The 90s - a new era for cricket in Cooroy, Part Two. By Karen Woods
Between 1950 and 1990, apart from reports of local school cricket, there is scant mention of cricket being played in Cooroy. Interschool cricket matches were being played and reported in the local papers, with one Cooroy player’s bowling prowess regularly highlighted — Charlie Clarke, whose impressive bowling figures included 9/11 in one match and a total of 44 wickets during the 1952 season.
The 1980s saw a boom in interest in Indoor Cricket after cricket legend Dennis Lillee and his mate Graham Monahan reinvented a version of the game. It became a very popular social activity with a strong community base in Cooroy and the surrounding areas. Social teams formed and played at the Cooroy Indoor Cricket Centre, located on the corner of Jarrah Street and Mary River Road. Interest in Indoor Cricket gradually declined during the 1990s and eventually folded.
