MARIST BROTHERS CRICKET CLUB YEARBOOK 2012/13 95th Season Life Members Bob Toshak Herb Gahan Pat Leadbeatter Greg Youngberry Pat Milgate Michael J Gahan John Nielson Craig Hamshaw Stuart Fiedler Paul Gahan PRESIDENTS REPORT 2012/13 Another exciting season comes to an end, though for our members cricket was under played in the latter part due to the wet months that seem to have become the norm at this time of the year. Well done to all players this season. Congratulations to 3rd Grade for becoming Major and Minor premiers. 4th Grade were Minor premiers but just beaten in the final. 1st Grade and 2nd Grade both claimed 3rd place in the regular season, 1st grade were out played in their semi and 2nd Grade went on the win their grand final rather easy. Hooker League narrowly missed out on the finals, with a couple of close results being the difference. With the youth and their skills coming through the ranks and with the senior members I’m sure our club will continue to strive forward to be a force to watch out for in all grades for many years to come. It was also a good year off the field with the Marist Brothers annual fundraisers. The club saw a good crowd attend the dogs night, plus participation on The Les Hamshaw Memorial Bowls day. It was close on the cards but unfortunately we were defeated again, but we are getting closer to that victory. Also a new event for the club was the trivia night, which had a great response from all who attended and will hopefully become an annual event on the clubs calendar. This year we saw a few younger members join the executive, Brad Cleaver as Secretary of our club and the LDCA. Glen Lees continued as Treasurer and once again big thanks for head selector and player wrangler Craig Hamshaw. With the younger and more senior members working together I can see the club continue to grow. Thanks to everyone who assisted this year either with the raffle of meat trays on a Saturday night, fundraisers and club events, every little bit helps and was good to see so many assisting and working together to get the jobs done well. Thanks to our major club sponsor the Rous Hotel for another season, and also those businesses that sponsored our dog night. Without our sponsors our club wouldn’t be where it is and we thank you. Hope everyone had a good summer of cricket. Hope to see you all again next season for another summer of fun and laughs with cricket and a few beers.

The team this year had few seasoned veterans and was notably compiled by a wealth of young new players that were willing to make their mark in the top grade. Once again the season was one of missed opportunities. Injuries and washouts saw the team finish just outside of a finals birth in 6th position (underachieving given the team we had and what we were capable of on a good day). Once again our bowlers led the way for the season with Steve, Brendo and Jake all bowling consistently well throughout the season when they weren’t injured or punching holes in walls. The young guns Nick and Blake led the way with the bat, with Nick scoring his maiden Hooker League 100, hopefully plenty more are to come and Blake averaging over 50 for the season chipping in with a memorable 60no at Oakes oval where he demolished the bowling attack of Pottsville all around the ground. A positive feature of the season was that we turned in strong performances against most teams and were competitive against 3 of the top 4 teams narrowly losing to Byron and Cudgen and having Tintenbar on the ropes before rain forced the game to be abandoned. All this being said on some occasions we failed to deliver the killer blow when on top in a game which resulted in the result going the opposite way. Despite the disappointing end to the season where rain kept us off the playing field all the boys seemed to have fun along the way and usually had a laugh here or there mostly at someone else’s expense (the news of Steve Prosser breaking his hand from punching the wall in anger) or (Luke Cleaver not being able to throw the stumps down on countless occasions even though he was 2m away). The team spirit and morale throughout the season made it that of an enjoyable team to play amongst, with there being no sweeter reward than singing the team song VICTORIOUS lead by Luke Collings when we won. Cheers for the great season guys and hopefully next year will be the year of the Brethren. Luke Collings- Luke once again took over the reigns of captaincy for this season and was ready lead the team to success and lead from the front. Unfortunately for Luke no one told Ballina this as he was dismissed for a golden duck in the first game of the season. However from here things could only go up for Luke as he made runs consistently throughout the season and the ball seemed to follow him in the field as to take numerous catches whether he be keeping or in the outfield. Luke’s highlight of the season would have to be his innings against Pottsville in which he made 94 falling just 6 shy of a 100. Luke’s low of the season perhaps happened off the cricket field after Craig Hamshaw’s 50th where Luke thought that he was a security guard at the One and tried to pick a fight with a girl for pushing in front of him. All in all Luke had a solid season and led the team in everything he did whether it be on the field captaining or after winning a game singing the team song VICTORIOUS. Still hasn’t done anything stupid enough to warrant a nickname. Luke ‘Little Dick’ Cleaver- Luke returned to play for the Brethren this year after a few years away from the club. Luke always put in 100% into everything he did on a cricket field whether it be leading the warm up or just being a pest up under the grill of opposition batsman. He perhaps needs to calm down and take a relaxant before a game and not a V as he usually did and needs to work on his throwing accuracy.
