BURWOOD DISTRICT CRICKET CLUB
Schoey's Corner
Ian Scholefield - BDCC Life Member
The stories on this page are compiled by the late Mr. Ian Scholefield. Ian is the author of “From Khakis to Whites”, (Story and Statistical Record of Burwood District Cricket Club 1928-1987) which was produced for the club’s 60th anniversary. He served on the committee for 30+ years, and 5 years as Junior Co-ordinator before serving on the Executive Committee in various roles from 1974 to 1998. Ian also played 352 games and scored 6,064 runs as a player. He was awarded the BHRDCA RJ McIntosh Medal in 1995 and the Australian Sports Medal in 2000 for his service to cricket.
Sadly, Ian passed away in October 2024, after a sudden and brief illness. Prior to his passing, Ian served as the Club Historian, and was in the middle of researching the club’s history for a centenary publication. This publication will be continued and completed in Schoey's honour and presented as part of our 100th year celebrations in 2028.
