In one of the great moments in club history, club great Shane Roberts took one of the more spectacular hat trick you are likely to see. With the match dead and gone, or so we thought, Robbo came on from the Greenhill Road end and send shivers down the spine of the opposition with a classic display of hand grenade bowling. The description of the hat trick is as follows.

Wicket 1 - Robbo bowls the arm ball just outside off stump which is not picked by the batsmen who played for the spin and the ball caught the outside edge through to Simon Hains behind the stumps. The batsmen fails to walk, but the unanimous appeal by the remaining 9 E grade players on the field convinces umpire Steve Buchnour to raise the finger and send him on his way.

Wicket 2 - The opposition captain strides to the crease full of confidence with his side needing a further 16 for victory and 8 wickets in hand. Robbo begins the mind games starring down the batsmen and running his hands through what remains of his hair. He then delivers another arm ball which again is not picked by the batsmen who catches the edge through to Simon Hains. Again the appeal is loud and strong and again the umpire, after a short delay fires the batsmen. The batsmen, disgusted with the decision, lets off an obscenity as he departs for a golden duck and the team celebrates.

Wicket 3 - Captain Siciliano demands all his troops to be no further than a metre from the bat and to show courage in the event Robbo bowls a half tracker. Helmets are called for in the pavilion but with no crowd this plea is ignored. Robbo does the team thing and pitches the ball up and the batsmen charges but fails to make contact. Simon Hains fumbles behind the stumps and at the third attempt manages to catch the ball in his gloves and take the bails off. The batsmen returns to his crease in time however 9 E grade players charge at the square leg umpire screaming "hows that!" With a sense of theatre, the young umpire obliges and sends his team mate on his way. The hat trick was achieved.
