An update from Club Vice Captain & Secretary, Oscar Alcock (OKG14)

The 2025/26 Season has started in fine fashion for the Old Knoxonians' Cricket Club (OKCC). Under the new leadership of Captain Dan Hardyman (OKG20), the Club has kicked the season off with four great wins from as many matches. Moreover, we have had a big injection of younger/more recent school leavers, which has been very pleasing to see. 

Prior to these competitions fixtures (where the Club competes for the Jack Pace Shield in the City & Suburban Competition), a few Club members were also involved in an OKGA exhibition fixture against the School 1st XI at Curagul on Saturday 20 September. The School came out on top in a close encounter, deserving winners of the inaugural Bangs Kelynack Cup (named in honour of Ian Bangs (OKG72) and Michael Kelynack (OKG85). 

This season, the Club has a fixtures list brimming with home games at Gillespie Field (surely a record number). We are forever grateful to the School for their support in facilitating this special connection to the grounds. The Club last won the Jack Pace Shield in 2020/21, and we hope to return to the Grand Final stage for the first time since the 2022/23 season.
