On Friday 29 April, an icon of the Wandin Cricket Club in the late Don Strachan was inducted into the Ringwood & District Cricket Association (RDCA) Hall of Fame.

Don Strachan began playing cricket at Wandin at the age of 14, and was involved as a player and official for more than six decades.

He is honoured by the RDCA, with the F Grade shield named in his honour, the D. J Strachan Shield.

Don’s sons John and Ian accepted their father’s honour at the presentation night, while F Grade captain Rick Painter was presented with the F grade premiership flag and the Adrian Hammond Shield.
