Maleny Cricket Club “The Redbacks”

Cricket in Maleny is thought to have commenced in the mid 1920’s officially.

On November 9th ,1903, Kenilworth played host to a team from Teutoberg (Witta). The Teutoberg team won the match by 32 runs. Names such as Bergann, Bobermein, Cox and Sommer are still associated with this area. From earliest times it is obvious that cricket formed an important part of the lives of the early settlers.

The area also produced an Australian International Test cricketer. Otto Ernest Nothling who played for Australia, New South Wales, Queensland starting in 1928. He played with the likes of Sir Donald Bradman.

Do you know a young cricketer who would like to start out playing for Maleny Redbacks? If so give Catherine a ring on 0401474932 or email her at catherine@malenyrealestate.com to find out more. The Redbacks home field is at the Maleny Showgrounds, Maleny.
