We have just completed our second year of the NCU Competition (which is the joint comp from our Top 6 teams playing the Top 6 teams from Northern Suburbs) and again it was successful. In A Grade , our 3 teams (Rydalmere, North Ryde RSL and West Ryde Rovers) took the Top 3 places with Rydalmere defeating West Ryde in the final. In A Reserve (our 3 teams Carlingford, North Ryde RSL and Rydalmere) made the top 4 with Carlingford defeating North Ryde RSL in the final. Congratulations to all teams for flying the flag for NDCA and showing the strength of our competition in this joint venture. During the season the Presidents from Manly, Hornsby-Kuringgai, Norths and NDCA had a meeting to discuss all things cricket and where we can help each other and what we can do to strengthen our competition. Another successful outcome from this meeting was to work together in dealing with Cricket NSW so our common interests could be put across as a bloc. This season the “Spirit of Cricket” Awards went to : 1st Grade Carlingford Waratahs (A Reserve) 3rd Grade Rydalmere Maroon 4th Grade Vikings Blue 5th Grade Epping YMCA Red Paul Kilby has become the first Captain to lead a team to 2 consecutive “Spirit of Cricket” awards and in its first 2 years in operation for the NDCA Lower Grades. This is a testament to Paul’s sportsmanship and character and his dealings with the Opposition. In Judiciary news there were too many “Spirit of Cricket” issues. This is park cricket with plenty of kids, their fathers and players over 40 years of age out to have an enjoyable time playing Saturday afternoon cricket. We don’t need swearing, sledging and nonstop verballing in our competition. There are plenty of vacancies in grade and shires cricket for those who want to play to win at all costs and get involved in this behaviour. I implore our Club Delegates to reinforce this message to their teams that it is park cricket and playing with mates and enjoying the game should be paramount. Our Umpires did a sterling job throughout the year and we appreciate the vital part they play in our game. Our regular Umpires were Ian Sinden, John Van der Light, Greg Berriman, Nirmal de Silva, Christiaan Kennedy and Vimalan Shan and the report back from the Captains during the year was that they all did an excellent job. For the second year in a row, Christiaan Kennedy took out the Umpire of the Year Award. Christiaan topped the ratings in all 3 categories (accurate decisions, match management and positive involvement in the game). Christiaan led the polling in both the NCU and NDCA Comps and so his award as our Umpire of the Year is well deserved. Special thanks to Homer Paxton for organizing the Umpires again this year and for ensuring we had plenty of Umpires available for the Junior and Seniors Finals. To those Umpires who Umpired a few games in our comp or did Rep Games we thank you as well This year we had 6 senior teams competing in the merged NCU comp and 22 teams in the NDCA 3rd-5th grade comps for a total of 28 Senior Teams. Total players registered were 502. This year we welcomed Cheetahs Cricket Club into our Competition and in their first year they made it through to the semis. 3 We had 57 teams in our Junior competitions (u10s to u16s). or teams registered to compete across the 10 Junior grades from Under 16 to Under 9 which was a decrease of 2 teams from last season. We convey our thanks to the Junior Committee in running the Junior competitions and the assistance provided from the Clubs. This year for the first time we introduced semi finals for all our Junior Comps with 6 or more teams. We did this for several reasons: as not all teams play each other the same amount of times in a 2 day game, it keeps the competition open rather than some teams losing interest early if they have a poor start and semi finals and finals are exciting, pressure games and this can only benefit all cricketers. The overwhelming response was that the semi final format was a huge success and really added another dimension to the Junior Competition.
