Marcellin Old Collegians Cricket Club mourns the passing of Peter Ryan, who died last week at the age of 75 after a courageous battle with dementia.
Peter brought distinguished credentials to Marcellin when he joined the club in 1998, having represented Queensland in Sheffield Shield cricket during the 1971 season. A top-order right-handed batsman, Peter arrived at Marcellin towards the latter stages of his playing career and quickly became a respected figure both on and off the field.
In his 71 matches for MOCCC, Peter scored 1,783 runs at an impressive average of 31 and was a valued member of the clubโs 1998/99 A Grade Grand Final side. While his performances on the field were highly valued, Peter was equally respected for the knowledge, guidance and support he gave to younger players. A true gentleman, Peter was admired for his humility, kindness and love of cricket. He leaves behind many fond memories and lasting friendships within the Marcellin community.
Our sincere condolences go to Peterโs family and loved ones.
Peterโs funeral will be held on 12th June at St Kevinโs. Templestowe.
Rest in peace, Peter.
