Twenty - Weston Creek Cricket Club

Twenty Seasons OnTim Overland receiving anaward from his skipper -, PaulDuffus.A VJ£W rfiC)jVI B^j-JJj x JL) Tr\*by Paul "Devious" DuffusSrrUMPSSo called because of his great skill with a cricket ball, "Devious" started hiscareer with the Club as an opening batsman/wicket keeper in our first yearin first grade. Coming from Woden Cricket Club, he made many valuablecontributions with the bat and behind the stumps. His catch diving down legside to dismiss the opposition's leading run maker in twilight match will liveforever in the memory of those fortunate enough to be present.Paul was the captain of the premiership winning fourth grade side in1986/87. It was insipirmi captaincy that saw him bowl his opening bowlerinto the ground, plus tremendous glove work by Rousey that saw the cupcome to the Creek. Never mention to Paul about how you failed to lodgeyour tax return or how you managed to get that little bit extra back on yourrefund (does he still work for the ATO?).Early retirement was brought about by bad knees and deteriorating eyesight. Paul is spending much of his spare time playing golf where he doesnot have to worry about trying to keep track of the balls. Possibly his realproblem is that he is standing too close to the ball - after he hits it!Tim Overland65
