Silent Warriors scorebook, 1986-87

Collection
Sport

The “Silent Warriors” was the name of the Deaf cricket team playing in local Sydney competition (Ryde district) in the late 1980s. They changed their previous team name to remove the word “Deaf”, due to negative comments from the other teams. This was the Silent Warriors’ score book during the 1986-87 season.
