The Primary Club is excited to stage our first Richie Benaud Trophy tournament at Bradman Oval, Bowral, on Sunday 19th April 2026. Pictures above show Daphne Benaud presenting the trophy to David Ince representing the winning NSW Fire & Rescue Team, aka the 'Firies'. And bottom right, Geoff with Lindsay and John Benaud holding the trophy.
Special thanks to Last Man Stands ("LMS") for excellent umpiring and live online scoring services, to the 6 PCA volunteers who worked prior to and throughout the event, and to NOOT - Natural Nootropic Cocktails — the buzz, the flavour, the focus. All the best bits of drinking, none of the blur!
