Over the next few weeks we’re going to take a look back at the season that was for each grade before jumping into some of our customary Past Player Profiles and Memorable Moments during the off-season. Up first is our A2’s side. Led by debuting skipper, 19 year old Harrison Burgess, the A2s went […]
It was Awards Season last Saturday night as we kept the event local, heading over to the Wistow Hall for the 2023/24 end of season presentation dinner. MC’d by President Brayden Leckie and very well attended (winning 3 Premierships probably helps with attendance ), including by living life members Robin “Pud” Crompton, Michael “Pickle” […]
Apologies for the delay but it’s now time for our final premiership recap, our U16s victory at the Hill against Hahndorf Cricket Club played across the Sat and Sun mornings on 16/17 March. Losing the toss and bowling first, the Echidnas made early inroads to have the Magpies in strife at 3/15 courtesy of […]
Congratulations to the great man, Oliver Lukins, who played his 150th senior match for the Echidnas in last weekend’s C Grade Grand Final, grabbing his third career Premiership in the process. Graduating to senior cricket starting with the 2007/08 season, Oli has had one of the more unique careers in club history. Initially establishing […]
Saturday’s C Grade GF pitted the season’s two best teams against each other, with each side having gotten the better of the other once during the season. Ashbourne skipper Scott Brookes won the toss & boldly elected to field 1st. Fortunately, the Echidnas made a solid start, with regular openers Jason Rehn & Oscar […]
Some wins just mean more. Our club suffered a significant setback approximately four (4) seasons ago when then A Grade skipper, Matt Chapman, moved away for work which led to a mass exodus of A Graders from the club forcing us to drop out of A Grade for the 1st time in WCC history. […]
Congratulations to experienced duo, Sam Giles and Hayden Biddle who both achieved milestones on the weekend. Hayden, meanwhile, collected 2/2 in Saturday’s A2’s victory to tick over to 51 wickets for Wistow. Joining the Echidnas a season later than Sam, Bids’ cricketing journey is a well travelled one, with stints at Meningie […]
Congratulations to experienced duo, Sam Giles and Hayden Biddle who both achieved milestones on the weekend. Sam played his 50th match for the Club in the C’s & whilst he missed out with the bat, he bowled very tidily to collect 2/23 from 7 overs. Sam joined the Echidnas in 2020/21 after […]
Congratulations to A2’s skipper, Harrison Burgess who played an integral role in today’s Figg Cup (U21) Inter-association Grand Final. Batting first, the Alexandra & Eastern Hills Cricket Association team found themselves in real strife at 4/53 when Harry strode to the crease. Partnering with Lobethal A Grader, Jeremy Hackett (99), Harry made 60 […]
Congratulations to Jason Rehn who notched up his 1,000th run for the WCC during his century on Saturday, in just his 32nd match for the club. Arriving at Wistow in 2021/22, Jase split time between A2s & Cs that season, scoring 306 runs @ 27.82 (SR 81.17). Last season, work commitments limited him […]
