The South Australian Cricket Association (SACA) mourns the loss of former Board Member, Creagh O’Connor AM.
Creagh joined SACA as a member in 1953 and dedicated decades of his life in service to cricket, including his significant tenure as a director of SACA from 1991 – 2010.
Creagh, who spent 30 years in the engineering and construction industries, was instrumental in numerous improvements to Adelaide Oval, including the building of the Chappell and Clem Hill stands in 2003 and the rebuilding of the western grandstand in 2010.
In 2008, in recognition of his contribution to cricket Creagh was made an Honorary Life Member of the MCC at Lord's, and in 2009 he was bestowed Honorary Life Membership of SACA.
SACA extends its greatest sympathies to Creagh’s extended family, and friends.
