSCA team, and semi-finalist bodes well for the season to come. Cook and Costain in amongst the leading association run scorers, and Stavens and Walters amongst NCU’s highest wicket taker.

A Grade Semi Final Report

74 was always going to be a hard total to defend. 74 was not the score Cammeray A Grade had hoped to post in their semi final encounter against a strong batting lineup boasted by Rydalmere.
