Ted Norman Cup

The Ted Norman Cup is awarded in honour of the late Arthur Edward “Ted” Norman.

Ted was born in 1922 and attended PAC from 1935 until 1940. Ted played approximately 30 seasons for PAOCCC until retiring at the end of season 1984/85 (although Ted did fill in for one game in 1987/88 and 1988/89). Ted subsequently came out of retirement at the age of 69, playing 8 games in 1991/92 and 6 games in 1992/93. At the age of 73, Ted played in the Past versus Past Competition (“Stormy Waters Cup”) at Tregenza Oval (as pictured below).

Ted was A-Grade captain in 1958/59 (with Chester Bennett) and 1959/60. Ted won five batting trophies - 2 in the A-Grade (1953/54 and 1955/56), 1 in the C-Grade (1965/66) and 2 in the D-Grade (1976/77 and 1979/80). Ted’s highest score was 140 in 1955/56 and he was a part of the B-Grade A5 premiership in 1967/68.
