RD Meyer coming off Strathalbyn Oval, after a good innings. We
believe this is the match where Don Bradman visited Strathalbyn with some SACA players to
play against a combined association side. He made a few runs and "caught" a ball
thrown back from the boundary on his bat! We assume this photo to be about 1936 - 1942. SACA officials are looking into the details of the visit..

Young Randell Pitt, seen here in 1970, made many runs as a
junior for Ashbourne and made many many runs in the Senior teams as well. If you explore the site you will discover his runs, averages, aggregates and club and association awards for his performances. He also contributed to success at other clubs after leaving Ashbourne. |

another shot to the leg side whilst compiling an innings. Watched by Wicket-keeper Paul
