Rowledge are signing an award winning Australian Grade cricketer as their overseas player for the upcoming Southern Premier League cricket season.
Sydney based spin all-rounder Justin Felsch helped his club Bankstown win the Albert Cup, the New South Wales Second Premiership, with two stunning individual performances in the finals.
The 22-year old was named man of the match in the semi-final victory over Northern Districts, taking 5-44 as Bankstown rolled Northern Districts out for 137 and then, batting at seven, made an innings defining 52 to ensure his side edged a narrow lead.
Bankstown went on to win by six wickets to clinch a cup final spot against Western Suburbs, where Felsch starred once again.
He struck a second consecutive fifty as Bankstown posted 281 - and then produced a phenomenal spell of off-spin bowling to reduce Western Suburbs to 131 all out.
Opening the bowling, Felsch sent down 20 overs, ten of which were maidens, conceding only 17 runs in the process. He wasn't rewarded with a wicket, but played a lead role in Bankstown's Grand Final victory.
Felsch, whose elder brother Ryan played for Rowledge in the soggy 2014 season, has also been playing First Grade cricket in Sydney this past winter season.
Captained by gloveman Ben Wish for a ninth successive season, Rowledge will also be boosted by the return of teenager Ryan Littlewood, who missed all of last season with back problems, and have added Hartley Wintney teen Ben Williams to their squad.
"We are really pleased Justin is going to join the squad. I have no doubt he will be an asset, and will fit in brilliantly. There is a real buzz as the season approaches and we will once again look to be competitive," Wish said.
