This Saturday, when our 2nd XI head to Greenvale Reserve for Day 1 of their Round 5 clash with Greenvale Kangaroos, there'll be a milestone in the scorers' box. Bruce Campbell will score his 150th Premier Cricket match.

Every run, every wicket, every extra and every over in 150 games of Premier Cricket has gone through Bruce's book, and it's hard to put a number on what that means to the clubs and players he's looked after.
150 games, four clubs
Most of those games have been with us at FDCC, but Bruce's book has travelled around the competition:
| Club | Grade | Games |
|---|---|---|
| Fitzroy Doncaster | Men's 1st XI | 19 |
| Men's 2nd XI | 67 | |
| Fitzroy Doncaster total | 87 | |
| Plenty Valley | Women's 1st XI | 37 |
| Women's 2nd XI | 1 | |
| Plenty Valley total | 38 | |
| Geelong | Women's 1st XI | 23 |
| Women's 2nd XI | 1 | |
| Geelong total | 24 | |
| Neutral scorer | Men's 3rd XI | 1 |
| Career total | 149* |
And that's just Premier Cricket. Bruce has also scored hundreds of matches for Aberfeldie Sports Club over the years.
More than a scorer
The 2nd XI know Bruce better than anyone, with 67 of his games scored alongside them. He was in the box for our 2nd XI Grand Final in 2025-26, and he's pictured above with Zac Macciocca after that game.
Scorers are the people who make the game happen without ever getting a mention on the scorecard. They're first to the ground and last to leave, and they keep the record that every average, milestone and honour board is built on. We're very lucky to have Bruce, and luckier still that he's such a great human to have around the club.
If you're at Greenvale on Saturday, make sure you stop by and say congratulations. Thanks, Bruce, and here's to the next 150.
