Peters favourite cricket memories are:

​Receiving a Life membership

Playing in his first A Grade game as the 12th man in a final.

The premierships at all levels

Playing in a A grade premiership that went right down to the wire.  Tatura won despite myself and Scott Miller having to be subbed out with injuries substained playing in a Football Practice match mid week. The last day was a roller coaster of emotion, feeling that we had let down the side by getting injured as Girgarre headed to victory, to pure elation as Chris Norman ripped through Girgarre taking 7 wickets and winning the game.
