Twenty - Weston Creek Cricket Club

Weston Creek, Cricket Clubtremendous help in moulding the team. They typifiedwhat Weston Creek stands for and it was a pleasure being inthe same team as them. Paddy scored two half centuries thatyear.THE FIRST 1ST XI1979-80Standing:- Paul Dujfus, Andrew Macleod, Trevor Cohhold, BobGrabham, Graham Nine, Greg Irvine. In Front:- Alan Giles,Richard Drew, Chris Body, Brian Kensey (C), Paddy O'Brien.Absent: Neil Evans, Richard Cotton, Phil Mclntyre, Colin Imms.We did occasionally have trouble getting 11 players onto thefield at starting time. The man from "Big W", Phil Mclntyre,seemed not to be able to arrive at a game more than 15minutes before the start. His batting was akin to DavidGower's in recent years; he played some beautiful shots earlyin his innings, the only problem being that he normally alsodeparted early in his innings.While our juniors did not shine that much in our first year, itwas refreshing (and sometimes a challenge!!!) to play with58
