Who says glory days pass you by?
The crew at the Valley Veterans see no reason why a few grey hairs ought to slow them down.
The team is in its third season and it took root - hah - when a group of former North East Valley Cricket Club members got together to reminisce.
''We got talking to a few of the old boys and felt we still had a bit of gas in the tank to contribute something on the field and off it,'' team manager Glen Cawood said.
''That is where it stemmed from, really.''
Many in the team played for the club in the 1990s or even earlier, and putting something back into the club is a big part of the group's motivation.
''Valley, like a lot of clubs, have gone through some hard times over the years but are hopefully bringing things back.
''We had a really good turnout [at the clubrooms] for the first Saturday of the season. There was probably a good 60-odd people there, I'd say. That's a good sign.''
Despite having an average age of ''Aww, 45'', Cawood said the competitive spirit in the Valley Veterans was still strong.
The team made 230 for nine in reply to the much younger Honey Badgers' total of 239 on Saturday.
''The fact we don't practise helps our longevity,'' Cawood suggested.
''But we finished just outside the top four last season and our aim is to qualify for the semis this year.
''We've brought in some new recruits - some guys in their mid 30s. They're fresh blood, if you can call blokes in their mid 30s fresh blood.''
Ian Day is the oldest member at 53 years young, and Blair Arthur turns 51 in February.
Cawood is 48. His son, Jayden (17) is the youngest and brings down the average age significantly.
''He just wanted to play with the old man while the old man could still play.
''I used to be left-arm medium pace but now it is just left-arm.''
Getting through eight overs was a tough ask these days and he joked the odd person had to be ''propped up to stay awake'' in the field.
''The drinks break is always something to look forward to,'' he said.
''One of the challenges for this season is for all 21 players to have a beer at the same time.''
