All the competitions were hard fought in both seniors and juniors. Congratulations to all the Premiership winning teams and all the individual trophy winners. The running of our association is not possible without the tireless efforts of the Senior Management Committee and I would like to thank the Executive Committee and all the club representatives for their time. Unfortunately not all clubs understand the importance of sending a representative to our monthly meetings and as in previous seasons, these clubs are the ones we have problems with. Could all the clubs look seriously at this situation and have a representative at all the SMC meetings next season. Again this year I received tremendous support from the Executive and pay particular tribute to Bill Bartley as Vice President (Seniors) and Chairperson of the Grading Committee, Tania Coull as Vice President (Juniors) and Representative Secretary, Peter Harris for his sterling work as Secretary, John Hopper as Association Treasurer and Alan Smith as Recorder and looking after our web site. Thanks also to Mark Van der Reyden for his efforts organising the draw. Well done to all our juniors selected in the Emerging Blues sides and to those who were selected to try out. Congratulations to all our representative players for the way they conducted themselves and their efforts during the season. Unfortunately our sides were not as successful as previous years and the Executive was asked for suggestions on improving this situation. Our junior competitions require an overhaul, especially the under 10s, and hopefully this can be completed before the start of next season. Peter Harris and I spent an evening with Andrew Sadleir to discuss options to improve our standings and improve junior cricket in our district. A proposal was produced and distributed to all the clubs, with a request for suggestions and opinions. It was a chance to make changes to bring our district back into line with the majority of districts we compete against. Unfortunately only two clubs in the district felt obliged to consider the proposal and send in any opinions. Hawkesbury Grade Club and Hawkesbury Sports Council must also be thanked for allowing us to use Bensons Lane again for our Finals as this is the perfect complex to host them. Appreciation also to the Hawkesbury District Umpires Association for the thankless job they do every Saturday and Sunday. I would especially like to thank Peter Harris for his valued contribution and support over the past years as he is retiring at the AGM due to excessive work commitments. I have valued his friendship and advice during his tenure. I also will be retiring from the committee at this years AGM as work commitments are increasingly encroaching upon the time I have available to perform my duties as President. I’d like to take this opportunity to thank all the people who I have worked with over the past 10 years and forgive me if I have omitted anyone but I am suffering from old-timers lately. I wish all the best to Hawkesbury District and will watch its progress closely over the coming years with enthusiasm. Yours in cricket. Peter Seagrott President 5 111th Annual Report It is pleasure that I present the 111th Annual Report of the Hawkesbury Cricket Association Incorporated. The season under review saw 44 senior and 34 junior sides commence the season. The steady number of players is encouraging for the growth of cricket in the Hawkesbury. Under 10 Average Cricket The HDCA has now completed its 4th season of averages cricket for the Under 10’s. Whilst the initiatives behind this concept have held secure, the question is now being asked if that the averages cricket prepare players for the rigors of district cricket and commences the skills range required to compete and specialize in specific aspects of the game. A review of the rules of Under 10’s cricket is currently being undertaken. Cap Presentations During the season, representative players were presented with their Hawkesbury caps and playing gear at special ceremonies. The HDCA thanks Hawkesbury Cricket Club for making several grade players available to attend these events. First Grade Freeman’s Reach won the First grade competition, repeating last year’s effort; however the competion was combined between 1st and 2nd grade teams for the first time. Publicity Our sincere thanks to all the Staff at the Hawkesbury Gazette for their great coverage of cricket in the Hawkesbury. A special mention to the sports editor Brendon Rhodes for his fantastic efforts in collating all the information every week and for participating as a player, competing each week for his adopted club of North Richmond. Refurbishment of trophies. As a commitment to our heritage The HDCA is continuing on a program of refurbishing of perpetual trophies. This task is ongoing and our thanks are extended to Richmond trophies for their expertise and skill in ensuring that this process is actioned in a professional manner. Jack Chegwyn MBE The Chegwyn Medal for the First grade best and fairest player has been held over due to the combining of first and second grade sides in season 2008 - 9 Appreciation Sincere thanks are passed on to the following people not mentioned elsewhere
