Harry Zimmermann

Harry Zimmermann is a dual Australian/Irish citizen who has spent the past two seasons playing in Northern Ireland.

Courtesy of his success for Ardmore, including a North West Cricket Union Premiership, the strapping all-rounder broke into the North West Warriors set-up last summer.

Prior to his move to Ireland, the batting all-rounder played in the strong WACA Grade Competition for Perth Cricket Club in Western Australia.

During his most recent summer down under, Zimmermann was playing for Perth's 1st Grade alongside the likes of Jonathan Wells (Adelaide Strikers), Josh Nicholas (WA), Liam Guthrie (WA/Brisbane Heat), and Sam Fanning (Aus U19s).

Known as a dedicated, and hard-working cricketer, Zimmermann spent much of his junior career keeping wicket, before embracing his new role as a top-order batter who bowls brisk medium pace in recent years.

Zimmermann excelled at junior level in WA, breaking into the prestigious Trinity College 1st XI in 2017, where he continued to star until his graduation in 2019. The prior summer, he represented WA Under-17s at the Australian National Championships (Oct 2018) and thereafter made his WACA 1st Grade debut for Perth (2019/20).

During the 2021 Australian winter, Zimmermann embarked on a season in Darwin, playing 1st Grade cricket for Palmerston Cricket Club. He enjoyed a purple patch in the T20 competition, hitting 182 runs at 45.5 in his 5 games with a highest score of 81. Thereafter, he played 14 matches across 2nd Grade and Colts cricket where he scored 374 runs at 19.68 (the majority in the 2nd Grade).

Over the past two seasons, Zimmermann has enjoyed notable stints in Northern Ireland for Ardmore, culminating with North West Warriors inclusion.

Given his exploits, Ardmore have re-signed their talented Australian for a third stint in 2024.
