PRESIDENT’S REPORT It gives me great pleasure to state that our club has completed another tremendously successful season, both on and off the ground.
The First X1 Premiership was an outstanding achievement, and well deserved, given our excruciatingly close losses in the two previous Grand Finals. Congratulations to Coach, Brendan McGuinness, Captain, Brent Warren and all of the players who played in the firsts throughout the course of the year. Our fourth T20 Premiership victory in only the seventh year of the competition was an excellent achievement, and illustrated the importance the club places on performing well in the competition. The six games played showcased the young talent we have at the club. The compulsory selection of three under 21 players in each game gives our young players the opportunity to play with our established stars and provides a valuable introduction to life as a first X1 player. Congratulations to all players who represented the club so superbly throughout the T20 campaign.
This season also saw us win our third Spirit of Cricket Award. This is awarded to the club, who plays the game in all four elevens in the right spirit and adheres to the traditions associated with the great game of cricket. I am very proud of the fact that all of our players in the four grades were deemed by the umpiring fraternity to be the most deserving of this award out of the 28 VSDCA clubs. I would like to make special mention of all our captains, Brent Warren, Rob Howes, Andrew Donohue and Daryl Mendes for leading our teams in such a worthy manner
This season saw the introduction of the inaugural ISEC Under 18 T20 Competition. Under the very capable guidance of coaches John Doig and Gary Ryan, the boys triumphed in a very
5 close final. I am sure many of these boys will play in our senior T20 games in the future. Congratulations to all concerned.
The Under 15 Craig Carnival team this year was coached by Ryan Chapple, ably assisted by Rob Howes, Jordan Brambleby and Hayden Joyce. All boys in the team played very well, and had a great learning experience over the carnival period. Special thanks to Richard Blaze and Rowland Williams for all of their help and support, and to the magnificent group of parents lead by Janine Venturoni, who took on the role of team manager throughout the carnival.
The Junior Program was again superbly coordinated by Gary Iverson, and we were absolutely delighted to win the ISEC Most Efficiently Run Club Award for the second year in succession. This is a huge testament to the work put in by Gary, the coaches and managers of all the teams, and to the evergreen Rowland Williams who oversees the administration of the junior program. All the teams entered in the Under 11, 13, 15 and 17 competitions had successful seasons, and the boys enjoyed themselves immensely. Our Milo In2Cricket Program, this year coordinated by John Delaney, introduced the skills of cricket in a structured setting, for the first time to the youngest members of the Oakleigh cricket family.
I must thank sincerely, all of the members of the Oakleigh Cricket Club Committee for their tireless efforts directed to ensuring that the club had a successful year both on and off the field. The board this season comprised of Peter Webb (President), Trent Shields (Vice President), Allan Stamps (Secretary), Bruce Dowland (Assistant Secretary), Michael Lawson (Treasurer), and Board Members, Steve King, Ivor Donohue, Martin O’Driscoll, Gary Iverson and Julie Harrick. It was very pleasing to have Julie join the board, representing the Oakleigh Netball Club, and providing very sage advice.

As is explained in detail in the Treasurer’s Report, the club has had a successful year financially, recording a healthy profit. I thank Michael and his assistant Rowland Williams for their ever vigilant monitoring of the club’s finances.
Socially the club has had a very busy year. Events held have included, the Season Launch, the Allan Stamps 500 Games Celebration function, the Trivia Night, the Craig Squad Team Announcement Dinner, the International Food and Beer Night, the Hong Kong Cricket Club T20 game and dinner, the Craig Squad Presentation Night, the Senior Presentation Night and the Junior Presentation Night. In addition, the club has been blessed again to have been provided with Thursday night meals, supplied by club stalwarts Peter and Glenda Splatt. Special thanks
6 also to Ivor and Dianna Donohue for catering for the many BBQs which we held throughout the T20 and finals games. I wish to recognise the efforts of the Social Committee, directed by Trent Shields, and comprised by members of the playing group, who took on the responsibility of running some of the major functions this year. Special thanks also to Steve King and Geoff Latham for their sterling work running the bar and the weekly raffles.
The club is very fortunate to have a number of very loyal and significant sponsors. Without their financial support, the club simply could not operate in the manner it does.
I sincerely thank the following club sponsors, and urge all members to patronise their businesses.
The Rotary Club of Oakleigh The Murrumbeena Community Bank Signarama, Oakleigh Allfloors Carpet Gallery Mortgage Choice, Oakleigh Spring Osteo Clinic Ray White Real Estate, Oakleigh The Rosstown Hotel Blazeart Elite School Photography The South Oakleigh Club Kookaburra Sports Your Local Telecom Baker’s Delight, East Bentleigh, Bentleigh and Tooronga
I would also like to thank Sam Jones and James Benn for coordinating the Player Sponsor program this year. Pleasingly, this section of the sponsorship program also experienced an increase in revenue. The details of the organisations and individuals involved in the player sponsorship program are listed elsewhere in the report. Many thanks to all involved.
I would like to thank the City of Monash for the services they provide to the club. All of the grounds we utilise are well maintained, and provide the platform for good cricket to be played both the senior and junior levels. To Ken and Paul, our curators, many thanks for the preparation of the training and game day pitches. To Dani Schwabe, Sports Liaison Officer, thank you for all your help and advice throughout the season, it is much appreciated by all concerned.
The leadership of both the VSDCA and ISEC do a wonderful job in administering the senior and junior competitions the club participates in. To Jack Sheehan, President of the VSDCA, and Ian Giles, President of ISEC, a huge thankyou to both of you personally, and to both of your executives, for the enormous amount of work you do for your respective associations and for cricket in general. The Oakleigh Cricket Club is very proud to be a member of both of these associations.
The umpiring fraternity play a crucial role in ensuring that the game prospers and runs in an efficient manner. To Jim Earl, VSDCA Umpires Manager, Paul Jensen, VSDCA Umpires Advisor, and Neil Murray, President of the VSDCA Umpires Association, congratulations on a job well done, and many thanks for your time and efforts.
A special mention to our wonderful scorers – Paul Tolson, Richard Blaze, and Shannon Kirkby. It is very demanding job, and all the players and club members appreciate your efforts greatly.
7 I wish to thank the countless volunteers who selflessly devote their time and efforts to ensure our great club functions in the way it does. Without your efforts, the successes we achieve simply would not be possible.
To Life Member, Ian Dudley who has produced this magnificent Annual Report, congratulations and many thanks for the countless hours you have devoted to this task, it is very much appreciated.
Congratulations to all the award winners for this season, whose exploits are described within the Annual Report.
It has been an honour and a privilege to be President of the club again, and I thank you all for your friendship and support.
Go the Oaks
Peter Webb President
SECRETARY’S REPORT On behalf of the Committee, it is my pleasure to present the 136th Annual Report of the Oakleigh Cricket Club Incorporated, for Season 20015-2016. The Club for some time now has an expectation of multiple Grand Final appearances and a placing at the top of the Club Championship table. Again, we were not disappointed with the outcome against our initial targets: 3 senior teams making the finals, the 1st & 4th XIs appearing in Grand Finals with the 1st XI getting the ultimate prize, the 1st XI again taking home the Grand Final Cup in the Twenty/20 competition and the Club finishing very high in the VSDCA Club Championship was just fantastic and a fitting reward to the hard work put in by all, especially coach Brendan McGuinness ably leading from the front.
A Grand Final win in the Under 18 T/20 and further finals appearances in the Junior Section and the future for OCC still remains bright. Without a doubt, the nurturing & organisation of our junior teams along with continued initiative of the Acorn Squad sees our boys prepared to take the step up to senior cricket. So it is sincere thanks to the junior coaches and managers who are outstandingly led by Junior Co-ordinator Gary Iverson. Gary has of his own initiative arranged special training for the boys and parents at TNF over this winter break to ensure they hit next season up and running. The results of the Junior Section are detailed further in this report. The Club, of course, was represented in the JC Craig competition again this season and the lads did themselves, parents and coaches proud. This has been covered in the President’s report and the JC Craig Coaches own report in this document. While we lost Jolyon Leaver after one season, we were most fortunate to have Michael Allen come to our club who, apart from being a fine cricketer, is a fine man who slotted straight into the OCC furniture to play with his old mate Jarrod Travaglia for the one season. We wish him well playing in his local competition. Jarrod has announced his retirement from playing but it is
8 expected that when the horses aren’t running he will still remain a valued contributor to the Purple & Gold. Brent Warren took the reins as 1st XI captain this season and must have thought how easy it was – 2 premierships in the first season – hard to beat but ‘the best get better’ is the man’s motto. We look forward to all of us getting better off and on the field under Brent’s stewardship. I must make a point of the 2nd XI post Matt Naughtin’s departure to Qld. Robert Howes took over the reins in only his second year at the Club and did a fine job. The experience he will gain from it will be invaluable. I recommend you to read the comprehensive reports compiled by the Coach, Captains and Chairman of Selectors contained within this document for more details of the season’s performances. The season’s statistical information is also contained within and has again been provided by the irreplaceable R C Williams Esq. On the administrative side of things, there were a few changes in the line up: Peter Webb returned to his old reign as President and took over from John Doig who resigned from the committee. We had hoped and planned to have John as President for several years and to follow on our fine leadership over an extended period. Unfortunately work pressures forced John to cut back on his cricket duties. The previous season, John coached our Under 17 team, coached and managed our Craig XI, umpired VSDCA first XI every Saturday, as well as being president with all the tasks that involved.This massive list of tasks saw John drop the presidency and the Craig coaching roles. Doigy's passion, positive outlook, energy and enthusiasm is greatly missed from the committee. The team line up has been reported in the President’s report. We welcomed the addition of Julie Harrick to the Committee as the representative of the netballers. Julie fitted straight in with zest, passion and with a different perspective which is always needed. The netball teams/girls are now true members of the Club. The girls were the driving force behind a movie night and we look forward to more integrated functions in the future. All award winners are listed in the Annual Report but a mention of a few special winners needs highlighting: - Last season the AC Traill Award for Outstanding Club Service was retired and the Committee saw fit that it be replaced with the Allan Stamps Award for Outstanding Service to the Club. It gave me great satisfaction to present the first one to Trent Shields. Trent is a great worker and ambassador for this club and is a very worthy winner. His volume of work is unfortunately not appreciated by most members. - The Lionel Dickson Award for services to fundraising was won by Geoff Latham. The big fella has stepped up to the plate on many fronts and it is great to see someone off the committee being so involved in our club. Geoff has indicated he will become a committee member this coming season. You have to love his passion! Thursday night lotto will need a new name. - The DW Nicoll Award for OCC’s most promising junior was duly won by Daniel Croft. I’m sure we’ll see Daniel put many seasons together in the 1st XI. - The winner of the VSDCA’s Young Cricketer of the Year Award (the Anthony Gale Award) was presented to our own Jordan Brambleby at the Annual VSDCA Hatch Dinner. Well done Jordan.
9 - On the opposite end of the scale, the VSDCA has named the award for the best player of the 3rd XI in the Grand Final the Allan Stamps Award. The Committee did not put forward a recommendation for Life Membership last season. This was the first season since the changes to the Incorporation Act Amendments of 2014 took place. As a result the role of the Secretary has expanded yet further, not only with more compliance/legal activities and reporting, but it has taken over the role of the abolished Public Officer position. I have advised the Club Executive that I will be stepping down from all the general secretarial activities but will remain performing the ‘backroom activities’ including dealing with Consumer Affairs and the Gambling & Liquor Authorities. We have already completed the necessary paperwork and registration for the ability to run raffles....even (ex) Latho’s Lotto is bound by law now. The next thing is to see if we can extend our ‘red line area’ for where we can legally consume match day drinks outside the confines of the Holten Room. Therefore I have proposed that the ‘legal’ Secretary role only be used & named where required and that we name a position of ‘Administration Secretary’ who will be performing most day to day activities. Similarly, the MyCricket administration & audit will be a separate position now. At the time of writing we have incumbents for these positions but they have not been ratified yet. They need support though! The Club operations are now just too great for a hard working and aging few and there will be the continued plan of delegating tasks into logical chunks and having committee members concentrate more on managing portfolios as opposed to the random ‘filling in the pieces’. Players must take a more active interest in their Club if we are to remain the ‘best getting better’. The Club again fulfilled its obligations with CV for the VCCL and hosted a Division 1 match between Mornington Penninsula & Sale-Maffra on Feb 3. It is fitting that we were allotted a Div 1 game due to the excellent facilities at our ground which are only surpassed by the dedicated hard working OCC faithful who take great pride in the running of these matches. We have one of the cleanest ‘records’ with VSDCA and ISEC with regard to following and adhering to the plethora of instructions, compliances and lawful directions – well done to all involved. Our professionalism encompasses the playing field and the Committee room. The financial dividend we used to receive from Cricket Victoria is over. Again, players will have to run and support more social functions and maintain our sponsors support. The Club had also been very fortunate to secure some government, council and other sporting body grants over past seasons due to the diligence of Matthew Naughtin. As a result of Matthew’s departure we need to have someone put their hand up and, if it be, just solely concentrate on seeking these avenues and piecing together submissions. A task that can be done from home! No cricket knowledge required. Make no mistake, we as a club and the association are facing more and more opposition & challenges. We are supporting the Executive of the VSDCA with the stance of not accepting the Cricket Victoria proposal of the restructure of turf cricket across the metropolitan regions as what has been presented. VSDCA will accept change though, if for the better, warranted because something is wrong and the solution is viable and well planned. The current paper from Cricket Victoria does not support any of this. Watch this space! On the local level there has been ‘informal’ queries would OCC consider moving from Scammell Reserve (Guest Rd ) to another site to enable the South Oakleigh Sporting Club to utilise the
10 ground more i.e. let the hard wicket competition use this ground instead of us, perhaps under the pretence more football being played there. Like both of our grounds, this was a site OCC owned but gave the management to the Council of the day. The wickets that RC Williams and co sewed by hand on their hands and knees and then hand watered day in day out! The irony is not lost on me is that a possibility for a new ground is Clayton should that club not field cricket. This is the club we nearly merged with in 1986 when our administration numbers were so low that amalgamation seemed the only option. Personally, I’m happy to take over Clayton for our 5ths, 6ths and junior turf teams. Scammell Reserve, Guest Rd is as much Oakleigh CC as is the DW Nicoll Reserve and we must never forget that and the cricketers that have grown from it. Those of you reading this report care for our great club and can contribute just by doing the small things and let the committee do the big things: you have my number. Allan Stamps Secretary

VALE Lindsay Kline, Oakleigh Cricket Club’s only test player, passed away this year. Lindsay's time at the club coincided with an extremely successful period, culminating in our breakthrough First XI premiership as the bowling star in legend Val Holten's armoury. Lindsay remained in close contact with Oakleigh in the ensuing years, notably through his great friendship with fellow Oakleigh premiership star, Geoff Longney. His last official engagement was as a guest speaker alongside Val Holten at the 50 year reunion of the 1963/64 premiership win, his charm and wit on show as always. He left an indelible mark on all of those from the current generation who attended that event. In 53 matches for Oakleigh, Lindsay took an amazing 233 wickets at 10.59. He took 5 wickets in an innings 15 times and had best bowling figures of 7/19 against. Ivanhoe. Lindsay played 13 Test matches for Australia and took 34 wickets at 22.82. His best bowling figures were 7/75, versus Pakistan at Lahore in 1959. Lindsay is one of the small number of test players to take a hat trick. Lindsay faced the final ball from Wes Hall in the tied test between Australia and the West Indies in Brisbane in 1960/61.
Oakleigh Cricket Club family members and loved ones To all in the Oakleigh Cricket Club family who have lost family members and loved ones during the year, we offer our condolences and our heartfelt support.
11 COACH’S REPORT In July last year, we assembled at the Val Holten rooms to outline our plans for the season ahead. After enduring the pain of successive Grand Final losses, our attitude and approach to the upcoming season could go one of two ways – embrace the challenge, work harder than ever and go one step further, or be satisfied with our performance and accept that our best isn’t good enough. We embraced the challenge. We committed to doing the hard work. We succeeded. Early in the preseason we enlisted the services of Andrew Horsfield to help us dissect our approach to training and game day, and identify what was required to elevate the group to a new level. The sessions were informative and collaborative, and truly tested our thinking and approach to everything we do. A real eye-opening experience, the group walked away with a greater sense of self-awareness and ownership. We needed to stand for something; a motto to live by - The Best Get Better. We attacked preseason with the determination and energy you’d expect from a club with something to prove. A move to Maddocks Sports provided a much needed change of scenery, which was well received! The President doubled as Net Captain at every session, and player numbers were excellent. The expectations of the playing group continued to rise. Our batting received a much needed injection of talent over the off-season, with Sam Jones returning from Premier Cricket, the return of Jarrod Travaglia, and the addition of high-profile recruit Mick Allen. We welcomed a number of new faces to the fold and said goodbye to a handful of players, however the quality and depth of the playing group remained constant – ensuring we were well placed to push for the title once again. Practice matches against Prahran CC, Balwyn CC, Kingston-Hawthorn Hawks CC and Mt Waverley CC had us primed and ready for the season ahead. Team bonding and dance floor antics were at the fore over the 3 weekends. No-one forgot their whites, and only one person ended up fully clothed in a pool. Over the course of the season, all XI’s showed glimpses of their true potential. It’s exciting to see the progress of our younger players – Alex Ross, Daniel Croft, Jordan Brambleby, Matt Price, Daniel Shaw, Geoff Latham and Luke Rhodes – to name a few. An extremely talented group of young players pressing for regular 1st XI cricket, with an opportunity to take Oakleigh CC to even greater heights in the years to come. Ably led by Daryl Mendes, our 4th XI had another extremely successful season. To reach a Grand Final is a fantastic achievement, and to do so with such a young and inexperienced side is simply brilliant. The combination of youth and experience continues to bode well – the ‘wiser heads’ in Daz, Chaps, Foss and Dharmesh provided the valuable experience required to win games from any situation. Pleasingly, a number of younger Oaks are starting to make their presence felt at senior level, with Darcy Burke, Max O’Driscoll, and Liam Sherlock showcasing their talent throughout the season. Definitely keep an eye out for these boys in the coming seasons as they make their way up the grades.
12
Conversely, it was a tough season for the 3rd XI, losing captain, Andrew Donohue after only 4 rounds. We put the call out, and Trent Shields answered - stepping up to lead the young XI for the remainder of the season. Unfortunately, we struggled to maintain composure in pressure situations, narrowly losing a handful of games by less than 10 runs – ultimately costing us a top 6 finish. Despite the disappointment of missing finals, the boys should be extremely proud of their efforts and keen to atone for the disappointment of missing out on finals next season. It was a case of ‘new season, new captain’ for the 2nd XI. Rob ‘Doogie’ Howes took over the captaincy this season, after dual Premiership captain, Matthew Naughtin stepped down due to work commitments. Despite having incredibly big shoes to fill, Rob demonstrated excellent leadership this season, ably supported by experienced heads in Andrew Splatt and Mark Harrison. The 2nd XI applied themselves in workmanlike fashion throughout the season to finish 3rd on the ladder. A superb individual performance from Alex Ross was enough to secure victory in the Quarter-Final against Yarraville, however our batting wasn’t quite up to the challenge in the Semi-Final, losing to eventual premiers, Malvern. Despite the loss, I was extremely proud of how the boys went about the chase. The maturity shown by Luke Rhodes to anchor the innings, the sheer determination of Rob Howes, and the hard hitting of Geoff Latham did well to get us within reach of the target. Falling 9 runs shy is undeniably heart-breaking, but the disappointment needs to be harnessed and serve as motivation for greater things next season. Alex Ross performed admirably with both bat and ball all season, and the continual progression of Geoff Latham, Daniel Croft, Rob Howes and Kobi Wallis is exciting to see. Unfortunately, our batting is once again our Achilles heel – with no batsman averaging above 30. If we can apply ourselves for longer, I’m confident we’ll achieve the ultimate success next season. A new season, new leadership, and more determined than ever before, the 1st XI really had something to prove. There was a familiar theme among Subbies commentary – the club that wins the premiership this season will deserve it. The South/West group in 2015/16 was by far the strongest seen in a very long time. The Oakleigh game plan was robust and simple. Bat our overs, take their 10 wickets, and be clean in the field. We rotated bowlers and batsmen throughout the season to provide all players with an opportunity to test their wares in different conditions and situations. Once again, our bowling unit was the driving force behind our success. It was a ‘coming of age’ for spearhead Alex Jones, ably supported by Ben ‘Spike’ Pinwill and young gun Jordan Brambleby. Our bowling unit was the envy of the competition. While our batting never truly fired, we always found a way – particularly in finals. We took our time, we defended hard through the tough patches, and set ourselves up to capitalise towards the end of the innings. It was far from pretty, but we accepted the responsibility as a group and grinded out 3 outstanding batting performances, delivering us a well-deserved blue triangle. While the 2-day premiership is the ultimate success, we continue to excel in the shortest format of the game. To win our 4th T20 Premiership in 7 seasons is simply outstanding. The emergence of U21 players in Daniel Shaw, James Duckett and Luke Rhodes has been exciting to watch, as well as the ‘established’ U21 players in Jordan Brambleby and Matt Price. Mick Splatt was at his devastating best throughout the campaign, and has proven time and time again that he has what it takes to be one of the most destructive players in the competition.
13 It’s always special to celebrate and acknowledge personal milestones, and this season we got to celebrate one of the very best. In Round 10, Ben Pinwill set a new benchmark for the Oakleigh CC games record, surpassing the 236 games set by Ron Munyard. The record is a true testament to both his dedication to Oakleigh Cricket Club, but also his commitment and preparation for each and every game he plays. While it’s customary at this time to thank and acknowledge individual contributions and achievements, I want to acknowledge the collective contribution of our younger players – Geoff Latham, Daniel Croft, Tom Corrie, Jordan Brambleby, Alex Ross, Rob Howes, James Benn, Alex Jones and John O’Keefe. This season, you all put time and effort in to your club and were rewarded handsomely. To see you contributing to social functions, supporting our Craig Shield and Acorns Programs, organising winter cricket, getting around each other at ‘Rish on a Monday night, helping with dinner/clean-ups on Thursday/Saturday nights, and proactively set up for training is just fantastic. This is just a small snippet of how you’ve taken the next step. I can only encourage you to continue to do more of what you’re doing, and encourage others to follow your lead. The more you put in to your club, the more you will get from it in return. It goes without saying that our great club wouldn’t be what it is without the dedication and support of a number of members and volunteers. In particular, I’d like to thank; President, Peter Webb, and the Oakleigh CC Board for you commitment and support this season. Webby, you worked the equivalent of 10 men this season, and I can’t thank you enough for your ongoing support. Brent Warren, Rob Howes, Andrew Donohue, Trent Shields and Daryl Mendes for committing to the captaincy of your respective teams, and supporting the development and growth of each and every player that played under you. It’s rarely an ‘easy ride’, so thank you for your efforts this season. Jarrod Travaglia. Congratulations on an enormously successful career. You embody everything that Oakleigh Cricket Club stands for, and our success is a result of your drive and determination. I’m incredibly proud to call you a mate, and congratulate you on everything you’ve achieved over almost a decade with the club. I wish you all the best in retirement, and can’t wait to see you filling in for the 3rd XI in Round 1 next season. Allan Stamps. Genuinely one of the very best. The club is incredibly fortunate to have such a loyal and dedicated servant. Congratulations on achieving 500 games with Oakleigh Cricket Club. Our Chairman of Selectors, Andrew Mitchell. Thank you for overseeing the selection of our teams each and every week. You do a fantastic job in ensuring we have 46 players on the park each round. Sir Paul Tolson. Just an incredible individual. Your support each and every Saturday makes everything just that little bit easier. You’re an integral part of our success, and I hope we continue to share many more premierships in the years to come. Peter & Glenda Splatt. Your Thursday night meals bring the boys together every single week and go a long way to driving the successful OCC culture that is the envy of the competition.

Kenny & Monash City Council. Thank you for ensuring we have the best possible training and playing wickets each and every week. We’re very fortunate to have such great facilities at our disposal. The Oakleigh CC family. The parents, wives, girlfriends, members and supporters – thank you for your continued support of the playing group. Cricket is a demanding sport - and I’m an even more demanding coach! So thank you for your ongoing support and contribution to our success. And finally, my wife Jana. I couldn’t do it without your love and support. You’ll be thrilled to know that I’ve signed on for another two years, so there are plenty more fun times to come! This is a truly extraordinary club, full of enormously talented cricketers, great people, and dedicated volunteers. Be extremely proud of what we achieved this season. Next season we will encounter greater tests and greater challenges, and we’ll need to work harder than ever before to remain at the top. Opportunities will present themselves to those who are committed and willing to do the hard work. It goes without saying that our success this season didn’t happen by accident. Enjoy the break and I’ll see you at preseason for our tilt at all 4 flags next season! Brendan McGuinness Senior Coach Oakleigh Cricket Club
MAJOR PARTNERS
15 COMMUNITY PARTNERS REPORT The club is extremely fortunate to have strong support from many generous and loyal community partners, who play a vital role in securing our financial stability. Our most important community partner continues to be the City of Monash, and we thank them greatly for their provision of the first class facilities that we enjoy. Revenue from our community sponsors has increased this season, due to the arrival of new sponsors, and increased revenue from some of our existing sponsors. The Rotary Club of Oakleigh, again provided the club with a very substantial grant. This year’s grant was used to help fund refurbishments in the Val Holten Room. My great thanks to Clare Birch, President of Oakleigh Rotary, and her Board of Management for their ongoing support of the club. Thanks to the Murrumbeena Community Bank, your financial support of the club is much appreciated, and I urge all members and supporters to use the bank’s services. Sue Foley and Dennis Tarrant have been great supporters of the club, and we look forward to a long partnership with the bank. This year the Rosstown Hotel became a new sponsor, and we have enjoyed their hospitality at many club functions throughout the season. My great thanks to Jarrod Travaglia for arranging this new sponsorship. Allfloors Carpet Gallery, has once again continued their ongoing financial support, and we thank Gary, Glenise and Jarrod Travaglia for their magnificent loyalty. As part of Allfloors Telecommunications plan with Your Local Telecom, we were also extremely fortunate to receive a community grant from YLT, which was much appreciated.

Rohan’s generosity is much appreciated, and Signarama’s work is always of the highest standard. Gary Iverson, from the East Bentleigh, Bentleigh and Tooronga Bakers Delight stores, continues to support the club both financially, and through the provision of his store’s magnificent products. Many thanks to a great clubman. Spring Osteo Clinic again provided very generous financial support to the club, in addition to maintaining the health of some of our ageing warriors. Many thanks to Nick Harrison for your ongoing support. Ray White Real Estate Oakleigh has again provided valuable financial assistance to the club, and I encourage all members to use Ray White’s services for your real estate needs. The South Oakleigh Club, also assisted in the provision of facilities for club functions, we thank them for their generous support.

FINANCIAL REPORT - TREASURER’S REPORT Season 2015/16 was both a financial and on field success resulting in the Senior XI premiership and runners-up position for the Fourth XI; plus, at junior level, the U18 T20 premiership –and the U17 Holten team were runners up. Our result was a $17,550 profit against a budgeted figure of $1,200. Income for the year rose significantly (up $15,000) to over $114,000 with social functions and increased sponsorship the main factors, while expenditure dropped (by $7,000) to $97,000 mainly attributable to not spending $11,500 on synthetic wickets this season. Wins for the season included obtaining sponsorship from the Rosstown Hotel; increased sponsorship from the Murrumbeena Branch of the Bendigo Bank; $5,000 transferred to the Term Deposit account; and a Committee initiative enabling the younger members of the club to decide on, and organise social events. Special thanks to Geoff Latham for his running of raffles and managing of various tasks associated with event operations. Members subscriptions were kept at the 2013/14 rate, netting $20,715 for seniors and $14,980 re juniors. A major contributor to the improved end of year position was revenue from sponsors. Magnificent backing was received from our supporters Rotary Club of Oakleigh, Sign*A*Rama (Oakleigh), Allfloors Carpet Gallery, East Bentleigh Bakers Delight, Mortgage Choice Oakleigh, Your Local Telecom, Spring Osteo Clinic and Ray White Oakleigh. A big thank you to all of these organisations, and Trent Shields for his diligent pursuing of sponsor payments. Player sponsors were $500 over the 2014/15 amount received; thanks to players and their sponsors.

Refreshment sales, raffles and fundraising activities again contributed to boosting the Club’s financial position. Thanks go to those who participated in these revenue generating activities, whether by purchasing supplies for the Bar/BBQ, or working in these areas. Special thanks go to the finance team of Roly Williams, Ivor Donohue & Steve (Irish) King. I am again looking forward to the magnificent support of Neil Croft in organising (and potentially recruiting new members to) the Lobster Club, and Roly for processing payments, as the proceeds generated increased by over $2,600 on 2014/15. Club members and supporters who subscribed to the Lobster Club enjoyed a sumptuous dinner in April, thanks to the First Eleven winning 13 games, including that memorable Grand Final Fund raising activity profits rose by around $7,000 (mainly due to 2 successful social events – a Trivia Night + International Beer & Food Night - being held in 2015/16), and the higher Lobster Club proceeds mentioned above. Thanks to attendees at these functions, and to those responsible for assisting and/or organising the events. A report showing the results of these activities is included with this report. Fortunately (due to the items mentioned above and the hard work of members and supporters in the past) the club is in a healthy financial position, as the $9,000 VCA Administration Grant is scheduled to end next season, leaving us with a major income shortfall. Efforts will be made to attract government grant funding in the new season, to replace some of this lost income. Coaching/Professional Player fees and expenses increased by approximately $8,000 mainly attributable to costs associated with the development coach appointment. Ground & Pavilion Rent dropped by approximately $3,000 as a result of delays in receiving Monash Council invoices each season – then making revisions to correct Council errors (detected by Roly) - resulting in over-estimating the 2014/15 expense, combined with not as many junior teams making the finals this season Umpires fees fell by $2,000 because several rounds were cancelled due to wet-weather & even one “heat-out”. An early Easter meant one less playing day being scheduled, also. With less junior teams playing finals, umpire fees dropped accordingly, and the 3rd eleven did not play finals which in itself reduced the amount by $560 (4 days @ $140). Ending on a positive note, with new recruits and Gary Iverson’s junior production line continuing to provide talented players, the aim is to keep the mighty Oaks on top of the pack, again!

FIRST ELEVEN REPORT If you looked back at our year in full we had a great season but we also had an indifferent season; what made it indifferent was that we never hit our straps until we hit the finals. The first half of our season was littered with performances but also inconsistency. But that was also part of our strength that everyone at some stage had stood up to win us a game. The team collectively had been performing well as continued this right through until the end.
This was indicative of the personnel in our side, a mix of great experience along with some improving and talented youth. Brendan McGuinness, Jarrod Travaglia, Michael Allen, Daniel Junkeer, Michael Splatt, Ben Pinwill all showing their experience along with the youth of Sam and Alex Jones, Jordan Brambleby, Matthew Price all bringing some great enthusiasm to the group.
Some outstanding individual efforts throughout the year with Shane Townsend making 100no against Brighton; Alex Jones tearing through Altona, Caulfield and Yarraville; Tricky Allen’s 89 against Malvern; Daniel Junkeer and Jarrod Travaglia’s 77 run partnership against Ormond to win the Preliminary final. Jordan’s effort with the ball, especially at the death of any match.
I thoroughly enjoyed my first year as captain, it was made much easier with such a great support network around me. I would like to thank Sam Jones for being my Vice Captain; often helping me develop the game plan which in turn took us to a Grand Final win. Also special thanks to Brendan McGuinness, Jarrod Travaglia, Michael Allen and Spike Pinwill for their support and guidance throughout the year.
Off the field the club gives a wealth of support to our team and I would like to thank the following people on behalf of the 1st XI Paul Tolson for scoring all season Wendy and Peter Webb for the afternoon teas Peter and Glenda Splatt for the Thursday night dinners Allan Stamps for his guidance And the supporters who turn up week in week out to watch us.
Finally I look forward to the next year, we have two retirements from great players in our side and next year allows us to continue to improve and get some youth into our 1st XI. This year the additions of Jordan Brambleby, Daniel Croft and Matt Price were fantastic and ensures the future of Oakleigh cricket continues to look bright. Brent Warren Captain

31 FIRST ELEVEN PREMIERSHIP TEAM
32
SECOND ELEVEN REPORT Being in my first season as captain and taking over from someone who commanded such great respect around the club in Matt Naughtin, I knew that it was going to be a big challenge – one that I was very much looking forward to.
Coming off back-to-back premierships in the 2s, the goal of the side remained the same – to once again make it to another Grand Final and give the club a rare opportunity at a 3-peat. The side changed a lot from last year’s premiership winning team, with only 4 members of that side finishing off the season in the team. Losing Naughtin x2, Rhys Allard, Will Taylor, Jordan Brambleby and Geoff Latham for half the season through injury was always going to take a lot of experience away from the side, but what it presented was an opportunity for younger guys to step up and take their chances.
This season saw the likes of Luke Rhodes, Daniel Shaw, James Duckett, Dylan Brambleby and Tom Corrie all demonstrate at various stages that the future of the Oakleigh CC is a bright one. All put up strong performances throughout the season, culminating in Rhodesy’s outstanding innings in the Semi Final loss against Malvern – compiling a magnificent 53 opening the batting that belied his young age. The secondary purpose of the 2nd XI outside of obviously winning matches is to help develop the future generation of 1st XI players. There is no doubt in my mind that these guys can follow in the footsteps of recent 1st XI additions in Jordan Brambleby and Matt Price and play key roles in the 1s in the future.
With a few new additions to the 1st XI, we were also very fortunate to attain the services of Alex Ross and Andrew Splatt for the entirety of the season. The many years of 1st XI experience that these guys brought was a major boost for our young side, with both being our two most consistent performers across the season with both bat and ball. The years these guys had and the way they responded to coming back down to the 2s was a credit to their characters, being able to put any disappointment they held behind them to contribute significantly to our team throughout the season.
Ultimately, our side fell 9 runs short in the Semi Final against eventual premiers Malvern (who we defeated in last year’s GF). The disappointment written upon every single one of the guys’ faces following this loss showed just how much it meant to us, knowing that we’d let a great opportunity slip after coming so close. There is no doubt in my mind that we clearly had enough talent in our side to win the premiership, however as we have seen over the last few years – talent only takes you so far. Finals are often won on the back of guys ‘digging in’ and being prepared to fight to turn the match back in their team’s favour. This is certainly something that I know the boys will learn from and use both next season and in seasons to come when they find themselves in similar positions.
The batting this season in the 2nd XI, as it was throughout the club, left a lot to be desired in terms of both application and performance. A common theme throughout the season was the inability of guys to adjust to different conditions, and be prepared to tough it out when things were not all in their favour. Without doubt the most disappointing batting performance for the season was when we lost 20 wickets in the course of one weekend to have a ‘reverse-outright’ inflicted on us. Whilst there was a bit in the pitch for the bowlers, it was certainly not a wicket that justified such a performance. Many lessons I am sure would have been learnt from that disappointing weekend, something that was demonstrated as early as a week later where we managed to make 6/320 (including two centurions) against Moorabbin after being in a precarious position at 4/38. Alex Ross, Sam Jones and myself were all able to post centuries this season, a positive sign that guys are more than capable of playing that long innings if they stay focused and refuse to be content with a start.
Our bowling this season really carried us, helping us win matches that we had no right to even be in contention in. The best bowling performance of the season, in quite possibly the best win I have been a part of, was against Caulfield in Round 12. Defending just 135 on a slow outfield, and with Caulfield in a strong position at 4/101, Alex Ross and Daniel Croft put on an incredible display of partnership bowling that saw us get over the line by one solitary run. With figures of 23-11-2-27 and 22-12-4-27, it highlighted
33 the maturity of these two in being able to execute a plan perfectly. The bowling unit as a whole were able to do this on this day, with hardly a bad ball bowled in those 81 overs. This became the blueprint for us for the rest of the season, with such a simple game plan helping focus our bowlers on what they needed to do to get us over the line. The amount of talent the club has in its bowling stocks made things a whole lot easier for me, knowing that I could turn to any one of these blokes and know that they would be able to perform the job expected of them.
Being a first year captain I could not have completed the role without assistance from the following people:
o Richard Blaze for once again being our team manager and giving up his Saturdays to help out where needed and provide experience to both myself and the team; o Webby and the Board for giving me the opportunity to captain the side this season. Your faith in me really meant a lot and I am very grateful for the opportunity you provided to me; o BJ, Mitch, Rabs, Shieldsy, Doc and Daz for providing me with assistance and experience both at selection and throughout the season to help make things a lot easier for me; o Norto for all his advice at the start of the season. Losing you after only a few games was a big loss for not only the side but me personally, but your support throughout the season was very much appreciated; o The parents that came along and supported us each week, in particular Gail and Neil Price who could always be relied upon to be there to both support and help set up afternoon teas every week (the 2s will miss you guys from now on!) o Geoff Latham for being my go-to person who I could always rely on, whether it be to bring gear to the matches or to help organise covers. Your influence on the team once you returned from injury really showed how much you are the heart and soul of the 2s; and o Andrew Splatt – as I have said to you both publicly and privately, I could not have completed the role without you this season mate. With the amount of experience we lost - compounded by the loss of Norto - you really stepped up and took on a much more senior role in the side. You were a constant source of support for me and were able to provide me with assistance whenever I required it, something that I am very appreciative of. Thank you again for all your support throughout the season. Finally, I very much enjoyed my first season as captain of the 2nd XI at Oakleigh. Being a leader is something I really wanted to take on and whilst it was certainly challenging at times, it was definitely something that I felt I improved upon the longer the season went on. Seeing the reactions of the younger guys when informing them of their promotions to the 2s is such a fantastic part of the job, albeit often being due to a tough decision being made on someone else. Captaining a talented bunch of guys certainly made my job a lot easier and was a role I really enjoyed fulfilling. I look forward to seeing the growth and development of all the guys I was fortunate enough to captain this season in the years to come.

37 THIRD ELEVEN REPORT
This season offered much promise following on from the burgeoning performances of a core group of younger players in 2014/2015. But while most importantly the club as a whole benefited from this growth, from a third eleven perspective (and from a personal perspective), this season was disappointing in terms of the lofty goals we rightly set at OCC as we took a bit of a backward step this year. Though we were still a chance to make the finals come the final round, we were ultimately unsuccessful, the only senior team not to make the finals, and finished the year 9th with five wins (one outright), two draws and six losses. The bitter blow was worsened by finishing just one 3rd XI victory away from claiming an unprecedented sixth club championship title. Probably a realistic representation of where we sat in the grand scheme of things. It was a year of ups and downs with some top notch performances as well as some disappointing ones, and overall the year was characterised by a lack of consistency.
Firstly, and for the first time in many seasons, we had an inconsistent core playing group. Over the last few years the thirds have had a remarkably stable group characterised by low player turnover (especially for a club’s third eleven) and over half the team playing in more than ten games per season. This year things were a little different with injuries and unavailability, in both the thirds and higher elevens, meaning it was almost impossible to put a regular team on the field and resulted in 30 players coming through the team and only two players playing more than ten games in the team. This team fluidity told in our results.
We were inconsistent on the field. There were some close losses to Balwyn (less than ten runs, though perhaps this was a bit flattering), Elsternwick by six (a great effort chasing 241), and Bayswater by four. Draws against Malvern and Moorabbin possibly evened out on the ledger. But good solid wins against Box Hill, Ormond, Brighton, Noble Park and Caulfield were tempered by bad losses against Endeavour Hills, Mount Waverley and crucially against Croydon in the final round. Only one win and two close losses against teams in the final six told the tale that we were not able to compete with the better teams for whole games.
Inconsistent individual performances from the playing group, particularly in the batting, let us down this year. Disappointingly no one qualified for the batting averages and competition wise our highest performer was 62nd whereas last year we had 5 in the top 20! I believe this is the most important aspect we as a team need to address to ensure continued success. The coaches’ message throughout the season was simple, place value on your wicket, too often we didn’t do that and good starts or recoveries were thrown away through lack of temperament. The credo that propelled the First XI to three stunning finals victories was ‘get to ten’, our 3rd XI batsmen would be well advised to buy in to this resolve as it will be equally successful in the lower elevens.
Our bowling was again a strong point and was crucial in a number of matches however it too was a little down on previous seasons with only Trent Shields and Anthony Howes in the
38 competitions top 25 compared with five bowlers last year. Again too often the good work of one or 2 bowlers was counteracted by the inability of the rest of the attack to sustain pressure.
But while the results didn’t pan out for the team as a whole there are some real positives for individuals, team and club. The 3’s provided a number of players for higher 11’s (which is one of its primary roles after all) with more than sixteen players from the thirds from this, or last season, playing in the seconds at some point during the season and more importantly having an impact at that level. Nearly all of them were young players (e.g. Corrie, Brambleby, Braganza, Benn, Duckett, Rhodes, Howes, Shaw, Wallis, Anselmi) who will provide the backbone of the senior 11’s in years to come. Dylan, Daniel & Luke in particular showed temperament and skill beyond their years in match winning innings throughout the season which thrust them confidently into stints in the higher XI’s. We welcomed new players to the fold with Michael Cummings, Tom Brasher and Anthony Howes joining the team at various points and making valuable contributions both on and off the field.
The youngsters keep stepping up. Max O’Driscoll made his senior debut and then headed into the 3’s where his great control was a shining light, David McCarthy got more game time this season, and if not for injury would have been a key contributor in our run to the finals and for the second year in a row we unearthed a talented young keeper/batsman in Jarryd Raffa who stepped up after Luke Rhodes headed to the 2nds.
It was also great to see the return of club and subbies legend Barry Ensil whose talent, experience and professionalism was a huge bonus for the group. One of the best moments of the season was the energy and excitement the younger players exhibited playing with Baz. Hopefully we can coax him back for some appearances next year - his ability has certainly not waivered over time. We also saw returns from Kobi Wallis whose top order consistency was invaluable early before getting promoted and establishing himself in the semi-finalist 2s. Ever so briefly we saw a long overdue return from the Chairman of Selectors himself Andrew Mitchell.
From a personal perspective it was an extremely disappointing and frustrating season after my inability to control a bike resulted in season ending injuries. As a consequence, my biggest thanks most certainly have to go to Trent, who was metaphorically and literally catapulted over the handlebars into the captain’s role and did a fantastic job. The atmosphere, cohesion and sense of purpose he brought to the team was a joy to watch.
Again a huge thanks to Shannon for not only scoring, but doing such a good job of it and on top of that helping out with all sorts of off field tasks and putting up with the whole group for another season. Thanks to Scammel’s curator Paul Orchard , Roly, Michael Lawson, Allan Stamps, Darryl Mendes, Glenn Shaw, BJ, Rob Howes and of course Peter Webb and his board for all ensuring things run smoothly at every level. Everyone in the team appreciates parents, siblings, kids, friends, colleagues and club mates acting as taxis, coming down and supporting, having a chat, helping out and pitching in. It is what makes the OCC such a great club. I’m looking forward with much anticipation to 2016/17.

FOURTH ELEVEN REPORT The 4th XI had 29 players play at least one game this season, welcoming new OCC senior players Cameron Bishop, Anthony Howes, Sam Le Lievre and Joachim Rymarz, and junior players Max O’Driscoll, Liam Sherlock and Satvik Verma. For the home and away season, we played seven one dayers and four two dayers, winning ten games to finish third on the ladder in a very tight top six. The first game of the season was a one dayer against Balwyn, a team new to the SE group in the 3rd and 4th elevens. After losing two early ones courtesy of debutant Anthony Howes, Balwyn steadied to 4/74 before losing an extraordinary 6/0, Darcy Burke the chief destroyer with 4/4. The 75 runs required were brought up in 25 overs in a no-frills fashion, and as a team, we were once again on our quest for a long overdue flag akin to the Argonauts on their quest for the Golden Fleece. The second round for the 4th XI (and for the entire club) was all about celebrating the 500th game of Allan Bruce Stamps, one of the few to reach this milestone in any cricket association. Thanks to David Long and the Elsternwick Cricket Club for agreeing to alter the fixture to play this match at W.A. Scammell Reserve. We amassed 206 on the first day (A Stamps 0*), with a 115 run partnership between Chaps and Forba before Stamps Junior and Senior opened up together to close out the day to the strains of ‘Cat’s In the Cradle’. The wickets were shared around on the second day to dismiss them for 113, with a typically frugal 12/7/1/6 from Al. Round 3 was an exact copy of Round 1, just against a different enemy as Ormond were skewered for 74 before Dharmesh Patel and Ryan Chapple compiled the bulk of the runs in a measured performance to see us home, and settled in the upper echelon. Early wins in the season are really about which team is better prepared, and to have the team win three out of three was heading more in the direction of Jacob’s ladder than Dante’s Inferno. Rounds 4 to 6 showcased the burgeoning talent from some of the junior brigade that we are blessed to have at Oakleigh. After batting first in the one dayer against Bayswater, Dylan Brambleby and the ubiquitous Burke put on an opening stand of 149, devastating the Bayswater bowling attack. Brambleby continued the onslaught, exponentially increasing the boundaries to end up carrying his bat for a well-deserved 124* as we finished up at 6/198cc, winning comfortably by 51 runs. Round 5 was one of the best wins of the home and away season. After looking down the barrel at 7/86 against a disciplined Box Hill attack, enter wunderkind Matthew Wilson. With great composure, he slowly compiled his innings and began to dominate the attack with Max O’Driscoll as they put on 71 for the 8th wicket. Wilson continued to rapidly accelerate as the innings came to a close, achieving his maiden century for OCC (117*) as we finished up at 9/238cc. This was one of the most measured (and chanceless) innings ever played for the 4th XI, as Box Hill could do nothing but watch on is disbelief as their valiant efforts hitherto were quickly distant memories. Our bowlers made easy work of the hapless Box Hill line up to remain unbeaten after five rounds. Round 6 against Brighton was a real let down given the juggernaut that we were for the first five rounds. After having them 6/85, we let them back into the game with a lack of intensity both with the ball and in the field. However, O’Driscoll’s control and turn (who could forget that wrong ‘un) prevented a huge chase, taking 5/32 as we dismissed them for 176. However, after being 2/84, our bats couldn’t follow through and we were caught short by 25 runs. This was disappointing,
43 made even more so as the Round 7 fixture for the 3s/4s was called off by the VSDCA due to extreme heat. The new year was heralded with a gutsy victory against the unpredictable Endeavour Hills, who blasted 196 from their allotted overs on their Barbecue Shape-sized ground. Dharmesh’s heroic 86 combined with the wily Brad Nicholson’s swashbuckling 45 got us to within two runs before a last ball boundary (another Jatin Shah special) sealed the win. A strong 51 from Chaps won the one dayer against Mount Waverley before both weeks of the Moorabbin game were unfortunately washed out. A clinical victory chasing Noble Park’s meagre 66 followed in the penultimate one dayer. The victory against Caulfield was not only satisfying on a team level, but also on an individual level. Darcy Burke continues to go from strength to strength in all facets of his game after announcing himself in that memorable semi final against Caulfield two seasons ago, and this was the pinnacle. Opening with Dharmesh, the pair put on 207 before Dharmesh was dismissed for 82, breaking the previously held Oakleigh 4th XI first wicket partnership of 176. Darcy continued on to 105, his maiden century for Oakleigh and a moment that we as a team have been waiting for in earnest. 5/272dec was always going to be a winning score, though our attempts at an unlikely outright were thwarted. The final home and away game was once again dominated by the Burke/Patel opening combination, who calmly chased Croydon’s 120 without breaking a sweat. This meant another finals campaign for the 4th XI, our eleventh in the last twelve years, playing Croydon inexplicably at Endeavour Hills. After Gary Iverson’s 5/15 decimated Croydon to 8/57, we let the young Croydon team back into it, finally securing the last two wickets for 126. Of course, it would not be a 4th XI finals series without the standard zeitgeist, as we slumped to 7/80. It was O’Driscoll (33*) who saw us home, working under immense pressure with the tail and securing the win with Iverson from a precarious 9/117. We played an experienced Brighton in the semi, who were put in on an uncertain Scammell wicket. This turned out to be the right decision, as the bowlers systematically dismantled a strangely fragile line up for 97, Iverson continuing his rich vein of form with 4/27. I’m unsure what was in his Kool-Aid, but Brighton’s J Jones singlehandedly turned our jubilation to horror by taking the first five wickets as we slumped to 5/6. Burke and Nicho took us to 64 before Darcy fell, and we finished the day poised to strike at 6/84. Eleven runs from the second over of the day (including a memorable pull shot from Aaron Lund) saw us pass the score without the loss of any further wickets, with Nicho (51) and Lund (38) the match winners in our score of 143. Brighton’s decision to throw the bat for a chance at the reverse outright was short lived, finishing at 6/28. For the third time in a row, the team had deservedly made it to a Grand Final, playing Bayswater at Scammell. Bayswater batted first on a slightly damp deck, and the bowlers did the job as a rampant Aaron Lund (4/24) and Gary Iverson (4/27) tore through the formidable line up to leave a shell shocked Bayswater all out for 102. Of course, capricious Fortuna provided a slight change in plans as we once again slumped to 4/23 overnight, and were unable to muster a final heroic saga to take the points, being all out for 68. We had no option but to go for the reverse outright, but after Iverson’s two early wickets, the game petered out to a Bayswater victory. Congratulations to Andrew Wheeler and his team for their efforts. It was fitting that in his last match, Allan Stamps was 1* with the bat and bowled the last over (a maiden) of the game with keeper and nine slips in a fitting tribute to Allan’s career, which has
44 been recognised by the VSDCA by honouring the best player of the South-East 3rd XI Grand Final with the Allan Stamps medal. Excellent form from the Bayswater lads to be part of the guard of honour after speeches were completed as well. Three Grand Finals in a row for three losses is very difficult to accept, especially this one where we had completely outplayed the opposition in the first innings and had plenty of batsmen in form. But good teams find a way to win, and they were better than us when it counted. Definitely lessons learnt there. But the exciting part of the year was definitely the continual development of quality juniors and young senior players, many of whom will hopefully play 1st XI cricket. Apart from those highlights mentioned earlier, a few other mentions: Darcy Burke – 282 runs @ 40 and 10 wickets @19; a deserved winner of the batting average and while we are all fans of Sue Burke’s scones, your time in the 4th XI is done Gary Iverson – 26 wickets @ 8; that 15 of these wickets came in finals shows the type of big game player that you are, thanks for your support on and off the field Dharmesh Patel – 399 runs @ 36, 25 catches with the gloves; an excellent season with both bat and gloves, thanks for your support and filling in during my absence The guys from higher elevens; the likes of Geoff Latham, Michael Cummings, Kobi Wallis, Matt Stamps, et al showed us why you’re in the higher elevens, but thanks for being willing to play in the lower grades to help us and the club Lastly, Allan Stamps – 512 games, just short of 950 wickets, where does the time go? I bet Sue knows. While it was unfortunate that we couldn’t send you off with a flag, you have been one of the smartest bowlers the club has ever seen, and your sense of competitiveness up to the last ball shows why you are respected by most other clubs as well as us. In addition, you’ve played as large a role as any with the development of many of the junior and senior players current and past at the club (sometimes whether we liked it or not!) Thanks for your support on and off the field, especially during this finals series. You will be missed in the dressing room…I mean who will players go to for a spare hat now? Thanks to all the players who have represented the 4th XI, all who have provided advice to me over the season, the selection committee, the OCC board, the junior coaches and all parents, families, wives and girlfriends. Well done to the 1s on winning the flag after two years of heartache. Until next year, Daryl Mendes - 4th XI Captain

49 T20 REPORT The Finals Series - The Outer Eye T20 Semi-Final OCC 5-123(Sam 69 Jex 25) d Croydon 9-115(Jordy 3-11)
Losing the toss and being sent in at Altona's 2nd ground, Croydon started with a maiden on a wicket doing plenty off the seam, unsurprising given the weather and preceding conditions. Sam got us going with a couple of 4s before Tricky swiped one to the deepest of deep extra cover, only to be caught on the boundary with the ball destined to go for 6. Jex joined Sam and was quiet early, Sam doing the bulk of the scoring.
After 5 overs we were 1-24, but were hitting downwind for the next 5. Croydon chose to bowl spinners at us in overs 6 and 7, and this may have been crucial, as both Sam and Jex towered 6s to produce consecutive overs of 14 and 15 as we raced to 1-68 off 10. The next 5 into the wind saw the end of Jex for a very useful 25 and we were 2-95 after 15 and looking to push on downwind in the last 5. Sam finally perished for an excellent 69, his second massive contribution for the weekend. Disappointingly we could muster just 3-28 off the last 5, unable to launch any long bombs aerially with the wind. Still 123 was going to take some getting with our bowling attack.
Spike and Tricky bowled the first 5 for just 0-16, which could have been better but for a grassed chance in the first over. Croydon improved to 2-51 after 10 courtesy of the wind, but after 15 were 5-72, needing 51 downwind off the last 5 to make the final. When the 16th over – bowled by the “ice-man” Jordy Brambleby, went for just 5, the fat lady was sighted. This proved premature however after the 17th went for 12. Jordys 2nd over was again superb, snaring two wickets and going for just 6.
Croydon needed 28 off 12 With Spike to bowl the 19thOCC supporters felt very comfortable, but a Croydon hitter got hold of two deliveries for big Zaks to set OCC heart rates accelerating madly as the over went for 18. With one over left Croydon needed just 10 to edge us out of a game we had looked to have won for most if not all of the 39 overs bowled. Jordy’s icy veins were barely stretched though as he delivered the perfect final over, 3 consecutive yorkers denying the Croydon striker any air to get under the ball. Croydon managed just 3 singles off the over, and we ran out winners by 8 runs in a game which somehow got a lot closer than it ever appeared it would.
So its off to yet another T20 GF for the mighty Oaks, our 6th appearance in the Grand Final in just seven seasons of T20 cricket. (In the other season we were narrowly beaten semi-finalists as well). The final is at a date and venue TBA, possibly Wednesday 10th, probably a central ground somewhere between Brunswick and Oakleigh like Balwyn Kew, Malvern Caulfield or Ivanhoe perhaps. We will wait and see.

“Our T20 Cups Runneth Over” from ‘The Outer Eye’
The mighty Oaks are T20 Champions. Again For an incredible 4th time in just 7 years, we have secured the Legends and Heroes T20 Cup, this time accounting for Brunswick easily in the decider, played serendipitously at our own Warrawee Park Oval on Tuesday.
After the scheduled final was delayed due to inclement weather at Altona, both finalists submitted proposals to host the game.
In their wisdom, the Subbies executive opted in our favour, and it was on a wintry Tuesday night that we played host for the big game.
The weather had done us no favours, with gale force winds blowing the covers off that morning, allowing an alarming amount of rain onto the pitch, which, even by game time, was still soft, not the ideal conditions for a final of any brand of cricket, least of all the crash and bash format of T20. Nevertheless, winning the toss and sticking to our tried and true format of batting first (surprisingly Brunswick would have chosen to bowl anyway) we set about trying to post a competitive score.
As early as 2 overs in, with BJ out and the score at 1-3, a total of 100 looked to be ultra- competitive. At 1-7 off 4, 80-90 was in the offing. But a big 5th over of 11 runs got us underway. Sam was soon runout to a sharp piece of fielding and direct hit, but we had got the scoreboard momentum ticking.
When Rabbs was adjudged LBW we were 3-41 off 9, Jex doing the bulk of the scoring, as is pretty much the norm for us these days... The crucial partnership formed, between Tricky and the in-form Jex who monstered a huge Zak near to the RSL to see us 3-52 off 10. If one or both of these two could bat deep, 100+ was right on the cards. Tricky’s innings began beautifully, 8 controlled singles from his first 8 balls faced, whilst Jex added another invaluable 4 as we went to 3-66 off 12. Brunswick then bowled 3 tight ones allowing us just 10 runs, leaving the contest interestingly poised at 3-76 with 5 overs remaining. The 16th over was crucial as both Jex and Tricky pulled impressive boundaries as we took 13 from it, but it cost us Jex’s wicket, bowled for a vital 41, 4-89 off 16.
JT came and went quickly, stumped by a good one from their leggie, but Pricey joined Tricky and got busy with a 2 first ball. Every single was a win for the batting side.
With 12 balls left we were 5-98 and headed for an above par total. Crucially, Tricky launched a big Zak from Brunswick skipper Dave McKay’s last ball (rubbing salt into the wound as McKay had earlier grassed a regulation chance from Tricky at point).
We took 10 from that over and importantly a further 9 off their Carlton import Stevenson’s last over, to total 5-117. This looked a very very large score on a soft slow wicket, with the outfield also slowed due to rain. Tricky finished with a tidy 32no, Pricey 8no in a very professional batting display by the boys in purple and gold.
With almost exactly a run a ball needed, Brunswick started their chase well enough, moving to 0-9 off 2. But our young veteran, the man with the whitest teeth in subbies, soon had those choppers dazzling in a wide smile as he claimed a wicket in the 3rd over courtesy of a great catch by Sam to a smoked on-drive. In over no5 Spike was smiling again as a false drive looped to Jordy to take a neat catch at mid-off to leave Brunswick 2-20 off 5. 2 danger men, McKay and Stevenson, were still left, but not for long, as JT lured McKay into going after a big
51 one with only his 2nd ball, managing only to hole out to Sam at long-off, 3-22 off 6. Bowling his 4th over straight, Spike sent the Oaks crowd into a frenzy when he induced a regulation nick off Stevenson’s outside edge, the catch gleefully accepted by Pricey. At 4-25 off 7 with all the Brunswick guns out, it was looking very very rosy for our boys. When Jordy bowled over no 9 and grabbed a wicket as well, any vestiges of Brunswick momentum were gone, such that the score read 5-38 off 10, 80 needed off the last 10 and this looked waaaay too many. Successive overs of 4, 6 and 4 saw Brunswick remain statistically viable, but the equation was getting bigger and bigger. When young Shawry bowled over no 14, Brunswick need 66 of 7. Following an injudicious reverse sweep that looped simply to Pricey and a 2nd pole in the same over , it was 7-55 and the fat lady had been sighted. With 5 overs left it was 7-62. An 8 run 16thover which included a boundary momentarily jangled OCC nerves, but a runout and just 4 runs from over no 17 proved the perfect tonic (8-74). With the game in the bag Jordy decided to set the Zinger Bails into action twice in over no 19, the deepening gloom allowing the bails to dance a very visible victory waltz for our boys. The game was iced as Brunswick fell for 90, an emphatic 27 run victory to the mighty Oaks.
With President Peter Webb observing on this inclement night that everyone looked “purple and cold” we was at least half correct as a sea of Purple and Gold descended on the victory ceremony to watch Subbies President Jack Sheehan hand the cup to skipper Rabbs With ceremonies over and speeches made, the team and supporters retired to the home rooms to hear a rousing rendition of the song. For the Oaks, a magnificent 4th T20 victory, and for JT, Rabbs, Jex and Sam, the envy of all having played in all 4 wins.
Celebrations went longer and harder than perhaps they should on a Tuesday night, but hey, you don’t win these things every day...Well perhaps with T20s, we do, but thats hardly the point. Our 2015/16 Premiership Dinner Entree has been served and well received by all, we can only hope that the main course in March is equally, if not more, tasty....

Oakleigh champion Ben ‘Spike’ Pinwill still going strong after breaking club first XI games record
February 8, 2016 2:30pm. Eamonn O’Molloy - Monash Leader IT MUST seem unfair to batsmen across subbies cricket, after 16 seasons of facing Ben Pinwill, that the Oakleigh champ is still going strong at 34. Pinwill, better known as Spike, broke the club record for first XI games on Saturday. It was his 237th match, one more than fellow club legend Ron Munyard. Spike marked the occasion in predictable style: with wickets. He took three, including one off the first ball of the day, as Oakleigh easily disposed of Sunshine at Dempster Park. That first ball got rid of Deakyn McIntyre, far from the first batsman to see c DN Junkeer, b BW Pinwill below his name on a scorecard.
Ben Pinwill on his way to taking a career-best 7-59 in a semi-final against Caulfield last season. The record-breaking game is as good a time to reflect on Pinwill’s career as any. It started when he chose Oakleigh over Mount Waverley to play Hatch Shield, simply because he made one club’s squad and not the other. Pinwill has been a one-club man since. He made his first XI debut at 16 and has been a mainstay of a gilded era, winning three premierships from seven grand finals. “I’ve just never seen any reason to leave, and I’ve probably got the record because other blokes went to Premier Cricket or somewhere else for at least a season or two,” he said. “But Subbies has always been my level.” Pinwill’s figures betray the fact that he is unduly modest. He has an amazing 357 wickets at 15.84 over 16 seasons. Better still for Oakleigh, at an age when some bowlers decline, all the evidence is that Pinwill’s outswing is, if anything, more productive than ever.

The right-hander took 57 wickets last term, highlights including a hat-trick and 11 wickets in a match against eventual premier Ormond and 7-59 in a semi-final against Caulfield. “It’s funny, I passed 50 wickets a few seasons ago (52 in 2009-10) and was sure I’d never do it again. But last year was one out of the box. I don’t do anything special but the wickets started to flow and then bowling seems easy.”
Pinwill says his team-mates and his relaxed approach are keys to his success. Picture: Chris Eastman His 23 wickets at 12.13 this season, excluding Twenty20 games, is not exactly shabby either. He says he has not changed much about his approach to provoke such form. “I feel very relaxed and I’m just enjoying my cricket,” he said. “I might have lost a bit of pace but I don’t think I was ever as fast as I probably thought I was when I was younger. I’ve long since accepted that I’m a genuine medium-pacer.” Pinwill says the pressure his teammates create plays a big part. Oakleigh is renowned more for relentless consistency than flash, particularly in its bowling. It is the continuation of a culture that now seems long engrained in the club. Pinwill has seen enough summers to remember when things were different. “When I started out, we were struggling, getting two or three wins a year,” he said. “There was a definite culture change that probably started with David Hampton, and a little bit of luck when Monash disbanded and we got a lot of players. That put us on the right track. Peter Webb becoming president and Graeme Vimpani becoming coach were crucial as well.” Jarrod Travaglia’s captaincy accelerated the process. Oakleigh started to win and has not stopped. Pinwill counts his fortune at being part in friendships rather than medals. Travaglia is one of his best mates and Daniel Junkeer (“a big part of my cricket”) among the players he has soldiered the longest with. Then there is Michael Allen, the Splatts and countless others. The long list of team-mates encompasses players now in their 50s down to teenagers such as Jordan Brambleby, who has joined him in the attack. “I remember when I started, the blokes who were 30-plus didn’t treat me as a kid and taught me a lot, about life as much as cricket,” he said. “Some of those guys are in their 50s now but we’re still great mates, we’ll still meet up for a game of golf. I love that about cricket.” That circle is neatly completed with Pinwill now the mentor. He is enjoying the game and playing well enough to want to continue beyond this term. The support of his family is crucial. He travels from Berwick to play and has twin girls and a boy all aged under three. They were there to witness his landmark game on Saturday. His wife Carly makes the balancing act of cricket, day-to-day life and a young family look easier than it is. “That’s the key thing, we sit down every year and figure it out. I’m enjoying it as much as ever so if they feel I can keep going, I will.” More bad news for batsmen.
57 VSDCA’S YOUNG CRICKETER OF THE YEAR AWARD (THE ANTHONY GALE AWARD) AWARDED TO OUR OWN JORDAN BRAMBLEBY After a breakout season in our First Eleven, the Oakleigh Cricket Club Committee decided to nominate Jordan Brambleby for this prestigious award.
Jordan’s career at Oakleigh has steadily progressed from his early days in our Under 11s in 2005/06. His junior playing record stretches from then until 2011/12 with numerous batting and bowling trophies (nine in total), representative honours, captaincy, and selection in Pathway teams such as the Breakers U16 and the Scorpions Under 18 teams .
Jordan’s senior cricket performances include winning the Second Eleven bowling average in 2013/14 and opening the bowling in the Matthew Naughtin lead Second Eleven Premiership team in 2014/15.
Jordan has been a fine clubman and last season was an assistant coach to Ryan Chapple for our Under 15 Craig team.
Following is an extract from our successful nomination.
Dear Ken, Please find herewith the formal Oakleigh Cricket Club nomination for the Anthony Gale Medal. After a taste of the top level with 4 x First XI matches over the past three seasons, Jordan completed a strong pre-season and was rewarded with selection from the opening round versus Williamstown. He quickly rewarded the selectors faith as the below statistics and personal accounts from our senior on-field leaders will attest. As the main death bowler and an integral strike bowler in the ‘best attack’ in arguably the toughest group in VSDCA history we strongly endorse Jordan to follow on a rich tradition of well-credentialed winners and be honoured with the coveted Anthony Gale Medal for “Young Player of the Year” in season 2015/16.
Player’s name: Jordan Brambleby DOB: 16/10/1996 Batsman/Bowler/All Rounder: Bowler
2015/16 Pennant Competition: First XI Matches – 15 Wickets – 28 (Average 14.36; Strike Rate 28.68) Best Figures – 4/10 vs. Elsternwick (4/22 in QF vs. Ormond, 2/0 in SF vs. Yarraville, & 1/38
58
Best Score – 32* vs Werribee (31 run 10th wicket partnership), 25* vs Ormond (45 run 10th wicket partnership)
2015/16 T20 Twilight Competition: First XI Matches – 4 Wickets – 8 (Average 9.00; Strike Rate 9.75) Best Figures – 3/11 (Semi Final vs. Croydon), 3/17 (Grand Final vs. Brunswick)
Brendan McGuinness, Club Coach, opined: “I think the fact that he's played every game in our 1's is enough of an endorsement! Best bowling attack going around! And he was a handy contributor with both bat and ball”. While Brent Warren, Club Captain, offered the following: “He successfully made the jump from 2XI to first 1XI cricket and consistently proved his ability to match it with the best, he quickly became our best bowler at the end of the innings with his ability to hold his nerve and bowl exceptional areas and was often the difference in us winning our close games by either taking wickets or limiting runs. A great young man with a bright future in cricket”. Thanks for your consideration, Trent Shields (OCC Vice President)
59 RETIREMENT OF JARROD TRAVAGLIA Jarrod Travaglia’s contribution to the Oakleigh Cricket Club is not something that can be adequately reflected in one page of writing. There are the statistics, which will stand alongside the greats in the history of our club. However when we reflect, in many years to come, those that were around for this golden period of the Oakleigh Cricket Club will still marvel at his contribution to the ‘whole club’ and not just his on field heroics.
Ten seasons ago Jarrod was announced as the 1st XI captain. He was young, with a strong premier career behind him, having played with some giant names of district cricket and performed on the biggest stage winning a John Scholes medal in a triumphant premiership for Fitzroy Doncaster. His background for Sub District cricket was very, very good. At the time we thought we were signing an opening quick bowler and middle to lower order bat.
Four matches into his time at Oakleigh we had found a new superstar bat who bowled left arm ‘off spin’. That first year saw many experienced players retire or move on to new clubs’, this naturally had players and supporters guarding their expectations with the prospect of a mini rebuild.
Yet the way Jarrod ‘rallied the troops’ that first year to finish the season minor premiers, in my opinion, could be viewed as one of his most successful seasons. Unfortunately we lost the semi-final that season by one wicket in an absolute ‘nail-biter’, yet everyone could see that Jarrod was going to lead our club to imminent success.
As a captain Jarrod immediately instilled his brand of cricket on the club and in particular, the firsts. His plan was to play hard disciplined cricket and aiming to be the best fielding side in the competition, this was quickly achieved. Though he expected much from his players he was a very measured captain. In his 8 years leading the 1stXI I cannot remember a moment when he spoke negatively to a player or publicly cursed a mistake. “No one ever means to drop a catch or misfield, it is how you respond when you get your next opportunity” was his consistent message. This message was always delivered with a hard edge to ensure individuals continued to strive to improve but also provided great confidence for those playing under him.
Jarrod’s leadership is something that I doubt we will see replicated at Oakleigh Cricket Club, nor should it ever be expected. As a captain he was a club captain in its most literal sense and as a coach he was a players’ coach. The senior players would do anything for him, whilst the younger players simply wanted to be him.
At training he would often make the younger players stand up and address the whole playing group after a strong individual performance. This always provided great entertainment for the group, watching nervous young men retell stories from the previous weekend, it most likely had a greater motive. It ensured everyone player, regardless of age or ability, were involved, extroverted and buying into the goals we had all set together.

As mentioned earlier, Jarrod’s playing career will stand up alongside the greats of our club and the VSDCA competition. Regularly he led the 1st XI batting with and average well above 40 and on three occasions he finished the season with an average comfortably above 50. It is even more impressive the manner in which he made those runs. He fought hard, he remained patient, he valued his wicket and he always led from the front. Thirty-one times he raised his bat to acknowledge 50 and on four occasions he passed 100, with a highest score of 124 in 2011/12. For much of his 10 years his bowling was almost equally important, taking 127 wickets at 19.02, always closing down an end and making it very difficult for the opposition to score.

I know that JT however would view his greatest on field successes as those achieved as a team. The three 1st XI premierships, four T20 flags, 7 Grand Final appearances, ten consecutive finals campaigns have created many fond memories and amazing celebrations.
The greatest personal accolade that can be given to a person at any club is that of Life Membership. Jarrod received this honour in what proved to be quite extraordinary circumstances given the short time he had been at the club. However his impact was just that… Extraordinary! Coach, Captain, social coordinator, sponsor just to name a few. The hours spent doing covers, recruiting, rolling wickets, running the ‘Lobster Club’, doing extra throwdowns for others went far beyond what would be expected of any leader. Having his name on the Life Member’s honour board was richly deserved.
Congratulations Jarrod on a remarkable cricket career, a career that most could only dream of. Your impact at Oakleigh has been second to none and all your teammates have walked taller in your presence. Great friendships have been created, many of which will last a lifetime. I know you will not be lost to the club and your interest and involvement will be just as strong in the future. I thank you personally for all you have done for me over the years and what you have done for the club that we all love. Congratulations again JT, a MIGHTY OAK!

61 IN THE 500 CLUB, STAMPS CALLS STUMPS ON HIS LONG CAREER
When Allan Stamps completed his 300th cricket match; he was left alone to clean out the change rooms. When he completed his 400th match, a post-match examination of the record books revealed that it was in fact only his 399th. When Allan finished his 500th match however, his club, family and friends gathered for a special celebratory function honouring his immense contribution to the game. On the eve of his 500th cricket match, Allan Stamps drove down Guest Road to check on the state of W.A. Scammel Reserve. Allan grew up less than a kilometre from the Oakleigh South ground, and would often drive down the night before a game to make sure things were in order. This is just one of the regular tasks he has been doing for Oakleigh Cricket Club for over 30 years. As Allan pulled up, he noticed an unusual amount of activity on the field. Oakleigh’s Junior Cricket Co-coordinator, and fellow 4th grade player Gary Iverson had organised a tribute to Allan painted onto the grass. It read “Allan Stamps. 500 Games” painted in the purple and gold club colours and next to his beloved Oakleigh’s logo. Allan was honoured but embarrassed at the gesture, and even more so that he had accidently discovered it. The next day Allan made an effort to act surprised when he arrived at the ground, but not much happens at Oakleigh that gets past old Al Stamps. It has taken Allan Stamps 45 years to reach this remarkable milestone. His 500 career matches, spanning from junior cricket to the Sub-District Competition’s 1st Grade, have all been for Oakleigh Cricket Club. “I think it’s a great game and Oakleigh is a great club,” says Stamps. Allan has lived in or around Oakleigh for nearly all his life. “When I was a kid there was an expectation that blokes played footy and cricket. That’s what you did.” He has done it ever since. It hasn’t always been smooth sailing for Stamps, who endured a lean period of success at Oakleigh during the latter part of the 20th century. “While the club was not successful for quite some time through my formative years, it contained mates.” “Regardless of not winning, people still played hard and to win. I’ve not been one to hop from cricket club to cricket club when things get hard.” Given that, one might assume that it is Oakleigh’s recent successes that have motivated Allan to play on. But it was never all about that for him. “I like the challenge of bowling a cricket ball.” He has also enjoyed the evolving challenges of the game. “I’ve really always enjoyed the physicality, running around, I’m a pretty physical sort of person,” but recent years have seen him adapting his style.
62
“I was no longer bowling quick but I was still bowling well, and just getting different things out of the game.” “With a new generation coming through you see things in a different light. You enjoy the respect. Most blokes call me the ‘Fossil’ with respect and I enjoy that.” Allan has worked in banking most of his adult life but admits that work was never a driving passion. He has often prioritised the cricket club over his work life, taking days off work when things needed to get done at the club. The cricket club has had a massive influence on his life, but Allan denies that it has defined him. “I have those same sort of principals that I would take anywhere, I don’t think the cricket club has (defined me). I think my family history has defined how I think. I’m very much my father’s son.”
As much as he is a cricketer, Allan is also known around the club as a family man. He and his wife Sue have two children, Matthew and Rebecca. 26-year-old Matthew was lucky enough to take to the field with Allan in his 500th match. Also a talented fast bowler, Matt is a regular contributor in the club’s 2nd and 3rd grade teams. “That was real privilege. It was very special,” says Matt. “I think everyone sort of models themselves on what their Dad does a little bit when they grow up. What I can remember of Dad when he used to bowl quick, seeing him charging in, it was always something that I wanted to do as well.” Matt, who himself has played 131 games for Oakleigh, admitted that it was the most nervous he’s ever been before a game of cricket. “I just wanted everything to go well for him, and to get the win. I’m quite in awe of him and how he has managed to play that much cricket, especially as a bowler,” he said. 500 games. 941 wickets. 45 seasons. 41949 balls bowled. He is the first Oakleigh player to reach such a milestone. Allan’s proudest playing memory with his son is of a match where he and Matt were responsible for all 10 wickets in one innings. Matt took six wickets, Allan three, with the tenth wicket involving a sprightly 50-year-old Allan running a batsman out with a direct hit throw onto the stumps. “We have the scorecard framed in the bar at home. It’s definitely something we are both very proud of,” recalls Matt.
63 Stamps’ career is full of highlights, including playing 59 games over 16 years for Oakleigh’s 1st Eleven team, where he was the club’s fast opening bowler. One of his fondest memories was taking 10 wickets in one match against Ivanhoe in the 1st Eleven in season 1979/80. Another moment Allan holds dear is his one and only Victorian Sub-District Cricket Association (VSDCA) Premiership. It took him a long time, winning it in season 2008/2009, in his 38th season. Allan took 4 wickets in the winning final, playing a significant part in the win. But it isn’t only Allan’s on field achievements that the club will remember him for. As many great clubmen before him, his off field contributions were called “equally incredible” by Oakleigh President Peter Webb. Over his 45 seasons, Allan has been on the club’s board for 28 years, in various roles including Secretary, Vice President and Public Officer. Webb, who has known and played alongside Allan since primary school together in the late 1960’s, said that while Allan isn’t the best player the club has ever seen, he cannot question his overall importance. “In terms of Allan’s durability and commitment to the cause, and his love for the purple and gold, he’s number one.” Allan cringes and gives a shake of the head when called a legend of the game; it’s a mantle that doesn’t always sit well with him. When he recently got a call from VSDCA Secretary Ken Hilton to tell him that the medal for the best player in the South/East 3rd XI Grand Final had been named the Allan B. Stamps Medal, he was taken aback. “I felt really good, it’s pretty fantastic really.” Allan says modestly, it clearly means a lot to him. With a career batting average of 9.1, it’s pretty safe to assume that when Allan came out to bat in his 500th game, the Elsternwick opposition weren’t too worried. Nevertheless, Stamps recalls one of the best ‘sledges’ he’s ever received to put him off his game. As Allan walked out to bat, Elsternwick 4th Eleven Captain David Long stopped his side to acknowledge him. Despite Allan’s protests, Long addressed his side, saying, “you’re in the presence of a legend of our game”. It moved Allan, so much so that he lost focus on his batting and was out a few minutes later. Despite this, Oakleigh managed to comfortably win Allan’s 500th match, with Allan and his son opening the bowling together. Oakleigh Club sponsor, the South Oakleigh Club, then hosted a private function honouring Allan’s achievements, where both Matthew Stamps and Peter Webb gave tributes.
After finishing out the 2015/16 season, reaching a total of 512 games, Allan has decided to hang up his well-worn cricket boots. In his time as a local cricketer, Allan Stamps has experienced it all. Forty-five seasons for his beloved Oakleigh Cricket Club has left him a crippled left knee, but decades of memories, friends, and an unbelievable career record. Well- played Allan. Miles Fabris

75 JUNIOR COORDINATOR’S REPORT In 2015/16 the OCC Junior Club fielded 10 teams in various age groups within the ISEC competition (2 x U11, 3 x U13, 1 x U15 and 2 x U17, plus 2 teams in the new T20 competitions - 1 x U13 and 1 x U18). We also fielded our Craig Shield team in the VSDCA J.G.Craig program. Additionally OCC had approximately 30 kids participate in our Milo in2cricket program. This equates to approximately 150 young cricketers engaged with the OCC. Of our 10 junior teams, the 2 x U11 teams do not play for points, of our remaining 8 teams, 5 made the finals, with 3 of those teams making their respective Grand Finals. Well done to all teams, in particular the U18 T20 team who were premiers.
Congratulations to the 7 players selected to compete in representative teams this season: ISEC Rep Teams – Jack Iverson, Zac Raymond, Jake Wilson, Daniel Shaw CV Pathway Teams – Matt Wilson, James McPhee VSDCA JG Craig – Patrick Edmundson Congratulations to the 2 players who won ISEC averages or aggregates: Rish Sircar – U13 Friday Batting Seb Tusan – U15 Sunday Bowling This year we had some senior players helping out the juniors, whether it be talking to the kids as a group, or simply coming to training and helping the kids out. Special thanks to Jarrod Travaglia and Allan Stamps. A big thank you to all the Coaches – Ed Soldati, John Reid, Ron Ferdinands, Rob Chetwin, Simon Corcoran, Shane Cashman, Gary Ryan, David Vapp, and John Doig. A great job! Thanks to all who helped manage teams, scored, entered results on mycricket, setup up stumps, marked out boundaries, and helped out at training. Thanks to the parents who have again kept the OCC as the benchmark for morning teas! This season OCC has formed a close relationship with TNF and Young Gun Cricket, new cricket indoor high performance centre only a few hundred metres from our base. TNF provided some development sessions for the kids and also facilitated a ‘dads’ session to help parents give the kids the right advice. This has been a terrific initiative. We have also started winter development programs with TNF which should help kids progress in their cricket. John Delaney took on the Milo Co-ordinators job and did a fantastic job of facilitating the Milo in2cricket program over 8 Sunday mornings across the summer. John was ably assisted by parents including 2 OCC legends in Daniel Junkeer and Marcus Spencer. Well done John the kids had a ball. Thank you to the OCC Board and for their support and guidance this season. Finally, this season OCC again won the ISEC Most Efficient Club Award. This was back to back for the OCC! The award recognises diligence in data facilitation and adherence to the Spirit of Cricket. For this I would like to thank all our mycricket team, coaches, and in particular Roly, who pours over data each week to make sure we are meeting our requirements. Gary Iverson - Junior Co-ordinator

79 J.G.CRAIG UNDER 15 REPORT With a good preseason behind us we had picked a great group of boys to represent the Oakleigh Cricket Club in the J.G. Craig carnival for 2016. Having a good mix of pace and spin bowlers to go with a talented batting line up, we felt confident that we could do well over the carnival. Setting goals and talking about game plans the boys were ready and raring to go. I wish to sincerely thank Hayden Joyce, Rob Howes, Jordan Brambleby, Richard Blaze and Roly Williams for their outstanding work in assisting me in the preparation of the team. The support from the parents and friends group was unbelievable; the boys were all well- mannered, which is testament to the way they have been raised. Thank you for the scoring, cold water, lunches, catering, photographs, driving, positive support and faith. It was fantastic how everyone came together and worked so well. I also wish to acknowledge John Doig who was the head coach last year, thank you for all your words of support. Thank you as well to Allan Stamps and Peter Webb for all your encouragement for myself over the whole time involved this year. On behalf of the President of the Oakleigh Cricket Club, Peter Webb and Committee of Management, we thank you for coming to our Club, embracing our culture, playing the game in the spirit that is intended. Ryan Chapple Craig Coach 2015/16

U18 ISEC T20 CHALLENGE PLATE REPORT
The Inner South East Cricket (ISEC) competition launched its inaugural Under 18 T20 Challenge Plate. The competition included three rounds against Mulgrave Wheelers Hill/East Malvern Toorak (Oakleigh won by 8 wickets), Waverley Blue (Oakleigh won by 22 runs) and the Toorak-Prahran Trakkers (Oakleigh won by 4 runs) , followed by a Grand Final for the top two teams.
Oakleigh remained undefeated for the entire competition and won the title in a hard fought game against the Toorak-Prahran Trakkers by 3 wickets.
Eighteen young men represented the club throughout the competition and included Luke Rhodes (Captain), Daniel Shaw (Vice-Captain), Dylan Brambleby (Deputy Vice Captain), Matt Corrie, Jarryd Raffa, David McCarthy, James Duckett, Harry Stanhope, Ruergan Braganza, Will Taylor, Zac Raymond, Jacob White, Jake Wilson, Nick Noone, Liam Sherlock, Max O’Driscoll, Praveen Paranagama, and Thomas Newstead.
Thirteen bowlers were used with 12 of them capturing at least one wicket. Harry Stanhope claimed 6 wickets including 5/15 in the first game, and Jacob White claimed 5 wickets including 3/18 in Game 3.
Dylan Brambleby (125) and Daniel Shaw (112) were our top run scorers for the competition with Jarryd Raffa (82) and Luke Rhodes (79) also making important contributions. All four young men made individual scores of 40+ with Daniel Shaw having the top score of 52no.
The squad’s fielding was a highlight with 15 of the squad either taking at least one catch or being involved in a stumping or run out. It was a terrific team effort!
A special thank you to Matt Stanhope and Marty O’Driscoll for scoring and for Roly Williams’ off field support. We would also like to acknowledge Mt Waverley Uniting for the generous access they provided to their rooms.
We also appreciate Jarrod Travaglia’s advice and support throughout the competition.
All involved should be proud that we were able to gain the first silverware for the club in season 2015-2016.
Gary Ryan and John Doig Co-Coaches

85 UNDER 17 HOLTEN
In the preseason the club decided to honour the names of two of our greatest club players, Val Holten and Jarrod Travaglia, to be the team names the two Oakleigh U17 elevens. The other good news was that our home games would be played at DW Nicholl Reserve, Warrawee Park! The Holten team was blessed with so much all-round cricket talent, most of the boys backed up from last year premiership winning year. Joining us was Sam Edmundson, Zac Raymond, Jake Wilson and Sam Vance all good cricketers in their own right. After the 10 home and away rounds we were undefeated. We did particularly well in the 24 over one day games racking up scores of 4/144cc in Round 1, 7/149cc Round 7 & 5/202 Round 10. In many games we were seriously challenged by the opposition (and in a bit of bother), however, one or two individuals stood up and steadied the innings to get us to a competitive score. I was particularly impressed by a 52 from Patrick Edmundson in round 3 and a last wicket partnership of 46 between Chris Galanos & Jacob White in Round 6, rear-guard batting at its best .
The players really enjoyed the game against the Oakleigh Travaglia team, the intensity levels were high and the contest was played right out to the end. For me, our best effort from the team was in Round 2, with only 9 available players on day one we scored exactly 200 (Matt Corrie 68, Nick Thurgood 40 & Dylan Brambleby 36). On day 2 and only 8 in the field we kept Mulgrave to 148, Jake Wilson taking a fabulous 6/24 to inspire the team to victory. The Finals We had a tough finals series; we got a real scare in the semi-final with a tie against Mulgrave. Then we copped unfavourable conditions in the Grand Final, regardless we were well and truly outplayed by Premiers, Mount Waverley. It was our first loss as a team in two years. A bitter pill to swallow, yet the reality of playing finals cricket makes one stronger & tougher in the long run. Batting Highlights: Luke Rhodes 71* in 6 overs, 51 & 30; Matt Wilson 72*, 57; Matt Corrie, 68, 37, 34 & 27; Nick Thurgood 40, 46*; Dylan Brambleby 36, 44; Patrick Edmundson 52 & 29*.

89 UNDER 17 TRAVAGLIA REPORT
Coming off a premiership in the squad’s last year of U15 brought a lot of confidence to the start of the 2015/2016 season. That said, none of the boys were ‘top age’ players, so it was going to be an interesting season as most of the boys had never played a full season on turf before.
New players to the club included James McPhee, a talented wicketkeeper and batsman. Charlie McGaw returned to cricket and Ruergan Braganza was reunited with many of his friends from Mazenod.
Training attendance was good throughout the season, but losing Captain Liam Ryan at the start of the season due to a stress fracture, put the boys behind the eight-ball somewhat as we only had 11 players in the squad to start with. Michael Abeyratne was also away overseas for the majority of the first half of the season.
We were fortunate to have Chris Noone, Ryan Pearce, Brendan Wales and Dylan Brambleby fill in for us throughout the season. Thank you boys as you all made valuable contributions.
We had a funny sort of season where we only completed 5/10 games. We had two byes, two wash-outs and a heat-out. While we defeated the eventual Premiers (Mt Waverley Blue), were in a very good position against Mt Waverley White (before the game was washed out), we lost narrowly to Oakleigh Holten by eight runs, coupled with poor performances against MHSOB and Mulgrave, cost us a spot in the finals. In all honesty, we probably didn’t deserve to make the finals although we may well have given it a shake if we had because we never really hit our straps throughout the season. Bring on next season!
Our batting never lived up to expectations, but special mentions must go to Jarryd Raffa who won the batting average award, James McPhee, Thomas Newstead (who proved to be a revelation as an opening batsman), Ruergan Braganza, Harry Stanhope and Max O’Driscoll, who all may scores of 20 and above and/or were involved in significant partnerships throughout the season. Our bowling was well led by Charlie McGaw, who won our bowling average award, Max O’Driscoll, Liam Sherlock, Thomas Newstead, Harry Stanhope and Nick Noone, with all of these bowlers getting three or more wickets for the season.
Thank you to Matt Stanhope for doing the majority of scoring, Marty O’Driscoll for scoring, Rob Raffa for umpiring, everyone for helping with the covers, the mums and families led by Bernie McPhee in supplying our wonderful morning teas and for setting up and clearing the social rooms.
Finally, a big thank you to Gary Iverson (Junior Co-ordinator), Peter Webb (President), John Doig (U17 Holten Coach) and Roly Williams (living legend) for your ongoing support throughout the year.
Gary Ryan Coach

UNDER 15 PURPLE REPORT With only 4 second year players and the first year players coming off a patchy last season, it could have been a tough year for the Oakleigh under 15’s. One of the main things we needed to work on was the boys backing themselves and getting some confidence back into their game. When all was said and done the boys had a successful season with 5 wins, 1 draw, 3 losses, played in finals and hopefully had a lot of fun along the way. The boys voted for captain / vice captain with Shaun Vapp getting the top job and Ethan Sherlock proving a great choice as backup. After the first game it was discovered that Shaun had a stress fracture in his back and would miss several games. At this stage we asked Ethan with the help of Sebastian Tusan to take on the captain’s role until Shaun could return. Ethan did a fantastic job as captain, setting fields, working out the bowling changes as well as doing the keepers job for the season. Well done Ethan!!! Shaun returned from injury in round 7 with a great 46 run innings and more importantly getting through the game with no pain. Congratulations to Shaun who went on to win the batting title for the team from only 7 games played. Looking at the stats we had the second highest runs total of 1411 which comes as no surprise as 7 of our team scoring 100 plus runs for the season. Some of the standouts being Seb Tusan 205 @ 25.63, Shaun Vapp 157 @ 31.40, Vish Ravindrababu 167 @ 20.88, Ethan Sherlock 156 @ 22.29, Jay Matthews 121 @ 24.2 On the bowling side we had the highest wickets taken of 73 and everybody managed to get amongst them. Jay Matthews had a breakout year with a career best of 3 wickets for 13 runs and winning the bowling title with figures of 13 wickets @ 7.31 of 46.2 over’s. Some of the other great efforts being Nicholas Thomas 8 w @ 9.5, Seb Tusan 13 w @ 13, Joseph Burke 12 w @ 13.08, Daniel O’Driscoll 6 w @ 13.5, Harry Ryan 10 w @ 14.7. With such great bowling it was no surprise that we came first with the fewest runs against at 951 and the boys will have an impressive bowling line-up in the under 15’s next season. Heading into the finals we did a month’s worth of extra batting practice every Saturday for several hours. We had great turn outs with big improvements demonstrated in boys like Ethan Sherlock, Patrick McNally, Will Cameron and Fletcher Ford. These boys should be commended for their extra effort as I am sure it will pay them back with a great return next season. Big thanks to Marty O’Driscoll for assistant coaching plus all the advice and support he provided through the season. Thanks to Andrew Thomas for making my life easier by taking on the manager role and scoring as well. Special thanks to Sarah for scoring as always! Many thanks to all the families that gave great support to the kids this season and providing afternoon tea for all the home games. David Vapp Coach

95 UNDER 13 GOLD REPORT It has been an honor to be the coach of the Under 13 Gold Team this season. The boys found to play at this level of cricket introduced them to new challenges. Bowlers found that all bad balls were hit to the boundary and batsmen found there were less bad balls to hit. The boys have worked very hard this year to develop their overall skills and better their understanding of the game. To their credit on many occasions opposition coaches would applaud our boys on the way they conducted themselves and played the game both on and off the field.
We have had a very successful season. We finished just outside the top four and were always in the hunt to play finals. Each week the opposition had a player named ‘EXTRAS’ who always seemed to play a major part in our games. To lose a few games by eight, twelve and twenty-five runs were disappointing and costly at the end of the season. A very special thanks to all the parents in supporting me as the coach and especially in helping out with team duties. Our morning teas were always the envy of opposition clubs but a special mention must be made to Eddie Soldati, Dilum De Silva and Jeff Fortune who helped with game day duties each week. Things I will remember: Sid Fortune: 10 wickets for the season, Ave 8.3. Batting – 110 runs; Those beautiful shots square of the wicket. His development as being a demon fast bowler. Jai Mangos: a bowler who knows that a good line and length will always reap reward. 2/2 against Caulfield. A great team player. Harry Chen: Round 3 against Caulfield scored 22 runs; Bowled with a lot more pace this year and will continue to improve. Havan Jani: Outstanding first season of cricket. Bowls with great pace and has learnt how to have greater control over his deliveries. Batting continues to improve and was a great asset to our team. Ethan Delaney: a real asset to our team. Very handy wicketkeeper/batman. 110 runs for the season. A batman who applied himself to all situations with maturity. Got a handy 2/2 in round 9. Diyon De Silva: 144 runs; Ave 72; 8 wickets for the season. Best 3/0. His ability to read the game and understand what the team needs from him. Great all rounder. Ashwin Metha: 144 runs; Ave 28; highest score 32 no in Round 5. His wagon wheel shows how he loved to play the ball behind square on the leg side. Xavier Soldati: 144 runs; Ave 36; 7 wickets for the season. A great all rounder and earned the respect from all opposition sides. Bowled with great consistency. Matthew Noone: A handy player who always gave his best out in the middle. Round 1 top scored against Mackie with 18 runs. Shows promise as spin bowler and will capture more wicket with more practice. Scott Fisher: His brilliant fielding; 29no in Round 3 against Caulfield. A player with great strength who can change the game. Our ‘X factor’. Ethan Konstanty: A team player. Came each week even though he was injured. His return to competitive cricket after Christmas. That classic catch he took in the gully against Caulfield. I wished we had him all year. Dane Ferdinands: Handy wicket keeper, Took 8 wickets for the season and 2/5 against Murrumbeena. Handy batsman who took on the bowling. Never took a backward step. Thanks boys for a great season 1……2……3……Go Oakleigh!!!!!!! Ron Ferdinands

97 UNDER 13 PURPLE REPORT It was a rare privilege for me to coach such an exceptional group of young men this season. These boys are a credit to themselves and their parents and we are all very proud of how they applied themselves both on and off the field. A huge thank you to all the parents who assisted with scoring, ground set up and morning teas. Without your help it would have made my job impossible. Special mention to Simon Fisher for arranging the scorers each week and most importantly - bringing the cordial .
As with every team sport there are varying levels of ability but all our boys endeavor and commitment to the team ideology was exceptional. They took on board all the instructions and tips that were given to them by myself and other coaches and it was clearly evident that they wanted to improve as both individuals and as a team and they gave 100% week in and week out.
The season in review was one of varying success with some early losses followed by 5 straight wins (with one drawn game due to the heat rule in between) and then we dropped off a bit at the end leading into the finals. We were still confident that if we played our best cricket, we would be in the mix against the likes of Toorak-Prahran and East Malvern-Tooronga.
Lining up against East Malvern-Tooronga in the semi final we knew we were in for a tough battle but, having beaten them recently in a one dayer, we knew we had a great chance. Unfortunately, we struggled to get a decent total playing on one of the slowest grounds I’ve ever seen, but full credit to the opposition who fielded and bowled exceptionally well (albeit with a number of dropped catches) and made it very hard to turn the strike over.
With only 72 runs to defend it was always going to be a struggle but our boys showed guts and determination beyond their years to make the opposition fight for every run. It took East Malvern-Tooronga until the 40th over to pass us and not until the last couple of overs did anyone watching from the sidelines think that we didn’t have a chance of causing a major upset. The boys learnt two very important lessons from that game which I hope they will carry with them throughout their cricket journey. Firstly, that you are never ever out of a chance of winning a game until the end and secondly, pressure in the field makes batsmen make mistakes so don’t just focus on improving your batting and bowling but spend as much time becoming a great fielder.

99 UNDER 13 BLUE REPORT This season was one of great promise and excitement with some disappointment. We had a team of twelve boys, seven going into their second year of under 13’s and five who were new comers to the age group.
We started off the year in B grade, some of the more mature and experienced players dominating in the first part of the season. After winning our first three matches easily we were persuaded to move from B to A grade.
We started off with good spirit in our first “A” grade game against Murrumbeena Gold, batting first we scored 206 with Will Iverson scoring 80 not out with a personal best. We looked set to win, we were positive, but on the day we fielded it bucketed down with rain. This resulted in dropped catches and misfields on a fast wet ground, the impossible happened, we lost. “That’s cricket!” Our next few games had us playing some of the top sides, though we did some great Bowling/fielding, we lacked the urgency at making runs and batting out our innings.
We still had a chance to make the finals but we needed to win our last two matches. Playing Mount Waverly White the tension was nerve racking, it was a game the whole side lifted and we almost stole. Even though we lost it was a 70 run improvement from the previous time we played them. The last game against Toorak/Prahran Colts went to the wire as well and we bowled one of our tightest games of the year. It all looked good the game was intense, I put the best batting side in and let them bat until they went out or retired, (something I’ve been reluctant to do because of individual development).
That being said many of the boys had a great year all round Reshabh Sircar, Tom Cashman, Will Iverson, Xavier Soldati, Deon De Silver, and Luke Ajani, showed great consistency with bat and ball.
Will, Xavier, Luke and James Nimos had a P.B. with the bat with Amos and Thenuka just falling short of their P,B.S. James Harper, Thomas McMahon and Eddie Venn had P.B. in their number of wickets taken for this season.
I would like to thank our extra players who filled in for when we were short of players. A big thanks to Lachie Stewart, Ethan Delaney, Tom Reid and Jack Iverson (who also helped out in scoring). I would also like to thank the parents for the great food contributing to the game, by umpiring scoring and rallying behind the boys through thick and thin. The assistance on match day and training was much appreciated.
Special thanks to Alanna Team manager and scoring, Dillum De Silva, Umpiring/scoring, Greg Ajani, Ants, Louise McMahon Mary Harper and Jack Iverson for scoring. Gary Iverson, Shailendra Sircar, Russel Harper and Lasantha Perera for assistance with the boys and setting/packing up and various other duties.
Coach: Eddie Soldati

UNDER 13 T20 REPORT This year the boys were given the challenge to represent the club in a talent based T20 competition, spots on the team were fiercely contested with a group emerging who were committed to represent the mighty Oaks and play hard against some handy opposition. The competition allowed for 3 home and away games, followed by a one off Grand Final. Notable mentions are as follows: Game 1 vs Glen Waverley, the boys won by 60 runs: Will Iverson showing his skill by peeling off 49 runs whilst ably supported by the ever cool Lachie Stewart with 40. The wickets were spread amongst the boys with Keeper Ethan Delaney taking the highlight with a sensational run out. Game 2 vs Emmanuel South Oakleigh, the boys won by plenty: Jack Iverson taking the honours with a magnificent 92. Jack hit it everywhere and totally dominated proceedings. Eaman Mckenzie completed the Oakleigh domination with 52 not out including some big long hitting. Oakleigh hit up 176 with our bowlers keeping it super tight, keeping the opposition to 46 runs, it doesn’t get better than that. Game 3 vs Mt Waverley, the boys went down: With the boys safely through to the final the team was thrown around for this game. Mt Waverley made a handy 127 with our boys only managing 68 runs with the bat. The effort was even by the lads but not up to Mt Waverley’s effort, the lads were looking forward the big GF a couple of weeks later. Grand Final vs Mt Waverley, tight affair… The boys batted first but were unable to make headway due to some very tight bowling and fielding by Mt Waverley. Jack Iverson held the crease with 23 runs as the only batsmen to sustain an innings of note. The boys certainly gave their all with the ball, Mt Waverley on passed our total of 67 late in their innings. The bowling was tight and the fielding was to a high standard, this was a great game for the development of the boys as they experienced a good level of competition where not an inch was given. I would like to thanks all the boys who trained and gave the team a competitive edge that held us in good stead for the competition. I would also like to thank Gary, Eddie and Dilum for your help with organizing the boys, umpiring and scoring. Thanks to all the mums for helping with such lovely snacks. The boys will be back again next year and ready to have another crack. Shane Cashman

105 UNDER 11 GOLD REPORT Wow, what a season! My first as a cricket coach and it couldn't have been more enjoyable. This group of boys was a mix of boys, some who had previously played Under 11’s cricket and others, first time players. All of the boys had an abundance of enthusiasm whether it be at training or on game day. As the saying goes “catches win matches” and that proved true week after week. Winning seemed easy for the team, going undefeated until round 15. We had this single loss before refocusing and winning the final 3 games for the year. The boys were keen and willing to learn new skills and gelled together really well. A big thanks to the parents for your involvement throughout the season. Everything from bringing the boys to training, encouraging them during the games, teaching and demonstrating good sportsmanship, comforting the boys when they went out - it enhanced our team dynamics and made the boys feel like the true champions they are.
A few hi-lights to mention: Max Cavolo: coaches award 194 runs &12/100 Ashwin Mehta: runs aplenty: 280 runs and 9/177 Lachie McFarlane: short season due to injury, a real hard worker at training 69 runs & 5/78 Hamish Donohue: great 1st year 61 runs & 3/87 Ron Kuriakose: outstanding improvement in his bowling which returned 12/89 James McLaughlin: when he gets it right he can bamboozle the batsmen 34 runs & 6/130 Harry Chetwin: nice work in the field, 5 run outs, 3 catches, 53 runs and 5/94 Arya Shivan: real improvement both with bat and ball 58 runs and 2/85 Neel Gera : Mr Enthusiasm, 58 runs & 6/62 Kush Pipaliya : good all-round improvement, 63 runs & 4/75, 4 runouts Max Lawson: 1st year player, works really hard, 126 runs & 5/105 Tom White: can catch the un-catchable, 29 runs & 6/127 Navraj Gill: when he hit them they stay hit, 55 runs &11/77
Thank you to the mums for providing an unreal and creative spread week after week (best in the comp). A big thanks to Andrew McFarlane for being my team manager. To Andrew again, thanks for heading up the scoring duties along with Ed Cavolo. Thanks also to John McLaughlin and Ahmet Mehta for help with umpiring duties. Well done team. Continue practicing and I look forward to seeing you enjoy next season even more.

UNDER 11 PURPLE REPORT
After a great season with the majority of this team last season I was looking forward to seeing the boys continue to develop as cricketers and young men and to the new boys to the team learning to play cricket in the same great spirit this team had developed. The competition was stronger this season and the boys raised their level and performed with aplomb. The team came together with a good mix of experienced and first time players and all with great enthusiasm and willingness to learn and improve. We had six ‘veterans’ in their third (and fourth!) years of cricket in Archie Callander, Dineth De Silva, Charlie Gaiardo, Jack Iverson, Ryan Konstanty and Tom Reid who all led the way throughout the year, showing the newer boys the importance of keeping calm and focussed under pressure and performing when the team needed them most. There was the emerging talent and leadership of second year players in Pranaav Baruwal Chhetri, Billy Robinson and Rahul Surendran. You could see every one of these boys grow in self-confidence and belief in their own ability as the season progressed and then start to show the leadership qualities that will help them and their team in the future. Then we had first year players in Christian Bernardo, Samuel Iverson and Charlie Piper all of whom bought genuine enthusiasm and joy to the team which was shared by all who watched them in every wicket they took or good shot they played and by seasons end these boys were all walking with their heads a little higher knowing they were making a contribution to their team.
At no time was there a focus on match results nor on individual performance but rather on developing positive team play, and yet, as it turns out, this TEAM lost just one game for the season in a strong grade (after, for most of the team, going through the previous season undefeated) and statistics will show our boys finishing high up the list of the whole grade in batting, bowling and fielding in their individual performances. I hope the boys can learn from this that the process should be the focus, not the result. I won’t list individual stats here as anyone interested can find them on My Cricket but a couple of impressive facts from a team perspective – 7 of our boys finished in the grades’ top 20 run scorers (4 in the top 10) and 4 boys finished in the top 20 bowling averages (2 in the top 10) - reflecting how well the team performed this season. Well done boys.
I would also like to thank and congratulate all the parents for your great contribution and help throughout the season. Whether it was setting up, scoring, umpiring, making morning tea or giving positive encouragement to the boys there wasn’t a time when it was difficult to find help which makes it so easy for me as coach, not to mention the great example it sets for the boys in working as a team and the culture that is nurtured throughout the club. I received numerous comments from opposition coaches mentioning how “lucky“ I was to have such good support.
I hope the boys have gained the same amount of enjoyment from the season as I have and want to continue their development next season. I look forward, if required, to having the front row seat watching those that do.

MILO IN2CRICKET PROGRAM REPORT Oakleigh Cricket Club held the 2015/16 Milo In2Cricket program at Warrawee Park. The program was scheduled for eight Saturday mornings with five sessions running from early November, then a break for Christmas followed by three more sessions after school resumed in late January. All sessions were able to be held as scheduled.
Milo In2Cricket is aimed at 5-10 year old children and is intended to give participants an awareness and introduction to cricket. It is designed to teach basic skills and provide a venue to practise, increase fitness levels, make new friends and most importantly be fun. For $75 all kids receive a kit comprising back pack, bat, ball, T-shirt, drink bottle, hat and some other promotional give-a-ways, particularly from the name sponsor Milo. Cricket Victoria provides valuable support in supplying the kits, learning materials, suggestions and the necessary equipment for conducting drills and activities – as well as identifying Milo In2Cricket as the first step of the pathway to International Cricket.
This year we had thirty one kids in total as well as some siblings who joined in occasionally. For a high proportion of participants this was their first formal experience of cricket. Over the course of the program the improvement in skills was noticeable as we introduced the basics of batting, bowling and fielding. The year ended with the last session involving a keenly contested kids versus parents cricket game which was followed by a well earned icy pole and a participant certificate of achievement.
A big thank you to Oakleigh CC for support and use of the facilities, in particular OCC junior co- coordinator Gary Iverson. Gary also spoke at the last session about the option of some of the older Milo In2Cricket kids linking up with an U11 Oakleigh cricket team. Special mention also to Andrew Donohue, the previous Milo co-ordinator who was very generous with his time, help and good spirit. The program could not run without parents pitching in and helping to keep control of thirty one 5-10 year olds, so a huge thank you to all the parents who helped ensure things ran smoothly.
The kids and parents also thoroughly enjoyed being invited by the Club to attend the T20 games at Warrawee, especially see two of their own dads – Marcus Spencer and Daniel Junkeer out in the middle. It was great to be able to showcase Oakleigh’s on-field and off-field attributes through the T20 nights, which left a positive impact on all.
Finally thank you to all the children and parents for coming along on a Saturday morning and having fun!

113 NETBALL CLUB REPORTS – WINTER SEASON Oakleigh Oaks Under 25 As the Oakleigh Oaks approached yet another season in the purple and gold, the girls were keen to continue their reign in section 1, U’25s at Caulfield and District. Although missing key shooter Marnie as she follows her medical dream in Tasmania, the team was in safe hands with the return of gun mid fielder/defender Kathleen and a skilful new defender Tori. With a strong start to the season, winning their first game by 14 and the second by 24, the Oaks were taking the competition by storm until facing past rivals Kilvington, leading to a first loss of only three goals. With a rather precarious team consisting of coaches, umpires and mentors, making up the seven to play is often a struggle, but as a strongly bonded team, the girls always manage to pull through under the wise guidance of Kasey and Patty. Currently third on the ladder, the Oakleigh Oaks have a very good chance of making the finals this season… Go the Oaks ! Oakleigh Blossoms Under 15 The U15 Blossoms team has come together in 2016 with new players, a new coach and a new team manager. The team comprises of nine girls from various schools around the area of which, only three have played together before. Yet despite this, the girls have gelled extremely well as shown by the results to date - five wins from seven games. The team sits comfortably in second place on the ladder (…with first position in reach). The girls are enjoying getting to know each other and playing as a unified and cohesive team and are always respectful and supportive of each other which is great to observe and a credit to the girls themselves. The new coach, a first-year university student with years of netball playing and umpiring experience is an important reason for the team’s success. She is always respectful to the girls and provides direction, support and encouragement. Her ‘cool as a cucumber’ personality keeps everyone grounded regardless of the circumstances. Under her direction and coaching, the girls are learning new skills and improving their fitness all the while enjoying the great game of netball. The commitment of the girls is great to see with full attendance at training sessions and eager faces on game day no matter what the time or weather. The team also has great support from parents, grand-parents and friends who regularly turn up at matches to cheer the girls on. Fantastic spirit Under 15 Blossoms! Gabriella, Team Manager Under 15 Blossoms
Under 13 Wattles The Wattles are having a great season in Under 13. They have all stepped up to the challenge and look set to make the finals, in their first season. With two rounds to go, they will aim to finish first or second. There has been a huge leap forward in skill level and passing around the court thanks to their brilliant coach Kerrie Sak. Even though there are fewer cart wheels being done on court compared to when in U11 the smiles and the enjoyment of the players is still evident. There have been many highlights so far this season, in particular was the spirit and attitude shown by the team after their one and only loss so far this season. It was this sporting attitude, acknowledging the great contest of the game, which pleased the coach the most. Exciting weeks ahead Under 13 Wattles! Kelly, Team Manager Under 13 Wattles

Under 13 Acorns With a reshuffle of the U’13s pool, the Oakleigh Acorns have received a rather impressive new draft, kick starting the first season of 2016. Although taking a few weeks to adjust to the new team list, the Acorns have gelled and bonded, making an incredible comeback in the second half of the season. With two very convincing wins over the last two weeks, including beating the top of the ladder (Caulfield South) by 6 points in a ‘premiership quarter’ (the third quarter), the Acorns have a very good chance of making the finals… Go the Acorns! Ella, Coach Under 13 Acorns
Oakleigh Blue The Oakleigh Blue team played their inaugural match on Friday 12 February. The girls all new to netball competition played extremely well learning new position and the rules. The team practice every Monday afternoon learning to play in different positions and having the opportunity to get to know one another better. As the rounds have past, the girls got close to winning their first match, getting better every week. And then it happened! It was Friday 6 May playing Caulfield South Meteors that the team finally scored their first incredible win defeating the 'Meteors' 7 to 1. The girls were extremely excited and played a great match. Well done Oakleigh Blue! Mel, Team Manager Under 11 Blue
Under 11 Oakleigh Purple This season we welcomed 4 new players to our team. A big welcome to Jeni, Kathryn, Natalie and Siena. Some new to netball and some with past netball experience. We have gelled as a team winning some games, a couple of draws and a few losses. Great friendships have been formed not just the netball girls, but with mums dads and other relatives that come along to watch, cheer and support Oakleigh Purple. Our great coach Fiona always makes training and games run smoothly and continue to educate the girls in regards to team spirit, netball rules and sportsmanship. Our games and training are always fun and filled with lots of laughter. It is great to see the excitement on the girls faces when they arrive at Duncan McKinnon on Friday evenings. Keep up the great work Oakleigh Purple! Stacey, Team Manager Under 11 Purple
Under 11 Oakleigh Gold The Gold team had a bit of a rough start to the season losing two players before our first match! We did however pick up two other players pretty quickly so we were back on track. Gold team has a great bunch of players who all have their strengths in different areas. There is a very diverse range of ability in the team which has been a little challenging at times both in training and during games. We started with two complete newbie’s, others who had played a couple of seasons and a couple who are even playing with another club on Saturdays they are so keen. What is great though is that they have gelled well together and their flow is getting better and better as the season goes on.
115 And despite everything, players having to get to know each other very quickly, the Gold team has not had a loss this season!. Last Friday was probably the biggest nail biter of the season but in a great fight we got over the line again. Well done Oakleigh Gold girls! This is my first season as a 'Coach'. I was really nervous but excited about taking on the role (thanks Julie for offering it to me) as I have never done anything like this before. I have participated in sports but not had a coaching role and I have limited experience with netball but have enjoyed doing my fundamentals course which gave me a great place to start. Kathy Rotter, Coach Under 11 Gold
