Episode 36 - A History of Harvey Cricket Part 1

The Harvey Cricket Club is typical of so many Cricket Clubs across regional WA and in fact arguably, regional Australia as a whole. However, also like so many other Country Cricket Clubs, the unique thing about this Club, is it has its own history. It is a history that can be traced across 3 different centuries, full of pioneers, firsts, golden periods, significant challenges and premierships. From splinters in the pitch to tyre tracks on the track to countless volunteer stories and legendary performances , the story of Cricket in Harvey is one that has at times divided a community, but mostly has been the thing that has united a town. In this episode 1 of 2 episodes, we hear of the early years of Harvey Cricket from the nineteenth century through to the dawning of a new millennia and along the way, hear many of the voices who witnessed how it all happened and why it shaped much of their lives. This could be your Club, this could be someone else's Club, but for me, Rob Marshall ... this has been my Club for most of my life and the telling of it's story and history has been 3 decades in the making and I can't wait to tell you all about it. I hope you will have a listen and more than that, I hope you will enjoy. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
