James Rodgers
After a Semi-Final finish in 2024/25, SUCC are now accepting applications to trial for our Green Shield Program for 2025/26.
If selected, the squad will have access to an interstate tour as a squad, high-quality coaching, a SUCC helmet and backpack and elite level facilities.
The club is proud to report that its Patron, James Rodgers, was awarded the Medal of the Order of Australia in the Australia Day Honours list.
James received this recognition for his services to education and to cricket. He was a long-serving staff member at St Ignatius College, Riverview, until his recent retirement. His involvement in the Sydney University Cricket Club extends back to 1972, and he has held almost every position of consequence within the club, including stints as Secretary and Chairman. As a player, his 869 wickets set a club record that is unlikely to be broken. He is a Life Member of the club and of the Sydney Cricket Association, of which he was Vice-Chairman between 1989 and 1993.
The club extends hearty congratulations to James on this thoroughly-deserved recogniation.
