14 PRESIDENT’S REPORT
In my first year as standalone President I have come to appreciate the work involved in striving to make our club the best place to be, not just on the field but also off field. I would like to take this opportunity to thank Michael Asbury for the past 5 years as President as well as thank all committee members for their support and encouragement.
Our season started with the appointment of Ryan Hartnett as senior coach and first grade captain which we all acknowledged was a huge commitment for Ryan to take on and he has shown the ability to handle the pressures placed upon him in fulfilling these dual roles, and I thank him for that. Ryan has agreed to continue as senior coach for the 2016/2017 season so that he can continue to implement the plans that we have put in place to not only move our club forward but to give the opportunity to our players to get the best out of themselves but most of all to enjoy their time at Banyule. This season we have embarked on areas that we have never considered previously and this was in the area of applying for grants to allow us to purchase items that would otherwise have to be raised through fundraising activities. We applied to the Banyule Council for a $10,000 grant for a shade shelter on the back oval and were granted $5000 toward the building of the structure .We needed more for this to become a reality, and with the help of some budding Oscar award winners we were successful with our application to Holden for an additional $10,000 to allow for the purchase to go ahead. I would like to take this opportunity to thank and acknowledge the contributions of Banyule Council and Holden and by extension Ralph D'Silva Holden Preston for their contribution as these commitments allow not for profit community based clubs like ours to improve facilities so that we can make our time at the club a bit more enjoyable as well as for those after us. As an outcome of our success with the Holden Grant Ralph D'Silva Holden have agreed to sponsor the club next season and hopefully onwards. I would also like to acknowledge Vogue Pergolas who will install the structure once council have completed all the predig applications. We also applied to Greensborough RSL for a defibrillator which once again we were successful and I would like to thank Greensborough RSL and Banyule Council for awarding such an important piece of equipment for our club especially with our large number of Vets players and watchers. We were not always successful with all our applications but we will continue to monitor and apply for grants that will help us continue to provide a facility that we can all be proud of. I would like to make it perfectly clear to everybody that the money provided from our grants are not there to top up the clubs bank balance and is all accounted for in the projects and if not utilised for the project must be returned to the provider.
Another area we wanted to build on was with our partnerships and this year we were approached by Bonola Automotive Services as they were looking for a club to support and were of the view that our club fitted their needs. With this partnership we were able to purchase from one of our other partners Concept Partners , new playing shirts for all our junior and senior players so thank you Bonola Automotive for this support and they have agreed to continue this partnership into the future.
I would like to acknowledge and thank our other partners as without their continued support we would have to raise fees etc. to provide you with the equipment and facilities we have become used to so in no particular order thank you Dan Sheean of Hocking Stuart, Peter Adams of Concept Partners, Michael Asbury of Melbourne Restaurants, The Harp of Erin Hotel and Rick Hartnett & Associates. We need to build on this base and if you have anybody in mind that may have an interest no matter how small in supporting your club financially please contact our newly appointed Sponsorship Manager Nick Murray and he will be able to provide you with our proposals.
As our season progressed we then moved into fundraising, firstly was our Casino Royale Night that for those few that attended was a fun night but as it was poorly attended we took a lost on the night. We then had the fundraiser for RUOK because UMatter day which coincided with our matches against Heidelberg. This was an exceptionally successful day for the chosen charity "Camp Magic" and I would like to thank all that were involved as well as thank Heidelberg CC for supporting the event. I have expressed a desire to Heidelberg for this to be an ongoing event and that next season we will reciprocate the same level of support to Heidelberg if they chose to go down the same path and nominate a charity that is of their choice. I also have thanked the DVCA for supporting the event by way of fixturing and have suggested that this could become a competition wide event when a round of cricket is set up to support chosen charities.
Our final club fundraiser was the $2500 reverse drawer which was well supported by not just our senior club members but by families from our junior groups our Vets and also by Banyule Football Club which is something I have been working on with the football clubs to build on our relationships as we all use the same facilities for the same purpose and that is to represent the Banyule family. I would like to offer a big thank you to Tommy Elmer as our Fundraiser/events manager as he has done a fantastic job and at times under some duress as we were not sure how things would progress.
We are a family club with many families contributing to the clubs history and I am hopeful that we may gain some help from our female group as I believe you will add a different perspective on how the club can improve in the way of engagement of its membership so that when and if a fundraising event takes place it is not the same people always attending. I have also this year engaged more with our past players by regularly emailing them club updates which I have found has been welcomed by many of the players as they were able to be kept up to date with their clubs achievements. One way this was done was via our Howzat newsletter that was put together by Connor Lennox and Nick Murray which
15 was well received by the past players as well as our club partners as we could use this as way of keeping them in touch with our club. I hope this will continue as it is a great way to advertise our club and its partnerships.
Our U12's and Vets A Grade teams won premierships and I congratulate them on their achievements as we are all jealous of their success.
The future of the club looks bright with a young group gaining experience and the confidence of their abilities as they build on the opportunities they are given to represent our club. We expect numbers to once again be strong for the 2016/2017 season which places the club in a good position to negotiate with council to improve our facilities so that you can perform to your best abilities.
Thank you to the committee for all their work during the year with an extra special thank you to my wife Terri, you have put up with a lot during the past year with most nights my time taken with cricket matters, being making grants applications, attending meetings, writing minutes, dealing with security issues, or just the day to day cricket club administration thank you for your understanding and I can only hope it will get easier.

The report is very comprehensive covering the club’s full incorporated history, total club season review for 2015/2016 including all award winners, the club’s financial report for 2015/2016 as well as individual reports from key office bearers, coaches (senior and junior) and all senior captains. The club’s playing averages in all grades are also included.
With 4 Senior Teams, 3 Vets Teams, 8 Junior Teams and over 100 kids in In2Cricket and T20 Blast programs, the Banyule Cricket Club sits proudly as one of the largest community sporting clubs in the Northern Region.
We have an amazing number of dedicated volunteers who contribute to the running of our club. Central to this are our hard working President Graham Clapton, Junior Manager and Junior Secretary Michael Harte and James McIntyre respectively, Geoff Place in charge of our Vets Cricket and Steve Pinner looking after our In2Cricket programs. In their support we are privileged to have very hard working senior and junior committees without which we would not have the wonderful club we have today.
The regulatory and compliance requirements to operate our club seem to rise year on year as we maintain numerous responsibilities to Cricket Victoria, DVCA and Banyule City Council on an ongoing basis.
Thank you to all captains and coaches who support me in adhering to the many of these compliance tasks needed to operate the club. From correctly completing scorebooks, team sheets, cricket balls, best & fairest votes, completing umpires’ reports, the list continues to ensure the operational side of the club is run as smoothly as possible and minimise league fines.
Thank you to Ando for all your canteen work every Saturday. This is a huge commitment for which the club is very grateful. Thank you also for your work as the club’s resident historian and record keeper. The club records you put up each year always generate significant interest.
Season 2015/2016 brought a special highlight playing in a Vets A premiership with many long-time teammates and some wonderful new ones.
Thank you to Susan and my girls.
Looking forward to season 2016/2017. As always, you’ll find me in Legends’ Corner of a Saturday and more than likely doing a hammy on the field on a Sunday!!

TREASURERS REPORT & FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
TO THE MEMBERS OF THE BANYULE CRICKET CLUB INC, The final result for the financial year ending 30 April 2016 was a surplus of $9,871. This is a $13,804 increase on the previous financial year deficit of $3,933.
Revenue Membership revenue increased by $2,323. The increase is largely due to: Increasing membership prices, which had been frozen for the previous two seasons; Increase in junior membership numbers, primarily t20 Blast/in2cricket programs; offset by Less senior members, reflected in the increase in junior players filling senior sides.
# Financial Members 2014/15 2015/16 Change Junior 115 168 +51 Senior 35 27 -8 Vets 19 28 +9 Social 5 13 +7
Bar and Canteen recorded a $12,096 gross margin, operating at 49% margin. This is a decrease from last year, and can be largely attributed to lower levels of purchasing from previous year, with margin remaining steady from previous year.
Corporate Sponsorship was up by $2,384 from last year, while Social Revenue was also up by $1,572 from last year. Increase in Social Revenue was achieved due to a profit from $2500 Draw and pre-season Bunnings BBQ, less loss from Casino Night and donation of bar profits from RUOK Day.
Expenses Cricket expenditure was $1,772 lower than last year. This is largely due to carried over ball stock from previous year.
Capital expenditure related the payment of High School Oval Shade Structure, less funding received by not yet spent. This resulted in negative capital for the year. This excess funding is expected to be spent on completion of project.
I would like to say a special thank-you to our new President, Graham Clapton. First year in charge is always challenging, and no doubt he learnt plenty throughout the year that he can build on and improve in coming years.
Finally, a big thank you to anybody who helped me along the way with running to the bank to get change, captains who were always chasing me to give me money, and everyone who paid their membership and everyone on the committee for their great work. While we didn’t have the on-field success this season (except our glorious Vets side), it wasn’t through a lack of effort. We are building something, and the entire committee is to be commended for the strategy and vision they have put in place to set us up for many years of success.
Looking forward to another successful season on and off the field.

SOCIAL VP’S REPORT
Hello all from 10,500 miles away. It was an interesting social season for the club with highs and lows but in all we finished strongly. The first half of the season wasn’t the best for social functions with poor showings to the season launch and casino night. We didn’t have the iPod shuffle night this season to avoid the chance players will get too used to it and wouldn’t attend. This was a mistake as we lost the ability to make money as well as not creating the atmosphere and buzz around the club which can be carried on with functions early in the season.
Casino Royale night was another failure as we didn’t have the numbers to meet the costs though I was pleased with how the night was run with a concept never tried before and hope everyone enjoyed themselves who made the effort to attend with Adam Samad proving he is the King of the blackjack table at Banyule.
The major function of the season was the reverse money draw which went through plenty of hurdles to get the green light lit to get it up and running. Undoubtedly it was one of the best functions I’ve been a part of and was proud to organise it as it raised plenty of funds for the club but also got together the senior and junior clubs together to enjoy the day. I would hope this event is held annually as functions like this you look back on and enjoy the most.
At the end of the season we held a very successful Rock and Roll break up night with Rod Ebbage and his full band “Maxed Out” entertaining the audience and keeping the dance floor packed all night.
One thing I would like to add is the club puts on social functions for everyone to enjoy, if you don’t like a certain function due to the theme or what is being offered it is up to you to inform either myself or someone on the committee as not having people rock up to functions early in the season will put plenty of pressure on other functions later in the year which could also result in them getting cancelled. Moving forward I hope ALL players and supporters will back the functions the club has to offer as we are a family club and should think we have one of the best social environments going around. For younger members who think functions may cost a lot just do the maths as you’ll be able to buy drinks far cheaper than going out into the city and the taxi fare will be cheaper to get home. If your still concerned just make sure 3 of your mates are at the club as a Uber to Anyway will only cost you around $10 each, Precinct $7 each.
I’ll be stepping down from my role of course but would wish the best of luck to whoever replaces me and I’ll be happy to offer what advice I can give. I would like to thank the entire committee for supporting the functions we held, even though there were disagreements and roadblocks we got there in the end. Special thanks to Michael Johnson who MC in the money draw and would like to think he’ll do the job again next season. Also all the supporters and players who attended any function throughout the season as without your support, the club loses a major revenue stream and wouldn’t be the club we all love and cherish.
Best of luck for season 2016/17 and I’ll be back in a few years’ time.

COACHES’ REPORT
Season 2015/16, where to begin!
Challenging the on field expectations of our previous campaign in which all competitive sides earned the right to a finals berth was always going to be a big task, which only became more magnified with the loss of 15+ players from 2014/15, 10 of whom had represented our 1st and 2nd XI’s. However, the Banyule Cricket Club and I have never looked towards excuses or towards the negative, but rather, towards the positives that would and could eventuate from the season ahead.
The above in mind, a young squad got to work throughout July, August and September, preparing and honing skills and fitness throughout the pre-season to ready themselves for the competition awaiting.
In and amongst some changes at the top, most noticeably Graham Clapton taking the Presidency reigns from Mick Asbury; Ryan Batchelder, Paul Davis and Michael Harte were appointed the respective captains of our 2nd, 3rd and 4th XI’s. Before I progress any further, I would like to sincerely thank Ryan, Paul and Michael for all of their hard work, their guidance and support of our playing group certainly in amongst some challenging times. I would also like to thank Darren Butterworth for putting his hand up to lead our 2nd XI when Ryan’s maiden senior 1st XI opportunity presented.
To the cricket, and as mentioned, the positives that have arisen from season 2015/16 will be of significance for seasons to come. Mentioned in my weekly column as the close of the season approached, I penned that we may not be measured by senior finals in 2015/16, but rather for the future leaders of our fantastic family club that we have seen emerge, develop and prosper in the light of opportunity. We need look no further than Bailey Neilson, Adam Samad, Connor Braniff and Connor Lennox to name a few, whom given the opportunity, stepped up and made positive contributions in our 2nd XI.
The opportunity to coach the Banyule Cricket Club is an absolute privilege, one that I do not take for granted.
Over the season, it was an absolute pleasure to watch the progress and development of our seriously talented youth playing within our senior ranks. The likes of Bailey Neilson, Alex Pozzobon, Mitchell Tate, James Gattuso, Sean Millis, Justin McInerney, Nathan Aitken, Connor Tolley, Tom Dyall, Jack Arandt, Pat Kennedy, Alex Arandt, Jackson Bowler and Josh Neilson, to name just a few, are a superb group of young leaders who live and breathe their cricket. The future of our club is in good hands.
A sincere thank you to both Nick Murray and Justin Poyser for co-captaining our T20 campaign. 80 overs, 40 overs or T20, knocking off the Rosanna Cricket Club on the final ball of a match in any format is an awesome victory!
To all involved in our three Vets teams, coordinated brilliantly by Geoff Place, congratulations on extremely successful seasons. An especial congratulations to our premiers, the Vets A XI led by Greg Anderson.
I would like to congratulate all of our junior sides and the hard working coaches who put in an extremely large volume of quality teaching time to the benefit of the Banyule junior cubs. To Mick Asbury, Ryan Malcolm, Lucas Willoughby, Brad Bowler, Paul Davis, Steve Pinner, Brent O’Connor and Brad and Lindsay Russell, a sincere thank you. An especial congratulations to our premiers, our under 12 XI coached by Paul Davis.
To our fantastic sponsors, who help provide us with the fabulous opportunities our players and members are offered within our wonderful club, and to all the members of our hard working committee whom undertake their respective voluntary roles so professionally, thank you. To Graham, sincerely, a job well done in your first year of presidency.
And last but not least, to all of our senior players, “some people want it to happen, some wish it would happen, others make it happen,” We’ll be back bigger and stronger to make it happen when season 2016/17 returns.
RYAN HARTNETT SENIOR COACH
22 MONEY SHIELD GRADE (1ST X1)
Season 2015/16
My words to our young senior 1st XI core before the first ball of the season had been fired down were that my measurement of success in 2015/16 would not be based on the win loss column, but rather on our commitment, preparation and game day competitiveness week in week out. Out of our 11, we earned four victories, we were heated off for shared points against an emerging Montmorency who finished the season two positions above us, and we felt the sting of loss on six occasions, one in which we lowered our colours to the eventual premiers. Two hard fought victories in the final two rounds deservingly saw us finish in seventh position, and already, we have begun to reload for an exciting, improved and prosperous 2016/17, where we will be playing against quality opposition round after round.
The opportunity to play 1st XI cricket for the blue and maroon is something I and many at the club hold extremely dear. I was extremely proud of Zac Tolley, Oliver McGillion, Dale Rodda and Ryan Batchelder, all of whom deservingly made their senior debut over the season past.
Zac Tolley’s maiden 1st XI half century on debut in Round One was breathtaking. His first senior wicket in amongst a five wicket haul in Round Ten was as equally special. What did I mention about the future leaders we have seen emerge, develop and prosper in the light of opportunity?
Over the season, it was a privilege to watch the progression of both Nick Murray and Jake Smith with both bat and ball. Both young men exhibited leadership, maturity beyond their years and played pivotal roles in our ability to capture four wins, as evident in Nick’s output in our match against the Camrea Taipans and Jakes batting innings against both Mill Park and Hurstbridge. Both Nick and Jake should be extremely proud of their respective seasons, and as per the rest of our playing group, should be hungry for 2016/17 to arrive.
After patiently recovering from a revision knee operation over the winter, Michael Hannan’s season began to rapidly take shape from our third round clash against Greensborough onwards. Mick once again led our bowling attack with four five wicket hauls amongst 36 wickets for the season. For the second consecutive year, Mick was the first picked bowler in the DVCA Money Shield Team of the Year, and he was runner up by a seldom vote to competition stalwart Mark Minney in the DVCA John Gleeson Medal. I would also like to thank Mick for his support and professionalism in his first season as our senior 1st XI Vice-Captain.
In and amongst our core of youthful talent, it would be remiss of me to forego acknowledgment of the contributions Justin Poyser, Brett Oliver and Michael Johnson made throughout the season. The three men mentioned above all stepped up in their own respective way, not only in performance, but in leadership and their offering of guidance to me in my first year as senior 1st XI captain.
I would like to sincerely thank every one of the 17 guys who represented our 1st XI this season, giving unquestionable effort and commitment. As a youthful squad full of fantastic guys, we are most definitely heading in the right direction to achieve sustained on-field success together. Bring on 2016/17.

C GRADE (2ND X1)
After a Grand Final berth last year for both the 1st and 2nd XI sides, expectations going into pre-season were high. Unfortunately, losing a combined total of 8 players from those 2 sides just before the start of the season meant it was going to be a more difficult to build on the results of the previous year.
The great advantage of this however were the opportunities given to some younger players to be able to perform and grow. This was highlighted no better than Ollie McGillion and Bailey Neilson, who took out the bowling and fielding awards respectively. Ollie stepped up to lead the bowling attack in almost every game he played, while Bailey continued to improve his influence in the field and well as gaining valuable experience batting high in the order at times and bowling overs at different stages in the innings.
After a slow start to the year, we really picked up some momentum just before Christmas on the back of some strong bowling and fielding performances. This continued for the second half of the year and winning 5 of our last 6 games saw us only an extremely poor umpiring decision from finishing 4th and playing finals.
The standout win for the year was in round 8 against Plenty. Playing against one of the best bowling attacks in the grade, we were reduced to 6/15 before being bowled out for 78. Despite the low total, we were confident we could still get the win. A near perfect bowling and fielding effort saw us bowl them out for 73.
Our batting was an issue throughout the whole year. Only one score above 53 showed we were unable to bat for long enough periods which doesn’t allow you to win 2 day games consistently. Despite some positive partnerships that put us in strong positions at times, they were almost always followed up by collapses. Unfortunately no one was able to score enough runs to qualify for the batting award which summed up how well we performed with that bat.
Overall we had a reasonable year considering the issues we faced. Whilst we didn’t achieve what we wanted, we certainly fast tracked the development of some players who will hopefully be able to step up again next year and play some 1st XI cricket.
Special thanks to Ryan Hartnett for all of his assistance throughout the year and to Darren Butterworth who captained the final 2 games of the season.

27 D GRADE (3RD X1)
The season of 2015/16 was in reflection a frustrating time. When we look back on the year we only won four games, but that doesn’t really paint a true picture of what we achieved for the year. In most games we were up for the fight but lady luck didn’t shine on us as often as we would have liked.
During the year we had 34 players represent our side including 12 young men from our junior program (and a couple of U12 and U14 boys coming off the bench). It was encouraging to see some new fresh faces stamping their authority on games and I hope these young men use this momentum to build on next season. Seeing these lads step up at crucial times throughout the year was truly rewarding and I would like to acknowledge their efforts:
Connor Lennox – Had a good year with the ball but his batting at certain times was great to watch. Look forward to seeing this develop more next year.
James Aleksandrov – Great to have James back and was a massive contributor with both bat and ball before he went up a grade and did very well.
Cameron Ataryniw – Always gives everything and that’s all you can ask for as a Captain and team mate. Finished the year strongly with the ball and look forward to seeing more of this in the future.
Also a special mention to Connor Braniff who kept for most of the season. This young man was the winner of our fielding award this year and not only is he a gifted keeper, he has a real determination that I think will see him become a terrific player for Banyule.
Thanks also to Ryan Hartnett for the effort you put into the boys. I know results didn’t go our way this year but with the power of work you put in I know the results you want aren’t far away.
To all the players that represented third grade this year – thanks very much for your efforts and I know if we keep working hard the ultimate success is not far away.
GO BEARS!!

G GRADE (4TH X1)
Fourth XI Season 2015/16 Report Following a changing of the guard, this season in the fourths was all about blooding young talent in an environment where they could observe and learn from some of the clubs living legends.
To this end, we had 15 junior players come through the ranks this season consisting of two U18s, eleven U16s and two U14s. These juniors were guided and mentored by the experienced and wise heads of Brad Russell, Geoff Place, Graeme Renshaw and Brad Bowler. I would like to thank these legends (all BCC life members) for their help this season and for being such great role models for our younger club mates. I’d also like to thank our in-betweeners in Lindsay Russell, James Fraser and Jordan Prasad who played a number of games during the season and who had to, at times, take a back seat.
With the large number of changes to the team each game it was hard to get any real momentum up this season but I was pleased that whoever came into the team gave their best and enjoyed their cricket. Unfortunately, we missed out on finals but the experience that we got into our younger boys will mean that they will be a lot stronger next season.
Highlights for the season included a fantastic innings of 174 n.o. by Skull; cameo performances with the bat by Jordi Samad, Hollywood and Cam; consistent performances with the bat and ball by Matt H (including a maiden half century) and Spencer; the leg spin bowling of Jack A; Jackson Bowler playing every game this season and the late season form of Plugga. My personal highlight was playing alongside my son Matt and our round 3 win over Greensborough where there were three Hartes in the team (Michael, Damian and Matthew). We had 4 father-son and 1 uncle-nephew combinations play this season which was also a highlight (especially for the dads/uncles).
The batting award went to Brad Russell for another gutsy season opening the batting, the bowling award went to me (by default-the juniors could only bowl 5 overs at a time and so didn’t get the same opportunities) and the fielding award went to Jackson Bowler who improved dramatically over the season.
I must give a big thank-you to Ryan Hartnett who found players for us all season, including on match day. His vision and support for what we were doing in the fourths was much appreciated. Thanks also to PD and Batch for the work they did on selection night and for nurturing some of our junior players in their teams. Thanks to the parents of the juniors who got their boys to the matches and thanks again to the elder statesmen of the team for their invaluable support and encouragement this season. Thanks also to the supporters and committee members who took the time to come and watch us on the back oval and even brought our drinks over when required.
I look forward to seeing a lot of the boys at pre-season training in a few months time and watching them progress through the ranks in the coming years.

VETS A, VETS C BLUE & VETS C RED GRADES
This was the first season that Banyule Cricket Club has fielded 3 Veteran Teams. I would like to take this opportunity to thank every player who played for us this season. I can’t believe how lucky our club is to have such quality blokes want to play for us. Thank you once again for all of your support; you make my job so much easier.
We had 20 debutantes in total; Matt Perugini, Jay Manolakakis, Glenn Butterworth, Mick Johnson, Tony Short, Angelo Perillo, Matt Sinnett, Andrew Hetherington, Rob Jones, Jamie Parsons, Craig Pitcher, Shaun Cooley, Peter McCaffrey, Adrian Stapleton, Peter Cargin, Alistair Howell, Victor Talevski, Trace Bakker, Matthew Hart and Rowan Wilson.
Our A Grade was strengthened with inclusion of some of the young 40 year old colts. A fantastic effort from Ando and the boys to win the A Grade premiership in such an emphatic fashion. No-one would have been happier than Brett Oliver who finally has a premiership after playing in 13 losing Grand Finals. It was a brilliant day and showed the DVCA what a great club we belong to. The Banyule supporters were there in numbers and vocal in their support. We had 21 players play in A Grade in total this season.
We fielded two teams in C Grade Veterans called Blues and Reds. Both were unlucky not to make finals. The game that we played each other was decided by a single run and showed just how close both teams are in talent.
Thank you to my fellow C Grade Captain Brad Bowler for his outstanding leadership of a rookie Red team who quickly gelled together and were the only side to beat the eventual premiers. To the Blue boys, thanks once again for all your support and friendship. I really enjoy playing our camaraderie. One day we will win a Premiership together.
The Super Sundays were the games that we really looked forward to, when two of our teams were drawn to play side by side on our ovals with the beers and stories flowing thick and fast post match.
In total we had 18 players represent the Blue team and 17 players don the whites for the Red team.
Next season we want 4 teams whether it be 3 Vets and an Over 50’s or just 4 Vets won’t be decided until other clubs nominate their sides. Nevertheless, it would be great to have 4 teams, so everyone can play at their level.
Please get back to me if you know of anyone who wants to escape the Sunday domestic chores every second week and step onto the field of dreams to relive past glories.
Finally I’d like thank Adrian Brown for making his Phillip island Beach House available for the Vets end of season trip for the fourth successive year. You are an absolute legend Browny. Our Vets Cricket Trip gets bigger and better each year, this year we had both Jay and Nick cooking their specialities and live music on the deck was provided by Rod Ebbage and Browny. The local footy, the quaddies and the Trumpet Bar were all trip highlights. Bring on next season.
Cheers

JUNIOR COORDINATORS REPORT
Season 2015-16 was about building on the great work done by Marty Veal over the past three seasons and injecting some new blood into the junior committee. In honour of Marty, the club struck a new award, the Marty Veal Memorial Shield, which is awarded to a person for outstanding contribution to the juniors. Spencer and David Veal presented the award to the inaugural winner, Jackson Bowler, at the junior presentation night. Jackson was awarded the shield for his great club attitude, leadership and efforts at training and playing (he played every game in the Senior 4ths this season-not bad for a 13 year old).
There were 97 junior players this season including 39 new players. All competitive teams reached the semi-finals and the U12s again brought home a premiership flag.
We were very lucky this season to have an influx of boys and dads from the Banyule Junior Football Club. These individuals added greatly to the participation rates in the juniors and also to the junior committee. Club president, Graham Clapton, was also a constant support to the juniors and his tireless work and dedication to the club is simply amazing. The administration of the juniors was streamlined and brought into the 21st century by James “Daf” McIntyre who, with his wizardry with spreadsheets, data gathering and analysis organized a brilliant sign up day, organized team selections and lists and set up a communication system to keep players and parents connected to the club. James was awarded the David Johnston memorial trophy this season in recognition of his contribution to the juniors.
Brad and Lindsay Russell again coached the U10 Joeys this season and did a great job. Their patience with, and guidance of our youngest club members, is something that the boys and our club benefit from greatly as these boys come up through the ranks in the coming years.
Former club captain/coach Brent O’Connor returned to the club in an official capacity this season and devoted his considerable talents to coaching an U12 development side. Along with Damian Braniff and Peter McCaffrey our three U12 development teams were in good hands and I thank Brent, Damian and Peter for all of the hard work they put into the boys this season. I know a lot of the boys (and their dads) are keen to have a crack at the competition grades next season.
Paul Davis again coached the U12s this season to a premiership flag (one of two earned by the club). The boys had a great season and it was great to see the camaraderie amongst the boys and also amongst their parents- good work PD. Brad Bowler coached the U14s, ably supported by Andrew Mills, and the boys were very unlucky not to progress to the Grand Final following some shenanigans in the semi-final.
Lucas Willoughby did a fine job again with the U16s this season, who unfortunately couldn’t break their Semi-Final hoodoo.
Mick Asbury got an U18 team together and empowered the boys to organize and lead themselves which they did admirably all season.
Thanks to all the parents who helped out on match days, attended the social functions, got their boys to training and matches, washed the grass stains out of their whites and gave them some food mid-match. Hopefully you enjoyed being around the club.
Finally, I would like to thank all of the people who got behind the juniors this season and committed their time and energy to making sure it was a great success. I can honestly say that with the quality of people involved, the drive to improve our coaching and pathways and the passion displayed by these people this season, the Banyule Cricket Club can look forward to some outstanding results in the years ahead.
MICHAEL HARTE JUNIOR COORDINATOR
39 JUNIORS - U18
At the start of the year we were struggling for numbers, I asked the boys to speak with their friends and see if we could get a team together. We were very lucky and privileged to get some fantastic young men down to the club on the back of this. Thanks to Jadyn, Brent and or course Parko! Hopefully they liked it enough to move their senior careers to Banyule.
I made it clear from the start of the season it was their team and I was just there to help and instruct where needed as my work wouldn’t allow me to get to the games until late.
The boys voted for their captain and vice captain who were to take the reigns. Well done to Ryan Malcom and Adam Samad being elected Captain and Vice Captain, respectively. Your help and maturity was a fantastic assistance for the season. Just shows how much respect your team mates have for you.
- We started the year strong 2 wins from 3 games then the fun began - Due to weather, rounds 4 and 5 were draws - Round 6 we lost by forfeit due to the majority of the boys partaking in schoolie activities - Round 7 and 8 were drawn again due to the weather - Round 9 we won by forfeit to Camrea Taipans - Which meant with the last round upon us we had played a total of 3 full games from 9 rounds and were in finals contention - Round 10 was a must win game to make the finals which we did in a convincing fashion - Unfortunately the Semi Final whilst we played well we lost wickets at crucial times which cost us the game - Well done on a fantastic interrupted year
Before moving into the awards I would like to acknowledge Kari Neilsen (and Fraser when he filled in for her) for your help this year as team manager. Your organisation of communications with the parents by email, getting parents to score and collecting match fees was an invaluable assistance
Also to the parents that helped throughout the year getting the boys to the games on time, scoring and organising car pools to travel to the far reaches of the earth to play Whittlesea on a Friday night, something I won’t miss when my son finishes his junior career. A big thanks, I am sure your sons appreciate your help and let you know this every day.
The bowling award was won by Bailey Neilson, the batting award was won by Jadyn White and the fielding award went to Bryce Gardiner. The Coaches award this season goes to Alex Pozzobon. I don’t give this award lightly. My criteria is that this award to should go to the young man who contributes in many ways to the team. Whilst his training ethic is questionable I do love his commitment to banter and his love of chiming in with a witty comment even if not required. He had an exceptional year with the ball and in the field and was integral to our success, definitely a revelation for our club, as good leg spinners are hard to come by.
Finally, a shout out to the following boys: Brent Rodda - once he finally told us he was a bowler, he contributed exceptionally with the ball and bat. He is a genuine super star and may have even eclipsed his brother in the good bloke stakes. Adam Samad - An exceptional year with the bat for you, I predict big things in the future for you.
Well done on a great season.
Go Bears!

What a great season of junior cricket. Unfortunately we didn’t take the cake, but we had a good crack. I’m excited for the coming season for not only for the 16’s but also the 18’s. Both of these teams are going to be extremely competitive with a great group of young men in each. Also the 14’s coming up to make their 16 debut is exciting.
I am extremely proud of all the boys this year, not for winning so many games, not for getting to the finals, but for every under 16 player to make their senior debut whether it be in 4th, 3rd or 2nd grade I cannot stress how proud I am. Well done to all the boys, seriously you should be very proud. A lot of the senior boys know and are aware that their positons in a senior side are far from guaranteed, this is because of all of our juniors knocking on the door, (mine included).
I would also like to thank the parents for all of their help throughout the season, I couldn’t have done it without them. Special mention to my team managers Donna and Jason Kennedy, collecting the money each week doesn’t sound like much but as every coach knows it’s a pain.
Also would like to thank Damian Braniff, having someone score every week and enter the score into mycricket each week is an amazing effort and I thank you.
I say it every year but I am very excited for the future of Banyule CC with some fantastic cricketers coming through the junior process.
Congratulations under 16 team on your great effort this season, I have enjoyed the experience and I look forward to seeing you all next season for bigger and better things.

This season we had 13 players in our team, the emphasis for the season was on improvement and ensuring each player got the best opportunity on and off the field to improve on their performances. Whilst not overly competitive in the one day games the boys managed to win all of the two day games throughout the home and away season which ensured we made the finals. A great achievement by the boys as we had 5 second year U/14’s and 8 first year U/14’s. Unfortunately the only two day game we lost for the season was in the semi-final to Rosanna who went on to become the Premiers for the year. This year the team virtually had 2 coaches, due to work commitments, neither Darren Mills or myself could be available two days a week, thus Darren ran training on a Tuesday night and I ran Friday night matches. I must sincerely thank Darren for his tireless work throughout the year, without Darren’s input I’m not sure where we would have ended up as a team. Darren, it was fantastic working with you throughout the year, your input to the teams performances cannot be underestimated. All players should be proud of their achievements this year and more importantly the way they carried themselves on and off the field, players were rostered on and off throughout the year and at no time were there any complaints from anyone. To all the trophy winners congratulations, Marcus Patamia Batting (also won the Comp Batting), Darcy Mills Bowling, Josh Neilson Fielding , Conor Buckley, Tome Wise and Luke Pantalone for the coaches awards. To all the parents who turned up every Friday night a big thank you, I think we were the best fed group in the competition.
Finally to Louise and Jackson, Louise as Team Manager you ensured the whole team was on top of all of our requirements and more importantly where I had to be each week. To Jackson a big thank you for the year, I really enjoyed our chats each Friday night after the game, whereby you never whinged but just gave me advice on what we should do each week, your insight into the game of cricket is alarmingly astute - must have got it from your mum.
Thanks to Graham and the committee for their ongoing support

PREMIERS 2015 / 16
The season of 2015/16 was an amazing journey for a terrific bunch of young men. We had a reasonably new team and it did take a few games for us all to gel and once we clicked into gear there was no stopping them. After a difficult first three games we didn’t drop another game for the year and of course finished the season as the Premiers for season 2105/16. There was one particular thing about this team that impressed me the most and that was their willingness to apply themselves at training and of course this reflected on each player contributing significantly at different times of the year. In the Semi Final against a very good team in Eltham we were able to restrict them to a very competitive 121. This was the first time they had been bowled out for the season and while we bowled well, we fielded like demons with three direct runouts. The test was to come as Eltham had been the best bowling side all year. After losing a couple of early wickets and being 2/23 the two Flynn’s combined and put on a partnership of 91 to steer us to victory. Individual Performances: Glenn Crawford: 4/11, one runout and hit the winning runs Billy Stapleton: 4 overs for eight runs Zac Brown: 4 overs 1/13 Flynn Davis: 27, one runout and one catch Flynn Burak: 50 not out and two catches
We marched into the Grand Final against Heidelberg brimming with confidence and up for the fight. We batted first and again lost a few early ones. The opposition bowled very well and we really had to work hard for our runs. It was great to see some different boys step and really apply themselves and take up the challenge thrown their way. We ended up making a very good total in 103. Throughout the innings it was great to see lots of partnerships with everyone contributing. Individual Performances: Mitchell Thompson: 20 runs Patrick Carr: 15 runs Billy Stapleton: 16 not out Special mention to both Billy and Jake Talevski on a last wicket partnership of 25
Unfortunately we couldn’t complete the match – we lost one day to the extreme heat policy and the second day to rain. As a result we were awarded joint Premiers with Heidelberg and while this was a disappointing conclusion to the season it was a terrific result considering how we started the year. I would also like to acknowledge the award winners for the year: Batting - Flynn Burak 153 runs @ 51.00 (HS 50not out) Bowling – Glenn Crawford 9 wickets @ 6.67 (BB 4/11) Fielding – Flynn Davis 6 catches & 2 unassisted runouts Coaches Award – Mika Supershad 149 runs @ 33.00 6 wickets @ 7.83 DVCA Batting Award for U12 Teal South – Mika Supershad I would also like to thank Craig Pitcher for his help during the year. As Team Manager and Assistant Coach his contribution was immense and greatly appreciated. Also a big thankyou to all the parents for your support throughout the year. Most importantly a big thankyou to all the boys this year. I hope you all enjoyed your cricket and I look forward to seeing you all next year. Well done on a tremendous year.

Thanks to all the boys for their efforts during the season. The most pleasing thing to see is the sportsmanship you all show to opposition teams and to your fellow teammates. I’ve always been a huge believer in this as a coach in football or cricket. Thanks to Clint & Mark on match days and helping out with training. I’m very fortunate to have coached half of these boys last season in Tommy, Aiden, Braydon, Leo, Nick & James. Over the two seasons they are becoming very, very good cricketers and I look forward to seeing them develop again. We had some handy recruits from the football club in Bailey, Aaron, Matt, Cammy who were all fantastic and, with our salary cap not full, we picked up a superb cricketer in Woody. We made some fantastic scores during the season no better than 1-200 against our arch rivals Laurimar. (Don’t we love going out there to play?) Boys also adapted well and quickly with the new rule of going out! I think only 5 cried in the first game LOL. In all seriousness no one cried they actually had a laugh about it. Even Bailey went out twice in nearly 4 balls and still managed to have a smile and high five my little boy Harry. Batting: Leo Hobson-Nichols 61 Runs Nick Bowler 74 runs Matt Pantelone 81 runs Tom Manolakakis 81 runs (Out once) Braydon O’Connor 158 runs. (Out once) Bowling : Cammy 3 wickets James 5 wickets Nick 5 wickets Leo 5 wickets Braydon 7 wickets Elwood 7 wickets Aidan 7 wickets Aaron 7 wickets Braydon 7 wickets Tommy 8 wickets Bailey 9 wickets
Last round, my little man Cammy batted perfectly, along with James, Leo and Aaron who smashed their highest scores for the season. It was a delight to see the smiles on their faces. Catching was fantastic. All of our development teams have been really strong in this area. Bray took 10 for the season Matt 6, Tom and Leo 5. Well done to all other coaches and helpers on a fantastic season of cricket for Banyule 2015/2016.

Coach: Peter McCaffrey
Team Manager: Fran Gould
What an absolutely fantastic season from so many points of view. Some highlights / observations follow:
The sense of team spirit developed between the boys was outstanding, highlighted by the celebrations in the field when wickets were taken. It was great to see the such genuine excitement shown for other team mates’ successes. The boys showed great sportsmanship, always playing in the spirit of the game. The individual development by all players across the season, and in all facets of the game, was enormous. Training together with the Blue and White teams worked extremely well, which will bode well for next season as teams get mixed up to a degree. The Maroon team were undefeated across the season when playing against other than Banyule Blue and White. Help by all parents was significant, never had to be requested, and was much appreciated.
Some individual comments for each of our Banyule cricketers:
Alexander Scrutton: A real natural talent. In his first season of cricket smashed all bowlers to all parts of the ground, along with being one of the quicker bowlers in the comp bowling left arm in swingers. Alex moves up to U14’s next season and won’t have a problem with that move. Angus McCaffrey: A hard hitting left hander who shows great natural timing. Also starting to show some keen interest and ability with the keeping gloves. Harrison Gould: Developing into an all-rounder, as well as being one of the most comfortable with the keeping gloves on. Always had a smile on his face and a great team mate. Hudson Ebbage: By the end of the season Hudson was really starting to show some great timing with the bat, and with the ball was starting to try some variety, even including the odd leg break. Also one of the real characters of the team. Jaxon McIntyre: Developing well in all facets of the game, and showing some real talent with the ball, bowling his leggies. Also showed a real passion for fielding. Marcus Jones: Marcus was playing his first season of competitive cricket and has plenty of natural talent. Gives the it a real crack with the bat and good in the field. Was always keen to listen to all feedback on his bowling. Nathanael Hetherington: Placed great value on his wicket when batting. With the ball he started the year bowling gentle mediums with good line and length and later in the season was exploring the off spin option. Oliver Lucas: Ollie was also playing his first year of cricket. In terms of improvement during the season Ollie was our greatest success story. By the end of the season his bowling had improved out of sight and was starting to show great natural timing with the bat. Sam Sheard: Another natural sporting talent, playing his first season of cricket. Shows great potential with both bat and ball and also one of our best in the field. Tom Sinnett: Tom is always very keen to take advice onboard and is keen to improve. By the end of the year was give it a real crack with the bat and continues to work hard on his bowling. William Sinnett: Will was by far our youngest player, giving away 2 years to most players in the team. Regardless, he fit into the team seamlessly, making great contributions with bat and ball. Will has great natural talent and has real passion for the game.
49 Here’s looking forward to an even bigger and better 2016/17 season for all Banyule junior cricketers.

UNDER 12’S DEVELOPMENT GRADE BLUE
Players From the very strong numbers of players we had across the Under 12 age group, this side was brought together near the start of the season and comprised of 8 core players. The side was regularly augmented with players from the competitive Under 12 team – massive thanks to Paul Davis for this support.
The DVCA Development program is very sound in its format in that players learn the importance when batting of protecting their wicket and making runs with limited balls to face – however, they know there is a chance to bat again which keeps them engaged throughout the innings.
Quite a few players were top age and playing their first year of cricket – Rohin Das, Mitchell Cargin, Charlie Vincent and Declan Braniff (with Gabriel Lancefield joining for a short while before domestic responsibilities forced the cessation of his playing year). With these boys heading into Under 14 competition next season, there was a strong emphasis on technique development to cope with the stronger boys they may play against in the future. Having the more experienced boys coming over from the PD’s team was tremendous as players on the blue team had weekly demonstrations of more mature playing styles.
Players staying within the Under 12 age group next year include Brodie Johnson, Oliver Mills, Jett Bennett, Lachlan McCulloch & Jacob Garrone. Jacob unfortunately was not able to complete the season as he moved schools after Christmas and travel times were against him.
Batting As the season developed the batting became considerably better in terms of front foot technique and confidence in running. The boys worked on their running particularly hard and benefitted with improved partnership results and a greater sense of team work.
The boys naturally stronger with front foot play were Brodie, Oliver, Rohin, Declan and Mitchell by the end of season. Jett is a prodigiously strong boy whose natural shot is seriously dangerous to anyone fielding close in on the leg side. By the end of the season this natural stroke play was being tempered as bowlers developed their skills and avoided the hitting zones favoured by Jett and he responded with more correct stroke play.
Lachlan by the end of the season developed confidence in running and his stroke play improved dramatically.
Bowling All boys contributed well with the ball. The focus was to be balanced in their run up, controlled through the delivery stride and targeting spots where the batsman were not comfortable.
Brodie, Oliver, Mitchell, Rohin and Declan were very controlled in their line and length – enjoying the wickets that resulted.
Jett’s strength gets him by through pure shoulder bowling. IN the future he will need more work to get him moving through the crease in a manner that gives consistency in line and length. When he was “on” with this bowling, he was extremely damaging.
Lachlan had to work very, very hard on not collapsing as he delivered the ball. He was benefitting from this work by the seasons end and began taking wickets. Hopefully as he grows, his core will strengthen up and support him while bowling to give him greater control.
Fielding The team enjoyed a heap of run outs through the year. The general engagement in the field after the initial overs were what you would expect from boys this age.
Behind the stumps and as active, engaged fielders, Oliver and Declan were surprisingly the stand outs.
In general The season was a success in many ways. The strongest competition came from within – in that the Banyule teams were technically stronger and more engaged.
From the players that are remaining in Under 12 next year, Brodie and Oliver would benefit from stronger competition and advanced coaching. Brodie’s batting and bowling were advanced for his age. Oliver has enhanced game sense and is quite skilled with bat and behind the stumps.
51 Of the 5 boys going into Under 14 competition they are prepared for that, however, their ability to cope with the players who are physically stronger and have played cricket for longer will be tested.

MILO In2Cricket & T20 BLAST
Banyule Milo in2Cricket and T20 Blast
Season 2015/16 saw over 100 young cricketers start or continue their formative cricket life in our Milo in2Cricket and T20 Blast Programs. Our new structure saw both our introductory in2Cricket Program (for 4-7 year olds) and our T20 Blast Program (7-10 yrs) run side by side and at the same time. This allowed for improved convenience for parents with kids in each age group as well setting out clearly our 'Banyule Cricket Pathway’ (in2Cricket-T20 Blast-Junior Cricket-Senior Cricket).
Our in2Cricket Program adopted somewhat of an ‘Auskick’ model in terms of having set coaches each age or school group. We also endeavoured to implement modified cricket games into our skill sessions as often as possible, which provided not only for improved skill development but also saw the kids playing actual games of cricket, which they all loved! Of our 66 enrolled participants, I predict that about half will continue along the pathway to T20 Blast for next season, with the remaining returning for another year of in2Cricket.
Brent O’Connor coordinated all T20 Blast organisation on Saturdays, with four teams playing each other throughout the 12 week season. This was a massive job as Ocka strived to allocate teams equal in terms of ability and considering of friendships whilst dealing with absences or late comers. The improvement that we saw in terms of skills developed both in games and in time spent on the Skills Zone in very exciting for the club’s future. I expect to have approximately twenty game ready T20 Blast players transition into our Under 10’s teams for season 2016/17.
The feedback that we have received from parents and kids has been very positive and I expect the program to continue to grow next season in terms of both numbers and the overall quality of what we provide. Our focus for season 16/17 will be to encourage more girls to play, particularly in our T20 Blast Program. We are aiming to have enough girls to fill two T20 Blast teams that can play each other every Saturday morning and then continue into any proposed DVCA Junior Girls Cricket Competition in future seasons.
One of the many highlights for the season was the 8 kids who represented Banyule Cricket Club at the lunch break at the Boxing Day Test at the MCG. We also had a number of in2Cricket and T20 Blast players take part in on field activities during the KFC BigBash, which was a big thrill for the kids and their parents as well!
A very heart felt thanks to the following coaches who gave up their time every Saturday morning for 3 months!
Darren Butterworth, Mark Brljak, Jim Anderson (Milo in2Cricket) Brent O’Connor, Jeff Wilson, Haydn Gifkins, Parkin Behayeddin, Bob Goulding (T20 Blast)
Plus Bailey Neilson, Lucas Willoughby, Graham Clapton and a number of parents (apologies for not mentioning you all individually) who helped out when requested.
It was due to the fantastic efforts of our coaches and helpers that our combined program is being looked at by Cricket Victoria as a potential model to promote to other clubs.
We are actively seeking someone to take over Saturday coordination of the in2Cricket Program as I will be trying to fill Ocka’s shoes as T20 Blast Coordinator on Saturdays, so if you’re interested, please let me know!
Go Bear Cubs!
