The 2017-18 season provided many highlights, yes many were of the ﬁeld but despite no major trophies being won, the performances in Premier Cricket were sporadically impressive.

First Grade reached the Limited Overs semi final, on the back of a stunning 48 ball century from Nic Maddinson in the quarter final at Campbelltown. Third Grade qualified for the Premier semi finals and the young Sixth Grade side also made the final four in the Metropolitan Cup.

Congratulations to Mark Morley who was named by the SCA as joint Third Grade Captain of the Year, accompanying his award as the Easts Player of the Year.

Easts’ Under 19 representatives at the National Championships then the World Cup were headed by Baxter Holt who has secured a Rookie NSW contract for next season.

Peter Nevill, Harry Conway, Nic Maddinson and Will Somerville all played for NSW and Nevill, Conway, Somerville and Henry Thornton have all secured NSW contracts for next season.

There was continued strengthening of the pathway for both boys via the Easts Academy, Green Shield and Grade, and for girls in the T20 Blast and Junior competition, seting up opportunities to pursue Women’s Senior cricket.

Waverley Oval was superbly managed by the Green Options team and looks much improved with the addition of new sightscreens and we thank Cricket NSW, Waverley Council and the local AFL team for working with us to make this a reality.

10 ABOVE: LIFE MEMBERS WITH NEWLY PRESENTED COMMEMORATIVE CAPS

Ladies’ Day and Old Boys’ Day were accompanied by the revelation of Honour Boards in the Tank, thanks to the research and hard yards from Dennis Hourn and Angus Palmer.

A very successful annual Sporting Legends Lunch was held at the SCG where the Club acknowledged the lifelong contribution of Phil O’Sullivan OAM. Liz Thorp was the function mastermind and spread her wings brilliantly to manage this event along with inspiring the organisation of the Club’s Juniors program, which produced no fewer than four champion teams.

Many thanks also to Marcus van Vugt and the dedicated Junior Commitee for all their work in growing and organising our Junior base.

Easts Dolphins continues to give many players the chance to prosper and enjoy their leisure time, by playing cricket and developing strong friendships. Most of the support comes from a group of dedicated volunteers and a very hard working Commitee.

A restructure of the Club’s management structure is planned, identifying key roles for each member of the commitee, and we are pleased to have Michael Bevan return to the Club as the new Director of Cricket Operations, reporting to the High Performance sub-Commitee. This structure will ensure a more efcient and robust management.

In closing I would like to thank everyone who has contributed to the ongoing success of Easts Cricket, particularly Club Secretary, Adrian Tham, who is stepping down afer four years in the role. Adrian, you have been superb.

JIM MAXWELL President 11 SPORTING LEGENDS LUNCH

12 Waverley’s World War I Loss NORM CALLAWAY #131

The second batle of Bullecourt started in France 100 year ago on 3rd May 1917. The ﬁrst batle, on the 11th April 1917, was “a disaster” according to the Australian War Memorial.

Despite this, a further atack across the same ground was ordered for 3rd May. The Australians broke into and took part of the Hindenburg Line but no important strategic advantage was ever gained. In the two batles the AIF lost 10,000 men. One of these was Norman Callaway, who had just turned 21.

Callaway was a cricketer who had played just one ﬁrst-class match for New South Wales. However, in his only innings in that match, he scored 207. That was the last ﬁrst-class match for New South Wales until the War ended.

The match was against Queensland on the Sydney Cricket Ground. Queensland bated ﬁrst and despite being 3-83 at lunch on the ﬁrst day, 19th February 1915, its 1st innings yielded just 137 (James Sheppard 40, William Cullen 4-20, J.L. ‘Lyall’ Wall 4-44). New South Wales had three players making their debut, Cullen, Wall and Norm Callaway.

Callaway came in with New South Wales in trouble at 3-17 afer the tall lef-arm fast-medium bowler Jack McAndrew had bowled Gar Waddy (0), Tommy Andrews (8) and Andy Ratclife (0).

“From the ﬁrst ball he swung the bat with great power and precision at anything within striking distance and the ball hummed to all parts of the ﬁeld at an extraordinary pace”. (Sydney Morning Herald, 20/02/1915, p. 12)

He and opener, Frank Farrar (27), added 41 in 13 minutes. He survived a “red hot chance” when 39, reached 50 in 67 minutes, his century in 94 minutes and slowed down towards stumps when he was 125 not out of 4-228 afer 130 minutes.

He had been joined at 4-58 by Charlie Macartney and by stumps they had added 170 “at a clip which delighted everyone. And the strange part of the story is that the bifng and banging were not done by the litle man of might [Macartney], but by the colt making his first appearance in first-class cricket”. (Referee, 24/02/1915, p. 12) 13 An unwell Macartney had been missed first ball in the slips and at stumps he was 58 not out.

The next day Callaway “immediately got busy”, but later, “for a quarter of an hour he got somewhat reckless, and was missed three times - at 163, 175 and 180 - deep at point, high at mid-of and wide at mid-on. However he setled down again”. (Sunday Times 21/02/1915, p. 12)

Meanwhile, Macartney’s form “was of a high order, for he was hooking, driving and cuting, and making use of his feet in geting to the ball in the manner of his best”. (Referee, 24/02/1915, p. 12)

Macartney made 103 (155 minutes, 5 fours) and added 256 with Callaway before he was the ﬁfh man out at 314. New South Wales added 146 runs in the pre-lunch session of the second day.

Callaway reached 200 in 206 minutes and he was 201 not out of 5-374 at lunch. He fell in the second over afer that interval, the sixth out at 387, having scored 207 (214 minutes, 26 fours).

New South Wales totalled 468 made in 294 minutes of 103.5 overs, only one of which was a maiden. That was delivered by Charlie Barstow when New South Wales was 7-439. Barstow’s ﬁgures, however, were 2-132 of 24.5 overs.

Queensland trailed by 331 runs and was quickly in trouble in its 2nd innings, losing its 1st wicket at 12 and its 2nd at 15. It never recovered, and with Arthur Mailey taking 5-31, it was dismissed for 100 (Sheppard 28, Andrews 2-22), and lost by an innings and 231 runs.)

The Referee, commenting on the ﬁelding, noted that in the Queensland second innings, “Farrar, Andrews, Callaway and Macartney were NORM CALLAWAY exceptionally smart over the ground, and clean and clever in picking up, and [PHOTO: REFEREE, 27.06.1917, P. 16] snappy and straight throwers”.

Norm’s 207 was then a world record for a player making his ﬁrst-class debut. It remains the record for New South Wales.

Norm Callaway was born in Hay, 5th April 1896. He commenced his ﬁrst-grade cricket with Paddington in 1913-14, making his ﬁrst-grade debut on 27th September 1913, aged 17 years 175 days, and top-scored with 41 in Paddington’s innings of 218 against Gordon. Monty Noble (36) was the next best.

Norm scored 578 runs in this season at an average of 41.28 with one century and three half-centuries.

His century, 137 not out against Middle Harbour on 18th October 1913 came in his third First Grade match. It contained 24 boundaries and was described in the Sunday Times as a “superb piece of bating throughout”.

He was selected in the New South Wales Colts’ team to play two matches against the Victorian Colts. In the ﬁrst game at the Sydney Cricket Ground in December 1913, he made 14 and took 1-27 and 1-29.

In the return match on the Melbourne Cricket Ground in January 1914, he made 129 (135 minutes, 21 fours) in the ﬁrst innings and a ‘duck’ in the second innings.

Callaway joined Waverley in 1914-15 and it was from that team that he was selected for his ﬁrst-class debut. Apart from that innings of 207, 1914-15 was only a modest season. He did however ﬁnish second in his club’s averages behind Alan Kippax, with 488 runs at 28.70 with four half-centuries, the highest being 90.

With no first-class matches being played in 1915-16, his cricket was confined to first-grade matches with Waverley. He commenced with four consecutive half-centuries

Afer scores of 61 and 58 in his ﬁrst two matches of that season, he scored 71 and 73 against Petersham. His bating in that match evoked the following description in the newspaper, The Mirror of Australia, 13/11/1915, p. 23

Callaway is a glorious batsman to watch, and is a coming world’s player. He is the personification of confidence, and is like the late Victor Trumper in that he invariably attacks the bowling; and like the late great cricketer, he has also a beautiful swing, the bat generally describing three parts of a circle, and finishing well over the left shoulder. Callaway is a country lad. (HAY)

14 Norm later scored 90, and two undefeated centuries, 101* against Paddington, and 103* against North Sydney, in consecutive innings. He ﬁnished his last match on the 8th April 1916, having scored 705 runs for the season at 58.75.

According to the Nominal Roll, Norm enlisted in the AIF on 27th June 1916 and lef Australia on 7th October of that year on the HMAT Ceramic with the 19th Batalion.

The Sydney Sportsman carried the following article on the 25th April 1917:

N. Calloway (sic), the best bat in the Waverley team, left for the front early in October. He was looked upon as a likely man to become a champion batsman after his great score of 207 made for NSW v Queensland in February 1915. His batting was sadly missed by his club. May he return safe and sound at no distant date is the wish of his numerous friends and of Recorder. [THE PAPER’S CRICKET WRITER] Local Legends Local

Sadly, it was not to be. He was killed in action just eight days later.

He was initially reported as missing in action and it was not until November that his death was conﬁrmed to his relatives. The delay was due to confusion in the fog of war. A member of his batalion who knew him, reported that he was shot in the head while in a trench, and that he actually fell dead on top of him. However, another soldier who did not know him before the incident, claimed that he lef the trench with Callaway and another soldier.

Litle remains of Norm’s life.

He has no known grave.

Prior to leaving for France, Norm had lived with his parents at 22 Ebley Street, Waverley, now Bondi Junction. The houses in that street with odd numbers up to 19 are well preserved. However, number 22, on the other side of the street, is now part of the site of an Ofceworks store.

His sacriﬁce is noted on the Australian War Memorial, Villiers-Bretonneux, France, where he is recognised as one of 10,885 Australians who were killed in France and who have no known grave.

His name can be found on Panel 88 in the Commemorative Area of the Australian War Memorial in Canberra. His name will be projected onto the exterior of the Hall of Memory on Friday, in July and September.

Norm is also listed on the Waverley Soldier’s Memorial 1914-1918 that stands in Waverley Park, Bondi.

Norm’s cricketing feats have been memorialised in the form of the Norman Callaway Medal. This medal was the initiative of West Wyalong cricket doyen John Scascighini. First struck for the 2007-08 season, it is awarded, in respect of Norm’s young age at his death, to the most outstanding under-21 cricketer in the Murrumbidgee Cricket Council, the area from which Norm came.

15 SOCIAL REPORT

With a few new initiatives from the social commitee, the Dolphs ramped up their of- ﬁeld performances in the 2017/18 season. Our goal as Club Captains was to have players from all grades mixing on both the training paddock and on the circuit. It was great to frequently see lower graders mingling with higher graders over a beer at The Tank or The Nelson.

The Nelson jumped on board this year as our pub sponsor and they didn’t disappoint. With one of the beter pub bistros in the Eastern Suburbs, the players were more than happy to have a few too many over dinner at the venue. The Nelson was also host to the Dolphs Christmas Party. It was a ‘terrible shirt’ theme, which required minimal efort for members such as Steve Green and Mat Coles. The night was a huge success, reﬂected by litle to no memory of the evening. We look forward to this partnership with the Nelson continuing for years to come.

The ﬁrst annual Eastern Suburbs Ladies’ Day took place down at the Wavedome on a lovely Sunday afernoon prior to the Christmas break. First Grade had a Twenty20 double header coming away with one win. However the action was happening of the ﬁeld. With just shy of 100 ticketed guests stacked up on the hill, the day lived up to the hype. A huge thank you to everyone who helped in preparation. Hopefully the precedent has been set for a stand-alone day to show our respect to the women who help us play the great game.

This season each grade was given the opportunity to host a night back at The Tank. First Grade got the ball rolling with a hugely successful FRAT party. Second Grade followed up with the Dolphin Trivia night, which focused on quirky statistics and facts on current members of the club. Third Grade decided they should host a night back at their spiritual home with the annual ‘Back to Trumper’ night, which was followed by a Paddington pub crawl. Fourth Grade ﬁnished up with the ‘Dolph Beer Olympics’ in memory of Murray Creed. A big thanks to all Captains who assisted in making these nights happen.

This year the Corporate Lunch was held at the SCG Noble Dining Room. As always, the guests were brilliant. In particular, there were some refreshingly honest chats with Owen Finegan and David Gallop. The event was a huge fundraiser for both the club and the Cure Brain Cancer Foundation. Well done to everyone involved.

It has been an absolute pleasure representing the Club as Club Captains this season. We’re very thankful for the opportunity and would relish the chance for another innings in 2018/19.

19 Cricket is a test in many ways as we all know - for players, ofcials, TWENTY-SECOND organisers and supporters alike. This season has once again seen us ANNUAL REPORT stretched and challenged in a number of ways on and of the ﬁeld. A number of players turned out for club, state and country in 2017/18. We had representatives at First Class level, Big Bash, Under 19 Nationals and the Under 19 World Cup right through to our Juniors being awarded places in the development pathway squads.

While many of us would hope that absences due to representative duty do not take too much away from the Premier Grade competition, it is worth noting the number of matches played in Grade by our lads selected for higher honours. Naturally, all aspiring players want to play as much cricket as possible.

It comes back to opportunities. Opportunities for talented players to step up to the next level against the best from around the state or country or the world which in turn creates opportunities for our lower grade players to play and extend themselves in the next grade up. The ever-changing player availability was handled with great determination by the players, Captains, coaches and Chairman of Selectors.

Well done in particular to Mark Morley, joint Third Grade Captain of the Year and Easts Player of the Year. Mark led his team with bat and ball to reach the semi-ﬁnals. Commitee member, Sixth Grade manager and player Marcus van Vugt efortlessly handled all the demands placed on his shoulders. 6s made the semi-ﬁnals in the Metro Cup afer an extraordinary win against the minor Premiers in blistering heat.

The Junior base has maintained its strength due to our Junior Commitee and parents, complemented by the ever-popular in2CRICKET program. Liz Thorp and Liz Jackson have again led the way and are highlighting the path for the next generation of Dolphins to develop their interest in the game including females.

Going forward we will strive to recognise a Junior and Senior Club Person of the Year so it is a pleasure to recognise Sue Walsh and Barry Clarence as our Club Persons of 2017/18. Sue has volunteered as a Junior scorer, team manager, high performance organiser, BBQs and player administration while Barry has been the Seniors Practice Captain, Poidevin-Gray manager, chief photographer and logistics helper around the grounds.

Of the ﬁeld we are reminded again of what makes a Club like ours endure through the generations – a sense of community. The players and members enjoyed a number of social events throughout the season including player theme nights and the Past Player gathering, with Ladies’ Day and Old Boys’ Day being well atended during which we unveiled our new honour boards. Thanks to Angus Palmer for driving that initiative and for continuing to bring our rich history into the forefront of mind in association with the Social Commitee.

The Sporting Legends Lunch was another big success at the SCG with a packed room and a host of guests that captivated all who atended. It was a time to recognise Club legend Phil O’Sullivan and to ensure that the Juniors are well-supported going into next season. A special thanks to Liz Thorp, Georgina Burnet, Tim Brown, Peter Lovit and Michael Quinn for all their work behind the scenes. Thank you to those who atended and contributed so generously.

For many that observe the engine room of the Club, the outstanding contributors mentioned and their ability to collaborate with others to keep things running smoothly never ceases to amaze, particularly because most of this select group have put in such a commited efort over multiple seasons.

Again there are many who go unnoticed but do so much. To all those who helped in our mission to be a place where people of all ages can engage in a sporting and accommodating environment, we appreciate your support and hard work. One of the most valuable things you have given the Club is your time!

Finally I’d like to thank Jim Maxwell and all Commitee members – you have played a vital role in maintaining Easts Cricket as the highly regarded community organisation it has been for 124 years.

ADRIAN THAM

20 Honorary Secretary The Club delivered a small surplus of $8,000 for the year and has a strong net asset TREASURER’S backing and cash position to ensure that it can invest back into its facilities and REPORT systems in the coming years. As always the Club could not have functioned without the generous support of its sponsors and we owe a big thank you to them for their continuing support. In particular, our major sponsors WOTSO WorkSpace, who opened its 12th co-workspace at Bondi Junction during the year and Sydney Business School which is the renowned post graduate business school of the University of Wollongong.

To our other returning sponsors of Phillip’s Foote (the best steaks in town!), The Easts Group, Staminade, Select Fresh, and Greg Chappell Cricket Centre, it’s fantastic that we can continue to build upon our partnership.

We also welcomed a number of new sponsors to the Dolphin family – Talbot’s Services, Pillinger Real Estate , CANE Financial, The Nelson Hotel, Fi-Ta, Alsaker Private Buyers Agents, Smyth and Smyth Architects and Interior Designers, and Nevill and Hourn Legal.

It’s ofen difcult for businesses to measure what they receive back from supporting their local communities and clubs so I applaud all that do it and I encourage all members of the Easts family to use our sponsors’ services wherever they can.

Anyone that has been up to Waverley Oval this year will be thoroughly impressed by the new sight screens that have been erected at the ground. They have really finished the Oval of and it is definitely the premierStatement community by Committee cricket ground in Sydney now.

COACH’S REPORT

2017/18 would have to go down as a season of missed opportunities.

Opportunities for players to cement spots in grades they wanted to be in, opportunities for teams to get themselves into ﬁnals, opportunities for the Club to get into a top 5 spot in the Club Championship.

We can say that we had a fair bit of hardship with at times up to 35 players unavailable in a round but it is how the available 66 players apply themselves that tells us where we stand as a club. 9th in the Club Championship is probably a fair assessment of where we are at the moment. The majority of Grade clubs have the same standard of player in each grade. Atitude and application deﬁne where teams ﬁnish at the end of the season. We need to be beter at these two parts of the game next season to see improvement.

First Grade came close to making the semis but lost games at crucial times which saw them miss out. They fell a game short of playing in the One Day Final losing to Parramata in the semi. The form of Angus Robson was a standout and Baxter Holt is one to watch next season as he has the maturity of a much older cricketer.

Second Grade ﬁnished 8th afer a slow start but ﬂew home late to miss out by 7 points. Plenty of opportunities for young players to get a taste of a higher level and hopefully they will use that experience to learn and be beter equipped to produce quality performances in the coming seasons.

Third Grade was the standout team for the club this season. Captain Mark Morley controlled his men brilliantly which has seen him named joint Third Grade Captain of the Year by the SCA. Mark instilled in his team what it took to win games of

33 cricket from any position and fell agonisingly close to the Final. The semi ﬁnal defeat was an unfortunate way to ﬁnish the season but I hope the younger players that played Third Grade this season have learnt if you concentrate on your game you will be rewarded.

Fourth Grade ﬁnished in 11th spot being two wins out of the top 6. They were always in and around the botom of the six, but really ran out of troops towards the back end of the season. Fifh Grade led by Luke Course started the season strongly but fell away towards the back end to ﬁnish in 10th position. They too felt the brunt of having so many players unavailable.

Sixth Grade in the Metropolitan Cup also fell a game short of the big show losing in the semi ﬁnal to UNSW. Marcus van Vugt managed the team all season and worked hard to get 11 players on the park each week. It will be interesting to see how many players turn out again next season.

Poidevin-Gray had another disappointing season and really need to look at the way they approach their cricket as they ﬁnished 13th. There is no point having all the talent on paper, if you don’t have the atitude to match.

Green Shield ﬁnished just out of the semis and had no luck with weather in the closing rounds. Lee Kirk and Glenn McCanna again did a great job with the boys showing them what they need to do to move into the next stage of their cricketing lives.

EASTERN SUBURBS COACHING STAFF 2017/18: Steve Green - Senior Coach / Poidevin Gray Coach / Bowling Specialist Greg Clarence - Assistant Coach / Senior and Junior Academy Coach Michael Bevan - Bating Specialist Nathan Bracken - Bowling Specialist Greg Mathews - Spin Bowling Specialist Kevin Pillay - Fielding Coach Ben Sawyer - Bowling Specialist / Senior Academy Coach Lee Kirk - Green Shield Coach / Junior Academy Coach Brendon Lyon - Junior Academy Coach Andrew Grifn - Strength and Conditioning

In closing I want to thank a few people who don’t get thanked enough. Mick Maclennan and the captains for their tireless work selecting teams, geting grounds ready and everything else that is done to put 11 players on the ﬁeld each week. The scorers Owen, Adrian and Toby thank you for your eforts this season. Barry Clarence for what possibly might be the hardest and thankless job in the club “Net Captain”, also being PGs manager.

1st Grade Report

First Grade was once again incredibly well supported of the ﬁeld this season. As Captain, I am constantly amazed and humbled at the amount of work that goes on behind the scenes at our Club. We are very fortunate to have several volunteers that do lots of the heavy lifing to ensure players can access outstanding facilities and take the ﬁeld with a player centred structure behind them. The work from the Commitee is tireless and on behalf of First Grade I would like to thank all Commitee members and volunteers for their support and eforts this season. We are most grateful for everything that you do.

It would be remiss of me not to highlight the eforts of a few key of ﬁeld contributors to our side this year. Geof was once again instrumental in ensuring the smooth running of the canteen and facilities at Waverley Oval. He was ofen supported by his subordinate Steve ‘Sandman’ Abbot which is never an easy task to take on but Geof did it with his usual sincerity and good humour. Thanks Geof, Steve and all others that helped out at Waverley Oval this season!

36 Our home and away game day entourage consisted of Tony (Manager, Financial Advisor, Nutritionist, Psychologist and Phone Usage Inspector), Owen (Scorer and Storyteller) and Barry (Photographer, Practice Captain, Performance Analyst, Honest Appraisal Expert and Club Person of the Year). The time they put in each season towards supporting us in incredible and I know all players are grateful for their ongoing commitment.

Huge thanks to Steve Green, Kevin Pillay, Michael Bevan, Nathan Bracken, Ben Sawyer, Greg Mathews and other members of the coaching structure for their contributions towards player development this season. A particular mention to Greeny for his eforts each week at practice. It’s never easy taking on a coaching role at such a large club but his consistent, honest and considered approach made my life easier as Captain and I know lots of players beneﬁted from his words of advice this season.

Captaincy can be a lonely role at times with selections ofen a contentious topic across all grades. With this in mind, I’d like to personally thank Michael Maclennan (Chairman of Selectors) and all of the other captains for their honesty and support throughout the season under what was arguably the most disrupted season of player availability to date. This coupled with excellent leadership from our Club Captains, Andy Coles and Jackson Couts kept a strong supportive and social culture at the club. Thanks again to all of the above leaders!

Season 2017-18 saw 11 players make their debut in First Grade. 693 – Harry Conway, 694 – Sam Dogget, 695 – George Furrer, 696 – Baxter Holt, 697 – Jack Preddey, 698 – Jason Ralston, 699 – Will Simpson, 700 – Sam Mullens, 701 – Ryan O’Beirne, 702 – Harry Byrnes Howe, 703 – Sam Smyth. It always adds an element of excitement to a match with players being presented their baggy cap before the start of warm up. On each occasion there were well thought out words of support, encouragement, advice and insight into what the Club meant to the Life Members and stalwarts of the club who presented the caps. Congratulations to all players who made their debut and a sincere thanks to those who presented the debutants with their First Grade baggy.

A highlight this season from a team perspective would have to be making the semi-ﬁnals in the one-day competition. We didn’t take our best performance out to Old Kings Oval but it is still an achievement to make the top 4 of any competition of 20 teams. Parramata was always going to be difcult to beat and they proved their class this year by winning the Belvidere Cup against Sydney University.

However, it was the previous match (qualifying ﬁnal) against Campbelltown-Camden that brought out the individual highlight of the year. Chasing 265 for victory against a team that spent most of the season on top of the table, Nic Maddinson walked out with his usual intent to get the scoreboard ticking over. He lef the ﬁeld with the score at 2/145 with 113 of 56 balls next to his name. Maddo brought up his 100 of 48 balls which included a bit of a handbrake for the last 10 deliveries. It was comfortably the most brutal, devastating and classy bating display I’ve ever seen and it has lef a lasting impression on all players and spectators that were in atendance. It’s these kinds of performances that inspire young cricketers and instill a long-term passion for the game.

There were a number of other key individual performances: Will Somerville’s 6/87 against Parramata, Peter Nevill’s 130no against Hawkesbury, Adam Ezekiel’s 101 and 112 against Sutherland and Blacktown respectively, Sam Dogget’s 6/80 against Hawkesbury, Ryan O’Beirne’s 5/25 on debut against North Sydney in the Kingsgrove Sports Twenty20 Cup and Ian Moran’s 113no against Northern District. In First Grade, “Scoty” has now scored 13,153 runs, taken 424 wickets in 393 matches. Simply incredible numbers and ﬁngers crossed he goes around again to add to all of them next year.

From a pathway and representative perspective, we were very well represented; George Furrer, Baxter Holt, Ryan O’Beirne and Jason Ralston all representing NSW U19s with Baxter and Jason going further on to represent Australia at the U19 World Cup held in New Zealand. Sam Dogget is a member of the winning NSW side at the National Indigenous Championship and he was also selected by Cricket Australia to represent the 2018 Aboriginal XI on tour to the UK. Harry Conway, Will Somerville, Nic

37 Maddinson, Peter Nevill and Henry Thornton were all members of the NSW Blues squad. The 2018/19 NSW Blues squad will include ﬁve Dolphins which is once again excellent for the club. Well done to Harry Conway, Will Somerville, Peter Nevill, Henry Thornton and Baxter Holt. Baxter has received a Rookie contract for next season which is exciting news for both Baxter and the Club. Well done to all players who have represented the club in higher honours this season.

My Captain’s Choice for Season 2017/18 went to Angus Robson. “Horse” dominated with the willow on the back of an outstanding work ethic. He is a constant source of energy in the dressing room, on the ﬁeld and in the Tank afer the game. Gussy adopts an unshakable positive and relaxed approach to life but his professionalism the moment he walks out to bat is irrefutable. Afer a few setbacks on the County scene his ability to put consistent scores together demonstrates the desire and talent at his disposal which will undoubtedly result in representative honours in the near future. Well done again fella and all the best for the upcoming seasons ahead!

Finally, on behalf of the team I would like to thank to all of the wives, girlfriends, family members and friends who came down to support at various stages of the season. Your support and encouragement is sincerely appreciated.

Kingsgrove Sports The Dolphins ended the T20 competition with a 2-2 record which meant we missed out on the ﬁnals series. Afer a dominant performance Twenty20 Report in our ﬁrst match, this form unfortunately was not replicated in the following games. There were some shining lights over the season particularly with some of the youth standing up and making a strong impression.

We set a quality blueprint in game 1 at North Sydney Oval where we piled on over 200 runs and defended it through quality catching and ﬁelding, Ian Moran powered to an unbeaten 78 of 52 balls as opener, as the boundary feast continued with Baxter Holt (33 of 23) and Mark Morley (35 of 22) while Will Simpson’s ball striking was brilliant throughout (47 of just 18 balls).

Ryan O’Beirne had a spectacular debut with 5 wickets afer the Bears had a promising start in reply.

The trip to Newcastle for game 2 played out diferently and the loss up there took away any momentum that may have been with the Dolphins despite a valiant chase with the bat from Jack Preddey (71 of 59) following Sam Dogget’s 3/29.

41 We then lost game 3 to Randwick Petersham in the first match of the double-header at Waverley – three baters made good starts but couldn’t post the runs required in the chase. A consolation victory in the last preliminary match against Illawarra saw Angus Robson (62 of 50) and Ian Moran (54 of 43) combine for a century opening stand with Easts bating first. We successfully defended our total afer Tom Skelly (3/20) and Jack Preddey (2/13) led the bowling with a set of economical spells. So we finished on a positive note as we joined the Ladies’ Day and Old Boys’ celebrations.

There is a strong group of young players that bodes well for the future of the Dolphins. The T20 game has evolved and the youngsters who came into the side this season have the skills which are well suited to the format. It was a pleasure to captain the side.

Firstly, I would like to thank all the players who contributed to the Second Grade 2nd Grade Report team this season. The 2017-18 season was an enjoyable one but disappointing in terms of results, finishing 8th and 8 points outside of the top six does not show how close we could have come to a finals appearance. The results didn’t reflect the competitiveness, talent and commitment to the team. Throughout the season, we enjoyed our cricket as a playing group and more ofen than not we pushed teams to the very end. Although we missed playing in the finals, the efort of every player that played Second Grade this season cannot be faulted. It seemed on more than one occasion that luck wasn’t on our side, lessons were learnt, some harder than others but most importantly, lots of experience gained. Puting all of these together makes for beter and hungrier cricketers next season.

The season can easily be summed up in one short phrase ‘Hot and Cold’. To give you an idea of the Hot and Cold, we won one game outright (almost losing ﬁrst innings), scored 300+ twice and lost, won two limited overs games with bonus points, survived a defeat through weather only, pushed for several outright victories, bowled out Gordon for 80, and ﬁnally collapsing to lose 5-20 and 6-60 in separate matches only to scrape home in the dying stages.

In terms of individual performances, it was particularly pleasing to see the emergence of Sam Smyth, Harry Byrnes Howe, Will Simpson, Ryan O’Beirne, Will Lawrance and Sam Mullens, all of whom debuted in First Grade this season. All fantastic achievements and well deserved. I am hopeful that I can stick around for a few more years to see how the likes of these players progress. We are all looking forward to what they can produce in 2018-19. The Club had more depth this season and in turn Second Grade was able to beneﬁt from this, but unfortunately as the season rolled on injuries, representative duties and other constraints on player availability took its toll. We had 30 players making up our side during the summer, which made it hard to string together the consistent performances we were afer.

Once again, Second Grade got of to a slow start, losing our ﬁrst four matches, which proved to be detrimental to our position on the ladder – one that we could not fully recover from. The raw talent and skill level displayed by some of the young cricketers is very promising, and if they continue to develop in the coming years, then I am conﬁdent that the future of the Dolphins is in great hands. Like previous seasons, we were strong with the ball, having a bowling unit mixed with both experience and youth. Credit must go to the baters who showed the ability to bat time, build on strong starts and to chase scores, something that has been missing in previous seasons.

We have taken a small step forward from last year and our bating began to resemble the sort of consistency required to be competitive at this level. We had four individual centuries throughout the summer and must look to build on this next season if we are to progress forward to play ﬁnals cricket. We learnt to win the closer games but will need to compete from Round 1 if we want to be near the top of the ladder at the end of the regular season. Nevertheless, let’s take a quick look back at some of the season’s highlights.

45 Bating • Sam Smyth led the way at the top of the order, scoring 417 runs at 32.08. By Smythy’s high standards, he would have been a bit disappointed with this afer a strong start to the season. His consistency and discipline naturally earned him higher honours and was rewarded with selection in First Grade. Smythy always contributed well to the team environment, improving his fielding immeasurably afer departing the slip cordon. • Harry Byrnes Howe had a very good season in Second Grade; he was second in the run scoring with 372 runs at 41.33 from only 9 games! The runs Harry scored were entertainment packed, enigmatic exemplars of why he should be a constant in the top grade. • We scored four individual centuries this year – Sam Smyth 114, Harry Byrnes Howe 126, Will Lawrance 118 and Udit Mehta 100. Lawro’s century against UNSW was an innings of patience, discipline and concentration. He came to the crease at 6-113 and blasted twelve boundaries and two sixes in his debut Second Grade match for Easts, albeit in a losing cause. Udit’s century against Sydney on a tough wicket was a match winning innings. He bated responsibly and played some terrific strokes whilst all of the other batsmen were dismissed around him. If Udit can find this form again next season, he will certainly challenge for a regular position. • Bruno Broughton, our overseas player. Quality as a player, as a teammate and as a bloke. He is easy on the eye as a batsman, to add to his bating, he is an excellent fielder and more than a handy bowler. • Will Simpson, Peter Lazarus, Mat Sarkies, Tom Gallop and Sam Mullens all made good contributions with the bat at various stages throughout the season. Greater consistency from these guys will see them feature more regularly and all are good enough to challenge for First Grade honours.

Bowling • Jono Smith led the atack. His 15 wickets were all hard work and persistence. He had an interrupted season with injury and this no doubt afected his stats. Jono took 5-40 against Sydney and demonstrated his consistency with strong performances in both First and Second Grade. • Tas Yazdani had a solid year also, claiming 16 scalps in 9 matches at an average of 19. The two highlights being a master class of swing bowling against Gordon, which saw Tas claim 7-15 from 10 straight overs. The other being a superb spell of reverse-swing bowling against Hawkesbury, which saw him return with the figures of 5-56 and in doing so passed 200 Grade wickets for Easts. • Mat Sarkies made an immediate impact afer returning from overseas. He took 17 wickets at an average of 14 from only 8 matches, including his career best figures of 7-38 against St George. Sark’s is a key player in Second Grade with both bat and ball and produced some crucial spells whilst also contributing vital runs towards the back end of an innings. • Tom Skelly spent a handful of matches in Second Grade at the beginning of the season. His pace made him unplayable at times and he proved to be problematic for most opposition sides. Skel rightfully earned himself a regular spot in First Grade where he became an integral part of the side going forward. • Ryan O’Beirne also played, and bowled, in Second Grade this year; however, it was not so much the bowling of Ryan, which caught the atention of his teammates. This guy is a terrific entertainer and certainly brings fun to grade cricket. • Our spinning all-rounder Will Lawrance did well when given opportunities in Second Grade this season, and importantly will be beter for the experience next season.

Fielding • Our wicketkeeper this season was the energetic and hard working Sam Mullens, who performed terrifically well. His def and ever-improving glove work saw him debut in First Grade with strong performances. Whilst coupled with telling contributions with the bat down the order, it was his experienced knock against Sutherland guiding the Dolphins home for first innings points (leading to an outright victory) that cemented him as a Second Grade Hero! • Generally our fielding was prety good this season, although there is always room for improvement. Our throwing, ground fielding, catching and intensity were all at pleasing levels, despite some momentary lapses. Notwithstanding this, the high standard of catching behind the stumps led by Harry Byrnes Howe, Bruno Broughton, Chris Wood and Will Simpson will remain one of the many highlights of the season.

To Mark Morley and Third Grade, congratulations on a successful season and making the semi-ﬁnals. Unfortunately, results didn’t go their way, however it was an excellent achievement and the Third Grade team should be proud of their eforts. The same can be said about the youngsters and their experienced mentors that propelled Sixth Grade to the ﬁnal four.

To the Commitee, which entrusted me with the Second Grade captaincy, thank you for the vote of conﬁdence. I certainly learnt a lot about myself, and cricket along the way. It would be remiss of me not to thank my predecessor and club ﬁelding coach

46 Kevin Pillay, who helped me throughout the season to adjust to the new role. He made this job look easy and I hope that I did the role justice.

If it wasn’t for the endless voluntary support we receive as players, it would be impossible to enjoy our Saturdays as much as we all do! My sincere thanks to the coaching staf for geting us ready to play each week and sacriﬁcing their time on game days. Thank you also to all of the wives, girlfriends, family and friends who come down to support throughout the season, your encouragement is much appreciated.

Finally, an extra special mention to Club Secretary and Second Grade scorer Adrian Tham. I’m sure I speak on behalf of everyone at Easts when I say that space and time does not permit the words necessary to do justice to your role at the Club. Your efort throughout the week and on game days at Waverley is beyond comprehension. Thank you very much, the club is indebted to you for your ongoing contributions.

Moving into next season, I hope to see everyone back on board and celebrating premiership success across the grades. Easts is a great club with a proud history, and it is our responsibility as players to ensure that this is continued both now and into the future. It is an honour not only to represent Easts, but also to captain a side. I have not taken the opportunity for granted and hope to contribute until my body ﬁnally gives in! See you next year…

The 2017/2018 season for Third Grade was a year of highs and lows, 3rd Grade Report however ultimately an extremely enjoyable season both on and of the ﬁeld. The season ended with a disappointing loss to Sydney in the semi- ﬁnals. Although this was a disappointing result, it was an outstanding achievement given we used 35 diferent players throughout the year.

Out of the 15 round games we managed 9 wins, only losing one two-day game in the entire regular season. This was testament to some outstanding individual performances throughout the season, which included: • Harry Brooks taking 5-48 against UNSW in Round 2, giving us our first win of the season in a game that we looked like losing in stages of the second day. • Bruno Broughton’s 105 against Hawkesbury in Round 3. In a rain afected game against a strong Hawkesbury side Bruno got us home late on day two with a run a ball hundred which would prove crucial in helping us make the top six. • Angus Palmer and Campbell Pert taking 8 wickets between them against Fairfield in Round 6. Given every other game in 3s this round was a washout and that we managed to win with about 15 minutes lef to spare gave us a very important 6 points. This was made all the more impressive given 16 year-old Campbell was playing his second ever game of Grade cricket. On day one Palms also took his 250th wicket for the club, which is an outstanding achievement for an outstanding bloke. • In Round 8, Palms again running through Wests’ top order as well as a crucial 62 to Udit Mehta giving us an important win going in to the Christmas break. • JJ Couts taking 5-30 against St George in Round 11. Afer losing a few games in a row afer Christmas this was a huge win for us, given JJ’s work commitments it was also his first game in 3s for the season. • A 110-run partnership between Steele Brown and JJ Couts in Round 12 against Campbelltown-Camden saved us from being bowled out for less than 150 in a game that we really had to win to make the semi-finals. JJ backed up his innings with figures of 3-11 of 8 which kept Campbelltown completely out of the game. • Round 13 was a huge game for us against Sydney. Given they were 6 points ahead of us we really needed a win to cement a semi-final spot. In Palms’ 150th game for the Club, Tim Brown absolutely decimated Sydney’s bating taking 6-42 to win the game on his own. In a game which saw us with around 8 unavailable players, to have the luxury to call on someone as experienced as Brownie was a huge turning point in our season. Brownie again proved that he will take wickets wherever he plays and is an absolute Club legend. • JJ winning us the game on his own against Minor Premiers Parramata in Round 14 securing us a semi-final spot was one of the best spells of bowling I’ve ever seen. Afer being rolled for 122 and Parra cruising at 0-20, JJ took 7-35 of 19 overs. This was backed up by excellent slips catching by Ollie Maxwell in his 100th game for the Club. You would be hard pressed to find a beter bloke than “O-lad” and I can’t think of anyone you would rather have next to you in the field in a situation like that.

Unfortunately, we could not keep this up in the semi-ﬁnals with some prety poor bating displays costing us a premiership. Regardless, it was a great season and a privilege to captain such a good bunch of blokes. In my ﬁrst season as a Captain there are a few blokes I’d like to thank and a few things I’d like to mention.

50 Firstly, throughout the season we had four blokes under the age of 17 play signiﬁcant roles for our side. Campbell Pert, Alex Sidhu, Josh Martin and Joel Canceri all did an outstanding job as young blokes in the early days of their Grade careers. All four of these kids busted their guts when asked to play this year and I couldn’t be happier with their atitudes and the efort they applied throughout the season. Having the ability to play young blokes in 3s is testament to the hard work of Lee Kirk and Glen McCanna with the Green Shield squad. It’s these eforts that will keep the Club in a strong position in the coming years.

I’d like to thank Steve Green for his eforts and commitment to us as a club throughout the whole season. It’s tough work being responsible for 6 separate sides but Greeny always went above and beyond for us as a team and for any individual player who needed anything, including myself when I needed to whinge about something.

I’d also like to thank all of the other Club volunteers that made my job as a ﬁrst year captain as easy as possible. Without their eforts we wouldn’t be the club that we are and your eforts are greatly appreciated.

Afer feigning retirement, geting Palms back in Round 5 was one of the best things that happened to us all year. Palms regularly goes above and beyond for the Club and puts in more efort on and of the field than anyone I’ve ever been involved with in any cricket club. From turning up early to help make sure drinks are ready to ensuring half of Sydney Uni’s team for the other semi-final were made ineligible to play, Palms made my job as a first year captain of the field so much easier and I am extremely greatfull for everything he has done for me and for the Club. On the field Palms had a few milestones this season taking his 250th wicket for the club and playing his 150th game which are both outstanding achievements.

Lastly, my biggest regret for our season was that we couldn’t win a comp in Brownie’s last season. In my time at the Club I have watched Brownie continually go out of his way to do things to help people within the Club. I can’t think of an individual that would do more for blokes for the good of the Club and as a result he is one of the most respected blokes within the Club. On the ﬁeld, Brownie ofers so much as a leader and with the ball in pressure situations. Whenever Brownie had the ball in his hand I felt like we would be alright. Tim is an absolute club legend and regardless of whether he’s playing or not, as long as he is involved at the Club we will be heading in the right direction.

I can’t imagine many clubs having a beter bunch of volunteers and commitee members than we do, thank you to everyone who has helped contribute to the Club this year. Hopefully 3s can go two games beter next season!

4th Grade Report Five wins from the last seven rounds was not enough to recover from a poor start to the season as 4s ﬁnished the home and away rounds at 11th on the table.

2017/18 had its share of ups and downs but we are encouraged by a series of strong performances where the younger players combined well with the more seasoned senior players.

There was just one win from the ﬁrst 4 rounds – a genuine all-round efort against UNSW. From the other matches, Jono Bank top-scored with 78 against Hawkesbury while Dan Donato claimed 6/29 against the eventual premiers, Manly-Warringah.

Back to back wins in Rounds 5 and 6 were highlighted by Michael Quinn’s maiden Grade century against Sutherland, and an outstanding 114 from Darcy Mathews versus Fairﬁeld-Liverpool, one of 3 tons for Darcy during the season.

Losses in Rounds 7 and 8 almost ended the season before Christmas but to the lads’ credit, they bounced back in Round 9 led by youngster Finn Stenmark with a ﬁne all-round efort taking 3 wickets and scoring a half century against Mosman.

Round 10 proved to be a crucial match as the team tried to stay in touch with the top 6. Afer bating ﬁrst and posting a competitive 166 at Trumper, Captain Sam Powell scoring 56, Gordon was cruising at 3/113 when the evergreen Tim Brown turned the game on its head claiming 4 wickets without further addition to the score. JJ Couts took the next two wickets on 121 and the lads looked to be on the verge of victory. It wasn’t to be as the last Gordon pair grafed their way past the target and only a miracle would see the Dolphs make the ﬁnals from there.

At this point, you would be forgiven for thinking there was nothing to play for and performances would reﬂect this. In contrast, the lads lifed to their best form of the season despite an extensive list of unavailable players. Darcy Mathews smashed 131 in a convincing win over the Saints, there was a comfortable win against the Ghosts and a huge win over a Saturday and Sunday at Drummoyne against Sydney (Powell scoring his maiden Grade century) gave the side and the Club a healthy boost up the table.

The team finished the season on a winning note against Bankstown and 4s ended up two wins outside the finals places. Thank you to all the players who took the field during 2017/18 – well done to Kirk Rimmer who topped the team’s run charts and Tim Brown for leading the wicket- takers for the umpteenth time. There is also a host of youngsters that we are looking forward to seeing in the coming years.

In addition, a special note of acknowledgement to George Black who prematurely ended his extended break from cricket to bolster the playing stocks in the last few rounds.

A huge thanks to those that supported the team of the ﬁeld, particularly at the home games – Steve Abbot, Andrew Taucher, David Smyth and the friends and families of the players who helped out behind the scenes. Also, the work carried out by the Captains, Mick Maclennan, the Commitee, Steve Green and the coaching staf was much appreciated by all.

The 2017-18 season was a typical season of 5th Grade lower grade cricket – with a myriad of ups and downs, wins and losses. There were many strong Report performances both individually and as a team; for almost the entire season we were within touching distance of a finals berth. Inconsistency cost us in the end with too many poor performances against weaker teams. That said, we had an impressive record of taking it right up to the paceseters of the competition. In terms of specific matches, there were a few clear highlights as a team: 58 Round 3 vs Hawkesbury An absolutely dominant display There are a few individuals also worth mentioning for where we scored 4/251 in only 48 overs on a rain afected their contributions throughout the season (in order of the day one.

We chased quick runs and time. declared at 2/145 led by the graceful Terry Mystakas (62*) and Mitch Sciberras Made a big impact in his 5 games with his Alex van Vugt (38).

Seeing the dominant performances of some of our younger players in the 5s and 6s leaves the club in good stead for the future. Despite having to spend every second Saturday at Snape, I think we all enjoyed the season. I am not sure too many of us will miss the strange smells, moulds and insects that can only be found in the change rooms at Snape Park. Until next year.

The 6th Grade team started with a wicket on the very ﬁrst ball of the season 6th Grade Report and ended the season with a tough loss in the semi-ﬁnal some 6 months later. In between it was a roller-coaster ride.

The team struggled to find players at times, particularly when the higher grade teams were short of players. Some 50 players took the field for us this year and meant that we lacked consistency from week to week. Some weeks the team was as strong as, if not stronger, than 5th Grade and other weeks we took to the field with a scratch team of 7 or worse and had to forfeit. We managed to go through the season with 5 captains: Robbie Ensor, Hugh Pilkington, Mitch Clayton, Tom Winters and Nathan Moxey. My thanks go to all of them for their on-field leadership and their mentoring of younger players.

Where we had continuity of players for several weeks, the team showed great teamwork and a sense of enjoyment which generally led to solid wins. Given the lack of team continuity we still managed to make the top 6 and beat the top team, Penrith, in the qualifying ﬁnal to make the semi-ﬁnal where we played a tough match but missed out on higher accolades. The great performances across the board meant that the 6th Grade team was rich pickings for the higher grade teams seeking to inject quality into their line-ups.

I would like to highlight the eforts at training of the 6s squad. Tom Speiser, Gabe Joseph, Cameron Walker and Corey de Wit in particular were seen at virtually every training session and significantly improved their game skills by working with the grade players and seeking advice on all aspects of their game. 63 Significant highlights on the field include: a blistering 182 from Nikshep Mekala (142 balls, 21 fours, 7 sixes) that saw the team defeat a disheartened UNSW team, a 128 from Tom Fedorow (129 balls, 18 fours, 1 six) combined with a 103* from Alex van Vugt (122 balls, 14 fours, 3 sixers) had the team comfortably chase a challenging 254 in a few hours against a Waringah team that had no answers, 100* from Yianni Theodorakopoulos (125 balls, 8 fours) in a win against Bankstown, 5/43 for Corey de Wit of 17 overs in a semi-final loss against UNSW and 5/70 for Vedant Agrawal in a drawn match against Randwick Petersham.

There was great depth in the bating throughout the season with Mitch Clayton, Josh James, Harry Dakin, Archie Cornell, Freddie Walton, Oliver Ruse, Will Thorp and Nathan Moxey all registering half centuries. Corey de Wit, Satish Kala, Angus Hayward and Shreyan Deshpande all managed to snare 10 or more wickets for the season.

Many thanks go to Barry Clarence for his support and photography throughout the season, Geof de Mesquita for atending the canteen on our Sunday home games (we provided the best lunches and afernoon teas according to the umpires!) and particularly Toby Clayton for providing real time scoring and video footage. It was a very enjoyable season and the Club has the basis of a team that can win the Metro Cup next season.

66 Unfortunately, the Under 21s side had a disappointing campaign in the 2017/18 Poidevin-Gray season. With plenty of hype at the start of the season around what was a very talented squad on paper, losing the early rounds and then having rounds 3 and 4 Shield Report washed out was always going to make it tough to recover and build momentum for a successful season. However back to back wins against North Sydney gave us a chance of playing ﬁnals but the team failed to ﬁre at the back end of the season when the competition switched to the 50-over format, winning only 1 of the remaining 3 games.

Despite the team’s disappointing efort, on a positive note there were many glimpses of the individual talent on display throughout the year. Jason Ralston ofen fired with the ball and was rewarded with figures of 4/21 of 10 overs against Blacktown in what was a very impressive spell. Baxter Holt showcased his hiting ability with the bat against North Sydney where he made 76 in the first game and the backed this up which a very entertaining 91 in the second game, clearing the fence multiple times. In the last game of the year James Hooke showed how capable he can be with the ball, taking 4 wickets against quality opposition in UNSW, seting the game up for Will Simpson whose mature 71 steered us home.

I would also like to congratulate Jason Ralston and Baxter Holt who were both selected to represent Australia at the Under 19 World Cup, as well as Ryan O’Beirne and George Furrer who represented NSW Country and NSW Metro respectively at the National carnival. Throw into the mix Henry Thornton who of course plays for the Sixers and NSW, it was great to see so many representative players come out of the squad. Besides these players, many had great success in their respective grade sides, reaching key milestones throughout the year, such as Will Simpson who made his First Grade debut and Will Lawrance who made his First Grade T20 debut and scored his maiden grade hundred in Second Grade.

Whilst the side as a whole acknowledges that we underachieved, with Henry and myself the only two players to drop out of the squad going forward, I have no doubt with the talent on ofer that this group can go on to well and truly challenge for the title next year. It is with great excitement I look forward to what the guys can ofer with beter application and desire to the PG cause.

It would of course be remiss of me not to thank the many people who helped us throughout the season. David Smyth, Andrew Taucher and Peter Lovit were always on hand to set up the ground and help were possible. A massive thank you must also go to Geof de Mesquita for his help in the canteen and stepping up as manager when required. Owen and Adrian scoring throughout the year were also greatly appreciated, especially when they already put in so much efort scoring on a Saturday. To be able to turn up to such support, especially on a Sunday, is something that does not go unnoticed and the team cannot express their thanks enough.

More directly related to the team, a massive thank you must go to Barry Clarence. Barry’s eforts as manager were second to none, not only would he always be ﬁrst on ground to set up and take his photos, he would also ofer great support and advice when needed and even stepped up to a coaching role for the last game. Thanks for all your help Barry!

Lastly, Steve Green must be thanked for his coaching eforts. In trying circumstances on many occasions Steve always gave one hundred percent and tried to get the most out of the team. Unfortunately, his eforts were not reflected in the team’s results, but it was clear to see, through the development of many players throughout the season, the significant influence Steve’s coaching had. Thanks Greeny!

Finally I’d like to thank the Club for backing me as Captain in what was my ﬁrst year at Easts. Whilst it would have been nice to see beter results, it was a huge honour to lead the team. Thanks again to everyone for making it an enjoyable season and to all those that made the season what it was and who made my job very easy!

Season 2017-18 for the Easts under 16 Green Shield team was somewhat frustrating. A.W. Green We won 3 and lost 3 along with 1 poor washout which ultimately cost us the chance Shield Report to make the semi ﬁnals.

We had a young group with 9 boys eligible to play again next season. This is a real positive if these boys can continue to grow and improve their games.

69 Most of the time our bowling and ﬁelding was as good as any team, it was our bating that really let us down.

As a group, we failed to make a single half century and were bowled out in every game. Having said this, As a coach I was proud of the eforts and have litle doubt about the skill level of these boys. It was the execution that was lacking along with some game awareness that was probably our biggest restraint throughout our season.

I would like to make special mention to the boys who are now moving on. Hopefully we can see these boys playing for many years to come representing our senior grade teams.

Jack Allen was a fantastic country leg spinner who played a quality senior role in the team. We thank you Jack, and your family for your eforts and quality contributions along with all of the travel coming up from Bega over the past 2 seasons.

Campbell pert was our leading wicket taker and player of the year. His eforts earned him selection into the NSW under 17s Squad. Congratulations to Campbell who certainly shook up some batsman along the way with some very fast bowling at this level.

Our Skipper Ken Chu also moves on and was a very mature leader throughout the season. Ken showed plenty of courage playing through injury in most games.

We say goodbye to Joel Canceri and Adham Mikhael who were also good leaders along with Sachveer Singh who came over from Blacktown and showed good maturity and patience with litle opportunity.

I would also like to thank the Club for all the support in allowing these boys to atend and train with the senior group. This opportunity plays a huge part in the kids development being able to train and be challenged training with the grade boys. Thanks to our team manager- Glen McCanna along with Barry Clarence who was our team photographer and Marcus who volunteered to score.

Thanks to the parents for helping with the lunches and for giving us the space and trust to ensure our campaign remains a high performance environment.

71 The Easts Masters again dusted of the whites MASTERS and turned out for some competitive cricket in the 2017/18 season. Through washouts and REPORT lack of opponents we were reduced to just 4 games this year - and went within a whisker of producing a perfect season.

The games started with a new opponent, the Coogee Schnitzel Heads led by Easts long time player John McCallum. Due to rain, the match was transferred from Waverley Oval to Queens Park Oval – facilitated by the fact that John is the Master of Cricket at Waverley College! Masters bated ﬁrst and on a very difcult, popping pitch were in immediate trouble at 4 for 32. At that stage Jimmy Smith and Steve Green came together to steady the ship and guide the side to a respectable 135 from our alloted 30 overs. Smith made 39 while Green remained unbeaten on 49 – and the importance of his huge six on the ﬁnal ball of the innings was not to be underestimated.

With the ball, Green was just as potent – turning the clock back to his “fast” bowling days, picking up 2–15 and troubling all batsmen. Combine that with how the pitch was playing and a rejuvenated, technically perfect Marcus Levy (2-10) afer a break from cricket of 25 years, and it was trouble for the Schnitzel Heads. They were in danger of facing a knock out blow at 5 for 35 but stubborn middle order resistance saw them needing 12 of the last over. Ever reliable of spinner Paul Hootman conceded only 7 in the ﬁnal over and the good guys got home in a thriller.

Next game was the annual clash with the Reg Bartley XI, aptly played at the picturesque Reg Bartley Oval. Wayne Geber at the top of the order, white shorts, loud calling and all got us of to a ﬂyer with a well compiled 24 while consistent Dan Bafsky made the same score bating at three. Afer that things fell away quickly with the team only able to scramble to 102. We thought this would be enough. It wasn’t.

Reg Bartley XI were in all sorts of trouble at 5 for 35 and to be honest, conﬁdence was high in the Masters camp. Perhaps too high. RB XI’s MacLeod, bating 6, came to the crease and hit a sparkling 48 to take the game away from us. In the 29th over RB XI scored the winning runs despite the returns of Jimmy Smith (3-8) and Rino Tomasiello (3-37). It may have been the loss we needed to have.

One of the matches we look forward to is against nemesis Old Sydneyians who have proven too good over the last couple of seasons. Bowling ﬁrst we had them on toast at 6 for 31 and all looked right in the world. Kough came to the crease and pulverised our atack, sparing no one and hiting 5 sixers and 4 fours in an innings of 63 not out. Their total of 124 was enough to be troubling.

We shouldn’t have worried. Old stager Rino Tomasiello was faultless with 48 not out at the top of the order and got assistance from John McCallum (26) and Andrew McDonald (18 not out) for the Masters to record a strong win. A notable inclusion to the side was Phil Winterton, a player lost too young to Easts Cricket. Ten years afer retirement Phil turned back the clock ﬁnding good speed to register the ﬁgures of 1 for 8 from 5 overs.

Overall season 2017/18 showed that there was some life in the old dogs yet and we look forward to representing Easts Cricket, maybe in far of lands, in the years to come.

Yours in cricket

72 The ESCC Juniors had yet another fantastic year with continuing growth JUNIORS REPORT in numbers with some 700+ youngsters participating in the Club from in2CRICKET, T20 Blast through to Under 15s.

Firstly, a big thanks to all coaches, managers and parents for their participation in the Club this year. The efort to put a team on the pitch every week requires signiﬁcant efort, and we continue to be very grateful for your contribution. I’d also like to thank our club sponsors without whom we would not be able to get everyone out on the ﬁeld week to week.

I would like to particularly thank Liz Thorp, Iain Dunstan, Mark Hodgson, Josh Lasky, Michael Herlihy, Mat Anderson, Jack Ford, Sue Walsh John Kyriazis, Peter McIntyre and Rod Foord for their time and efort over the season. I would like to recognise the dedication of Peter Sciberras, Karen de Wit, Mat Anderson, Anthony Greenhill and Nick Theodorakopoulos for their participation on the SEJCA Commitee. In addition to their work for our juniors they are working on ensuring the Association too is doing all it can to foster the development of cricket.

I’d also like to recognise Samad Shaikh and Andrew Jones, both of Cricket NSW, for their support for our junior club and the efort they have made to ensure our needs as a club are considered in the administration and operation of junior cricket.

Our juniors continued their partnership with the Sydney Sixers again this year. Our kids enjoyed many special occasions at BBL games and the discounts available to families. We look forward to continuing the partnership in season 2018/2019 when the Big Bash will become even bigger.

We ran once again, with Cricket NSW, a Friday night Girls T20 competition. These Waverley Oval sessions were very well atended and with signiﬁcant growth bode well for our continued push to broaden our club as a place that supports and grows female cricket. We thank all the parents involved for giving up their Friday evenings. We ran two teams in the Saturday Girls competition with signiﬁcant success, the girls have now played for a number of seasons and are well positioned to play in the wider Sydney competition next season. Many thanks go to Jack Ford for his leadership of the teams and well done to all those involved.

73 Saturday morning is in2CRICKET time at Waverley Oval. Thanks to Liz Jackson for heading up this important program which is the starting point for many of our juniors. Under the ‘guidance’ of grade players the 120+ kids learnt the basics of cricket in a really fun atmosphere. Also thanks to club Senior Coach, Steve Green, for ensuring that the grade players continue to participate in this really important aspect of cricket development.

Our Under 8s have moved from the in2CRICKET format to the T20 Blast format, and many thanks must go to Emma Onus for her coordination of all teams, children and parents in what is proving a very enjoyable introduction to cricket for many of our youngsters. Additionally we commenced a mixed Friday night T20 Blast program at Waverley Oval as an alternative and in some cases, in addition to the Saturday sessions. First Grade player, George Furrer organised the youngsters and provided a great platform for broader participation.

Club Competition

Our success as a junior club is not measured by the number of wins during a season but rather by the number of kids who return next season. That being said congratulations go to the U14 Marlins, U13 Scorchers, U12 Scorchers and U11 Piranhas who won their Grand Final matches.

We have a challenge in our area with the large number of private school kids who from U13 onward choose to no longer play club cricket. We recognise the challenges that playing long games on Saturday for School cricket followed by club cricket and other demands on Sundays bring and we are working with Cricket NSW and the association to see what we can do to make it easier for kids to continue their club participation.

Having some really gifed players in our ranks poses a challenge in ensuring balanced teams. This has been a particular challenge at the older age groups where we don’t have large numbers of players. Our U16 team, played only 2 games in the season before 9 out of the 11 players had representative duties. The team disbanded afer these two games with players going onto Green Shield (U16) and 6th Grade (seniors) cricket thereafer. We had a very solid U15 team which made the semiﬁnals but are also strained by having a disproportionate number of rep players. Coach, John Kertesz managed to ﬁnd replacements at short notice to ensure the team remained competitive to the end. As a club we are working on ways to ensure broader participation in both junior formats as well as providing juniors with the experience of playing in the seniors Metro Cup competition.

We had 30+ boys participate in the NSWDCA representative season, and we congratulate each of them on their success.

74 We also have to speciﬁcally thank those players that ‘ﬁlled’ in for the representative players during the rep season. In many cases, younger players had the opportunity to step up to a higher age group and acquited themselves very well. Special thanks to the team managers that managed to hold their team together through what is a challenging time.

A very special congratulations go to Campbell Pert for his selection in the NSW U17 Metro team, Yianni Theodorakopoulos for his selection in the NSW U15 School team, Shehan Sinnetamby and Alex van Vugt (U16 NSW Academy), Asher Learmonth and Ned Paterson (U15 NSW Academy), Jonah Trope, Hamish Morrison and Daniel McSweeny (U14 NSW Academy), Oliver Paterson, Dylan Melvey, William Walker (U13 NSW Academy). We have a fantastic representation at this elite junior level and it bodes well for the future of the Club!

Junior Development

We started the season with the Easts Junior Academy. A number of boys were taken through their paces pre-season. The focus was on high-end net based sessions facilitated in 2 groups with the ‘senior’ group focusing on the demands of Green Shield and grade cricket and the ‘younger’ group focussed on broader skills and game development. A big thank you to Brendan Lyon and Lee Kirk for their leadership of the Academy this season. We will be extending the Academy to a wider audience in the coming season with trials for the younger players and will continue to focus on predominantly U16 and U14 players to prepare them for the move to Sydney Grade(Premier) Cricket.

Our Wednesday afernoon aged based session were once again a great success. Players from across the age groups descended upon Waverley where Brendan Lyon and a number of senior coaches took our youngsters through specialist development skills. Players and coaches appreciated the diferent insights and approaches that were applied. Thanks to Brendan and the team and a special thanks to Sue Walsh for her coordination and administration of this important aspect of player development.

Future Planning

Our planning for the upcoming season is already well in play and will extend the great work that the Commitee has started. We will be reaching out to parents shortly to make our club stronger for the coming season and to enhance the opportunities for all our junior players. I can advise that Paul Frampton and Mark Hodgson will start to drive the future of the junior club and I thank them sincerely in taking on this important function. I will be supporting them throughout the season which will allow me time to focus on broader club responsibilities.

We understand parents have a choice about what sport their child might play on a weekend. We also know the commitment to playing cricket is not taken lightly by you and your families. Thank you for choosing Eastern Suburbs Cricket Club as your son’s and daughter’s club and thank you for choosing cricket.

75 in2CRICKET Report

The MILO in2CRICKET program teaches kids of all abilities about the basic skills of cricket. Participants develop fundamental motor skills which set them up for a lifelong involvement in physical activity, as well as important social skills including teamwork and being a good sport. Each session, boys and girls learn the fundamental skills of the game with the help of grade players week in, week out. The support of the grade teams each week has ensured enrolments remain high and participants are well prepared for the transition to MILO T20 Blast or to go straight into modiﬁed games. It is a great foundation for children to understand the basics and develop lifelong friendships.

There were many proud moments including regular visits from 1st Class players including Will Somerville, Nic Maddinson, Peter Nevill and Harry Conway to name a few. To have the involvement and support of these players is paramount to encouraging the children to aspire to become the next generation of Representative cricketers.

The engagement of parents also plays a key role and it is important that we remain a community of practice involving all key stakeholders in all aspects of the Club including the grassroots level, providing a solid foundation and future pipeline of players to support the long term growth and sustainability of Easts CC.

Thank you to the age coordinators for your enthusiasm, support and professionalism. I received great feedback from both the children and parents.

Outside of the usual Saturday morning in2CRICKET sessions are opportunities for children to be part of Day 4 of the Sydney Test Match by participating in on ground entertainment. The activities replicated what they had been practicing on a weekly basis. Thank you to Melinda Clarke who coordinated a group of 16 excited young children. I was told they tossed and turned the night before because they were so excited. One child may have even slept in his cricket gear!

His conversation turned to Redfern at any time. Introductions are made, unnecessary though they be. He enjoyed taking you to restaurants and cafes there. He showed me “Sir Nicholas,” we say. the homes where he lived and told stories of the neighbourhood. “Call me Nick, please.” Childhood is explanation for most of us.

He has gone to his grave with his boast intact - The state Labor government had secured local Labor control of the “I was never a member of the Liberal Party”. city by extending boundaries of the city into suburbs like Redfern and Glebe.

Civic Reform formed PERFECT MAN FOR PUBLIC OFFICE the ofcial opposition on the floor of council.

A government scored prestige for itself by having him remained inside. Civic Reform swept to power. Nick had his turn as on board. His knighthood, awarded in 1976, was an unstated bonus.

LUNCHES AND DINNERS AT SCG In a heroic life, this was Nick’s finest hour. Nick swallowed his pride OCCASIONS FOR MAJESTY when a disastrous decision was made to support this private entity as the operator of the new stadium. His predictions about the tastes of The Trust Suite in the football stadium and the Trustees Reserve in the Sydney sporting public came true to the leter. He lived to see all the SCG were places of majesty during his time. Dress standards were that he predicted come true: the SCG stands tall in the imagination high, possibly determined by his memories of Buckingham Palace. of Sydney, revered as never before. That reverence is built on the Standards certainly were exacting. Coat and tie for gentlemen, suit blood lef on its sacred soil by athletes of the calibre of Nick. preferably, otherwise smart slacks. Whatever the temperature, a Sir Nicholas Shehadie AC lived a long life. He lived a good life. The coat could not be removed. Not ever, not for anything. His successor friends he made were friends for life. He had no false airs, not with enforced the standard however unreasonable. “The rules will not a knighthood and so many high honours, not afer all those Royals change while ever I am in charge and Sir Nicholas lives.” and bigshots he had met. Essentially unchanged, he was a kid from In those rooms he assembled so many remarkable people.

We who knew no his own family, soared to the heights and shed no one along the way. one who had kept company with the gods found ourselves in the Nick was the best of Sydney and Australia. company of Col Windon, Trevor Allan, Rex Mossop, the Thornets, a disproportion from the Wallabies side of 1947-58. Once a year he Rodney Cavalier gathered surgeons for each part of his anatomy, shoulders to feet. His urologist was Herb Coorey, personal friend, introduced as “my prick doctor”. Yes, Herb replied, I’m a micro-surgeon. Being outside the world of politics, being a bloke who counted McKell and Askin as friends, he was generally in awe of anyone who had ever been elected to a parliament. So Nick might mention in passing Don has asked me to call on him and Jessie when SBS meets in Adelaide. Seeing Sir Donald Bradman was a familiar part of his world, not a special occasion, yet the pending arrival of a jumped up no account backbencher made him very nervous. Being present at such lunches provided him a bank of stories to supplement the core of his own fabulous experiences. Nick was a good listener, he knew how to encourage a raconteur in flow. He reckoned the best days of Test cricket was when it rained so long as he could sit with Arthur Morris and the Bedser twins and hear their stories. (The interaction of these three was a listening experience without parallel.) Bluf pondering, afecting confusion, asking for explanation, these were techniques he brought to the negotiating table. The other party, in the presence of an older man, this living legend, treated his perplexity with politeness. Explanations followed that revealed more than they might have intended.

FINEST HOUR

Being chairman of the SCG Trust was not a life of cucumber sandwiches and lemonade. Having steered the SCG and football stadium through the threat of sale in 1988-89 – reﬂective of the outer lunacy of the early Greiner years - Nick had to face and defeat the existential threat posed by the staging of the Olympic Games. With that three-week festival came a permanent building funded courtesy

97 APPRECIATION

As stated in previous seasons and understood by anyone who has had an involvement in a large community organisation, volunteers are the lifeblood of a sporting club and without them clubs simply will not function. Some tasks are carried out at the coal face of the Club and recognition is given, while other tasks and duties carried out by the volunteers are generally thankless and can go unnoticed, so it’s important that they are recognised in some capacity.

The Club had a progressive year of the field as it developed new assets afer some progressive planning during the of season. In the first half of the season the Club saw two large assets come to life with the erection of the new sightscreens at Waverley Oval. This project was managed by David Smyth, who worked in collaboration with Council and was involved in the acquisition of State Grants to help fund the project. The sightscreens have added a new element to Waverley Oval, to further finish it as a quality cricket ground. Afer many years of discussion, the Club honour boards were sourced afer a rigorous period of compiling 123 years of statistics. These will sit within the confines of the walls of the Tank for future generations of cricketers to aspire towards. With these a list of ‘All Time Career’ Stats was also compiled with a revised edition of Up the Waves, the next historical project on the horizon.

This year Barry Clarence won the Club Person of the Year for his tireless work which he does at Waverley Oval on match days and the time he devotes to being net captain. Barry not only travels a reasonable distance to get to Waverley, but he also extends himself with his photography around the grounds and shows a sincere interest in the Club and all the teams’ success. Mat Coles took out this season’s Bob Wilson Perpetual Award, afer his extensive work at Waverley Oval, and was also a crucial cog with the sourcing and distribution of apparel to senior and junior members. Toby Clayton also deserves a mention for his eforts scoring in the lower Grades. Toby’s full use of the CricHQ sofware shows his outstanding level of dedication and gives the Club’s supporters a look at highlights on social media, like never seen before at the Club.

Of course, Tony Adams’ work as the First Grade manager can’t go without mention as Tony spent numerous hours helping our ﬂagship team with all their requirements and more, as was Geof de Mesquita’s work at Waverley. Without Geof’s work in the canteen and around Waverley we would simply not operate.

98 Marcus van Vugt deserves recognition for his role in Sixth Grade and must take some of the credit for their success. The inclusion of a team in the Metropolitan Cup has provided another rung in the Club’s pathway system and has allowed more young cricketers to transition from Juniors into Grade. It was only ever going to come to fruition with a senior head to manage selections including ﬁnding players in some rounds where less than half a team looked available.

The last two forms of recognition and appreciation go ﬁrstly to Liz Thorp who is standing down as a Juniors representative on the Management Commitee. Liz has worked tirelessly over the past three years on the Commitee, helping Marcus coordinate the junior workings of the Club, while also having a massive input into acquiring sponsorship. Liz’s eforts were in addition to her role as a mother of four and working full time. This season, Liz also took the reins to organise the Sporting Legends Lunch at the SCG which included an impressive panel and helped orchestrate the raising of funds for the Club and the Kids for Cancer Project.

The last and most significant form of recognition goes to Club Secretary Adrian Tham, who afer four seasons in the role is standing down. In a time where life demands are higher, which coincides with the requirement to run a cricket club of our size with a higher level of professionalism and accountability, the role and efcient workings of the Secretary in the 21st Century is key to a club’s success of the field. Adrian is a tireless worker, who also has been scoring for Second Grade since 2007 and is highly regarded within SCA circles as being one of the most thorough Secretaries in NSW Premier Cricket. Adrian has been thorough in every capacity from viewing, replying or delegating video footage of aspiring cricketers from a village in the Western Ghats of India to ensuring registrations are complete, and keeping his fingers on the pulse of happenings within the SCA and NSW Cricket. The role of Secretary is never really truly understood until one has done the role and understands its potential to own you, making you reactive in many ways to ensure the cogs of the Club keep turning. Thank you for your service in this role Adrian, it is appreciated by all Dolphins.
