FOREWORD

I can still remember my first visit to Boundary Street. It was 1987, the Club was barely 25 years old, and I

was just a kid with poor footwork and no idea of what a district club was.

The first thing that hit me was the smell. In those days, the Club’s nearest neighbour was a sewerage

treatment plant and when it was in form, it smacked you hard and there was nowhere to hide from it.

Once I’d come to terms with the smell, I was confronted by basic net facilities with weak lights and a

clubhouse that was little more than a construction site. The tram that is such a part of our folklore was

gone, though.

Of course, I didn’t appreciate until much later that the Club on that day in 1987 had already travelled an

incredible journey and had grown from even more humble beginnings.

These pages tell the stories of how the Club has grown up on the field from the lean early years through

the golden era of the 1980s and to today when we are again first grade champions. They tell the stories

of how we have moved from home to home and how we have prospered at each turn. They tell the

story of our greats, the players and administrators whose courage and tireless contributions have made

this Club what it is today. They tell the story of how the Club has matured in every way. Whether you

are into statistics, yarns or history you will find something here to interest you.

The next time you are at Boundary Street, stop, look around and have a think about this great Club that

we are a part of. Our Club has grown up to be one of the best places to play club cricket in the country,

with great grounds and facilities. It is integrated with a thriving community club and it continues to be a

nursery of talent for Queensland Cricket.

Here is the story of the first fifty years of our very special Club. You’re a part of that story. I hope you

enjoy this book and that it helps you to gain an appreciation of how your story and how the Club’s story

coincide.

INTRODUCTION

Our fiftieth year has given us all a chance to reflect on what we have achieved and the reputation we

have developed around the cricketing world. It has also been an opportunity to look forward, and think

about what we can achieve in the future.

As Queensland Cricket CEO Graham Dixon has recently written “Cricket is at the cross-roads” – the game

that we all know and love is changing forever with the advent of the tsunami T20.

I first met Bill Albury at the Gabba in November 1970 in the Australia-England Test. I had gone to the

Gabba with my brother-in-law Keith Dietz who had played for Balmoral Wynnum with Bill. I don’t

remember much of that game except we were drinking cans of beer sourced from troughs of iced water

under the trees on the East Brisbane school side of the ground and the Victorian Alan “Froggy”

Thomson’s windmill bowling action.

Balmoral Wynnum was admitted to the A grade competition (as it was then) in the 1961-62 season

along with Sandgate Redcliffe. Bill Albury played in the under aged Intermediate competition in that

year and Keith Dietz joined in the next season playing B and C grades.

It was some years before I again saw Bill Albury when my son Jamie was 16 years old and moved to play

under 18s at Boundary Street.

I joined the Club committee in the next season and have been here ever since.

Talking to Bill and then President Noel Gorman I was amazed at that time to find that, despite cricket

being a game filled with statistics, that no historical record of the Club existed save for the published

annual reports. Reading those annual reports in the early 1990s I resolved to prepare a historical record

and work out a statistical career record of players’ performances. Working from the annual reports, I

built up players’ statistics and gained an understanding of the history from Bill Albury, Wayne Broad,

Noel Gorman, Wayne Niven and other players. In those pre-internet days, newspapers provided a rich

source of cricket reporting when captains remembered to phone through the scores on Saturday

evenings.

Cricketers are funny guys in the way in which they approach history. Some have instant recall and can

tell you how many runs and wickets they have scored while others have no interest in or recall of the

past. Others recall “famous” incidents and some tend to move themselves onto centre stage as time

goes by when, in fact, they were not involved at all and were still in the wings.

A few seasons ago one of our aspiring first graders achieved a lower grade double of 100 and 6 wickets

and the catches were not recorded in the scorebook. When asked the following week who took his

catches he replied he could not remember. I pointed out that it was last week and that Bill Albury

remembered every wicket he took as well as those he got in the nets. When he replied, “Who’s Bill

Albury?” I determined to set the record straight so that current players can better appreciate what has

gone before.

The significance of the Tram demonstrates the basic facilities Wynnum Manly started with. I’ve seen the

manicured ovals of municipal Sydney and Melbourne but we do things differently in Brisbane. Boundary

Street evolved from a trotting track on a floodplain on the banks of Bulimba Creek where there was a

water treatment works and the Tram was the first dressing shed as the focus and spending was made on

development of the playing surfaces. The tram was replaced by wooden council sheds until something

more permanent was constructed.

As I write this some 20 years later I hope I have conveyed the rich history and comradeship that have

made our Club what it is today.

IT’S EITHER FIRE OR FLOOD AT BOUNDARY STREET.

WYNNUM MANLY HISTORY.

1960s

On a sunny September afternoon in 1961 a crowd of 1200 gathered at Brisbane's suburban Windsor

Park. They watched West Indian Wesley Hall bowl for an hour before he captured the wicket of the

Norths captain. Here to play Sheffield Shield cricket for Queensland, Hall was playing for Colts in his first

club appearance.

Twelve kilometres away at Deagon, a handful of spectators watched another match where Sandgate

Redcliffe and Balmoral Wynnum were making their first appearance in the district competition.

Sandgate took the honours with a first innings win. Wynnum batted first, making 238 and 0/8 in its

second innings. Reg Bratchford top scored with 95. Sandgate made 7 dec 267 with Ray Hughson taking 4

/109.

Fifty seasons have now elapsed since that afternoon and the clubs have since met 70 times with the

honours shared. Contemporary newspaper reports lamented the addition of the two teams to the

competition claiming a consequent lowering of standards. Fifty years on, this line of reasoning can still

be heard in some quarters when any expansion to the competition is mooted.

Balmoral Wynnum was created by the amalgamation of Eastern Suburbs-Balmoral from Bulimba and

Wynnum Manly from the Wynnum area. Those two clubs had fielded teams in the lower grades

competition for some years and were rewarded for years of effort when finally admitted as a new Club

by the Queensland Cricket Association to its premier competition – A Grade as it was then known, at its

Executive meeting of 8 August 1961. Home games were played at Bulimba Memorial Park and Wynnum

Memorial Park. Eastern Suburbs-Balmoral was of course an associate of the Eastern Suburbs club then

based at Langlands Park. Eastern Suburbs-Balmoral had existed for 42 years, being formed in 1919, and

it entered the QCA Senior Division in 1933 fielding B and C grades for 28 seasons. Wynnum had fielded

teams in C grade and Intermediate in the season leading up to admission. Balmoral Wynnum fielded

teams in five grades: A, Reserve, B, C and Intermediate. 83 players played in that initial season. The Club

finished with £476 in the kitty but started with £489 so lost £13 about $30 in its first season.

Those early years were very much learning years. The 1960s produced few notable performances and it

was not until the club’s third season that the first A grade century was scored by Alf Birks against Colts

at Bulimba Memorial on 28 September 1963. Two weeks later on 19 October Birks returned the best

bowling analysis of 8 for 27 against Valley at Bulimba Memorial. It was not until 14 seasons (1974-75)

that first grade finished higher than seventh on the table.

B grade finished second to Toombul in the first two seasons but in 1961-62 only A grade played a final

and in 1962-63 the B grade final was washed out so Toombul was awarded the Premiership. The

Intermediate grade provided the first premiership– in the 1962-63 season they finished on top and beat

Eastern Suburbs 88 to 83. In 1963-64 the Intermediate team finished on top and in 1968-69 they

finished on top and beat Northern Suburbs in the final.

The club produced two Sheffield Shield representatives in Keith Dudgeon, who came from Cairns,

selected in 1967-68 and 1968-69 and local product Bill Albury, who played from 1970-71 to 1973-74.

Albury was actually the first selected representative player in a Queensland Colts team but unlike the

world of sport today, he was unable to take his place in the team because of work commitments. He

later played in a Colts team in a drawn Sydney Gregory match against New South Wales at Church of

England Grammar in November 1965 where he returned 3/72 and 6/77 for the match.

1970s

The lack of success of the 1960s continued into the 1970s. From 1969-70 to 1971-72 second, third and

fourth grades finished last on the ladder. In 1974-75 the club changed its name to Wynnum Manly to

better represent its catchment area, because residential qualifications were then in place. Don Allen was

approached to come over from Northern Suburbs to captain the side and strengthen the batting, which

he did for two seasons 1974-75 and 1975-76. Allen had played eight Sheffield Shield games before he

joined Wynnum and played two more while he was at the Club.

Denis Schuller was the next player called to State honours following consecutive Club centuries in

October 1975. During this time second grade achieved the Club's first senior premiership in 1975-76

and again, along with third grade, in 1976-77.

The Club moved grounds from its inaugural association with Balmoral and Wynnum to the Clem Jones

Centre at Carina in September 1976 which coincided with John Bell’s arrival as coach. On joining

Wynnum Manly John Bell was the first appointed captain-coach of a Brisbane club side. Bell's tenure

produced a purple patch for the club resulting in eight consecutive first grade finals appearances from

1976-77 to 1983-84 including the first premierships in 1980-81, 1981-82, and 1982-83.

Bell’s policy of introducing youth was vindicated as Greg Ritchie, Carl Rackemann and John Maguire

eventually represented Australia as Wynnum players, on one occasion in the same team when they

played against the West Indies at St John’s, Antigua, in April 1984 (the fourth Test of the West Indies

tour). This was a rare event at that time and more so with three players who had begun their

representative careers with the same Club. They also played in seven World Series Cup ODI games

against Pakistan and the West Indies in January 1984 and one further one day game at Castries, Saint

Lucia, in the West Indies in April 1984.

Bell also recruited the Australian player Gary Cosier to play at Wynnum Manly and he became the club's

first Australian representative when he was selected for the West Indies tour in March 1978.

Interestingly, because of these representative commitments, Cosier played only two innings for

Wynnum Manly. Cosier's last Shield innings as a Wynnum Manly player coincided with Wayne Broad's

Shield debut in January 1978. Broad and Cosier therefore played together for Queensland without

playing together at Wynnum Manly, as Broad was seconded to play for Colts in 1976-77 and 1977-78.

The Club achieved its strongest State representation on four occasions when four Club players played

Shield together. In 1978-79, Schuller, Broad, Maguire and Bell played two games in Bell's only Shield

appearances. In October 1982, Broad, Maguire, Rackemann and Ian Gallagher played South Australia in

Gallagher's single Shield appearance and, in December 1982, Broad, Ritchie, Maguire and Mark Gaskell

played Tasmania in Gaskell's only appearance as a Wynnum Manly player following a 13 match

representation while at Eastern Suburbs. Ian Kelly was another to join the Shield ranks during this time.

It was not until 2001 that we again achieved four State players in Stuart Law, Adam Dale, Scott

Prestwidge and Scott O'Leary in a domestic one day match in Perth.

There were only three premierships in the second decade. Second grade defeated Sandgate Redcliffe in

1975-76 and South Brisbane in 1976-77. Third grade won its only premiership in 50 seasons in beating

Eastern Suburbs in 1976-77.

1980s

The 1980s found Wynnum Manly at Boundary Street, Tingalpa, following the short-lived move to the

Clem Jones Centre at Carina in 1978. Noel Gorman presided over this development at Boundary Street

and with a dedicated band of players and officials armed with public sector finance produced two fields

and a clubhouse, which rose Phoenix-like from a Council floodplain, and a discarded Brisbane Tram into

a quality grade cricket facility. From this beginning, an ethos and strength was formed as the cricket

complex emerged and developed. This sense of history and a willingness to build for the future has

carried through to today.

The Channel O Cup was the first limited overs competition in Brisbane. This was a knockout competition

of 30 overs duration played on Sundays for eight seasons from 1972-73 to 1979-80. Wynnum contested

the final in six of those seasons, being victorious three times. This success was carried forward into the

1980s. Interstate players were invited to participate – those players who played for Wynnum Manly

were Ron Crippen, Richie Robinson, Mark Clews, David Colley, Gary Gilmour, Barry Knight and Marshall

Rosen.

Wayne Broad took over the captaincy from John Bell after the 1984 season and there followed a

rebuilding period where premiership successes were hard to come by. Upon Broad’s retirement, Mark

Gaskell followed in the captaincy in 1988, with an untried outfit.

This decade was the most successful for the Club with six premierships. First grade finished in the final

four in eight seasons out of ten, and contested the final five times, winning three. It was John Bell’s

dream to win eight consecutive finals but it was not to be. In 1984-85 such was the depth in the Club

that second, third and fourth grades made the finals with seconds and fourths winning. In 1988-89, the

under 18s, under Ian Romer’s coaching, won their first premiership in 20 seasons.

Five players were selected for Queensland – Carl Rackemann, Ian Kelly, Greg Ritchie, Ian Gallagher and

Mark Gaskell who had made his debut while playing at Eastern Suburbs.

1990s

The 1990s saw, firstly, Peter Cantrell and then Mark Tooley make the Shield side. They were followed by

Scott Prestwidge from Bankstown in 1990-91 and Adam Dale from North Melbourne in 1993-94. Stuart

Law came from Valley in September 1997 to join Dale as an Australian representative. This period

brought lower grade successes with premierships for fifth grade in 1992-93, sixth grade in 1993-94,

fourth grade in 1996-97 and second grade in 1999-2000.

The arrival in Queensland of former Australian player Trevor Laughlin in September 1991 produced a

much needed impetus on the field. Laughlin joined a growing band of players who had representative

careers before playing for Wynnum Laurie Chapman, Alan Jones, Ray Phillips, Ken Healy, Richie

Robinson and John Hill. Laughlin captained for two seasons, 1991-92 and 1992-93, and then took over as

president when he finished playing. During this time a better sponsorship base was actively pursued, the

junior division was consolidated as part of the club and a women’s team was introduced.

Julia Price and Sally Cooper represented Queensland and Australia as Wynnum Manly players. Under

Healy’s captaincy, 1995-96 produced a first grade premiership and the Club’s third club championship.

Again in 1996-97 first grade made the final to be beaten by Valley in the last grade final to be played at

the Gabba. However in ensuing seasons this momentum was not carried forward.

While the 1980s were the most successful years on the playing field, the 1990s ushered in a period of

redevelopment and redefining the Club's focus. It became apparent that the Club could not continue to

exist on canteen-generated funds for only six months of the year. Wynnum Soccer was approached and,

being in a similar situation and having outgrown their premises, moved to Boundary Street.

Redevelopment of the playing fields saw the construction of a third cricket ground and two new soccer

fields. With changes to licensing and gaming regulations, a building program was undertaken and a joint

sports club formed to operate the licensed premises and contribute to the running of both sports. Noel

Gorman oversaw this development with board members from cricket and soccer and initially the new

arrangement succeeded with the addition of hockey and other sports. However the sporting club did not

keep pace with industry trends and subsequently failed.

2000s

In 2000 the Club agreed to surrender its number one ground and allow its development as a first class

soccer venue. As part of this process, the number two ground was rebuilt and another ground

developed giving the club three grounds of a high standard.

In the new millennium 2001 saw Scott O’Leary become our next Shield player having risen through the

Club’s ranks from under 16s – being one of only a few to have played in each grade. Chris Simpson in

2003, Ryan Broad in 2006 and Ben Laughlin in 2008 became the latest additions called to State selection

and in Laughlin’s case Australian one day and T20 honours in 2008-09. Like O’Leary, these three players

are local products having played their cricket for Wynnum since under 16s.

Broad joined a unique group of eight where fathers and sons represented Queensland and Laughlin an

even rarer group with his father Trevor also representing Australia. At the same time Angela Farrell,

Megan White, Heidi Thompson, Trish Brown and Reanna Browne became Queensland Fire players.

In 2004 the Lions Soccer Club took over management of the licensed club, injected capital in a rebuilding

program and professionally managed the operation. A change to the Lions policy in managing its

licensed clubs resulted in the sporting clubs again managing the club. It is only now, after a few years

where the Club struggled to trade that it may fulfil its early promise with a regenerated Board and a

renewed program.

The highlight of the 2006 season was when Ben Laughlin and Trish Brown won the individual trophies

for the best and fairest players in the mens’ (Peter Burge) and womens’ (Kath Smith) competitions.

Brown first won the award in 2003 when it was first available and for the next three seasons. Under 18s

and under 19s won their premierships. Club cricket returned to the Gabba with the T 20 final where

Wynnum Manly were outclassed by University and where the womens’ team lost the final to Western

Suburbs.

The 2006-07 season was the most successful for some years. The highlight was winning the Club

Championship by the narrowest of margins of 2.22 points from Redlands – the first such win since 1995-

96. Five teams made the finals (firsts, seconds, fifths, under 18s and women’s firsts) and fifth grade

secured the premiership.

A building program funded by assistance from the State Government and Brisbane City Council provided

a clubroom and dressing rooms on the main ground as well as dressing rooms for the second and third

grounds – facilities which are the equal of any club in our competition. The three grounds now have

dressing rooms, sight screens and fenced ovals . The Noel Gorman Pavilion was opened in February 2007

and recognises the contribution that Noel made to the Boundary Street grounds. In June 2008 the three

grounds at Boundary Street were named in honour of Club stalwarts – Bill Albury, Wayne Broad and Ian

Droney.

Wynnum Manly had fielded a Women’s team for 15 seasons from 1996 yet in 2010 for a variety of

reasons sufficient numbers for a team could not be found so ended an era. In 2011 the decision was

taken to again field a Women’s team. After a lot of preparation in the off season it seemed that a team

was organized but final commitment was not forthcoming and the initial nomination was withdrawn

before the start of the season.

In 2010, sixth grade won their third final in a hard fought match over Western Suburbs on Bill Albury

Oval. In 2011, the Club’s fiftieth season, there were five Queensland representative players in Chris

Simpson, Ryan Broad, Ben Laughlin, Jason Floros from Canberra and Alister McDermott from the Gold

Coast.

After a weather-interrupted first half to the season, the signs were encouraging as first, third, fourth,

fifth and sixth grades were contenders for the final four. However only first and fourth grades remained

competitive to make the finals. The weather again intervened in the semi final which saw first grade

advance to the final but fourth grade, having finished fourth, were eliminated. The highlight of the

fiftieth season was the 653rd first grade game – the premiership win against Toombul played at Allan

Border Field.

Adam Dale was appointed Club coach in September 2002. Dale initiated a period of professionalism to

club coaching. Bringing with him skills from successful Queensland teams, Dale looked at processes -

believing if the processes were right successes on the field would follow. Dale’s unexpected transfer to

Melbourne introduced Wayne Niven to the role. Niven continued the process analysing trends and

keeping the process simple. When Niven was recruited by Queensland Cricket in January 2008, Steven

Fryer was appointed and has continued the professional approach by promoting from within and

restructuring coaching by the appointments of Geoff Paulsen (batting) and Brendon Smith (bowling).

One of the strengths of Wynnum Manly is the stability and continuity of the administration. Ian Droney

has been president for 11 seasons, Neil King 10 years as secretary, Noel Hendrix four years as treasurer.

Setting the scene for this stability there have been only five presidents in the last 33 seasons

100 years of Brisbane Grade Cricket : Wynnum Manly Team of the Century.

As part of the celebration of 100 years of Brisbane Grade Cricket each Club was asked to select their best team

during that time. The following 12 players (in batting order) were selected. This team was recognised at a QCA

dinner on 3 October 1997. Wynnum Manly had at that time been in the First Grade competition for 36 seasons.

Statistics are as at 23 March 1997.

ODDITIES

1. The Syd Gregory match (Queensland Colts vs NSW Colts) played at the Gabba in October 1987,which

Queensland won, featured seven players who ultimately played for Wynnum Manly K.G.Evetts, G.J.Chambers, S.G.

Law, I.G.Stenhouse, E.J.Marriner played for Queensland and S.A.Prestwidge and J.J.Quint played for NSW.

Chambers was the only Wynnum player at that time.

2.David Brook’s consecutive fifth grade centuries (105 and 105*) in November 2009 was the first such instance in

31 seasons in that grade and the first time it has been done since Ben Nicholson’s 138 v South Brisbane and 114 v

Toombul in January/February 2007. Consecutive centuries are indeed relatively rare in that there are only nine in

first grade, three in second grade, the last in November 1994, one in third grade in March 2000 and one in fourth

grade in November 1993.

3. Ryan Broad was the only batsman to record three centuries in three consecutive innings – 104 v Sandgate

Redcliffe, 132 v Sunshine Coast and 162* v South Brisbane in November 2003 – until joined in our fiftieth season

by Nathan Rabnott who scored 109* v Valley, 106 v Sandgate Redcliffe and 130 v Western Suburbs. In achieving

this feat, Rabnott became the second player (after Greg Chambers) to score four centuries in a season having

previously scored 106 v Sandgate Redcliffe.

4. Reading of the Fourth Test England v West Indies at the Oval in August 2004, where all eleven English batsmen

reached double figures or better in scoring 470, prompted further investigation. While this may not seem

remarkable, it is in fact quite rare – being only the tenth time in Test history that it has occurred and the third time

England has done it. Before this, the last instance was when Australia did it in 1992-93 against Sri Lanka in

Colombo.

As rare as it might be in Tests, we can find no instance in the club’s first grade history (50 seasons – 653 matches)

where all eleven batsmen scored at least 10. There has been one occasion where 10 batsmen scored 10 or more,

in a record 9/656, and three times where nine batsmen did it in a completed innings. Research of the other grades

(including under 18s) over the last 21 seasons reveals only one instance where it was achieved third grade vs

Toombul in 1990-91 as below.

3rd Grade 1990/91 Vs Toombul

S.McNamee 11

D. Walker 25

R. Neate 94

B.Chapple 54

G.Budd 14

A.Kovchenko 12

M.Gouldstone 11

T.McNamee 35

H.Krause 27*

D.Johnson 20

R.Pewhairangi 44

Sundries 5

352 5. Queenslander Peter Cantrell caught Alec Stewart and Angus Fraser from the bowling of Terry Alderman during

England’s second innings at the Gabba in 1990-91. A specialist gully fieldsman, he was substituting for David Boon

who was suffering influenza ahead of the official 12th man, Carl Rackemann.

Queenslander Ryan Broad caught Andrew Strauss from the bowling of Stuart Clark in England’s second innings at

the Gabba in 2006-07.

6. The only instances in first grade where batsmen have carried their bats are:

Ryan Broad 162* vs South Brisbane at Norman Gray on 29.11.03 – out of a total of 284 included 25 x 4, 1 x 6 off

247 balls in 272 minutes.

Ian Rasmussen 44* vs Valley at Bulimba Memorial on 03.10.70 - out of a total of 112. Rasmussen made 23* out of

4/49 in the second innings.

7. The one sad note to the first game at Boundary Street, on 24 October 1981, was the tragic death of Club

Secretary Lionel Kerr on Saturday afternoon. Lionel had put more hours into this new venture than any other club

member and due to a prior commitment on Saturday did not get a chance to see a ball bowled. It may be a matter

of coincidence that Lionel passed away at almost the same time that fourths passed Eastern Suburbs’ score for a

first innings win.

8. Neil McWatters took seven wickets in consecutive innings when he took 7/45 in C Grade against Eastern Suburbs

at Kitchener Park on 28 October 1961 and 8/42 against Northern Suburbs at Graceville 2 on 4 November 1961.

McWatters did not bowl in the first innings against Eastern Suburbs and there was only one innings against

Northern Suburbs.

9. Keith Wilson took 7/20 in that same C Grade against Eastern Suburbs at Kitchener Park on 21 October 1961,

Round 3 of season 1, while Neil McWatters took 7/45 in the second innings. McWatters did not bowl in the first

innings as Eastern Suburbs were bowled out for 77 in 31 overs. Wilson opened the bowling in the second innings,

bowling seven overs for 0/17. McWatters was the sixth bowler used and bowled 12.5 overs. Eastern Suburbs

scored 127. Balmoral Wynnum scored 185 and 2/21 to win outright. This was the best bowling performance for

the new Club.

10. There have been only three times that four centuries have been scored in a single day. Jamie Droney 121,

Michael Stone 102, Regan Neate 100, Troy McGrath 126*, Brett Perrett 102* scored five centuries against

Toombul on 30 October 1993. Ryan Broad 241, Chris Hughes 107*, Craig Thomas 197* and Charlie Mylne 105

against University on 8 October 2005. Ryan Broad 169, Ryan Poole 100, Troy Watts 152 and Cameron Trask

208*against Sandgate Redcliffe on 2 December 2006.

CARNAGE

T20 Final v University, Allan Border Field 18.01.09

Back: T.S.Manvell, J.R.Poole, B.J.Rosel, B.Laughlin (C.) J.L.Seng, C.P.Simpson, S.R.Fryer

Front: K.J.Poole, W.J.Prowse, J.Seven, L.J.Waters, R.A.Broad, R.D.Poole.

To those of us who were lucky enough to witness it, it was an amazing display of continuous power hitting when

Ryan Broad and Chris Simpson put on a partnership of 228 runs in 53 minutes off 15 overs (91 balls). That is a

continuing average of 15+ for 15 overs and it started with 23 runs in the fourth over with other highs of 25, 24, 27

in successive overs from the fourteenth over.

Broad, overlooked by State selectors for the short game that season, hit 135 runs off 51 balls in 64 minutes with 16

sixes and 3 fours. Simpson hit 98 off 49 balls in 57 minutes with 6 sixes and 9 fours. They were big sixes, clearing

the Matthew Hayden Pavilion into Albion Park Raceway and into Brothers Rugby Union. Wynnum Manly finished

on 5 for 274 from their 20 overs.

University, with five State reps (Steve Farrell, Nathan Reardon, Craig Philipson, Michael Buchanan and Lachlan

Stevens), took up the challenge but accurate bowling by Jason Seng, aided by great catching by Jesse Seven, Ben

Laughlin and Kristian Poole, reduced them to 4 for 58. Seng finished with 5 for 39 off four overs as University were

dismissed for 185 in 17 overs.

Another highlight was Ben Laughlin’s in-flight follow through pickup and release run out of Mick Brundle.

This game featured the three Poole brothers playing a game together where Justin hit two sixes, Ryan remained

not out hitting one six and Kristian was caught on the boundary attempting a six.

The Founding Fathers

Many people worked towards securing a place for the new Club in the premier grade of the Brisbane

grade cricket competition. We have identified three men whose contribution was instrumental in that

quest.

James Albert Chapman:

Jim Chapman was the first secretary of Balmoral Wynnum , a role he continued to fill for nine seasons,

and was then President in the 1970-71 season. He had been a long time player and administrator for

Eastern Suburbs-Balmoral Club from a base at Bulimba Memorial Park and he drove the bid to gain

admittance to first grade.

Available records show that Chapman scored 2249 runs at 35.70 and took 91 wickets at 17.54 in B grade

in the 11 seasons from 1951 to 1961 at a time when he was also secretary of the Club. His dedication

and service was recognised when he was awarded Life membership of Eastern Suburbs -Balmoral in

1956.

Chapman played one game for Balmoral Wynnum in first grade in the initial season and played 66

matches in a further seven seasons until 1969 in his fiftieth year. He scored 1103 runs and took 89

wickets.

Jim Chapman was Bill Albury’s father-in-law and Bill tells the story of how, as a 14 year old, he walked

past the Chapman home at Norman Park with his cricket boots, on his way to catch a tram to sign up for

Eastern Suburbs at Langlands Park when Chapman persuaded him to play at Bulimba, as it turned out, in

their first season. Bill repaid him by taking the Intermediate batting and bowling awards as well as most

Club wickets that year.

Lawrence Gordon Chapman:

Lawrie Chapman was our first A grade captain in 1961-62 when Balmoral Wynnum was admitted to the

QCA competition. He was born in 1928 in Wynnum Rd close to Boundary Street, Tingalpa, and he

attended Tingalpa State School, Morningside State School and Wynnum State High School. He played his

junior cricket for the Wynnum North Club in the local competition.

In the 1946-47 season he scored 1064 runs at 212.8 where he had successive scores of 150*, 93*, 104*,

102*, 70* and earned the title of the “Wynnum Bradman” in the local newspapers. In the 1948-49

season, he joined Eastern Suburbs and transferred to Colts A grade where he opened the batting and

played for three years. He then played for Eastern Suburbs until 1956-57. He was one of the driving

forces to get a team from Wynnum into QCA A grade. To this end, he initially coached an Intermediate

team under the Wynnum Manly banner and then captained a C grade team which finished fourth in the

twelve team competition in 1960-61. In that season he scored 414 runs at 46 and took 81 wickets at

6.72 winning the competition’s batting and bowling averages.

With Wynnum’s first grade entry achieved in the 1961-62 season, albeit as Balmoral Wynnum, Chapman

captained this side and played for three seasons. In ten seasons of A grade with Colts, Eastern Suburbs

and Balmoral Wynnum, he played 102 innings scoring 2146 runs at 24.38 and took 186 wickets at 16.58.

He then played Warehouse cricket for some time and continued coaching until recent years where he

encouraged players to join Wynnum. Lawrie was married and had four daughters and lived most of his

life in the Wynnum area.

He represented Queensland, playing six Sheffield Shield matches from January 1950 to February 1952

and played for Queensland against the touring MCC in November 1950, scoring, in all, 123 runs and

taking 10 wickets.

Lawrence Gordon Chapman died at Alexandra Hills on 29 January 2008 in his 80th year

Clem Jones AO:

Clem Jones was a life member of Wynnum Manly and was a great supporter, advocate and benefactor

of the Club for over 40 years. Clem was on the Executive of Queensland Cricket when Balmoral Wynnum

and Sandgate Redcliffe entered the first grade competition in September 1961 and was the Club’s

greatest supporter as he argued against the opposition for admittance of the two new clubs. Clem’s

contribution to the Club was recognised by the awarding of life membership in 1992.

In 1976 the Club used the facilities of the Clem Jones centre at Carina as a home ground before the

establishment of the Boundary St grounds in the early 1980’s. Clem played one season for Wynnum

Manly, captaining C grade in 1976-77. In later years Clem provided funds for the Clem Jones Award to

assist a promising under 19 player with his cricket career. This was in keeping with Clem’s philosophy of

providing sporting opportunities for young players. Clem attended Trophy Presentations and Annual

General Meetings of the club as often as he could and was always interested in the Club’s performances

and generous with his counsel.

Profiles of Players and Administrators.

We have attempted to present profiles of Club players and administrators. Over 1800 players have

turned out for the Club over 50 seasons. Unfortunately we cannot recall them all as they are lost in

the mists of time. Early annual reports were sometimes sparse in detail even to the point of not

identifying players. We have limited publication to those who played for some time or find

themselves on lists of high performers. To those we may have overlooked we apologise. To the many

volunteers who, over the years, have given freely of their time, sometimes without adequate

recognition, we belatedly say thank you. Numbers are first grade allocation.

Kevin John Albury: 39

Kevin Albury joined Balmoral Wynnum in its first season in 1961-62 with brother Bill, playing third and

fourth grades or B and C grades as they were then. He played second grade in his next season and first

grade the season after that. He played until the 1969-70 season and returned for the 1975 and 1976

seasons in third grade. In all he played 100 matches, 31 in first grade taking 71 wickets at 22.76 and 226

career wickets at 16.12. In the early 1980s he worked as groundsman for the new Boundary Street

wickets and it is generally regarded that the wickets at that time were the best around, being fast and

true.

Rohan James Albury: 249

Rohan Albury played sixth grade with father Bill in 1997 and under 18s in 1998 and 2000. He has taken

252 career wickets at 21.54 from 131 matches. He is one of only seven players to have played every

grade along with his father Bill. He played two matches in first grade in 2005 and another in 2009 and

also four limited overs games. He is one of four third generation Club players along with brother Ashley,

Ryan Broad and Dustin Gaskell – following grandfather Jim Chapman and father Bill. Studies and a move

to the Sunshine Coast have interrupted his playing career with infrequent appearances in recent

seasons.

William Douglas Albury: 38

The legend of Wynnum Manly played continuously for 42 seasons. A life member since 1973, Wubby

started playing as a 14 year old in the 1961-62 season, the first in which Balmoral Wynnum was

admitted to the QCA competition. In his third game he took 9/20 and finished with 14/40 against

Northern Suburbs at Davies Park. He took 52 wickets at 7.70 for the season. He made first grade in 1964

at 16 years and 322 days and played 210 matches until the final of 1985-86 against South Brisbane, in

all, 23 seasons, of which he missed only 1978-79 through injury, where he played as a batsman in

second grade. He took 507 wickets at 19.58, including 23 returns of five or better and made 2349 runs in

first grade. He scored a double of 106 and took 6/77 against Eastern Suburbs at Wynnum Memorial in

October 1974. When he retired from first grade he continued to play in the lower grades culminating in

captaining a premiership in sixth grade in 1993-94. He has appeared in more finals than any other player

with seven starts for six wins. There was only one season, 1989-90, in which he did not play at least one

match. He took a career 930 wickets at 17.40 which is 458 more than the second placed David

Humphries.

Albury played five seasons for Queensland Colts and 28 matches for Queensland between 1970-71 and

1973-74 where he took 75 wickets at 32.18. He also played nine one day games taking 15 wickets at

18.66. Bill Albury’s dedication and contribution to the Club were honoured by naming the Number 1

ground the Bill Albury Oval in June 2007.

Bill’s sons Ashley and Rohan became third generation players for Wynnum Manly following Bill’s father

in law Jim Chapman’s long contribution starting with a playing career first with Eastern Suburbs

Balmoral and then as an administrator as the initial Secretary with Balmoral Wynnum in 1961-62 and as

President for one season in 1970-71.

Donald John Allen: 105

Don Allen was recruited from Northern Suburbs to captain first grade and strengthen the batting for the

1974-75 season following the lean years of the early 1970s. He played two seasons at Wynnum scoring

103* in his first match and hit 986 runs at 37.92 (one hundred and four fifties) from 22 matches before

returning to Northern Suburbs in 1976. His joining Wynnum proved successful, for first grade finished

the highest it ever had, fourth in 1975 and fifth in 1976. Allen had played eight Shield games at this

stage and went on to play two more in 1974-75 while at Wynnum. He was part of the successful

Northern Suburbs teams which won consecutive finals in the early 1970s and is Northern Suburbs’

highest first grade run getter with 6682 runs from 178 matches spanning 16 seasons.

Noel John Allen:

Noel Allen was associated with Vikings Juniors and was elected to the committee when eldest son James

joined in 1987. When Vikings became Wynnum Manly Juniors based at Boundary Street he continued his

committee work serving as President from 1990 to 2001 He worked as groundsman on the Boundary

Street wickets for three seasons. He was awarded life membership in March 2001 because of his work

with the Juniors and continues to serve on the Committee where he has run the Milo Have a go and In 2

Cricket programme since 1989 for juniors until recent years. At district level he has run The Taverners

and Ray Weire programmes in 1993 and 1994 and from 1998 to 2000. He was awarded the Australian

Sports Medal to commemorate Australian Sporting achievement in April 2001.

Michael Leslie Apps: 160A

Michael Apps played under 18s under Barry Plant’s coaching in 1979. He was promoted into second

grade in 1981 and played one match in first grade in December 1983 as a replacement for Peter

Monaghan absent because of work commitments. He fielded on the Saturday against Colts who finished

at stumps on the first day at 1/211 after a rain affected 84 overs and unfortunately the Sunday second

day was washed out. He has the first grade number 160A to maintain the sequence since there was no

mention of the match in the annual report of that season. Apps went on to play 161 matches over 15

seasons between 1979 and 1998 scoring 3917 runs. He has the highest aggregate runs in third grade

with 1985 runs at 25.78.

John Clifford Bell : 119

John Bell was appointed as paid coach in 1976-77, the first such appointment for a Brisbane grade club.

Don Allen, having played with Bell at Northern Suburbs, recommended Bell to coach Wynnum Manly

when Allen returned to Northern Suburbs after playing two seasons with Wynnum. Bell, who proved to

be the first grade rejuvenation that Wynnum needed, was to take the team into eight successive finals

under his captaincy and coaching. With the introduction of grade limited overs cricket with the Sunday

30 over Channel O Cup, Bell was successful in winning three finals from five starts. First grade

Premierships followed in 1980-81, 1981-82 and 1982-83. Bell had been vice captain at Northern Suburbs

and had figured in three consecutive finals wins in 1970-71, 1971-72 and 1972-73. He played 115 first

grade matches for Northern Suburbs where he made 2982 runs at 26.39 and 252 dismissals (210 catches

and 42 stumpings). Bell played for eight seasons at Wynnum scoring 2769 runs at 35.87 and taking 103

dismissals (83 catches and 20 stumpings). He made two Shield appearances - vs Tasmania at the Gabba

in December 1978 and New South Wales at the Gabba in January 1979 in matches where four Club

players were selected (Wayne Broad, John Maguire and Denis Schuller). Bell joined Western Suburbs as

club coach in 1985-86 and played for three seasons winning a premiership in 1987-88.

Alfred Stanley Birks: 25

Alf Birks joined Balmoral Wynnum in the 1962-63 season where he played A grade for five seasons after

having played in Second Division and Warehouse competitions in the Wynnum Manly area. A prolific

wicket taker, he secured 213 victims at an average of 15.75. He still holds first grade’s season aggregate

record with 73 wickets at 11.79 which he attained from 18 matches in 1963-64 with nine instances of

five wickets or better per innings. The following season he took 60 wickets at 18.25. Only recently has

Adam Dale been the only bowler to come close to Birk’s averages in all those 50 odd seasons. He was

also handy with the bat and scored A grade’s first century with 101 at Bulimba against Colts in the first

match of the 1963-64 season in the Club’s third season of A grade. He was known and respected by the

Club members who come from Bundaberg where he continued his involvement at club level with

coaching and administration. Alf Birks died in Bundaberg on 24 February 2004.

Jake Phillip Boyle:

Jake Boyle first played for Wynnum Manly in September 2006 after having played six seasons for Norths

in Cairns. He previously played nine seasons for Randwick in Sydney. He has now had five seasons with

Wynnum in fifth and sixth grades where he has captained both grades. He has now scored 1725 Career

runs. He was awarded Clubman of the Year in 2010.

Ryan Andrew Broad: 223

Ryan Broad made his Queensland debut in November 2005. He has now played 51 matches and scored

2886 runs including seven centuries and twelve fifties as well as 23 one day matches. He has played for

Wynnum for 16 seasons scoring 6861runs including 13 centuries which places him fifth highest on

career aggregates. He has played 114 first grade matches scoring 4132 runs at 35.12. He has scored the

highest individual first grade score at 241, the highest limited overs score of 207, the highest T20 score

with 135 off 51 balls (16 x 6, 3 x4) in a partnership with Chris Simpson of 228 in 53 minutes off 91 balls.

He shares the Club’s highest partnership (first grade third wicket) of 300 with Chris Hughes. In

November 2003 he scored three centuries (104, 132 and 164*) in consecutive innings, the first time this

was done. In scoring 164* against South Brisbane he carried his bat only the second time it has been

done in 50 seasons of first grade. He won the Alun Patullo Trophy in 2004. As a substitute fieldsman in

the Gabba Test against England on 26 November 2006 he caught Andrew Strauss off the bowling of

Stuart Clark emulating Peter Cantrell’s effort some 16 seasons before.

Wayne Ronald Broad: 108

Wayne Broad began his 33 season Wynnum Manly career as a 14 year old batsman/wicketkeeper in the

Intermediate grade in the 1970-71 season. He played first grade in 1974-75 as a wicketkeeper replacing

journalist David Falkenmire who retired to pursue his career. In his first season in first grade at 18 he

also took on the role as wicket curator and canteen co-ordinator at Wynnum Memorial Park.

He continued playing until 1992 including a two year stint in Colts in 1976-77 and 1977-78 during which

he scored 788 runs at 32.83 under the system where promising players were seconded to play first

grade for Colts under an experienced coach.

When he retired from first grade where he scored 5482 runs at 34.92 and took 129wickets at 26.57 he

played two seasons in the Redlands competition. After this two year break he returned to Wynnum

where he ran the fourth grade team as a development side for promising under 16s including his son

Ryan and eventual Bulls captain Chris Simpson.

In the 1997-98 season in fourth grade he took 9/56 against Valley at Norm McMahon and a hat trick

against Sandgate Redcliffe at Boundary Street. He had previously taken a hat trick against Ipswich at

Boundary Street in a Gabba Cup game in 1987-88. He continued to play, captaining second and third

grade teams while continuing this developmental role. He has attained the clubs highest career

aggregate runs currently the only batsman to score in excess of 10,000 runs. He continued his

involvement by playing in Winter warehouse in 2002 and also in the over 40s comp and the occasional

third grade game.

In January 1978 he was selected for the first of his 28 matches for Queensland in the Sheffield Shield

competition. He scored 1215 runs at 24.79 including 120 v New South Wales at Sydney in January 1979

and five fifties and took seven wickets. He has the dubious honour of being twelfth man on 14 occasions

a fact which prompted his retirement in February 1983. Broad was part of a purple patch for the Club in

that we provided nine Shield players during this time and he played in four games in which Wynnum

Manly provided four players in a Shield eleven.

A life member of the Club since 1988, he has been a tireless worker with ground and Board

responsibilities and oversaw the successful upgrade of the new number one ground in 2002. He was

awarded the Australian Sports Medal to commemorate Australian Sporting achievement as well as

awarded Clubman of the Year in 2001. In June 2007 his contribution was recognised by naming the

second ground in his honour.

David Charles Brook:

David Brook joined Wynnum Manly in 2002 to play mostly fifth grade. He became fifth grade’s highest

aggregate scorer in 2008 and scored his maiden century in the final round of 2009. In the 2010 season

he added a further two centuries scoring 105 and 105* in consecutive innings. He has the highest

aggregate in fifth grade with 2423 runs at 23.99 (three centuries and seven fifties) having previously

overtaken Craig Thomas’s 1763 runs. He has now played 103 matches in ten seasons for 3023 career

He played 127 matches of first grade for Wynnum over 10 seasons amassing 4980 runs at 39.21 and

overlooked by Queensland selectors – a role he subsequently undertook for one season in 1993. He had

previously played 67 matches in eight seasons scoring 2582 first grade runs at 38.52 for Eastern Suburbs

(six centuries) and two seasons for Colts. With 8733 runs at 41.00 he was second only to Wayne Broad in

career runs until overtaken by Justin Poole in 2008. Had he played all his cricket for Wynnum he would

easily have been the most prolific Club batsman. He holds the record for most centuries in first grade

(10) and career (18) and he has scored the most runs in a season with 1103 first grade plus one day

runs. He recorded 122, 118 and 136 for three centuries for the season in 1985-86 and he hit consecutive

centuries 182* and 118 in October/November 1986 and hit 118 against Western Suburbs to record

three centuries for the season.

When he retired from first grade he did not play for two seasons but then returned at 39 years of age to

play fourth grade and help with the development of younger players. He played for eight more seasons

captaining and playing in second, third and fourth grades. He was made a life member of the Club in

March 1993 and is an on-going supporter and sponsor.

Noel Francis Gorman:

After three years on the committee Noel Gorman was elected President in 1980, a position he kept for

14 seasons until March 1994 – a record term. The 1980s found Wynnum Manly at Boundary Street,

Tingalpa following a short lived move to the Clem Jones centre at Carina in 1978. Noel Gorman presided

over this development and with a dedicated band of players and officials armed with public sector

finance produced two fields and a clubhouse, which evolved from a Council floodplain and a discarded

Brisbane Tram into a quality grade cricket facility. From this beginning the cricket complex as we know

it, emerged and developed. This sense of history and a willingness to build for the future has carried

through to today. In 1993, the decision was taken to join with Wynnum Soccer and later Bulimba Hockey

at Boundary Street and with changes to licensing and gaming regulations a building program was

undertaken and a joint sports club formed to operate the licensed premises and contribute to the

running of multiple sports. Noel Gorman oversaw this development with board members from the

sporting clubs. When the new complex was opened in 1994 the pavilion overlooking the Number 1 oval

was named the Noel Gorman Pavilion. In 2000 when the old number one ground was relinquished to

soccer it was decided that the new club rooms would carry Noel Gorman’s name. This was realised in

February 2007 when the new rooms were officially opened and named. Noel Gorman was made a life

member in 1987 and he continues his involvement with sponsorship and support.

Recollections of Grade Cricket – Wayne Niven.

Grade cricket in 1978-79 was a little bit different to what we see today. The grade system was set-up

using A, A-Reserve, B, and C grades. The under 18 competition was the only under age competition

administered by Grade Clubs. The number of Clubs was obviously smaller than we see today as there

was no Gold Coast, Sunshine Coast nor Beenleigh Logan in the competition.

Standard of grounds

The standard of grounds we played on I found to be reasonably good, as we the players assisted the

ground staff where needed. The practice facilities at The Clem Jones Centre at Carina where I first

played for Wynnum were a little bit up and down though.

The outfields at most grounds were fairly rough, as I don’t recall too many clubs having in ground

sprinkler systems in the 1970s. The old Bottomley Park springs to mind, with the eastern side of the

main oval almost exclusively consisting of bindi eyes.

The lower grade wickets were sometimes a lottery as well depending on who we were playing and how

much work we did prior to play. I vaguely recall covers used on most wickets, although occasionally

there were local showers around certain suburbs which made life a bit difficult.

Degree of professionalism – training intensity.

I found training to be very good as it was run by the senior players who organised nets and some

fielding. People like Merv Jackson, Robin Harris and Bill Albury were generally the ones who gave us

direction as to what we needed to do to become better players. We didn’t really have coaches then as

most of us young guys trained as a group and listened intently to whatever the older guys gave us.

We trained on turf practice wickets at Carina with the intensity being very good as the quicks were

always trying to kill the batters on some interesting wickets. A guy by the name of Bill Nowak (147

wickets) scared the daylights out of most of us as he would charge in (all 6 foot 6 inches of him) and

bowl bouncers all night. Not to mention the “Mongrel Ball. “

The social aspect of cricket has certainly changed from when I first began in 1978-79. I guess society has

also changed since then though, and our sport is probably a reflection of that as well.

Cricket was played pretty hard on the field (no different to today’s players) and probably harder off the

field for some as well. Mixing after play with the opposition was a regular occurrence at all Clubs. All

players remained after play for a period of time to analyse/discuss/dissect the day’s play. I found this to

be an important part of the game as it allowed us to form friendships that in most cases still remain

today.

Why Wynnum Manly was different from other clubs.

In the late 1970’s early 1980’s, cricket was booming with World Series Cricket on the TV, and interest in

the game very high. With that came a sense that professionalism was coming, and players were now

being rewarded for their efforts. At Wynnum we were fortunate during that time to have a group of

players come together to form arguably the strongest team in first grade history. Their performances

are well documented.

As a young player during that time it was the professionalism that this group of players showed that

made the club a very strong one. These guys trained very hard during the week, and played a very

aggressive brand of cricket. That legacy is something very important to our club, as this group set the

benchmark for our future years.

Some comparison with today.

Facilities were always an issue at Wynnum. In some years we didn’t even have a ground to play on or

anywhere to train. I remember one season training at Camp Hill High School and playing all our matches

at opposition venues.

The advent of Boundary Street was something to behold. A vacant expanse of grass with nothing but

trees surrounding it. There are no doubt many stories of the early years at Boundary Street, but for me,

amongst the Trams, and lack of facilities, a moment I recall fondly was a Grade game on number one

when Bill Albury had bowled a thousand overs in a day, and walked straight off the field, disrobed, and

held the only hose in the place over his head to have a shower. There was no running water in the

Trams.

Where we are today is simply outstanding, and a credit to everyone involved with the club. Over the

years our facilities have continued to improve, and we now have the best serviced grounds in the

competition.

Story time.

Amongst the many amusing events that have transpired over the past 32 years of my involvement with

Wynnum, one of the more interesting moments was a day in Third Grade in the late 90’s (I think) when,

as Captain of the side, I was looking at taking the second new ball.

Our Manager back then was a guy called Dicky Lockyer, great bloke and clubman personified. Dicky

came to all our games and provided much support for a side containing a mix of young and old. His own

son played, and we went quite well over the period playing in a couple of semis.

Anyway that afternoon at Boundary Street it was pretty tough day and it was nearing the 80th over. We

were playing on what is now No. 1 and the outfield was lightning. I signalled to Dicky that I would need

the second new ball soon, as the current one was cooked, and he best get it ready for us. Dicky’s

nephew may be a good football player, but Dicky was no cricketer.

Dickey raced into the change rooms and went to throw it out to me. Somehow he mistimed his release

letting it go way too late and the trajectory of the ball began to go skywards and behind him. As I stood

waiting, I watched the shiny new rock sail straight over his head. At this point some of my players began

to laugh. The ball landed on the roof of the clubhouse, ran down the corrugated iron, fell into the gutter,

and could be heard clanging as it surged through the downpipe and into the abyss. No new ball. Dickey

stood there arms apart, apologising profusely, as Drones was whinging about losing another 50 bucks in

ball costs.

Needless to say I bowled a few more overs that afternoon.

Recollections of Wynnum - Wayne Broad

The Wynnum club has evolved amazingly over the period that I have been a proud member. You could

say that we have be a club unafraid to make decisions and undertake change.

When I first played, our home ground was at Bulimba Memorial Park. We then decided to set up closer

to the Wynnum community at Wynnum Memorial Park. We then saw a financial opportunity at the

Clem Jones centre at Carina (encouraged to do so by then Lord Mayor Clem Jones).

But finally it was our bold move to Carmichael Park at Tingalpa that was to set the club up for the future.

The area then was a swamp and a former dump that needed a major overhaul.

Not only did we have the courage to move to different playing venues we also were pioneers in the area

of player development and I do believe we were the first club to employ a club coach.

We always did have our knockers from the other more traditional club structures but I believe that is

what steeled our resolve to be such pioneers.

My fond memories of those times are the strong camaraderie and club spirit that we developed. I can’t

think of any other club that would happily have an old tram as the clubhouse and thereby embody the

spirit and meaning that that would provide to members of a sporting club.

The number of volunteers that the Wynnum Cricket club attracted was truly amazing and without them

this club would be compared with other clubs in the competition that have stayed the same for decades.

It did help with the very relaxed drink driving laws of the time of course.

Our first grade premiership wins were more often than not “come from behind results”. A classic

example being a final against South Brisbane where we needed well over 200 in less than a session to

win - and we did.

In the scheme of life the history is only 50 years but it truly has been a progressive, enjoyable,

educational and eventful 40 years of my life that I will never forget or regret.

Wynnum Manly Memories – Ian Duncan.

I am proud to say I am a born and bred Wynnum Manly Sea Eagle. I ended up playing every grade in the

club to First Grade. I started in 1980 and retired from first grade in 2002 and it was a great journey.

I began playing primary school cricket for Manly West as well as district McCasker and Shell Shields (on

turf ! at Memorial Park Wynnum) on the weekends and then for Wynnum High. I came to play for the

Sea Eagles when my coach at Zone 4 level, the tenacious, elderly, foul mouthed and dedicated Barry

Plant, brought Mark Little, Brett McKeown and me across to play grade cricket. In those early seasons

with Barry we played cricket all year round playing for Pioneers and Caribbeans in the winter and grade

in the summer. He was a great mentor to a lot of the young Wynnum boys at that stage.

I remember my very first practice for Wynnum as a 14year old at some high school nets (BBC I think) and

spending 20 minutes facing Queensland leggie Ian Gallagher and not being able to lay a bat on any of

Gal’s deliveries, thinking “how was I ever going to get picked in any team”.

I grew up quickly in the lower grades. Young boys thrown together with old veterans like John Zielke,

Barry Wacker and Robin Harris in small two metre wide demountables for dressing sheds, learning

about how to: - “not look at the mantelpiece while you’re stokin’ a fire” - use “paddocks” - understand

“head-standing genealogy” etc etc etc. We learnt much more about life than we probably learnt about

cricket!

I played as a keeper all the way through but in my first match in thirds at Clem Jones I had about a

hundred byes when one of the fast bowlers thought it would be a great idea to bowl around the wicket

and then spray them down the leg side. I heard on the grapevine post match that I was described as

“not being a keeper’s (part of the anatomy)”. Planty said to me to tell the bloke to “pull his head in” (as

if I would at that age) and just keep your head down. I just kept my head down and kept improving.

I was in the very first match played at Boundary Street in fourths on 24th October 1981, when the club

moved from the Clem Jones Centre at Carina to its current home. There was a sewage plant on the hill

and an old tram as a dressing room/clubhouse. What a massive transformation our club has made over

the years from that old tram to a skinny besser-block toilets/dressing rooms that eventually expanded to

a large club room with a bar, then a two-storey balconied club house (when we merged with Wynnum

Wolves Soccer and Bulimba Bulls hockey), and then to the amazing Club we have today with wonderful

dressing rooms and fields with picket fences and large sightscreens.

On the way we have become a much more professional group of players too. Perhaps it started when

‘Eddie’ Gaskell took us for a preseason camp to Straddie and although there was the obligatory sand-hill

climbs and catching balls in the surf, the most innovative training was the Club Versus Big Keith Ogden

Tug-o-War! After Eddie, Mark ‘Tools’ Tooley took over the reins of first grade and brought in the much

loved and parochial Team Song.

Later Ken Healy came across from Souths and brought with him the experience of winning premierships.

He had Brett Le Man (former Bronco and former Wynnum fifth grade bowler!) as our fitness trainer and

a (media) manager Nigel Cummings. “Nutty” whipped us into shape that season and it culminated in our

winning the flag in 1995/96 (my only premiership with Wynnum). I remember ‘Larry’ Laughlin in the

rooms after the game praising how much heart we had “when the whips were crackin’” at the end of

the final. We were fit and strong!

It was such a great ride that year. My fondest memory was our semi final win over Norths at Boundary

Street with Dollars (Ian Dollery) bowling us to victory in front of a large crowd packed onto the balcony

of the Clubhouse (including a helmeted Norths Viking supporter with an air-raid siren) with the Wynnum

faithful singing “Walking in a Wynnum Wonderland” ad nauseam at every fall of wicket. The singing

continued right up to the final day of the Final at the Gabba.

On that final day of the Final, we needed a great bowling performance to get us home. I had heard

stories about the heroic Bill Albury breathing fire and charging on to the field in his day and saying “I

don’t want anyone to step on the field who doesn’t reckon we can win” when he bowled Wynnum to an

unlikely victory. I asked if he would address the boys before we went out. I was hoping he would do a

similar full-on inspirational speech to stir us up, but ‘Wubby’ just had a quiet word to a few blokes about

“doing their thing” but it worked! - We rolled Uni for just 165 to take the title.

As a player, I feel very fortunate to have played with so many superstars like Stuart Law, Adam Dale,

Scott Prestwidge, Ken Healy, Peter Cantrell, Mark Tooley, Wayne Broad, Mark Gaskell and Bill Albury but

also have had the pleasure of being teammates with blokes like Russell Cross, Michael Dann, Wayne

Niven, Mick Stone, Craig Thomas, Brett Perrett, the Taylors and McNamees, Michael Apps, Paul Simon

and Graham Mapri (to name but a few) who have made this club a great one.

I have unforgettable memories of a cricket lifetime spent at Wynnum Manly including ... Tools’ miracle

one-handed catch full length on the boundary at South’s Fehlberg No2.. Two straight driven sixes where

I viewed both from the non strikers end (1) Stuart Law (batting on a diabolical Fehlberg park wicket

where no one else on both teams could hit it off the square!) hit their opening bowler over the

clubhouse during his 141* - I was sure I could see half the bat on both sides of the ball as he struck it!

And (2) Scott Prestwidge in his debut for Wynnum in a precarious position at Uni and facing outright

defeat hits their bowler over the sightscreen off the first delivery he faced.; and Presto who also

produced the ultimate ball : a very quick outie, pitching on leg and flicking the off bail against a Sandgate

batsman at Grammar.

And as for Keeping ... although there should be a Caught Duncan Bowled Dann (Michael Dann) Stand

erected shortly at Boundary Street, I’d have to say Adam Dale was the best Wynnum bowler I kept to.

Doemie’s accuracy and swing was sublime. I could have stood still in the same spot with my arms folded

all day and then just taken the catches or balls perilously missing stumps, bats and pads at groin height

only moving when we had to change ends.

I was once very apprehensive about going on a regional Bulls tour and carrying an injury and I remember

my good mate Scott Prestwidge saying to me “What’s the worst thing that could happen – You come

back and play for Wynnum”. And of course he was right... and it wasn’t the worst thing –

for me, it was the greatest thing!

Happy Fiftieth!

What’s Wynnum Manly District Cricket Club All About? Graham Mapri.

I have just concluded my 19th season at Wynnum Manly and as usual, for a guy of my age, I am asking

myself, “how many more seasons do I have left in me and why do I go on?”

For most guys a growing family, nagging wife, full time employment and ageing bones seems to be

enough of an excuse to hang ‘em up, but for me I think a few more seasons beckon.

Sure cricket has changed greatly over the past two decades. Level of professionalism, facilities, social

habits and age demographic of fellow players but one thing has stayed the same that keeps me coming

back season after season.

Mateship.

At Wynnum, a 'mate' is more than just a friend. It's a term that implies a sense of shared experience,

mutual respect and unconditional assistance whilst not placing a requirement on the level of

competence a player has in the game nor their background outside of the game.

In my time I have played and associated with players varying from Australian Representatives to

Warehouse Players, lawyers to street cleaners, players of all races and religions but once our baggy

green and gold caps are donned ….

“We are the Sea-Eagles, we are the good ol’ Sea-Eagles”.

In this our 50th Season and with over 1800 players having now represented the Sea-Eagles it makes me

wonder – how did this all begin?

Time and time again we see other clubs bear no semblance of mateship even within a single grade team

let alone throughout the entire club. Yet every season something always pops up that reminds me that

at Wynnum we are a “CLUB”.

This season saw two such occurrences – both of similar ilk.

One was at Valley when our first, third and fifth grade teams all had resounding victories over the boys

in blue. Seeing the first grade boys waiting patiently on the hill at Ashgrove for our third and fifth grade

teams to finish their respective matches allowing us all to get together in the dressing rooms to enjoy

each other’s success on the field and belt out the club song as a club was truly something to behold.

Similarly in the final round of the regular season both first grade from Bill Albury Oval and fourth grade

from Beenleigh traipsed over to Ian Droney and Wayne Broad Ovals to support third grade and fifth

grade in their quests for victory after their own victories earlier in the day enabling us to have four

winning teams yelling out the club song in the third grade dressing room – 50 blokes singing victoriously

in one dressing room from all grades and hierarchical positions – surely this was something to

remember!

Similar stories from seasons passed are many and varied (here are a few which make me laugh):-

The creation of Craig Thomas…

Craig Thomas is now a household name amongst current players at Wynnum Manly accruing thousands

of club runs whilst inhaling thousands of salad rolls and alcoholic beverages.

Craig’s introduction to the club however, was inauspicious to say the least.

A club function was to be held upstairs at the sports club after Craig had shown his rare talent with the

bat by collecting a pair of ducks in one day. Nobody was aware who Craig was until his entry into the

club function whereupon everybody was advised of his rare accomplishment that day.

Craig, to his credit took the friendly ribbing on the chin and a club legend was born.

Needless to say Craig followed his pair with a score of 150 the next round and many, many more runs

that season allowing Scott Prestwidge to label him “Bradman” and forging a great relationship between

the then Bulls player with the middle grade superstar.

Take that Simpson!

Michael Stone had been out of grade cricket for a couple of seasons when he decided that he needed a

net prior to one of his many frequent grade cameo appearances.

Stoney has played his share of first and second grade games at WMDCC and is somewhat of a club

legend in his own right being amongst the top ten all time run scorers of the club.

Chris Simpson at this time was the Queensland Bulls Captain in all three forms of the game but had

managed to get down to training for a bowl despite his very busy schedule.

So Stoney rocks into training in his office work attire and proceeds to get changed into some form of

training gear (or at least the best form that he could muster). He immediately straps his pads on and

walks into net number 1 pushing out whichever first grader was there at the time.

Simmo proceeds to bowl to Stoney who runs down the wicket and smashes Simmo out of the net onto

Bill Albury Oval whilst yelling “take that Simpson” at the top of his voice.

After putting Simmo in his place Stoney gets cleaned up a few times by some of the first grade bowlers

and struts out of the net figuring that he is in top knick for the weekend.

You don’t even know who I am.

Back in the early 90’s nights on the drink at some of the city’s “best” watering holes were frequented

from players of all grades associating with everyone and anyone from WMDCC.

These were great nights with 20 or 30 blokes going out together just about every Saturday night

speaking about what they had done on the field that day embellishing every last detail.

A young Mapri had been coerced into a drink with a few first graders and Mapri was embellishing with

the best of them. Enter Scott Prestwidge who wanted to be a part of the drinking and discussions only to

be greeted with the words “you don’t even know who I am” from Mapri, putting Prestwidge in his place.

Presto was naturally taken aback by this comment but such was the comradeship within the club it

didn’t take long for Presto to find out who I was and for us to become mates (even if Presto does enjoy

reminding me of this comment from time to time).

What of the future?

Well these days I am involved with the junior structure of WMDCC. My eldest two boys are playing

down at Boundary Street with the older of the two representing a team named after my mate Ben

Laughlin.

Current and past players have their boys playing in the junior structure too, namely Ryan Poole, David

Brook, Paul Roe, Ken Healy, Shannon Rogerson amongst others forging new mateships and continuing

on from where their fathers left off.

So I am unsure how it all began but these mateships are what convince me that the mighty Sea-Eagles

will be in good hands for a long time to come and the friendships that the boys forge both on and off the

field with their team mates is what Wynnum Manly District Cricket Club is all about.

2010-11 Premiership team

S.E.Carlson bowled by C.L.Rosario 2010-11 Final

Recollections of Wynnum -David Humphries

I was encouraged to join Wynnum Manly by my good mate Paul Simon, when I was 19 years old. I had

previously played Under 16s, Under 18s, fourths and fifths for Eastern Suburbs. I played fifths and sixths

in my first season and took 51 wickets, plus I was part of a winning fifth Grade Premiership team. I

played fourths and fifths the following season and took another 38 wickets.

Next season I was asked to skipper fifth grade so I put my aspirations of playing higher on hold to help

the club. Life then continued on and my focus became more of playing to enjoy the game, and doing

what I could to help the Club. I ended up skippering seasons on and off from then on, plus Club

Treasurer for a couple of seasons and Chairman of Selectors (for six weeks!).

I played about eight or nine seasons straight without missing a single match and have missed maybe

four games in total due to injury – broken fingers and only one hammy strain – I would encourage all

players to maintain, as a minimum, the same standard of fitness that I worked hard for during my

playing day - it will take some effort.

The quality of the Club can be measured by the quality of the people behind the scenes. I don’t know if

the players realise how lucky they are to have the services of people such as Drones, Kingy and Mappers

at the helm. The Club seems to attract quality people and we have had so many others over the years

who were so willing to put their time and effort into the place, such as Sword, Scotty, Papa and Mumma

Poole, Eddie Gaskell, Presto, Chippen, Heals, Wubby, Steely, Dunk-man and Noel Allen - to name just a

few.

I am delighted that my career is on the up and up, but I have to admit, I was sad not playing cricket for

Wynnum Manly when I spent a couple of years in the country. I missed putting on my boots and running

out on the field. I wasn’t sure how my playing days would end- but presumed it would be due to either

my knees collapsing or a heart attack.

All I would ask of the current players is that, every time you put on your baggy green Wynnum cap, wear

it with pride – be aware that the cap represents the blood, sweat and tears of hundreds of other guys

that put their all in to make Wynnum Manly the great Club that it is today.

The mystery man.

It was at pre-season training on a Saturday, in my second season, having just come off 51 wickets in my

initial Wynnum season, that I rocked up expecting some “love” from the coach and the selectors. All I

heard from Coach Mal Gouldstone was his raving about this new bowler in the net next to me “he’s got

the ball on a string; he’ll kill them in ones this year; look and learn boys” etc etc.

I had a bit of a look and thought “what are they going on about, he’s probably at least a yard slower

than me, he’s skinny and not built like a strike bowler. He hardly moved the ball at all through the air

(maybe he would get some bite off a dusty deck – but this wasn’t India, it was Boundary Street.

The more they went on about it, the more I decided to charge in and knock over/maim whoever was

batting. Nothing -not a word.

To add insult to injury, mystery Super Fast Bowler then turned to me at the top of my run (he had to

walk another 15 metres back from the top of his “spinners” run-up) and said “well bowled mate, that

last one was a real good one – keep working on it” “Keep working on it.” This guy was kidding himself -.I

was hoping he’d strap the pads on! These selectors and the coach just didn’t recognise talent when they

saw it.

Anyway, a few years later, Simo and I were sitting up late one night, watching “Mystery Super Fast

Bowler” make his debut for Australia v India, in India. Simo said to me “How good is it to see someone

we know and like from our Club debut for Australia...well done Adam” - I too was feeling proud as punch

for Adam and absolutely loved watching him bowl. He achieved so much and was a fantastic

ambassador for the Club. I said to Simo “it is fantastic what he has achieved, especially for a bowler half

as good as me!”

Painy.

A legendary story around the club is about the late Gregg Pain. Gregg was an unbelievably funny bloke

and a great team mate, but he was at times a little slow on the uptake. The story goes that one day he

was at the Gabba with a few of the boys, including Chris Hockey, Carl Pockson and Mappers. Chock and

the boys were talking about Mark “Fast Eddie” Gaskell, dissecting the game the day before and Eddie’s

contribution. Gregg was engrossed in the cricket. The conversation then turned to Eddie and his

business, Gabba Sporting. Gregg turned to Carl and whispered a question to which Carl announced “No

Painy, Mark Gaskell DOESN’T own THE GABBA!”

Another Gregg Pain story. We had a Sportmans night upstairs at the club, where we had to purchase our

drinks. Gregg was a bit short of ready cash, but was commited to attend a have a great night. His

devious plan was to buy coke, go down the stairs and add a little nip from his “hidden flask”. Things

were going well for Painy, up until he had consumed most of his flask. Later in the night, he went up to

the bar and returned where he then proceeded to get most upset and let fly with a series of profanities.

Concerned, we asked what was wrong. Painy replied “This plan of mine just isn’t working”. ”Why not

Painy, are they on to you?” ”No, it’s not that, I just keep ordering Bourbon and Coke at the bar!”

Wynnum Manly finished on top of the premiership table and played fourth placed South Brisbane led by

Australian captain Greg Chappell. After resuming at 2 for 309 Wynnum batted through the second day

to post 8 for 656.

The Courier Mail labelled the innings “the height of absurdity”. However, under the regulations

Wynnum needed only a draw to progress to the final where they then defeated Western Suburbs to win

their initial first grade premiership and the first of three consecutive wins. The win was part of eight

finals appearances under Captain coach John Bell from 1976-77. The innings is the instance where three

centuries have been scored. Of the top six batsmen, only Greg Ritchie, then a current Shield player,

failed to score 50. Peter Monaghan scored the first of his four semi final centuries.

At Boundary Street, Peter Monaghan helped himself to a hard hitting 151 in Wynnum's mammoth first innings 9(dec) 555.

Valleys in reply were 1/78 when the rain came. The four day final, to be played over the next two weekends, will be the third

Wynnum-Souths premiership decider in the past five seasons and Wynnum's fifth final appearance in six seasons.

Monaghan passed captain coach Wayne Broad to become Wynnum's leading run scorer and posted a personal best on the

batting paradise at Boundary St, and all on his 30th birthday. The beefy former State Colts representative belted 21 fours and

two sixes from 217 balls in 285 minutes to take his career aggregate to 4082 runs at 34.00. Broad's runs on Saturday boosted

his tally to 4002 at 32.54.

To add to Valleys' woes, Wynnum tailender Dave Russell collected an unbeaten 73 from 114 balls with eight fours and a six

to take his season average to 111. He has scored 222 runs for twice out. Russell and Monaghan put on 119 in 93 minutes

before Broad made a token declaration at tea. All that followed was some batting practice for Kepler Wessells (44no).

CLASSIC CHASES

South Brisbane v Wynnum Manly Fehlberg Park 24 November 2007.

Wayne Niven’s comment on the Wynnum chase of Souths 372 “as possibly the best win in First Grade I

can recall for a long time” prompted further investtigation. With a relatively small number of like events

that game ranks fifth in all time first grade winning chases in terms of the quantum of runs set as the

target.

As Nivo continues the story “After Nicho and Ryan put on 174 for the second wicket, wickets fell

regularly as we pushed on towards the total. Charlie showed increasing maturity to get 48 and then at

9/330, Nunz on strike, everyone bar the 11 players and myself had given us away. Nunz and Kempy put

on the last wicket stand of their lives with Kempy hitting not one, but two sixes off the second last over.

To put this second last over into perspective we needed 15 to win with two overs to go.

This is what happened:

Souths had everyone on the fence (including Buba and his Second Grade mates who had finished early,

together with his Fifth Grade mates who couldn't care about their own match) and Turich bowling good

heat with a ball only five overs old.

Two dot balls started the over as I sat next to Nicho and asked what he was thinking. “Not much” he said

as my phone rang constantly with people wanting scores.

Next ball - Nunz hits a single.

Next ball – Kempy plays and misses. Nicho looks at me, phone rings, nothing said.

Next ball full on leg stump disappears over fine leg fence -8 to win. Nicho looks at me, can we get there?

Smiles....phone rings for the 48th time, not answering anymore.

Next rock full on leg stick, same result 6 over fine leg. Nicho looks at me, smiles again.....2 to win. Over.

Final over to be bowled. Nunz on strike. Souths bring field up.

Nunz plays and misses...Nicho looks at me...nothing said. (no more smiling) Phone rings for 52nd time.

Next rock Nunz skews off outside of bat past point for 2. (Prowsy being Nunz’s runner runs like there’s

no tomorrow and comes back for the second) - what a win.

Nicho and I surge towards the ground with all players in full voice

Three more dots then Nunz hits a four. Over

Nunz and Kempy have just put on 40 to win. Couldn't hear phone ringing anymore as whole team

jubilant.”

1. The classic chase is against Norths where Norths were 1/398 at stumps on day 1 (8 February 1986) at

Boundary Street. Robbie Kerr was 218* which was a record Norths score and his opening stand of 238

with Steve Monty created a record partnership for any wicket. Norths declared at the overnight score

and Wynnum chased to finish at 9/404 with Dave Russell 41* and Bill Albury 1*. This was Bill’s last

season in first grade. Mark Tooley scored 100 and Mark Gaskell 118.

Bill Albury’s comment was “When you play for Wynnum everyone gets a bat.”

Record book hit for six by Kerr.

North's Rob Kerr took the record book by storm and the Wynnum Manly bowling attack by the throat with one of

the most brilliant batting displays in history of QCA fixtures yesterday at Boundary Street. His opening stand of 238

with Steve Monty broke the Norths club record for the highest partnership for any wicket, eclipsing the previous

202 stand. Kerr pushed his score to an unbeaten 218, the highest score by a Norths batman. The advent of Jim

Lindsay made matters worse. With Kerr leading the way, the 50 was posted in 31 minutes, the 100 in 52 minutes,

and, at stumps, they had taken Norths to 1-398, an unfinished 160 run partnership in the mind boggling space of

just 77 minutes. Sunday Mail 9 Feb 1986

At Boundary Street, Wynnum Manly pulled off a stunning first innings win over Norths, who understandably had declared at

their overnight total of 1-398.

However Mark Tooley (100) and Mark Gaskell (118) teamed for a second wicket stand of 179 and though Wynnum lost 4-33 in

the middle Dave Russell (41no) and Ian Kelly (33 off 39 balls) took them to 8-384. At stumps Wynnum were 9-404. Tooley took

his runs off 184 balls and Gaskell his off only 138. The win, in which Wynnum made 140 in the last session, should ensure

second place in the final four. Sunday Mail 16 Feb 1986

2. Wynnum chased Norths 6/393 at Boundary Street on 8 October 1994 to finish on 9/396. In an innings

similar to the Souths chase above, 13 seasons later, Jimmy Maher scored 112 and Clinton Perren 93.

Wynnum replied with Justin Potts 63, Kim Evetts 56, Scott Prestwidge 50, Russell Cross 50* (his highest

first grade score) and Justin Poole 22.

3. Sandgate Redcliffe declared at 7/380 with Trevor Barsby 221 at Boundary Street on 15 February 1987.

Wynnum replied with 7/391 with Tony McDowell scoring 132. There have been only three 200’s scored

against Wynnum with Glen Trimble scoring 230* out of 437 for Souths at Norman Gray in the previous

match on 7 February 1987. So in two instances of 200 out of the three, those performances have

resulted in a loss as Wynnum have chased and won.

4. Valley declared at 5/373 at Ashgrove on 25 October 1986 with Jeff Walker 121 and Barry Quinn 101*.

Wynnum chased that total finishing on 5/398. Mark Gaskell scored his highest first grade score 182* and

Wayne Broad 91. Gaskell scored three centuries in 1986-87 including another not out 127 against Valley

in March 1987 and in fact scored three in a row against Valley previously with 136 in the semi final in

March 1986.

5. In February 1996 University scored 7/371 (M.Robinson 133, A.Walduck 102) - day 1 rain stopped play

3.08 p.m. at 2/193. University declared on day 2 at 12.21 p.m. Wynnum then scored 5/373 off 74 overs

with Justin Poole 92, Troy Rafton 71, Scott Prestwidge 64, Kim Evetts 59*. Wynnum went on to defeat

University in the final of that 1995-96 season.
