Old Ignatians Cricket Club

The late Terry Shanahan & Peter McCarthy were at a party just prior to the commencement of the 1966-67 season. Terry & Peter were talking about Old Scholars and cricket; it was suggested that we try to arrange a cricket team. Peter, who knew the Chairman of ATCA, rang him (Don Bartlett) inquiring re the possibility of entering a cricket team in Adelaide Turf. As luck would have it, the hardwicket grade (A8) had a vacancy.

We had no hard wicket; it did not bother the Turf Association that we would be playing on turf.
