The First Match

On the 1st of October 1960, the then St. Leonards Cricket Club played its first formal match against Notting Hill Cricket Club at Notting Hill Reserve. The toss was won by Notting Hill Cricket Club who decided to bat on the first day of play. Bruce Cummins captained the side, Steven Buchanan opened the bowling and Brian Atta kept wicket.

Whilst we bowled Notting Hill Cricket Club out for 105 after 20 overs, with the exception of Harry Bickham, we showed very little with the bat and ended day 1 at 6/41. Upon our return to Notting Hill Reserve for day 2, the weather gods and captains decided there would be no play due to rain, and the match was drawn.
