The
Adastra Office Cricket Team after training at Mascot Oval 24/12/70.
From left: Barry Howe (Capt.), John Wilson, John McCarthy, Ron Abbot,
Robert Montgomery, Dennis Heusner, David Urquhart (Umpire), Bob Killingsworth
(Umpire) and Ken Snell. They were preparing for a match after being
challenged by an Aircrew/Hangar team when they hoped to be all at home
base the following month (24/1/71). This occurred, but what the office
team players were not aware of was that Hal McKinley's (Nav.) brother-in-law
Ian Davidson was turning up to play for aircrew/hangar team with the
resultant thrashing when Ian bowled most of them out in quick time.
This was played by the Georges River at Como Cricket Field with a Keg
brought along for necessary cooling; in retrospect, it really wasn't
cricket!
