On this day 120 years ago

 University played its first match in Grade cricket on this day 120 years ago. The game was against Glebe at Wentworth Park. The first ball was bowled by University's Tom Garrett,in whose honour the Club now awards the 'Best and Fairest' at the end of each season,  and who had played in the first ever Test Match 16 years before.

The match was eventually drawn although Glebe led by 30 on the 1st innings. It was played on 3 successive Saturday afternoons of about 4 hours each day.

Uni ended in the middle of the table in this first 'Grade' season (it was then called 'Electoral' cricket) but we were the only side to beat the Premiers, East Sydney.

Ben Joy's efforts with the bat last year

There have been plenty of great performances at SUCC over the past couple of seasons. None more surprising than Ben Joy's efforts with the bat last year.. To go along with his 17 First Grade wickets at 20, Ben averaged 37 with the bat! More than 1/3 of his runs were in 6's. Can Ben repeat his batting heroics in season 2012/13? 

Each week leading in to the season we'll look at one outstanding performance from an SUCCer which has been captured by the brilliant Dave Stanton!
