2015/16 - President’s Report
Congratulations to everyone in the club. Another Club Championship can only be achieved with significant contributions from all players in every team!
Four finalists from four teams, three minor premierships and two premierships pretty well sums up our success on the field this season.
A return to the top step for second grade, defending 112 in the grand-final was just reward for an excellent season. An inaugural win for the third grade Brumbies, defending 102 in the grand-final, after a few seasons building this team, was also well deserved. Another grand-final for first grade, after going straight through after securing the minor premiership, unfortunately beaten in the final game but not without a fight and a never say die attitude. Finally a semi-final for the third grade Colts, who were disappointed not to go further, but with a significant change in personnel should be pleased with making it to the finals in a pretty tough competition.
As I said it takes contributions from everyone in the club to achieve the type of successes that we have achieved on the field over many seasons. I must, however, thank certain individuals for their efforts. Thanks to the captains, Kingy, Sewelly, Sharmo and TB, for getting their ‘troops’ organised each and every week. Often compromises must be reached in order to field four strong teams across all grades and these guys were the ones who had to adjust to these, sometimes late, changes. To all committee members I, and the entire club, must thank you for all the hard work that goes on behind the scenes. So thanks, VP Sewelly, Treasurer Schaef, Secretary Kris, Registrar BP, Chairman of Selectors/Junior Coordinator Reevesy, Social Committee Armo and Baills, committee members Cuz and Crofty. We are all part of a club that is the envy of many other clubs due to its level of organisation and ‘smooth running’. This can only be achieved because of the time and effort put in by all of those people mentioned above. I truly believe that this is a significant key to our success.
I must particularly mention two committee members who worked tirelessly each and every week throughout the season. Reevesy may have stepped down as president but then stepped up as junior coordinator, keeping our juniors running smoothly, and also acting as chairman of selectors. This is a huge week-in week-out, often thankless, task. Not only did we not have to forfeit any games but we managed to consistently field strong teams each and every week. Thanks to those players who encouraged others to come and play when we were short, also. BP must be thanked for all his administration work. We never have to worry about losing competition points for some slip-up because BP is always onto it, making sure players are all registered, MyCricket is up to date, scores are in on time etc.
We are the family club and like a family we stick together. There may be the odd difference of opinion, from time to time, however, when the ‘chips are down’ we are there for our ‘family’. We are very welcoming to new members to ‘our family’ and it was great to add new players to our teams this year. I was so impressed with how teams, led by their captains, welcomed, included and supported our new players, particularly our juniors who were stepping up into the senior grades for the first time.
I wish to offer congratulations to Matt Schaeffer for his induction as our newest life member. It recognises his long term dedication and commitment to Hillgrove Colts Cricket team as an outstanding player and committee member. You would be hard pressed to find a more committed ‘team man’ and I know he is honoured to be recognised for his efforts, and to join his father as a ‘lifer’.
Thank you also to our sponsors, Armidale Bowling Club, Grand Hotel, Armidale Pet Shop, Hillgrove Mines and Sportspower. This year we did not ask players to pay umpire fees, funded by our raffle nights at the Grand. I particularly thank those players who helped out by selling raffle tickets on a Friday night.
I feel proud and honoured to be associated with Hillgrove Colts Cricket Club and I hope we can continue to build on our strengths over the coming seasons. With this I believe success on the field will also continue to come our way.

Hillgrove Colts History
Hillgrove Colts Cricket Club Perpetual Trophies
Peter Hickey Memorial Trophy
The Peter Hickey Memorial Trophy for the player most likely to succeed, is in memory of the late Peter Hickey who played 1st grade for the club for approximately 10 years during the late 1970’s to the late 1980’s. He was an exceptionally talented bowler, and had been on a world tour with the Northern NSW Emu’s Cricket club in 1974. The trophy was donated by his family after his untimely death in 1991.
The Royal Hotel Trophy - Clubman of the year
The royal hotel trophy for clubman of the year would’ve been donated by Joe Barbato the owner and publican of the Royal hotel. They were our club sponsors for approximately 10yrs in the late 80’s early 90’s. Joe himself never actually played cricket for Hillgrove, however his son Peter played in the lower grades for the grove.
Tom Dye Memorial Trophy - Player of the Year The Tom Dye Memorial Trophy for the Player of the Year is in memory of the late Tom Dye who was one of the club’s early players during the 50’s. Tom was a wicketkeeper and up until his passing he was a patron and a very keen supporter of Hillgrove Colts Cricket Club.
The Harry Browne - Spirit of Cricket Award
Donated by life member Harry Browne. Harry was an exceptional batsman, coach and role model for many of the young players of Hillgrove Colts Cricket Club. Harry donated this trophy for not necessarily the best player in the club, but for a player that plays hard and fair in the true spirit of the game.

2015/16 - First Grade
Not such a great finish to the year but everyone gave 100% to the end which made me very proud It was fantastic to see so many young guys putting their best foot forward and having a crack at the top level. It was great to welcome to the HCCC Adam (Elvis) Thurlow (Dubbo) and his partner Jess who attended every social event and the bowling club after each match for drinks and Michael Cursons, who finally cut loose on Grand Final night with a couple of ales among other things. Son of Wok, Thomas (Schooner) Browne made his 1st grade debut and found himself playing most of the games once he completed his HSC The emergence of players like Andrew (Peter Spidey) Parker, Sean Skinner, Richard (In Hard Dick) Heagney and the return of Cuz, Nick Sewell and Byrne for a few celebrity matches ensured that we had a solid season. Runner up in both the 1 day final and the 2 day final was disappointing but hopefully a learning curve for the youngsters involved. You need to lose a Grand Final to truly appreciate winning one, so here's hoping to a bigger and better season in 2016-17 Lastly good luck to Michael Dawson who is off to try his hand in the big time in the Brisbane competition I wish him all the best and hope that he shows them his true ability. Thanks to everyone for the season Soo the Grove Match Draw/Results

2015/16 – Second Grade
Well we have finally done it, we have won a One Day Competition in March YIPPEE.
Also congratulation to 3rd Grade Brumbies on your grand final win, a truly gutsy effort and commiserations to first grade as Saturday just wasn’t your day, but full credit to you for your fight right to the very end.
2nd Grade was a revolving door of players this year especially in the early part of the season with several young players making their debut in 2nd grade and there was a time the average age of the players on the ground was 20 and that is with Cuz and Frosty playing as well.
These young fellas held their own in second grade and got us out of trouble more than one occasion. The game in Guyra we were 8 for 102 when Andrew Parker and Henry Sindel come together at the crease and put on an 87 run partnership for the 9th wicket with some good and cheeky batting but still a pleasure to watch.
We also gained a couple TAS kids from last year’s grand final side (I think they like the way we play cricket that’s what I heard anyway) who were Max Alcorn and Liam Howard. Unfortunately Liam could only play a couple of games with us but his enthusiasm towards the game was infectious and a pleasure to have in the side. Max spent all season with us and if he wasn’t fielding at mid-off or bowling little darts or batting you could find him sitting on the back of the ute kissing and cuddling Mel any chance he could get.
Players that made their debut this season for 2nd grade.
Sean Skinner, Jack Carey, Andrew (slug) Frost, Henry Sindel, Tom Lashie, Scott Cowan, Scott Baker, Lachlan Jones and Jonathan Parker.
Throughout the season we played some good consistent cricket to record 10 wins, 5 washouts, 1 loss to Easts GRRRRRRR and 2 byes were we played our best cricket and we were awarded the minor premiership. The closest game we had this year was against Ex-services. We were all out for 102 and bowled them out for 99.
We went into the Major semi-final against the Barbarians without playing them once through the season proper so they were an unknown package. Things were on the up from the start with the captain winning the toss and the only call to make was have a bat. We were bowled out for 149 with Tom Armitage scoring 32 and Cuz scoring 31 with 2 big sixes. Then it was our turn to bowl and all we needed was the opening bowlers Andrew (Cuz) Curry 10 overs 8/41 and Michael (Fathead) Frost 10 overs 2/22.
Grand final day isn’t unfamiliar territory to 2nd grade, but winning was becoming a distant memory and the Barbarians had a good win over TAS in the preliminary final to earn a spot against us. Guess what the captain won the toss again and we batted with Max Laurie scoring 22 and Cuz and myself scoring 21, we were bowled out for 112. After the Westpac helicopter left and dried the wicket out we took to the field and opened the bowling with Cuz and Fathead again and we got off to a nervous start with some dropped catches and missfields but we come together as a team and after 24 overs we had the Barbarians 7/59 with Cuz 4/34 and Fathead 3/25. After drinks we got the remaining 3 wickets with Andrew Parker getting 1 and Sean Skinner getting the other 2, eventually bowling them out for 80.
It has come to my attention that Cuz is a finals players as there was times throughout the year were his spot was in jeopardy because his figures for the season were 48 overs 4 maidens 7/213 with an average of 30.4 Then come to the final series Cuz bowled 22 overs 6 maidens 12/75 with an average 6.25. Well done Cuz on an amazing bowling effort.
Individual Performances
David Waters moved to the top of the order this year scoring 233 runs with a high score of 44 against TAS
Sam Sewell 67 against TAS and scoring 382 for the year Tom Armitage joined us just before Christmas and scored a valuable 32 in the major semi
Andrew Byrne had a lean year by his standards removed from opening by the association scored 89 for 2nd grade and 59 in one innings for 1st grade
Max Laurie scored 22 in the grand final and would have been an easy fifty if he missed the fielders
Max (Javad Meandad) Alcorn scored his best total in 1st grade with 32. Bowled well all year taking 20 wickets with best figures of 3/12 off 3.2 overs
Andrew Curry could tell you his stats just ask him. 92 runs for the season and few wickets
Michael Frost took 28 wickets for the season off 97 overs with the best figure of 6/25 against Easts
Andrew Parker scored 47 runs for the season with 35 coming in 1 innings against Guyra and took 15 wickets for the season with the best figures of 4/31 off 10.2 overs
Nick Sewell scored 460 runs for the season with a high score of 77 against City
Sean Skinner on debut bowled 1/17 off 9 overs against TAS 3/18 off 5 overs against Ex Services and 3/6 off 2 overs against Guyra and his best figures were 5/31 off 8.3 overs against Easts
Phil McElroy 8/40 off 12 overs against City and then dropped the following week
Mitch Moore 109 not out against TAS
Debut Performances
Lachlan Jones 2/23 off 6 overs against City
Jonathan Parker 2/25 off 4 overs against City
Scott Baker 2/5 off 1.5 overs against TAS
A big thank you to everyone that has had a game with us in 2nd grade this year it has been a pleasure. Also to all the wives, girlfriends, mums who put up with so much on a Saturday afternoon thankyou as your patience is really appreciated. Also to Ross Sewell for being more organised than some of the players getting to the game on time and it would be appreciated if you could let Cuz know where you are when you’re not at the cricket so he doesn’t go looking for any Austag games in town.
Thank you to Ian Reeves for getting teams on the ground each and every week.
We are back

2015/16 Third Grade - Colts
Saw this year as a development year (again), with younger players such as Lochie Jones, Josh Stace and Tom Lashlie who joined late in the season, and new players such as Drewe Ferguson, and Mark Flynn, adding to the core group of last year – myself, Jonesy, Pete, Pardo, Stace, and Stewie. We made it to the semis and an eventual fourth place result (although didn’t help the cause by losing the last 5 games of the season!). An encouraging season overall, with both young and old(er) players stepping up at various games to carry us forward. Some highlights include: Round 1 - Tom Lashlie opening the bowling with 2/14 Round 2 – Cameo appearance by Richard Heagney, scoring 119 not out Round 3 – Josh Stace with 30 not out and 2/39 Round 4 – wash out Round 5 – first rule of round 5 – don’t talk about round 5 Round 6 – wash out Round 7 – against TAS Blues Mike Stace come up the batting order and score an effective 40 runs Round 8 - Lochie Jones’s 4/42 against Brumbies Round 9 – Stewie and Pete Townsend put on a 120 run partnership against Guyra Round 10 – Stewie and Drew – 110 opening partnership Round 11 - defending 80 odd against Ex-Servies at Harris Park. Josh Stace bowling for the conditions and picking up 3 for 8 for the win. Cameo appearance by Sean Skinner in Round 12 with 4/16 off 8 overs. Drew also scored 49 in this game. Round 13 – the most enjoyable loss I’ve ever experienced against Guyra / Ollera. In this game Flynny scored 55 Round 14 – Stewie scored 50 against Barbarians Rounds 15 onward – see round 5 Player profiles Stewie – started the season slowly with the bat, but came home strong finish with 282 runs, and still managed to disappear on a cruise. Even got to bowl for a couple overs – don’t know what the captain was thinking there (must have been round 5). Drewe – (no nickname yet) first full season with us and found a comfortable position at the top of the order. Great team player, go to guy – no task was too hard or too much. Great assistance on the field, esp when it came to bouncing around ideas for tactics. Pete – (still no nickname) – probably had a better season with the ball than the bat – scored 169 runs by the end of season, but his bowling was where he shone this year, contributing at various times throughout the season. Josh Stace (Jnr) – very loud, wouldn’t stop talking, but listened well and seemed to pick up some tricks – rookie season in senior cricket, performed well and can only get better. Highlight was in round 3 with 30 not out and bowling 2/39. Will come into his own over the next couple years. Mike Stace (Snr) – very lucky for home life, that he beat Josh’s runs tally by 1 run! Great all-round team player, batting, assisting with umpiring, scoring, rugby stats, bowling. Very effective bowling throughout the year (all two of them) 0/1 off 0.2 – top score of 40. Parto – plenty of opportunities with bat and ball. Hit the winning runs in round 12 against TAS White, with a supposéd ‘ramp shot’. Threw in the new bowl on a few occasions and was unlucky to not have more success. Jonesey (Snr) – Mr President – as usual, solid behind the stumps, high score of 30, bowling stats a bit lousy and not up to par – missed a few games. Self-sacrificing when it came to batting opportunities – putting the development of the team and its juniors first, choosing to bat down the order to give the younger members a go (besides, he wouldn’t let the score book out of his sight). Flynny – came in late to the side, and performed extremely well as backup wicket keeper, when Mr President was unavailable. Out-stumped Jonesy by 1. Good partnership with Sharmo against Guyra / Ollera, scoring a well compiled 55. Great pickup for the year. Tom Lashlie – another junior who was too loud for the oldies (lol) – great addition to the side with his off-spin, often given the opportunity to open the bowling and performed well. Only played 6 games with us, but made such an impact it seemed like more. Good fielder. Hope to have him for a full season next year. Lochie (Jonesey Jnr) – performed well as an opening bowler. More of a first change bowler, but performed well in this space. Finished with 15 wickets for the season, with the best at 4/42. Took direction well and will play better next season with this experience under his belt.
Notable mentions – Stuart Pullar – turned up half way through the season, keen and ready to play. Only played 6 games for us, but did well with bat and ball. Scott Baker – played 7 games, terrorised batsmen with good paced bowling. 9 wickets for the season. Steve Clark – played 3 games, pulled his hammy twice! Cameos from Sean Skinner, Dave Waters, Aiden Morrisey, Alex Brown, Gary Seach, Phil McElroy, Andrew Hall, Richard Heagney, Donovan Chalmers, Alex Patton. All in all, great season with a terrific bunch of guys. It’s great to play on a team where camaraderie was strong and it’s a pleasure to Captain. Thanks for your support. Sharmo “Soo the ‘Grove”

2015/16 - Third Grade Brumbies
What a year. At the beginning we were unsure of where we would end up. Losing some key players from our last season, Reevsey to the movies and Sean, growing an extra leg in the off season deserving his promotion to the 2nds and Jack showing signs he might have to go also, we were faced with a bit of a new look side. This in turn allowed us to put the pressure on a few more retired cricketers and a chance to relive their youth. Having used no less then 19 players for the season we finally got down to a regular 11 which proved to be a winning combination. Every one of the 19 players used made contributions along the way, which held us in good shape. Dan Grimsley looked like he was ready to tear them apart but succumbed to a hand injury. Mick Brennan made a cavalier appearance and probably produced his best bowling figures ever. Suffered for a week after though. Tom Lashlie showed how handy he could be and then went and opened the bowling for the Colts. A very promising prospect. Henry Sindel certainly left his mark on the game also as did Aiden Morrisey when he was asked to fill in. Norm Gaywood stepped in and helped out and Reevsey made a couple of guest appearances when there was nothing on at the movies. Not very often you get to play with both parents and a son, but this year Allison Cowan made it possible by filling in for us on a couple of occasions. Apparently Jono reckons she threw like a girl but she accepted that. What was now left was the 11 that went through and brought home the big one. Convincing Stew Maxwell and Jono Watson to fill in for us every week was a plus, Andrew Carey bought a new bat so he could fill in on every weekend, and so Jack could use it if he got out in time. Allan and Scott Cowan, Greg Johnson, Jerome Simpson, Macca and myself were all from the previous season. Then we had young gun Jono Parker. He turned up first game as an unknown. I asked if he would open the bowling and he made that position his own for the rest of the season. As do most young players, he has a bit to learn but he is a good listener and very keen to learn. He was a great asset for us. So, for our season. It came down to every one having a role, learning what is was and then putting it to good use. Even the ladies recognised their role with afternoon tea. Fantastic job. Don’t think I have ever been associated with a more supportive, happy team during my playing time. If you weren’t prepared to take a sledging from your own team mates it just wasn’t the place to be. In saying that, I never witnessed a harsh word, only praise and support for each other all season. Enjoyment was the slogan and we stood by it. Even Captain Cranky held it together, mostly. Never were the opposition sledged in an offensive manner. I extend a huge thankyou to all player’s wives, partners and families of this team for the way you have conducted yourselves and represented HCCC this season. Well done everyone. I also believe this is the year that the Hillgrove Hakka may have been born. I would like to congratulate all the Hillgrove Executive, all its members and supporters for another fantastic year of cricket. The 3 musketeers of Tony Jones, Reevsey and BP stood tall for us again. Congratulations to all individual trophy winners. I am sure that every one of you will admit that it is a great privilege but would never be possible without the support of a team or club around you. Have a great night and ‘SOO the GROVE’ Tony Butler

2015/16 Junior Report
This season Hillgrove entered teams in all age groups and even though none of the teams made the finals I believe it has been a very successful season. It may feel nice to take home a trophy, however, I believe it is nicer to be part of a team, develop new skills and possibly form lifetime friendships and memories. With any luck we may also be able to add some premierships next season!
I would like to congratulate and thank our coaches for a great season, encouraging every single player to achieve their best and enjoy this great game with their team mates. U9’s – Anthony Hawkins U10 – Nathan Porter U12 – Daniel Grimsley U14 – Jonathon Watson U16 – Michael Stace
Thanks also to the parents who have assisted in some way throughout the season, from scoring to umpiring, to just being there to see your child achieve.
It is difficult to run a sporting club without the support of sponsorship. We are very grateful to the support of The Armidale City Bowling Club, Grand Hotel, Hillgrove Mines, Local Search and Armidale Pet Shop for their financial assistance throughout the year.
Well done to all players that will receive trophies today, and to those who were successful in winning Association awards: Jack Carey – Under 16 Batting Aggregate Judah Flint – Under 12 Bowling Average Hayden Schumacher – Under 12 player of the Lismore Carnival Sam Johnson – Under 12 Rep Player of the Year
Special mention also to Henry Sindel who not only represented Armidale, but also Northern Inland and was then named Vice-Captain of the Northern Razorbacks, who went onto win the NSW State Challenge in Dubbo against the top 100 U14 players in the state.
One of the strengths of our club has always been our junior base. Hillgrove has been up until recently the only club that catered for players from Under 9s through to senior cricket. As a result of this we have always encouraged our juniors to play senior cricket, third grade in particular, once they turn fifteen. This year we had several of our Under 16s players take up this challenge – Lachlan Jones, Joshua Stace, Alex Patten, Aiden Morrissey, Jonathon Parker, Henry Sindel and Jack Carey. For three of these players it was an opportunity for them to play with their fathers. As is usually the case, this only ever lasts for one year, as the younger players usually progress to higher grades, while their dads continue to play out their careers in thirds.
Until next season, Ian Reeves Junior Convenor

2015/16 Representative Report
This season had some mixed emotions within the Armidale first XI. Early in the season, after struggling for numbers, we managed to get a team together that by the end of the season, was playing some impressive cricket. Against Walcha in our first game, we managed to defend 220 thanks to Uppy who took 6 for 10. That was after Hillgrove’s Adam Thurlow sent shivers through their camp after splitting an opening batsmen’s beak.
The most promising thing for me though, is that we played our best cricket against Tamworth when it counted.
We booked a spot in the Semi Final after defeating Tamworth 2nd XI by chasing down 219 with only 3 wickets down. (Matt Baillie 59no & Scott Brennan 29no). A few young Grovers stepped up to the plate in this game. With Sean Skinner and Jack Carey taking 1/51 and 2/29 respectively, they didn't look out of place.
The Semi Final was then against Tamworth 1's and it was a nail biter that unfortunately didn't go our way. We were only defending 220, which as it turned out, was almost enough. Adam Thurlow once again took a few crucial wickets (2/12) including one first ball of the innings. Scott Brennan held up an end for his 10 overs (1/33), doing the perfect spinners job. After having Tamworth on the ropes at 9-201, a last wicket stand which included some big hitting, took a grand final spot out of our hands. All in all, despite the Semi Final loss, Armidale cricket is looking very promising for the future. Tamworth has something to think about next summer! Matt Baillie Soo the Grove.
