Established in 2001 following a merger between Randwick Cricket Club and Petersham-Marrickville District CC,[1] the Randy Petes have been highly successful winning two Club Championships (2007/08 and 2010/11) and premierships across Grades 1 to 6. The club have produced many state cricketers, including New South Wales and Cricket Australia XI player Jason Sangha, and Australian Test players Simon Katich, Nathan Hauritz, Usman Khawaja and David Warner, as well as Australian Twenty20 International players Daniel Sams and Nathan Ellis.
