The long awaited return of NSW premier cricket is finally upon us, an exciting prospect considering the unideal weather conditions and disrupted pre season. The 2022/23 season brings us many fresh and familiar faces, as the men’s sides will look to come out firing. Gordon is first up on the 2022/23 calendar, with one dayers being played across all five grades.
1st Grade look an almost identical side to last season, with no debutants featuring in the first round this year. This shows the depth and talent this side possesses, as skipper Lenton looks to guide his side to higher honours this year. 2nd grade have a number of new starters, with Mendel, Coyte, Dhillon and Hicks all returning to the side after being mainstays in lower grades last year, or taking a hiatus for a season. 3’s also make several new changes from last season, with young gun Boulton returning to 3’s after an injury plagued season, along with two debutants in cult hero Oscar Lucius and country boy Matt Sunshine.
4th grade welcome the expertise of Jason Pereira, along with Cummings, Williams and Noacke who all make their debut in 4’s, with Noacke making his club debut as well. 5’s are yet to decide on a starting XI, however could home any number of debutants as skipper Waddington has a great depth of young talent to select from.
Good Luck to all teams, Go Manly!
