2018 – 2019 : 161st Season

1. NEW ZEALAND – BLACK CAPS – 2018/19 & ICC 2019 The Club was honoured to have two members selected to represent New Zealand in the past 12 months. WER (WILL) SOMERVILLE and LH (LOCKIE) FERGUSON

Will and Lockie – both for Parnell Will, a dream Test debut 7/127 (4/75 & 3/52) and Test won Lockie, 21 wickets at 19.47 in the ICC CWC And Lockie selected for the WORLD XI, ICC CWC 2019

WILL SOMERVILLE Born in 1984, Will, an off spinner, made his 1st Class debut for in 2004/05 for whom he represented till 2007/08. Then, whilst in , for NSW from 2014 to 2018. Will returned to NZ later last year, accepted a contract with ACA and joined Parnell. Selected for the Black Caps’ series vs in the UAE in December, he took, in the 3rd Test on debut, 7/127 (4/75 and 3/52). This enabled NZ to win the Test by 123 runs and so take out the series. Will’s apparences for Parnell were limited but he did well for and was awarded Cricketer of the Year – the John Bentham Morris Memorial Trophy, the first Parnell player to be so honoured since in 1978/79. Another Test for Will?

LOCKIE FERGUSON Every boy’s dream is to be the fastest bowler in the World and our Lockie has achieved that dream! New Zealand’s and, perhaps, the World’s fastest Bowler, Lockie grew up at Parnell, first as a Junior and, later, represented EDCA. For Auckland Grammar’s 1st XI he shared the new ball with Jimmy Neesham. He played for Cornwall in his late teens and for a couple of season after leaving Grammar but returned in 2011 to spearhead our attack with Mike Ravlic. Lockie debuted for Auckland in 2012/13 and for New Zealand, in ODIs, in 2016/17. Now 28, Lockie’s pace is fearsome – he has been clocked at 155kph and, prior to the ICC CWC19, was averaging 146 with the next fastest under 142. At the CWC, his 21 wickets were second only to ’s and he played one less game. Lockie’s economy and strike rates of 4.88 and 12.66 were better than Starc’s 5.43 and 20.51. His of du Plessis in the South African game was classic – a 149k bouncer followed by a 148k , the batsman, completely beaten by pace, had his stumps shattered! Yes, the fast bowler’s dream!

Ben continued to ‘keep wickets outstandingly in the Plunket Shield and Ford Trophy games and it is only time before his develops into a real force for the Aces.

NOW TO EDEN PARK FOR THE JEFF CROWE CUP FINAL – Parnell vs Suburbs New Lynn:

12. CHAIRMAN’S REPORT

The 2018/19 financial year and cricket season was another successful one for PCC as it seeks to become (or otherwise remain) the leading cricket club across the Auckland region, as stated in the Club’s 3-year Strategic Plan. I summarise the year as follows:

1. Overview The 2018/19 season started with junior playing numbers down after the Club had achieved a 19% increase the previous 3 seasons. However, one junior girls’ team had transitioned to senior status, plus with the arrival of a further men’s senior team this meant that overall, juniors and seniors, the status quo in playing numbers was maintained at almost 900.

The Club had two players chosen for the BLACKCAPS during the season - Lockie Ferguson and Will Somerville - while two others represented the Auckland Aces consistently over the summer - Ben Horne and Mark Chapman. Will Somerville was further honoured by being awarded Auckland Cricket’s “Player of the Year”.

Our Men’s Premier team won the Jeff Crowe Cup (50 over cricket) in a thrilling final at Eden Park, the 3rd time PCC has won this trophy since 2009/10. The re-emergence of women’s cricket within PCC continued successfully with the completion of our second season back in ACA’s Premier and Premier Reserve competitions after a 7-year gap, our Reserves winning the ACA one-day title, another very pleasing .

In addition to the above our Men’s Premier team finished in the top 4 of the Hedley Howarth Trophy (2 day cricket), our Men’s 2nd XI came 3rd equal and 4th from 8 teams in their respective competitions, our 3rd XI won its 2-day competition resulting in promotion to a higher grade for next season, and our 4th XI came midway on their competition points table.

Our Junior rep results were also very pleasing with representation at EDCA level up on prior seasons with 48 PCC rep players chosen in total making up 40% of EDCA’s total numbers across all 7 grades (boys and girls).

Our financial results were a little disappointing with a small loss of $5,562 being recorded, our first loss since 2012/13. Revenue was down by $13,281 on the prior year due to reduced junior subscriptions, reduced trust grant funding and donations, while fewer junior members undertook our Winter Academy and Cricket Max tournament. ACA affiliation fees increased by $3,670 and staff costs included the full year for our Director of Cricket while the prior year included only 10 months of his employment as he started with us early July 2017. In addition a new position was created in December with Alex Smith as paid barman which contributed to increased costs however operationally Alex was a very welcome addition. In terms of cash the Club has $125,576 in its bank accounts (current and fixed term deposits) at balance date.

PCC’s performance in meeting a range of targets as set by ACA in our Partnership Agreement with them was very good with 90% of targets met and one of the leading clubs across the Auckland region involving 16 clubs.

Volunteer relations were positive overall, this reflective of the efforts and experience of our Junior Committee, Junior Grade Co-ordinators, and Board.

Finally, the Club benefitted from the services of its Director of Cricket () in his second full season with us, ably supported by Steve Hurdley as Club Administrator in his 10th consecutive year with us.

2. Junior Playing Results ACA titles won (from Grade 6 to Grade 9/10):  Grade 6 Premier Championship (Parnell Hadlee)  Grade 7 Mid-week Championship, (Parnell Maroon)  Under 14 Club of Origin (Parnell Horne)

ACA District Tournaments In terms of Auckland Districts junior rep cricket EDCA came a very close second to North Harbour in competing for the Peter Badley Shield across all 7 grades, this contested across the 5 Districts that make up the Auckland region. EDCA was expertly led by PCC’s James Dudson as Chairman while the quality of coaching and general administration remained at a very high level.

Annual junior rep fixtures against neighbouring clubs (Years 3 to 7): v. Grafton United CC Nov 2018 6 wins, 4 losses v. Auckland University CC Dec 2018 10 wins, 5 losses v. Howick Pakuranga CC Feb 2019 8 wins, 3 losses v. Cornwall CC Mar 2019 4 wins, 9 losses 13. The Club took part in the inaugural J T Sparling Super Series over the summer against the above 4 clubs, finishing a close third overall behind University and Cornwall CC - please refer to our Junior Chairman’s Report for more details. These impressive results are also reflective of the quality and quantity of the Club’s professional coaching. PCC was able to secure the following trophies within the JTS Super Series: Grades 3A, 5A, 6A and 8A, all 4 handsome trophies now on display in our clubrooms.

I would like to thank the following people for their contributions over the year:  Jeremy Boucher for his strong commitment and efforts as Junior Chairman, now in having completed his 3rd year in this important role.  All volunteers who give up their time to see the Club and their team(s) enjoy a happy and successful season.  All Grade Coordinators (Year 1 to Year 9/10) and Members of the Junior Committee.  James Dudson and Jon Tierney for their respective roles in representing PCC on the ECDA Committee, selecting EDCA teams, appointing coaches, arranging winter trainings, and ensuring EDCA performed well across the range of ACA District tournaments (boys and girls).

Senior Playing Results: ACA titles won (as noted on pages 6,7and 8):  Men’s Premier: Jeff Crowe Cup, 50 over competition  Women’s Premier Reserves: 1-day competition, post Xmas  Men’s 3rd XI: 2-day competition and overall championship  One Day and T20 Teams: Super Eagles, Hawks, Soldiers, Pounders , Presidents  Under 23: Pre-Xmas 1-day competition

Apart from winning the Jeff Crowe Cup our Premier Men’s team finished in 4th place from the top 8 teams in the ACA Hedley Howarth 2-day competition, while being knocked out of the T20 competition in the quarter finals. The team performed admirably once again and was a credit to the Club, always playing within the spirit of cricket under the inspirational captaincy of Brad Rodden and coaching of Ian West, both in their first year at PCC with their respective roles. Brad went on to win the Auckland Cricket Umpires and Scorers Association’s vote for Premier Captain of the Year, a testament to his strong leadership while always promoting fair play.

This team also won the Grosvenor Cup for the third time in four years, this trophy also awarded by ACA’s senior umpires for such team and club attributes as discipline, fair play, dress code, scoring, hosting and lunches. Winning this award was also a result of the efforts of John Fisher (Team Manager), Jocelyn Goodger (Scorer), Phil Horne and Bryan Haggitt.

As mentioned, our Men's 2nd, 3rd and 4th XI’s all performed admirably with the 3rd XI promoted to a higher grade for next season, the following contributing significantly to the coaching, management and leadership of these teams:  Seconds (Premier Reserves): Will Ormiston (captain) and Roy Goodyear (coach/manager)  Thirds: Elliot Jaffe (captain) and Peter Hickman (manager) and Fourths: James Partridge (captain)

The Club’s President’s Grade team continued to compete strongly in this very successful and popular competition, flying the Club’s flag and good name with pride while producing a strong camaraderie over recent years. The team won the President’s Grade Plate Competition.

I would like to thank Peter Hickman (Club Captain) for his untiring efforts in welcoming newcomers to the Club, keeping tabs on the availability of players, aiding in the team selections process each week and managing the Club communication network via Facebook across the season. In addition I would also like to thank the small group of the Men’s Premier team supporters for their very loyal following of the team across the season: Phil Horne, Bryan Haggitt, Craig Speakman and Marc O’Gorman come to mind along with many of the respective parents and supporters of the players.

3. Female Cricket: The Club competed for the second year running in ACA’s Women’s Premier and Premier Reserve competitions, a tribute to the determination and focus of PCC director Dominic Drumm ably supported by Jonathan McInroy and Shannon Carr (coaches), Stephanie Carr (captain/player coach), Gemma Lord (Premier XI manager). A highlight was seeing our Premier Reserve team win the Emily Drumm Trophy and be crowned as ACA one day competition champions.

PCC remains very committed towards the development and growth of girl’s / women’s cricket and we are well placed to take advantage of the new strategic direction of NZ Cricket in also focussing strongly on female participation and high performance in the sport. Please refer to Dominic’s report for more details.

The following female players won representative honours across the season: Auckland Under 15’s Emma and Kate Irwin Auckland Under 21’s Yaz Khareem

4. Senior Representation The following men’s senior players won representative honours over the season:  New Zealand – Black Caps Lockie Ferguson and Will Somerville  Auckland Aces Lockie Ferguson, Will Somerville Mark Chapman and Ben Horne  Auckland A Ollie Pringle, Aniket Parikh  Auckland U19 Harry Miller (captain)  Auckland U17 Nathan Robinson (captain), Dinesh Kharel and Nikith Perera

14. 5. PCC Board of Directors The 2018/19 year saw a continuation of the same Board that was in place during the prior year. In addition, Rod Smith has remained as PCC President over 2018/19, a role which he has held since 2014 while also being Club Chairman for 8 seasons prior to that. Rod has attended our Board meetings upon the invitation of the Chairman, as has Bryan Haggitt (Life Member). Respective Board roles have been as follows:

 Chairman Craig Presland  Junior Chairman Jeremy Boucher  Senior Men’s Chairman Simon Wood (until February 2019), replaced by Craig Speakman  Honorary Secretary Craig Speakman  Honorary Treasurer Greg James  Women’s Cricket Dominic Drumm

In addition, Kelly Baxter attended all Board meetings over the financial year as an observer. Board meetings covered 10 work -streams, these as follows along with respective responsibilities for each: 1. On field performance: Craig P, Simon, Jeremy 2. Facilities and Grounds: Rod, Bryan, Craig P 3. Sponsorship: Greg, Craig P 4. Marketing: Dominic 5. Finance: Greg, Craig S 6. Planning: Craig P, Craig S 7. Coaching: Greg, Simon, Jeremy 8. Schools: Dominic 9. Female Cricket: Dominic 10. Volunteer Relations: Jeremy, Dominic, Craig P

Our Director of Cricket, Phil Horne and Club Administrator, Steve Hurdley, have had active roles to play across on all 10 workstreams. Phil has attended all Board meetings.

I would like to thank PCC’s hard-working Board, Rod, Kelly, Bryan, Phil and Steve for their dedicated efforts and commitment, and absolute passion for PCC and the game itself over the past 12 months. The level of knowledge and experience, as well as ability and willingness to roll their sleeves up and makes things happen, has been impressive.

From this year’s AGM we have decided to increase the size of our Board from 6 to 7 members in order to achieve better representation from women’s cricket while we have 2 vacancies to fill following the resignations of Simon Wood back in February 2019 and Dominic Drumm at this years’ AGM. Our Board recommends that the following new Board members be appointed at this year’s AGM:

 Kelly Baxter  Gemma Lord (Female Cricket)  Peter Hickman (Senior Men’s Chairman)

6. Strategic Plan, 1st August 2016 to 31st July 2019 In July 2016 our Board, Rod, Bryan and Steve agreed upon a 3-year Strategic Plan after conducting a SWOT analysis across each of the above 10 workstreams as well as seeking feedback from Club Members. As part of this 3-year plan we have set priorities for our resources (time and $ funds), while this plan has been summarized as a one-page document that sits on display in our clubrooms during the season. We will be reviewing this plan and updating it for the next 3 years in August / September once our 3 new directors are on board.

7. Financial Results Our financial results were a little disappointing with a small loss of $5,562 being recorded, our first loss since 2012/13, the main reasons covered above. In terms of cash the Club has over $125,576 in its bank accounts (current and fixed term deposits) at balance date, this around $6,000 down on prior year.

Capital expenditure included new bowlers ups laid in the TJC last winter.

The Club was prudent in its spending throughout the financial year while capital expenditure was targeted at areas of need, some of this covered by The Peter Badley Trust. PCC invested 30% of its revenues directly into coaching and another 32% into administration, both resulting in a high level of service and value provided to our playing members, parents and volunteers while our subscriptions have remained competitive with neighbouring clubs.

Our collection of subscriptions, TJC hiring fees, bar takings and event revenues has been diligent.

8. Sponsorship PCC remains very grateful for the support from its key commercial partners in Ascot Radiology, Player Sports and Megan Jaffe Real Estate (Ray White Remuera). A big thanks to these local businesses for their valued and ongoing contributions which enable the club to provide its high level of coaching and support for its players. We could not provide the same cricket experience for our Members without this funding. Ascot Radiology, in particular, has been very loyal to PCC since 2011/12 and we have so much to thank this organisation for.

15. Other sponsors supporting PCC over 2018/19 were: Brittain Wynyard, Crowe Horwarth, Kumeu River Wines, OMF, Electrix Ltd and Unichem, Mt Eden Chiropractic, The Corner Bar, Sals Pizza, Tasty Pot.

9. Schools We have worked hard to strengthen our relationship with all schools in our catchment including the addition of signed Memorandum’s of Understanding with each school outlining the respective commitments, scope of coaching services that PCC provides, use of respective facilities etc. Of particular note would be the close association which the Club has with St Kentigern Boys School through the efforts of Jonathan McInroy as one of PCC’s professional coaches, and Mr Grayson Aspinall, Deputy Head of the school, along with St Peters College via link we have with Simon Wood. King’s School, too, is closely associated with PCC. Phil Horne has worked hard on building relationships with each school along with providing effective coaching as part of ACA’s Cricket Blitz Program.

10. Coaching Ian West became PCC’s new Head Coach in May 2018 and proved to be a popular, hard-working and successful appointment for the Club. The remainder of our coaching staff included Roy Goodyear, Jonathan McInroy, Cam Rope, Ollie Pringle and three capable young English player / coaches in Jack Crace, Hugh Teesdale and Jack Marston. All 8 coaches listed proved to be effective and well-respected across our senior and junior players, parents, volunteers and supporters.

11. Facilities PCC is planning to upgrade its existing pavilion by adding a bar, women’s and men’s toilets, and an outside deck (at ground level), this project in conjunction with Grammar Juniors Rugby. Greg James is currently leading this project.

In terms of the development of the Shore Rd Reserve itself, PCC is now considering the option of significant land reclamation across the area essentially taken up by mangroves on the edge of Hobson Bay. We have been in discussion with the Orakei Local Board, Auckland Council, Ngati Whatua and several environmental and town planning consultants on this long-term project which would see a new full-sized cricket oval being added with our proposed new pavilion overlooking it and facing to the north.

12. Final Thanks Finally, I would like to thank Phil Horne for his outstanding contribution to the club in his second year as Director of Cricket overseeing the entire operations of the club. Phil has been ably supported by our Club Administrator, Steve Hurdley, over 9 months of the financial year - Steve now in his 10th year with the club. The 2018/19 season was a challenging one across junior cricket in particular with the Age and Stage project being driven by NZC / ACA resulting in changed playing formats, match rules and strategies in a quest to modernise the game for our younger players. Phil and Steve led the way with this implementation combining well together and communicating with our playing members, parents and volunteers effectively throughout.

I am confident that PCC is one of the best administered cricket clubs across the Auckland region if not nationally. Well done Phil and Steve.

We look forward to the season ahead!

16. WOMEN’S CRICKET

The 2018/19 season was another ground-breaking one for Parnell Women’s Cricket with the second year of participation in the Premier Women’s and Reserves grades in recent history. The Premier Women’s team continued to fight hard andsecured early victories performing better in the longer form of the game.

The Premier Womens Reserves dominated most teams ending up 1st equal in the T20 Competition only separated by NRR and won the final of the 35 Over Competition by comprehensively beating Cornwall at Cornwall Park. The future is in good heart for Women’s cricket at Parnell with many other clubs starting to take notice at the type of cricketers that the club is continuing to produce. The Junior Girls section continues to compete well with a young Under 13 team along with 2 Under 11 Softball teams playing at Melville Park. The softball teams are a result of strong work carried out by Phil Horne and Sally Woodfield along with the array of top Parnell Cricket coaches that visit our catchment schools throughout the season.

Female cricket is well established now at Parnell from young girls in mixed teams right through to Premier Women’s Grade. This provides a real pathway for our girls to enjoy playing the game for as long as they want at Parnell and to be the best cricketers they can be and to reach representative level. The club is looking forward to becoming a genuine powerhouse in all the major grades of female cricket in Auckland and to providing a great experience in the sport that we know and love. Thanks must go to the support provided by the Parnell CC Board in promoting diversity and inclusion across the club and working hard to make Parnell Cricket Club truly representative of the immediate community.

17. JONATHAN McINROY MOVES ON

For close to 10 years Jonathan has been an integral part of Parnell’s coaching team. Taking Winter Academy groups, one on one sessions, away with teams in the Hawkes Bay over the summer break, coach of some very successful EDCA Age Group teams and, most recently, coaching our Women’s Premier Team. In particular, Jonathan worked well in promoting cricket and coaching at Saint Kentigern School assisting Grayson Aspinall and Duncan Grant. Also, Jonathan coached at Baradene College assisting, in particular, the 1st XI to gain dominance in Auckland girls’ cricket.

Whilst we will still see Jonathan at the TJC from time to time – he is still coaching part time – he has moved on to more secure employment and we wish him well in his new endeavours.

WELCOME TO – OUR NEW PREMIER WOMEN’S COACH

OBITUARIES

DAVID JAMES GORDON 1944 – 2019

Whilst not a member of Parnell, the Club has a great deal to thank Dave Gordon for. As a Master, and Coach of ’s 1st XI for many years, Dave developed a great number of very promising Parnell Juniors into very talented cricketers. Many came back to our Senior ranks to perform marvellously for us – Tim McIntosh, Brad and Doug Winger, Mark and Ryan Turner, David Goddard, Lockie Ferguson, Kirk Bunting to name just a few. Dave Gordon would come down to Shore Road to see them play. Jimmy Neesham didn’t return to Parnell but his tweet sums it up:

“Dave Gordon, my High School teacher, coach and friend. Your love of this game was infectious, especially for those of us lucky enough to play under you. How appropriate you held on until just after such a match. Hope you were proud. Thanks for everything. RIP”

Yes, Jimmy said it all. Since reinforced by Tim McIntosh who told your Editor that Dave, particularly, ran tough sessions for the youngsters at Grammar – tough, yes, but his fairness and encouragement gained him huge respect

Apparently Dave Gordon died, with his family present, whilst watching the ICC CWC’s Super Over aware that two of his protegees, Lockie and Jimmy, were playing out of their skins for the Black Caps.

The Club extends it’s condolences to the Gordon family

18. R.B.L. (Richard) KERR

It is with sadness to report the sudden passing of Richard Kerr who played for the Club as a junior and went on to play for our Premiers during our Ōrākei Domain years.

Teammates Chris Turner and Peter Speakman both recalled Rich. Chris wrote:

“I recall that he was a very enthusiastic trainer. He would be at all the practices and always back to the bar for a beer afterwards. If there were any hijinks or banter Richard would be in the thick of it. Latterly, I saw him most years at a cricket test somewhere or other in NZ. He would have a massive hat on, zinc-ed up to the max, with a bright shirt on and a wide grin.”

Peter who was our Senior A (Reserves) captain recalled “First and foremost Rich was someone who enjoyed his cricket and tried his absolute hardest. No matter how trying the conditions (heat, slow pitch at Ōrākei, poor umpiring, poor fielding), Rich kept coming in ball after ball eager to take wickets, create pressure on the batsman and bowl as fast as he could. He was the same in the nets. In this sense he was a captain's dream. Captaincy material on the other hand, he was not. Rich was archetypal of a fast bowler - being vocal towards opposing batsmen whom he made play and miss and towards fielders who dropped catches off him were all part of his strong competitive spirit and evident each time he played. Those features were what made him the excellent cricketer he was.

Two performances stand out, one with the ball and one with the bat (he was a useful bat, around number 8 but it was as a bowler that he really excelled, and he was a very good opening downwind bowler).

The first was a bowling return of 6-40 down at Ōrākei on a flat track. I bowled him unchanged and he just kept charging in from the city end bowling fast. It was the best exhibition of I witnessed by anyone I played with. Batsmen were hurried with their shots, hit and stunned. This set up a win for us against Birkenhead and made us title challengers.

The second was a quickfire of 33 against Eden Roskill at Keith Hay Park, playing for senior A. Chris Turner had smacked 70 odd in the first innings and an 80 odd in the second with his exquisite cover drives and long reach. Those innings put us in the game with a chance at an outright win, but we still needed quick runs. Yours truly got a few but couldn't up the run rate enough, a fell and in walked Rich to join me with about 50 needed in 5 or 6 overs. Rich always had a good eye and lots of shots, coupled with very ordinary shot selection. This was one of those days that his shots came off. His innings won the game for us against fancied opposition, set up first by Chris T.

I also played golf with Rich a few times, he was on a 14 handicap then-pretty handy and with a Phil Mickelson attitude of going for gold whatever the odds.

Rich was a good friend and I will always remember him that way.” Rich playing Premiers between 1986/87 to 1990/91 scored 133 runs at 14.78 and took 18 wickets at 32.78. For all senior grades Rich scored 611 runs with a highest score of 54 not out and took 101 wickets with a best of 6/40. He also took a hat trick.

Rich also picked up the R C Schnauer Trophy while playing in the junior grades and the F E Hemmingson Cup in the senior section.

Rich was a grandson of former NZ Captain .

The Club extends best wishes to all his family.

Craig Speakman with Chris Turner, Peter Speakman and Matt McMillin

19. BRIAN NEAL 1930 – 2018

Brian Neal came to Auckland, and Parnell CC, in 1961. Previously, along with all of his 5 brothers, Brian had played representative cricket and rugby for Marlborough. A quite remarkable sporting family, his nephews, Ross and David, carried on that tradition of dual representation for that province.

Tall, Brian was an aggressive fast medium bowler of the old NZ school. He had played cricket and regularly for Marlborough against Nelson and other Minor Associations – tough competition, especially from Nelson!

1961/62 - District cricket in Auckland in those days. Brian played for Eastern 2nds, a strong team of former Senior hands (stalwarts Peter Elliot, EK Smith, Frank Fenton) and the promising Ross Edwards (his later Test figures for Australia, 1171 runs at 40.37, considerably better than for our 2nds that season – 232 at 25.77). Brian then added his experience. Bowling – Brian’s 131.1 o 37m 348r 27w 12.88 ave placed him 3rd in the averages – behind John McGregor, 9 wickets at 11.22 and Jim McLean, 32 at 12.00 and ahead of Peter Elliot, 27 at 13.77, EK Smith 27 at 15.80, Dave Whiting 13 at 16.31 and Rex Tisch, 10 at 16.31. The Team finished 2nd in the Championship – all 2 day games in those days.

Brian didn’t turn out for us again – he moved out west to set up an orchard but then played a very considerable part in the development of cricket in those parts and Auckland in general. I hand over to Mike Simpson to add further:

“Brian had a background in orcharding through family property in Marlborough. The Neals moved to an orchard in Trigg Rd in Kumeu in the sixties and commenced a 50 year association with the Kumeu Cricket Club – where he initially played and then held nearly all positions from Groundsman to President to Life Member He was a driving force in Kumeu Cricket’s rise to top level in Auckland and, eventually became the Club’s President and a Life Member Brian also became heavily involved with Auckland Cricket – as Kumeu’s delegate on the ACA’s Board of Control between 1980 and 1991 and was Deputy Chairman for five years. Brian was a cricket enthusiast who remembered his Parnell days with fondness whenever one spoke with him”

Bryan Haggitt and Mike Simpson

ELAINE SIMPSON and MICHELLE SIMPSON

Late last year double tragedy struck our Patron Mike Simpson. Not only did his wife Elaine die just as she seemed to be recovering from a long illness but his daughter, Michelle, only days later, was lost and, eventually, found dead.

A very close family, Craig Speakman reflects: “Elaine always had Michelle in tow, they were inseparable. They both always had a smile, regularly ‘popped in’ to watch (It was an hour drive each way). Elaine knew all the players and could always answer the cry ‘bowlers name’. I have known many cricketers who stopped playing when they had children because it was too hard, despite living 5 minutes away, having both sets of mums and dad’s nearby, and other family members close. Mike and Elaine, on the other hand, were an hour away, had no parents nearby, no family members close. Yet Mike still came to cricket, served in every role possible in the Club, coached his sons’ teams, served on the Board of Auckland Cricket, a huge time commitment. Yet Elaine and Michelle still turned up with smiles.”

Echoing Craig’s words, Mike’s wholehearted commitment to Parnell, from the late ‘60s, Eden Park days, the time at Orakei Domain and then, since 2001, at Shore Road, would not have been possible without the complete support of Elaine and, of course, Michelle. Mike, and the rest of your family, our thoughts continue to be with you.

20. WILLIAM ROGER (BILL) PLAYLE 1938 – 2019

Bill batting against Ritchie Benaud – Bruce Pairaudeau non striker, Doug Ford (NSW), ‘keeper For NZ Cricket President’s XI vs Commonwealth XI, March, 1962 – he scored 96* Against an attack of Benaud, , Harold Rhodes and Sonny Ramadhin

Over to Ronald Cardwell of Sydney – author and publisher, and very good friend of Bill’s:

They Called Him Buckets Name the Cricketer: Born in on 1 December 1938 played cricket and captained Auckland Grammar, cricket for Auckland, New Zealand, and along the way Eastern Districts (Orakei and Parnell CCs), Claremont – Cottesloe and Northern District.

Answer: William Rodger Playle. His nickname was ‘buckets’ first given to him in his early days because of the magnificent hands that he possessed. He everything near where he fielded in the gully or short cover. He was again anointed with the name in Australia but for other reasons.

It was this game in , when Playle was in Australia, which saw Bill Playle be anointed for a second time with a nickname. With the first day delayed by rain the scoreboard attendants put up the names of WA’s two openers, Kelly and Payle. It wasn’t long before Terry Jenner spotted the mistake and with all the rain about Payle soon became “Buckets” – and it’s been “Buckets” ever since.

Such is the cricketing journey of a cricketer who represented his country with passion. As a young man of 18 the Auckland batsman was the youngest selected for New Zealand colts against the touring West Indian team in March 1956. The West Indian team was full of talented players. Sobers, Smith and Atkinson shone for the tourists who showed the young colts what cricket was all about. The Gisborne student, he had not yet attended Auckland Grammar, was overcome by the occasion and did not reach double figures in either innings. The fact that the New Zealand selectors name Playle in the side indicated that he was a player of promise.

His talent had earlier been spotted when he was part of a colts’ coaching programme under the guidance of Merv Wallace, the noted Auckland, New Zealand player and coach. Also, in the squad were future Test players John Sparling, Bruce Morrison and Frank Cameron.

After only six games for Auckland Playle was selected for the fourth visit by a New Zealand team in England in 1958. In the trial games prior to the tour Playle had impressed the New Zealand selectors in the final trial game with 48 runs. Under the captaincy of John Reid, the sixteen players and the 19-year-old Playle embarked on the tour.

Playle had a top score of 96 against Leicestershire but found the wet English conditions not to his liking. He made his Test debut at Edgbaston but was unable to display his wide range of stokes in his five tests on tour. His defensive efforts on tour saw him bat for long periods. John Arlott said of the young tourist in the match at Leicestershire ‘His footwork was neat: almost casual to the eye, but never late: his back lift was a model of exaggerated straightness, and the down stroke equally so’. In the third Test at Leeds Playle occupied the crease for three and a quarter hours. Eighteen runs were scored but that was not important. He was seeking to prevent England from winning, only producing one four in his innings. He was defence personified.

Playle returned to New Zealand and set out building on his experiences in England. He had, as have many players, developed a nervous disposition when batting. It was disappointing to Playle that with his gifted stroke play he had to deal with this tendency. He was a superb fielder, with a keen eye and a strong arm. He had boundless energy and when batting exhibited strokes with grace and power. He developed what was described as the ‘Auckland prod’, also known as the forward defensive stroke. It was a shot designed to stop the ball breaching Playle’s defence, nothing else. Unfortunately, he was remembered for his defensive play and not for his attacking strokes. Solid seasons in club and Plunket Shield cricket failed to draw selectors’ attention to Playle’s desire to wear the black cap again. 21. The MCC toured New Zealand in 1958-59 and 1960-61 with an Australian Second X1 visiting in 1960 but there was no call up. Playle was incensed that the New Zealand selectors failed to pick him for the tour to in 1962. He had scored 369 runs at 61.50 in the season and was the leading run getter, bar one in New Zealand.

In March 1962 Playle’s long wait for a return to representative cricket saw him selected in Auckland to play for the President of Council’s X1. The determined Playle top scored with 96 against the calibre of Adcock, Meckiff, Benaud and Ramadhin. The following season England toured and Playle played in all three Tests with a top score in the second innings at . This series was his last wearing a black cap.

In 1963 Eddie Edwards, the former Western Australian batsman, was living in Auckland with his family, which included his son, the future Australian batsman Ross Edwards. Playle developed a close relationship with Edwards and he was being encouraged to move to Perth to play cricket with the prospects of playing for Western Australia, albeit there were no guarantees.

The seed was sown in Playle’s mind and with no likely prospect of further Tests for New Zealand the twenty-six-year-old packed his bags and moved to Perth. With work guaranteed and the opportunity of a new cricket life the outlook was bright.

Playle joined the Claremont – Cottesloe club in Perth at the commencement of the 1965-66 season, the club where the Edwards were associated. The season started well for Playle and he was selected for the tour match against Mike Smith’s 1965-66 English side. The fast wickets and bounce suited Playle’s strokes and he scored well against the Englishmen. The season was a resounding success. He scored 642 runs in 17 innings at an average of 42.62 with a top score of 122 against Queensland at the WACA in January 1966. Western Australia finished second in the Sheffield Shield competition, their best result since 1947-48.

In all he played three seasons for Western Australia scoring 802 runs at 25.87 including two centuries. Marriage followed for Playle and work commitments started to move in on his cricket. He was a significant captain, player and coach at the Claremont Club leading them to a premiership. As a coach and cricket mentor he was highly regarded. There was a move to Sydney with his employer where he found time to play with the Northern District Club where Ross Edwards later joined him when he too relocated to Sydney to work with Kerry Packer.

Following retirement Playle continued in coaching, firstly with the Northern District Cricket Club and then the North Sydney Cricket Club. He was regarded in the manner he worked with young cricketers between 12 and 16 encouraging them in their batting and seeking to instil in them details of the history of the game and where they could go with their cricket if they worked hard and applied themselves with their given talent. As Playle would often lament ‘young players tend not to be as keen as I was when I was coming into the game. There are many opportunities for your people and cricket tends to miss out’.

Business life was not kind to Playle and in later years he struggled. Sydney cricket friends supported him in many ways. His three children did not play sport at any significant level however his daughters’ son has shown batting promise with Bill telling this writer that he has a good ‘Auckland push’.

I saw Bill some 18 months ago in Coffs Harbour. It was in many ways the end of a friendship that wound back to my days in grade cricket in Sydney. I had played against the former NZ Test batsman after he came to Sydney in 1974. The mind was gone, so were the stories. He had always dined out on his 96 in 1958 and I could tell the story to the extent that people could believe that I was at the game. It was no more. The infectious smile was still present, and the hand shake ever so firm. He held my hand for what seemed an eternity, perhaps reflecting on a catch taken many years earlier

Bill Playle died aged 80 at Coffs Harbour, on the NSW mid North Coast, on 27 February 2019. Of those that toured England in 1958 only Reid, Sparling, D’Arcy and Ward now survive.

FOOTNOTE: 1961-62 – Bill had a great comeback season, selected for the NZ Cricket President’s XI vs Ron Robert’s Commonwealth XI at Eden Park, Bill, facing an attack of Ritchie Benaud, Neil Adcock, Sonny Ramadhin and Harold Rhodes, top scored with 96 not out in the 2nd innings. He batted beautifully early but, in the 80s, froze and Skipper John Reid declared 8 down for 301 leaving Bill 6 short of his ton. The Commonwealth XI, set what looked a tough task – 292 to win in 4 hours – scampered home, 8 down but Tom Graveney 112*, with just 3 minutes to spare. 1961-62 Bill Playle played just six 1st Class games and in 11 innings scored 514 runs at 72.85, highest score 116*. Bill came to Auckland Grammar from Gisborne High in 1956. Immediately was appointed a Prefect and Captain of the 1st XI – succeeding John Sparling. And he didn’t disappoint – runs flowed, he joined Orakei CC/Eastern Districts. He made his Auckland 1st Class debut in 1956/57 and against the touring Australian XI Bill made 28 (2nd highest to Johnny Hayes’ 29 after had taken 8/66). Then selected for NZ’s 1958 tour of England – 18 in 194 minutes in the 3rd Test was highly praised as Bill had withstood Laker (46 wickets against the Aussies 2 years previously), Lock, Trueman Loader and Bailey. But his confidence was lost. He joined Parnell (nominal change – still part of Eastern Districts), still a most elegant bat but nothing came as easily as before. A couple of comebacks and a Test 65 but West Australia called.

22. Dr. JUDITH SHIRLEY PRESTON-ANDERSON 27.3.1939 – 10.2.2019

Judith flew the Yorkshire flag high – she came to Auckland from Kingston-upon-Hull many times in our summers and followed the fortunes of Parnell, Auckland and Northern Districts avidly. A member of the Cricket Society, Judith first came to Parnell games to support Nick Hadfield and Richard Steele, out here from her son’s club, Woodhouse Grange.

Coincidentaly, she came upon the fact that some of Parnell’s founders, the Kissling brothers, came from Hull, their parents with the Church Missionary Society and closely associated with William Wilberforce and the movement to abolish slavery. This at a time that Judith was researching that history for the Hull Council in preparation for the celebration of the 200th Jubilee of the Abolition. Judith was in her element - that Parnell CC had this connection to her research was remarkable! Working with her, we learned a great deal more of our first members and the early history of the Parnell CC.

A retired headmistress, Judith made many trips here, to see her sister Lillie and others from Hull, who emigrated to NZ in the 1950s. Her very vocal support of Parnell, Auckland and ND will be greatly missed and our condolences go to Judith’s son and daughter, Simon and Sarah and to her sister, Lillie Fowler and their families.

23. JUNIOR CHAIRMAN’S REPORT

The 2018 – 19 cricket season will be a season remembered both for the magnitude of change in playing formats as well as for the cricket played and it gives me great pleasure to present the Club with my report.

The game we all love continues to evolve at all levels and whilst those in charge at the top end of the game concern themselves with how the formats of Test, ODI and T20 all play out for professionals, we administrators at the grass roots level remain ever focused on participation. Cricket operates in a very competitive environment with tennis, sailing, summer football, touch rugby and perhaps most significantly basketball luring potential cricket players away from our game. In a world where children and parents have so many pressures and demands on their time, playing long format games of cricket – or in fact any cricket - is a concept and a threat that parents can find challenging to embrace. Add to those other sports the peril of boredom whilst playing cricket puts us squarely in a battle for participation that we need to rise to if we are to ensure the future health of the game and the future pipeline of talent for our Club, District and Country.

It is with this in mind that New Zealand Cricket rolled out their innovative age and stage platforms to drive stronger levels of participation into the junior game. The changes rolled out across the country over the course of this season. These changes included: - Fewer players in teams to ensure greater levels of participation - Shorter games with an upper limit of T20 cricket being the norm. Games should have been able to be completed comfortably in 2.5 hrs. - Shorter wickets across most age grade ensuring that bowlers have a stronger chance of keeping the ball in play and hitting the batting strip - Shorter boundaries ensuring that batters have the opportunity to hit more boundaries and perhaps even more sixes. - Fielding restrictions ensuring that no fielder could get close enough to the batters to cut off a quick single. The desire to provide batters with a greater opportunity to run quick singles keeps the game lively and keeps the batters moving. - Lastly the grace period or angel rule so well used in girls cricket for a number of years found its way into boys cricket with good results. For most junior cricketers at any level a zero return with the bat can be a humbling and saddening experience. If multiple zero returns are registered over a period of time, the player can be left with a very bad experience from the game at a stage in their development that might lose them from the game forever. Minimising this risk is to be applauded.

These new playing conditions were met with some positive feedback both through and at the end of the season which we have all enjoyed reviewing and have found rewarding given the work that was required to bring them to life.

There are of course areas where these new playing conditions can evolve to cater to the broad ability of players of the game. The more experienced and capable players of the game have challenged some of the age and stage conditions through the season and this has led to a strong debate and discussion around the common ground and the distinctions that playing conditions should display for ‘participation’ cricket and for perhaps more ‘performance’ oriented cricket. In our discussions towards the end of the season and over the past few months, I am encouraged to report the openness and willingness of Auckland and New Zealand Cricket to take the learnings from 2018 – 19 and roll them into a further set of evolved playing conditions for the 2019 – 20 season. These playing conditions are not yet available but we will of course share them broadly across the Club when they are.

It is likely that some readers of this report will lament the loss of a more traditional format of cricket. I would encourage them to reflect on the changes that have been driven into the game as a very positive development. I would also ask them to consider cricket in the context of the challenges referenced already in this report. It is an exciting time for our game and we must all work hard with the experts in charge of the game to deliver a product that encourages participation and enjoyment above all else. If it isn’t quite right the following season offers the opportunity to tweak and improve where needed.

As a PCC Board, we want our Club to be the ‘preferred’ cricket club across the Auckland region and we aim in all that we do to provide an inclusive cricket experience, full of opportunity for everyone to develop their own skills and most importantly to create an environment of fun and enjoyment. Our Club Mantra enshrining equal opportunity for all players summarises this well and guides us in our approach. I am delighted to report that whilst playing numbers in the Junior Club have reduced slightly over the 2018 – 19 season, the quality of play has remained high and we have some silverware in our trophy cabinet to accompany the wonderful achievements of our Premier Men and Reserve Women and their silverware. 24. At the youngest end of the Club we have a great festival atmosphere being delivered on a Friday night for our Grade 1 (age 4-6) players. Phil and Steve with the help of our young pros from the UK have produced a fun and enjoyable session where young players are given the opportunity to develop some foundation skills and work towards a game environment. The sessions finish with a sausage sizzle and the bar is open for parents and caregivers to socialise whilst their charges hopefully develop a love for the game. The passion involved in this product even saw Steve dress up as a cricketing Santa on the last playing day in December. I commend this Friday evening experience to all of you and ask that you spread the word powerfully across your networks to ensure the PCC playing numbers at this age remain robust.

Grades 2-8 all saw many teams participating in Saturday morning and some Saturday afternoon cricket. The levels of enjoyment witnessed both first hand and relayed second hand were high. Additionally we saw the introduction of midweek T20 cricket for Grades 7 and 8 which was a positive experience for most of the players and parents. We will work hard again in the upcoming season to put more teams on the park and ensure the enjoyable experience happens for everyone.

We continue to remain committed to the development and growth of female cricket at PCC. Our programme has again been well led by Dominic Drumm and Sally Woodfield. At both Junior Prizegiving sessions I asked parents to give their daughters a try at cricket and to get them to perhaps participate in the Friday night or Grade 2 / 3 levels if they have daughters of the right ages. Cricket is a great game for both boys and girls and we are blessed with world record making role models for our girls in NZ and with a strong White Ferns side to inspire. Please do what you can to give more girls the chance to play our wonderful game. Congratulations to Emma and Kate Irwin for their selections for Auckland U15s – a strong outcome from a good season. As far as results go, we secured 3 wins in the Auckland Cricket Competitions: Well done to the players, coaches, managers and parents of the following teams: - Parnell Hadlee (Grade 6 Premier Championship) - Parnell Maroon (Grade 7 Midweek Championship) - Parnell Horne (Under 14 Club of Origin)

Our representative cricket programme has also again been successful this year with our participation in the 2nd iteration of the J.T.Sparling Super Series. The Series sees Parnell, Cornwall, University, Grafton and Howick Pakuranga all compete for the J.T.Sparling Shield awarded to the Club who amasses the most points from all the representative fixtures through the season. Points are awarded for each win achieved at all age grades and consolidated into a final tally for each fixture. Each club played all the other clubs, with league tables being created for each of the age grades and at a total club level. The Super Series culminated with a ‘Finals Day’ on the 17th March where those clubs in 1st and 2nd place in each of the age groups played off for the age group Cup.

Our representative results were as follows: - vs Howick Pakuranga Won 8-3 - vs Grafton Won 6-4 - vs Cornwall Lost 4-8 - vs Auckland University Won 8-5 3 wins from 4 fixtures is a very pleasing result. Well done to all our players and coaches involved.

This year we had 4 of our A grade Rep teams in contention for silverware at the JT Sparling Series finals day with 3A, 5A, 6A and 8A all heading to HPCC on a good day for cricket. I am delighted to confirm that all four PCC teams walked away victorious. This is a good build on last year where we secured just the one cup with Grade 7. Cornwall again won the overall J.T.Sparling shield and we were in 3rd place just behind AUCC. Work to do no doubt as we head into 2019 – 20.

These results in our representative season also resulted in many of our players being selected for the Eastern Districts Cricket Association (EDCA) which is the step up from the J.T.Sparling Super Series. We accounted for approx. 40% of the selections for EDCA with 48 players being recognised at this level across the 7 grades of participation. My thanks go to James Dudson and Jon Tierney for their representation of the Club as part of the EDCA committee.

I would like to make mention of our grade coordinator team who have been instrumental through the course of the season in making the season a success for each of their grades. Grade 2: Annick Larkin Grade 3: Craig Cunningham Grade 4: Sarah Wilby Grade 5: Janeen De Zoysa Grade 6: Tony Burt Grade 7: Jacqui Sinclair Grade 8: Anna Tierney Grade 9: Kate Wilson Grade 10: Victoria Wilkes I am very grateful to them all for the work they have done through the season and their support. I look forward to working with them again next season.

Likewise in each of the grades there are Coaches and Managers who ensure that our teams run smoothly every weekend and who as parent volunteers actively give their time to the game and the club. I extend my thanks and appreciation to all of you and look forward to seeing as many of you as possible return to the club next season.

25. Lastly but by no means least I’d like to acknowledge both Steve Hurdley and Phil Horne who have again been instrumental in what has been a good season. Steve – you have done an excellent job in your 10th year and Phil – you have again been a pleasure to work with across so many areas of the Club.

As I write this report, we are in the middle of a terrific Cricket World Cup in England and Wales where our Black Caps have started promisingly. Overnight they have snagged with a terrific (Boult!) catch on the when the West Indies needed 6 to win with Brathwaite on 101 and batting with a number 11! It is great to see such tight games happening on the international stage and to see the Black Caps prevailing. My fingers and toes are crossed for the Black Caps at the business end of the tournament. With so many solid developments going on across the game, one thing that we would all love to drive participation levels in the game is a World Cup winning Black Caps side. Win or lose, a good showing at this pinnacle competition will have positive results so Go the Black Caps.

Winter well and I look forward to hopefully seeing you all return for the coming 2019 – 20 season, one that promises to be another excellent one for Parnell Cricket Club.

At the time of selection, Selector Ian West commented to those players not selected “we firmly believe all players nominated to trial were of sufficient standard to represent EDCA in the Y7 District Tournament and asked ACA if we were able to add an additional EDCA team into this tournament on multiple occasions. Unfortunately our requests were denied meaning players are unfortunate to miss out on selection for this season.”

YEAR 8 EDCA’s 40 over team coached by Jonathan McInroy - 6th - 11th January: Yash Khushal, Tayden Smit, Brendan Meyer, Liam Denny, Jacob Bainbridge, Johnny McElwee, Joseph Barker Dominic Kelleher, Broughton Weenink, Darcy Porter, Brodey Warren EDCA’s T20 Cup team coached by Ollie Pringle - 6th - 8th January: Will Sterne, Ohm Patel, Joe Wallis, James Nelson, Hamish Aspinall, Max Johnson, Seb Carlisle, Hugo Tierney , Ethan Hall, Luke Franich, Elijah Ivimey

Considerable disappointment expressed at the limitations placed on these game s – only T20s, 9 a side, 45m boundaties, batsmen had to retire once 30 balls faced. In Final Campbell Joyce hit the winning run off his 30th ball to bring up his 50. Partner, Zac Essenhigh, had scroed 41 off 27 balls.

UNDER 15 GIRLS The EDCA Under 15 Girls team was placed 3rd in the District Tournament:

The EDCA team comprised a fairly even number of girls from both Auckland University Cricket Club and Parnell Cricket Club. After losing a few older girls from the previous year, the team was a fairly young group that was excited for the tournament and keen to show off learnt skills. Emma Irwin was the captain. Eastern Districts got off to a good start on day 1 beating Western comfortably however narrowly lost to Central in the afternoon. The second day was almost a washout due to terrible weather conditions however this did not seem to bother the Eastern girls managing another fine win over the Manukau district team. The third day brought about a big game against North Harbour who were the team to beat for the tournament. The girls rallied together and put in a strong team performance in the field however were not able to score the runs needed in the second innings. The final game was a playoff for 3rd and 4th against Manukau Districts. Eastern were able to repeat their round performance, again beating Manukau and ending up a respectable 3rd on the leader board for the tournament. Emma Irwin (186 runs) and Kate Irwin (123runs) were top performers with the bat and Emma Irwin (5 wickets) again was top performer with the ball along with Mia Hay (3 wickets). Naomi Hay was an outstanding performer in the field, saving numerous boundaries. The girls were an outstanding bunch who put 100% effort into every game, had great team spirit and exceeded expectations with their result for the tournament. A “big thanks” was expressed to Dominic Drumm for organising the Girls’ programme.

35. ADAPTIVE CRICKET DAY

Once again the annual Adaptive Cricket Day was a huge success with Parnell hosting som 80 Special Needs students from Sommerville Special School and it’s satellites and the Pegasus Unit of Pakuranga College. Our UK player coaches, Jack Marston, Jack Crace, Hugh Teesdale and Zac Essenhigh were assisted, as usual, by 30 Saint Kentigern Boys’ School Year 8s. A most enjoyable Day – and many thanks to the Saint Kentigern contingent headed by Grayson Aspinall and Duncan Grant. A sausage sizzle was very much appreciated by all and thanks go to Mark Essenhigh for attending the BBQ with the assistance of Amisha Metha, Jenny Haggitt and Manager Steve Hurdley.

Chef Mark at work And the sausages are eaten!

36. OTHER GAMES OF NOTE

EASTERN DISTRICTS – UNDER 18 vs SAINT JOSEPH’S COLLEGE,

10 December EASTERN DISTRICTS U18s vs ST JOSEPHS at Auckland Grammar School, Lower Ground

EDCA 217 (50) Sajith Dhamagolla 41, George Corey-Wright 30, Flynn Dudson 36, Adam Paulsen 25* Thibault de la Varis 40* ST JOSEPH’S 174/10 Bailey Service 3/17 (6), Thibault de la Varis 2/13 (4.3), Seb Stephan 2/24 (6) RESULT: EDCA WON BY 43 RUNS

Coach Ian Trott has commented “Some good fielding, good catches & a runout- direct hit (Dhamagolla) from side on! Very good day to build up for the coming Tournament”.

Saint Joseph’s brought four teams across to play cricket. They have played Saint Kentigern College and this game, and others, have been arranged thanks to EDCA administrators. Very timely as, with the reduction by Auckland Cricket in the scope of their annual Age Group tournaments, there are many youngsters who would, otherwise have been deprived of cricket. Congratulations to James Dudson, Chairman of EDCA and his team for their initiative in issuing the invitations!

THE PRESIDENTS’ MEN - TOUR TO MILLBROOK CC, ARROWTOWN, October 2018

The Teams – Millbrook CC and Parnell CC

And the setting - the Millbrook Ground – spring blossom on the trees, snow on the tops, magnificent!

The Pressies (including a couple of invites) ventured South late October to do battle at Millbrook. A game arranged by Rod Smith with John Cushen representing the Southerners and, thankfully, further arrangements completed by Andrew Barker. A marvellous weekend, great hospitality and the opportunity to revisit a very special part of New Zealand.

The cricket – scores have faded from memory but it was a good contest enjoyed by all!

37. PARNELL vs THE CRICKETERS’ CLUB OF NEW SOUTH WALES – January 2019

The Teams CC of NSW Logo

Parnell was privileged to host this touring team from across the Tasman. The CC of NSW is a club that was first conceived back in 1894. Reorganised/reconstituted several time since then but many famous and notable Aussie cricketers have taken the field for the Club. They have toured overseas frequently – to England and Europe, South America, South Africa and several times to NZ. The game at Shore Road was most enjoyable and, whilst the scores and result have been forgotten, the Dinner that followed the efforts on the field was hugely appreciated and did much to enhance Trans Tasman relationships!

THE VIKINGS INVADED – February 2019

Sponsor Steen Nielsen (2nd from left), former Denmark rep. turned out for Parnell against his countrymen

The Teams Lead by Ole Mortensen (a.k.a. “Stan” or “Blood Axe”), the legendary pace bowler for Denmark and Derbyshire, this landing party of Danes took the field at Shore Road on 19th February to do battle with Parnell forces. The invaders were eventually repelled and the survivors, from both sides, made merry over a Feast that evening. It is understood that, the next day, the Vikings regrouped to lay waste further down country. 38. SENIORS’ SECTION – MEN & WOMEN

40. SENIOR PRIZEGIVING Mike Simpson Lounge, Saturday, 23 March 2018

An excellent attendance and the majority of Senior teams were well represented, especially the Hawks who were there en-mass. Manager Steve had most diligently prepared the miniature bats for centurians and certificates for 5 wicket bags and the Team Awards. Club Captain Pete Hickman presided:

AWARDS All Centuries and 5 Wicket Bags (see previous 2 pages)

500th Wickets in Career Special Award to Marc O’Gorman

Marc O’Gorman A great stalwart of the Club Marc, who’s career with Parnell stretches from 1992 to the present, took his 500th wicket for the Club. He remains 9th on the list of All Grades wicket takers for Parnell and is certain to be turning out in 2019/20 with the intention of overtaking others though, even for Marc, Ross Morgan’s 902 may take a good many more seasons.

Black Caps at the Clubroom to sort and distribute kit - Zac and James Dew met and 42. JAMES BEVIN – FORMER CLUB CAPTAIN LIVING THE DREAM

James Bevin, in the Lord’s Long Room holding the Trophy, Oxford having defeated Cambridge in the One Dayer. And, in more casual circumstances, meeting up with Mitch McCann and our former Skipper Dave Goddard

Dr James Bevin is at Oxford University completing a Masters degree and is revelling in the cricketing opportunities now available to him. A tour to South Africa last summer then a for Oxford saw James selected to play Camridge in the Lord’s One Dayer on 28 May. Oxford won decisively though James now has the distinction of having batted, but not scored, on the hallowed turf at Lord’s.

Then the cherry on the icing on the cake, James made his 1st Class debut for Oxford in the 4 day match vs Cambridge – the annual event that dates back to 1827. Those playing for Oxford in this 1st Class match are awarded Blues.

This year, 2-4 July, Cambridge hosted at Fenners:

CAMBRIDGE 228/10 K Suresh 54, J Vitali 46*, T Pettman 3/61, M Fanning 3/47 and 157/10 N Taylor 59, T Pettman 5/19 OXFORD 296/10 G Hargrave 146, A Rackow 52, J Bevin 29, A Armin 4/56 and 92/2 A Rackow 32*, J Bevin 18* Result: Oxford University won outright by 8 wickets

The Oxford XI at Cambridge University’s ground, Fenners – before the game and then after victory!

43. AWARDS DINNER – TERRY JARVIS CENTRE, 5 APRIL 2019

M.C. Ben Horne and Chairman Craig Presland Director of Cricket Phil Horne and Guest Speaker

The Club’s 3rd Annual Annual Awards Dinner was an outstanding success – a huge credit to the organising team. Ben, our “in house” MC was chirpy, cheeky and welcoming and it was so pleasing to see the contingent of Year 8s and other teenagers present and included in the proceedings of the overall Club. Long may they continue to play for and belong to the Parnell Cricket Club.

How good to welcome Martin Snedden as guest speaker! Martin spoke, particularly, of the 2015 Rugby World Club – a triumph of organisation for which he gained great credit. His cricket, too – and Phil Horne, our DoC, was his team mate at Grafton United, Auckland and New Zealand.

Congratulations to all the prizewinners – 2018/19 was a marvellous season, good progress with young Juniors and especially with Girls and Women’s cricket. The outstanding performances of the Under 17 and 19 Boys were recognised as were the Men’s Thirds and Premiers’ Jeff Crowe Cup win. Whilst other teams may not have collected silverware, their club spirit was still hugely appreciated and they can look forward to 2019/20 Seasin with every expectation.

A new look – no David Goddard, no Mike Ravlic, no Coach Ian Trott but a warm welcome to Aniket Parekh, Will Somerville and Ollie Pringle and the newly appointed Head Coach, Ian West. Black Cap and Aces duties prevented Lockie Ferguson taking the field for us, and Will Somerville, Mark Chapman (hindered by an injured shoulder) and Ben Horne could only play on odd occasions but invaluable and hugely appreciated when they were able to play.

JEFF CROWE CUP – Limited (50) Overs Championship – THE ROAD TO THE CUP: The season started on 20 October, two weeks later than previous, but straight onto grass, not artificials. First game was at Home vs North Shore – not good, we failed dismally being all out for 101 chasing 182. Next week, vs Cornwall,also at Home. Ben Rae hit a dazzling 105 off 134 balls and Ben Rainger 62 – 139 for the 1st wicket and 268/6 at 50 overs. But rain and the game was abandoned after 24.3 overs with Cornwall 134/5. Then a break till 4 December (Two Dayers intervening), again at Shore Road vs Papatoetoe and we rattled up 319/4. Flynn McGregor-Sumpter 84 and extra quick 50s from Ben Rae, Andy Lane and Ben Rainger –impressive! Papatoetoe only responded with 186. Henry King, back from Karori, took 4/40 and Ollie Pringle 3/43. Next, away to Birkenhead – just 172/10 off 47 overs, Henry King again dominating with 3/32, We let loose knocking off the runs in just 24 overs – Ben Rae scintillating with 78 off just 44 balls Break till 12 January - at Home, we only sneaked in by 2 wickets against Grafton – 132/8 to their 131/10. Bowlers did well – Henry once more (3/34), and Ollie, Ganesh 2 apiece but the batting was shaky. 19 January at Colin Maiden - AUCC piled up 278/2– Beecroft 102, Anand 52 and Allen 75 and whilst we started well – 89 for the 1st wicket (Ben Rae 41 and Ben Horne 80), we were all out in the last over 27 short. A further loss - to Suburbs, our 254/7 (Andy 68, Aniket 59*) was made short work of by the Aces’ pair of Raval and Barry (72 and 64*) and others – 258/3 with 11 overs to spare. Time to rethink! Despite those setbacks we scraped by a whisker into the Preliminary Semi Final and met old foe Takapuna at Onewa Domain. Ben Horne and Mark Chapman were available for us as was Henry King and, with another spinner needed, 16 year old Nikith Perera made his Premier debut. Takapuna had both O’Donnell brothers. Sensational start – Henry had a wicket in his first over but Takapuna recovered somewhat to reach 258. Our bowlers had done well - Henry 3/43, Ollie 1/54, Josh 2/47, Nikith 1/54 and Aniket 3/58. The chase – wickets fell from the outset. At 128/5 all seemed lost but Ollie and Ben took us to 180 when Ollie was caught. Ben, playing the innings of his life was in control, Aniket stuck with him to 223 – Ben had reached his 100. 7th out, Aniket was caught behind of LH spinner Jones then Josh was caught at slip first ball – 223/8 and 36 still needed. Cometh the 16 year old debutant – but Nikith showed no visible nerves and helped Ben through to victory. Ben Horne 136*!!

SEMI FINAL: vs Howick Pakuranga, Sunday, 17 February at Lloyd Elsmore with all “names” playing – Parnell batting first struck immediate trouble from the Aces’ full pace attack – McClenaghan, McEwan, Ferns and Grobbelaar (another Ace, Jamie Brown, was their 12th man) – 2/1, 3/2, 17/3 – but Mark Chapman fought back aided by Andy. Mark left at 87 having scored 52 but Andy (60) and Brad (44) kept the runs coming. Then Will, Ollie and Josh also chipped in usefully leaving HP to chase our 263/8. Henry led the way having Glen Phillips caught behind -16/1. Same again – 47/2. Enter Barnard, ten 1st Class games, 143* highest score and averaging 94 for HP this season. Nikith, 16 year old LH spinner comes on – Barnard clean bowled. Sensational –Will Somerville, fresh from his Test exploits, then took the ball and HP disintegrated. Will’s 6/10 dismissed HP for just 117. Henry King 2/25 (6), Ollie Pringle 1/29 (5), Josh Fisher 0/17 (5) Nikith Perera 1/34 (8) and Will Somerville 6/10 (7) – amazing! And Parnell to meet Suburbs New Lynn in the Final!

FINAL: vs Suburbs New Lynn, Sunday, 3 March at Eden Park No.2 – weather fine, Toss won by Parnell Our batsmen hit their straps in this game. At the outset, Ben Rae cut loose but was held up early by top fielding but it was Andy Lane (84), Ollie Pringle 74) and an extraordinary cameo from Aniket (54*) that took us to 363/5. A tough task for SNL but their openers took it to us and only an outstanding catch at deep backward square leg by Ganesh off Henry turned the tide. And turn it did – from there our bowlers tightened the screws and then it was just a matter of time – full marks in particular to Ganesh 3/63 (10), Henry King 3/35 (9) and Aniket 2/34 (7). SNL, all out for 211 after 38.2 overs, to give Parnell it’s third winning of the Jeff Crowe Cup since 2009/10. 49.

HEDLEY HOWARTH TROPHY – Two Day Championship This series started with a resounding 9 wicket outright win vs Auckland University -with Ollie Pringle outstanding with 10/100 in the match (7/37 and 3/63). Sadly, further successes didn’t follow – the Cornwall game washed out with no result, then poor batting allowed Papatoetoe a 1st innings win. Two outright losses came in February when minds were turning to the One Dayers but then, vs Takapuna, 100s to Andy Lane and Ollie Pringle brought a 1st innings win and though the ECB game was rained off with no result, another 1st innings win, vs AUCC, allowed the season to end on a more positive note and Parnell in 4th place of 8.

T20 CHAMPIONSHIP A resounding 9 wicket loss to Eden Roskill and game 2, vs Cornwall, abandoned without a ball bowled set us back dreadfully. We recovered extremely well. Two excellent wins at Cornwall Park on 22 December – Will Somerville, back from Test duty, bowled well but took no wickets but our other two offies, Aniket and Razin had success. Then AUCC was dismissed for 38 on 5th Jan. (Aniket 5/9) but a loss to Howick Pak, in the afternoon saw us eliminated.

NATIONAL CLUB CRICKET CHAMPIONSHIP at Cornwall Park, 2-7 April: A marvellous Tournament hosted annually by Cornwall CC – the One Day champions from the 6 1st Cass provinces competing. Greerton from ND, Napier Tech. OBs from CD, Eastern Suburbs, Wellington, St Albans, Canterbury, Green Island, Otago, and we, Parnell, representing Auckland. Not much success came our way, seldom were we at full strength - work and university commitments needing to take precedence. Summarising: Tues. vs Green Island on no. 3 – lost by 185 runs despite Ollie Pringle’s 3/49 & Nikith Perera’s 3/28 Wed. vs St Albans on no. 1- lost by 132 runs despite Ollie’s 3/53 and Aniket’s 45 Thurs. vs Greerton on no.2 – won by 132 runs Ben Horne 61, Aniket 45 then Ollie 2/15 & Henry King 3/48 Frid. vs Napier TOB on no. 1 – lost by 4 wickets Josh Fisher 4/41 & Nikith 1/11 (’s wicket) Sat. vs Eastern Suburbs rain, abandoned without a ball bowled Competition was intense with a number of 1st Class cricketers taking part – Jesse Ryder and Noema-Barnett, from Napier TOB, Brett Hampton of Greerton and Chris. Viljoen who hit 118 against us for Green Island. THE FINALE was on Sunday, Parnell playing Greerton on no. 3. for 5th and 6th placing. A sensational game – Greerton’s Henry Collier hit 125 off 51 balls but our bowlers held their nerve – Keegan Russell 3/61, Aniket 3/22 – and we had to chase 281. At 5/108 all seemed lost but the Skipper rescued the situation with 129* off 50 balls and helped hugely by Josh Fisher who’s 57* was invaluable. Result – Parnell won by 4 wickets for 5th place.

SUMMING UP Congratulations to Skipper Brad and to Coach Ian for their melding in of the newcomers into the Team. Team spirit was truly excellent and all members had their moments of success. Rep. duties meant the side was never totally settled but, when available, Mark Chapman, Ben Horne and Will Somerville fitted in seamlessly. Injuries, too, took their toll – Chappie was obviously handicapped by his shoulder injury, Ben Rainger, who started so well, continued to be injury prone and Dean van Deventer’s side strain cut his season short though he did hit a most useful 78.

Batting – always positive - Ben Rae, Andy Lane, Ollie Pringle, Aniket Parihk and the Skipper himself, saw to that and had some notable innings. Ben Horne and Chappie both played crucial innings in the OD Semis. Others, too – Flynn McGregor-Sumpter played the rock on occasion and stepped into Ben Rainger’s shoes well. Josh Fisher, down the order, didn’t always get the opportunities but his knock in the NCCC Final showed great maturity. There were the odd blips but some brilliant innings

Bowling – Ollie and Ganesh spearheaded our attack and Henry King’s arrival late November was a real boon with the bounce that he generated. Keegan Russell bowled with great heart and, unquestionably, our quicks were the sharpest in Auckland, apart from Howick Pak’s bevy of Aces. Aniket’s offies were very effective and he got superb support from Will Somerville on the few occasions that Will was able to play. Razin Bharde got just one game but bowled well in tandem with Aniket and Will – fascinating watching 3 offies together and it was Will who went wicketless! And Nikith Perera, 16 year old left arm spinner, bowled with a maturity way beyond his years.

Fielding was a real strength and, whilst he only had the odd game, Giacomo Lamplough excelled. Behind the stumps Ben Horne was outstanding as always but, in his absence, Harry Miller was superb and a marvellously positive asset! Close in, and in the deep, all played their part and Parnell was very sharp.

In conclusion, very grateful thanks go to Jocelyn Goodger, our totally dependable Scorer, and John Fisher, our Manager, who gave fantastic support. Thanks, too, to Mehul Chhagan who researched oppositions’ statistical info and reported to Brad and Ian each week – most useful! To Ashwin Haran and other lads who, so enthusiastically acted as water boys. And Craig Speakman for his superb photos, Bryan Haggitt for lunches and all the Club members, young and old, who gave such great support throughout the season, especially at Eden Park for the Jeff Crowe Final!

Three Competitions Prichard Cup Limited (50) Overs Pearl Dawson Trophy T20 Sue Boric Cup 10 over

SUE BORICH CUP 27 October This was a 10 over hit up Tournament to get the season and Parnell started with a resounding win over Howick Pakuranga but the weather intervened and there was no further play and the Tournament abandoned.

PRICHARD CUP This is the major competition of 11 rounds and was dominated by Cornwall, who won the Cup with 7 wins, from Takapuna with 6. Parnell with 2 wins didn’t figure in the Table but those two successes and some excellent fight backs indicated real hope for the future. This, especially, with so young a team. In fact it was back in Round 1. that Cornwall had difficulty in chasing down our 148/10 losing 7 wickets in doing so. Against Takapuna on 1 December, we gained a win. Takapuna had been dismissed for 87 (Gemma Lord 5/23) and we were 57/2 with Yaz Khareem 26* after 23.3 over when the rain came – enough to gain the win. We met Papatoetoe the next week – we scored 143 losing our last wicket in the 49th over and this was too much for the opposition. Papatoetoe all out for 109 with Emma Irwin taking 3/6 off 5 overs, Yaz had 2/12, Maddi Curran 2/19 and Renee Macmillan 3/19. A second win - fantastic work on the part of our young bowlers.

PEARL DAWSON TROPHY Parnell didn’t fare so well in these T20s – not one win in 10 and it was Waitakere who beat Howick Pakuranga in the Final.

SUMMING UP The Team did show great spirit. This was just our second season back in Premier Grade, a very youthful side and there were some truly exceptional performances. Great to have Yaz Khareem back at Parnell and congratulations to all the trophy winners. There is great promise in the side and we very much look forward to 2019/20 season

Note: Jonathan McInroy moved on last February after coaching the Team to it’s first two wins. We wish Jonathan well in his new employment and very much thank Phil Horne for standing in for him late in the season. The appointment of Rob Nicol as Coach for 2019/20 is exciting and we look forward to him taking up his role.

53. MEN’S PREMIER RESERVE GRADE

Coach/Scorer Roy Goodyear Will Ormiston - Captain

COACH ROY GOODYEAR REPORTING: The Prem Reserve Team culture is a reflection of the Club culture. Coaching can encourage this culture but cannot create it alone and is driven from within. As has been mentioned on more than one occasion at post season functions, the turn over of personnel with in the side (36 at last stock take) was staggering. To create a culture with this turnover and the results that were obtained can only be attributed to the handful of lads that played throughout the season. The kudos for the outcome of the season rests fairly on their shoulders. In particular Captain Will Ormiston and, along side him, Cam Gibbons. More about them and the team later in this report

Our results: 2 day format 4th 1 day format 4th

Finishing in these positions was, in my mind, a great result for our season. Whilst we are always looking for victories, the development of players is the prime objective for me as coach and this development process was ably aided by the team’s leadership and senior members.

BATTING Century makers included, Will Ormiston, Cam Gibbons and Jessi Simpson In the Auckland Cricket’s list of batsmen in the President’s Cup (Two Day Championship) from all clubs, a total of 212 players Our top 4 batsmen all appeared in the top 20 for the season Cam Gibbons went on to be the top scorer in the Prem Reserve grade over all 7 i 391 runs 55.86 ave 80.87 sr Followed up by Will Ormiston 4th overall in the grade 8 innings 250 run 31.25 ave 61.39 Sam Klippel batting at 3 for most of the season came 6th on the batting list 8 i230 runs 28.75 ave 50.90 sr Jesse Simpson also, 14th in the Auckland averages with 6 I 170 runs 34.0 ave 52.31 strike rate The above is an outstanding effort from these men.

Giacomo Lamplough, who spent his time between the Prems and the Reserves, added valuable contributions during his time in our side along with his exceptionally high standard of fielding taking some remarkable catches. Overall in our batting there are just too many players to list individually, however, there were crucial contributions both individually and in partnerships throughout the , assisting our top scorers through to their landmarks. My mind goes back to the Papatoetoe game post Christmas where a very well played 49 by Callum Douglas, in his only appearance for us, assisting Jessi Simpson through to his 122. A number of these contributions brought us home in tight situations.

BOWLING Our youngest member of the side Hugh Teesdale maintained a high standard of fast bowling throughout the season. As an 18 year old Hugh (in my humble opinion) has the makings of a very good all-round cricketer. With bowling, as the main string to his bow, his action is conducive to pace, swing and bounce as he matures physically. Welcome back to Parnell anytime Hugh!! Continuing on the overseas vain, our Club professionals all contributed to the Reserves in many ways but most importantly, with their attitude!! They were always a pleasure to have around the club and in our side and wish the three of them every success in all they do going forward. Giacomo Lamplough again added greatly to our bowling attack when available for the Reserves along with (Big Simmo) Simon Walker who had limited opportunities over the season but who never gave anything than his best at every opportunity with the ball. Add to this his contribution of continuous “chirps” in the field keep the side well amused in moments when the game was wandering a wee bit.Keep going Big Fella. The spinning role was shared between Jessi Simpson, Razin Bharde, Sam Klippel and Cam Gibbons (with his effective but “nude” off breaks) Cam Gibbons also spent most of the season behind the stumps; doing a great job that he hasn’t done much of throughout his cricket career until this season. As coach I am just a little concerned at how often his name has come up in this journal!! BUT knowing his modesty the name of Mr. Cricket wouldn’t sit easy with him, yeah right!!

FIELDING is always a work on whether it be the Black Caps or Parnell Prem Reserves. Overall a mark of 7 out of 10 would be a fair guesstimate?

54. IN CLOSING I cannot thank the lads in the Team more for all the support for myself over what turned out to for various reasons a difficult season for me. Without the on and off-field performances and attitude the side would have never done as well as they did. Men you were amazing, thank you Finally, thanks to Phil, Haggo and Steve for you’re support in so many ways behind the scene all a part of our success in the field of play.

NO RAZIN, you have not been forgotten!! We have never known you to give less than 100% every time you walk on to a field and off it as well. We congratulate you on your engagement, after sneaking off to your Country of birth and coming back with a bride in waiting for you at home. We are so happy for you and wish you everything of the best.

Ella Drumm – returns after scoring 118* This exceedingly young team performed amazingly well. For a side containing players scarcely into their teens, to win the Limited Overs Championship was exceptional!

There were many highlights – one in particular was the 10 wicket win over Cornwall when 16 year Renee Macmillan (70*) and 12 year old Kate Irwin (56*) put on 146 for the 1st wicket.

Another was Ella Drumm’s 118*. Her maiden century followed on the Cornwall game and after both Kate and Renee were out cheaply – the Team had undoubted batting depth! Her ton resulted in a win over the other Cornwall team by 165 runs!

Bowling, too – some amazing figures and the Team should go from strength to strength in the coming seasons.

56. “THIRDS” - SENIOR 4th GRADE Captains - Elliot Jaffe & Mehul Chhagan Manager Peter Hickman ACA 2018/19 Overall Champions

Elliot Jaffe Pete Hickman

13 year old Zac Essenhigh (front left) from Wales being farewelled by the Thirds at the end of Season Zac was here for the whole season. Here he played whenever and with whoever, with success, for EDCA U14s Parnell Sunday T20 Soldier, and both our Fourths and Thirds. Back in Wales, this 2019 UK season, he plays for Penarth CC 1st XI (adult Premier Grade)and for Cricket Wales U17 Academy

ELLIOT JAFFE and PETER HICKMAN REPORTING Going into the 2018/19 season, the thirds were tasked with gaining promotion to the upper echelons of grade cricket. With many changes in personnel especially in the batting department, this prospect seemed all the more difficult. However, the tale of the season was truly one to remember.

With the disappointment of losing a close promotion race in the 17/18 season all but forgotten, the thirds began 2018/19 — their second season in the fourth tier of grade cricket, under new captain Elliot Jaffe. What better way to start than with a one-dayer grudge match against last years champions, Grafton United CC. A rollercoaster of a game resulted in the PCC 3rds narrowly losing by just 2 wickets. A washed out game against East Coast Bays followed by an ugly win over Suburbs New Lynn CC epitomized an inconsistent start. However, we began the two-day competition strong, demolishing Auckland University CC, narrowly missing out on a crucial outright by just one wicket! However, a shock PCC batting collapse from 60/1 to 109 all out against a weaker Takapuna led to a crucial first innings loss. In the following two dayer, we once again narrowly lost to Auckland University CC. Switching back to the one-day format, we visited the Takapuna team which had embarrassed us a few weeks earlier. However, this time it was PCC’s turn to show the strength we possess, with a commanding 156 run win. Reflecting upon the 2018 stage of the season, it was an extremely stuttering start with extreme ups and downs in our form. From a batting perspective, we seemed to struggle to display consistency.

With a well earned Christmas break, the 3rds returned to action against the fearsome Birkenhead CC, who has a big reputation for runs and controversy. However, it was to be PCCs time in the limelight, as a 2 wicket win secured vital points in the race for the one-day competition title. Little did we know, this game proved to be a catalyst for the rest of our season. Following this, Kumeu came to Orakei Domain for the final one-dayer of the season. With a win required, and a Birkenhead CC loss needed to win the limited overs title, the day proved to be a thriller. Despite fierce Kumeu resistance, the 3rds won by 1 run — a runout off the last of the match ensuring the points. However, we ended up missing out by 1.5 points to Birkenhead, to finish a commendable 2nd in the one-day competition. Turning back to the two day competition, the 3rds found their stride. With a decimation of Grafton United CC, PCC picked up outright points to stamp our title intentions. Following this, a comfortable first innings win against Kumeu CC kept us on Birkenhead CCs tail in the race for the two-day title. Going in to the final three games, there was to be significant drama. Matching up against the top of the table Birkenhead CC, the thirds were humbled to a 114 run loss, which severely dented our hopes of promotion. At this point due to injury, Mehul Chhagan took over captaincy duties from Elliot Jaffe. It proved to be an inspired change, as Mehul led the 3rds to glory against our bitter rivals, East Coast Bays with a 27 run win. Going into the final fixture of the season against already relegated SNLCC, PCC sat 3rd in the table. However, first and second placed Birkenhead CC and East Coast Bays were to play each other during this round. With many calculations attempted, we conceded there was a glimmer of hope to win two- day day title. With the comforts of home in Shore Road, the 3rds delivered one of the performances of the season, going on to remarkably win outright by 8 wickets. With many a prayer delivered, and phones in hand, we waited eagerly to hear the results from the other games, to find out the Birkenhead CC game had been abandoned, with points shared.

57. All this to say, a rupture of cheers and screams began as we learnt of our fate as two-day champions, beating Birkenhead CC by 0.8 points. As a result, we had remarkably achieved our goal of promotion to the 3rd grade of men's cricket, where a season of sheer thrill will hopefully be relived once again.

While this summary only provides a snapshot of a quite frankly remarkable season, there were many players of note who deserve mentioning:

 Luke O'Toole – Our top run scorer for the second season in a row, amassing 474 runs at an average of 33.9 with the blade. Luke anchored the top order at number four and led us into many victories throughout the season. He was rightly rewarded with his first reserves appearance in January. We wish Luke all the best in the next chapter of his life in Ireland.  Zac Essenhigh — The 13-year-old Welsh prodigy performed well beyond his years, averaging mid 40’s with the bat and often opening the bowling. Good luck in the future Zac, we hope to see you back here.  Mehul Chhagan — Coming in for his first season at PCC, Mehul established himself as a senior figurehead within the team. A cool, calm demeanour led him to be promoted as captain, leading us to our epic promotion win.  Cameron Rope — Ropey once again proved age is just a number. His strategic, wily ability to outfox grade cricketers has never been in doubt, as this season he proved his value with the ball taking 14 wickets at an average of 11.93  Kelly Lunow-Haldane — A return to PCC after a stint out of the game came at a time where the 3rds numbers were dry due to injuries, Kelly slotted back in and played out the rest of the season as an allrounder with top results considering his time away.  Elliot Jaffe — For a third consecutive season, ended up leading wicket-taker with 17 wickets at an average of 7.76 with the ball. Unfortunate that severe injuries restricted his overs this season — however, was still ever reliable in opening the bowling.  Matthew Vercoe-Curtis - Ever present at the top of the order, VC continuously proved too stubborn for bowlers to get out, and the introduction of his in the tail end of the season added an extra dimension to our bowling attack.  Absar Ul Hasan — A player for the future at the ripe age of 34, Absar made the transition to full time 3rds opening batsman. In-between battling shin splints and some of the stranger wicket celebrations any cricketer is likely to see, he batted with grit and determination, with the occasional six that rendered him invaluable.  Mohan Wali — The workhorse. Bowled the most overs this season (85) with little reward, but many a dropped catch off his bowling. Mohan worked hard in the place of injured fast bowlers and proved to be by far the best fielder in the team.  Josh Milne — Finally, to our most improved player and now reserves spin ace, Josh played a critical role in our bowling lineup when decided to try spin. Able to turn it both ways, Josh was incredible value taking 14 wickets at an average of 7.85

To conclude, this season places us into the Senior Third Grade for 2019/20. Should we get promoted once more, that lands us in Reserve Minor which both as a team and as a club we should be aiming for.

“FOURTHS” – SENIOR 7th GRADE Captain: James Partridge

The Prunes – a fine, fighting force! CAPTAIN JAMES PARTRIDGE REPORTING on the Dawning of the “Prunes” After a long winter which included a number of visits to the club house for team drinks, we had picked up a couple of new players, and the old faces gathered to go round again. The season began with a trip across the ditch to Thomas Bloodworth Park to meet the team from Kumeu, we started on fire with early wickets which left Kumeu six down for 26 runs. To our surprise Kumeu fought back well and ended their innings all out for 180. After some sensible batting we pushed towards the total with haste however a middle and lower order slip we sat 9 down with 6 runs to get. Unbeknownst to us, one of our new boys, Imran, knew how to wave the willow and he hit a boundary to leave us 2 shy, then, smack, he smashed a six back over the bowler’s head to bring up our first win of the season. The next game saw a new addition to our team - Eli, a young unassuming guy who was here for a beer and the love of the game. What we did not know he was going to shape this team, and build on the culture we had started in the prior season. This game also saw the rise of a new opening batsman Sam Noland, He put his hand up when no-one else wanted to open. After some early hiccups with both our openers being , we started to consolidate and build our innings. We had a few more hiccups which left us 8 down for 123 then in strolls our Swinging Sri Lankan, Tim, who along with our new keeper “Mo the Main man”, smashed six after six to push both to finish with 50’s and our score on a competitive 205. Then the rains came and the game was halted with Howick Pak one down for 75. Our first two day game against Takapuna, this was the game which I would say was the dawning of the Prunes. Again we had a new opening combination Sam Noland & Eli Paewai. Sam took some shine off the ball but then was adjudged LBW, we dropped another wicket and, at the 20 over drinks break, we were 2 down for 70. Van Wyk and Paewai built our innings to have us 2 down for 150 at the 40 over mark. Now was the moment for us to hit the GO button and the message was “just go for it”. These two did not disgrace as they took off with Van Wyk getting out for 72. Which brought in Pooley who hit a quick fire 42 off 35 balls then Hans Kariyawasam (“Hans Solo”) who smacked 25. Paewai was out in the final over after bringing up his century. We finished our 60 overs with 323, we had hit 173 run in the final 20 overs.

59. Now in the field, we took early wickets and ended the day with Takapuna 5 down. After his marathon innings Eli had to leave but not before he pulled out his Cooly bin chock full of beers and cokes, so the boys obliged and invited our opponents over for a drink after a day of cricket played in the right spirit. Day two saw us push to bowl Takapuna out and enforce the follow on. But we we could not do it and ended up 4 runs short. To give us every chance to bowl them out again we went back in to bat with the head space we had 15 overs to hit as many runs as possible. Pooley took this task personally hitting 75 runs of 55 balls and supported by Absar who hit 25 off 28 balls. We ended this 15 overs three down for 130. Unfortunately we ended the days play having them 6 wickets down for 112. The drinks flowed again after the game as we celebrated another great days cricket. Our next few games were washed out but this did not stop the rise of the Prunes, with a Instagram pages being launched and, with the blessing of the Parnell Cricket Club’s Committee, we got new shirts printed, Parnell Cricket Club were now represented by the Peaches, Plums and the Prunes. We entered the New Year with a big win over Birkenhead and finished early so we all went to support our brothers Eli and Greg who were playing for the Thirds. The 19th January 2019 will go down in folklore as being “THE DAY” that the first Prunes first stepped out on Papatoetoe Rec Ground proud in our new Prunes shirts. This game did not go as planned as we were beaten but we stood as one and cheered as our mates as they tried to overhaul the mammoth total we had been set. We finished the One Day competition in third place after only losing just one match and having 3 matches abandoned, one more they any other team. We ended our season with five Two Day games which ended with us winning three and losing two, one by 3 runs. This meant we finished the Two Day season in fourth place. As the season rolled to an end we held a Prunes v Plums 15 over a side match, the Fruit bowl. This brought the largest crowd of the season and probably one of the busiest nights in the club house. The Plums held their own, bowling a tight line and length only a couple of falters in the field cost them some valuable wickets. Then they backed up this performance with some great batting but fell a few runs short of their target. There is talk to make this a annual event, and make it a 20Twenty match. We extended our season as the Prunes held a tour of Juicy to Taupo and Hamilton and competed in two 20 Twenty matches. Like with the Fruit Bowl we are looking to make this an annual event and maybe head to Tauranga next year. The culture build over the last couple of season has been grown out of peoples buy in to and love of the game. Played in the right spirit and with the understanding that we are not greats but we certainly are the greatest team.

SUNDAY 1B T20 PARNELL POUNDERS ACA T20 Pre Christmas Champions

CHRIS MATTHEWS REPORTING The Parnell Pounders were crowned the Auckland T20 1A pre-Christmas 2018/19 champions after thumping rivals Grafton Beige Brigade by 7-wickets in December’s final. The Pounders won seven consecutive matches to take out the title and they saved their best for last. Bowling first in the final, Parnell couldn’t have got off to a better start, with pace bowler Quinton Taljaard (2/10 off four overs) taking two crucial wickets in the first over. From there, despite battling the rain, Parnell took a steady flow of wickets to ensure they wouldn’t be chasing much. Tanuj Ahuja was yet again the pick of the bowlers with 3/15 off 3.2 overs. Ahuja then quickly proved that Shore Road was the home of the Pounders, by smashing Grafton’s opening bowlers to all corners with a quick fire 34 off 13. The Kirk brothers finishing the job with 47 balls to spare. Steve Kirk (19*) was the leading run-scorer before Xmas with 147 runs at an average of 49. Throughout the competition, Jared Hards excelled with both bat and ball, averaging 138 at a strike rate of 222 and also took 8 wickets. Before Xmas, the team ended with an unbeaten record of 7 wins, with 1 no result. After Xmas they couldn’t defend their title – finishing 5th – but the team will always remember those eight golden weeks of 2018.
