The Eildon Park Cricket Club extends our deepest condolences to Jace, Tracey, Cooper & Zac, and the entire Austin family on the heartbreaking passing of Ben Austin.
Ben was a much-loved member of our club community, joining our Under 18 side to play alongside his mates. His enthusiasm for the game, his sportsmanship, and his positive attitude made him a valued teammate and friend to everyone who knew him.
Ben’s passing has deeply affected all of us at Eildon Park and across the wider cricket community. He will be remembered not only for his talent and commitment on the field, but for the kindness, warmth, and laughter he shared off it.
Our thoughts and prayers are with the Austin family, Ben’s friends, and everyone at the Ferntree Gully Cricket Club during this incredibly difficult time.�#14NotOut
