The South Road Cricket Club is deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Mike “Yogi” Perry.

Yogi was a much-loved member of our club and a great teammate and mate to many. A determined opening batsman and a true clubman, he represented South Road with pride and always gave everything for his teammates.

Those who had the privilege of knowing Yogi will remember him most for his big personality, his loyalty, his sense of humour and the smile and laugh he brought to the club. He was the sort of person who made a cricket club more than just a place to play cricket.

Our thoughts are with Yogi’s family, friends and all of his former teammates during this difficult time.

He will be greatly missed and always remembered as part of the South Road Cricket Club family.

Rest easy, Yogi. 💚💛

We are inducting 2 new life members, Peter Matheson and Adrian Woolman.

Both Peter and Adrian joined the club around 2010–2011 and have been outstanding contributors ever since. Their commitment, performances, and passion for the club over the years have more than earned them this recognition.

Adrian Woolman has been a cornerstone of the side, captaining the team to multiple grand final appearances. With the bat, Adrian recorded a high score of 133, averaging 24.27 across 123 matches (107 innings), including 11 half-centuries and 2 centuries. Beyond the numbers, his leadership and dedication have left a lasting mark on the club.

Peter Matheson’s contributions are just as remarkable. Across 168 matches, Pete has taken 225 wickets at an average of 17.84, with best figures of 7/14. His consistency is highlighted by 170 maiden overs, 4 five-wicket hauls, and a 10-wicket match, alongside an impressive economy rate of 3.55. A proven match-winner and a key figure on and off the field, Pete has played a huge role in the club’s success over many seasons.

We thank both Peter and Adrian for their incredible service and congratulate them on becoming Life Members — a truly well-deserved honour.

Yes, the socials went quiet. No, the club didn’t fold.
Admin was on holidays, feet in the sand, drink in hand, absolutely nowhere near a keyboard 🏖️🍹
Consider it an extended drinks break.

Now admin’s back, and for full transparency… this post has been drafted by ChatGPT, because even on holidays the banter budget was running low 🏏

On to the cricket:

A Grade have gone 3 wins from the last 5 and sit 3rd.
AK has been filling the book with 83 and 55, while Sunil chimed in with a classy 83 of his own.

B Grade are right in the mix too, going 2 wins, 2 losses (plus a bye).
Special mention to Pete Matheson (refer photo), who rolled back the years with his highest score for the club — a stylish 58. Bat raised, ego boosted, WhatsApp notifications pinging 📈😏

Plenty of Roadies chiming in with wickets too but 3 fa's don't create headlines.

Big couple of weeks coming up as both teams look to cement top-4 spots…
