PRESIDENT’S REPORT It is with a great sense of pride that I can report that our club has completed another tremendously successful season.
To have our four senior teams contesting the finals, and the second and third elevens, winning their respective Premierships, was a marvellous achievement. We were the only club out of the 28 competing clubs, to have all teams in the finals, and the only club to win multiple Premierships.
We again featured prominently in the K.G Fewster Club Championship, finishing a very close runner up to the Williamstown Cricket Club.
My congratulations and thanks to Senior Coach, Brendan McGuinness; Assistant Coach , Andrew Splatt; and our four captains, Brent Warren, Matthew Naughtin, Andrew Donohue and Daryl Mendes for the tireless efforts, and commitment to ensuring that all players were provided with the opportunity to develop their talents, and the respective teams performed to their potential.
The season did present its challenges however. This season saw the withdrawal of the Cricket Victoria funding for VSDCA clubs. Despite this very significant funding shortfall, I am very pleased to report that the club has been able to return a profit for the season. My great thanks to our Treasury team of Michael Lawson and Rowland Williams for their vigilant monitoring of the club’s finances. In addition, the redevelopment of Scammell Reserve, required the third and fourth elevens to play their home games at Warrawee Park Oval on Sundays throughout the season. This placed a heavy burden on all involved, and I thank everyone for the extra time and effort that this arrangement required. As I have mentioned in my Community Partners Report, the redevelopment at Scammell will provide a magnificent facility for our third and fourth elevens
5 to enjoy for many years to come. My great thanks to the City of Monash for committing to the redevelopment, and for upgrading the turf wicket square at Warrawee Park Oval, which is now in excellent condition.
The Junior Program was again very capably coordinated by Gary Iverson. The junior program is the lifeblood of our club, and it is imperative that it continues to provide young players with the opportunity to participate in our great game, in a caring and enjoyable environment. To highlight the importance of the program, in the first eleven finals team this year, seven players had graduated from our junior program. My great thanks to all of the coaches, parents and supporters who contribute to the success of the junior program. I would also like to acknowledge the work of John Delaney our ‘In 2 Cricket Coordinator’, who ran the program on Saturday mornings pre-Christmas, and provided the opportunity for many young children, to experience the joys of the game for the first time.
The Under 15 Craig Carnival team was again coached by Ryan Chapple, ably assisted by Jordan Brambleby and Anthony Howes. All the boys played well, and had a wonderful learning experience over the carnival period. Special thanks to Rowland Williams for attending to the many administrative tasks required.
I must sincerely thank all of the members of the Oakleigh Cricket Club Committee for their tireless efforts in ensuring the club has the appropriate platform in place that is required for achieving sustained success. The board this season consisted of Vice President, Trent Shields; Treasurer, Michael Lawson; Geoff Latham, Secretary; Allan Stamps Secretary ACT; Bruce Dowland, Assistant Secretary; Gary Iverson, Junior Coordinator; Ivor Donohue; Steve King; Rob Warren and Marty O’Driscoll. A special thanks to Geoff and Rob for joining the board this season, your contributions were greatly appreciated.
As can be seen from the Financial Statements, the club’s finances are in a sound position. Our Treasury team of Michael Lawson and Rowland Williams do a superb job supervising the club’s accounts, and their efforts are much appreciated.
I thank the Social and Player Sponsorship Committees, chaired by Trent Shields for the significant roles they have played in contributing to our financial wellbeing. A particular thank you to James Benn and Sam Jones for driving the Player Sponsor Program.
Thursday night Splatty Meal Deals continues to be a weekly highlight. Thanks again to Glenda and Peter for the remarkable commitment you both make to the club. Great thanks to Steve King and Daniel Croft for conducting the fundraising activities on Thursday nights.
As usual the club has had a busy social calendar. Highlights were the Season Launch, the Trivia Night, the Casino Night, the Craig Presentation Night, and the Junior and Senior Presentation Nights. My thanks to all of the members of the social club who organised these events.
I must also acknowledge the generous contribution to the club’s finances made by our two coterie groups, the Lobster Club and the Solid Oaks. This year under the leadership of Neil Croft, the Lobster Club membership has reached record levels, and thanks to another very successful season by the first eleven, over $10,000 was raised. As always, members enjoyed a sumptuous feast provided by Sue Burke at the conclusion of the season, in addition to the
6 weekly reports provided by Neil. The Solid Oaks coterie continues to contribute to funding for capital works programs, and I thank them sincerely for the generous donations.
As I have mentioned in the Community Partners Report, our club is blessed to have a large number of loyal and generous sponsors. Without their significant financial support, the club simply could not operate in the manner it does. I sincerely thank all of our sponsors, and I urge all members to patronise their businesses. Please refer to the Community Partners Report to gain a detailed insight into the range of our club and player sponsors. The club is very fortunate to have positive relationships with our major community partners, in the City of Monash, the Oakleigh Carnegie RSL, the Oakleigh Bowls Club, ther Rotary Club of Oakleigh, and the Oakleigh Historical Society. Details of these relationships are also highlighted in the Community Partners Report.
The leadership of the VSDCA and ISEC do a wonderful job in administering the senior and junior competitions the club participates in. To Jack Sheehan, President of the VSDCA, and Ian Giles, President of ISEC, many thanks to you and your executives, for the enormous amount of work you do for your respective associations, and for cricket in general.
I would like to acknowledge the crucial role the umpiring fraternity plays in our great game. I thank Jim Earl and Paul Jensen for their time and effort they put into ensuring our games are umpired in a capable manner. I encourage all members and supporters to consider taking up umpiring, as we look to expand the numbers of umpires on the panel.
A special mention to our wonderful scorers; Paul Tolson, Richard Blaze and Shannon Kirkby. It is a very demanding job, and all the players and club members appreciate your efforts greatly.
I wish to thank all the countless volunteers who selflessly devote their time and efforts to ensure our great club functions in the way it does. Without your efforts, the successes the club has achieved simply would not be possible.
To Life Member, Ian Dudley, who has produced this magnificent Annual Report, congratulations and many thanks for the countless hours you have devoted to this task. It is very much appreciated.
Congratulations to all the award winners for this season, whose exploits are described within the Annual Report.
It is an honour and a privilege to be President of the Oakleigh Cricket Club, and I thank you all for your friendship and support.
Go the Oaks
Peter Webb President
7 SECRETARY’S REPORT It is an absolute honour, to present on behalf of the committee, the 137th Annual Report of the Oakleigh Cricket Club Incorporated for the 2016-2017 season.
It has become a regular occurrence now at Oakleigh to see a very strong presence throughout the XI’s deep into finals and this year our teams certainly did not disappoint. This season all four sides not only saw a finals berth (the only club throughout the VSDCA to do so), but due to an Oaks Day in the first round of the finals, all four XI’s made semi finals for an opportunity at the big dance. With the second eleven and third eleven making their respective Grand Finals (also the only club to do so), the Club was delighted to have both flags return to the Val Holten rooms after a short lived break. A special mention to the third eleven going through the whole season undefeated, a spectacular effort from Andrew Donohue and the boys. The Club Championship was tightly contested this year as we lead the pack for most of the season, only to be over taken at the final hurdle by Williamstown Cricket Club.
Unfortunately, with the new format of the Twilight Twenty/20 competition being a knockout competition, we didn’t get to see much action on Tuesday nights due to an early loss.
The 2016-2017 season was a highly successful one making the efforts of the playing group and coaches evident, and it should come as no surprise that the committee has rewarded coach Brendan McGuinness with a contract extension.
As Oakleigh’s Junior Program continues to thrive, the senior club continues to enjoy the rewards. A very talented group of young men were involved in the Acorn Squad this season which saw many new faces introduced to senior cricket with an abundance of success. Run extremely successfully by Gary Iverson, our junior system is as strong as ever and each year seems to be able to take seemingly impossible steps forward. The results of our junior teams will be detailed later on in the report, but the coaches and volunteers deserve huge congratulations for their time and dedication to the junior program. I look forward to following the developments of our juniors throughout their cricketing careers.
Our off season last year was not full of recruiting star players, but through a strong link with the Stockport Georgians Cricket Club after having had many players make the trip to England for a season, we had the privilege of hosting a former player of theirs for the season in Simon Normanton. Credit very much to Peter Webb and Brendon McGuinness for their tireless efforts in sorting out Simon’s visa as he arrived not long after Round One, ready to fire for Round Two. ‘Normy’ fitted in instantly to the group and became a crucial player very quickly for the First XI, going home with a few awards from Presentation Night. It was an honour to have Simon at our club and we would be very lucky if we were able to have him back for another season in the future. A mention must go out to Simons host families over the stay, the Splatt’s, the Naughtin’s and the Croft’s. We are lucky to have such supportive families around our club and this was something these families took in their stride and we thank them very much for doing so.
The captains of each eleven should be very proud of their efforts this season, leading their teams through long and successful seasons. Congratulations to Matthew Naughtin and Andrew Donohue on their flags, with three for the great Matthew Naughtin now at the Second XI level. Commiserations to Brent Warren and Darryl Mendes, they lead extremely well all year and were
8 unfortunate not to bring home a flag each for Oakleigh, but no doubt that success is again not far around the corner for the First and Fourth XI’s.
Selection this season was also a very tough task and it cannot have been before long that club legend, Jarrod Travaglia, regretted taking up the role of Chairman of Selectors. The push for selection in all grades was tough with great performances through all teams and I commend all parties of the selection committee on a tough year at the selection table.
With the administration this year, I joined an already very strong team as Administration Secretary along with Rob Warren as Facilities Co-ordinator. Julie Harrick continues to have a positive impact joining the Cricket and Netball clubs.
Special award winners:
For the second year of the Allan Stamps Award for Outstanding Service to the Club, this was awarded to Gary Iverson for his substantial contributions with the junior program and sponsorship.
Stephen King was awarded the Lionel Dickson Award for services to fundraising and his great work behind the bar. He worked tirelessly to gain major sponsors for the club providing many benefits, and has greatly reduced the impact from the lost revenue from Cricket Victoria.
The DW Nicoll Award for Oakleigh Cricket Club’s most promising junior was awarded to Elliot Fabris. We look forward to closely watching his development and continuing success – well done Elliot.
Life Membership was presented to Glenda Splatt. Glenda has been an integral part of the club for a long time, from a young age to this season where she supported both her sons playing in the First XI. This can be seen from her past contributions to the committee and more present day cooking the Splatty Meal Deal after every Thursday night training. During the season Glenda can be found most weekends supporting either Michael or Andrew with her adorable companion Cocoa and sometimes Peter. It’s a massive effort from Glenda when she hasn’t had an impact on the field but has made a significant difference off it.
Due to Scammell Reserve being upgraded we were unable to use that ground which meant the third and fourth elevens had to move their home games to Warrawee Park on Sundays. This meant extensive use of the pitch almost to the point of overuse. To accommodate, the council changed the turf on the wicket table to couch grass as well as adding an extra pitch to the table. To ensure the condition of the pitch remained, we were unable to host any country week games.
Those of you reading this report care for our great club and can contribute just by doing the small things and let the committee do the big things: Feel free to contact myself at any stage to see where you can help out.

COACH’S REPORT A club with a prolonged period of success can fall in the trap of expecting results without being prepared to do the hard work. Not the Oakleigh Cricket Club.
This season we won a 2nd XI and 3rd XI premiership, and were the only club in the 28 club VSDCA competition to have all four XI’s play finals. A truly remarkable season for the Purple & Gold.
We assembled at the Val Holten rooms back in July in preparation for the 2016/17 season. There was a real appetite for success amongst the group and the desire to further assert ourselves as the benchmark of the competition.
Despite the loss of VSDCA legends and premiership heroes, Jarrod Travaglia and Mick Allen, our leadership group was bolstered by the return of former 2nd XI Captain Matthew Naughtin from Queensland and 3rd XI Captain Andrew Donohue. The arrival of young guns Joshua Knight, Nick Thurgood, Connor Byrne and Ash Khullar, as well as the return of Elliot Fabris to the squad, gave us further depth for the season ahead.
We also welcomed Simon Normanton from Didsbury CC in the UK. Simon has strong connections with a number of Oakleigh Cricket Club players from his time at Stockport- Georgians CC, and proved to be an excellent addition to the club both on and off the field.
Our pre-season training moved to the brand new facilities at TNF in Oakleigh this season. TNF is arguably the best facility in the state, and is conveniently less than 500m from the club! The group was refreshed, enthusiastic and focused – preparing and progressing well for the practice matches scheduled for September.
Unfortunately, inclement weather put an end to any hope of practice matches in the country, but we did manage an intraclub match at the all-synthetic oval in Point Cook as well as hit outs against Kingston Hawks and Riddells Creek. Despite the lack of opportunity to get on turf, our sides were primed and ready for the season ahead.
The 4th XI had an excellent season, all while developing numerous junior cricketers coming through the Oakleigh ranks. Led by Daryl Mendes, the 4th XI reached the semi-finals before bowing out to eventual premiers, Bayswater. As in previous seasons, the combination of youth and experience bodes well for the 4th XI, and all players should be exceptionally proud of their efforts.
The biggest positive from the 4th XI has been the development of Jordy Brasher, Liam Sherlock, Harry Stanhope, Sam Vance, Luke Doherty and Christian ver der Merwe – it’s both exciting and scary at the same time! These boys all have a serious amount of talent and I’m really excited to see how they progress over the coming seasons.
While our young Oaks continue to develop in the lower grades, the support and leadership of the senior players can’t be understated. Dharmesh Patel, Ryan Chapple, Dave Anselmi, Gary Iverson, and new recruit Matthew Robertson have provided a foundation for success and development in the lower eleven – ensuring a procession of talented young cricketers vying for
11 selection in higher grades. While it was disappointing to bow out in the semi-finals, all players should be exceptionally proud of what was achieved this season.
Last season the 3rd XI failed to qualify for finals. Fast forward 12 months later and the 3rd XI are the undefeated Premiers.
The 3rd XI is a side brimming with raw talent and confidence. To see such dominant performances week in and week out is a credit to the application and commitment of all players. I couldn’t be more proud of the way this group went about their cricket.
Congratulations to our 3rd XI Captain, Andrew Donohue, and the senior players who supported him throughout the season. Doc led by example with the bat, and the bowling unit somewhat mirrored the 1st XI in years gone by. The attack, consisting of Matt Stamps, Trent Shields, Anthony Howes, Ben Hogan, Aaron Lund, and rising star Zach Raymond was the envy of the competition. Sadly, the poor spinners never got a look in!
Congratulations to all 3rd XI players on a stellar season. I’m extremely proud of what you achieved, and the progress you’ve made. I’m excited to see what the future holds as you push for selection in the higher grades.
It was a case of ‘back to the future’ for the 2nd XI – with the very timely return of Life Member and 2nd XI Premiership Hero (and skipper), Matthew Naughtin. After suffering a heart-breaking 9 run loss in last season’s semi-final to Malvern, the 2nd XI were keen to atone for last season. The injection of Josh Knight, Nick Thurgood, Ash Khullar and Satvik Verma, combined with the continued development of Geoff Latham, Luke Rhodes, Matt Price, Miles Fabris, James Benn and Daniel Shaw, meant that the 2nd XI had an enormous pool of talent at its disposal.
The consistency of our senior players set the foundations for success in the 2nd XI. Luke Rhodes was a standout with the bat this season, peeling off 404 runs @ 36.7, ably supported by Mark Harrison (329 @ 65) and Matt Naughtin (344 @ 24.6). All three were well supported by Shane Townsend and Andrew Splatt in the middle-order.
The bowling unit looked somewhat different this season with Nick Thurgood, Josh Knight and Geoff Latham spearheading the attack. These three bowlers took 31, 27 and 23 wickets respectively – a fantastic return for all three players this season.
The performance of the 2nd XI and 3rd XI this season is sure to have the OCC supporters dreaming of another decade of domination. The amount of talent in this group is unmatched in the VSDCA, and serves as an ominous sign to our opposition. I’m really excited to see these boys progress and earn a permanent spot in the 1st XI.
12
As reigning premiers, the 1st XI carried the tag well. ‘Back-to-Back’ is a feat that has eluded the 1st XI to date, and the squad were more determined than ever to create their own piece of history.
Our pre-season preparation was sound, and there were no signs of complacency amongst the group. This season we saw signs of transition, with six players making their 1st XI debut – the most in recent history. It was really pleasing to see young guns Elliot Fabris, Luke Rhodes, Geoff Latham and Daniel Shaw make their debuts. All four players have enormous ability, and will no doubt form the nucleus of the 1st XI in the years to come.
We managed to negate a tough fixture to start the season with victories over Brunswick and Kew, and establish ourselves in familiar territory at the top of the ladder. Despite a loss against Caulfield in Round 4, our form in the first half of the year was sound and made it to Christmas 6- 1. We’d set a foundation on which we could build on in the New Year.
While we hadn’t executed the perfect game up to this point, we could sense things were starting to click. The side grew with confidence as the rounds went by, and we reached finals in second position on the ladder.
Our finals campaign was as good as I can recall. We executed with bat and ball extremely well over the first two finals, however we came up short in the semi-final - losing to eventual premiers Caulfield. We played a really good game of cricket – we were just beaten by a better side on the day. I have no doubt the loss will serve as motivation to work harder and keep improving next season.
I want to take this opportunity to congratulate Elliot Fabris on a standout season. A product of the junior program, Elliot debuted in Round 1 this season and made the opening spot his own – peeling off 329 runs @ 25.64. An outstanding performance in his first full season of first eleven cricket.
We were also privileged to acknowledge three personal milestones for three of our club’s greatest servants – Ben Pinwill, Daniel Junkeer and Michael Splatt. This season, Ben played his 250th 1st XI game for the club, Daniel played his 200th 1st XI game for the club, and Michael played his 150th 1st XI game for the club. All three are outstanding players and people, and we’re extremely fortunate to call them our own. Congratulations to all 3 players, and all the best to DJ and Jex as they chase down Spikes record!
Our great club wouldn’t be what it is without the dedication and support of a number of members and volunteers. In particular, I’d like to thank;
Peter Webb and the Oakleigh CC Board for your commitment and support this season. Webby, I don’t know how you do it, but your passion and energy for our club is second to none. I can’t thank you enough for everything you do around the club to make it the benchmark of the competition.
Andrew Splatt for your support as Assistant Coach this season. You are a fantastic coach, and were ready and willing to help everyone whenever you can. You are a huge asset to the club, and I hope that you and I can continue to build on what we started this season. Thank you for all your hard work.
13 Brent Warren, Matthew Naughtin, Andrew Donohue and Daryl Mendes for leading your respective XI’s. Thank you for your time, effort and patience in developing this group of players. I think we’re finally getting the hang of this selection business…long may it continue!
Jarrod Travaglia for your role as Chairman of Selectors. It’s a critical role that no-one wants to do, but you stepped in to the role knowing it was in the best interests of the club. Thanks for being a voice of reason, and supporting me in my role as Coach.
Sir Paul Tolson. I’m running out of superlatives to describe just how valued your contribution is to the Oakleigh Cricket Club. You’re an outstanding individual who shares our passion for success. Without doubt the best Team Manager in Subbies.
Simon Normanton – thanks for this season Normy. You really injected some fun in to the club, and I’m rapt that I now know the geometric shape of a Pringle. I hope you got plenty from your summer here in Australia and hope to see you back next season.
Peter & Glenda Splatt. Both of you personify everything Oakleigh Cricket Club stands for. Our club culture is the result of your efforts to bring us together each and every Thursday night. Thanks for everything.
Kenny & Monash City Council. Thanks for your efforts in preparing the training decks and providing us with the excellent facilities that we enjoy every week.
The Oakleigh CC family - parents, wives, partners, girlfriends, members and supporters. Our success is largely attributed to your support (and understanding) throughout the summer. Thank you for the sacrifices you make that allow us the opportunity to enjoy the sport we love.
To my wife Jana. I couldn’t do what I do without you. Thank you for your encouragement, positive energy and unwavering support. I’m so grateful to have you inspiring me to be the best I can be.
Oakleigh Cricket Club is a truly extraordinary club - full of enormously talented cricketers, passionate supporters and dedicated volunteers. We should all be extremely proud of what we achieved this season.
Success does not happen without hard work…and unless we continue to work hard, other clubs will close the gap. Our spot at the top of the VSDCA will remain ours if we’re prepared to work harder than our opposition. The best get better.
Enjoy the break and I’ll see you on track – fit, firing and ready to go for season 2017/18.
Brendan McGuinness Senior Coach Oakleigh Cricket Club

COMMUNITY PARTNERS REPORT The club is extremely fortunate to have strong support from many generous and loyal community partners, who play a vital role in securing our present and long term viability
Our most important community partner continues to be the City of Monash, and we thank them greatly for their provision of the first class facilities that we enjoy. This season the City of Monash has redeveloped the Scammell Reserve turf wicket square, and outfield. In addition, a new pavilion is being built, with a completion date of May 2018. The council also laid new roll out couch wickets, at Warrawee Park Oval, which have proved to be a great success. The council has also recently provided new covers for both of our ovals, which should further enhance the wicket facilities at both venues.
The Oakleigh Historical Society featured an exhibition on the Oakleigh Cricket Club from June to October 2016. The exhibition was a wonderful success, and I thank President, Helen Gobbi, and Ian Westman for their outstanding work in creating the display.
The club continues to develop our relationship with the Oakleigh Bowling Club. We had the very successful Trivia Night at the Bowls Club, as well as the Junior Presentation Night, which is always one of the highlights of the season.
The Oakleigh and Carnegie RSL, and the cricket club have had a close relationship for many years. This past season has seen both clubs working in tandem to minimise the safety concerns of the RSL members. These discussions have also involved the City of Monash. I also would like to thank the RSL for inviting me to lay a wreath on behalf of the Oakleigh Cricket Club at the recent Anzac Day Dawn Service at the Oakleigh Cenotaph.
Revenue from our community sponsors has increased this season, due to the arrival of new sponsors, and increased revenue from some of our existing sponsors.
The Rotary Club of Oakleigh, again provided the club with very significant funding, as a primary partner. thanks to Danny Petrie, President of Oakleigh Rotary, and his Board of Management for their ongoing support of the club.
Thanks to the Murrumbeena Community Bank, your financial support of the club is much appreciated, and I urge all members and supporters to use the bank’s services. Sue Foley and Dennis Tarrant have been great supporters of the club, and we look forward to a long partnership with the bank.
Our relationship with the Rosstown Hotel continues to thrive. The club is very fortunate to have such a wonderful facility to host our major club functions, and we thank manager, Chris Thomas for his generosity and support.
Allfloors Carpet Gallery, has once again continued their ongoing financial support, and we thank Gary, Glenise and Jarrod Travaglia for their magnificent loyalty.
Dean Phelan from Oakleigh Mortgage Choice, continued his sponsorship into a 14th season, a remarkable effort from a fantastic Oakleigh person and business, thank you Dean and Mortgage Choice.
15 Rohan Blackburn from Oakleigh Signarama, continued to cater for all of our signage requirements, and honour board refurbishments. Rohan’s generosity is much appreciated, and Signarama’s work is always of the highest standard.
Gary Iverson, from the East Bentleigh, Bentleigh and Tooronga Bakers Delight stores, continues to support the club both financially, and through the provision of his store’s magnificent products. Many thanks to a great clubman.
Spring Osteo Clinic again provided very generous financial support to the club, in addition to maintaining the health of some of our ageing warriors. Many thanks to Nick Harrison for your ongoing support.
Ray White Real Estate Oakleigh has again provided valuable financial assistance to the club, and I encourage all members to use Ray White’s services for your real estate needs.
Kookaburra Sport has been a long term sponsor of Victorian Cricket, and we greatly appreciated the very generous supply of balls at the beginning of the season.
Daniel and Jenny Junkeer, from Junkeer Business Consultants have supported the club for many years, and we thank them for their generous sponsorship this season, of both the club, and in the Player Sponsor Program.
To Life Members Bill Robertson from Elite School Photography, and Richard Blaze from Blazeart, many thanks to you both for your incredibly generous provision of services and products, that you both have willingly offered for many years. You are both magnificent servants of the club.
This season a number of new sponsors, have provided much appreciated support to the club.
Atherton Road Podiatry, under the management of Chalerm Tuantab, have been incredibly supportive of the club, and I am sure we will have a very positive long term relationship. Along with Ray White, Atherton Road Podiatry have also signed on as long term sponsors of the Oakleigh Netball Club, further consolidating the link between the two organisations.

FINANCIAL REPORT - TREASURER’S REPORT I am pleased to be able to report that Oakleigh Cricket Club has had a successful season financially - achieving a $10,000 profit - to complement the on-field performance where all four senior teams competed in the finals, with two of those winning the premiership.
Significant developments over the year included:
The transfer of over $16,000 from the day-to-day operating bank account to various term deposit accounts – utilising the financial acumen of Ivor Donohue and Rowland Williams.
Members subscriptions were kept at the 2013/14 rate, netting $18,400 for seniors & $13,380 re juniors.
Income for the year fell by $24,000 with the cessation of the $9,000 VCA Grant, and loss of our one-off AGL $5,000 “sponsorship”, being major contributors.
The First XI couldn’t complete the magnificent (but almost impossible) double of a flag and T20 Premiership this season, meaning no $3,000 in prizemoney.
Sponsorship revenue continued to contribute significantly to our overall results. We were fortunate again to receive sponsorship from our supporters Rotary Club of Oakleigh, Bendigo Bank (Murrumbeena Branch), Rosstown Hotel, Allfloors Carpet Gallery, Mortgage Choice Oakleigh, Ray White Oakleigh and Spring Osteo Clinic. Thanks to all of these organisations - plus Steve (Irish) King and Trent Shields - for generating a number of new sponsors including Atherton Road Podiatrist.
Thanks, also to players and their sponsors for raising an additional $1,000 compared to 2015/16.
Profit from Social Activities fell by approximately $4,000 as attendances were down at the two fund raising functions held. Thanks to those who attended the Trivia & Casino nights, and to those responsible for assisting in organising the functions. A summary showing the results of these activities is included with this report.
Overall Merchandise Sales resulted in a loss - caused by a write-off of over $1,700 from the bankruptcy of BLK (hopefully they may trade-on & eventually fulfil our order) - and the write-off of obsolete stock of old style clothing.
Refreshment profits were down by $2,000 caused by a number of factors: no T20 home matches; Sunday home games for the third and fourth elevens leading to fewer players staying back to socialise with the opposition; many younger players in the Senior Elevens
On the positive side, thanks to club members for donating all prizes re the Christmas raffle as it netted $2,070.
Special thanks to Neil Croft for organising & recruiting club members and supporters to the Lobster Club – which again raised over $8,000 – due to the first eleven winning an admirable 11 games. Members enjoyed a sumptuous dinner in April, as a reward. Long may the Lobster Club continue!
19 In light of the reduced revenue detailed above - expenses were tightly monitored, dropping by approximately $16,000 – thanks to the finance team of Roly, Ivor and Irish.
The major component was Coaching/Professional Player expenses decreasing by $14,000 from a combination of not engaging a professional player, and not paying Premiership and T20 bonuses.
As a result of W. A. Scammell Reserve being unavailable, and the D.W. Nicoll Reserve not being used for Under 17 games, Ground Rental expense fell by $5,000.
Inclement weather during the season necessitated a greater use of the TNF indoor Training Facility; consequently, fees rose by $1,700 as it was decided not to charge players.
Umpire fees rose $3,000 as 2 umpires were appointed for the Sunday games mentioned above – this won’t happen in future, at least – fees were raised by $10 which in effect cost the club an extra $40 per day - and umpires were appointed to all under 17 games this season.
Another one-off (but very welcome) expense, was incurred replacing old/missing premiership flags.
Finally, a number of matches became one day games due to the bad weather, requiring white balls instead of the less expensive red balls, and the type of balls required for Under 17 games was altered to Tuf Pitch instead of Kooka Colt, an increase of $14.50 per ball.
Considerable discipline and effort from all areas of the Oakleigh Cricket Club, the administration, players, parents and supporters will be needed to monitor and control expenditure as we venture into a competitive future. Continued development of our outstanding junior players & potential recruitment of a professional player, should keep Oakleigh Cricket Club around the top of the VSDCA ladder.
Ending on a positive note, a $6,000 grant (for the sole purpose of making improvements to training facilities) has just been won by the club!

27 FIRST ELEVEN REPORT Though the ultimate success wasn’t achieved it was still a successful season for the Oakleigh 1st XI. We managed to lose to a very good side in the Semifinal and showed the competitive spirit which took the game very close to the end of their innings, unfortunately it wasn’t enough, but to see how that side dispatched the opposition in the Grand Final it was a sincerely reputable effort by our boys. Our year was littered with interest as Sam took over early duties of the captaincy after a Practice match hamstring injury ruled the captain out for a few weeks. He did an amazing job and by the time I was able to come back, the side had only lost 1 game, and had blooded a few youngsters including Daniel Shaw and Elliot Fabris. It was a great season to blood a few youngsters, we ended up with a few debutants such as Luke Rhodes, Geoff Latham, Elliot Fabris while also getting more games into other up and comers such as Daniel Croft and Matt Price. Simon Normanton was an exceptional addition to our side as the young man from the UK was handy with both the bat and the ball. He was consistent with his batting very rarely giving his wicket away and his bowling was a huge advantage for us as his control was able to dictate to other batsmen in the competition. We wish him well back in the UK. Some outstanding individual efforts throughout the year with Brendan McGuinness making a fine 124no against St Bernard’s; Sam Jones’ 90 against Caulfield in the Semi final was proof of what the man is capable of and a dangerous player for years to come; Simon Normanton’s 91 against Brighton was clearly his best innings of the year, his best bowling came in the St Bernard’s game collecting 5/70; Elliot Fabris in his first year of 1st XI cricket not only solidified the opening spot as his own but compiled a healthy 359 runs for the season. Off the field the club gives a wealth of support to our team and I would like to thank the following people on behalf of the 1st XI Paul Tolson for scoring all season Wendy and Peter Webb for the afternoon teas Peter and Glenda Splatt for the Thursday night dinners And the supporters who turn up week in week out to watch us. Finally I would like to thank those that have supported me over the last two seasons as captain and the last seven as a player. I will not be captain next season and it is likely I have played my last game for Oakleigh after 7 seasons. I chose to come to Oakleigh because I wanted to play for a successful club and play in Finals and win premierships, I have had the pleasure of doing both over my seven year journey. I leave Oakleigh certain that the next generation have it in their hands to continue this club’s legacy and that there is enough talent and desire within the club to continue Oakleigh’s success.

31 SECOND ELEVEN REPORT This year, as I reflect on a successful second eleven season in which we won the premiership, I think of what Luke Beveridge said when addressing the Western Bulldogs prior to their momentous grand final victory. He spoke about a sporting team being like a band, not everyone can be the lead singer, but everyone has a role to play, if we don’t all know our roles, and play our roles, then while there might be some spectacular individual performances, the end result is pretty poor. This year I was lucky enough to captain a side in which everyone knew their roles and everyone played their roles, we weren’t a team of superstars, but together, when we all played our roles, we were a super team.
What I think was most impressive about the second xi season is that it wasn’t just the eleven players who took the field on grand final day that contributed to the outcome. With the introduction of players under the age of 19, such as Satvik Verma, Nick Thurgood, Josh Knight, Connor Byrne and Ash Kullar, combined with the continued development of Matt Price, Daniel Shaw, Luke Rhodes, James Benn, Miles Fabris and Geoff Latham, the second eleven had a very youthful feel throughout the season. This youthful enthusiasm was assisted, some might say tempered, by some older heads like Mark Harrison, Shane Townsend, Andrew Splatt, Jordan Brambelby (old head on young shoulders), Trent Shields and Ben Hogan. It was the combination of the youthful enthusiasm and older heads that made captaining this side so enjoyable and lead to the ultimate result of being premiers. Like any good band, when one of the members was not available, another one stepped up and performed their role. All of the players mentioned (and some I have probably forgot) played vitally important roles throughout the season.
I’ve always said that the second eleven is not only about winning premierships (which are great don’t get me wrong) but is also about providing opportunities for our players to develop and play first eleven cricket. This year we saw Daniel Shaw, Luke Rhodes and Geoff Latham make their first xi debuts and all show that they can match it at that level. We saw Nick Thurgood and Josh Knight have break out seasons in which they both became front line second xi bowlers, we saw Satvik Verma have a break out season with the bat, first eleven cricket is only just around the corner for these three. We also saw Matt Price and Jordan Brambelby continue to develop as first eleven cricketers, and it is only a matter of time before Miles plays a regular part in the first eleven. What I think this means is that as well as winning a premiership, we have been able to help develop the future of this great club.
Lastly, I would like to thank a few people who have assisted me throughout the year. To Webby and the board, thank you for allowing me to captain the side again. To JT, BJ, Rabs, Doc and Daz, thanks for your help and guidance as members of the selection committee, it’s not always
32 easy, and at times we are in heated disagreement, but we all want the same thing, and that is what is best for the club. To Andew and Towny, thank you for assisting me on the field and for being sounding boards throughout the season. To Richard Blaze, thank you for coming out of retirement and assisting me with the team manager/scoring duties. You are one of the main reasons that I am at this club, over 20 years after you picked me in a Hatch side, so thank you. And last, but certainly not least, to my wife Jane and daughter Molly, thank you for allowing me the indulgence of not just playing cricket but captaining. It takes up a considerable amount of time and while I love it, it is time that I miss out on with my family, so thank you for your ongoing support and love.

37 THIRD ELEVEN REPORT After the disappointment of being the only Oakleigh team not to take part in finals last season the thirds were keen to join the party this year and bounced back in the most emphatic fashion. We went through the season undefeated, winning the flag and eliciting comparisons with the famed 3rd XI teams of the Nicholson Era.
Despite being undefeated we actually started the season with a loss: the loss of our home ground at Scammell Reserve. Our home games (like those of the fourths) were shifted to Warrawee Park on Sundays, wreaking havoc with selection and availabilities.
But I believe the benefits outweighed any negatives. Playing at Oakleigh’s atmospheric and picturesque main ground gave the team a taste of playing in the higher elevens on a ground that feels like a cricket ground should (and who doesn’t want to play cricket next to a cemetery?) reminds you it’s not all about runs and wickets!
The Sunday games also enabled us to support our club mates playing on Saturdays and likewise many of the other elevens came down and watched, supported and chatted which engendered a great club atmosphere.
On field pre-Christmas saw comfortable wins against Endeavour Hills (Hogan 6-10 on debut), Moorabbin (T20: Howes 2-17, Burke 2-21, Verma 40 no), Caulfield (Burke 58 no & 3-25, Howse 84 no off 37 balls with four 4’s and nine 6’s) Noble Park (outright, Verma 52, Stamps 43, 3-5 & 6- 22) and Ormond (Braganza 69 no carried bat) along with two draws against stiffer opposition in Mount Waverley and Croydon (Benn 60, Donohue 58, O’Keefe 49) due to weather intervention. We were winning well but against opposition of questionable quality.
The post-Christmas games were against teams expecting to play finals and we built form and consistency, gathered momentum and by the end we were destroying good teams. Good wins against Elsternwick (Hogan 4-27, Raymond 2-9, , Donohue 69 , O’Keefe 62), Balwyn (Byrne 3- 26, Lund 4-16) and perhaps our most polished and disciplined pre-finals performance against Bayswater (Verma 91, Howes, 58 (in a last wicket partnership of 85 with Lund) and 4-32 off 16) were followed by a somewhat incident packed win against Box Hill (Donohue 69, Stamps 36, 3- 15 & 2-24, Shields 2-6, House 4-16 & Raymond 2-11). Victories against Brighton (Byrne 71, Stamps 51 opening! Who let him do that?) and Malvern (Byrne 54, Stamps 3-16, Lund 3-27) saw us finish the home and away season without a loss and playing our best cricket of the year. We’d earned the double chance and “home ground” advantage, so naturally we played all our finals games away.
First up was Balwyn (BCC 86, Stamps 4-36, Howes 4-16, OCC 1-98 Burke 33 no Lund 34 no at no. 3.) followed by a semi-final out at Bayswater where OCC’s 235, (Darcy 41, Miles a lovely
38
88) was far too much for Bayswater (71 all out, Trent was sublime with 9 overs 7 maidens 3-6). And so it was off to Malvern City Oval for the Grand Final and fittingly I thought we saved our most complete, rounded, grittiest game for the one that mattered the most. I could write a whole other report on the grand final alone as it is the game of which I am most proud of our team as there were important contributions from everyone. Miles (44) top scored for the game, John O’Keefe’s 16 was his best and most important innings of the year. Zac, Ben, Lundy were selfless sacrificing their wickets trying to gain precious runs at the end. We fought all the way through the order for 80 overs with the bat to post 196, a good score to have on the board in a Grand Final but on a small, fast ground I wasn’t sure it was enough. The next day the fielding was our best for the year, and the bowlers to a man were magnificent. Stamps tore the top order apart and Trent refused to concede runs. There was a run out and key spells from Lund and Hogan with Zac chipping in at a crucial time while Anthony Howes ground away in his marathon spell at the other end, (26 overs 3-33). Malvern were dismissed in the 72nd over for 144. The margin belied the intensity, ebbs and flows and hard fought nature of the game but the result was the right one. Bar the celebrations and awards a fantastic year was thus completed. A superb effort not just those lucky enough to take the field in the Grand Final, but everyone who played in the 3rd XI and all at Oakleigh Cricket Club.
Why the difference to last year? Firstly, despite the alternating Saturday/Sunday games we returned to having a remarkably stable player group with low turnover particularly for a third XI. Secondly it is a cliché but it is so for a reason; we did the little things better than we have for a number of years. We also gained some more discipline, spine, some inner toughness and a ruthlessness that despite the obvious skill, has been lacking for a few years. Thirdly, each and every week someone different stood up to do a job, it was a team season. This, along with having access to “go to players” meant that not only could we win games in all circumstances but we could try things; get guys some overs under their belt, bat someone back into form, nurse injuries and workload or do something different. We batted with more application than in previous years and as a result we occupied the crease longer and posted competitive totals. We had the effortless class of Satvik, Miles and Connor, but there was less of the flash and the instant gratification that comes with crashing balls to the boundary and more of the discipline, hard work, ugly runs, inner toughness at the crease I wanted. Stampsy and Zac against Box Hill were outstanding, James Benn at Croydon, Ruergan against Ormond, Darcy at Balwyn and JOK in the Grand Final are just a few of many fine examples. Last year no one qualified for the batting averages and our highest performer was 62nd in the completion; this year we were one run off 10 people qualifying and 5 of the competition top 20 bats were from Oakleigh, a stark contrast. The fielding was much improved, few catches were dropped and some outstanding catches were taken at crucial moments with the catching in the cordon a particular highlight along with the best ground fielding for years. Raffa and Miles were exemplary behind the stumps all season.
These aspects were the difference overall because once again our bowling attack, which has been a strength for a few years now, kept on doing what it does and then got better. With a genuine seven person seam attack I was constantly apologising to bowlers (particularly spinners) for not getting the overs they would have liked as we took out a team for yet another paltry total. The bowlers didn’t just bowl to a plan, or in pairs, they bowled as a pack, as a team. The six bowlers with the most overs all averaged fewer than 16, three under 10. Three of the competitions top 10 wicket takers (including number 1 and 2) were from Oakleigh and none of them won the team bowling average! There were so many outstanding performances. Hogan’s
39 debut destruction, Lund and Connor at Balwyn, Trent’s inspired finals campaign, Matt putting Noble to the sword and Howesey’s relentless attacking pressure. Throw in Shaw, Burke, Ramani, Brasher (Donohue & Benn??) for good measure. If you put a half decent score on the board and you field as you should, this bowling attack will win you the game.
What does bode well for the club’s future is that this team is almost entirely composed of an outstanding group of young players who would all be playing higher at weaker clubs and are gaining valuable experience (Brambleby, Braganza, Benn, Brasher, Darcy and Joe Burke, Byrne, Corrie, Miles Fabris, O’Keefe, Raymond, Howes, Raffa, Shaw, Verma). Mix in players with a few more miles on the clock (Lund, Hogan, Stamps, Shields, Ramani, Robertson) to provide some much needed wisdom and intelligence and it provided a wonderful balance.
As usual there are lots of people to thank. Firstly the OCC committee, Roly, Mick Lawson for umpiring and Frank Fabris for his cameo and most importantly to Peter Webb, not only for this year and the tireless work he does, but for getting me to come to Oakleigh initially. To the captains and selection committee Brendan, Brent, Matt, Daryl and especially Jarrod, it was the hardest year I have seen for selection and JT in particular did a lot of the grunt work. Thanks to our scorers, especially again to Shannon Kirkby; we are privileged to have a scorer of her ability. Thanks to everyone in the team who made suggestions, offered opinions and ideas, with particular mention to Matt, Miles, Jimmy, Ben and Anthony. But most especially to Trent whose cricket brain, support and effort, on and off the field are priceless. Thanks to many of the parents, partners, families, children, friends who came down supported, helped, did jobs, acted as chauffers, provided and set up afternoon teas, particularly Tony Raymond, Greg and Rob Howes and Al Stamps. Thanks to my parents, particularly my father, who is there every week. Thanks to my family Kerri, Hamish and Angus and my friends who after all this time still listen, talk to me, put up with me not being able to kick soccer balls, turn up to social functions, go riding or go away for weekends all summer.
I am privileged to be captain at a club like Oakleigh and even more so to be able to win a premiership doing so. My thanks to everyone who played with the 3’s this year from the guys who played one game to those who played all season. Every single player, without exception, contributed meaningfully on or off the field. I thoroughly enjoyed being on the pitch with this group. I loved chucking the ball to another bowler knowing that whoever it was they wouldn’t let me down and I got tremendous enjoyment from batting with nearly everyone in the team at one stage or another. That’s why I play cricket and that’s why I play cricket at Oakleigh.
There is so much more I want to say. About Pokémon’s, Zac’s wicket celebration in the final, “thongies” and the incessant noise and ridiculous conversations that punctuated this season (what is “the sound of da police”?) But there isn’t enough space or time so you’ll just have to wait for the book and the film. So my final word to everyone at the Oakleigh Cricket Club, the successful, family, community club. Thank you.

45 FOURTH ELEVEN REPORT The fourth eleven had 27 players play at least one game this season, welcoming new Oakleigh senior players Luke Lund, Sakthi Ramani and Matthew Robertson, and junior players Jordan Brasher, Luke Doherty, Will Iverson, Zac Raymond, Harry Stanhope, Sam Vance and Christian van der Merwe. For the home and away season, we played eight one dayers, four two dayers and one T20, with ten wins and a tie to finish second on the ladder. The first game of the season was a one dayer against the always unpredictable Endeavour Hills. With five OCC debutants in the team, a fairly nondescript batting scorecard had us finish with 9/203cc from our 40 overs. What followed can only be described as both pitiful and embarrassing, as Matt Stamps (3/10) and Liam Sherlock (4/11) tore through the hapless Hills to hoist them for a paltry 24 runs in less than 15 overs. Only three bowlers were used, and seven of their players failed to trouble the scorers. Endeavour by name, but you can’t stop Niagara Falls with a paper towel. A workmanlike effort against Mount Waverley in the second round continued our great start to the season, taking the ten for only 124 runs (Burke 3/17) before a measured performance with the bat saw us pass them with only three wickets down. The third round against Moorabbin saw the return of the T20 fixture. Looking at the ages of most of their players, it seemed liked they thought it was a Milo Cricket fixture. After an early wicket, Dharmesh Patel and Luke Lund decided to put on a clinic using the bowlers as cannon fodder and the fielders as witches hats, putting on 91 runs in quick time before we finished up with 3/146cc, Lundy’s destructive 50 the highlight. Their prayers for rain were fruitless as the day was brighter than St Elmo’s fire, and our bowlers tore through the struggling rabble for only 69 runs, O’Driscoll’s 3/8 the pick. That the Moorabbin captain was already on his first beer halfway through their innings says it all. The strength of the 4th XI Caulfield side has dropped supremely in the last few years, going from Bucephalus-like to now more synonymous with a one eyed, lame nag. The fourth round fixture against them was remembered more for Dharmesh’s cramps than anything else, as we chased their 110 for the loss of only three wickets. Our first two day fixture against Noble Park had them chasing leather for most of the day, with Jordan Brasher’s 71 (56 in boundaries) and Matthew Robertson’s 46* (40 in boundaries) the backbone of our 199 from 56 overs. What little enthusiasm they had by dismissing us early was crushed as easily as Oberyn Martell’s head by the Mountain, as David Anselmi led the way to scythe through with 6/30 as they were dismissed for 63. Our plans for an outright victory were thwarted by some questionable fielding and some stoic resistance, as they finished at 9/150 at the end of the second day with Will Iverson’s 4/22 the highlight at the close of play. A solid batting display from our top order against Croydon saw us amass 6-240, declaring with the hope of early overnight wickets before Anselmi continued his rich vein of form (4/25), combining with the ever reliable Jatin Shah (3/3) to rout Croydon for 79. Rolling the dice for another chance at an outright gave us snake eyes, Croydon finishing with only one wicket down at the end of the second day. Another damaging batting display of 4/217cc led by Robbo’s 53* paved the way for a blitzing win against Ormond, using only four bowlers and requiring only 24 overs to steamroll them for a measly 59 runs (Anselmi 3/10, O’Driscoll 3/21) with only one of the muted Monders reaching double figures. Being unbeaten to the halfway mark of the season was a great effort from the team, though important to remember that all the sides we were to play in the second half of the year were all in or just outside the top six.

Round 8 against Elsternwick showcased the talent that is Dharmesh Patel, singlehandedly snuffing out the Wicks’ chances by carrying his bat in the one day fixture for a wonderful 106* out of 3/228cc. Rarely do we see one dayer centuries scored in the fourth eleven, so it was great for all present at Warrawee Park to watch Dharmesh continue to take his game to the next level. Balwyn’s recent move to the South East group has shown them to be a force to be reckoned with, grinding out a competitive 7/123cc in Round 9, our attack amazingly castling six of the seven Balwynites. Regular wickets fell as we ticked over the score, Robbo remaining the rock looking to bat time to win us the game. At 9/120 and with most of the OCC players’ nails bitten down to the dermis, Gary Iverson proved a dutiful partner for Robbo as we triumphed with two balls to spare. For the final four rounds of the home and away season, we played like the Pakistani test team; unpredictable, somewhat undisciplined and with moments of sheer brilliance. After a robust Bayswater compiled a gettable 176 in the first week of Round 10, our batting collapsed like the Tacoma Narrows Bridge, bundled out for 98 in our first loss. A much more spirited batting effort occurred in Round 11 against Box Hill, Dharmesh’s 87 the platform to build a likely winning score of 228. At 9/195, the points looked to be ours but Hubber and Trollope slowly ground down the deficit. With plenty of batting time and both batsmen playing with no risk, scores were tied at 228 before an unsuspecting Hubber clamped down a second too late on a Luke Doherty yorker. A positive to get three points from the match in the end, and also that Trollope was not out at the non-striker’s end. Darcy Burke’s brief hiatus from the third eleven was the catalyst for the win against Brighton in Round 12, his fluent 78 (including a memorable six) at the top of the order the highlight of our 4/194cc. While Brighton may be used to the scones and jam scene (of which Sue Burke’s are clearly the best), perhaps it was the lack of doilies in their change rooms that caused an unlikely batting collapse, all bowlers combining to roll them for a meagre 94. With ladder positions now fixed for the top six, the top of the table clash with Malvern ended our home and away season. Our 8/154cc (Robbo 53) was thwarted by an aggressive Malvern, passing us with only the loss of four wickets. A real positive in the loss was spinner Sam Vance (3/28), whose flight would have pleased the Wright Brothers as he successfully bamboozled three victims out of their creases only to be joyfully stumped by Dharmesh. Finishing second on the ladder meant another finals campaign for the fourth eleven, our twelfth in the last thirteen years, playing Brighton at the neutral venue of Elsternwick Park. Brighton’s decision to win the toss and bat on a slightly wet deck initially proved to be similar to picking Richard Tambling ahead of Lance Franklin, as Jordi, Jatin and Iverson went about dismantling the top and middle order, leaving Brighton floundering at 7/51. Some lusty hitting from the Brighton captain gave them something to defend before Jatin finished the innings at 110, his 5/16 a terrific effort. Tyros Jarryd Raffa and Dylan Brambleby went about the chase in a positive fashion, hitting through the ball and running hard before Raffa fell at 1/47. Brambleby continued with support from the middle order, his 65 the difference between the two sides as we were finally dismissed for 199 and the chocolates. We played an experienced Bayswater in the semi, who batted on a hard Bayswater Park wicket. After Jordi’s two early ones and a direct hit run out from Lund, Bayswater’s experienced opener Connell made it his day with a gritty 84 as they finished up with 8/237cc with some late order hitting from the lower order. In the same way as the quarter final, Raffa and Brambleby led from
47 the front, scoring fluently for an opening stand of 96 before both openers perished in a period of 3/12 to be 3/110 at tea.
Unfortunately, two quick wickets after tea at left us at 5/126, and while some pesky resistance from the lower order provided a thorn or two in Bayswater’s side, we were eventually dismissed for 183 in a shattering loss. Congratulations to Andrew Wheeler and his side, who went on to be eventual (and back to back) premiers. There were so many positives for the 4th XI this year, none more so than the continual development and improvement of quality juniors and young senior players. Satvik Verma and Zac Raymond worked their way up to higher elevens after starting with us, and the likes of Raffa, Brambleby, Jordi and Vance have shown that they should be permanently playing at a higher level. Our batting was the strongest that it has ever been, requiring the opposition to chase a minimum of about 200 runs in most fixtures where we batted first, and chasing down targets with aplomb most times. Our bowling was as always one of the best attacks in the competition, with the mixture of youth and experience continually troubling the best of opposition batting line ups. A few other notable mentions as follows: Matthew Robertson – 325 runs @ 65 with 6 not outs, a great debut season with OCC Dharmesh Patel – 522 runs @ 48, catches all around the ground, 4 stumpings and a wicket; you continue to be a great example for all at the club with how you go about your cricket David Anselmi – 17 wickets @ 8, way too good for 4th XI level, but always welcome to turn out with us when football umpiring commitments are light on Jatin Shah – 18 wickets @ 11, once again showed the way as a hard edged combatant with quality medium paced bowling Sam Vance – 11 wickets @ 18 was a great start to what is hopefully a long career at OCC
A few thank yous: Shannon Kirkby – scorebook extraordinaire whose meticulous script meant that I was relegated to the opposition’s book (sob). Lovely to score with someone who knows what they are doing, and for keeping my mind off the fact that I wasn’t playing. Peter Webb & Roly Williams – for all your help and support for all of our home games on Sundays at Warrawee Park due to the centre wicket at Scammell Reserve being relaid. Dharmesh Patel – taking on the additional responsibility of captaining the side (unbeaten!) in the early rounds due to my absence due to injury 3rd XI players – for being open to and for your contributions playing with the 4th XI due to the Saturday/Sunday fixturing made it easier on Donners and myself to have balanced sides To all the players who have represented the 4th XI this season, all who have provided advice, the selection committee, the OCC board, the junior coaches and all parents, families, wives and girlfriends. A special thanks to my wife Suhanya, who gave birth to our daughter and first child Zarita at the end of January, and make innumerable sacrifices so that I could continue playing. Well done to the 2s and 3s on their flags, especially all who played in their first senior premiership. Until next year, Daryl Mendes - Captain

51 LEGENDS AND HEROES T20 COMPETITION REPORT THE UPSET LOSS - The Outer Eye The mighty Oaks incredible record in the VSDCA T20 competition has finally taken a beating as we have been bundled out of the 1st round of knockout competition by Ivanhoe at Ivanhoe. Previously a round-robin format where teams qualify for knock-out quarter or semi-finals, this year the VSDCA opted for a total knockout format. With 4 wins, 2 runners-up and a losing semi-finalist finish in the 7 completed seasons, it was expected that we could progress deep into this year’s format despite the change. It was not to be however, as Ivanhoe guest Brad Rossborough (ex Praharan CC and currently playing in the Mornington Peninsula) blasted a powerhouse104no off just 50odd balls to completely unsettle the OCC side. His awesome power with the bat put us to the sword as he belted 6 huge sixes on the large Ivanhoe ground, all of them carrying many meters over the fence. He also added 5 fours in a 1-man show that set us one of our highest ever run chases – 161 - if we were to win All the bowlers felt the heat of his blade, none were spared in what really was a superb display of short form batting. Our response with the bat could not have been off to a better beginning, coach BJ blasting a boundary 4 then 4 consecutive 6s of his own, followed by another 4 in a 1st over that totalled a remarkable 34 runs!!! (with a wide and a noball thrown in). Import Shaun Miller fell early, but we had reduced the target to just about run a ball after 1 over.!!!! Solid batting was required, but our top order was guilty of some rash, injudicious strokes as wickets fell around BJ. Rabbs and Sam fell to horizontal bat swipes that ended with their furniture disturbed while Harro was run- out when he really shouldn’t have been. All the while BJ powered on to his 50 off only seventeen balls!! as we looked set at 2-60 off just 4 overs in what was a platform that should have enabled us to win. But wickets continued to tumble as batsmen panicked and refused to push the game into its final overs. Pricey smashed a 4 but fell next ball, AJ chopped on and then BJ was bowled as we fell apart. Normy tried hard but with the run rate spiralling to 10 an over he holed out on the boundary. Spike was joined by young Josh Knight and they briefly threatened a remarkable get out of jail with a 4 each, a 3 wides and some great running between wickets turning 1s into 2s. But Spike was stumped leaving 26 required off the last 2 overs. It was too much for Josh and Nick Thurgood, despite best efforts. The running between wickets of Josh – along with BJs blistering 61, the only highlights in a poor effort all-round, marked by no-balls, wides and dropped catches in the field, and poor tempo batting around BJ with the blade. And so, our incomparable record in the T20 competition takes a hit, a hard one too, as there is no second chance this time around. Perhaps we were guilty of a bit of complacency - Ivanhoe's recent form has been very very poor, perhaps it was just the shock of the blistering ton. Either way, its spelt doom for us in this competition. Our focus turns immediately back to the real stuff, where we play Preston this round at Preston in a tricky fixture.

GLENDA AND PETER SPLATT AWARDED LIFE MEMBERSHIPS AT OAKLEIGH CRICKET AND TENNIS CLUBS
Toby Prime, Monash Leader December 8, 2016 12:00pm
GLENDA and Peter Splatt are Oakleigh through and through.
The two met at the Oakleigh Tennis Club in the mid-1970s and have been married for 35 years.
Over the journey, the two have invested countless hours into the spirit and culture of the Oakleigh tennis and cricket clubs.
Glenda, 58, was earlier this year awarded for her contribution to the cricket club, elevated to the status of Life Member — the same recognition her father Gordon, more commonly known as ‘Mickey’, received.
Last week, Peter, 63, was awarded life membership at the tennis club for his near-on 50-year association with the club.
“It has been a really special time,” Glenda said.
Glenda’s life membership status continues a strong family legacy for the Splatts at the cricket club.
Gordon, who passed away in 1976 after suffering a heart attack at the age of 52 while playing tennis, batted at No. 4 in the Oaks’ first Sub-District Cricket match, while Peter’s uncle Fred White, also a life member, batted at No. 7 in the same match.
Glenda and Peter’s sons Michael, who is named after his grandfather’s nickname, and Andrew have also played more than 100 games each in the First XI, playing alongside each other in the 2008-09 and 2012-13 grand final wins.
Glenda became just the second woman to receive the honour and the first female since 1991.
53
She is renowned for her ‘Splatty Meal Deal’ every Thursday evening after training, while Peter is the “support staff” in the kitchen, helping prepare anything from curries, Mexican, lasagne and steak sandwiches, or, as he puts it, left to do the dishes.
“It’s one of those things that make the club that little bit better to be around,” Oakleigh captain Brent Warren said.
“They might seem like small things but it is one of the reasons we’re a successful club because we have people doing things behind the scenes like that to make it an enjoyable place to be.”
Glenda said she decided to start cooking meals when Andrew returned from a stint at Premier Cricket club Dandenong.
“I had family of five anyway to feed so another 30 wasn’t much extra,” she said.
“These young lads can eat a lot, too.”
Peter said he was shocked to receive the life membership honour.
“It was a big surprise for her and a big surprise for me, too,” he said.
“It’s nice to both be recognised for what we do.”

Additionally Oakleigh Cricket Club had approximately 20 kids participate in our Milo in2cricket program.
Of our eight junior teams, the two U11 teams do not play for points, of our remaining six teams, three made the finals, all being defeated in Semi- Finals. Our U18 T20 team made the Grand Final but were defeated. Congratulations to the 10 players selected to compete in representative teams this season: ISEC Rep Teams – Jack Iverson, Max Cavolo, Tom Reid, Will Iverson, Zac Raymond CV Pathway Teams – Nick Thurgood, Luke Rhodes, Josh Knight VSDCA JG Craig – Christian Van Der Merwe, Harry Ryan Congratulations to the 3 players who won ISEC averages or aggregates: Tom Cashman – U15 Sunday Bowling Christian Van Der Merwe – U15 Sunday Batting Zac Raymond – U17 Sunday Bowling A big thank you to all the coaches – Ed Soldati, John Reid, Mike Piper, Michael Lawson, Laura Crofts, Michael Girolami, Marty O’Driscoll and John Doig. A great job!
Special thanks to Michael Girolami who stepped in to take over the younger U15 Sunday team when the coach had to withdraw. Thanks to all who helped manage teams, scored, entered results on MyCricket, setup up stumps, marked out boundaries, and helped out at training.
Thanks to the parents who have again kept Oakleigh Cricket Club as the benchmark for morning teas!
John Delaney again did a fantastic job of facilitating the Milo in2cricket program over 8 Saturday mornings across the summer. Well done John - the kids had a ball.

73 J.G.CRAIG UNDER 15 REPORT With a good preseason behind us we had picked a great group of boys to represent the Oakleigh Cricket Club in the J.G. Craig Carnival for 2017.
Having a good mix of pace and spin bowlers to go with a talented batting line up, we felt confident that we could do well over the carnival.
Setting goals and talking about game plans the boys were ready and raring to go. I wish to sincerely thank Anthony Howes, Jordan Brambleby and Dharmesh Patel for their outstanding work in assisting me in the preparation of the team.
The support from the parents and friends group was unbelievable, especially Alex King the team manager who organised all the scoring (he did the bulk of the work), cold water, lunches, catering, photography (Burger van der Merwe and Cameron Colvin), driving, positive support and faith. It was fantastic the way everyone came together and worked so well. The boys are all great and they gelled well together and were all well-mannered, which is testament to the way they have been raised.
I also wish to acknowledge Allan Stamps, Peter Webb and Geoff Latham for all of their hard work and help behind the scenes which made my job so much easier.
On behalf of the President of the Oakleigh Cricket Club, Peter Webb and Committee of Management, we thank you for coming to our Club, embracing our culture, playing the game in the spirit that is intended. I hope you all enjoy the full match reports that follow.
Ryan Chapple Craig Coach 2016/17
Round 1 vs. Ormond at D.W. Nicoll Reserve, Oakleigh. Thursday 5th January 2017.
Having won the toss and electing to bat hoping to get runs on the board, we didn’t get off to the best start, Losing quick wickets in clusters the boys weren’t able to get momentum in the innings, with Sam Boontjes (21) and James Smith (19*) doing their best we could only muster 10/67 from 39.2 overs.
With a good endeavour the boys came out to defend their small total. Bowling a good line with impressive fielding the boys put up a good show to have Ormond 8/56 and almost stole an unlikely victory. Passing our score 8 down we were still able to bowl Ormond out for 84 from 38.3 overs. For the boys to be able to keep the eventual premiers to less than 100 runs was very impressive. If only we had batted better and posted more runs. Best of the bowlers were Robert Konstanty-Nicholson (3/5 off 5) and Chris Toole (2/18 off 7.3).
Round 2 vs. Moorabbin at Moorleigh Community Village. Tuesday 10th January 2017.
Getting sent in we looked to get off to a better start, but alas the innings was almost a carbon copy of the first game. Losing too many wickets to poor shots, the boys struggled to 10/78 from 36.3 overs. James Smith (17*) and Sam Boontjes (17 were the only real resistance to the Moorabbin bowling.
To their credit the boys came out to bowl with enthusiasm and commitment to the contest. Unfortunately the Moorabbin bats showed us what we needed to take out of the game, batting their full overs to take out the game scoring 5/116. The boys battled out the game and tried to
74 take it deep, but with a small total to defend it was too hard again. Best of the bowlers was Christian van der Merwe (2/13 off 5).
Round 3 vs. Malvern at D.W. Nicoll Reserve, Oakleigh. Wednesday 11th January 2017.
Losing the toss again we were asked to bat. This time we showed better application and temperament to the contest and batted our full 45 overs to get to a defendable total of 8/124. The highlights of the improved batting performance were James Smith (38) and Jack Caspersz (20) who showed the continued commitment to bat for longer periods.
With a good total to defend we came out with the ball in good spirits. With Harry Ryan (2/8 off 7) and Chris Toole (2/19 off 9) getting us off to a good start with 3/15, we just couldn’t stop the Malvern batsmen getting the required runs. With a number of missed opportunities in the field we allowed Malvern to chase down the runs finishing 4/127 from their allotted 45 overs.
Round 4 We had the bye this round.
Round 5 vs. Elsternwick at Elsternwick Park No. 1 Tuesday 17th January 2017.
With this game reduced to 30 overs due to the heat, we looked to this game to get our first victory for the carnival. Getting to bowl first in a game for the first time we bowled extremely well. Bowling in the right lines and using the change of pace well mixed with some impressive fielding to keep Elsternwick to 8/96 from their 30 overs. Harry Ryan with (3/13 off 6) was the pick of the bowlers leading the way.
Looking at an achievable total to run down, the boys got off to a good start with Oscar King (36*) who carried his bat through the innings and Pranav Dhir (15) keeping the ship steady with an opening stand of 25. Chipping in Christian van der Merwe (15) helped Oscar to steer the team to their first and well deserved win making 4/98 from 27.2 overs.
Round 6 vs. Caulfield at D.W. Nicoll Reserve, Oakleigh. Wednesday 18th January 2017.
Looking to continue our winning way we cam up against Caulfield and were asked to bat first. This innings was our best batting display for the entire carnival. All the boys showed true grit and determination to get the team to a great total of 4/162 from our 45 overs. Leading the way were Ryan Hammond (45*) who retired hurt from exhaustion, Oscar King (36), Josh Coplestone (25) and Christian van der Merwe (24*0 who helped to run Ryan Hammond into the ground with his great running between the wickets.
Having a very good total to defend we got an early wicket for a good start. But Caulfield were able to fight back and put in a good batting performance. Till we were able to get the vital break through with four quick wickets to have the 5/57. Missing a number of opportunities for more wickets we allowed Caulfield to build a partnership and get themselves into a position to win the game. Wrenching the momentum back with another small cluster of wickets the boys were able to dismiss Caulfield for 148 from 41.5 overs for a close 14 run win. The best of the bowlers were Max Delaney (2/22 off 8) and Christian van der Merwe (2/24 off 6.5).
Match Round 7 vs. Brighton at Brighton Beach Oval. Thursday 19th January 2017.
It came to the last game and with being out of contention for the final we were looking to finish off the carnival with a good performance. Being asked to bowl first we tried everything to keep our lines in the right spot, but being a quick out field we allowed a few too many runs through the field over the entire innings. The pick of the bowlers was Christian van der Merwe (4/38) off 8) as Brighton was able to post a solid total of 8/157 off their 45 overs.
75 Believing it was an obtainable total the boys went out with enthusiasm to finish the carnival off well,. But alas after a strong start we lost a cluster of four quick wickets for 10 runs to have us floundering at 5/55. It was all too much of a hole to dig ourselves out of and finished 10/122 off 43.3 overs. The best of the bats were Sam Boontjes (28), James Smith (23) and Zach Colvin (18).
All in all the boys played better as the carnival progressed and the two wins we had were hard fought and well deserved. In most games we had some chances to get a few more wins, but with some poor batting and fielding left ourselves with too much to do in our attempts to win those games.

77 UNDER 18 ISEC T20 CHALLENGE PLATE REPORT Doigy again headed up the U18 campaign and with one win, one loss and a forfeit, the team were cast into the Grand Final against an equally impressive Mt Waverley who we had beaten in Round 1.
In the final the Oaks were looking the goods with Mt Waverley only managing 92 thanks to some tight bowling and two wickets each to James Duckett and Nipun Perera.
Unfortunately our guns did not fire and our more fancied players contributed doughnuts, leaving a determined Josh Knight to whip up an impressive 38* to get us within 5 runs. A great knock.

UNDER 17 PINWILL REPORT
The good news started with the club naming the U17’s team this year after Ben Pinwill. As we all know Ben is one of the finest men and one of the finest first eleven players to ever play at Oakleigh. Due to Guest Road being unavailable for thirds and fourths, Warrawee Park was not an option for Sunday morning home matches this year. Caloola became our home ground for U17’s and being synthetic, it was not an ideal ground to play in the U17’s turf competition. The Pinwill team was lucky to have so much all-round cricket talent, most of the boys backed up from last year from either the Holten or Travaglia Teams. We agreed at the start of the season, that our goals were to play as a team, play for each other, strive for our best and enjoy playing cricket together.
After the 10 home and away rounds we ended up in second place with seven wins, two draws and one loss. We did particularly well in the first game of the season. We scored 5/301 in 45 overs and rolled the opposition for just 58. What a game! 100 not outs to Captain Ruergan Braganza and Zac Raymond, followed by a skilful performance with the ball by Harry Stanhope with 5/4 including a Hat Trick! When I look through the statistics for the season, I was so pleased to see so many personal bests. Zac Raymond 307 runs @51.2 best - 100no, 95 no, 47, 2/8, 5/6, 4/18, 6/28. Ruergan Braganza 197 runs & 49.3 best – 100no, 39no & 25 Tom Newstead 191 runs @21.2 best – 61, 44, 43 and 4/9, 4/33, 2/32 Paddy Edmundson 151 runs @ 35.0 best – 32, 21, 51 & 38 Harry Stanhope best - 36 runs, 5/4, 3/53, 2/14 & Hat Trick Jordy Brasher best - 28, 32, 21 & 4/30
Others include, Nipun Perera 4/17, Nick Noone 2/6, 3/15, Nick Thomas 2/9, an 8th wicket partnership of 38 by Joe Burke & Paddy Edmundson, and Shaun Vapp 20 vs Caulfield, Jarryd Raffa 51,
The players really enjoyed the game against Caulfield at Caulfield No 1. We played very good cricket against a quality team. The intensity levels were high and as we all know the contest is always on against any Caulfield team. The boys lifted magnificently - Zac Raymond starred
81 with the ball with 6/28 and Jarryd Raffa playing a mature quality innings of 51 and Paddy Edmundson contributing 32 not out to see us over the line.
I was also very pleased with the 8th wicket partnership of 38 between Paddy Edmundson and Joe Burke in a rear guard batting display Mount Waverley on a very dicey deck to make a score our bowlers could defend.
The Semi Final Unfortunately, we saved our worst cricket of the season for the semi-final. We played at Essex Height Reserve, a neutral ground, we batted poorly with Paddy Edmundson (38) the only decent performer with the bat. Toorak Prahran out bowled and out batted us in every facet of the match and were hungrier for the win. They went on to to defeat minor premiers Caulfield to take the flag. A disappointing end to a great season.
Congratulation to the following trophy winners
Zac Raymond had an amazing season and finished it in style in winning the Rowland Williams Trophy for the best junior. Zac also won the best U17’s player award and picked up both batting and bowling awards. I really look forward to seeing you go onto bigger and better things in the future. You are a genuine all-rounder, keep working hard on both facets of your game, and continue to strive for excellence. Further opportunities will come your way!
Tom Newstead won the Coaches Award. Tom it was a pleasure to have you in the team, you batted and bowled well, and when we needed a keeper you did that too! Mid way through the season I encouraged you to change from a fast bowler to a slow bowler. This brought immediate success for yourself and the team. Well done, you have a fine cricket career ahead of you.
A big thank you to Ruergan Braganza for captaining the side, well done and thanks for your efforts, you did a fine job. So proud of you in the semi-final for taking to the field with a broken thumb all bandaged up and leading the team in our hour of need.
A huge thank you to all the boys for taking on the job of wicket keeping at various times during the season!
David Vapp was a fabulous assistant coach, David was on hand at every practice, every match and consistently provided me with support and guidance and even put the scores into MyCricket! David you are a gem, Oakleigh Cricket Club is very lucky to have you!!
Tony Raymond, volunteered to be Team Manager at the start of the season. Tony had everything under control, stumps, balls, cones, scoring, drinks, score board and morning tea. Hats off to you for doing a superb job and providing wonderful support to David Vapp and myself and the team in general.
Lastly, to the parent and friends group - thank you for supporting the boys all season, doing the scoring, providing excellent morning teas, and always creating a great atmosphere at the games!!

85 UNDER 15 JUNKEER REPORT This season we had 13 boys in our team - ten of whom were top age; three first year under 15’s.
I was very fortunate to have the expert assistance throughout the season from Life Member and father of Harry, Paul Ryan. Together we worked on a balance of personal development and team success.
From 10 games this year we won seven, had one draw and two loses. We finished third and lost our first final.
This year we had five different batsmen make a score of fifty plus, and another two batsmen who made 190 and 175 season runs without a fifty retirement.
If our batsmen had all made runs in the same game we could have beaten anyone.
All thirteen boys took wickets and looked dangerous with the ball at some stage. Consistency probably limited our success with both bat and ball.
Twelve of our thirteen players were existing Oakleigh players and our one new player was Christian Van Der Merwe. He came to Oakleigh thanks to Richard Blaze. Christian was a very welcome addition to our group and won both the batting and bowling awards for our team. More importantly he is a great kid and has great parents who fitted in at Oakleigh beautifully.
Our team was led by captain Jay Matthews, his maturity as a fifteen year old is outstanding. He did a fantastic job throughout the season.
Next year we have ten eligible players for the Under 17’s and three for Under 15’s.
A big thank you to Paul Ryan for his help this year at training and on game day. It was an absolute pleasure working with him.

UNDER 15 McGUINNESS REPORT With the Coaching and off-ground support for the team in a constant state of flux, the lads put together an exemplary performance in reaching the Semi-finals for season 2016-17. Unfortunately, they had their colours lowered against a very strong Mackie side that ultimately won the premiership for this year.
For the majority of the team being bottom age and in their first season of U15’s it was an excellent effort to make the finals. With the gaining of further maturity, more self-confidence and resilience the expectation for next season should be to go that bit further.
The team was ably lead by Will Iverson. His batting was superb throughout the year and his leg- spin shows a lot of promise. Being captain can be a thankless task especially of juniors but he managed the bowlers and batters throughout the year extremely well, you could not ask for more.
Tom Cashman had an outstanding season with both bat and ball, taking 20 wickets and 186 runs. His highlights were his 4/23 in Rd 1 and 50* later against Toorak Prahran. Matt ‘Typhoon’ Tyson, was the other half, with Tom, of arguably the competition’s best opening bowling pair. With 15 wkts and a best of 3/14 was a model of consistency. ‘Big Dog’ Daniel Porter was leading run scorer with 228 of the hardest hit runs from an U15 you are likely to see with the 58* performance against Mulgrave Blue a match winning performance.
Other notable performances were Matt Girolami’s run a ball 38 against Oakleigh Junkeer, Matt Noone’s, 4 for 11 against Monash of tricky well flighted spin bowling. Sid Fortune’s two top scoring totals against Mackie, one during the season and in the Semi against a fearsome attack. Ethan Delaney’s back to back 20’s against Toorak-Prahran and Mulgrave Blue as well as his tidy keeping. Cooper Fisher’s gutsy backs-to-the-wall knock against Mulgrave Blue trying to advert defeat. Coop’s keeping throughout the year was of the highest order. Ethan K’s bowling which was of the highest order but he did not have the luck to reap the appropriate rewards. Lastly, Jai Mangos whose effort in castling, one of Toorak Prahran’s biggest hitters, after being hit for consecutive fours was full of character and courage, inspirational!

It would be remiss of me not to mention Sam Iverson and James Nimo, who were wonderful in filling in on many occasions throughout the year.
A big thanks to Gary, because without him the team wouldn’t have got on the field. Thank you to all the parents who assisted throughout the year but in particular, Jo, Simon, Jeff and Mick.
Finally to the boys, congratulations of a season well played!

UNDER 15 SPLATT REPORT U15 Splatt (Friday) was always going to be up against it in season 2016/17. Having nominated for ‘B’ Grade after struggling last season in U13 ‘A’ Grade, ISEC allocated us to ‘A’ Grade once again and with the majority of the boys being bottom age it was an uphill battle, and unfortunately we went through the season without a win. What we did have was a great core bunch of players who were determined to compete and enjoy their cricket regardless. Add to this a plethora of fill in players including crowd favourite 10 y.o. Sammy Iverson.
Our focus was more around each player learning more about the game and their own game in particular. Straight after the Christmas break we ran some extra training sessions using centre wicket to replicate game day scenarios. We discussed what we could do as a group to improve throughout the second half of the season. The common theme was intensity, which is so important because it is something you need to bring yourselves. I strongly believe you play how you train.
Some other specific focus areas discussed were: Fielding - Doing the basics right – picking up the ball cleanly and getting throw to targets and taking our catches. Teams that do the basic best usually come out on top. Taking that extra split second to set ourselves for the catch, or before we throw the ball will serve us well. Batting – Rotate the strike. Take a second to check the field often so you know where scoring options are. Learning to use soft hands if the field is deep is a great skill to develop to keep the score ticking over. Communication – Talking to our batting partners, calling loudly and clearly to avoid any mix ups. Bowling – Reducing extras – be diligent not to just give runs away. Ensure your run up is good and practise consistency when bowling at training. Stock Ball – We spoke about understanding and developing a stock ball that the players are confident to bowl repeatedly with minimal risk rather than trying to bowl too much variation.
From this we came up with 3 tasks for the players to complete away from cricket. They were: 1. Develop and know the field you want to bowl to. Practise it at centre wicket and understand why your field is set the way it is. 2. The players were to send me one strength, one weakness and something they want to work on for each of: batting, bowling, fielding 3. Assess what are you strongest and weakest shots when batting and consider which ones you could play more or less of to limit chances for dismissal and/or increase scoring opportunities.
Some season highlights Lachie Stewart made his first 50, switch hit - one bounce for four and bowled with good pace. Amos Duckett hit a new highest score and at times bowled with good pace/shape. Thenuka Perera refused to give his wicket away and bowled with great pace. When he gets some accuracy he will be a handful! James Nimos started to click toward the season end when confidence kicked in. He bowls a nice outswinger.
91 Anurag Uprety bowling some great off spin in his first year of cricket. Pranaav Baruwal Chhetri playing up as a first year U13 and not being out of place. Matt Tyson relentless accuracy with his left arm over the wicket swingers. Thomas MacMahons cheeky little partnership breakers
Special thanks to the Jo, Lucy, Ants, Louise, David and Simon for help during the year.

93 UNDER 15 ISEC T20 CHALLENGE CUP REPORT Inner South East Cricket (ISEC) this year added an U15 T20 Challenge to last year’s very successful U13 and U18 competitions.
The U15 team was selected by a process of asking interested players to nominate for the team, then select what we believe is the best team we can field. No participation or rotations, these teams are fiercely competitive amongst the players for their spots.
The competitions consist of 3 rounds and a Grand Final between the top two teams.
The U15 team under the guidance of senior English Player Simon Normanton started like a house on fire with a whopping 163 against Mt Waverley in R1, thanks to Seb Tusan belting 50 in the first 5 overs. Seb was clouting the ball 20 metres over the 60 metre boundaries! Next we had a disappointing show against Mazenod on a re-scheduled Tuesday night in a game full of intensity and controversy. R3 saw us beat a very strong Toorak Prahran team and almost sneak into the Grand Final, just falling short.
Some notable efforts by Seb Tusan, 50 from about 20 balls, and a great spell of bowling from Christian Van Der Merwe and Harry Ryan in the win over Toorak-Prahran.
Player of the series: Christian Van Der Merwe.

UNDER 13 MENDES REPORT The Oakleigh Mendes Friday Night cricket team that played in the B Grade Stuart King Shield Division for 2016/17 was an exciting and interesting year for myself and the boys involved.
It was my second year of coaching Under 13 and my fourth at being a coach in junior cricket. This gave me a good feeling that the administration side of the year would be easy and all we needed to do was to get down to business, train well and play great cricket. The side consisted of 12 boys, some of which had played together before and a few new faces.
Jack Iverson, Ashwin Mehta, Max Cavolo, Lachlan McFarlane, Xavier Soldati, Harry Chetwin and Arya Shivan, had all played in a team with myself as coach previously. In many ways, I knew what to expect of them. Samuel Coronado and Kush Pipaliya were new to me, although they both played previous seasons, together with Tyler Jones, Navraj Gill and Aaron Benjamin (first year players) completed the side.
Out of the ten games played, we won four and lost six. I believe the overall result for the season did not reflect how the year was for the boys. Some of the games against the top sides were close and there were at least two games where we had almost total control over the match but lost focus and let it slip away. For many of the lads it was the first time in under 13’s and it can take some time to get used to new rules and regulations, not only for the players but the parents as well. Most of the experienced boys who put their hand up to open the batting and the bowling were rewarded with good results. During the year I also tried to give most of the boys an opportunity to be captain. They could bat early and bowl an extra over, as the year progressed the boys found a spot where they felt comfortable in the line-up and enjoyed the game. All the boys showed great improvement through-out the season, and here are some of the highlights and stats that reflected the year.
Jack Iverson: With a highest score of 53 n.o. 227 runs for the year, average 37.83. Bowling statistics: 8 wickets. Best bowling 3/6 with 6 catches. A great year, making the representative team, enigmatic to watch and unstoppable.
Ashwin Mehta: Highest Score of 49 no. in our win against Toorak/Prahran showed skills with the bat making 233 runs, average of 77.67, 4 catches, wicket keeper for most the games, best bowling 2/9, fabulous batting year.
Max Cavolo: Always consistent 154 runs 30.8 average, highest score 36. Best bowling 3/3, average 29.5, and took 2 catches. Always listens and tried extremely hard to better himself, made the representative cricket side, well done.
Xavier Soldati: Another consistent year. His bowling pace and good length deliveries troubled batsmen, he liked bowling with the new ball. Statistics 8 wickets, average 11.0 best bowling 4/12, great economy of 2.32, good accuracy. Batting 125 runs highest score 30, reliable throughout the year.
Lachlan McFarlane: Another boy with great ability and desire to do well in cricket - 74 runs, average 18.25 Wicket kept well in the first games of the season took 3 wickets, nice action in his bowling unlucky through-out the year.
97 Tyler Jones: For a first-year player he showed great improvement and progress for the 6 games played. He had a batting average of 17, made 34 runs, took a wicket and a catch, (was also unlucky not to have more).
Arya Shivan found some good form with the bat from mid-season on, made a personal best of 31 runs against Glen Waverley Cougars. He made 89 for the year and bowled very well, best bowling 2 for 12 with 4 wickets an average of 27.50. (becoming confident, has progressed a long way).
Samuel Coronado Impressed me with his bowling, he was consistent with his bowling took 4 wickets with an average of 25.75 he made 28 runs and gained more skill as the year ended. (would profit from some personal coaching).
Kush Pipaliya: A boy who loved to wicket keep and did for a few of the games. He is a good medium/fast bowler but found most of his wickets coming from spin. With a bowling average of 15.17 and best 2/11, his six wickets could have easily been more. A handy bowler, great personality, made me laugh. He also made 59 off the bat.
Harry Chetwin: The major improvement from not seeing Harry the previous season was his good catching ability. Most of them stuck. His bowling was another big improvement, 5 wickets with best bowling 2/5, average 21.20. Needs to focus when batting, he can hit the ball hard, would take off with the bat if he got some confidence and personal training.
Aaron Benjamin another first-year player started off the year un-familiar to the sport. He showed without prior training for the first game and could not bowl and had some complaints from the opposition. I must hand it to Aaron, the next training session we worked hard with him and with some determination, Aaron was able to deliver some decent balls. While still learning his skills, his batting was his next challenge. For a first-year player who started late in the sport 19 runs and 3 wickets is a good basis on which he can grow.
Finally, Navraj Gill another first year boy gave it his best. He made 51 with the bat and there was a game against Mt Waverley/Mayfield where he made 25 runs, really smacked the ball. With personal training and some seasons behind him he will be great. He also has some pace in his bowling but just needs to get his run up and follow through in line and he’ll get more wickets. Good effort for a first year.
I believe it takes some time for a group of boys to come together and figure out what is needed to play as a team, (not just basic batting and bowling). But the extra little things, how to control the pace of a game, and choke the opposition’s ability to score. Staying focused, encouraging, and backing up players who are struggling. Having a good keeper and fielders to minimize extras and having your bowlers consistently place the ball to the favour of your field you set. This was a young side for most of the boys they will get another crack at Under 13 next year, which I think is a promising thought.
I would also like to thank Rahul Surendran, Samuel Iverson, Archie Callander and Diyon De Silva, for contributing to our side throughout the year.
I would like to thank the parents with their assistance throughout the year. Especially Andrew McFarlane, Ed Cavolo and Ahmit Mehta.
Eddie.

UNDER 13 SHIELDS REPORT With all but three of this team being made up of boys coming up from under 11 level, and therefore bottom age, it was going to be a challenge to compete at this level and it was decided they would be best suited to play in B grade. After three rounds the boys had performed extremely well, winning two matches and coming very close in the other. The association, at that point, wanted two teams to go up to A grade and as we were sitting in second place on the ladder, we were one of them. Although a number were daunted by this, the boys were encouraged to take up the challenge and embrace the opportunity to improve their cricket by playing against the best teams in the competition and experiencing what was required to be competitive at this level.
While we may have had only one more win for the season, this was not a true reflection on how the team performed. They were competitive in every match and showed they were worthy of playing in this grade. Their bowling was especially good, being as good as if not better than any side in the competition. There was some great batting throughout the season, with depth perhaps being an area of improvement. While the fielding was generally very good, we learnt how important holding our catches is to winning games and this is an area we must improve. Overall however, I am very proud of the boys’ performances and look forward to seeing them compete at the same level next season.
Here’s a snapshot of each boys season: Diyon DeSilva – ‘Silk’, 155 runs and 5 wickets showed his class and skill Xavier Soldati - ‘Mr Cricket’ could recite each one of his 117 runs and 5 wickets Fergus Callander – ‘ Ferganator’, Demolished opposition batsmen by simply bowling straight, finishing with 7 wickets at an average of 13.7 runs along with some great keeping. Pranaav Baruwal Chhetri - ’Smiling Assassin’, Loves every second he plays especially when he is ripping through the opposition bats or smashing boundaries. 9 wickets & 76 runs Kush Papalaya – ‘I can do everything’, bowled some unplayable leg spin to get 7wkts and took a blinder in round 10 Rahul Surendran – ‘ Razza’, Bamboozled teammates, coaches, spectators and especially batsmen taking a team high 11 wickets and is improving in “leaps and bounds” Luke Ajani – ‘The Rock’, Unmovable with the bat (122), always on target(9wkts) and let nothing past in the field. Archie Callander – ‘The Technician’, 93 runs, 3 wickets and some sensational fielding, all straight out of the textbook - Played in Rep carnival for ISEC Arya Shivan – ‘Pocket Rocket’, took it right up to the big boys with 87 runs and some fiery bowling Tom Reid – ‘The Enforcer’, put fear into any batsman(6wkts) as well as finishing with 148 runs of class and power – Played in Rep carnival for ISEC Ashwin Mehta – ‘The Run Machine’, 87 runs of flair, all in quick time and chimed in with 3 wickets. Ryan Konstanty – ‘The Streetfighter’, Toughed it out with the bat for 71 runs and some great work behind the stumps
101 A big thank you to Rob Callander who stepped up to take on the team manager responsibilities making it easier for me on game day, and to the parents who were always there to help with match day duties as required.
Go Oaks,

103 UNDER 13 ISEC T20 CHALLENGE CUP REPORT Our U13 team was selected by a process of asking interested players to nominate for the team, then new select what we believe is the best team we can field. No participation or rotations, these teams are fiercely competitive amongst the players for their spots.
The majority of our U13 players this year were bottom age with only 3 top age players in the team. Coach Ed Soldati took the boys into battle and for all the boys except Xavier Soldati this was their first taste of T20 cricket. Pink Balls, free hits and all the hype to match.
We were narrowly beaten in R1 vs Malvern, then handed a belting in R2 and R3 by Mt Waverley and Murrumbeena respectively. The boys loved the experience however and there were some great performances from Pranaav Baruwal Chhetri and Max Cavolo with the bat.

UNDER 11 DONOHUE REPORT A Friday night Under 11 team was entered in the ISEC competition under “Donohue” – named after club legend Andrew Donohue – fittingly his son, Hamish, was an important member of the team.
As the team comprised boys who had never played before, through to seasoned hands in their 3rd season, my aims were that they learn the basics of batting, bowling and fielding initially, whilst growing as a team, having fun and enjoying the game. Rotating batting and bowling line- ups – took precedence over a “winning at all costs” mentality. A scheduled 18 games over the season resulted in 5 wins, 11 losses and 2 draws.
My fellow Under 11 coach (Michael Piper) suggested training at Caloola Reserve to simulate match conditions, which enabled suggested improvements to player techniques. Eradicating “No-balls” must be a priority in the future, as at least 3 games were decided by our inability to hit the pitch….
106
Apart from the “No-ball” problem, the side improved in all aspects of the game as the year progressed. Experienced players such as Tommy White, Lambros Argiriou, Dineth De Silva, Hamish Donohue, Neel Gera, Max Lawson and James McLaughlin, led the way and eased the pressure on first time players Rayaan Kochhar, Ollie Mangos, Arjun Mehta, Keshav Puri and Ryan Thomas.
Boys grew in self-confidence and belief in their own ability as the season progressed. The improvement in a couple of players was amazing – eventually I found out they were playing cricket at recess and lunch-time at school – followed by taking on bigger brothers in the backyard…. Practice makes perfect!
The newcomers brought genuine enthusiasm and joy to the team, shared by all who watched them in every wicket taken, or good shot played, and by end of season they were all walking a little taller knowing they were making a contribution to their team.
Max Lawson scored 106 runs with the bat at an average of 53, ahead of Neel Gera – who made more runs – but went out 4 more times. A special mention to Sam Iverson – who was always willing to fill in if we were short – and responded with plenty of runs and wickets.
The bowling generally progressed with Lambros Argiriou taking 9 wickets at an average of 12.22 - ahead of the consistent Neel Gera taking 6 wickets at 13.67 and Max Lawson with 6 wickets at 14.67.
I would like to thank all the parents for their support and help with all aspects of the game, whether it was setting up, scoring, providing afternoon tea, hitting catches, throwing the ball to incoming batsmen etc.
Special thanks go to: John McLaughlin for umpiring for the season, filling in as coach for me on 2 occasions and being the “waterboy”;
107 Kerri Fulton for being team manager, arranging contact details, shooing players into position and setting up a roster for our “best in the comp.” afternoon teas; and, finally
Roly Williams for being first at the ground/last to leave, setting up scoring tables, entering My Cricket results etc.
Look forward to seeing you all in 2017/18.

109 UNDER 11 WARREN REPORT It was a pleasure to coach the under 11’s Saturday team this season. With a mix of new and experienced players the team worked very well together and made great friendships that will last a long time. A very successful year for the boys with 14 wins and only four losses. To watch the new players, take their first wicket, catch, or make their 1st runs and boundary was a great delight for me as well as themselves. I really enjoyed watching the boys working together as a team, if a catch was dropped or there was a mistake in the field the encouragement from all the team was fantastic. The highlight for me was the win against a very good Malvern team. They batted first and made 5/91. We made a very bad start and slumped to 9/69 and looked gone but Hardik and Tom batted out to make 9/108, very enjoyable win. The boy’s highlights are as follows: Rahul – 385 runs, 30 wickets, HS:38, Best bowling 4/4. (Razza did play for 2 sides this year) Likes a little run up to bowl. Billy – 349 runs, 9 wickets, HS:42, BB: 2/1. Billy held almost every catch this season. Sammy – 300 runs, 12 wickets, HS:28, BB: 2/1. Sammy never gives up, loves the quick single. Charlie – 79 runs, 11 wickets, HS:10, BB: 2/10. A lot more confidence this year. Changed to spin midyear with some good results. Ron – 174 runs, 9 wickets, HS:21, BB: 2/1. Great in the field all season, likes to field in close. Hardik – 72 runs, 8 wickets, HS:17, BB: 2/13. Batted out a great win, loves a chat in the field Hritik – 51 runs, 12 wickets, HS:9, BB: 3/13. Whenever we needed a wicket he was there. Mason – 38 runs, 6 wickets, HS:9, BB: 2/3. Voice got louder each game, best run out I have ever seen with 1 stump to hit. Kush – 70 runs, 7 wickets, HS: 10, BB: 2/6. Breaking a middle stump with a thunderbolt. Eddy – 82 runs, 7 wickets, HS: 14, BB: 2/9. Likes to hit big and great fielding. I would like to thank all the parents for their help this year. Especially Gab my right-hand man for setting up grounds, scoring, umpiring and helping coaching the boys. Shannon for scoring and all the parents for the morning teas. A big thank you to all the boys who filled in for us this season especially Tom. I hope to see you all next year and to see your boys enjoying their cricket. Kind regards Mike Piper GO OAKS !!!!!!!!

113 MILO IN2CRICKET PROGRAM REPORT Oakleigh Cricket Club held the Milo In2Cricket program at Warrawee Park. The program was scheduled for eight Saturday mornings.All sessions were able to be held as scheduled.
Milo In2Cricket is aimed at 5-10 year old children and is intended to give participants an awareness and introduction to cricket. It is designed to teach basic skills and provide a venue to practise, increase fitness levels, make new friends and most importantly be fun. For $70 all kids receive a kit comprising back pack, bat, ball, T-shirt, drink bottle, hat and some other give-a- ways, particularly from the name sponsor Milo. Cricket Victoria provides valuable support in supplying the kits, learning materials, suggestions and the necessary equipment for conducting drills and activities – as well as identifying Milo In2Cricket as the first step of the pathway to International Cricket.
This year we had twenty two kids in total as well as some siblings who joined in occasionally. For a high proportion of participants this was their first formal experience of cricket. Over the course of the program the improvement in skills was noticeable as we introduced the basics of batting, bowling and fielding. The year ended with the last session culminating in a keenly contested kids versus parents cricket game which was followed by a well earned icy pole and a participant certificate of achievement.
A big thank you to Oakleigh CC for support and use of the facilities, in particular OCC junior co- coordinator Gary Iverson. The program could not run without parents pitching in and helping to keep control of twenty plus 5-10 year olds, so a huge thank you to all the parents who helped ensure things ran smoothly.
Finally thank you to all the children and parents for coming along on a Saturday morning and having fun!

With old players returning and new players joining the club, everyone at ONC approached the upcoming 2017 Winter season with energy and commitment. An Oakleigh Netball Club get together was held in February at Oakleigh Recreation Centre, where coaches and players were able to meet up and start the training and bonding for the season ahead.
115 The 2017 Winter Season for Oakleigh Netball Club has been no less exciting than 2016, with 10 teams and over 100 players representing the Club at Caulfield and District Netball Association and two teams playing Open at Jells Park, Waverley.
Our four Under 11 teams Waratahs, Bluebells, Proteas and Orchids showed huge improvement over the season with a fair mix of wins, losses and draws. Under 11s do not play finals, but we saw a significant change in all the players’ skills as a result of a superb commitment to attending training. Many Under 11 players were in their very first season of netball in 2017 and the giggles, smiles and excitement every Friday night, regardless of the weather or win, loss or draw was inspiring. Check out the happy little smiles in the photos below and you will know what we mean by having fun in Under 11.
Our four Under 13 teams have been particularly successful through the Winter Season, with Wattles, Bluegums and Acacias all finishing the season in the top 4 and therefore qualifying for finals. The Acacias went on to win the premiership, completing very satisfying back-to-back grand final victories. The Ferns, in their first year of Under 13 played a very tough Section 3 grouping and proudly finished in 6th place.
Our two Under 15 teams, Acorns and Blossoms started the season well, but both teams have been beset by injury, particularly for Acorns, resulting in finishing lower down the ladder than they would have liked. Blossoms have gone from strength to strength and finished 3rd on the ladder, qualifying for finals, and unluckily beaten in the grand final after a tremendous semi final victory.
Unfortunately our Under 25 team sought retirement this season as the juggle for uni, jobs, injury and weekend music concerts began to compete too heavily with Saturday morning netball. Some of our players have joined the Open teams out at Waverley in the evenings. We look forward to building a new U25 team in the future.
Caulfield & District Netball Association Tournament - April 2017
ONC took a further step forward in its growth in 2017 and submitted 3 teams into a district tournament. Our players found out that tournaments are exhausting, with 8 intensive games played across a single day. U13 Acacias, U13 Bluegums and U11 Proteas all submitted teams and represented our Club with pride.
Bluegums and Acacias had to face off in the U 13 Semi Final which was done with a competitive but friendly spirit. Acacias were the victors and went on to play a thriller Grand Final, coming back from three goals down against a strong Caulfield South to WIN the flag! A very proud moment for Oakleigh Netball Club to secure a Grand Final win at its first tournament.
A sensational season all round with many fond memories of the season for all as can be seen by the cheerful team reports.
A huge thanks to all our ONC Coaches and Team Managers. In addition, great thanks to Uniform Coordinator Janet Hatzis, Records Kelly Stanhope & Under 11 Coordinator Kathy Rotter.
In addition the ONC would like to thank the OCC for the wonderful support behind the scenes. Particular thanks to Peter Webb and Trent Shields for always being there with humour, advice
116 and practical guidance. Without such collaboration, running a new club would be an impossible task.

Oakleigh Netball Club Coordinators
OAKLEIGH BLUEBELLS: U11
At the beginning of this season there was a re-shuffle of players due to a number of U/11 players moving up to U/13. Aleise, Jasmine and Choetso who were together last season joined with Minnie, Mia, Ella, Storm and Stephanie to make the Bluebells. This was until Choetso unfortunately broke her leg and ended her netball season.
We were fortunate enough to find two further players to join our team. Isabella, who is only 8 and is new to competition netball began at the start of the season and Olivia who has played basketball previously joined the team only 4 weeks ago. Both girls have fitted in well with the team.
We have certainly had our challenges this season playing in Section 1 for the first three matches. It was quite obvious that Section 1 was not the right section for the Bluebells so we were re-graded to Section 2. We are still finding Section 2 very challenging having only won one game this season by one goal. I have to say that the pressure of being in a high section is agreeing with their game. Their defence has improved dramatically over the season.
117 As their coach, I couldn’t be prouder of the girls as they don’t seem to notice wins or losses. They always hold their heads high, have a big smile on their faces and have the utmost respect and encouragement for each other, their opponents and the umpires.
Kathryn Rotter: Coach U11 Bluebells,
Julie Moutzis: Team Manager U11 Bluebells
OAKLEIGH ORCHIDS: U11
We welcomed our new coach Madi. Who is in Year 9 at Sacred Heart College in Oakleigh. Madi is a bubbly and energetic young lady who plays netball, umpires netball and plays women's football. All the girls admire her and love training with her.
Our season began with a bye but nonetheless were still all excited that the season had finally commenced. We welcomed 2 new players that had never played netball before, Sophie and Taylor, who have both embraced the game and become valued members to the team.
All the other girls Sammy, Keely, Alex, Jeni, Marni, Natalie and Kathryn have continued to develop their skills and showed improvements in their netball game. Oakleigh Orchids are a great team that strive to develop and improve their skills at netball whilst having fun in a team environment. Go Oakleigh Orchids!
Madi Noone: Coach U11 Orchids
Stacey Neill: Team Manager

OAKLEIGH WARATAHS: U11
119 The Oakleigh Waratahs team played their inaugural match in February 2017 with a few familiar faces and some new team members to the game.
The girls practice every Monday afternoon learning to play in different positions and having the opportunity to get to know one another.
The team love playing their competition game on Friday nights with every team member ready for fun and trying out new positions.
The team has played extremely well with nail bitting close games and some great wins
The team can't wait for the next session but are focused on doing their best as we head towards the end of the season.
Well done team Waratahs!!
Michael Kurban: Coach U11 Waratahs
Melanie Krom: Team Manager U11 Waratahs
OAKLEIGH PROTEAS: U11
From our first training session, it was clear Oakleigh Proteas had nine eager girls who were very excited to both play and learn the skills of netball. Five of the girls had never played netball before, four had played Netta for a season. Training started with learning the positions, rules, ball handling skills and court movement J
120
Proteas started the season in Under 11 Section 6. The girls took off well with 2 good wins and a draw in the first three rounds. We decided to challenge the girls and after the regrading rounds Proteas moved up to Section 5. Section 5 has been a lot more challenging for the girls, however each week the girls have improved. Most importantly, their enthusiasm for the game has continued to grow and grow.
Proteas competed in the CDNA netball tournament in April. Whilst the competition was tough, the girl’s enthusiasm and effort in each game never waned and during the breaks the girls took the opportunity to practice. Proteas parent participation throughout the day including training with the girls, was fantastic and really made the day for the girls. Hats off to all the parents for getting involved and making it a fun day for the girls.
Proteas are a great bunch of girls to coach and I am very proud of their effort and progress throughout the season. We are looking forward to the summer season and continuing to learn and improve our netball skills.
Narelle Collis: Coach U11 Proteas
Stu Moran: Team Manager U11 Proteas
OAKLEIGH ACACIAS: U13
U13 Acacias have had another fantastic season. We finished 2nd on the ladder went on to ultimately win the premiership with a resounding 17-7 win in the Grand Final. The players have continued to improve under the wonderful coaching from Stephanie Bell. Although they have worked hard at training there has been lots of fun along the way. For a change of scenery one week, Steph ran a special training session at Packer Park, where the team bonded further playing cops and robbers, sardines, tails and plenty more.
121 Highlights for the year have been watching the team improve their attacking play, moving the ball fast and confidently down the court. Defensively the team have gelled, frustrating their opponents.
Winning our first tournament at Duncan McKinnon in April was a particularly great achievement going through the whole day with only 1 loss and then the Grand Final win!
A fantastic season once again for the Acacias team.
Go Acacias!
Stephanie Bell: Coach U13 Acacias
Kelly Stanhope: Team Manager U13 Acacias
OAKLEIGH BLUEGUMS: U13
Coaching the Bluegums for their first season this year has been an absolute privilege. We have come a long way from our first Wednesday training session (where some of the girls were still learning what the letters on the bibs meant) to now; sitting in a competitive 3rd place on the ladder.
Our first two grading games were (to put it nicely) less than successful. However with some of the stronger teams moving up a division, we have been competitive every week and have only lost two games since then. The girls have consistently improved at each game and training session which is super exciting to watch. Individually, they have taken on my advice and
122 developed as players, but also as a team they have learned to be aware of each other on the court and move the ball down smoothly. It’s been great getting to see them all working together and clearly enjoying the game and each other’s company.
I have coached many teams in the past, and I do not hesitate to say that these girls have some of the most enthusiastic, happy personalities of them all. It takes a special bunch of girls to stay back after training to compose a dance dedicated to "the outside arm”. They are always asking questions and offering suggestions, which shows their commitment to improving their skills and makes them a pleasure to coach.
I can’t wait to see how we do in finals, and I’m confident that if I was writing this in a few weeks time, I might very well be finishing it up with “congratulations on the grand final win girls!!”. However, for now I will just say again what a pleasure it has been and that I can’t wait to see the girls to continue to improve and succeed both on and off the netball court.
Go Bluegums!
Kathleen Brew – Coach Under 13 Bluegums
Jacinta King – Team Manager Under 13 Bluegums
OAKLEIGH FERNS U13
It has been a big start to the netball season for the U/13 Ferns, as a new team to the club and heading into Under 13’s saw a healthy level of nervousness and excitement
We picked up three new players this season, all who have become valuable members of our team. Our returning players are true to form: focused, competitive and have enjoyed every minute!!!!.
123 The girls have been performing well each week, they have stepped up to a higher age group and have continually worked on their skills and responded to our wonderful coach -Nicole Sullivan. The Ferns have played some outstanding netball and with the new season fast approaching will be a team to watch!
GO FERNS!
Nicole Sullivan: Coach Oakleigh Ferns
Bec Hodges: Team Manager Oakleigh Ferns
OAKLEIGH WATTLES
The Oakleigh Wattles have had a fantastic season, starting the year in U13 Section 1 and finishing the season in the top four of the ladder. The Wattles are a new team of girls this year, some having played together last year in U13 or U11 and some never played for Oakleigh before. We had a fantastic start winning our first five games of the season and then going down by only two to the Revolution team and the Murrumbeena BelleStars team. They have since finished the season off strongly winning all but one of their last three games, which they only lost by a goal.
124
Most importantly though, the girls have grown immensely throughout the first season both as individuals and as a team. They are not a particularly tall team compared to some of the teams in our section, but they always fight hard and give 110% when they train and play. I have been very proud to coach them this season and hope they have had as much fun as I have. They are a great group of girls and I look forward to the finals and the second season with them.
Go Wattles!

OAKLEIGH BLOSSOMS U15
After a few false starts in tough grading matches, a few nerves and settling into new positions, this newly formed team of Oakleigh Blossoms swung into action and started putting some wins on the board.
After trying out a few different positions, the team have found their individual strengths in goals, mid court running roles or defence. Kristen, Emma and Alana have turned goaling into a team effort with sharp passing, sneaky drop passes to each other and confident goaling. Eliana, Adriana and Ella as the defensive team provided much need pressure on opposition goalers and have been intercepting with style and perfect timing to stop opposition goals. Cherry, Caitlin and Charlotte have provided the much needed energetic mid court running, carefully ensuring the ball gets down the court and feeding into the goalers.
The team have been highly committed to training and working consistently on building their general fitness which has been a key reason for wins on game day.
125 Most importantly, the girls have worked hard to get to know each other better, enjoy each other’s company and have played and supported each other during every game.
The team have been a delightful bunch of happy players who have created a wonderful team and thoroughly deserved their semi final win before just going down in the Grand Final after a terrific effort.
Go Blossoms!!

OAKLEIGH ACORNS U15
Acorns LOVE playing together - almost a little bit too much!
A great bunch of girls who are highly skilled and competitive. Unfortunately a number of narrow losses have eliminated them from finals this season. But moving straight into U15 section 2
126 from U13 has been quite a challenge. A number of injuries have often led to a bare team of 7, but their high spirits never die. A pleasure and great fun to have coached them.
Go Acorns!

OAKLEIGH ALL-STARS OPEN AGE – MONDAY NIGHT 2017 Although our Monday night team had a reasonable first couple of games at the start of the season the competition has been a bit too strong for us.
We have had a few new players come into the side and a few leave due to work/travel commitments. I think once we have a steady side and have all positions on the court filled we will be better competition.
We are looking forward to next season already!
OAKLEIGH ALL-STARS OPEN AGE – WEDNESDAY NIGHT 2017
Our Wednesday night team was brand new this season and players have come from everywhere to play.
127 It was so exciting being able to fill a second side and like the Monday night side had a strong start to the season but have struggled a bit since then.
Now that we have had a season of playing together and are more used to how each other plays we are looking forward to a better season in a couple of weeks!

MID YEAR TEAM CAPTAIN’S REPORT
Due to the enthusiasm of a number of younger members of the Club, in particular the Howe’s boys, a Mid-Year cricket team was established as The Mighty Oakleigh Jaguars. The season started with great promise for the Jags with a couple of early wins and the weather looking after us, with plenty of sun about. All the batsmen found runs and our bowlers barely allowed a run to escape. We were also able to snare the recruit of the season, Ben Hogan, who provided some vital intimidation with his vicious bouncers bowling into the wind.
As Melbourne descended into winter we played some of the better teams and managed to knock off the top team in windy and wet conditions. When the umpire was quizzed about whether we should continue during the hail storm, the reply was, ‘This is winter cricket. We only go off if it is deemed dangerous’. Hoodies and Jackets quickly became the attire of choice.
One of the main differences during the matches was our standard of fielding. We barely dropped a chance whilst the opposition continued to gift lives to our batsmen. Most in comical fashion. This was capped off with D being named keeper in the League Representative team and earning the nickname ‘Rep’ from the boys.
In typical Oakleigh fashion, if we ever got in trouble, someone always stood up with bat or ball, which was highlighted with Jordy winning the batting average whilst saving the game on numerous times. Congratulations must go to Darcy for winning the LEAGUE bowling average. Mighty fine effort, however, still not good enough to get him the coveted Jaguars bowling award, which after a magnificent 4-fa in the Semi-Final went to Max.
A real highlight of the season was seeing a mix of XI’s playing together with the team being filled with players across our four grades and even some juniors. Joey Burke (younger brother of Darcy), who started as a fill-in, quickly rose to cult hero status with his commitment every week and his spinners that were the downfall of numerous batsmen.
We were able to finish the season on top, and of course were very keen to win the coveted Mid Year Premiership Flag. The finals were much tighter than games during the year, however, our depth and class got us through and we were able to claim victory in front of the dedicated Oakleigh faithful.
Finally, there were numerous people who helped make this season happen. Thanks to Doog, Tony and D for your assistance during the year with getting a team on the park and taking care of the admin duties, Shieldsy for being an elite sports administrator and of course young Roly for his support and assistance on game day.
