Flying to Sydney was a great
experience for our boys
this year. It was with much
excitement and expectation that
we landed in Sydney on a fine
Thursday. That afternoon we took
the traditional team photo at MrsMacquaries Chair, before making
our way around to the Opera House
and Circular Quay. We then caught
a ferry to Darling Harbour and the
Monorail to Centrepoint Tower. The
next morning we toured through
the Sydney Cricket Ground and
Museum before meeting up with
Glenn McGrath, Jacks famous
cricketing uncle. He joined us for a
tour and spent an hour in the indoor
nets bowling to the boys. What
an incredible time! Glenn signed
all the boys touring shirts, richly
significant because they were in fact
McGrath Foundation shirts and then
he accepted our donations on behalf
of the Foundation. If that wasnt
enough excitement, we met none
other than the Australian Cricket
Captain, Michael Clark, on our wayout.
In the afternoon we bused up to
Knox Grammar Preparatory School
at Wahroonga. It is a beautiful school
in an area not unlike East Toowoomba.
We even saw the original Tooheys stag
on the wall of the old building. We
were on a high after the mornings
excitement, so met our challenge
head on. The Firsts batted andscored 9 for 177. We bowled well at
the start and had them 4 for 20 and
then 8 for 72, before letting them go
on to 129 all out. A most enjoyable
game, and the first of many against
Knox we hope. We played for the
Armstrong-Wigan Shield, which
was first contested in 2011, at the
Armidale Rugby Carnival.
The Saturday morning game against
Barker was washed out. This was
most unfortunate as they probably
would have pushed us all the way in
the match. Although they were keen,
the drizzle did not let up, so a BBQ
was held and stumps were drawn
early. The day was not over, as we had
tickets to the Super 15 rugby where
the Waratahs played the Western
Force. We were mostly adopted
Blues supporters for the night.Sunday saw fine weather as we made
our way out to Parramatta to play
Kings for the Ashes. It was 30
years since we started playing them
on a regular basis. The pitch was only
moist but the ground was sodden
from the persistent rain Sydney had
had for weeks. The Firsts batted and
crafted out the fairly modest total of
7 for 118. Tight bowling and goodfielding saw them under pressure
throughout their innings. They were
finally dismissed for 48, top score
being the 15 sundries we gave them.
A quick change and we were back on
the plane heading home. This was a
most memorable four days for the
boys where we played some excellent
cricket, visited three magnificent
schools, saw the sights of the big
smoke and learnt some valuable life
lessons. The staff, Ian Basset, David
Wigan and Don MacKay, would like
to congratulate the boys on their
conduct throughout the trip. They
also say thank you to the parents for
allowing their children to participate,
to Mr Shayne Morris for scoring and
accompanying the tour and to Mr
Durell Hammond for organising the
Rugby tickets.
