Abstract

Cricket clubs had existed at Buchner’s on the Bushman’s River, Kaba (Bedford) and the Fish River as far back as 1845’ (Tournament booklet 2024), but until Luke Alfred, sports writer, with support from Justin Stirk, produced the well-documented history “Pineapple”: An Astonishing Cricketing Story (2024), the history had not been shared. Ross regretted that the book hadn’t been published 20 years sooner to mark the centenary; sadly, since 2004, much institutional knowledge has been lost.
