Stats
Bio
Recruited from the Penguin Football Club in Tasmania's competitive North West Football Union, Garry Cowmeadow was a talented dual sportsman who crossed Bass Strait to join South Melbourne for the 1975 VFL season. A medium-sized utility standing 180cm, he managed to break into the senior side for three games but struggled to retain his place in a team that included high-profile recruits like Graham Teasdale. Following his brief VFL career, Cowmeadow returned to the Apple Isle where he enjoyed greater sporting success, kicking two goals in Penguin's 1977 premiership victory and establishing himself as a prominent medium-fast bowler for the Tasmanian cricket team, famously playing in the state's inaugural Sheffield Shield match and the 1978–79 Gillette Cup winning side.
