Kirk (Dec.) Mr. J. Deller Mr. R. Duckett Mr. F. Thomas Mr. J. Blokkeerus (Dec.) Mr. J. Robertson (Dec.) Mr. G. Hosken Mr. F. Howard Mr. J. Mildenhall Mr. J. Grassby (Dec.) Mr. R. Patton Mr. P.

Howard Mr. N. Birthisel Mrs. D. Lillywhite Mr. K. Brennan The committee this year recommended Life Membership be awarded for the first time in many years. The committee’s recommendation for Life Membership this season was former committee member, club captain and champion player, Kevin Brennan. Kevin is certainly a worthy recipient of Life Membership of the Altona Cricket Club. Kevin debuted for Altona in the 1977-78 season and played 246 games. Kevin holds the record for the most catches (381), second most stump- ings (22), is 13th on the all-time games played list and made 2425 runs. He served on the committee for 5 years and was a member of the com- mittee in 1987-88, as was Kevin’s wife, Merryn (who was also a champi- on player at the club), when our 1st and 2nd XI’s both won the VSDCA West Group Premiership. He also captained the club in the 1991-92 and 1992-93 seasons. Remarkable achievements each and every one of them. The committee and members congratulate Kevin on his appointment and look forward to see- ing Kevin, Merryn, and their two daughters, Taylah and Jessica, down at the club in the com- ing seasons. Well done Brennox, this is a great achievement and one you should be proud of. We are proud to have you as a Life Member of our great club. 7 ALTONA CRICKET CLUB - 50th ANNUAL REPORT SEASON - 2012/13 SENIOR GRADE PREMIERSHIPS: FIRST ELEVEN PREMIERS W.A.F.D.C.A. 1965-66, 1967-68 V.J.C.A. 1968-69, 1972-73 V.S.D.C.A. 1987-88, 1996-97 RUNNERS UP V.J.C.A. 1973-74 V.S.D.C.A. 1978-79, 1980-81, 1999/00, 2006-07, 2008-09 SECOND ELEVEN PREMIERS W.A.F.D.C.A. 1966-67 V.J.C.A. 1972-73 V.S.D.C.A. 1987-88, 2010-11 RUNNERS UP W.A.F.D.C.A. 1967-68 V.S.D.C.A. 1983-84, 1988-89, 2001-02 THIRD ELEVEN PREMIERS V.S.D.C.A. 2009-10 RUNNERS UP W.A.F.D.C.A. 1967-68 V.J.C.A. 1968-69, 1970-71 FOURTH ELEVEN PREMIERS V.S.D.C.A. 1997-98 RUNNERS UP V.S.D.C.A. 1989-90, 1992-93, 1996-97, 1999-00 FIFTH ELEVEN PREMIERS W.A.D.C.A. 1993-94, 2008-09 LADIES ELEVEN (V.W.C.A.)

The season began with the appointment of joint non-playing coaches Mark Mitchell & Michael Davenport (both previously held the role of captain/ coach of the club in their own right). Then shortly after Jim Sheedy and Mick Johnson became involved giving ACC a wealth of knowledge and ex- pertise at training. Counterproductive to this was the club losing fifteen players to either retirement , relocating or to improve their cricket at Premier level. It was a great endorsement of ACC culture that five young President Neil Birthisel lads went to Premier grade cricket. It was also outstanding to see James Muirhead make his first class debut with the Commonwealth Bank Victorian Bushrangers! While the departure of 15 players placed a burden on our playing stocks it did not dent the new found enthusiasm the new coaches had brought to the club. Preseason was great with more numbers than expected. Although we were very young, to be honest we knew that our younger guy’s would have to step up a level sooner than anticipated therefore, it was acknowledged that our depth needed an in- jection. One thing people cannot say about ACC is that we don’t think outside the square and it was decided to bring two young Englishmen out for the season and set them up in a flat and assist them finding work. We felt it was a calculated risk compared to the cost some players put on their heads domestically, the credentials of the two lads were ok and we approached the season (as with every) with excitement. Suffice to say not all well laid plans turn to success we had a ‘bumpy’ season to say the least. For the first time in six years our 1st XI missed the finals, with no other senior grade team making them either! Our juniors were a little more successful with four sides making the finals but no one progressing to the grand final.
