ALUN PATULLO MEMORIAL TROPHY

The trophy honours the memory of one of Wynnum Manly’s early players and greatest supporters.

Alun was a first day player for Balmoral Wynnum in Intermediate grade and a lower grade player in the 1960s securing 82 wickets in third and fourth grade. He was a hard working committeeman from the 1980s on the fundraising and social side of the club. His generosity extended to financial support during a liquidity crisis for which he is fondly remembered.

He was renowned for his love of cricket with his involvement with, not only Wynnum Manly, but also the @Qld Cricketers' Club, The Gabba and the @Wanderers Cricket Club .

Alun was a much respected club member and his sudden passing at 47 left a void that was not easily filled. As a giant of a man his enthusiasm and loyalty to Wynnum Manly knew no bounds: he simply wanted the best for the Club. He was rewarded with life membership in 1991.

The Club honours Alun’s memory with the Alun Patullo Men's Cricketer of the Year trophy.
