The Club entered teams in the five Sydney Cricket Association Grade competitions, the Limited Overs Competi- tion, the Poidevin Gray, Green Shield Competitions, and the Sydney Masters Competition. As well as successfully introducing a new 6th grade side that played in the local Manly Warringah Junior Cricket Association. COMPETITION RESULTS: Club Championship: 1st champions First Grade: 2nd grand finalist First Grade Limited Overs: 1st premiers Second Grade: 5th quarter finalist Third Grade: 3rd semi finalist, Fourth Grade: 8th, Fifth Grade: 20th Sixth Grade 5th Poidevin Gray: 5th, Green Shield: 8th Masters: 2nd This was a season that began like many others full of hope and expectation. A season where the Manly family gathered together, coaches, players, administrators and supporters alike, just as generations before them, to go forth and do battle, in what is arguable the strongest domestic cricket competition in the world. This was a season where the legends of the past would have stood to a man and applauded the efforts of our brave and stouthearted cricketing warriors. A season where new legends and heroes were created and one in which new meaning was given to the words never give in and never say die. As with every season there are always those family members that must move on, those that retire and those who choose to seek new challenges, to our ex team members, administrators, friends and colleagues we thank you for your contribution to our club and know that while you were with us you gave your all and blessed us with your presence. We wish you all the best of luck with whatever cricketing goals you seek to pursue in the future. Two notable members of the retirement brigade, Bob Brenner and Gordon Currie, were sorely missed. Both gave far beyond the call of duty and each in their own way made an indelible mark on the history of Manly Cricket Club. Their skill, passion and wise council left a massive hole at the committee table during the year, but their influence on our club will be felt for generations to come. Thank you gentlemen once again for your outstanding contribu- tion. Along with these departures we were fortune to welcome new friend, and team members who brought with them a new enthusiasm and determination to help us succeed. We were very happy to welcome the talented and excep- tionally skilled Darren Wotherspoon, the returning guile and cunning of Matthew Todd, the commercial expertise of Kel Kilner and Mark Bowler, and the tireless work ethic of Sean Rout. As well as a full compliment of players to our new 6th grade team. All together our gains were many and all meshed and flourished under the illustrious leadership of Andrew Fraser our tireless and talented President We are very lucky as a club to have such a dynamic and diverse person, whose magic helps to gel us together as a family, with one vision and one objective. All in all, the club continued to move forward at a rapid rate with An- drew at the helm. Vice president Tim Bailey also inspired our team with many a sparkling oratory. Add to this the efforts of our superb committee and a fantastic group of volunteers and we had an off field force to be reckoned with. Thank you to all our many family members, at all levels of the club who combined their skills and passion to give us this wonderful edge off the field. 6 This edge once again allowed us the benefit of putting together another stunning mid season day/night game at Manly oval. Thanks to the vision and sustained efforts of Andrew Fraser, Tim Bailey and the exceptional coordi- nation and mediation skills of Sean Rout. Shawn has become the go to man on this event and we are indebted to him, Andrew and Tim for ensuring that we remain as the innovation leaders of the competition. Together our intrepid team brought together a glorious day night fixture topped off by a win for the 1st eleven. The event was well supported by the local community and once again the evening provided a majestic backdrop for the skills of our wonderful group of players. Once again we also thank our patrons the dynamic Tim Farriss, The Mayor of Manly Dr Peter MacDonald, David Barr MP and Gary Flowers for their on going efforts for our club In 2005/06 we were blessed with a group of captains with exceptional skills who lead our on field efforts, a group that showed huge character under pressure, who gave their all for the cause and who never for one second gave up in the face of what every challenge confronted them.
