Youlden Cricketer's Almanac 2015-16 YOULDEN CRICKETER’S ALMANAC 2015-16 A STATISTICAL REVIEW OF YOULDEN PARKVILLE C.C. FOR THE SEASON 2015-16 FOREWORD After the successful 2014-15 season where both the 1st and 2nd X1’s made Grand Finals, expectations for the 2015-16 season were high. Some aggressive recruiting helped offset the loss of some key personal from last year’s campaign and also allowed the Club to field a 5th X1 for the first time in its history. All senior X1’s won at least as many games as they lost with the 3rd X1 finishing top of the ladder before unfortunately bowing out in the semi-final. The 1st and 2nd X1’s both finished 2nd on the ladder and were both unfortunately beaten Grand Finalists. Under the leadership of first time captain Matt Perkins, the 4th X1 finished 3rd on the ladder before destroying the opposition in three successive finals to claim the Clubs first senior flag since 2011-12! Four teams in the finals was the most of any club in the MCA. We were the only club to have three grand finalists! The Powerful Owls program continued to build on their success from the previous year to again feature in the finals. The Club once again fielded 10 junior teams for the season. The Club fielded its first “A” Grade junior team in any Junior age level. That under 12 team were narrowly defeated in the semi-finals. The Under 12D team won the premiership after a dominate season, and the Under 16C team lost on the last ball of the Grand Final after sitting bottom of the ladder at the half way point of the season. The breeding ground for the junior teams, the In2Cricket program for 5 to 8 year olds, moved to Wednesday nights this season and possible as a result of this had a significant drop off in numbers. Overall there were about 130 (down from about 140 last year) juniors involved in the Powerful Owls program, which is a great sign for the future of the Club. The interaction between the Junior and Senior sections of the Club continues to get better and suggests a great future lies ahead! There were 106 senior players who strutted their stuff for YPs (up from 83 from last season) and all of them are featured in this almanac. We had 35 players who made their YPCC debuts this season, including another 7 more from the junior program (Alex Avraam, James Blay, Henry Grist, Tyler McGregor, Eamon Pizzey, Alex Rusjan and Akshat Sehgal), making it 20 in the last three seasons. We also had 5 visitors from overseas (Charles Jones, Alex Kayser, Jason Matthews, Kyle Mitchell, and Sam Noss) who all contributed greatly to the Club. Some of the new players moved on immediately, however 24 of them played 4 games or more. Hopefully those remaining in Australia come back and build on this next year. Individual highlights were regular occurrences throughout the course of the season. Ashley Medell completed a unique treble in the 3rd X1 for the season with a hundred in round 2 before taking a 5 wicket haul, which included a hatrick, in round 19! Alex Rusjan also took a hatrick on his way to 6 wickets in the 4th X1 in round 14, before taking another 5 wicket haul in the 3rd X1 in round 17. Waddington Mwayenga returned to the Club and racked up an incredible 48 wickets for the season, including 4 five wicket hauls, two of which were in the finals. Brother of Boom, Kyle Mitchell, had it all over eventual premiers Flemington Colts picking up 5 wicket hauls in both the games he played against them. Jason Matthews, Nicholas Demelis, David Pizzey and Kavithrna Silva all tonned up at different stages of the season while Irfan Azam and Tyler McGregor both took 5 wicket hauls during the season. Finally, after 29 seasons at YPCC, Anthony Steward played his 301st game for the club, which equalled Brian O’Reilly’s record for the most games for YPCC. That 301st game also happened to be the 4th X1 Grand Final which gave Fooey his first flag at YPCC! Congratulations Fooey! Despite some health issues, president Paul Sinclair again led the Committee with aplomb. He was well supported by the Committee as we continue to push to sure-up our future both on and off the field. Unfortunately the experiment with David Alleyne as senior coach did not work out due to a change in family circumstances. Luckily the YPCC is blessed with some great senior players who lead the way at senior training sessions. Particular thanks needs to go to Elliott Miller and Charles Jones who went above and beyond to keep training sessions ticking along nicely. There are so many more stories to come out of 2015-16, so read on to refresh your memory. – Barney YOULDEN RISING STAR – Syed Rohail Akhtar The Justin J. O’Connor Memorial Trophy This is a trophy to uphold youthful exuberance and talent, and at the same time pay our respects to an old friend who was taken from us so young. On the advice of newly appointed Junior Co-ordinator Wayne Schultz, Ray Ray joined the Club at the start of the season after playing the last five seasons on hard wickets at South Morang. The only X1 he didn’t play in was the first X1 and he racked up a handy 343 runs at 22.87 and took a very tidy 23 wickets at 12.90. After playing in the 4th X1 pretty much exclusively as a batsman before the finals, Ray Ray toyed with the opposition batsmen in the finals taking 12 wickets across the 3 games. He was awarded the Man of The Match in the winning 4th X1 Grand Final team. Ray Ray continues the fine calibre of young player to win this award. Hopefully a long a successful playing career at YPCC is ahead of him. BEST CLUBPERSON – Elliott Miller The Tom Harrington Memorial Trophy After taking out the JOC and the Coaches award last year Elliott Miller has backed it up with another great season at the Club and has taken out this season’s Best Clubman Award. When appointed club coach David Alleyne was unable to fulfil his commitments a couple of months into the season, Funky stepped up in a big way to become the de facto coach for the remainder of the season. The energy and structure that he provided at training provided all those that attended a great environment to develop their skills. All his efforts are recognised with this award. Well done Funky, thanks for all your efforts. Well deserved. CLUB CHAMPION – 590 POINTS The George Moloney Jnr. Trophy Waddington Mwayenga Returning to YP after a season plying his trade in the subbies, Waddy has taken out his first Club Champion trophy after five top five finishes (including two runners up placings) in his six previous seasons at the club. During the home and away season Waddy racked up 198 runs, took 33 wickets, took 6 catches and affected 2 run outs. Of course he didn’t stop there taking a further 15 wickets during the finals series to be the leading wicket taker in MCA A Grade with 48 wickets! His match haul of 9-79 in the semi-final against South Yarra almost single handedly sent the 1st X1 into the Grand Final! Evergreen veteran Andy Skate took out 2nd place 113 points back, whilst second X1 skipper Nicholas Demelis rounded out the top three a solitary point further back. Congratulations Waddy.

Rackstraw Medal as the Club’s most valuable player as voted by his teammates. Whilst Waddy may have won his first Club Champion award this season, he has been very efficient at collecting “Jacks” with this year’s award his fourth! Waddy polled in ten of the eleven games he played in where votes were awarded. Waddy won by a 34 votes from Andy Skate and a further 9 from equal club games record holder Anthony Steward. Congratulations Waddy.

    YOULDEN CRICKETER’S ALMANAC 2016-17 A STATISTICAL REVIEW OF YOULDEN PARKVILLE C.C. FOR THE SEASON 2016-17 FOREWORD After the success of 2015-16 where the 4th X1 won the premiership, the 1st and 2nd X1’s were beaten grand finalists and the 3rd X1 made the semi final, expectations for the 2016-17 season were high. Unfortunately the Club could not repeat that level of success with the only two sides making the finals this season. The David Pizzey 5th X1 bowed out in the preliminary final to eventual premiers Burnley CYMS and the Nicholas Demelis led 2nd X1 unfortunately lost their third straight grand final, this year against Parkville Districts. The 3rd and 4th X1’s both played in the grade above where they played last season and the 5th X1 moved into D Saturday, which meant that YPCC was the only club to field a side in all 5 levels of Saturday cricket in the MCA! The Powerful Owls program continued to build on their success from the previous year to again feature in the finals. The Club once again fielded 10 junior teams for the season. All of the teams that played for points played in the finals, unfortunately none of them won a grand final, which is the first time in 5 seasons that the juniors have not won a flag. The breeding ground for the junior teams, the In2Cricket program for 5 to 8 year olds, moved back to Saturday mornings, with a second session being run on Sunday mornings helping to dramatically increase the numbers doing the program.

The quiz itself was fiercely and noisily contested and enjoyed by all, whilst many members took the opportunity to pay their annual subs and sign their membership forms, which helps Jane (Kempthorn) and Andy (Spedding) with the tremendous administration work they do Also noticed that Louis Pryor is now taller than me – although that’s not difficult Club Force followed the week after and although all the work was completed I have to say the response from members was disappointing This is an occasion when ALL sections of the Club need to play their part but it probably benefits the cricket club more than anyone, as we play the summer game However, and as a consequence of the dedicated few, the Nets are now in tip top condition, the covers are fit for purpose and the sight-screens are state of the art – just compare them with those at neighbouring Ex-Blues, and the pavilion has been given a lick of paint.

  • The Peterite
    THE PETERITE Vol. LXXI OCTOBER, 198o No. 397 Editorial Committee: Alistair Carder-Geddes, Christopher Ashurst, Michael Bowstead, Anthony Dixon, Ian Cramb, Andrew Fawthrop, Timothy Blackburn, Andrew Cochrane, Neil Harness and David Aspinall. Photographs: Lawrence Bleasdale. Edited by R. C. G. Drysdale, M.A. PREFACE The Peterite caters for several different markets. Many readers rightly want a record of what has been going on in the School during the previous academic year. Parents and prospective parents want to gain an idea of the multitude of activities available. Some want to see evidence of the consider- able artistic and literary talent in the School. Others expect a measure of entertainment. The Old Peterites, too, have a strong claim on the magazine as it was originally published with them in mind. These claims are not, of course, necessarily mutually exclusive. It is, however, difficult to satisfy all these competing interests equally and the end result is, inevitably, a compromise. This year's magazine sets out to publish a greater number of original contributions and while the response to the Poetry competition was encour- aging, the committee was disappointed by the comparative lack of interest in the Short Story and Photographic competitions. This edition of The Peterite is thus not exactly what the Editorial Committee wanted, but it is a step in that direction. It is hoped that next year's issue will contain more contribu- tions from the wealth of talent in the School. The Editor wishes to thank the many contributors to The Peterite and would welcome articles of general interest from Peterites past and present.

I am emailing you to thank John Carpenter and Jesse Loveridge, the groundsmen. After a wet week we arrived to find a perfectly prepared wicket, nicely mown outfield and pristine changing facilities. They must have worked so hard in their preparation. We were worried about whether we would even get a game given last week's weather, but we did and were made to feel very welcome guests by John and Jesse from the minute we arrived. A big thanks therefore to them and congratulations to LBE on the makeover the ground has had. We lost the match but that was squarely the fault of our batsmen, not the wicket. Yours sincerely, Andrew Burman Secretary, GWLCC Dear Andrew, Thank you for your email. I’m glad to hear the preparations were well received.
