John was one of the mainstays of the committee in the 1990’s, and our longest serving Treasurer (13 years). He has also been a solid worker for the Club always helping out whenever required. His son Stephen, commenced with the club at 7 years of age in the 10C’s (1986-87), with coach, Ken Miller. He missed the following season but played 10C’s again in 1988-89. He played 12D’s in 1989-90 under Coach, Cecil La Crosse, a man who had two daughters but loved cricket. In 1990-91 he played 12A’s and continued to play in “A” Grade teams until finishing his junior cricket with the Club in the 1993/94 – 16A Premiership Team.
Stephen represented the Shire in Gee, Moore and Watson Shields and played 1994-95 Green Shield for the district, taking 23 wickets. They were beaten in the final. He has since played 4th and 5th Grade with the District Club and Durham Shield in 1997-98. In 2002 for his services to the club John was made a Life Member and has been honoured with his name on the “Senior Division Bowling Performance Award”.>
