Hillgrove Colts Cricket Club Dougie's Mate 2015/16 Hillgrove Colts Cricket Club Club Champions since 2008-09 Dougie’s Mate 2015/16 2015/16 - Hillgrove Committee President – Tony Jones Vice President – Nick Sewell Secretary – Kris Croft Treasurer – Matt Schaefer Junior Co-Ordinator – Ian Reeves Registrar/Recorder – Brian Parsons Public Officer – Kris Croft Chairman of Selectors – Ian Reeves Hillgrove Colts Cricket Club: Proudly Sponsored By 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.

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. …………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… Hillgrove Cricket Ground 2005 Mark Jackson on his way to 3/67 vs ExServices 17-Nov-1990 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.

I also wish to thank all those parents and helpers who enabled our kids to get out and participate in the wonderful game of cricket. Whilst we had no teams winning competitions this year, I don’t believe this is a single measure of success. 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! Hillgrove Colts Cricket Club continues to provide opportunities for boys and girls of all ages and also supports those players starting to move into senior cricket. I hope that we see some of our new players to the club this year continuing with us over the years and one day also joining our senior teams, just like eight of our Under 16s this year who also played some, or all, of the senior season as well. I am proud of the effort our club puts into nurturing our junior players and I believe this is one major reason our senior teams continue to perform so well in their competitions.

  • A HISTORY of CLUB CRICKET in COUNTY DURHAM Chapter One
    A HISTORY OF CLUB CRICKET IN COUNTY DURHAM Chapter One..........The eighteenth century In the beginning The first recorded cricket match in Durham was at Raby Castle in 1751. It was five years after the Duke of Cumberland and bayoneted Redcoats slogged through the county’s mud on their way to the Battle of Culloden. Defoe’s account of his travels through Great Britain had not long been published. Defoe found nothing remarkable in Darlington or Chester-le-Street except “dirt” but was impressed by Lumley Castle and acknowledged Lumley coal the best in the country. He thought Durham a “compact neatly contriv’d city” where clergy lived “in all the splendour and magnificence imaginable”. Durham cathedral and Saint Cuthbert’s remains were a shrine for pilgrims but the city was a vulnerable haven riding on a cut-throat sea. The poor lived in slums; the populace was prey to vagabonds, footpads and highwaymen. The Bishop of Durham bewailed “the scorn of religion”. His flock scratched a living on the land or burrowed beneath it for lead and coal; their leisure centred upon drinking and blood sports like cock-fighting. In 1742 John Wesley came across a village “inhabited by colliers only, and as such had been always in the first rank for savage ignorance, and wickedness of every kind. Their grand assembly used to be on the Lord’s Day on which men, women and children met together to dance, fight, curse, and swear, and play chuck-ball, span farthing, or whatever came to hand.” Somehow, sometime the game of cricket took root in these parts.

    Hillgrove Colts Cricket Club – 2016/17 Little Dougie’s Mate 2010/11 2016/17 Hillgrove Committee President – Mike Stace Vice President – Matt Baillie & Nick Sewell Secretary – Kris Croft Treasurer – Matt Schaefer Junior Co-Ordinator – Ian Reeves Registrar – Brian Parsons 2016/17 – President’s Report As we farewell another enjoyable and successful cricket season, I think it is timely to reflect on why it is we play cricket in the first place? For most of us, the opportunity to play cricket with our mates on a Saturday morning and to strive to do our best week after week, and of course to have FUN are surely the reasons why we return each spring in freshly pressed whites. I am confident season 2016/17 has fulfilled those goals for all our Hillgrove juniors. A big congratulations must go to the Hillgrove Under 14s team which were named Premiers for this season playing some wonderful cricket along the way. The Under 16s just missed the Final but had a successful season after combining with CSC where they gelled well as a team and new friendships were made. Several of our Under 16s players also played Senior cricket for the Club and have contributed strongly to the senior team’s successes. The Under 12s and our younger cricketers including our first time Milo cricketers all performed well and played in the true spirit of cricket. It is such a thrill when a young cricketer takes their first wicket, hits their first four or takes their first ever catch. Well done to all! Congratulations to all our juniors who played representative cricket throughout the season, there are too many to name but you have made the Hillgrove family very proud with your achievements.
