Dickeson was recruited by captain Geoff Pascoe from the ranks of the Mildura East Cricket Club for Willowfest 2005. He was the youngest member of the team, but still held his own, opening the batting in several games, as well keeping on occasion. Owing no doubt to his Dedication training, Dickeson was selected in the Mallee Murray U16 team in 2006, and had to play with them at Willowfest, making him unavailable for Dedication. He was the first former player to ever play against Dedication. Dickeson has not returned to Dedication since.
