To the Members and friends of Manly Warringah This achievement becomes even more Cricket Club Inc. remarkable when you consider that the average age of the playing group this year was just 22, yes The Management Committee has pleasure in that‟s right 22, absolutely incredible to think that a submitting for your consideration the 134th Annual group of players so young can achieve this. This Report and Financial Statement. bodes well for the future of the Club.

The Club entered teams in the five Sydney Cricket I would like to thank everyone involved in the Club Association Grade competitions along with the this season, starting with the committee led so First Grade Limited Overs and T20 competitions, passionately by President Andrew Fraser. The the Poidevin-Gray and AW Green Shield committee is a very hardworking team with competitions. EVERY member contributing to the betterment of the Club. Anyone who visits Manly Oval on a At the start of the season many people both inside Saturday will see Fiona Lyon doing at fantastic job and outside of the Club thought we would struggle in the canteen. having lost so many experienced players who had either retired or moved onto pastures new. If you have been to any of the first grade matches, you will have seen David Gardiner doing a great To all of those I say have a look at this…….. job looking after the lads. This, along with many other roles within the club, contributed towards the 1st Grade – 5th place in 2 Day competition decision to award Loz the Keith Marks „Clubman 5th place in 1 Day competition of the Year‟ award and very well deserved it is 10th place in T20 competition too.

2nd Grade – Minor Premiers & Runners-up There are many others who do magnificent jobs (defeated in the final by Syd Uni) which at time go unnoticed, too many to mention. I would, however, like to bring to everyone‟s 3rd Grade – 3rd place attention the enormous amount of work that Greg Boyer, better known as Pathway Pat, has done 4th Grade – Runners-up (defeated in the final by this year managing the „Pathway Program‟, I Sutherland) honestly do not how he finds the time!.

5th Grade – 7th place Another tireless worker is Joel Mason. It would take too long to mention everything Joel does for Poidevin-Gray Shield – 4th place the Club, some things you see, but there are far more that you do not, he is just incredible. AW Green Shield – 10th place There are many other members of the backroom These results culminated in MWDCC becoming team who make this club run smoothly. I will the SCA Club Champions for the third time in the mention a few here but I would like to say that, if I last 12 years. have missed anyone, then I apologise now – you know who you are: The final day of the season was not to be forgotten with just 40pts between ourselves and  Our scorers, Geoff Rogers, Gordon Currie Sydney Uni at the start of the day which meant and Don Sellin. that we could not rest on our laurels.

To all of you, I thank you on behalf of the Club for season. Due to the unforeseen weather, many all your efforts, they are greatly appreciated. changes to training schedules had to be organised which takes a lot more time than you This season saw two events held at Manly Oval might think. Then there was the additional time that took a lot of organising behind the scenes. spent (outside of the twice weekly Club training These were the NSW Breakers Ladies games sessions) with players honing their skills. The against South Australia and the T20 game players are in great hands and, if they embrace between the Manly Sea Eagles and the Cronulla Dean‟s philosophy and work hard at their game, Sharks.

To put icing on the cake, it gives me great I would like to acknowledge the enormous support pleasure to inform you that Dean Gilchrist was we receive from the local Mayors, Jean Hay and awarded the Sydney Cricket Association Coach of Michael Regan, as well as the NSW Treasurer the Year, the first time in our long history that one Mike Baird.

There are two other main contributions to our fabulous season this year; I have touched on the Good Luck for 2012-2013. first one earlier, being the Pathway Program. This has ensured that the Club could cover for players John Parkinson not being available. It is, however, far more than Honorary Secretary just that as it gives the opportunity for all players in the district to follow a path from junior cricket all the way via Shires to Grade and hopefully to play for Australia.

Fundamental to this are Warringah Cricket Club, coached by one of the greatest blokes you could wish to meet, David Gainsford. Without their fantastic support, the Pathway Program would not have been successful as it has been this year. I would like to take this opportunity to thank the committee at Warringah CC for their support of this great program. It will prove to be a beneficial program for years to come.

The second is the amazing contribution of the coaching team, led so passionately by Dean Gilchrist and admirably assisted by Brett Penprase. Let‟s not forget this was their first season, making our achievement all the more remarkable.

The time and effort Dean and his team have put into the Club this year will not be known by many outside of the playing group. This started with a very full pre-season and continued on during the 2011/12 MWDCC PRESIDENT’S REPORT

It is once again with tremendous pride that I write what our Club achieved this season is arguably my President‟s report for the Manly Warringah one of the greatest feats in our rich history.

Then disaster struck when Northern Districts I would also like to congratulate our brothers at called off all three matches in their precinct during Warringah Cricket Club for capturing two a Saturday/Sunday round (note the only 1st grade premierships this season in the Shires game in Sydney not to bowl a ball that round) – competition. Our relationship with Warringah has the less said on that one the better! But zero never been stronger and thanks to the unique points to Manly that round. We went from having pathway program in place, we are now integral in a 30 point lead, to a 70 point deficit to Sutherland, each other‟s success. Great season guys and a with Sydney Uni now right on our tail, just 10 fitting reward for Club Coach David Gainsford, points adrift. who deservedly won their Clubman of the Year award! Blacktown was to be a defining round – again, with rain during the week, we almost didn‟t bowl a Now I want to focus on our performance in season ball in the three away matches, as Council closed 2011-12. the grounds on the Friday afternoon. This would have killed off any hope of winning the title. But to There is always debate when comparing the credit of the Blacktown President, he lobbied achievements and victories with past eras, but the Mayor and had the decision overturned. We won all 5 grades with outright points in two But what we do have at Manly is a wonderful grades, to rocket back to the lead. Sutherland group of people, a unique culture and a cricket had a poor round, but Sydney Uni won all 5 family that breeds lifelong friendships - that‟s how grades also. we manage to defy all odds and keep winning Club Championship titles! So it came down to the final round, a One Dayer v Mosman – only Sydney Uni could beat us. We Whilst we just missed out on collecting another had a 40 point lead. In short, to catch us, they two premierships and naturally there was had to win all 5 grades and hope we lost at least 2 disappointment – but to all the players, don‟t grades. So we all knew the scenario. underestimate the enormity of what you achieved this season. Early on, it was clear Sydney Uni were going to win all 5 grades and that they did. It was nothing short of miraculous and one of the greatest performances from the entire Club in our Our 2s and 3s were bundled out cheaply. So 134 Year history! things were very stressful at this point and the Prez grew a few more grey hairs!

Mosman were 9 down and needed 3 to win. We So the Sydney Smith Cup is for all of us to enjoy – get a run out and win by 1 run. Then it was CLUB CHAMPIONS - we all should feel incredibly absolute pandemonium at Manly Oval as 20 proud of what we have achieved this season. players listening to the commentary on loud speaker now knew we had won the Club Thank you to everyone involved and let‟s do it all Championship by a mere 20 points over Sydney again next season! University. Cheers Was it a miracle, fate or pure hard work? “Frase” I would say all of the above!

The celebrations that evening will be remembered by all who attended forever – as our 1st Grade skipper Timmy Cruickshank aptly described it – “one of the all time great nights at Manly”.

To give you an idea of how close it was, we scored 1564 Club Champs points to Sydney Uni‟s 1544 – so consider this – over the course of the season, we win by a mere 20 pts – that is just 1 x 3rd grade win (24 pts)!

Randwick Petersham won last year with 1344 pts – so we had to score another 220 pts to beat Sydney Uni. It is believed to be a record Club Champs tally, surpassing our own record in 2006. Everyone appreciates how difficult is to win the Club Championship. It takes a collective effort from everyone involved in the Club, both on and off the field, from First Grade right through to Green Shield.

Since 2000 – we have now won 4 x Club Champs titles. To put it in perspective, no other Club has won more than 2 during this 12 year period.

We don‟t have hundreds of thousands of dollars to spend on coaching and administration resources.

We don‟t have University degrees on offer. We don‟t have millions in Trust funds. MWDCC PLAYERS TO HAVE PLAYED TEST / NSW CRICKET

When I look back over the season, I can‟t have Cameron Merchant – “Nappa” came back to any other feelings apart from a sense of pride as Manly this season with a refreshing attitude to what we achieved as a 1st grade group in towards contributing as much as possible to 11/12. With an exodus of senior players from the helping the club and displaying a magnanimous previous season, it was time for some fringe approach in offering his 1st class experience to players to step up and take responsibility to other players. I think this attitude played a ensure we didn‟t let this be a rebuilding year and massive part in his own success and took some did everything possible to make it a year of pressure away from his own game. A fantastic success and triumph. year with the stick – when we needed him to step up, he did. I think he has now proven he is good Unfortunately we have walked away empty- enough to play first class cricket in Australia and if handed in regards to silverware but we can be he continues working on his game and stays patient without putting pressure on it, then his time very proud of contributing towards determining the will come and he will be wearing that baggy blue club championship for the club as well as in the near future. achieving some other worthy milestones throughout the year including qualifying for both the one day and two day finals. Stephen O’Keefe – it is always great to be able to have the NSW captain come back to play for Manly. Even more so when it is someone like There were some excellent individual “Soky” who has an incredible sense of performances throughout the season. Here is a brief run down on all the players that contributed competitiveness and desire to win. I can see during the year. every single player in our dressing room lift 10% when Sok is around and this is a credit to his leadership capabilities and down to earth attitude. Nick Watkins – I can‟t speak any higher of what Hopefully he gets the success he deserves next “Watto” sacrificed for our team this season. At the season as NSW captain after what I‟m sure has beginning of the year, I confronted him with taking been a testing year for him. Success is inevitable on the wicketkeeping role when he only had little for you mate if you continue displaying your great experience behind the stumps. He never attitude towards the game that has been so good hesitated in committing to the most demanding to you. role in cricket and did an outstanding job for us. This show of selfless behaviour from “Watto” was Mitchell Cleary – after what was an indifferent invaluable to our side‟s success. Although I‟m sure he will be disappointed with his year with the start to the season for the “Beaver”, he showed great character in having such a strong finish. He stick, he can certainly hold his head high as he could have easily taken a step backwards after showed what a great team man he is and I hope not getting the results he desired; instead he there are many years to come for him at Manly. trained harder and became more determined to succeed and did. A brilliant match-winning Jack Ritchie – for someone who was considering hundred in a crucial game against Blacktown not playing at the beginning of the season, I would showed maturity and discipline from a player that like to think Jack had an enjoyable season and generally loves to play his shots. I hope this realised his love for cricket. I loved being out in season kick-starts many more big years to come the middle with „Cubby‟ to see him score his as I know you have the ability to be one of the maiden 1st grade hundred. What I want to see best batters in the competition. Week in week out from Jack now is take his game to the next level our best fielder and always gives his best for the and consistently average over 30. There is no side. doubt he is good enough – he just needs to believe it and keep improving his game. A great Luke Edgell – “Bomber” showed signs that he is team man and someone that everyone enjoys playing cricket with. ready to make his mark in 1st grade cricket during the season. He played some valuable innings in become a player of the highest class. It is a tough the middle order and also bowled some excellent ask with all the travel but if you want it enough spells of bowling whether it was coming on for a mate I think you have a real future in the game. breakthrough or bowling economically in the shorter forms. It‟s now time for Lukey to become Andrew Lindsay, Aidan Baker, Matty Mee, Ben consistent at this level and, with more Smith and Nick McLachlan also played a big part opportunities up the order, learn to accumulate big in our side during the year. It was great to see hundreds. “Billy” lead from the front as a senior player this season. “Flat” played some great cameos as he James Munting – it was great to see “Munter” is capable of doing. As for Nick and Matty, it is once again continue to improve this season and great to see 2 local juniors make their mark in first was deservedly rewarded with selection in the grade. Both these guys have great attitudes and NSW 2nd XI. This is a great advertisement for all will be terrorising 1st grade batsmen for years to the young bowlers through the club as Jimmy has come. Benny Smith arrived late during the season worked his way up through the grades and and showed instant signs of a determined and worked harder on his bowling than anyone over hard cricketer that offers great value to the club. the years. He is now recognised as one of the stand-out bowlers in Sydney Grade Cricket. With It was also great to see Javed Badyari debut in a bit of luck, this will convert into even higher 1st grade. He is a player with a lot of talent & has representative honours next season and beyond. many successful years to come in the top grade. Well done on another great season. I would love to see Jimmy turn his bucketloads of batting talent As you can see from the above run down of all the into big runs over the next few years. players, we have had some great individual performances. The culture we created in the Corrie Boss – after disappointment through injury team was spot on and this goes down to a lot of in 10/11, “Bossy” was like “a dog on heat” coming hard work at training and everyone pulling into the start of the season. Once the excitement together when needed. of playing cricket again had died down, he really started bowling with great rhythm and pace and I would like to thank Gilly for his hard work during created a lethal opening bowling partnership with the year. He put a lot of time into everyone‟s Munter. If his body can allow him to come back game and we are very grateful for it. Gilly has stronger in his 2nd and 3rd spells, then I am had a very successful first year as club coach and confident he can develop into a first class let‟s hope there are bigger and better things to cricketer. Just like Munter, I would love to see his come. I would also like to thank Davey Gardiner batting talent to convert into a lot more runs than for all his hard work. He is much appreciated by we have seen thus far. A great team man who all the boys around the sheds and now that we never leaves anything in the tank. have had the luxury of him looking after us, I really don‟t know what we would do without him. Last Ben Martin – Benny came across to Manly at the but not least, a big thanks to Geoff Rogers. start of the season with a lot of expectation. He Geoffro has been around 1st grade for longer than trained as hard as anyone through pre-season anyone and it is always a pleasure to boast the and showed glimpses of his class before injury best scorer in Sydney. These 3 guys have taken cruelly put a premature end to his season. I have a lot of weight off my shoulders as captain and I not seen as much talent in a bowler since Mark thank all of you for your efforts. It is much Cameron was at Manly and I genuinely believe if appreciated. Benny can get it right then the sky is the limit. He‟s a genuine swing bowler which is few and far It has been a pleasure to Captain 1st grade at this between these days and it is now up to him where club I love so much and I am honoured every time he goes with all the talent. I‟m looking forward to I walk out wearing my Manly baggy. As I approach watching him run in next season. my 16th year at the club, a lot has changed but one thing that continues to remain the same is the Mitch Coombs – the amount of talent I see in culture. We should never take for granted how “Coombsy” is genuinely quite hard to explain. He lucky we are to play for such a great club and this is young, strong, bowls with good pace and hits year that culture felt as strong as ever. the ball as hard and as clean as anyone in the club when he gets going. It is now up to Thank you to everyone at the club for another “Coombsy” what he wants to do with it. He great season. showed glimpses of brilliance in 1st grade this season but it is always hard for a young player to come from the country and succeed immediately. All the best, I really hope he makes the sacrifices required to reach his potential as a cricketer as I think he can Timmy FIRST GRADE AVERAGES 2011/12

In fact, it like to thank you for your tireless efforts and has been a season to remember and be proud of for dedication to this club over the pre-season and every member of the MWDCC. To be crowned Club season combined. It is no surprise to me that the Champions, with the average age of our playing club went so well this year with the foundations group only 22, is a truly remarkable achievement. I laid early by these two blokes. don‟t know if too many people around the Manly Warringah cricket community would have given us GILLY, you are one seriously passionate bloke much of a chance of achieving this considering the about the game of cricket and it shows in your number of senior players who moved on from last meticulous approach to training, selections and season, but credit must go to all the players this game day preparations.

There is no doubt the future looking forward to the off season mate.... my of this great club is in good hands. phone bill will be less than half during the winter months I‟m sure! From 3rd grade‟s point of view, we can hold our heads up high. Losing a semi-final is always BP, you are the perfect back up to Gilly and all disappointing, but when you can walk away from the the boys loved having you around this year. game knowing you have given it your all and fought Thank you for all your efforts and dedication to until the end, then there is not much to be ashamed the players. You should have been a Manly boy of. In the end we were beaten by Sutherland who, much sooner! nobody can deny, were deserved premiers this season. There were some fantastic individual achievements as well as some nail-biting wins Our team this season was extremely young and and some complete annihilations. There were inexperienced. After the departure of 15 players close to 25 players selected this season in 3rd from the top 3 grades from last season, we had to grade and all contributed in every way to our rely on players coming up through the grades from success. I feel that we have all learnt so much last year‟s successful 5th grade side and 4th grade about winning games of cricket and playing hard side, all of whom excelled themselves. Whether they but fair cricket. There are some bright futures played 2 games or 14, I am extremely proud of them amongst this group and it will be interesting to all. These players include 3 of last season‟s Green watch their progress over the coming seasons. Shield side in Ryan Farrell, James Boyer and Mickey Edwards.

As I have mentioned, there were about 25 odd DEAN READETT players who helped us to the Semis this season. I will try and name as many as possible here but if I Burt Rockley really stood up and showed what he have forgotten anyone, please forgive me. is capable of this year. Played all but 2 games in Arshdeep Verdi, Louis Anderson, Nick McLachlan, 3's and at times showed that he was really up for Ed Burgess, Michael Lindsay, Tom Kaye, Mickey a fight when we needed him the most. Probably Edwards, James Boyer, Lance Stewart, Ben Smith, not as many runs as he would have liked but Greg Marks, Sam Alexander, Luke Grant … thank there were 2 occasions that come to mind where you all for your efforts – you helped 3rd grade and a 50 and a 30 probably won us the game. Was a the club exceed many expectations. real good team man to have around and was always working hard on his own game to To the 12 players involved in the finals series... improve. Deano, you should be proud of your dedication and personal performances this JOEL MASON season.

Maso saved one of his best seasons until last. TAYLOR BEATTY Started like a house on fire with 150no, then 60 in 2's. I‟m sure he would have liked to stay in 2's all A great debut season for Taylor with plenty of season but, when he was with us, it was great to runs and wickets. Seemed to produce his best have his experience in our side. Joel won‟t be performances when we he was under lots of playing with us next year but I know he hasn‟t pressure from the opposition. His 7/18 against completely finished yet. Mate I really hope to take Hawkesbury was incredible and will never be the field with you again one day. All the best next forgotten by all who were there. Has lots of year. natural talent and a desire to perform at his best every single ball which certainly isn‟t a bad thing, SAM WEBBER but sometimes mate it won‟t always be perfect ... as long as you have a go, nobody will mind if it‟s I was very happy to have Sam in 3's but I do feel that not. Well done on a great first season! he got the rough end of the stick this year. Last season‟s 2nd grade keeper was always going to be a REECE HODGE massive bonus for us and he showed that with his tidiness behind the stumps and his ability to Reece really showed this season that he is an all- accumulate the runs and bat for long periods of time round talent. No longer just a bowler, Reece at the top of the order. A great work ethic that will showed us all that he is technically good enough see him become our next long-term 1st grade with the bat to make big scores. Something that keeper. he did on 2 occasions. Both times he hit the ball cleanly and showed real patience. Lost his ability ADAM GUMMER to swing the ball away from the batsmen like he did last year. This is something that probably Gumms‟ first half of the year was outstanding. Made needs to be worked on action wise in pre-season some big scores and was duly selected in 2's just Reece, but with your Rugby commitments, it‟s up after Christmas. Unfortunately he didn‟t quite kick on to you to find the time. like I‟m sure he would have liked. Nevertheless, Gumms‟ hard work and dedication to himself and his RYAN FARRELL teammates will see him kick on in the future. Knows his game well and, if he continues to plan his innings Ryan has the ability with bat and ball to become around that, he will score lots more runs in the higher a first grade cricketer. Can really get the ball to grades. A great team man to have in your side. turn and gave us glimpses of his talent with the bat in hand. Played every game that he was available for in threes and I hope he can look MITCH PUGH back on all those games and say that this season was a big learning experience for him, with Mitch made the jump from last year‟s 5's to 3's excellent figures with the ball for a 17 year old this year and showed everyone that he has the leggie. However, Ryan, I feel that you need to be technique and ability to become an outstanding more confident in yourself both on the field and in batsman in higher levels. After a scratchy start to the sheds. At times you can get a bit lazy and the season where he could easily make starts but distracted but, if your confidence can grow, these couldn‟t go on to that big score he was after, he little things will no longer be a part of your game. grew in confidence to become a real leader Well done this season Ryan, I‟m very proud of your efforts. MICHAEL VISSER Finally to the one bloke who "played" every game this season – ALLAN WRIGHT. Wrighty would Viss joined us after Christmas and instantly made a do anything for any member of this club, whether difference to our bowling attack. Straightaway he was in 3's or any other grade. He is a great clubman on the money and worked on just simply building and he deserves all the thanks that come his pressure over after over. It worked and his stats back way. Mate, I thank you personally and also on this up. Astonishingly our QF was his first ever finals behalf of all who played third grade this year for game for Manly and I know he was really all your efforts. You make our day so much disappointed that we didn‟t continue to the final. Has easier and having everything organised for us more ability with the bat than he shows on game day, makes my job easier. Always good for a laugh, something that, along with his fielding, I‟m sure he as you proved with your entrance to the podium will work on next season. Time to make yourself an on the Club Champs night ... one of the all time all-rounder like Reece did this year mate. No matter great moments that was Wrighty ... Priceless! where you bat, take the opportunity and push your way up the order otherwise chances may be limited. Also, thank you to our committee for all their hard work. Without you, this club just simply wouldn‟t GEOFF ISAACS be what it is.

Probably a year Shaggers would like to forget. Not a To our families, wives and girlfriends: thank you great season with the bat but a couple of time he for understanding that we love the game we play reminded us all just how good he is and why he has and the club we play for.

The monkey is off the back of Manly fourth grade! The birth of the Curators For as long I have been associated with the club, fourth grade always had amazing talent but could It was round eleven against UNSW and we came never produce the winning results but this year off for rain early in the match. Sensing the was different and it came down to the playing importance for us to play and win the match, the group finding that winning feeling and not letting boys were eager to play and, when the go of it through the whole season. We didn‟t start opportunity arose for us to get back on, the boys overly well losing our first two games in did everything in the power to get the field ready, convincing fashion, seeing us dead last after the with no help from the UNSW players. The first two rounds but we turned it around to reach eagerness of the young players was most evident the grand final which, in looking back, is an with James Boyer and co running into the amazing feat in itself. So what contributed to this groundsman‟s shed, only to bring out three turn around? As with any season, there are blowers to get the square dry. A game we went moments that define a season and a team. Here on to win and deserved to win. are a few that I feel contributed to our season: The outright loss against the NDs The return of Mick Lindsay and our first win Everyone hates losing and losing outright is no After four years away from the game, the club saw fun – it was the wakeup call we needed as a team the return of Michael Lindsay and he made an and changed our attitude for the rest of the immediate impression the playing group, leaving a season, an attitude that enabled us to win close player from the opposition shaking in his boots games at the back end of the season. and the team in stitches of laughter after the opposition player decided to run into Mick with his The win against Randy-Petes shoulder and Mick asked not to do that again in the politest manner he could. I don‟t think it was a Wins at the back end of the season are important fluke that this was the scene of our first win and, and this season, as the ladder was heavily as we sat around in the middle of the field after congested, a loss meant we could drop out of the the game, a belief came over the team that we top six and a win would keep us there for another could do something special and it was the first week. Only having 197 on the board, we knew we steps of turning our season around. had to bowl well and Randwick-Petersham got off to a good start with 96 without loss. With the task The introduction of the Library Set getting tougher, the team stepped up a gear, taking 10 for 82 for a great win. Talking in the field can set the tone and apply pressure in the field but in round four, a different Bowled Gainsford, Fielded Gainsford approach was applied with the introduction of the library set. This consisted of the head librarian, It was a game we should have won easily but calling for it with the next over met by utter things didn‟t go our way and we just didn‟t click. silence. At the conclusion of the over, an When Warren Evans aggravated a groin injury, explosion of noise and energy would circulate we sent out reinforcements … enter David around the team as we got ready for the next Gainsford. We found ourselves in the position over.

In all of those 4 losses, bar 1 20/20 position of 7th on the ladder. Ultimately it was a game, the team were in a winning position but combination of wet weather and missed failed to get over the line. Looking back now, opportunities that cost the team its chance of lessons were learned by everyone involved that finals cricket and the chance to defend title. That will hopefully be remembered in the future when said, the positives far outweigh these facts, with put in a similar position. many fine cricketers wearing the Manly cap for the first time, who are sure to be around the club for It is always a pleasure to see someone stand up many years to come. and grab their chance.

Run by Pathway Pat, Greg Boyer and supported by every branch of cricket on the The standout performance from the early rounds Peninsula, the steps through Saturday morning came from Louis Anderson.

The cricket shots, ridiculously timed to all parts of Pathway program will evolve and be refined over Snape Park. Once again, like SA, Louis was lost time, with both Manly and Warringah cricket to higher grades for the rest of the season and cashing in for years to come. rightly so.

Direct from the pathway and trials came Sam The results that would ultimately define the 5th Gainsford, Sam Alexander, Cody Bruce, Jacob Grade season occurred from Rounds 6-9. All Graham, Will Jonkers, Billy D’Arcy, Stu Wiblin, losses that just needed an ounce of luck to turn Cam Toomey, Josh Wigney, Zac Trewartha, the result around.

Unfortunately the side was out of Jordan Daly played when school commitments luck and out of form. From this point on, 5th Grade allowed. Some of these players moved up the were playing catch up to make the finals.

Brad Wilson was the Grade team for the season. The great thing was standout performer during this run of outs. Brad the communication between the clubs and the fact started the season late after injury, but cemented that the system was working. Players were being his place at once, with his pacy left arm swingers rewarded for good performance and learnt that to open the attack. Brad went on to take 13 runs/wickets were needed to stay in the team. wickets at the excellent average of 11 for the year in a great debut season for the club.
