The 2000 / 01 season was one of disruption and ongoing change for the Association. The Board welcomed several new members, being D. Choy, W, Marshall and S. Millar.
The disruptions included the Olympics, which forced a late start to the season and an abnormal number of one-day games as a consequence in order to complete the season by the start of April. It was the first season under a GST and the unknown increase in our costs. We were forced as a result to impose a $5 registration fee per player to cover the expected increase in costs. We were still away from our Moore Park grounds near Sydney High School and we hope to get back there now that the Eastern Distributor is complete.
It was a great disappointment to the Board that we had to withdraw from the Martin Shield inter-association competition. The representative season was in part replaced by a new venue against the Sydney Morning CA vying for the AT Ray Friendship trophy. This competition is open for lower grade players and it was enthusiastically received.
There was a total of 54 teams. We welcomed new teams and some have embraced our Association positively. Unfortunately, some did not fulfil their financial responsibilities. Overall, the playing strength of the Association lies in the lower grades. We face problems that are common right across all Associations, in that we have a lack of suitably qualified teams in our premier grade. The Board is seriously looking at this matter and alternatives to resolve the problem. It is expected that team numbers will be at similar levels next season. It is a fact that our strongest support comes from our lowest grades and we hope that this situation can be rectified next season.
We had several problems through the year in relation to grading of sides, with a need to re-grade some teams after the start of the season. This caused some problems, but overall we believe that our decisions were ultimately correct as evidenced by the closeness of the teams in each grade. Most grades were even contests and there will be further fine tuning next season.
We move into next season with new challenges, such as a higher degree of computerisation, electronic banking, internet communication, a larger and more competitive first grade and further fine tuning of the judiciary process.
I wish to take this opportunity to especially thank my Assistant Secretary, John Chalmers for his undying love of the game and commitment to the Association. I also acknowledge the work preformed by other members of the Board and their assistance given to me during the season. JOHN WALDEN SECRETARY
PRESIDENT'S REPORT
Ladies and Gentleman,
The year 2000 was the Olympic Year in the city of Sydney and the excitement of the Olympic sports certainly was passed on to our sport, cricket in the form of additional teams for the season 2000 / 01.
The season started with an additional six teams, which allowed us to have seven grades - up one grade on last year. I would like to welcome all new clubs and on behalf of the Board we sincerely wish the new clubs a happy and long association with the Moore Park South East Cricket Association.
The start of the season was delayed due to the Olympics, however with careful planning in the allocation of grounds and negotiation of wickets we were able to have a competition of fourteen rounds. I pay tribute to our Assistant Secretary, John Chalmers who spent many hours organising grounds in order to have a fourteen round competition despite the disruption of the Olympics. Well done John.
Competition in all grades was as usual extremely competitive and in the majority of grades spots for the semi-finals were not finalised until the last round. There was in fact only one grade where a single club won both Premiership and Minor Premiership, that being sixth grade, with the club being one of our new clubs - Yarra Bay, congratulations Peter Cooley and the boys from Yarra Bay. My congratulations are extended to all the Minor Premiers and Premiership winners in all other grades. I would also, on behalf of the Board, like to congratulate all individual trophy winners. There were some outstanding results, which are detailed in the statistics area of this report.
The Association this year took a different direction in terms of representative cricket. After trying to gain sufficient support to field a Martin Shield side it was decided to abandon this competition due to lack of support from the higher grades. Instead the Association played a match against the Sydney Morning Competition. Players were restricted to lower grades in both Associations with the Associations competing for the inaugural A T (Tom) Ray Friendship Trophy. Our Association were victorious on the day. My thanks to all team members particularly Andrew Jones our captain and special thanks to Steve Millar who took on the role of Manager. The Association has already negotiated for season 2001-2002 and we will defend the A T Ray trophy against the Sydney Morning Competition. Of course the season would not happen without the assistance of various statutory bodies. My thanks to the all Municipal Councils, Centennial Park and Moore Park Trust for the maintenance and upgrade of the various grounds. Thanks also to Peter Daffen and the South Sydney Cricket Association for the use of turf wickets throughout the season. I am sure those who used the turf appreciated the opportunity to play on these grounds, particularly Alan Davidson Oval.
A vote of thanks to Lenny Roth and his Judiciary panels, although there were not many hearings their job is not an easy one. However, by having an independent Judiciary the Board believes a fair and impartial procedure can take place in the event of any judicial matters.
My sincere thanks to our Board of Management. The Board meets at least twice a month and spends many hours ensuring the competition runs as smoothly as possible. This being the International Year of the Volunteer I believe we have the most dedicated volunteers of any organization - your Board of Management, my thanks to you all - a job well done.
Special thanks to Secretary John Walden, Assistant Secretary John Chalmers and Records Officer Maree Fulford who do a tremendous job each year. Also to Ben Grant who this year took on the job of Treasurer and has done an outstanding job.
Well where do we go in 2001 / 02? Your current Board is looking at the future, including the use of computer technology to make us a more professional Association.
The Board is looking at the use of the three extra wickets that will become available in the high school area of Moore Park. Upgrades are planned at Booralee as well as the continued use of the Tempe area. We need to keep in mind that we do intend to provide better wickets each season, however the only way this can be achieved is with a healthy bank account.
I believe we also need to look at the first grade competition and the Board will be meeting in the off-season with other Associations with a view of forming a stronger first grade with additional teams from other Associations.
Overall an extremely good year for the Association both on and off the field and I look forward to season 2001 / 02. See you on the park.
PAUL BRIEN PRESIDENT GENERAL REPORTS
FIRST TO SEVENTH GRADE FIRST GRADE REPORT
Souths Juniors Souths Juniors had another very successful season by winning the first grade premiership, be it by a very narrow margin in a tight match, for the sixth successive season. Unfortunately they were unable to obtain the double this season as the minor premiership was decided on the for and against formula. The run scoring for the side was led by Adam Crawley with 435 runs at 33.46, Stan Stamatellis with 364 runs at 36.40, Jason Coleman with 260 runs at 23.64 and Eli Kapodistrias with 215 runs at 21.50. The wicket taking was once again shared by 12 players, the best being Eli Kapodistrias with 24 wickets at 14.08, Anthony Sinclair with 19 wickets at 20.16, P.Lazaropoulos with 16 wickets at 20.56 and Glen Standing with 12 wickets at 16.08. The Player’s player with 14 points was Stan Stamatellis.
Waverley Wombats Waverley Wombats had a very successful season in first grade after their promotion from second grade last season. Waverley sat atop the table for many rounds during the season and finally took out the minor premiership on the for and against formula. Unfortunately, they stumbled at the final hurdle against Souths and lost in a close Grand Final. Their performance with the bat was a very even one with D.Grange scoring 287 runs at 23.92, Neil McNamara with 276 runs at 30.67, Seb Beier with 231 runs at 33.00 and Richard Morris with 215 runs at 26.88. The strong bowling attack was led by Kieran Hickey who took out the Association’s bowling average award by taking 25 wickets at 12.40, Richard Morris with 18 wickets at 17.70, Seb Beier with 17 wickets at 9.76 and G.Morris with 16 wickets at 10.60. Seb Beier who topped the count with 14 points took out the Player’s player for his team.
Edmund/Ferns Edmund/Ferns had another successful season falling short in the semi finals. Leading the way for the side this year in the batting department was Glen Bosco who compiled 494 runs for the season at 61.75. This provided him with both the Association's batting aggregate and the batting average awards. He was well assisted by D.Byrnes with 250 runs at 20.83, Greg Scott 234 runs at 23.40 and Rob Coulson with 216 runs at 27.00. The bowling was led once again by Dave Orchard with 24 wickets at 15.30 and he was backed up by Greg Scott with 20 wickets at 12.90 and D.Byrnes with 16 wickets at 17.90. The Player’s player was won by D.Byrnes with 14 points. Marrickville Pagewood/Brondesbury Marrickville Pagewood/Brondesbury started the season as a newly merged side and settled down quickly with good success. The side had some good wins during the year and was in the four all season, but unfortunately were unable to win their semi final against Waverley Wombats. Once again their batting was led by Shane Jessop who amassed 347 runs at 28.92, D.North with 276 runs at 23.00 and B.Parker with 263 runs at 43.83. The wicket taking was shared between 13 players with John Sapounakis leading the way with 24 wickets at 24.30, C.Parker 15 wickets at 22.50, M.Townsend 13 wickets at 11.60 and Glyn Davis 11 wickets at 16.80. Their batsman Shane Jessop who got 11 points won the Player’s player.
Captain Cook (formally The Coast) Captain Cook struggled during the season with inconsistent results preventing them from making the top four. Their strong bowling attack, which was led by Jason Tattershall and Steve Burgess, provided a good platform for the side. Jason Tattershall led the way with the ball by taking 37 wickets at 14.90 which also won him the Association’s bowling aggregate award and he was backed up by Steve Burgess with 31 wickets at 19.80, Adrian Russell with 22 wickets at 21.00 and Heath Delamotte with 7 wickets at 23.60. The batsmen were led by Adrian Russell who scored 344 runs at 49.14, Chris Delamotte with 235 runs at 26.11, Glen McCanna with 209 runs at 41.80 and Cameron Hickson with 196 at 16.33. The Player’s player was won by Adrian Russell with 16 points.
Mascot RSL Mascot RSL struggled throughout the whole season and failed to make an impression on the rest of the competition. It was difficult for the side as at times they struggled to field 11 players. Their batting was lead by Jamie Shanahan who scored 149 runs at 21.29, D.Lenartic with 140 runs at 23.33 and Gary Hodder with 138 runs at 17.25. The leading bowler for the side was D.Cook who took 20 wickets at 16.80 followed by Gary Hodder with 17 wickets at 21.20, Rodney Staughton with 9 wickets at 16.70 and S.Pearce with 8 wickets at 23.90. The Player’s player was shared by D.Cook and Gary Hodder with 19 points each.
WAYNE MARSHALL SECOND GRADE REPORT
Clovelly Clovelly proved too strong for their rivals in the second grade competition with a solid all round performance to take out the premiership trophy by winning two very tough and hard fought finals matches. The team was well led by captain Jason Archer who starred with the bat to take out the Association’s Batting Aggregate Award with 344 runs at 31.27. He was well supported by R. Delvecchio 320 at 35.56 and E. Yates 254 at 23.09. Clovelly’s wickets were shared between eight bowlers the best being A. Faulkner 33 wkts at 12.2 and G. Schofield 19 at 13.8. Jason Archer also scored well with Player's player points with 14.
Botany United Botany United showed vast improvement from the previous season by scraping into the semi-finals in fourth position, then beating the minor premiers in the semi-final and then falling by only 15 runs to win the final against Clovelly. Botany’s batting was inconsistent, but veteran Jeff Riddoch led the way with 288 at 32 and was supported by David Choy 213 at 21.3, Greg Power 119 at 39.67 and George Nomikos 194 at 21.56. The leading wicket takers for Botany were David Betell 17 at 16.3 and Anthony Grimshaw 15 at 16.6. Jeff Riddoch scored the most Player's player points with 13.
Wolves An end of season form slump contributed to the Wolves losing to Botany in the semi-final, after leading the way for most of the season and finishing as minor premiers. Wolves strength was undoubtedly their bowling depth with Chris Townsend taking out the Association’s Bowling Aggregate Award with 45 wickets at 10.8 and Brett Gibson taking out the Association’s Bowling Average Award with 34 wickets at 10.7. Wolves other leading bowler was G. Morfoot with 42 wkts at 16.6. These three players also scored heavily with the bat with Chris Townsend 292 at 29.2, Brett Gibson 319 at 29 and G. Morfoot 217 at 21.7. Chris Townsend also polled well with 24 Player's player points.
Coogee Bay Rebels Coogee Bay Rebels were another team to have a much improved season finishing third on the competition table before going down to Clovelly in the semi-final. Coogee’s main performers with the bat were T. Beard 301 at 27.36, N. Jeffery 254 at 36.29, C. Kellar 238 at 29.75, and M. Ryan 267 at 33.38. Their leading wicket takers were C. Doppler 27 wkts at 17.4, M. Say 26 at 17.5, and J. Simmons 21 at 14. C. Doppler led the Player's player tally for Coogee with 13 points. Captain Cook Hotel Captain Cook Hotel finished one point out of the final four in a very closely contested grade. Captain Cook turned in many fine performances, but seemed to struggle with keeping a regular team on the field with no less than 37 players donning the whites. Brad Parkes was their star batsman scoring 318 runs at 39.75 (including two centuries) and also taking out the Association’s Batting Average Award for second grade. S. Prasad also scored well with 283 at 23.58. In the bowling department T. Scullard took 31 wkts at 14.4 and once again Brad Parkes starred with 22 wkts at 18.5. T. Scullard tallied 18 Player's player points to be Captain Cook’s leading performer.
Randwick CYM Randwick CYM was another team to just miss out on the finals and were in contention right up to and including the final round of competition. F. Sanchez was their best with the bat scoring 201 runs at 18.27 while their leading wicket takers were A. Cuthbert with 14 wkts at 22.8 and D. Geisher 14 at 6.36. A. Cuthbert polled the most Player's player points for CYM with 16.
Souths Juniors Souths Juniors finished second last on the points table after being promoted from third grade after round 4 and only carrying half their points up with them. This clearly affected their chances of qualifying for the semi-finals. (The figures following represent games played in third grade as well as second grade.) Souths had many fine performers with the bat, the best being J. Hourn 371 at 30.92, Jason Puddick 292 at 48.67, P. Dos Santos 273 at 30.33, and W. Mitchell 268 at 29.78. Their leading bowlers were R. Berger 19 at 18.4 and M. Chilcott 18 at 18.2. K. Wylie scored the most Player's player points with 10.
University of NSW University of NSW finished in last place in second grade, but could beat anyone on their day in what was the most closely contested grade in the Association. Major run scorers for Uni were T. Davis 247 at 22.45 and J. Haynes 213 at 30.43. Uni’s main strike bowler was big Todd Payne who took 27 wickets at 13.4. Todd Payne also tallied the most Player's player points for Uni with 12.
DAVE POWER THIRD GRADE REPORT
Randwick CYM 2 Randwick had a slow start to the season but came home strongly when it mattered to take out the Third Grade Premiership. After a tough struggle to make the semi finals in third position, Randwick defeated The Bears in a very tight semi final clash. Randwick backed up this victory against with a fantastic win against the minor premiers, Somerset Hotel.
Randwick best performer was H Turner who scored 497 runs at 35.5 and took 37 wickets at 14.3. S Stabb provided solid support with 297 runs at 42.43 and 22 wickets at 14.3. J Affleck had a fine season with 167 runs at 20.88 and 19 wickets at 15.9. Randwick’s reliable keeper, N Brown took 13 dismissals and scored 247 runs at 20.58. H Turner polled the most Player's player votes with 29.
Somerset Hotel Somerset Hotel were arguably the best team in third grade all season. They comfortably claimed the minor premiership and defeated the Waverley Wombats in the semi final. Unfortunately the Somerset Hotel were not at their best when they were surprisingly defeated by Randwick CYM in the final. Despite the loss, I Hayward captured the MPSECA Player's player award polling the most number of votes in the seven grades with 31.
I Hayward who was the cornerstone of Somerset Hotel’s success this season, scored 663 runs at 51 and took 58 wickets at 10. D Hamilton added valuable support 633 runs at 45.21, captured 22 wickets at 19.1 and took 10 catches. The bowling attack was ably assisted by M Millott took 28 wickets at 14.1.
The Bears 1 The Bears 1 backed up last year’s fourth grade premiership with another fine season finishing second during the regular season. Unfortunately, The Bears were unable to take this form into the semi finals and were defeated by Randwick CYM in a tight semi final tussle. The Bears were lead by third grade’s leading batsman, G Doyle who scored 811 runs at 101.38 and also took 12 wickets at 25.8. R Doyle was the Bears leading bowling picking up 43 wickets at 10.8 and also scored 382 runs at 31.83.
Other significant contributors to the Bears' season were R Grey who picked up 28 wickets at 17.3, S Warner who scored 176 runs at 22 and 13 wickets at 23.7, C Doyle who scored 320 runs at 20 and 6 wickets at 45.5 and showing his versatility J Grimaldi 217 runs at 19.73, 9 wickets at 14.4 and 15 dismissals behind the stumps. R Doyle led the Bears in Player's player votes with 18. Waverley Wombats 2 The Waverley Wombats had a solid season by qualifying for the semi finals in fourth position. Unfortunately, they were defeated in the semi finals by the Somerset Hotel. Waverley’s leading run scorer was W Achu with 262 runs at 37.43 and S Angell led the bowling attack with 32 wickets at 11.5.
S Kokkinellis captured 27 wickets at 12.2 and polled the most Player's player votes for Waverley with 16.
Roy United Roy United is a new club to join our association. After a tough initiation in first grade, they managed to be competitive after a mid season move to third grade. Roy United found the season far more enjoyable during their stint in third grade and were unlucky to miss the semi finals by one point.
Roy United was admirably lead by P Crawford who scored 377 runs at 31.42. Roy United’s leading bowler was D Newson who took 34 wickets at 15.7. He was supported by I Sell who took 25 wickets at 13.8 and chipped in with 136 runs at 17.
J Hennessey who scored 201 runs at 16.75 and took 13 wickets at 27.2, polled 15 Player's player votes.
Croydon Park United Croydon Park United who were third grade minor premiers last year had a slightly disappointing season after just failing to make the semi finals. The team's outstanding performer was T Leiriao who polled 23 Player's player votes, took 37 wickets at 11.7 and scored 357 runs at 27.46.
Marrickville / Pagewood / Brondesbury 2 MPB 2 had a tough season after the sudden amalgamation of these two clubs. Despite this MPB had some solid contributions from G Speis who scored 166 runs at 20.75 and took 22 wickets at 16.7. E Hasapis scored 248 runs at 24.56 and K Berganin took 16 wickets at 18.9. G Speis polled 19 Player's player votes to lead MPB 2.
Mar Thoma Mar Thoma who were a new addition to the association, struggled to field a team during the latter half of the season. Problems associated with the organisation of the club led to their poor performance.
DAVID CHOY FOURTH GRADE REPORT
This was one of the most even grades in the Association. Apart from some teams losing competition points the table was very even and the team that came last in the grade still provided the grade's batting aggregate and average winner.
Doncaster Doncaster was fourth on the table at the end of the rounds. It ultimately was their depth that won them the Premiership by defeating both the minor premiers and the runners-up.
The main performers with the bat were P. Williams with 356 runs at 50.86, J. Hussey with 322 runs at 32.2 and C. Mawson with 310 runs at 51.67. There were also six other players with runs around the 150 mark. The main two bowlers were D. Russell with 35 wickets at 13.6 and P. Carroll with 28 wickets at 10.68. The Player's player was M. Wraight with 9 points.
Randwick C.Y.M. 3 This Randwick side came into the grade as premiers from 5th grade the previous season. It was like Doncaster, a team with considerable depth with the honours being evenly shared amongst many players.
The leading batsman was Y. Chami with 459 runs at 32.79. He was ably supported by three other players who scored in excess of 200 runs, being A. Jericevic (262), D. West (260) and M. Ross (205). The outstanding bowler for the side was leg spinner J. Bland with 41 wickets at 10.5. The Player's player was J. Bland with 13 points.
Men Of The Bat The Men of the Bat were minor premiers and front runners for most of the season. They fought out a hard semi-final but lost to eventual premiers Doncaster.
Their two main bowlers, being P. Lyneham with 46 wickets at 14.98 and J. Motum with 44 wickets at 13.77 shared the bowling honours. There were four batsmen who scored more than 250 runs in the season. These were Sunil Savarajah with 368 at 30.67, E. Bray with 277 at 19.79, G. Stuart with 259 at 25.9 and J. Motum with 259 at 23.26. The Player's player award for the team was shared between P. Lyneham and Sunil Savarajah with 16 points each.
Mascot R.S.L. 2 Mascot proved to be a very strong all-round side that comfortably made semi-finals. It was very competitive in defeating all of the other top four sides during the course of the season.
J.Rouzios led the batting with 402 runs at 33.5. He was supported by N. Missenden with 310 runs at 28.18, A. Pappas with 239 runs at 26.56 and G. Bassett with 234 runs at 21.27. The bowling was led by R. Bilkey with 25 wickets at 16.68 and D. Lettice with 21 wickets at 21.43. The Player's player was N. Missenden with 16 points.
Captain Cook Hotel 3 This team used a total of 24 different players during the season and its results were erratic, in that they were capable of and did defeat most of the teams in the top four during the season, but lost to teams lower on the table.
The stand out batsman was D. Phillips with 401 runs at an average of 33.42 with able support from D. Luland (337 runs at 33.7) , T. Gorman (273 runs at 27.3) and J. Rasonja (225 runs at 17.31). The bowling was led by J. Steel with 26 wickets at 17.77 with support from D. McDiarmid with 21 wickets at 17.29 and D. Phillips with 19 wickets at 22.47. The Player's player award for the team was shared by D. Phillips and D. Luland with 16 points each.
Randwick C.Y.M. 4 This Randwick side unfortunately did not have the depth it needed to compete throughout the full season, although it was enthusiastic and did cause the occasional upset.
There were only two players who scored in excess of 200 runs. These were R. Cassamento with 313 runs at 23.08 and M. Bellantonio with 211 runs at 23.44. The bowling was carried by just two players. These were M. Bellantonio with 27 wickets at 22.6 and P. O'Connor with 22 wickets at 14.7. The Player's player award for the team was won by M. Bellantonio with 13 points.
Edmund / Ferns 2 This team used a total of 31 different players during the season and whilst they did not win too many games they certainly enjoyed themselves.
The standout batsman was M. Manna with a total of 566 runs at 62.89. He won the Association's both batting average and aggregate awards. This was an outstanding effort considering he was in the team that ran last and only one other player in the team scored more than 200 runs in the season. The two top wicket takers were M. Manna with 13 wickets at 29 and R. Frost with 13 wickets at 32.2.
Tromtanae Unfortunately, it is not possible to provide statistical commentary on their performance for the season as the team rarely lodged result sheets. The side lost several points for failing to lodge results and playing unregistered players.
JOHN WALDEN FIFTH GRADE REPORT
The Fifth Grade competition proved to be very interesting with a new team from Randwick C.Y.M. and new clubs South Maroubra Magic and Archers making most of the running, while Waverley Wombats went about their business with the quite confidence of a side that’s done it all before.
South Maroubra Magic New to the association this season, South Maroubra Magic started the season like world beaters, tapered off mid way through but finished in fine style, taking out the Premiership from fourth spot. They defeated both the Minor Premiers and runners up in the process. A fine all round team they were best served by Captain J. Baird with 287 runs and 22 wickets. While M. Lucas starred with the bat scoring 294 runs. The bowling honours were shared by D. Anderson 36 wickets which does not include his 8-40 in the final and M. McCrea 31 wickets, which does not include his 8-39 in the semi-final, while J. Allen 173 runs and 12 wickets provided them with able support.
Waverley Wombats A consistent side that always seems to be there at the business end of the season, they were defeated by South Maroubra Magic in the final. A strong batting side with four of their players scoring over two hundred runs. Another side who's captain lead from the front, D. Brekan scored 330 runs and featured in 21 dismissals as wicket keeper. He was ably supported with the bat by D. Jarman 290 runs, B. Truek 261 runs and P. Maniaty 210 runs. Their bowling attack was lead by I. Khan taking 45 wickets at 11.07, which won both the Association's bowling average and aggregate, and does not include his 6-25 in the final. He was ably supported by S. Ghauri 22 wickets and P. Robinson, R. Franich and B. Sheikh with 11 wickets each.
Randwick C.Y.M. Minor Premiers and tipped by most to take out the Premiership, they found eventual winners South Maroubra Magic a little to good in the semi-final. A team full of talented players, they were best served by R. Sargent 412 runs and 15 wickets and S. McKay 35 wickets, which does not include his 6-43 in the semi-final and 209 runs. While A. Belger 443 runs at 63.3, the best average in fifth grade and J. Cobcroft 286 runs both had fine seasons with the bat, while M. Wardlaw put in a fine cameo scoring 197 runs and taking 9 wickets from just 3 matches.
Archers Another new club to fifth grade, Archers performed consistently throughout the season to finish in third spot, but found second placed Waverley Wombats too strong in the semi- final. A good all round side they were best served by D. Park who scored 350 runs and took 22 wickets. Others to perform well were T. Kassis 353 runs and R. David 226 runs, while J. James 30 wickets and P. Loreggia 25 wickets shared the bowling honours. Kingsford Apaches Consistent throughout the season and piped for fourth spot by South Maroubra Magic. They were best served by A. Jones who scored 587 runs, which won him the Association's fifth grade batting aggregate and took 16 wickets. Others to perform well were A. Yap 228 runs, C. Thorpe 175 runs and 12 wickets and C. Koutsis 134 runs and 17 wickets.
Glebe Gypsies Had a disappointing 2000/01 season with a cavalcade of players throughout the year. They failed to find the consistent form required to win cricket matches. N. Cohen 15 wickets, S. Isaacs and E. Chung 12 wickets and T. Masters 11 wickets shared the bowling honours, while D. Archer 121 runs, C. Hamilton 105 runs and J. Robin 102 runs showed some form with the bat.
Souths Juniors Another side who had a disappointing season, with 5 players scoring over 200 runs and 3 taking more than 20 wickets. They should have finished higher on the ladder than they did, but failure to put 11 players on the park every match cost them dearly. A. Stewart had a fine season scoring 442 runs and taking 26 wickets. He was well supported by A. Richards 202 runs, M. O'Shea 203 runs 21 wickets, A. Barwick and G. Stewart with 212 runs each and W. Stewart 23 wickets.
Rusty Shovels Minor Premiers and finalist last season the Rusty Shovels were another side who had a disappointing season. Capable of giving any side in the competition trouble they suffered badly by not fielding 11 players each week. They were best served by D. McDonald who scored 323 runs and took 17 wickets. Others to perform well were N. Cola 250 runs and took 30 wickets while M. Stott 269 runs and S. Reid 26 wickets also had fine seasons.
The 2000/01 season proved to be an interesting one with the honours favouring the bowlers with 6 or more wickets being taken 11 times, 2 of these in the semi-final and 2 in the final, while there were only 6 centuries scored.
I would like to thank all players who participated in the fifth grade competition for making it a most enjoyable season.
GARY FULFORD SIXTH GRADE REPORT
The Sixth Grade competition proved an entertaining one with the ball having a clear dominance over the bat, with 6 or more wickets being taken 22 times, while triple figures were scored only 3 times.
Yarra Bay A new side to sixth grade, they proved dominant all season taking out the Minor Premiership and Premiership. A strong all round side, their bowlers dominated other sides making the task for their batsmen relatively easy. Led from the front by P. Cooley who took 57 wickets at 5.19, which won him the Association's sixth grade bowling aggregate and average and scored 182 runs. He was ably supported with the ball by B. Bowen 32 wickets at 8.8, while D. Ingrey 25 wickets at 10.24 and 210 runs and C. Sait 390 runs and 16 wickets had fine all round seasons. B. Fairbairn 335 runs, A. Melia 210 runs, C. Cooke 218 runs and B. Taaffe proved the all round strength of this team.
Bondi Beaten in the semi-final last year, Bondi went one better this year but found Yarra Bay too strong in the final. Best served by S. Gilding 527 runs at 31, which won him the sixth grade batting aggregate, he was ably supported with the bat by P. Hudak 228. While all rounder K. Tanner 386 runs and 22 wickets, and bowlers J. Oon 41 wickets and G. Caredes 32 wickets all had fine seasons.
Souths Juniors Finalist last year Souths proved a most consistent side again this season, but found Bondi too strong in the semi-final. A good all round side they were best served by D. Cullen 46 wickets at 10.8 and R. Hasler 26 wickets and 181 runs. While B. Hasler 215 and S. Simpson 162 runs provided solid support. G. McKay 144 runs and 10 wickets from 4 matches showed that Souths will again be a side to reckon with next year.
Captain Cook Hotel A consistent side all year found Yarra Bay too strong in the semi-final. Best served by all rounders A. Lee 30 wickets and 182 runs, J. Beasley 20 wickets and 179 runs and P. Anspal 19 wickets and 220 runs while G. Blacker starred with the bat scoring 319 runs.
Clovelly Crocodiles A new side to sixth grade they took some time to find their feet, but by the end of the season they were a very competitive side. Best served by all rounders B. Saracoglu 270 runs and 23 wickets, S. Tweedie 149 runs and 36 wickets, S. Millar 131 runs and 39 wickets, while G. Parker 186 runs and W. Gudgen 138 gave able support. Alligators Another new side to the competition comprising school leavers from Sydney Grammar, they also took some time to adapt themselves to park cricket, but by the end of the season they proved they will be a force to contend with next year. Best served with the bat by P. Madhanagopal 353 runs, while all rounders P. Cliff 137 runs and 31 wickets, P. Manahar 210 runs and 17 wickets and M. Fairlie 155 runs and 22 wickets all had good seasons.
Randwick C.Y.M. Randwick struggled to put the same side on the park throughout the season and this led to some inconsistent performances. A side that on their day could beat anybody. They were best served by F. Madon 482 runs at 34.43, which won him the sixth grade batting average and 15 wickets. He was well supported by A. Bangaru 347 runs and 27 wickets, while S. McPhail 29 wickets and S. Barclay 22 and P. O'Sullivan 232 runs, all had good seasons.
City Wanderers Withdrew from the competition mid season.
GARY FULFORD SEVENTH GRADE REPORT
Doncaster A mixture of youth and experience, Doncaster proved to be the surprise packets of the finals series, accounting for second placed Randwick in the semi final and minor premiers Talbot Saints in the final. The leading batsman for Doncaster was S. Douglas who scored 367 runs at 37.6. He was well supported by all rounders P. Harriott 301 runs and 25 wickets, M. Lucas 171 runs and 16 wickets and G. Johnston 158 runs and 20 wickets, while S. Casey 18 wickets and L. Goodier 13 wickets provided the variety required to win a premiership.
Talbot Saints Minor Premiers Talbot Saints found Doncaster too strong in the final. A good all round side Talbot Saints had a very good year with both bat and ball. They were best served by E. Klien who scored 594 runs at 45.69, which won him the Association's seventh grade batting aggregate and 17 wickets. The strength of the side was with R. West 367 runs and 25 wickets, W. Hynes 318 runs and 20 wickets, while H. Hillman 343 runs, G. McGuire 200 runs plus a 121 runs in the semi-final, C. Cychowski 163 runs and 20 wickets and W. Edwards 123 runs and 17 wickets proved the all round strength of this side.
Randwick C.Y.M. Front runners for most of the season Randwick found eventual winners Doncaster a little too strong in the semi-final. They were best served by M. Lalor who scored 546 runs at 68.25 and took 28 wickets at 7.43, which won him the seventh grade batting and bowling averages and the Association's all-rounder trophy. He was ably supported by J. Talor 298 runs and 26 wickets, M. Fuller 182 runs and 22 wickets, T. Beattie 160 runs and 18 wickets and A. Hale 330 runs at 33.
Duke of Wellington A consistent side throughout the year their season came to an abrupt halt in the semi- finals. A solid team who sometimes were their own worst enemy they were best served by W. Anderson who scored 220 runs and took 44, which won him the seventh grade bowling aggregate. He was ably supported by A. Hookey Jnr. 173 runs, 25 wickets and B. Deguara 174 runs and 12 wickets. Batsman J. Harris 237 runs and wicket keeper A. Deguara 22 dismissals also had fine seasons.
G.C.B. A solid batting side they sometimes struggled to dismiss their opponents. They were best served with the bat by G. Brown 474 runs at 47.5, C. Rao 462 runs at 46.2, T. Robertson 384 runs at 32 and V. Rao 333 runs at 47.57, while J. Inia 22 wickets and K. Kenny 19 wickets shared the bowling owners.
The Bears A new team to the Association, they struggled with the bat and ball. They were best served by A. Cruttenden 234 runs and 22 wickets, while S. Ogilvy 174 runs and R. McNamara 129 runs and 17 wickets showed promise for the future. Waverley Wombats Waverley Wombats had a tough season and struggled to be competitive at times. They were best served by G. Eisner who scored 354 runs and took 36 wickets. He was well supported by C. Mills 164 runs and 21 wickets and L. Briffa 186 runs and 14 wickets.
Enigma Enigma also struggled throughout the season, but came up with a couple of wins. They certainly enjoyed their cricket and were elated when the odd victory came their way. D. King was their best player scoring 273 runs and taking 32 wickets. He was ably supported by M. Keoah 220 runs and 26 wickets and T. Simons 214 runs.

M.P.S.E.C.A v Sydney Morning Cricket Association (SMCA)
After the demise of our Martin Shield team due to the lack of interest from some players the Board decided to hold a game against the SMCA. After deliberation both Boards decided that the sides would be made up of lower grade players.
The A.T.Ray Friendship in honour of Tom Ray who was a life member of both Associations was put forward. The trophy was born, the committee met and picked what they believed to be the best players from the lower grades to be led by Andrew Jones (Capt.) and Jamie Motum (vc). Sunday came along and Alan Davidson Oval was awash with sunlight, a perfect day for cricket. After losing the toss our lads were sent in on what looked like a good first up batting track. Tabio Leiriao and Jamie Bland opened and took the score to 28 before Tabio (19) was out caught. Next in was Richard Sergeant and together they took the score to 75 before Richard (34) was out caught. Captain Andrew Jones (11) was next in, but was out before he could get started. After 35 overs the score read 3/116. Ashleigh Carter (34) was next in and over the next 12 overs together with Jamie Bland they put on a quick fire 66 run partnership before Ashleigh was bowled. With the push on for runs Jamie Bland was next to go for a steady 75, followed by John Baird (5). Jamie Motum and Darren Brekan both remained 8 not out and carried the score to a respectable 205 from 50 overs.
After lunch the SMCA started their chase. It was a steady chase, but they lost wickets at regular intervals with our bowlers getting on top. The SMCA were reduced to 4/80 from 24 overs. A bowling change introduced spinner Jamie Bland and John Baird. They reduced the opposition to 9/144 and after some resistance the last wicket finally fell at 163. MPSECA was victorious by 42 runs and lifted the inaugural A. T. Ray Trophy.
Scores
MPSECA - 6/205 (J. Bland 75; R. Sergeant 34; A. Carter 32; T. Leiriao 19; A. Jones 11).
SMCA - 163 (Vanderbergh 25; Fowler 24; J. Baird 3/18; A. Carter 2/29; J. Bland 2/27; P. Cooley 1/24; N. Cola 1/28; B. Saracoglu 1/24). I would like to thank all involved in the day, including Marie Fulford for scoring, Gary Fulford for umpiring, as well as John Chalmers, Ben Grant and Paul Brien for helping to organise the day and of course the MPSECA players:

2000 / 2001 TREASURER’S REPORT
I am pleased to present my Treasurer’s Report for the 2000/2001 season. The highlights of the year were:
• A surplus for the year; • Introduction by the Federal Government of the Goods and Services Tax; • Association accounts compiled using computer software; and • Introduction of a Player Registration Fee.
Surplus
The Association recorded a surplus of $4,925 for the year.
Receipts increased for the year by $12,886 due to the introduction of the Player Registration fee and the increase in registered teams from forty-eight to fifty-four. Expenses for the year were $12,276 more than last year due primarily to the additional wickets hired as a result of the increased number of registered teams.
GST
Payment of GST on suppliers' invoices accounted for an additional cost of $2,680 as the Association has not registered for GST and is therefore unable to claim back GST paid. The Association is not required to apply a GST charge when invoicing member teams.
Computerised Accounts
The financial records for the Association were compiled using the MYOB computer software. Reports were presented to the Board of Management in a standard printed format, as were invoices issued to member teams.
Player's Registration Fee
The Board of Management introduced a $5 Player Registration Fee in part to offset the then unknown impact of the introduction of the GST. It was also hoped the fee would assist with the offsetting of the additional costs of recording the registration of players.
Budget
A budget based on a fifty-four team competition was presented to the Board of Management before the commencement of the season. The budget forecast a surplus for the season of $1,575. During the season the Board of Management received reports detailing costs against budget. Budget 2000/2001 Actual Budget $ $ Receipts Registrations/Wickets Fees 41,955 42,618 Awards Night Function 6,485 6,600 Other Receipts 3,564 2,790 Total Receipts 52,004 52,008
Expenses Hire of Wickets 27,868 27,395 Prize Monies & Trophies 4,629 4,900 Umpire Fees 1,570 2,410 Insurances 3,321 4,278 Awards Night Function 5,732 5,800 Administration Expenses 2,898 3,150 Other Expenses 1,061 2,500 Total Expenses 47,079 50,433
Surplus/(Deficit) 4,925 1,575
The surplus is $3,354 more than the budgeted forecast. This is in part due to reduced costs against the following budgeted items:
• Saving on trophies purchased; • Reduced umpires' fees for Association finals and representative games; • Martin Shield expenses; and • Judiciary expenses.
Allowance for additional costs for the preparation of this season’s annual report, the independent audit of the Association's financial records and lodgement of statements to the Department of Fair Trade should be made in next season’s budget. These costs may total $1,350.
Receipts
Receipts for the year totalled $52,004.
The introduction of the Player Registration Fee raised an additional $5,945 for the 1,189 players registered for the season. The increase in registered teams from forty-eight to fifty-four resulted in an increase in Team Registration, Wicket and Insurance Fees of $6,073. Fines in general were up on the previous year. Fines have been recorded to delineate the differing types of fines levied. Similarly, the receipts for the Awards Night entry and raffle tickets have been separated.
South Sydney Junior RLFC Ltd maintained their donation to our Association of $500 for which the Association is most grateful for their continued support.
Expenses
Expenses for the season totalled $47,079.
Hire of Wickets and Fields
This season the association hired the additional fields of Mahony and Tempe from the Marrickville Council.
South Sydney District CA increased charges because of the introduction of the GST. Glebe CC was paid for ground hire for both the 1999/2000 and the current season.
Botany and Randwick councils and the Centennial Park and Moore Park Trust also increased charges because of the introduction of the GST.
Premier's Prize Money and Trophies
Prize money was paid as prescribed by Association Playing Rule 112. Prize money of $400 was paid to Doncaster CC as 7th Grade premiers.
The cost of trophies increased by $339 in part due to the GST component and in part due to additional trophies.
Umpires' Fees
Fees paid to umpires for the season were reduced by $860. This was due to the lack of availability of umpires for the Association grand finals.
Insurances
Team insurance costs increased by $539 for the season due to the increase in the number of registered teams for the season.
Association Function
The awards night returned a profit of $753, which included the sale of raffle tickets. The Association sold one hundred and ninety-four entry tickets with nine complimentary tickets being issued to official guests. The raffle raised $665 in ticket sales and netted $601 after deducting $64 as an expense for raffle prizes purchased by the Association.
This successful "profit" is due to the extremely generous donations of raffle prizes from Harry Solomans, Dennis Gillings and Greg Stewart. Administration Expenses
The saving of $233 over last year has resulted from the timing of costs for the preparation of the annual report and auditing of the Association's financial records.
Other Expenses
Payments of $625 were made to the Kingsford Legal Service for Judiciary services for last season. This season the cost was $225.
Balance Sheet
Monies that were surplus to short term requirements have been invested on short-term deposit with the Commonwealth Bank of Australia. The Association earned $1,210 interest this year from it's two term deposits.
Receivables were adjusted for the year-end to include write-offs for two unfinancial teams, Mar Thoma CC and Tramontanae CC.
The Glebe Gypsies CC overpaid their wicket fees for the season and therefore have a credit of $54 that can be applied to next season’s fees.
Acknowledgements
To all club Secretaries who managed their financial responsibilities in a timely manner and were able to settle Association invoices when they fell due.
To the Association Board of Management who have been of great support in my first year as Treasurer.
Conclusion
The Members Reserve is representative of the Association’s continuing stability and independence and will see it face the challenges ahead from a financially secure base.
Any result for the Association is dependent on the number of teams and the make-up of the competition. It is therefore difficult to forecast what result maybe anticipated for next year. However, with a similar number of teams and competition format we should see a similar result to that returned for the season just completed.
