I rise today to commend the work of a great volunteer and friend of the community in Werriwa, Peter Moore. After 21 years, Peter Moore has taken the decision to step aside from his involvement with the Fairfield Liverpool Cricket Association. Peter was the Fairfield Liverpool Cricket Association secretary for 16 years, then the president since 2011, making him the longest serving president in the history of the association, which is more than 100 years old. He was awarded life membership in 2013. Peter was awarded the Medal of the Order of Australia in 2024 to honour his many years of service to the game of cricket and, especially, the community of South Western Sydney.

Peter has always advocated not only for the players but also to ensure that community cricket facilities receive grants enabling improvements and maintenance. Peter has advocated to increase the participation of women and young girls in local cricket groups. This year, five young women will represent our cricket community and state teams. This is down to the encouragement of our local cricket coaches, parents and people like Peter Moore. Peter will continue to be actively involved in the Hoxton Park Tigers Cricket Club, which he helped set up five years ago. I wish Peter all the best for his semi-retirement and thank him for his advocacy for players over the past two decades.
