150 years of Stirling Cricket Club.

A Night to Remember....

The 150 th function was attended by around 100 past and present players and supporters
including a number who had travelled from interstate to attend. Life Member Mark Bevan performed the role of Master of Ceremonies with distinction when he started the night by outlining the significant things that were younger than the Stirling Cricket Club including test cricket and the SANFL. 
He also outlined the many family connections that have been a feature of the club with generations of players pulling on the whites for the Eagles over the years. Jack Pick (President) also spoke of the significance of the Club and the characteristics of it that had contributed to its longevity. He introduced Jack Read, the newly appointed 2024/25 Club Captain, who made a short speech with an eye to the future.

During the evening Life Members Steven McGregor and Peter Fryer spoke about the 1975-1999 and 2000-2024 eras. As part of these presentations a team from each of those eras was announced. The selection criteria were that the team was to be a functional team meaning that it needed to be balanced side capable of playing a game. To be eligible for selection players must have played at least three seasons for the club. The 1975-1999 team was selected based on the collective views of a group of eight Life Members whilst the 2000-2024 team was selected by a group of current senior players.
