James Rodgers, the end of an era

The era of James Rodgers as a cricketer at Sydney University CC is coming to an end at the completion of this season. James has made a decision to make the 2009/10 season his last in Grade cricket and will retire once Fifth Grade win the title this year…

A couple of small facts about one of the pillars of the club, the patron of the 1864 Club and a man who will complete his 38th Grade season this year.

James collected his first wicket for the club in Fifth Grade in 1972, and his 850th was claimed in the same grade merely 37 years later.
1973-74, James broke into Second Grade as a long-haired leg spinner!
His command of flight and spin earned him 71 wickets in Seconds between 1973 and 1979, although the presence of some very able wrist-spinners, including Alan Manzie and Chris Elder, blocked his path to higher promotion.
However, he didn’t have the temperament to be a leg spinner, so became an off spinner during the 1970s.
It wasn’t until 1980/81 that he finally was able to celebrate a Premiership.
He has since then celebrated quite a few more, including a number as captain.
Perhaps his most coveted performance; Back in the era of ‘Jug Winners’, Alistair Little and James (apparently multiple winners!) hold the 10th wicket partnership for Third Grade with 74. James was “on his way” to his only hundred and finished 13*.

James is a dedicated family man, and has thought of the club as an extension of his family for those 38 years. It is his wish to invite those that have played with him, against him or even know him to come down to the last Round game of the season, which will be held at St Pauls Oval on Saturday 13th of March.

Ever the gentlemen, James is not making a big thing of his retirement, “[as] Finals are around the corner and the Clubs’ focus should be on that”. He also has a prior family commitment from 7pm on that Saturday.

There will be a canteen running all day at Uni No 1, with cold drinks and beers and possibly ‘the best chicken burgers in Grade cricket!’! We will also follow the end of the round games with a low key BBQ back at the No 1 Oval, which you are all welcome to attend, and will also celebrate the end of season and start of the Finals.

Of course, given the current state of sporting affairs, James’s retirement is hopefully only an aberration, and merely an attempt to barter a better deal and a massive financial recoup for “His Story: Retirement and why I have come back!”

Culkoff's dream innings

Michael has belted out his biggest knock for the club since he first stepped foot on SUCC turf back in 1998. His total of 130 last Saturday pipped his previous best of 123. Whilst he was out there, he also toppled a club record helped by batting partner Tim Ley, the 8th wicket partnership of 179 (unbroken) between Michael Culkoff and Tim Ley appears to be a new 8th wicket record for seconds.
Last year's annual report showed the previous record was 156 (G Aitken & D Ward, 2004-5).

Adam Theobald was painfully close to another century for the season with a tally of 92.

The students 2nd grade team are on 7 for 351

Update, Michael has amazing results with the ball as well, 7 for 25....what can we say?

Help needed in the canteen

Canteen worker says, I can't go on!If you are like me, you spend a bit of time at Uni 1 oval and everything seems to run smoothly in the canteen. You would be correct, but.....it is because we have a few dedicated parents who make themselves available to assist. The thing that would absolutely make their day would be for some other parents to ask, "Hey, do you guys need a hand?" Their faces would light up brighter than someone who had just licked a wet power point!

Please don't leave the work to a few, they would love to be able to sit down for an hour or so and watch their sons play as well.
