Suburban Parks Cricket Club-Official

Anyone able to shed some light on this uncovered Townsville cricket photo from the 1920s?

How amazing is this?! A lovely lady, named Liz, found in storage this picture from 1922/23. A lot of the wording is missing but it clearly says "Townsville House Cricket Association ... Premiers"

Does anyone know anything more about the photo? Could one of those pictured be your great, great Grand Father?

We'd love to hear from you!

Some of the last names recognizable on the team list are: Green , Glover, Bacon, Wright, Connolly, Strambini, Barrym, Donald, Ellis, MacDonald, Hodel, Reiniger.
