The 2012/13 season saw the Association take the next steps to ensure the longevity of the game of cricket in the St George area. Thanks to everyone who helped make the season a success, with the introduction of a T30 program for senior players who have trouble with availability on a weekly basis due to family and work commitments in particular. In the lower 10 and 12 Grades we changed rules to allow for more equitable participation. This is an area where in the past teams had one or two players who dominated. By ensuring equitable participation, we are allowing all players the chance to perform. For cricket to survive some traditions do have to make way for modern day thinking and these measures are the first of many for the association. I know that next season further refinements are planned for all competitions. On a sad note, the start of the season saw the passing of long term Patron and former Georges River Penshurst President Fred McKinnon. Fred had been a member of the association since the 50’s as a player before moving onto the Presidency, a position where he contributed with passion to establishing a strong Association. As a player, he was a strong wicket keeper and batsman who enjoyed local success with his Penshurst Club. He also played in the first winning Martin Shield team for Georges River Penshurst. He had been a Patron for 20 seasons and was about to start his 21st with his untimely death. The Association Executive took sometime before appointing two new Patrons. We welcome former President Kevin Greene and long term Life Member John Yates to the role. January saw the passing of former Umpire and Junior Committee member, Neville Ebsworth. Neville simply oozed cricket, taking on responsibilities of helping his sons as they played juniors for St Joseph’s Riverwood and De La Salle Kingsgrove, even taking on the role of secretary of both clubs. He was a member of the Junior committee before he took up umpiring, first with the Association and then moving through the Grade ranks to First Grade. His best umpiring experience was no-balling Geoff Lawson 5 times in an over! Our sympathies are extended to both families on their loss in the season and to all other families who had a loved one pass away. For this season completed, I would like to acknowledge the contributions of Secretary, Janelle Carew, and Treasurer, Rick Francis. These two committee members have worked tirelessly for the Association and without their support, the Association would not be in the great shape it is today. I would like to thank the other Executive Committee members for their support and tireless work throughout the season. First, Junior Competition Secretary, Danny Williams and Ron Ryan as Senior Competition Secretary who both kept a good watch over the progress of the Competitions. Matt Boland as Junior Registrar and Senior Registrar Ken Tildsley supported both competitions with their expertise. Assistant Secretary, Peter Smith, Vice President Graeme Fleming, Mick Able, and Michael Venn, my thanks as well for your contributions to the Association. Thanks to Rick Francis, Rep Team Coordinator, for organising the Representative Teams for the season. Our Representative program started in August with the Junior Development squads. These squads, thanks to the support of St George DCC and Kingsgrove Sports Academy, have been vital in preparing our elite cricketers for the rigours of the Representative Program. On the field, we were not successful in winning any competitions but was pleasing to note that the Watson Shield team competed in the playoffs. This was the first time this team has competed in this level since the Foster Shield so well done. At the other end of the scale, it was also pleasing to see that that our tradition of having competitive teams in the Foster Shield continued with this team also making the playoffs. Well done to the Cawsey Shield team who also made the playoffs, just falling short to eventual premiers Sutherland in the semi-final. This was this teams first ever loss in a play off series after 6 previous games. Congratulations must go to Colin D’arcy who achieved the NSWDCA Weblin Shield Player of the Year Award and the Weblin Shield Batting Award. I would like to express my thanks to the coaches and managers of all our Representative Teams but even bigger thanks to the players and families for representing the Association in such an outstanding manner. The Martin Shield team, although losing three close games, were outstanding representatives of the association. We do look forward to next year where the Committee has decided to put more effort in the senior representative competitions. The Association thanks go to the NSWDCA for providing opportunity for all the representative competitions, especially to the Executive Officer Eric Myatt for his outstanding organisation. Locally, all competitions were close. In the juniors, with Blast and increased flexible arrangements in how some of the lower junior grades were organised, offered some exciting chases for semi final spots. I must give my personal congratulations to winners of our Benchmark Competitions: Penshurst West for winning the 16A Premiership and Illawarra Catholic Club for securing the First Grade trophy for the ninth time in eleven seasons. More thanks must go Tom Davies, who in his role of Publicity Officer, ensured that the web page was kept up to date in terms of the points score and publicity results. This season, both Tom and myself, continued to work hard on the website and we must thank all the clubs who took on the challenge of putting the results on the website every week. This year we established a Facebook page to help disseminate information and we are looking at establishing a Twitter account for the upcoming season. While we were unsuccessful at a representative level this season, this could not be the case of our cricket partners, St George DCC. The Club managed three flags, including the Club Championship, 1st Grade and 4th Grade, while runners up in 5th Grade. What is pleasing is the large number of local juniors who contributed to all these successes. This was also seen with the Green Shield team where every player was a local junior from our Association. This team made the playoffs for the second year in a row. We offer our congratulations to Executive Officer, Jon Jobson and President, Kevin Greene, for their continued support and interest. Thanks must also go to the Umpires League and their executive. While our umpire numbers on a weekly basis are not strong, the support provided to us during the representative season is outstanding. I thank President Roger Spindler, Secretary Roger Ridway, Appointments Officer Ron Ryan and Delegate Graeme Fleming for their work. Again this season, we partnered with the Sydney 6’ers in BBL2. With former juniors Moises Henriques and Kurtis Patterson in their team, it was a good fit for us. While they won the World Championship it wasn’t a good local season for the team in “Mengenta”. Thanks go to their administration for their support, which included a little monetary value and tickets to home games. Finally, the Association thanks our sponsors: Kingsgrove Sports Store, A.G. Thompson’s (Kookaburra), Club Rivers, The Maso’s Club, Club Central, Oatley Hotel, Punchbowl Bus Company, Veolia Transport, Bresnahan’s Butchers and the St George Bank. Without their support we would not be able to provide a representative program that is of no cost to the participants as well as manageable registration, playing and administration costs. Please support our sponsors as much as they support us. Of course, the three major sponsors of the Association are the councils: Hurstville City Council, Kogarah City Council and Rockdale City Council.

  • Sussex CCC Vs Australia a Tourist Match Arundel Castle Cricket Ground, Arundel Sunday 7Th – Wednesday 11Th July 2019
    Sussex CCC vs Australia A Tourist Match Arundel Castle Cricket Ground, Arundel Sunday 7th – Wednesday 11th July 2019 Day One Late bursts from James Pattinson and Michael Neser seized the initiative for Australia 'A' on the first day of their first-class match against Sussex at Arundel Castle. Sussex won the toss and batted after persistent drizzle prevented play from starting until just after 3.30pm. The home side made a positive start with Phil Salt (37) and Varun Chopra (30) putting on an opening stand of 69 inside 14 overs. After the pair departed to Jackson Bird and Pattinson in consecutive overs, Luke Wells and Laurie Evans then combined to take Sussex to 112 for 2 with six overs of the day remaining. What had looked like being a solid start to the match was rocked, however, with three wickets falling for just six runs. First, Neser nipped one past Evans' outside edge and knocked back his off stump. Three overs later and Pattinson - with 70 wickets in 17 Test matches behind him - beat Wells between bat and pad with the same end result. Sussex debutant, Aneesh Kapil then fended a rising Pattinson delivery to Marcus Harry in the gully, leaving Delray Rawlins and nightwatchman to see their side through to the close on 118 for 5. Day Two Delray Rawlins made the fourth century of his first-class career before Australia 'A' made Sussex's bowlers toil on day two of the tourist match at Arundel Castle. Resuming on his overnight score of five not out, Rawlins' knock was a classy affair, made all the more impressive by the fact it was scored against an Australian bowling attack boasting 277 Test match wickets.

  • Thank You 2020 Annual Report
    Thank You 2020 Annual Report 1 Our mission is simple. A message from our Board President and Executive Director Dear Friends, Needless to say, 2020 was dominated by the multitude of challenges presented by the COVID-19 pandemic. With your help, however, Save The Bay stayed the course through a turbulent year. On a personal and professional level, every member of our team had to adjust suddenly to a radically new environment, but the constraints we faced in 2020 did not prevent us from achieving important progress. Our education team pivoted quickly to create an interactive, remote learning experience called “Breakfast by The Bay.” Over the course of last spring and summer, our educators created a rich library of educational materials for children, parents and teachers, and refined our teaching skills to accommodate distance learning. We have continued to adapt our education programs to meet the needs of our educational partners in this most unusual year. From an advocacy perspective, we continued interacting with partners, regulatory agencies and the scientific community. Our team advanced restoration of freshwater wetlands systems, river systems and salt marshes. We helped Bay communities to plan, implement and secure financing for climate adaptation projects. The advocacy team also remained vigilant, monitoring development projects and helping prevent major loss of freshwater wetlands in Tiverton, while continuing to promote public access and working with Southside Providence community partners to build momentum for a new public access point along the Providence waterfront. In the spirit of making lemonade out of lemons, we also made the most of the forced closure of our facilities, public programs and events.

  • Leach Takes Three Wickets but Australia XI Build Strong Lead Against England Lions
    Jack Leach celebrates with Sam Hain and James Bracey Jul 16, 2019 19:36 BST Leach takes three wickets but Australia XI build strong lead against England Lions SCORECARD: https://www.ecb.co.uk/matches/10411 England Lions trail the Australia XI by 353 runs going into the final day at Canterbury after a day of mixed fortunes. The first hour of day three was almost a carbon copy of the same period on day two. This time, though, it was England who lost quick wickets to bring their innings to a close, 130 behind the tourists. Lewis Gregory and Jack Leach went for ducks, while Sam Curran reached 50 and then got out stumped to spinner Jon Holland. And Jamie Porter was the last to fall, lbw to Chris Tremain. Porter delivered with the ball early on though, having Joe Burns caught in the slips by Sam Hain. Marcus Harris and Kurtis Patterson added 73 before Harris gave Somerset spinner Leach his first wicket of the match, chipping the ball up to Dom Sibley. Leach then dismissed Patterson in his next over thanks to a smart catch from Ollie Robinson at slip. Robinson also picked up his first wicket of the match, and first for the Lions, trapping Mitchell Marsh in front for 26. Test captain Tim Paine batted patiently for 38, only to then get a leading edge to Leach, which took an eternity to come down into the bowler’s hands, bringing reward for bowling unchanged for the entire evening session. Matthew Wade, who scored a century in the first innings, retired hurt over the tea interval having taken a blow on the elbow from Lewis Gregory.

  • Rounds 1 and 2 Edition Welcome to the New
    Rounds 1 and 2 Edition Welcome to the new 2020-21 season, albeit a little different to the “Norm”. Due to the Covid situation only our 1st and 2nd Grade teams were able to start in the final week in September. The rest start at the end of this Oct. It’s a big year for the club as we begin our Centenary celebrations for First Grade. 100 years of First Grade Cricket for the most successful club in the NSW Premier Cricket competition. Let’s hope our lads can have a great season although luck has well and truly been against them so far. In the meantime we’ll keep you posted on all the celebration activities we have planned over the next 18 months. Once again we take the opportunity to thank all of you for your support, particularly our sponsors. If you haven’t already signed up to become a member for this season, you can do so online - https://st-george-district-cricket-club.square.site/ The idea of this newsletter is to keep our supporters and sponsors up to date with how our teams performed in each round so let’s get on to it. FIRST GRADE Our Firsts trained the house down in the off season in preparation for a good start to the season. However the team lost the hugely talented batsman Blake Nikitaris just prior to the season starter with a serious knee injury which sadly looks like it may see Blake out for the whole season. Round 1 saw the boys taking on a strong Penrith unit at Penrith with the Saints batting first in a 50 over one dayer.
