We did not come from the well known traditional cricketing strongholds of Lau or QVS, and were not part of the expatriate players who grew up representing their schools in Australia or New Zealand and who opted to join the top teams here. We were just your bunch of keen cricketers bent on succeeding as a unit.
We committed ourselves and played smart and moved from the “C” Grade to the “A” Grade competition in 3 seasons, playing at the top level and holding our own for a number of years after that (there were of course many more teams back in the 1980s and cricket actually had exclusive use of Albert Park from October to April each year!).
