VIGORO FIELD #1 Traditional Cache

From the early 90's for many years, there was a big Vigoro competition in the Parramatta and Holroyd area. This is main parks were women and girls would gather to play Vigoro every Saturday afternoon in summer. The finals were always play here. I was not the best bats woman but I play as wicket keeper for many years.

Vigoro ( cricket when you are not playing cricket) was invented in 1901 and uses a paddle as the bat. The balls is thrown and not bowled. If the ball is hit forward of the crease the batter must run. The batter can get out in all the same ways as cricket. There are 12 member of each team. Over the years there has been interstate competition between NSW, QLD, and Tassie. There were 3 grades, 1st Grade, 2nd Grade and the veterans. Pleased to say NSW held their own in these competitions.

After I retired from the game,  I still saw the girls playing for many years, however i have seen them there for a while now.

This oval and park is still used at lot today football during the winter months and some cricket in summer.

This cache is far enough away from the oval for muggles not to bother you too much.
