DCN&S extends its warmest wishes to Nightcliff Tigers Cricket Club's Director of Cricket, Michael Hancock, on his 75th birthday.

Having first coached the Tigers in 2022 at the age of 72, Michael brought immediate success—particularly in white ball cricket—guiding the club through back-to-back strong seasons. Now, in 2025, he returns not only as Director of Cricket but as a mentor to Harry Martin, who has stepped into the role of club coach.

While some may assume that a 75-year-old is past their prime, Michael continues to prove otherwise. He bucks the trend with his unmatched understanding of club culture, team building, and—above all—his belief in the individual.

We wish Michael all the very best on this milestone birthday. See you on Mitchell Street sometime soon!

A month until the season kicks off and a few positives with the draw and rule changes out already, though question marks around some of the thought processes behind it, like the slow over rate stuff, particularly when at least A grade can start an hour or two hours earlier, basically driving the impact of quicks out the game with this. The return of bonus points when the one day and two day ladders have come back together is also not great. If they want teams to play on, make the second innings match points worth it.

Anything you think that is note worthy?

It is with immense sadness and a hole in our hearts that we share the passing of Peter Lei, a long-standing and cherished member of The Darwin Cricket Club.

For over 20 years, Pete was more than just a player—he was a teammate, a mentor, and friend to many.

His love for the game was undeniable. Always smiling, always cheeky, and always up for a chat, he had a way of making everyone feel better.

Pete: you will always be part of the Eagles family. Your legacy lives on in the friendships you built, the stories we’ll continue to tell, and the spirit of The Nest you helped shape.

Our thoughts are with Verna, Madison, Sophie, Charlotte, and all those who loved him.

Fly High, Pete—forever an Eagle❤️🦅
