PRESIDENT’S REPORT 2015 – 2016 SEASON The 2015/16 season has been one of the most successful seasons to date for the club with 15 teams, up 5 from the previous year and over 170 players across all age groups from U8‐16’s. The club also hosted Milo Cricket with over 50 children participating, which will ensure our growth will continue, special thanks must go to Gerard Meares for ensuring this grass roots program continues. This year we had four teams in the U8/9 competitions, three U10 teams, two U/11 teams, one U12, two in both U13 & 14’s and a combined U15/16 team, with the U10’S winning the competition and four other teams making the finals. We also had many players who represented NDJCA in the representative teams and did the Epping Bulls proud as well as two players who were selected in the NSW Academy Squads Kartik Khetarpaul and Senara Perara in the women’s squad, congratulations to all of these players. Once again this year Le Specs continued to support the club as a Gold Sponsor, which enables the club to provide free playing shirts for all players, a big thank you must go to Bill and Emily for their continued support. As a club we are very fortunate to be associated with a Senior Shires team and our Epping Bulls Senior Club continues to support us through sponsorship of our 5 year loyalty program and providing coaching and assistance to some teams and our Milo program. I would like to thank all coaches, managers, scorers and parents who assist at training and on game day, without people like you our children wouldn’t have a sport to play. As our club continues to grow, this comes with more challenges and workload, and as we prepare for the next season we will be seeking additional people on the committee to lessen the workload and ensure we continue to prosper. Once again, a big thank you to all those involved in the club this year, and a special thank you to Shalil our secretary who has done an incredible job and Sunil our treasurer who will be leaving us this year after many years balancing the books. I look forward to seeing you all back for a bigger and brighter season.

Connor bats well at the top of the order and is always dangerous with the ball both in the field and at the bowling crease. The senior cricket club has its new all‐rounder ready to step up. Intermediate Club Cricketer of the Year (U13‐U14) Arvin Niranjan Arvin had a great season this year in the U14 East team, working hard on his game he was again selected in the NDJCA Moore Shield representative side. This year Arvin scored over 440 runs for his team, batting in the top of the order and took 15 wickets with his medium/quick bowling. Arvin showed his all‐round skills in the field taking 9 catches and involved in a number of run outs as well as always keeping active and chatting in the field. Off the field Arvin is a great team player always encouraging his teammates and respectful of the opposition while still having that competitive edge. I am sure if Arvin stays on this path we will see more of him the future. Page | 4 Junior Club Cricketer of the Year (U11‐U12) Lachlan Keenan Lachlan Keenan had another strong all‐round season of cricket contributing in all areas of the game. He was an unselfish batsman always looking to speed up the scoring rate for the team and played a role in a number of useful partnerships. Bowling was again a strong point for Lochie and he was also an energetic performer in the field. Wicketkeeper of the year Billy McCarthy This was Billys first year as a full time keeper and proved very solid behind the stumps taking 9 catches, 3 stumpings and was also involved in a number of run outs. Billy is a very enthusiastic fielder and isn’t short of a word on the field encouraging his team as captain. Most catches (non wicketkeeper) Deniz Wiggins Deniz was basically safe as houses throughout the season, he took the most catches for the club this season and by this token demonstrated the importance of fielding to good cricket. Athletic in the field with a good arm and took 9 catches this season! Page | 5 Spirit of Cricket Award Rohan Awati Rohan is a deserved recipient of this award as while he is on and off the field embodies the true spirit of the game and what is about. He encourages all his team mates with words of wisdom and the knowledge of the game. He is a great listener and also a great communicator to his team mates and is also seen to encourage the opposition when they do well, a very good sportsman. He is an excellent spin bowler in the competition and a great fielder with very safe hands. He also seen helping others down at the nets with their game when they ask and represents Northern Districts in the Shield team each year and it was a pleasure to be able to work with him throughout this year. Well done Rohan. Club Encouragement Award Under 12 Team The Under 12 team are the deserving winner of the Club Encouragement award for the season. The team took amazing 81 wickets through the season and scored 1245 runs this season. The team had a tough group this season and the entire team worked really hard through the season and as shown with an amazing outright win against Epping YMCA after the Christmas break! U10 Encouragement Award Ethan O’Halloran‐Cole Ethan has performed exceptionally well second year in a row with both bat and ball. Ethan is the wicket keeper for the NDJCA Shield side and is a true all round cricketer with safe hands in the field. He is always first to the games, warming up and training early. Ethan is a clean powerful hitter of the cricket ball always finding gaps and a very reliable bowler in the team. We wish his love for the game stays the same and increases over time.
