Most dismissals
Nick Bennet (A2) broke the long standing record for the most dismissals by a wicket-keeper in our History. There are 3 ‘Holy Grail’ records – Highest run scorer, Highest wicket-taker and most dismissals so this has broken one of our top 3 records.
During the Semi Final Vs Berowra at Storey Park Nick broke the previous record of 190 set by Dale ‘Merv’ Armstrong (1984/85 to 2000/01) with a best of 36 in the 1993/94 season.
Starting the season at 169 dismissals, Nick passed the record with his 2nd catch in the Berowra innings. Nick’s best season was for A1 in 2012/13 when he took 25 for the season.
Nick’s photo is in the Records Photo Gallery.
#Awkward
Eric Junkkari is the gift who keeps on giving. Picture this. Last season Eric was playing C1 in the Grand Final win against Normanhurst-Warrawee. After mentioning that this game was his last before retirement, the Normo Captain arranged for his players to form a tunnel for Eric to walk through on his way to the wicket. Fast forward 12 months and next weekend, Eric is not only still playing, this time in B2 Grade but the B2 Grand Final is against the same Normo side with the same Captain.
