Thank you to everyone who came down and joined us for our first event of the season, our inaugural "Triple F" come and meet us night down at the home of cricket, Jack Mann oval.

Food - (cheeseburger tacos) went off and also went down a treat thanks to Joel and Jakob, Bucky's endless stream of fries kept kids of all ages full as well.

Frothies - Were enjoyed by all, well into the night. Thanks to those that helped manage the hydration station.

Footy - Well it was a blowout for Hawks fans among us but a delight for the Lion lovers out there but it also kept a few of our non chatters entertained.

Friends, our bonus F. Current, old and new friends all got to know each other throughout the night and find out more about who we are, what we stand for and importantly, where we're heading.

A genuinely great result and a positive sign for the future.

Tony Mann Turned A Nightwatchman Role Into Cricket History
His Brilliant Century Helped Australia Pull Off A Famous Chase 🇦🇺

During the second Test against India at the WACA in 1977-78, Australian leg-spinner Tony Mann produced one of the most remarkable innings ever played by a nightwatchman.

Australia were chasing a daunting target of 339 on a wearing pitch against India’s world-class spin attack. Mann was sent in late on day four simply to protect the specialist batters, but what followed became part of Test cricket folklore.

Showing fearless intent and superb footwork against Bishan Bedi and Bhagwat Chandrasekhar, Mann attacked the spinners with confidence and composure. He scored a magnificent 105 from 165 balls, including 10 boundaries, becoming only the second nightwatchman in Test history to score a Test century.

His extraordinary innings completely changed the course of the match and helped Australia complete the difficult chase with two wickets in hand.

Tony Mann walked in as a nightwatchman — and walked out with one of the most iconic innings in Australian Test history. 💛

A piece of our club history from the 1890's has very generously been handed in to us this morning by Lani and Charlie of Darkan (ex Bellevue)

It was found back in the 1940's/50's in Bellevue just north of the old Bellevue Railway station by Margaret Maxwell (Lani's mother).

According to some of the great research already done by Lani we understand that E (Emmanuel?) J Dow also
1901 - Represented Bellevue vs Belvedere
1905 - Best All Round Player - Central CC
1907 - Cricket, Leading Player - Swan Districts

According to the club minutes of 22/8/1898 similar medals were physically presented to C O Ferguson, H E Kent and J V Ferguson

This E J Dow medal, according to the same minutes, was due to be to be sent to him and now if it is possible we would love to connect, learn more and return it to the rightful owners.

Any further information to assist us in our search and to allow us to reconnect the medal with the family would be greatly appreciated.

Please reach out in the first instance via our

Thank you to Lani and Charles, and to all those who reach out to help in this quest.
