I congratulate Peter Moore who was recently awarded the Medal of the Order of Australia as part of this year's Australia Day Honours List. The OAM was in honour of his many years of service to the game of cricket across our great state, especially in my patch of South Western Sydney. An avid cricketer since the Under 12s, his career continued through to the seniors until a broken finger saw the end of his wicket keeping duties, where he turned to umpiring and administration. Peter was previously the Secretary of the Fairfield Liverpool Cricket Association for 16 years and is now the President. A role he has held since 2011, making him the longest serving President in the association's history. He was awarded life membership in 2013 and last year oversaw the Association's centenary. Peter is also President of the mighty Hoxton Park Tigers Cricket Club, the biggest club in the district and based in the great electorate of Leppington. I congratulate Peter on a well-deserved accolade and his continued contribution to the sport.
Peter Moore OAM
