💙 Vale John Hansen 💙
It is with great sadness that South Croydon Cricket Club acknowledges the passing of our dear friend, John Hansen.

As an RDCA Umpire, John was a familiar and respected figure around local cricket. But to our club, he became so much more than that.

After umpiring one of our Women’s 1st XI matches, John quickly became one of the team’s biggest supporters. He could often be found watching from the boundary, cheering the girls on, sharing a laugh, offering encouragement and making everyone around him feel valued.

John was always armed with a cuddle, a warm smile and kind words. He had a wonderful sense of humour, loved a joke and had an incredible ability to make people feel calm, happy and loved. His gentle nature and genuine care for others left a lasting impression on all who had the privilege of knowing him.

John had been battling illness for quite some time, but true to his character, he continued to face each day with positivity, kindness and a smile that could brighten anyone’s day.

The cricket community has lost a truly special person and our club has lost a treasured friend. John’s presence around South Croydon Cricket Club will be deeply missed, but the memories, laughter and kindness he shared with us will remain forever.

On behalf of everyone at South Croydon Cricket Club, we extend our sincerest condolences to John’s family and friends during this incredibly difficult time. Our thoughts are with you all.

A Celebration of John’s Life will be held at the Dorset Hotel on 11 June at 1:00pm. Family, friends and members of the cricket community are welcome to attend. Finger food, tea and coffee will be provided, with drinks available for purchase from the bar.

Rest peacefully John.

You will always be remembered, always be missed and always be part of our South Croydon Cricket Club family. 💙

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR CLUB MEMBERS – Anthony “Willow” Willis

Known around the club as Willow, Ben’s Dad, The Great Man and apparently the BEST ‘Light Sales Rep’ in Australia, Anthony Willis is one of those people every club needs.

Willow is the type of bloke who would help anyone. A fiercely loyal friend, ultra-competitive, and very vocal on a Saturday arvo — especially after a couple of cold ones. He loves a beer, loves the club and loves a laugh.

If you hear a loud laugh echoing around the rooms, chances are Willow is nearby. Always smiling, always positive and always bringing great energy to everyone around him.

One of the funniest Willow moments came during a VETS game when he induced a perfect edge from the batter… only for the ball to somehow go straight through both Roger Copeland behind the stumps and Wrighty at first slip. The two fielders simply looked at each other while Willow stood there in disbelief. If you know Willow, you can probably picture the reaction perfectly! 😂

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR CLUB MEMBERS
🔵ROGER COPELAND aka The Original ‘Frosty’ ⚪️
Behind every great Club is someone quietly working away in the background — and for South Croydon Cricket Club, that person has long been Roger Copeland.

Roger has been instrumental in preserving and building the history of our Club, creating and maintaining the incredible records and statistics featured on the SCCC website. Even after moving hours away many years ago, his dedication to the Doggies has never wavered, with Roger still updating Club stats to this very day.

He is also the mastermind behind the Annual Presentation Night Programs that proudly sit on the tables each season, helping celebrate the achievements and memories of our Club year after year.

When MyCricket was first introduced, Roger played a major role on the RDCA Sub-Committee and quickly became the “go to” person for Clubs across the competition whenever problems arose. His knowledge, patience and willingness to help others made him an invaluable figure throughout the league.

A soft-natured, soft-spoken and genuinely kind gentleman, Roger’s contribution to South Croydon Cricket Club stretches far beyond numbers and statistics. His dedication, service and passion for the Club are exactly why he is such a deserving recipient of both the Judy McCallum Service Award and the Lindy Dench Best Club Person Award.

Quite simply, people like Roger are the heartbeat of community sport 🐶

⚪️ RE-COMMITTED 🔵
South Croydon Cricket Club is excited to announce that Brad Stewart has re-committed for season 2026/27 🐶

Now with 172 senior matches to his name and over 3300 runs in the blue and white, Brad’s ability as a top-order batsman has been on display for many years. His highest score of 80 in T20 cricket showed exactly how damaging he can be when he gets going.

But Brad’s value goes far beyond just his batting. Whether it’s stepping behind the stumps with the gloves, taking crucial catches in the field or delivering key overs through the middle and late stages of an innings, he continues to contribute in every area of the game. With 104 catches and 93 wickets for the club, his versatility and reliability make him a valuable player to have in the side.

A dual 1st XI Club Champion and dual Ross Kennedy Medal winner, Brad’s experience and ability continue to play an important role for the Doggies.

We look forward to seeing Brad back out there in season 2026/27 💪

⚪️ RE-COMMITTED 🔵
South Croydon Cricket Club is excited to announce that Anmol Singh is back for another season in the blue and white! 🐶

Better known around the club as “Shark” 🦈 — and for very good reason.

His fielding ability is elite. Sharp, fast and unbelievably reliable, Shark attacks every ball like it’s his last and has built a reputation as one of the safest and most damaging fielders in the side.

A quiet character and a man of few words, Anmol lets his cricket do the talking.

Over the past two seasons, he has proven himself as a seriously strong middle-order batsman, consistently producing high scores and stepping up when the team needs him most. If the game needs a boost or momentum needs to swing, Shark is the type of player you trust to walk out and make things happen.

And if it’s square of the wicket… watch out 👀 Whether it’s a cracking cut shot or a powerful pull shot, that’s where Anmol is at his absolute best.

What stands out most about Shark is the effort he brings every single week. He gives 100% at all times, cares deeply about his performances and sets incredibly high standards for himself. Sometimes he can be his own harshest critic — which only shows how much pride he takes in representing the Doggies.

Massive to have Shark locked in again for season 2026/27 💪
