Source-derived summary

Randwick Petersham Cricket Club, also known as the Randy Petes, competes in the Sydney Grade Cricket competition in Grades 1 to 5, Poidevin Gray (under-21) and AW Green Shield (under-16). It also fields two teams in the Sydney Metropolitan competition.

Established in 2001 following a merger between Randwick Cricket Club and Petersham-Marrickville District CC, the Randy Petes have been highly successful winning two Club Championships (2007/08 and 2010/11) and premierships across Grades 1 to 6. The club have produced many state cricketers, including New South Wales and Cricket Australia XI player Jason Sangha, and Australian Test players Simon Katich, Nathan Hauritz, Usman Khawaja and David Warner, as well as Australian Twenty20 International players Daniel Sams and Nathan Ellis.

In February 2018, Carly Leeson became the first female cricketer to play in a men's grade cricket for Randwick Petersham.

The current lead gives the account dated anchors—2001, 2007, 2010, 2018—that can be checked directly. The linked authority record independently contributes the date 2001. The account is most persuasive where Randwick, Petersham and Cricket can be independently traced.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as cricket team. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.

Evidence profile

Vocabulary and entity names are the principal evidence signals here, because they determine the precision of every later search. The source revision retrieved here is dated Feb 18, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q7292050. 2 of 2 selected statements include explicit references; 1 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2001, 2007, 2010 and 2018.

Critical limits

The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it
