Gold Coast District Cricket Club Annual Report – Season 2012/13

President’s report

It gives me great pleasure to report on another successful season for the Gold Coast Dolphins. This year, the club again fulfilled its mission to provide opportunities for our players to play at the level of cricket he or she is capable of. At the highest levels, Dolphins again prominantly featured in the Queensland Bulls (Andrew Robinson, Michael Neser, Brad Ipson, Greg Moller) and Australian Youth teams (Nick Stevens, Sam Hain, ) this year. We also provided two players – Alex Melville and Robbie Miller to Queensland’s sucessful Imparja Cup Team. Such an array of talent would be the envy of most grade clubs across the country.

The premiership win by our women’s team was an outstanding result. Congratulations to all involved.

Across the grades, it was also pleasing to see that with three rounds to go, every team had a chance of making the finals. While the weather and other results impacted our run, we did suffer from a lack of depth at times. This will be something the club will be working hard to address in the off-season.

I must also thank the efforts of the coaching staff who were ably led this year by Head Coach Garry Lovett. Thanks also to the support staff who volunteer each week to make sure our matches run smoothly.

The Club has been well supported again this year by our Club Patron, Ros Bates MP, and local Councillor Jan Grew. We greatly appreciate their ongoing support.

Also a special thank you to our Queensland Cricket Delegate – Rory Solomon, and Cricket Gold Coast Directors—Archie Morris, Tony Radanovic and Greg Kaddatz.

I would also like to thank the Management Committee members that worked to keep the club at top level throughout the year – Jeff Pfaff (Vice President), Gerry Stevens (Secretary), Bob Menzies (Treasurer), Tony Radanovic, Greg Kaddatz, Archie Morris, Bonnie Graham and Simon Matthews. After a couple of years consolidating the club’s off-field position, the Committee is looking forward to taking the next steps required to ensure the Dolphins become one of the great grade clubs.

Some of this work will happen behind the scenes, but all members will have a chance to contribute. A large number of players completed the player survey and these responses will form part of the Club’s planning for 2013/14 and beyond. In addition, the upgrade of the Kerrydale block is designed to not only further improve the quality of the , but cement its place as the premier cricket facility in the region.

Enjoy the break, and we look forward to seeing you all again in season 2013/14.

Alan McGillivray President

Gold Coast District Cricket Club Annual Report – Season 2012/13

Coaching report

The Season 2012-13 for all Grade’s was such a successful season in many ways. Starting with an extensive pre-season training schedule targeting fitness and agility and coming together as a playing group, then to complete a couple of successful trial games (against University and our intra-club trial) put our young playing group in good stead for the up and coming season.

Even though winning Premierships look great in the club’s trophy cabinet, my main objective this year as Club Coach was to grow and develop the group to become Queensland representative players at both Junior and Senior levels. To have five players from our 1st Grade squad chosen to represent at the top level at different times throughout the season, and countless juniors that have represented at Queensland and level this year, I feel that we as a club have achieved and completed a succesful season. To have all four grades very much in the running at the back half of season to play in finals, and then to only have the chances dashed die to circumstances that we have no control (and that is the damn weather!), this in itself is a amazing effort from such a young playing group. We had a lot of stand out performers this year:

. There were none better than Brad Ipson (Peter Burge Medal winner) with 41 wickets at an average of 17.49 (including three five wicket hauls) and an average of 26.50 with the bat; . Greg Moller who averaged 81.42 scoring 977 runs (including two centuries); . Michael Neser 23 wickets at an average of 11.04, whils also averaging 33.38 with the bat; st . Canning Mason who averaged 28.25 scoring 565 runs and who was rewarded with his efforts in getting a taste in 1 Grade; st . Nick Stevens who averaged 39.62, scoring 515 runs and to achieve that elusive maiden in 1 Grade; . Matt Kuhnemann taking 44wks at an average of 16.16; and . Josh Arnold taking 44wickets at an average of 18.11. Truly the list goes on and on. I would like to take the time in congratulating all players that won awards at the club’s presentation and to Brad Ipson Peter Burge Medal Winner, Michael Neser and Matt Kuhnemann who took out the respective average awards at the Queensland Cricket Grade presentation and to the ones with all their effort and hard work that they have put in this season who were rewarded by representing at all different levels through out the year, well done to all.

I have totally enjoyed my first year as Club Coach at the Fins and with help from the coaching staff of Shamus Robertson, Jason Hocking who made my role so much easier on training nights and game days, Simon Mathews for his role as manager of 2nd Grade every weekend, to the scorers Gerry Stevens, Bonnie Graham, Bob Menzies and all captains who did a amazing job with the playing group on game days. Also a special thankyou to Greg Kaddatz for all his hard work and time that he not only gives to 1st Grade on weekends but to the club in general, and also Gerry Stevens with the extra yards he did for me in organizing the washing of all 1st Grade coloured clothing and just being my go to person. Let’s not forget the volunteers of a thankless role of a club, the Committee, so special thanks to Alan McGillivray and its members.

The next season or so are crucial in the club moving forward, with some of the senior players looking to retire or are moving on, to build and develop the endless talent of juniors at the Club to maintain the success it has had in the past. I am really looking forward to the challenge!

Gold Coast District Cricket Club Annual Report – Season 2012/13

1st Grade report

With the 2012-13 season now behind us, the following provides a snap shot of the 1st Grade team over the season.

The primary focus as 1st Grade is to give every player at the club equal opportunity to develop their own game and become the best player they can be. This season saw a number of 2nd Grade players gain their opportunity to represent the Gold Coast in 1st Grade. The strength of the club over the past 10 years has bred Queensland representative players and in my view, our goal should be to continue to grow and develop our talent pool.

As a result of having five players from our top side in an out of the Queensland team at various times this year, provided a number of challenges throughout the season resulting in a slow start. Sitting dead last at Christmas, the team and squad showed great resolve to come home strongly and just missing out on a finals berth. An outstanding effort this season by Greg Moller has thrust his name back in front of the Queensland selectors. This was a result of hard work and dedication to not only his game and fitness, but also his team. A number of players have impressed me over the last season and I hope their development continues over the coming season and they become solid performers at a 1st Grade level and beyond. These players include: Josh Arnold, Robbie Benadie, Cameron Brimblecombe, Nick Stevens and Canning Mason.

I see the next few seasons as vital to the success of the club moving forward. With a large number of senior players moving on in past seasons, there is a need for some of the younger players to stand up and show some authority within the ranks. Whilst it will take a couple of seasons to get back to premiership contenders, I believe that the youth on the Gold Coast is second to none across Queensland.

We need to ensure that we harness this talent and provide the platform for their future success. Having said this, I believe that by instilling core values into the current juniors, we can continue to breed the passion to play for the Gold Coast Dolphins. We need to continue the legacy built by past players such as Andrew Symonds, Matthew Mott, Jeff Pfaff, Chris Swan, Dan Doran and Damien Wallis to name just a few. THERE IS NO SUBSTITUE FOR HARD WORK, and representing the Gold Coast Dolphins 1st Grade side is an honour not a right.

I would like to congratulate all players who were selected for various representative teams this season. It is also important to acknowledge the efforts of Garry Lovett and Greg Kaddatz for ensuring the 1st Grade team was ready to give their best come game day. As captain, it was reasurring to have these guys on hand to allow me to focus on the team and how to get the best result on the day.

With a new square being laid in the off season, hopefully this will assist in getting some pace and bounce back into the Kerrydale wicket. Thank you to all who gave up their time and effort to assist in working on these wickets over the previous few weeks as the players will certainly reap the rewards.

With this said, I look forward to the continual development of the Gold Coast Dolphins and wish all players the best in their own personal development and that within the Gold Coast Dolphins structure.

Greg Moller – Queensland Bulls Gold Coast District Cricket Club Annual Report – Season 2012/13

2nd Grade report

It was a year of challenges for the 2nd Grade side with numerous set backs. The group showed glimpses of form by stringing some wins together, but with the young side we had coming up against senior sides it became very challenging. The side finished 9th overall on the premiership ladder with the strongest form of the game seen in the one day fixtures, where the side finished 6th.

However, the encouraging signs were seen on an individual level with Canning Mason having a fantastic season with the bat accumulating 501 runs, and gaining a call up to 1st Grade. Also Robbie Benadie, aged only 16, showed a lot of courage with the bat and gloves having a very encouraging season for the club at such a young age. Robbie played a few games for 1st Grade and also took out the Captain’s Award for 2nd Grade due to his hard working manner. Robbie had a set back not making the Queensland Under 17 team with such a great season under his belt, but has shown a lot of determination to come back even hungrier.

Another young player, Matthew Kuhnemann was described all year as a ‘cool head’ taking 44 wickets for the season with an average of 16.16. Matthew was named in the Queensland Under 17 team and took out the Junior Player of the Year Award for the club.

Josh Arnold, a well known figure around the club, had a near perfect year also taking 44 wickets at an average of 18.11. Josh played some 1st Grade games, but more importantly was named the Damian Wallis Medalist as the Dolphins’Player’s Player’due to his spirit, courage and manner in which he trains and plays the game.

Matthew and Josh were the leading bowlers of the club this year taking the most wickets and having the best averages, a very encouraging sign for the club going forward.

Overall, the season was a challenging one for the2nd Grade team. It was encouraging and important to see the development of young talent in the club. It shone through at many stages throughout the year that the 2nd Grade side had a lot of team spirit and were always willing to compete, no matter what the situation was. As a young side it was important to show a competitive spirit with the approach in which some opponents take at this level.

A special thanks must go to Shamus Robertson, Simon Matthews and Bonnie Graham for there continual organisation and to the club for their on-going support.

Michael Neser – Queensland Bulls, Gold Coast District Cricket Club Annual Report – Season 2012/13

3rd Grade report

Season 2012-13 for the Dolphins 3rd Grade Side was a successful season. An extensive preseason training schedule and successful intra-club trial game set this young team up to challenge the Teams and allow many opportunities to move up the grades if they performed.

The first 2 day round vs. Souths (2) on their newly laid pitch was a real eye opener for new and experienced players alike. Whilst Gold Coast toiled well South’s (2) handled the conditions better to get the result. Round 2 vs South’s (1) back at Cheltenham saw Gold Coast set a 200+ competitive total and disciplined bowling and fielding saw the 3rd Grade record their first win and the season was off and rolling.

Round 3 saw a similar effort and result against the highly fancied Toombul CC who had dominated in previous years. It certainly was a pleasure playing at Cheltenham Oval this season as the excellent quality of the wicket, outfield and our knowledge of how to play our home venue…saw us win most of our home games. For new players to the club it was a pleasure to have them learn and sing heartily the “Dolphins Club Song”.

The progression of the season to 1 day games and T20 matches saw Gold Coast 3rd Grade perform strongly in the shorter format games than in previous years. This was a superb effort against mature, stronger and more experienced outfits who boasted a number of players with past 1st Grade experience who have played on for their clubs in the lower grades. The Dolphins 3rd Grade side ran well between wickets, the ability to achieve expectations of what is required in the field and where/ how to bowl at different phases of the game was outstanding.

With a team that boasted 9 of the 11 players under 22 years of age these skills paid off with strong wins against Redlands, Wynnum and University (2). This had Dolphins 3rd Grade poised just outside the top 4 with 3 rounds remaining in the competition. Then again we had one of the wettest seasons on record with both the amount and time when rain fell making games very hard to get. Needless to say our hopes of making the finals again this season washed away with it.

There were a number of fine individual contributions across the season with Matthew Weatherall, Patrick Yelland, Ben Shields and Steven Baker consistently contributing with the bat. Trent Arnold, Nathan Lyons, McKenzie Barclay, Chris Littlejohn, Blair Tickner and Ryan Menzies were key performers with the ball. Trent Arnold received the captains award capturing 18 wickets at key times across the season and some outstanding fielding in the circle. We look forward to watching the progression of this promising group young cricketers up the grades. It is hoped that the partnership with The Southport School Cricket Program will continue to ‘bear fruit’.

A big ‘Thank You” for the contribution of Club Coach Gary Lovett, Game Day Assistance of Bob Menzies, the efforts of the Dolphins Committee and finally the efforts of the players has made for another enjoyable and productive season.

Andrew Robinson – Queensland Bulls, Gold Coast District Cricket Club Annual Report – Season 2012/13

4th Grade report

Once again the season started in great fashion and following some big early wins, 4th Grade sat atop of the ladder. With such a young team, the season ahead looked promising.

This year we saw the progression of many talented players from 4th Grade up to 3rd Grade and even some reaching 2nd Grade. This goes to show the value that 4th Grade has for the club in providing a valuable nursery for young cricketers starting their grade careers.

The grade continues to provide a pathway for players and enables them to experience cricket at a QCA level which provides them with experience and opportunity that will enable them to develop their cricketing ability to the fullest, while also laying the foundation for them to become 1st and 2nd grade cricketers in the future. One only has to look at the Dolphins 4th Grade Premiership winning team from a few years ago to see how many have gone on to represent the club in its highest grades and beyond.

Despite the promising start, a poor run on form in the T20 matches nearing Christmas cost the side dearly and although valiant in effort, the side was unable to sustain their standing at the top the ladder and slipped to just outside the top four at the break.

Unfortunately no game was played at Cheltenham Drive Oval post Christmas due to the wet weather. This lack of opportunity to get on at home (combined with some away game wash outs as well) hampered the side’s efforts to climb back into the top four.

At the end of the season, finishing 7th wasn’t a true reflection of the side’s efforts throughout the year but circumstances, some within our control, didn’t enable the side perform to its ultimate level.

Although somewhat masked by the lack of games after Christmas, the amount of players available for selection (due to external factors) was once again an issue. Not being able to effectively plan and manage for these events proved to be a thorn in the side’s performance. It will be an issue that needs to be addressed if 4th Grade is to ever have continued success into the future.

Finally, thanks must go the Jason Hocking for his efforts throughout the year.

Lord’s Taverners Under 16 report

This season saw a change by Queensland Cricket in the age qualification of the Lord’s Taverner’s compeition. Moving to an Under 16 Grade provided a return to how the competition had started some years ago, but also gave the club the opportunity to introduce a fresh crop of young cricketers to the Dolphin’s program.

The group had a great year only losing one game. Following the pool matches, our record stood at 2 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss. One of the draws featured us falling just short of a run chase of 340! Following the pool matches, we won th eplay off game for third. Overall, an excellenet results for the boys.

Whilst the team itself played well as a whole there were some players who deserve special mention including:

1. Matt Kuhnemann who took 18 wickets

2. Max Houlaihan who scored 251 runs at an average of 83.67

3. Riley Glover with some excellent all round performances

Another high notes was Matt Kuhnemann’s selection in the Queensdland Under 17’s.

I would like to thank the Captain Max Houlahan and Vice Captain Aaron Pook for their efforts. I would also like to thank Helen Black (Scorer) and Scott Black (Manager) for their assistance during the season. I look forward to the start of next season. The future for the Dolphins looks extremely bright with players the calibre of this team more than capable of working their way through the ranks in the future.

Women’s report

There are a lot of people that I need to thank that all contributed to the girls being so successful on and off the paddock and made my job so much easier. They are - Coaching Staff: Brendan Callaghan, Mitch Goldman, Craig Lawler, Peter Cantwell; Scorers: Victor Wickramasinghe, Ken Lawler, Matt Hayden; and of course all parents that helped with travelling to get the girls to all games on the weekend. Special thanks also to our four PNG International players: Norma Ovasuru, Pauke Siaka, Kaia Arua and Tanya Ruma.

To have our Gold team finish the year un-defeated and premiers and our Blue team to finish 3rd, just goes to show the young talent that we have coming through at the Fins, with an average age of 15years is an amazing effort. Some of the individual performances throughout the year were:

. Norma Ovasuru 126 n/o, Holly H Smith 112 and Rebecca Cantwell 74 n/o. . Pauke Siaka 17wickets, Rebecca Cantwell 3/17 and Amie Grewar 3/44. . Also let’s not forget the record win for GC Gold 3/326 vs Wests all out 95.

Congratulations to the following players that represented this year:

. U15 President’s XI (Schools State Championships): Jordan Russell, Laura Lovett, Varuni Wickramasinghe . Qld U15s: Jordan Russell, Laura Lovett . Qld U18s: Hannah Laurence, Laura Lovett, Holly H Smith, Jordan Russell

Congratulations also must go to the girls who took out individual awards at our end of season presentation for their performances throughout the year.

As a coach I could not be more proud in what you girls have achieved this year as individuals and as a playing group, not just with results and the improvement but with your attitudes and the spirit that you all played the game on weekends.

Well done again girls, enjoy your well-deserved break.

Bigger and better next year

Go the Fin Girls!

I would like to thank every girl that played in a Dolphins shirt this year in making our first taste in the QCA Ladies competition a successful one, to have our Blue team to finish 3rd and our Gold team to finish un-defeated Premiers in our 1st season is nothing but amazing.

Peter Burge Medalist

Brad Ipson

At the Annual Grade Cricket Presentation Dinner held in April, 1st Grade Captain Brad Ipson became just the second Dolphins player to win the Peter Burge Medal for the best player in the XXXX GOLD Premier Grade competition. Brad polled 42 votes to finish three clear of Valley paceman Matthew Petrie. Another Valley player, all-rounder Andrew Gode was two votes behind in equal third alongside North’s batsman Dom Michael.

Interestingly, Brad did not poll a vote until receiving the maximum six votes in a one-dayer in Round 5 and repeated the effort in the next one-dayer in Round 8. He was consistent thereafter and held a five-vote lead over Gode going into the final round and held on for victory, despite both days of the Dolphins’ final round match being washed out.

Ipson played 14 of a possible 19 matches and took an impressive 41 wickets at 17.49 while scoring 159 runs at 26.5. He had a number of standout performances with the ball, headed by a club record 7-21 in the Round 8 one-dayer against Redlands in November, and 5-11 off 13 overs against Ipswich/Logan in another one-dayer. Ipson also took a combined 9-94 off 34 overs in a two-day game against Wynnum-Manly. His victory was the first by a Gold Coast player since Jeff Pfaff won the Medal in 1996-97.

Brad enjoyed three consecutive top 10 finishes in the Peter Burge Medal from 2007-08 to 2009-10, finishing within one top- vote of the leaders on each occasion. The 32-year-old played one Ryobi Cup game for the XXXX GOLD Queensland Bulls this summer, scoring 33 and taking 0-48 against SA in Adelaide. He has played a total of nine one-dayers and two T20 games for his State. Gode and 1000-run Gold Coast opener Greg Moller held the ascendancy through much of the count, with Gode five votes clear after Round 14.

However, he did not poll again while Moller missed a number of days following a recall to the Queensland Shield and one- day sides and polled just once more to finish on 36 votes. Despite his 1000-run season, Michael began the count surprisingly slowly but finished with a rush, collecting 26 votes in the second half of the season.

Gold Coast Dolphins - Peter Burge Medal Top 10:

1st: Brad Ipson (42 votes)

4th: Greg Moller (36 votes) 7th: Michael Neser (30 votes)

International Under 19 Series

Australia vs Kerrydale Oval, 29 & 31 July, 3 August 2012

As part of the warm up to the Under 19 World Cup, the Dolphins hosted a three match series between the Australian and Pakistan teams in July. The matches showcased the very high standard of our facilities and our capability to host such matches in future. It was also pleasing to see a healthy crowd of Gold Coast cricket supporters attend the Sunday match of the series.

While Pakistan edged out 2‐1 in the series, it was a highlight to see two young Dolphins—Sam Hain and Nick Stevens in the Australian squad. Our thoughts were also with another Dolphin—Billy Stanlake, who missed the series due to injury.

With any events such as this, it is the people behind the scenes that make it a success. Much thanks must go to all our members that helped —Archie Morris, Gerry Stevens, Greg Kaddatz, Simon Matthews and in particular, Bob Menzies and Cricket Gold Coast’s Richard Griffiths for their efforts in organizing the event.

Police Cricket Championships

Australia / Police Cricket Championships

Since the early 1970s, police from around Australia, and more recently New Zealand, have been gathering biennially to play cricket, share work stories and enjoy the strong friendships which have grown between the teams for the Australia and New Zealand Police Cricket Championships (ANZPCC).

This year Queensland hosted this prestigious event on the Gold Coast during November 2012. Games were played at the Gold Coast District Cricket Club’s home ground at Robina. As usual, Kerrydale Oval was turned out in all its finest which led to some high quality cricket being played. The club had been in discussions planning for the event for twelve months involving then Cricket Gold Coast President, Matt Gill (a former Qld Police Officer and Dolphin), Treasurer, Bob Menzies (former NSW officer) and Secretary, Gerry Stevens (current Qld Officer).

The Queensland Team has enjoyed reasonable success in the past, winning the 2004 carnival in Christchurch and being runners up in 1986, 1988, 2002, 2009 and 2011.

This carnival is a bi-annual event, hosted in a different state or country on a rotating basis. The Queensland Police Cricket Club in essence has been competing in a national competition since 1977 against all other states of Australia and New Zealand .

Participating in this carnival is a very proud tradition and this carnival is held in high esteem. Most sides boast an array of players with either present or past first grade and first class experience and the competition is played at an extremely high standard. Current Bulls player Luke Feldman is a police officer and turned out at the carnival.

Grounds report Kerrydale Oval

As part of the ongoing improvement of facilities, the Club took the decision at the end of the season to upgrade the main wicket block at Kerrydale Oval. The upgrade included additional wickets laid either side of the existing square, laser levelling and re-turfing. The expansion of the wicket block from four to six wickets, will provide better wickets and greater flexibility to host more matches throughout the year.

On an historical aside, this was the first time the Kerrydale wicket has been re-laid since it was initially constructed in 1991. That work, undertaken by Kevin Mitchell Snr, included the use of grass taken from the pitch at the Gabba. In a slight twist of historical fate, the black soil used in this project is the same used by Kevin Mitchell Jnr at the Gabba today.

Gold Coast District Cricket Club Annual Report – Season 2012/13

This year saw the introduction of a new award to the Club—for the Dolphins ‘Player’s Player’. The award is based on a player voting system and is awarded to the player that best displays the Dolphin spirit of playing hard, playing well, but playing fair. Following the inauguration of the award, it was with great pleasure to the Management Committee that Dolphin stalwart Damian Wallis agreed to put his name to the winner’s medal.

In a career spanning 16 years and still going strong, Damian has been the epitome of a great clubman and exceptional performer for the Dolphins. The holder of the record for the most number of 1st Grade and Club appearances (this year surpassing 300 games), Damian also has been a 1st Grade Captain, Queensland 2nd XI representative and holds every Club wicket-keeping record.

Importantly, the Player’s Player Award is separate to the Club's Senior Player of the Year Award (which is based on match performances and statistics) and is based on player votes only.

After a very close voting round (the winning vote was only cast hours before voting closed), Josh Arnold became the inaugural winner of the Damian Wallis Medal for Season 2012/13. This caps off a great year for Josh, who has been an outstanding and quiet achiever across both 1st and 2nd Grades. Final votes saw Josh defeat second placed Greg Moller by 3 votes, with Michael Neser in third.

Life Membership – Greg Kaddatz

At the club’s Annual General Meeting held in May 2012, Life Membership was awarded to Greg Kaddatz. After 20 years at the Dolphins, it was a fitting reward for his distinguished service to the club.

Getting involved when his son Chris played for the Dolphins, Greg’s time at the club has seen him undertake a number of roles. Whether it be the ‘ever present’ Manager of the 1st Grade side, climbing the ladders in all weather conditions to erect sightscreens or simply getting his hands dirty on the grounds, he has done it all. Further, it has always been done without fuss or complaint – in the true spirit of a great clubman. The club also has Greg to thank for many of our structure around the ground and clubhouse – offices, grounds and bowling machine sheds are all part of his handy work.

Well done, and thank you Datzy!

This Report has been prepared for distribution to Members for the purpose of fulfilling the Management Committee’s financial reporting requirements under the Associations Incorporation Act 1981 (Qld).
