37 6 PRESIDENT’S REPORT 2011-2012 VICTORIAN COUNTRY CRICKETERS’ PREMIERSHIP RECORD

The high light and low light of the 2011-12 season occurred in the first two weeks Season Group Winners Runners-Up of January 2012. We had the privilege of staging the Australian Country Cricket 1987/88 Provincial Warnambool Geelong Championships in Geelong and what a magnificent job the Geelong Organizing Division 2 Mornington Peninsula Traralgon Committee and their wonderful group of volunteers performed. They staged the Division 3 Albury & Border Kyabram Division 4 Horsham Yea-Ferntree Gully “Best Championships Ever” according to those, who have attended all Carnivals Division 5 Yarra Valley Geelong Southern since the inaugural Championship was held in Beenleigh ,Queensland in 1984- Division 6 Euroa Timboon Stoneyford 85.However, despite a tight competition, we finished last with only two wins, our Division 7 Seymour Yarrawonga worst performance since the Championships began. It was unacceptable for such a 1988/89 Provincial Warnambool Geelong cricket-proud State as ours. Division 2 Albury & Border Kyabram Division 3 Horsham Grampians A thorough review of everything we do involving selection and preparation for the Division 4 Murray Valley Swan Hill Division 5 Euroa Benalla Championships has taken place and we now look forward to the 2013 Championships Division 6 Yarrawonga Geelong & District to be staged in Bundaberg, Queensland, and our reputation being restored. I would Division 7 Geelong Churches Rutherglen like to acknowledge our management, leadership team and selectors for their efforts 1989/90 Provincial Albury & Border Bendigo leading up to and during the Championships. In particular I would like to thank Division 2 Mornington Peninsula Sale-Maffra Gerard Wood who filled in at a relatively short notice as masseur while Cheryl Division 3 Wangaratta Central Gippsland Connelly continues her battle with health issues.

A Ferntree Gully Geelong B South Gippsland Castlemaine The staging of another successful round of Premier Cricket in the country regions C Gisborne Albury & Border was not as easy this season, as the timing of these games in October, weather wise, 1980/81 Provincial Benalla Ballarat was an obstacle in some areas and we look forward to these games moving back into A Central Gippsland South Gippsland B Albury & Border Murray Valley a January time slot next season, even allowing for the “Big Bash” commitments.

9 34 VICTORIAN COUNTRY CRICKETERS’ PREMIERSHIP RECORD SECRETARY’S ADDENDUM Season Group Winners Runners-Up Once again it is a writer’s nightmare to produce an addendum when most, if not all, topics 1955/56 Provincial North & South Peninsula Wangaratta are so well covered elsewhere within this annual report. A Mildura Bendigo B Murray Valley-Nathalia Lake Rowan-Yarrawonga Firstly I would like to extend my thanks to Platypus Sporting Goods Australia and the C South Gippsland-Alberton Maryborough Brown Family for their continued support of the VCCL and country cricket in general. 1956/57 Provincial Wangaratta Bendigo A number of our affiliates are associated with the Platypus Brand and they enjoy that (No play A Ballarat Central Gippsland relationship as does the VCCL. Our link with Platypus goes back decades and the support on last B Yarrawonga Castlemaine given to the League has been without question. Many in the cricket world will now be day) C Euroa Yea-Mansﬁeld-Alexandra aware of the new operation that will see the Platypus Brand marketed in Australia by the 1957/58 Provincial Geelong Central Gippsland sports giant Gray-Nicholls. A Euroa Dandenong-Berwick B South Gippsland-Alberton Yea-Mansﬁeld-Alexandra We have been successful in arranging the continued support of the Platypus Brand to the C Mininera Seymour League via Gray Nicholls and have established a NEW sponsorship with Gray Nicholls. 1958/59 Provincial Geelong Central Gippsland I look forward to continuing this most enduring “Platypus” relationship well into the future A North & South Peninsula South Gippsland-Alberton and the start of the new “Gray Nicholls” support of the League building to similar levels. B Horsham Rutherglen C Swan Hill Ferntree Gully Our National Championship team played in the 2012 ACCC, the event hosted by the 1959/60 Provincial Geelong Warnambool GCA for the VCCL in and around the city of Geelong. The eight team competition was A Mildura Euroa into season three but sadly we finished bottom of the table with only two wins, these B Maryborough Kerang-Cohuna against the eventual first and second placed sides. President Riches has addressed this C Traralgon-Boolarra Kowree elsewhere in the annual report. The 2013 competition will be held in Queensland with 1960/61 Provincial Ballarat Central Gippsland the hosting duties being awarded to the Bundaberg Cricket Association; this will be the A Echuca Shepparton second time the event has been held in that City as it was held there in 2003. B Colac-Stoneyford (18 pts, 1.511% Warragul (18 pts, 1.73%) C Mininera (18 pts, 1.511%) Rochester (18 pts, 1.509% Last season I noted that I hoped to travel around the State and have the opportunity to 1961/62 Provincial Geelong Wangaratta attend various Region meetings and catch up with many of the hard working local Region A Horsham Maryborough and Association officials. It is nice to report that to a small extent this has commenced B Dunmunkle Traralgon-Boolarra and I hope to add more visits. C Ferntree Gully Alexandra

1962/63 Provincial Maryborough Shepparton The ever-changing climate for the game of cricket continues, the number of people A Sale-Maffra Dunmunkle involved at all levels (loss of numbers), support for volunteers (lack of), technology B Kyabram Yarra Valley (rapid changes), funding (withdrawn or lessened), facilities (lost or cost increases), C Swan Hill Mininera encroachment into our territory (creeping footy seasons) and much more should have 1963/64 Provincial Geelong Horsham all country cricket aware. This applies to the players, to their Clubs and Associations A Warragul Ballarat as well as the VCCL, so we need to ensure that we are getting our voices heard and B Leongatha-Stony Creek Castlemaine our concerns and ideas given the opportunities they deserve. As these changes occur, C Hamilton Mountain District and others at the higher levels, they have varying effects on the grassroots game. One 1964/65 Provincial Warnambool Bendigo area is the loss of continuity with changing personnel as they either move up, across or A Bendigo Maryborough out depending on the situation which often then requires the rebuilding of links by the B Rochester Benalla volunteer, this can often cause a loss of time due to again having to do what has already C Wonthaggi-Westernport-Phillip Is. Upper Murray been done. Better communication between the professional and volunteer sections of 1965/66 Provincial Warnambool Bendigo cricket is a must and the improvement of the understanding as to how the volunteers A Cohuna-Kerang Euroa B Hampden Echuca operate will go a long way to keeping what we have and encouraging new ones.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF VCCL Team of the Year 2011-12 VICTORIAN COUNTRY CRICKET LEAGUE INC

Report on the Financial Report

I have audited the accompanying financial report, being a special purpose financial report of Victorian Country Cricket League Inc (the association), which comprises the balance sheet as at 31 May 2011, the income statement and summary of significant accounting policies and the statement by members of the committee. Tim Hunt Western Waves Committee’s Responsibility for the Financial Report The committee of the association is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial report and has determined that the accounting policies described in Note 1 to the financial statements, which form part of the financial report, are consistent with the financial reporting requirements of the Associations Incorporation Act (Victoria) and are Tom Hussey South East appropriate to meet the needs of the members. The committee’s responsibilities also include establishing and maintaining internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of the financial report that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error; selecting and applying appropriate accounting policies; and making accounting estimates that are reasonable in the circumstances. Luke Restall North East

Auditor’s Responsibility My responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial report based on my audit. No opinion is expressed as to whether the accounting policies used, as described in Note 1, are appropriate to meet the needs of the members. I conducted the audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. These Auditing Standards require that I comply Ben Grinter Western Waves with relevant ethical requirements relating to audit engagements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial report is free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial report. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material Rohan Larkin Northern Rivers misstatement of the financial report, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial report in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the committee, as well as evaluating the Robert Wilson South East overall presentation of the financial report.

The financial report has been prepared for distribution to members for the purpose of fulfilling the committee’s financial reporting under the Associations Incorporation Act (Victoria). I disclaim any assumption of responsibility for any reliance on this report or on the financial report to which it relates, to any person other than the members, or for any purpose Robbie Jackson North East other than that for which it was prepared.

I believe that the audit evidence I have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for my audit opinion. Shaun Campbell Barwon Independence In conducting the audit, I have complied with the independence requirements of Australian professional ethical pronouncements.

Qualification James Hughes Central Highlands It is not practical for Victorian Country Cricket League Inc to maintain an effective system of internal control over Grants and Sale of Clothing/Uniforms until their initial entry in the accounting records. Accordingly, my audit in relation to Grants and Sale of Clothing/Uniforms was limited to amounts recorded.

Qualified Audit Opinion Mathew Walder Sunraysia In my opinion, subject to the effects of such adjustments, if any, as might have determined to be necessary had the limitations discussed in the qualification paragraph not existed, the financial report of Victorian Country Cricket League Inc presents fairly in all material respects the financial position of Victorian Country Cricket League Inc as of 31 May 2011 and of its financial performance for the year then ended in accordance with the accounting policies described in Note 1 to the financial statements and the Associations Incorporation Act (Victoria).

Melbourne Country Week was again organised at the centre at Cricket Victoria headquarters in Jolimont, where the usual communication services were provided. Our gratitude is again extended to IT Manager, Rebecca Brown, and her staff members, Adrian and Matt. Also the daily collection and collation of scores, results, ladders and media releases for Country Week was managed through the national MyCricket on-line competition program with the assistance of Board members, Messrs Riches, Thompson, Williams, Parker and Cooper.

As well as the short-scores in all matches being entered from Jolimont, further progress was made towards shifting these functions to the competing teams, with more than half entering the full scores through their own websites. It is my earnest expectation that we will soon have all these recording functions carried out by every competing Association at the end of each day’s play. My reports tell me that this is already happening in the vast majority of Associations and Regions throughout the state in their domestic competitions, so why could it not happen at Country Week when there are only 14 or so games a day?

From match reports received, the standard of umpiring was all that should be expected, and we thank those gentlemen for their services. There were much fewer complaints from teams regarding the catering by host clubs for lunches and, with the few we did receive, they have been followed up with Cricket Victoria. J.Higgins, K.White (Manager) T.Bowman, The competition in Country Week in 2011-12 was again based on four Divisions with eight teams in the first two divisions, six in Division 3 and five in Division 4 following the withdrawal of Horsham and necessitating a bye. All of the expected promotions and relegations as per the League’s Rules were implemented and we gladly welcomed the return of Sunraysia.

Melbourne Country Week could not be conducted without the enthusiastic support of Cricket Victoria and the League is indebted to CEO, Tony Dodemaide, and his staff for their continual assiatance.The cooperation and assistance of CV Premier Cricket Co-ordinator, Peter Binns, is something that I am personally in debt and am sure Country Week could not function so smoothly without Peter’s efforts.

The same must be said for our colleagues in the Victorian Sub District Cricket Association, especially Secretary, Ken Hilton, and President, Jack Sheahan. Again the League is very grateful to the VSDCA for hosting the annual match and luncheon for Melbourne Country Week. Again, as for last season, it was hosted by the Caulfield CC at Caulfield Park and the VCCL extends our gratitude to all their Club members, who worked so diligently to provide an excellent meal to the 20 plus guests who attended.

It is disappointing and frustrating to me to have to report that the coverage by the State media of Melbourne Country Week 2012 was even sparser than last year, especially from the major newspapers. To the many country folk across the State, who either rang or emailed at the lack of The Western Waves - VCCL U nder 21 Champions, 2011-12 - VCCL Waves The Western coverage on most days, please be aware that the scores and ladders in all Divisions were sent to N.Butters. J.Stapleton, W.Chapples, Front Row: B.Grinter (captain), M.Brophy, the distribution agency, AAP, on time every day and it was the Age and Herald Sun who would not publish them. I’m at wits end in trying to get their support. Perhaps the weight of complaints from country communities prior to next year’s Country Week might have some influence. To those media outlets in regional and local areas, who did report the Carnival enthusiastically, the thanks of the League.

Finally, but certainly not last, the VCCL extends our gratitude to all the Premier League and Back Row: C.Williams, H.Schlaghecke, M.Bignell, D.Jones, J.Fish, S.Close, VSDCA Clubs who hosted matches during the week.

VICTORIAN COUNTRY CRICKET LEAGUE

Report on the Platypus Country Cricket Week 2012

Melbourne Country Cricket Week in 2012 was conducted in the week 13th – 17th February. Initially 28 teams were entered from 27 Association members with Mornington Peninsula being the only one with a team in two divisions. However, Horsham had to withdraw, which unfortunately left teams in Division 4 with a bye once again, although it was probably the strongest standard that this Division has witnessed for many years with Sunraysia returning to Country Week after missing 2011.

Once again the annual carnival of Victorian Country Cricket was successful with all scheduled games being played on the first three days, but unfortunately the weather intervened again on the Man of the Match in the Under 21 Final, Cam Williams, is presented with his trophy by Warren last two. The rain came late on Thursday afternoon, but still in time to force the abandonment of Riches. at least half the matches across all divisions. This had a vital influence on the make-up of the finals next day as quite a number of teams lost their chance to gain a Finals berth, when they were reasonably placed to win their Thursday matches. It demonstrates once again how important it is starting the Carnival well and get early victories.

The weather was generally fine for the Friday’s Finals, but the damage was done the previous night with steady rain throughout most of that period. The Provincial Division at the Albert was fortunately played in its entirety, but the Divisions 2 and 3 Finals had shortened games after late starts, but at least they achieved results. Sadly the Division 4 Final had to be abandoned altogether after the umpires ruled the Yarraville ground unplayable and no alternative venue could be arranged.

This year an experiment was tried for the first time with the venues for the Finals. Two grounds were named in the Official Program, one pair for Divisions 1 and 2 and two for the other two Divisions. The decision on where each Final would be played was made on the Thursday evening by the Country Week Sub-Committee, once the competing teams had been finalised. The aim was to best place the teams to allow potential spectators to more easily access the grounds and also to assist the teams in their return home on the Friday evening. It proved rather inconclusive because the weather interrupted the original schedule and before next year Associations will be consulted.

Cricket Victoria again provided the financial base from which Melbourne Country Week was conducted with payments to Premier League and Sub District Clubs for umpires, catering and ground preparation costs. Also in 2012 the League’s long-term sponsor, the Platypus Sporting Western Waves Captain, Ben Grinter, receives the Chanpionship plaque from VCCL President, Warren Riches. Goods Company, claimed the naming rights for the Carnival, along with their new partner Gray Nicholls. The League is indebted to the Brown family for their many years of support for Country Week and is hopeful their new partner, Gray Nicholls, will continue that sponsorship.
