Twenty Seasons Onj-JOWW3C5LEZXiA'teDby Chris HarrisOver the past hundred years,country New South Wales hasbeen a fertile breeding groundfor outstanding Australiancricketers. It was also thebirth place of Chris Harris.Born in the fabled Coonamble,shortly after the cessation ofhostilities in World War II, thevery name of Chris Harris canstill bring a wistful tear to theeye of a wizened outbackcricket enthusiast.Lost to country cricket by his move to Canberra, where he hasbrought enlightenment to the lives of thousands of ACT high schoolstudents during the last 20 years, Chris was one of the foundingfathers of the Weston Creek Cricket Club.With a bat clasped in his mighty hands or a ball rolling through hisknotted fingers or, best of all, with a microphone at his sweaty lips,Chris has created many of the Club's most memorable moments. Atleast that's what he told me to say. As the old saying goes, Chris,it's been a pleasure sharing a box with you.Since the birth of the Weston Creek Senior Club atWeston Primary fn 1975, there have been manymemorable moments for our players and supporters. From thetime the first catch was taken by Col Jenkins, flat on his backon Dickson Oval in sleet and light rain in October 1975, untilthe last ball of the 1991-92 season, much camaraderie andfriendship has ensued as a result of our on field exploits.101
