Having played first class cricket with 3 states, Victoria, South Australia and Queensland I got to play with some fantastic District/Grade crickets from 1968 through to 1992.
In Melbourne I played with Northcote, St Kilda, Essendon and Richmond in 1992. In Adelaide I played with Prospect and in Brisbane, Wynnum-Manly and Wests.
The players I have chosen in my best District/Grade team are from these teams and it is important to recognise I can’t fit all the very fine players I played with in to 11 places.
I have included a 12th man based on the criteria of providing outstanding dressing room support and team harmony as well as being a very good player.
My team in batting order:
1. Bill Lawry – Northcote (Captain)
2. Richie Robinson - Carlton and Northcote
3. Brendan McArdle – Northcote
4. Simon O'Donnell – Essendon
5. Andrew Wildsmith – Northcote
6. Peter Cox - Nth Melbourne
7. Shaun Graf - St.Kilda
8. Ray Phillips - Wests and Wicket Keeper
9. Frank Brew - Northcote
10.Gary Living. – Northcote
11.Rodney Hogg - Northcote and Prospect
12th man - David Johnstone. St.Kilda
Coach - Daryl Foster - Northcote and Essendon
Manager - Jack Berrigan - Northcote
Scorer - Tony Monkton - Northcote
