Past of Ex-Servicemen's Cricket Club


The Shoalhaven Ex-Servicemen’s cricket club was created by Ted Regan who previously played for Nowra, along with the Shoalhaven Ex-Servicemen’s club and a few locals who were keen to play some cricket. Nowra were the dominant team having three back to back premierships and with having two teams in each grade Ted Regan decided to create a new cricket club. In 1960 they had made their own club. They were lucky enough to have had the Shoalhaven Ex-Servicemen’s club sponsor them to form the Shoalhaven Ex-Servicemen’s Cricket Club.

There are no important developments within the club at this present time but they are striving to be a better cricket club. The biggest development they have made is establishing their cricket club which is now beneficial to all the players and the community. The club has gotten better over the past years and is now a raging cricket club with some really amazing cricket players going through the club.

There are a lot of important people within the club. One of the most important people in the club was the creator Ted Regan who was a really great cricket player and gave everyone such a lucky opportunity by making the ex-servicemen’s cricket club. There are life members who have helped make the cricket club what it is today. Everyone who is a part of the club now is very grateful for everybody’s contribution to the club over the years and made the club such a loving caring place to play cricket. Over the years there have been many friendships formed and the support of the local community have been so appreciated by the players as without the fundraising by the community and the money by Ex-Serviceman’s club there may not be a club that many love today.
Past and present players really do benefit from this club. The players and the community both have really made the cricket club a really nice and happy place to be. The players are encouraging and supportive of each other which all push each other to be better cricket players. In the past they have all been the same and all made each other strive for better things with in the club. The things that everyone has done in the past we as players are so grateful for. We are also lucky to have such a great club.
