FOREWORD
by Shane Walker
The birth of the Burnie Yeoman Cricket Club 10 years ago brought with it
many years of tradition from both the Yeoman and Burnie Cricket Clubs.
This is a brief history of all those who have come before us, the sacrifices they
made just to play the game and the transformation of cricket through the
decades.
In the following article, by Judy Stewart, you will get an understanding of how
both the Yeoman and Burnie Clubs developed from the middle 1800's
through to the amalgamation of both clubs in 1989. Also some of the
names and characters that made our club what it is today.
At this time I would like to acknowledge the efforts of Judy who has spent
many hours researching and writing her story. It is my belief that so many
before us were being forgotten, so many records being lost that in this book
we have attempted to remember the sacrifices of others and the
outstanding achievements of teams and individuals.
The name Burnie Yeoman is synonymous with cricket in Tasmania. Let us
work together, both young and old, to keep it that way.
INTRODUCTION
by Judy Stewart
This is not a record of averages but a story of cricket in the nineteenth
century, the trials and tribulations which were experienced in order to play the
game. The dream of A.W. Tattersall in 1922 was finally realised although
many years later and with much water having passed under many bridges.
Many people have asked the question "When did cricket begin in Burnie?" my
answer to this is "On the first available cleared piece of land, with enough
people to play the game." Another question - "Where and what is Yeomen?",
this I do know.
The Yeomen Club's birthplace was at Cam River (later Elliott) and the first
meeting
was held at the home of James Gale in 1895 where the Reverend W.
Harrison chaired
the meeting and suggested the name "Free Yeomen" after a club he had
captained on
the Isle of Wight. The Free Yeomen's ground was Gale's paddock situated
near the
now Elliott Hall (and most probably the only flat cleared paddock suitable at
the time
in the district). At a second meeting held at the home of James Harnett,
Richard Franks
was elected Captain with Phil Pearce as Vice Captain.
The birth of cricket in Burnie is harder to establish, however extracts from
James Harnett's diary dated 10th January 1864 mentions - "The Bay and
Page |2
Copy: The Tradition Lives On
Cape (Table Cape) cricketer's are indignant at the shabby manner and dinner
they were treated to by those of Circular Head by whom they were defeated".
Also, 15th February 1864 - "Went to the Cam, most of the men were at Emu
Bay where there was a big cricket match on between Emu Bay and Table
Cape". In the late 1890's it was reported that cricket was being played at
South Burnie (now South Burnie Bowls Club) and sometime in the early
1900's West Park was carved out of a tea tree swamp. The Secretary of
Burnie cricket in 1888 was A.H. Edger who played in the game at Latrobe
where twenty two North-West Coast cricketers took on a visiting English
Eleven.
Travel in these days was by horse or if there were not enough horses for a
team, ride and tie method was used (The people with horses would ride a
certain distance, tie the horses to a tree, walk on leaving the horses for the
walker's behind). Another method available at the time was by Shank's Pony
(by foot).
George Gale of Free Yeomen (father of Jack, L. (Cap), G. (Ned), Robert,
Jim and grandfather of Don - all of whom played with Yeomen) was known
to have walked from Elliott across country to Penguin for a game of cricket.
Another such story was told to me by the late Keith Smith (Abbotsham) whose
father Peter when a boy walked from Abbotsham to the Don made a duck then walked home. On January 1 st 1874 when a combined team from
Leven, Mersey, Forth and Don left Ulverstone on the steamer "Pioneer" in
the early hours, reached Stanley about 8 a.m., played cricket until 7 p.m.,
dined then danced until sunrise and headed off at 6 a.m. for home. There
were many of these inter-association matches along the coast. Irishtown in
the 1890's was a crack team down at Circular Head. They had 33 successive
wins and were
determined to add to these. Leaving Irishtown at day break in a four in hand,
they arrived at Upper Cam (Elliott) at 11 a.m.. They claimed the game by not
exactly fair means I'm afraid.!! They continued along the coast defeating Emu
Bay, Penguin and Table Cape arriving home with their winning record
intact, although the game at Penguin was somewhat dubious also!! SHAME
ON THEM.
By 1896 County Cricket Associations were formed i.e. Roland, East Devon
(Latrobe and Devonport), West Devon ( Ulverstone Districts and sometimes
Penguin), East Wellington (Burnie, Wynyard and sometimes Penguin)and
West Wellington (Circular Head) forming a year later.
Before the East Wellington Association was formed Wynyard had been the
premier side, however Cam won the premiership in the first year of the
Association forming. Meetings were held at Kings Temperance Hotel at the
Cam (Somerset). Free Yeomen was admitted to the East Wellington
Association on a full time basis in 1897-98. Participating teams at this stage
were Penguin, Burnie, Romaine, Cam, Free Yeomen and Wynyard. Burnie
were runners up with W. Evans (Big Bill) as usual winning Burnie's batting
average with 13.8 and B. Stuart the bowling with 4. 7. The President of
Burnie was C.H. Hall (M.H.A.), and the Captain was E. Clarke. Records
show 1896-97, W. Evans 107 not out v. Wynyard and 94 for the East
Wellington Association at Forth.
There were only four teams playing in 1898/99 - Burnie, Cam, Free
Yeomen and Wynyard. After the first round it was reported that the Cowell
Brothers of the tough little "Canutes" knocked the stuffing out of opponents
especially on their home pitch, which was the worst in the Association (Cam
played on the point at Camdale - where the Freezer's were). Wynyard had
laid a cement wicket - a first for the coast - and Burnie eventually went on
Page |3
Copy: The Tradition Lives On
and won their first premiership. W. Evans again won the batting averages for
Burnie with 24.81 and also the bowling with 6.14.. Bert Cowell for Cam
scored a hat trick against Free Yeomen. The Cowell family took 19 wickets two were playing for Cam and one for Free Yeomen.
Some names playing at this stage:- Burnie - E. Clarke, W. Evans, A. Chatwin, E.
Mason, B. Stuart, R.W. & A.E. Harrison, R. Watson, W. Atkinson. Free
Yeomen - H.R. & J. Franks, R. Harrison, H. Cowell, J. Smedley, H. & G. Gale
and P. Pearce. Bert Cowell, Alf Barfoot and J. Webb joined Free Yeomen from
Cam.
It must be remembered at this time cricket was played under very primitive
conditions. There were no cement wickets and many were so rough that
even the introduction of coir matting did not exactly help matters. On Parson's
paddock on the Ironcliffe Road (and most probably on others as well) there
were several standing trees on the ground (not too sure what happened when
the ball hit these!). In good weather, wickets were dust heaps and quagmires
in bad.
Behaviour on the field was not always "Cricket". The Roland boys were in
trouble for swearing, the "Camites" were smoking on the field and at Burnie
South !! In a Penguin v Burnie game, the Burnie wicket keeper appealed for a
stumping, the decision was "NOT OUT", the wicket keeper threw his hat on
the ground and stamped on it and blurted "The devil" as he threw down his
spectacles and stamped on them also. He left the ground to return later with
another pair.
A successful touring North West Coast team (won 6 lost 3 and drew 1)
toured the North playing at Dunorlan, Deloraine, Westbury, Lefroy and
Beaconsfield . The Northern Tasmanian Junior Association - Perth, St.
Leonards and Cressy and the Northern Tasmanian Seniors considered it in
poor dignity to deal with country teams !! W. Evans represented Burnie with
Burley Stuart unavailable. R. Franks and Bert Cowell (the baby of the team
who was killed soon after in the Boer War) represented Free Yeomen. For
most it was their first introduction to cement wickets and this introduction led
to cement wickets being laid along the Coast - Wynyard being the first.
The turn of the century did nothing for Free Yeomen as they still weren't a
great threat. Emu Bay was added to the Association and became the team
which new arrivals to Burnie joined. Every new person who arrived in Burnie
was asked "Do you play cricket?" however it was a different matter up the Cam
where farmers would advertise for farm hands with "cricketers not wanted".
Cricket was very popular and families used cricket as a family outing and it
was even a rival to football in numbers attending and as reported there were
as many teams as blackberries popping up everywhere, i.e. country areas
and junior teams.
The standard of cricket in Burnie was to get a boost with the arrival of
Lieutenant Colonel Les Mullen D.S.O., A.W. & W.H. Tattersall, Dr. C.H.
Martin (who was noted for his love of cream puffs) A.W. North and C.H.
Westbrook. Lt. Col. Mullen played for Emu Bay for at least 13 years and in
one week scored over 500 runs including 120 in an inter-association match
and over 240 in another. By 1925 Les Mullen was in Hobart as Chairman of
the Tasmanian Cricket Council.
On 10th November, 1907 a North West side played North at Launceston
and the following February in a return match at Latrobe. A.W. North , A.W.
Tattersall, L. Mullen and C. Westbrook represented Emu Bay. R. Anderson
from Latrobe also played, Anderson was noted for his "Twisters" and "Curly
ones". Fifty years later his grandson Dale was representing the Coast for
Page |4

Burnie.
The 1914 - 18 War saw many cricketers away fighting for King and Country.
The Cam Road (Elliott district) had one of the highest enlistment percentages of
any country area in Australia. After the hostilities Colonel G.J. Bell M.H.R.
(sons played for Yeomen) handed over to the people of Elliott the War trophy
which had been allotted to them by the Commonwealth, however this was
unfortunately lost in the fire of the old Elliott Hall in 1957.
During 1914 the local school at Elliott played teams from Wynyard to East
Devonport without losing a match. A number of these lads were members of
Yeomen's success story a few years down the track.. Burnie was still "Top
Dog" for a few years after the War, however Yeomen (the "Free" had now
been dropped) was on the move and in the 1922/23 season Yeomen won its
first premiership and took on the strong Oscar McCalFs Mersey side and
much to everyone's surprise won. In this match Mick Bugg threw the
stumps down on seven occasions during Mersey's innings.
Cricket at this stage was going nowhere. On September 30th, 1922 A. W.
Tattersall (secretary of East Wellington Association ) wrote to the West
Devon Association suggesting a Coastal competition , this was turned
down although the West Devon Association did agree that some matches
on municipal lines could be arranged. At a meeting in October 1923 at
Sheffield it was mentioned that Messrs. H. Jones & Co. of Hobart had
donated a Shield for competition amongst the North Western Association. The
Roland Association had been requested to draw up rules.
The East Wellington Association had by this stage folded with Yeomen
joining the Table Cape Association , however two years later it was reformed.
The IXL Shield (1923) was on a challenge basis with Deloraine, East Devon,
Roland, West Devon, Emu Bay and Table Cape competing. Circular Head
was admitted the next year. With this competition off and running the standard
of cricket was hopefully to improve (with some teams only playing one game in
a season - hard to believe !!) the need for a controlling body was evident as in
the first year of the IXL Shield a few problems emerged.
The Chairman of the Emu Bay Cricket Association (Mr. A.W. Tattersall) was
asked to take the initial steps towards forming a Coastal Council which was
duly formed at Ulverstone on January 23rd 1924. H.A. Nicholl was elected
President with J. Bahen as Secretary. J. Lyons was named Patron. Selection
Committee - A.W. Pickett, P.P. Solomon, W. Evans and H.A. Nicholls. The
management of the IXL Shield was taken over by the Council. A few years on
F.B. Edwards became Secretary thus beginning his long involvement with the
administration of cricket on the Coast.
The IXL Shield was retained by Table Cape in the late twenties and this initial
shield was also destroyed in the fire at the Elliott Hall. The name "Yeoman"
had replaced the old "Yeomen" mainly because reporters of the day kept
referring to the fact that teams were going to "Yeomanland" to play.
Yeoman members of the Table Cape side in 1924 included:- L.P. Armstrong,
M. Bugg, L. Shepperd, L. & J. Gale, W. Chatwin, K. Davis, J. Palliser, A. Horton
from Wynyard (who played cricket with Yeoman before the war) was Yeoman's
first state representative, R. Burke and R. Anketel - also from Wynyard. Emu
Bay included A.W. & W.H. Tattersall, N. Brown, E. Tracey, N. Lay, Dr. C.H.
Martin, J. Cross, H. Raymond, T.O. Jones, T. Rockliff & K. Westbrook.
In a report after a combined Coastal side v Launceston (J. Bahen Ulverstone
took 8-76) it was mentioned that the Coast was beaten by the change from
matting (or cement) to a fast turf wicket. A conference was held between the
Page |5
Copy: The Tradition Lives On
two associations with the Northern delegate emphasising the need for turf
wickets on the Coast if these contests were to be continued and prove
successful.
1925 saw the reformation of the East Wellington Association, and also a turf
wicket at West Park (Relbia soil was purchased). Only 2 matches were played
on it for the first season. The first game was played between Wynyard and
Burnie. A.W. Tattersall, E. Tracey and J. Cross all scored over half centuries
on the first day of play with A. Horton from Wynyard scoring 85 on the
second day. This same year saw Yeoman move to a paddock 2 km above
the hall where a concrete pitch was laid with Kippax matting used instead of
coir matting.
It was around this time that Club caps were purchased for the first time by
Yeoman (dark and sky blue).
By 1931 all areas were urged to establish turf wickets. Yeoman by now was
firmly entrenched in the newly formed Burnie League and apart from Yeoman,
Emu Bay and City a number of teams drifted in and out of the League.
Some of these included, Footballers, Elliott, Mooreville Road, Colts and Upper
Burnie with other teams making up lower divisions. The 1931 Emu Bay team
included the next generation of Tattersalls (Harold & Keith), Panitzki, Tracey, A.
Cross, Boxhall, Pegus and King.
With the 1939/45 War once more many of our youth were called upon to
serve King and Country and it is fair to say that any thoughts of Coastal cricket
were put on hold. At the Annual meeting of the Burnie Cricket League in
October 1939 (President A.W. Tattersall) it was mentioned that both APPM
and Ridgley had been admitted for the previous season. The ladder for the
end of this 38/39 season reads - APPM 48, Yeoman 41, Post & Telegraph
40, Colts 26, City 21, Emu Bay 15, Ridgley 14 and Cooee 12.
The arrival of APPM. in Burnie not only enhanced its wealth but benefited the
cricket scene also. The first season for APPM. saw not only a premiership but
the appearance of a top batsman in Ron Marsh. During this season he
scored 3 centuries, 252 in one innings, which broke a 30 year old record
(probably that of Lt. Col. Mullins) and scored 742 runs for the season. He
delighted many a cricket lover and frustrated many a bowler whilst playing for
APPM. Centuries were also scored by R. Batt (2) , D. Clark, H. Filleul, J.
Shephard, R. Woodhouse, D. Jackson, R. Stokes, K. Bird & R. Saunders.
H. Filleul also took 71 wickets for the season.
Two teams in the N.W.T.C.A. Jack Austin of the APPM side agreed to
enter the competition (supporting their maroon and gold) as South Burnie with
players from the Burnie Municipality. Yeoman was the problem as players
were from both Wynyard and Burnie Municipalities. Finally, it was agreed to
include Yeoman (which added blue to their red and black colours).
The N.W.T.C.A. was formed in September 1951 with six teams
participating (Devonport, Latrobe, Penguin, South Burnie, Ulverstone and
Yeoman). The matches were of 2 days duration with hours of play from 1 p.m.
to 6 p.m.. The season commenced on October 20th , 1951. The selected
players taking part were as follows:
SOUTH BURNIE: B. & T. Quirk, J. Austin, R. Batt, C. Howard, D.
Anderson, J. Anderson, I. Clay, R. Rogers, G. Hudson, T. Watson. UMPIRE
: H. Stanley. Other players for this season were A. Bourn, L. Templar, L.
Stevens, G. Shipp & D. Eltham.
Page |6
Copy: The Tradition Lives On
YEOMAN: W. Summers, G. Gale, J. Harding, J.J. Jarvis, K. Bloomfield, M.
& A. Shephard, L. Neal, J. Ritchie, J. Ewington, J. Jones. UMPIRE: N.T.
King. Players also for this season were W. Dynan, R. Gregory, R. Peterson, R.
Pinkerton, P. Webberley.
Teams on top of the ladder were final winners until 1955/56.
1957/58 first year of seconds competition.
1960/61 two semi finals to be played.
1962 South Burnie became the Burnie District Cricket Club with black and
gold as
their colours. A gold emu was included on their Black and Yellow cap. A "C
grade"
competition was introduced this year - however, it lasted for only two years.
At one stage around this time South Burnie ground also had a turf wicket
however it was short lived.
Yeoman certainly was a force in the Burnie League and remained so right
through until the formation of the N.W.T.C.A. featuring in almost all finals.
Jack Gale was the star batsman in the thirties. Both Jack and Lou Shepherd
were members of the inaugural IXL Shield (1923/24) winning Table Cape
side and were still playing into the late 1940's, Jack even into the 1950's.
The Tattersall Shield was still based on the IXL Shield with associations
along the coast doing battle. The premier Burnie League side of 47/48
included A. & M. Shephard, C. Howard, R. Williams, E. Heathcote, B. & T.
Quirk, J. Austin, R. Kerr, W. Summers and I. Clay. Ivor Clay came from
Victoria initially to play football with APPM, he represented both the Coast
and State in cricket as an opening bowler. At one stage the Coastal Bowling
Award was named in his honour.
Although the North West Coast was not recognised as a senior body, players
from here played against North and South, thus enabling them to be "Seen"
and to enable State Representation from this area. To enable NWTCA
members to try out for state selection, firstly they had to make an NWTCA team
to play against North. From this encounter a combined NWTCA - NTCA
team was chosen to play South. Later this became a triangular series
played over the Christmas - New Year period.
When Eric Morse moved back to the Coast in 1949 he saw that cricket was
stagnating and with the help of F. B. Edwards, Reg Pinkard and Laurie
Daglish wheels were put in motion to form an NWTCA competition on the
same municipal basis as the North West Football Union. Both Yeoman and
APPM were considered to be the top two teams in the Burnie League and
still smarting from their exclusion of the NWFU much weight (especially
from Clem Wragg of Yeoman -20 stone plus - supported by Jack Leary delegate of the Burnie League) was used for the inclusion of these two
teams in the NWTCA.
Yeoman had to fight long and hard to be included and remain in the NWTCA.
They shared West Park with South Burnie (later Burnie). At the end of 61/62
season they were forced to move as the second elevens were to play on turf
also, and with the help of the Wynyard Council a turf wicket was laid at the
Elliott ground. By 1966 Yeoman was on the move again as the Elliott wicket
Page |7
Copy: The Tradition Lives On
was not considered up to scratch although at least two centuries (B. Stewart
& R. Stokes) had been scored there. The opposition referred to the wicket as
Bloomfield's Ridge.
Langley Park, Somerset was the next home where it was thought all would
be well (another turf wicket). In 1970 Yeoman became a second Burnie side
with Yeoman connections from Wynyard Municipality allowed to play.
Yeoman finally moved yet again and this time a home was found at Les
Clarke Oval.
A tribute firstly must be paid to the late Clem Wragg (Yeoman) and the late Jack
Leary (Burnie) who together fought for their beliefs especially the admission
of Yeoman to the NWTCA. Secondly, to all concerned who have and are still
working to help put cricket teams on the ground, it would be remiss of me not
to mention the women also, who too have worked and are still working for
"Our Club".
Finally a tribute to a modem day pioneer the late Barry Stewart, who in 1968/69
together with Ray Stokes and a year later with Wayne Blazley organised
cricket rosters for secondary and primary schools in the Burnie district.
Hours were spent in his free time coaching, umpiring and transporting children
to and from cricket. A year before his death in 1974 he became the first
Tasmanian certified coach and an instigator of Tasmanian Junior Cricket
Council for which he helped draft the initial constitution.
Barry had two dreams. One to see a full time coach for juniors on the coast
(this is now being done by his son Robert). Two - an Indoor Cricket Wicket to
be built at Les Clark Oval. Both these dreams have been fulfilled and with the
hard work of Bruce Hodgetts and Terry Shadbolt, Barry's Memorial was to be
the first indoor wicket on the Coast.
To Eric Morse and his helpers, we owe a debt of gratitude for all the work
that was undertaken to enable the NWTCA to happen. Thanks to Mrs. Valmai
Reid of Wynyard who many years ago gave to me H.B. Pithouse's memoir's
(1873/74) "H.B." was a man of many talents, teacher, author, sportsman
and sport administrator. Originally from Melbourne, he served many years at
Circular Head before retiring to Burnie and without his story many personal
recollections would not have been possible in this short history. "H.B." was the
grandfather of the late Graeme Hudson who played in Burnie, Wynyard and
Hobart - a wicket keeper of great expertise and a State Representative.
The amalgamation of Burnie Yeoman 10 years ago for me was a little hard to
accept. With Yeoman blood surging through my veins I envisaged the name of
Yeoman being deleted as the two old enemies joined forces. To date this has
not happened and in the future I hope it never does, and as the club
approaches the new century, I wish it well.
There's a breathless hush in the close tonight,
Ten to make and the match to win,
A bumping pitch and a blinding light,
An hour to play and the last man in,
And it's not for the sake of a ribboned coat,
Or the selfish hope of a season 'sfame,
But his captain '$ hand on his shoulder smote,
Play up! Play up ! and play the game.

THE EXAMINER, Monday, March 17, 1969
E p i c f i n i s h to K . O . c r i c k e t . . .
SIX BY HAWKE
TIES SCORES
... ONE OVER to go, 15 runs to win and
the
second last man in.
It was a situation right out of the pages of
one
of those tall yarns that boys' adventure
books
spin. But this was reality. Cold, hard
and
absorbing.
All eyes were on Launceston vice-captain
Neil
Hawke as he faced up in the final of
Tasmania's
first knockout cricket series sponsored by
The Examiner.
Hawke stood cool, calm and capless
to take the cruciallast over from
Docking.
Twice Hawke leaned the full weight of his 15 stone into the ball to pierce the on and off-side field for twos.
He tried to repeat the dose next ball and the crowd "oooohed" as the ball lobbed just over Stubbs' head at
mid-on. Another two.
A Single to Hawke gave the rotund lan Pook the strike. Pook tried to clout the sixth ball out of the ground.
One ball to go and only a six could salvage Launceston a tie.
Young Docking cracked under the intense pressure and served up a full-toss outside the leg-stump.
Hawke's massive shoulders swivelled and the ball soared high over the square-leg boundary.
Incredibly, unbelievably it was a tie.
Hawke was carried shoulder-high from the ground. But Yeoman skipper Barry Stewart emerged from the
dressing sheds with a grin from ear to ear.
Stewart and his team-mates had quickly thumbed through a set of The Examiner club cricket knockout rules
and found a rule which read something like:
"In the event of a tie, the side having
lost the least number of wickets shall be declared the winner".
Yeoman had lost six wickets, Launceston nine. Yeoman had won!
The finesse of Stewart's 37, the power of Howard's 44 and the cucumber coolness of Hawke's unbeaten 58
were all overshadowed by the drama that unfolded in that last hectic over.
It wasn't so much a victory for Yeoman but a victory for Tasmanian Cricket - its greatest shot in the arm for years.

K.O. cricket title again
goes to Coastal team
THE "prestige" cricket win of the north, The
Examiner Knockout competition, again went to the
Coast yesterday.
The Burnie Cricket Club made the cut-throat game look like a Sunday afternoon's fun against
Midlands with a six wicket win.
In the three years of the competition's existence, it has been won by N.W.T.C.A. clubs.
Yeoman won the first two years, and now it is Burnie's turn.
Midlands did not put up a very good performance.
Captain Marcus Harvey won the toss and batted on a perfect batting strip. He and Peter
Gattenby played well to put 36 runs on the board for the first wicket.
First drop batsman David Gattenby also batted well and the score was taken to 2/69.
Batting collapse
Then the rot set in. Midlands lost the next eight wickets for 43 runs.
The fall of wickets tells the story: 36, 67, 70, 70, 75, 79, 84, 100, 104, 110.
The only other batsmen besides Harvey and the Gatenby b]rothers to show any resistance to the
persistent Bumie bowling was Scotch College schoolboy Lindsay Nicholson.
Batting at seventh wicket down, he scored 11 before he was out trying to force the pace.
Midlands' batting lost it the match. It was a disappointing effort.
Burnie's bowlers, ledbyDarril Hodgetts, received no assistance from the wicket.
Four Midlands batsmen were run out - all through lack of understanding and calling.
Set only 111 runs to win,
Burnie needed only a little over three runs an over.
This it did with ease.
No chances
Former Mowbray skipper
Colin Hughes should take most of the credit for Burnie's good batting.
He realised that under the conditions he could not bat normally - without playing any risky
shots.
He held the side together as he slowly but surely built his innings up.
State batsman Brian Cartledge nailed the coffin lid on Midlands when he took the willow to the
Midlands attack to score 31 in 40 minutes. His innings included five magnificent fours.
There was a record gate and attendance at the match for a knockout game in Launceston.
