2 PRESIDENTS REPORT PETER HEWITT

The 1982/83 season saw the ACC look to the future and establish a U16's team in the WASTCA junior competition, under the management of Peter Hewitt and Garry Gregan.

Some of the names to debut in the U16s include, Rob Pulley, Richard Mulroney, Nick Ashbrook, Brett McGregor and Kenn MacPherson.

A number of the juniors graduated to senior ranks during the season, particularly as the club struggled for senior players at times.

During the winter Heathcote Club had decided to venture into the Metropolitan Cricket Association and as a result a number of Heathcote and non-Heathcote players left the club. Heathcote Oval was lost as a seniors home ground but was still available to the juniors. The club retained Mandala Reserve as a second home ground.

Peter Hewitt was elected President for the 3rd time, Garry Gregan was Secretary and Val Steenholdt Treasurer.

Stuart Rankin was third grade , fifth grade captaincy was awarded to Peter McLean and seventh grade captain was Aubrey King.

5 1ST XI CAPTAINS REPORT STUART RANKIN Played: 11 Won: 8 Lost: 3 Draws: 0 Position Finished: 3rd LOST GRAND FINAL - PROMOTED

The 1st XI (3rd Grade) captained by Stuart Rankin, performed strongly, despite the loss of players of the quality of Gary Tuckwell and John Speering in the off season, losing only 3 games and finishing in 3rd spot on the ladder, only 1.4 points behind grade winner Swanbourne. This position was assisted by taking 2 outright victories in the last 4 games.

Three batsmen stood out during the season, Tom Morgan leading the aggregate with 419 runs, followed by the consistent Alan Seubert with 394 runs and Eric Taylor 386 runs. The opening combination of Morgan and Taylor provided opening partnerships of 113 and 109 during the season.

The bowling attack was very even. Garry Gregan and new player Peter Bentley each took 27 , Val Steenholdt took 22 wickets and Stuart Rankin 20 wickets.

The semi-final against arch rival Doubleview was a triumph for leg spinner Alan Burrough. Batting first we made a solid 213, Tom Morgan top scoring with 69 and Eric Taylor contributing 44. In reply Doubleview reached 40 without loss but then lost 10 wickets for 60, Allan Burrough the destroyer with 6/27. Batting a second time Doubleview reached 5/86 before conceding, Alan taking 3/30 giving him match figures of 9/57.

The grand final against Swanbourne was a disaster. We batted first and crashed to 3/5, then after a mini-recovery we lost our last 7 wickets for 34 to total only 78. The opposition made 209, Garry Gregan taking 4/41.

Despite the loss, the club's first XI had achieved promotion for the third consecutive year.

DID NOT PLAY FINALS

The 2nd XI (5th Grade) captained by Peter McLean, just avoided relegation. After winning 3 of the first 5 games the fifth grade team did not win again, finishing in 10th place and thus avoiding relegation by 5 points.

The batting was sound during the season, 4 players passing 200 runs - Mike Johnson (235), Alan Burrough (228), junior player Gavin Jones (217) and new player Robin Smith (212).

The bowling attack struggled to dismiss opposition teams, only Alan Burrough with 31 wickets passing 20 wickets. This gave Alan 44 wickets for the season when combined with his third grade performance. Nick Ashbrook took 17 wickets in his first taste of senior cricket.

DID NOT PLAY FINALS / RELEGATED

The 3rd XI (7th Grade) captained by Aubrey King, had a terrible season, losing all matches and finishing in last place. The lack of depth in the club saw the team struggle to field 11 players at times.

As expected from such a poor season the batting and bowling figures were modest. Leading bowler was Mike Sibley with 14 wickets, Aubrey King taking 12 wickets. Leading batsman was Peter Newby with 162 runs.
