3.0 CHAIRMAN'S REPORT

C Blackmanjn speaking to the Annual Report, thanked Mark Shackleton and Brian Hastings for their efforts in bringing a good and comprehensive report together.

He commented on:

(i) The strong financial position of the club, citing considerable effort being put in by John Thompson and Brian Hastings which enabled the club to install its new practice block facility.

(ii) The commitment the club placed on improving its grounds and pavilion facilities under a sub-committee led by Brian Hastings.As a result, the standards have lifted considerably and good maintenance projects are in place.

(iii) That with proposed legislation changes to the distribution of gaming maching funds the club may have difficulty in sustaining the level of grants it achieved for the 2002 season. iv) The significant growth in the cricket playing area and that the appointment of Garfield Charles had proved to be very good, inclusive of his involvement with the BHS Boys Xl. He further commented that Garfield Charles had already commenced a skill session for the senior squad which would be followed by pre-season training in the weeks preceding the commencment of the 2003 playing season. Enthusiasm from the players was reported as being excellent.

(v) The junior section of the club, in particular their playing strength, and thanked Ross Brown for his dedicated commitment to this very important club section.

He concluded by saying that he felt the club had "turned the corner" and that he envisaged the playing strength of the club would be turned around quickly, particular/ with the re-structuring of the CCA I st Grade competition. He went on to say that the club would have to see its I st Grade side finish in 3rd place or better to avoid relegation. This was alarming in itself and the Committee was not in agreement with the relegation criteria proposed by the CCA.They felt strongly that there were many more facets to a club which determine overall playing strength and that to lose I st Grade status would have a serious downside for the BWUCC.

C Blackman then moved the adoption of the 2002-03 Annual Report and Statement of Financial Position asking P 0 Grady to speak to the financials - Seconded Mark Shackleton

Note: Amendment required to Annual Awards/Trophies List (as raised by Derek Cockburn)

He began by thanking C Blackman for his chairmanship of the club over the past twelve months and commented that he believed the committee had worked very well and that this was reflected in the positive financial result.

Questions from the floor were invited but due to the in-depth itemised explanations given by the Treasurer, none were forthcoming. P 0 Grady was thanked for a most comprehensive financial report and for an excellent job on presenting the accounts.

6.0 GENERAL BUSINESS

6.1 Convenor for Junior Cricket B Hastings brought to the attention of the meeting the Committee's inability to appoint a Junior Convenor for the Club s Junior Section was causing concern. He advised that there is a genuine reluctance for someone to commit to this position and that the Committee was trying to overcome the historical workload placed on this one person by appointing Grade Managers. He felt there were a lot of enthusiastic parents involved with the juniors and if anyone knew of anybody suitable that could be approached with a view to filling this role, they were asked to pass their name(s) to him.

6.2 2004-05 BWUCC Centennarv B Hastings reported that a separate sub-committee would be appointed to plan celebrations for the club's up and coming Centennary. He stressed the importance of this event in the Club's history and advised that new carpet would be replacing the old original one in the pavilion at the end of the 2003-04 season. He envisaged that the official celebrations would take place in either February or March 2005. B Adams suggested that Arthur Grayburn's updated history of the club is utilised and updated for this event.

6.3 Relegation from CCA I st Grade Mens Competition G Cross asked what would happen if the club was relegated - would it struggle for players? B Hastings replied by saying that the club was taking a positive approach by striving to finish in the top three placing's for this coming season. He added further comment by saying that he did hold grave concerns with the new structure, with three of the six teams being based at Hagley Oval which worked against the demographics of growing cricket in the suburbs. He acknowledged however that something does need to be done to strengthen the overall playing strength of the CCA Competition.

6.4 Canterbury University Affiliation G Cross asked what the situation was with the club being affiliated with the University. B Hastings replied by saying that the club is currently jointly affiliated to the University with the Sydenham Cricket Club. ATaggart added that following talks with University representatives, this matter has now been resolved and that by January 2004 the BWUCC would be the only club to be affiliated with the University.

6.5 Nomination for Life Membership J Thompson wished to nominate two club members for Life Membership, namely Ray Burgess and Paul 0 Grady. He gave a brief background on both members commenting that both Ray and Paul had been members of the club in excess of 20 years, both had held numerous positions on the committee for long periods of time and that both had made

immense contributions in their own right in what he could only term as horrific 7 workloads". Seconded Dennis Rea

In reply Ray Burgess spoke of how he had enjoyed every moment with the BWUCC and would still be retaining a strong interest in the happenings of the club despite his preference at this time to practice "underarm bowling" techniques. He concluded by wishing the club alt the best.

Paul O'Grady spoke to his nomination, recalling fondly how the first ever coloured clothing Men s 1st class fixture was played at Burnside Oval between Auckland and Canterbury. He indicated he was willing to continue to serve the cub at committee level in the next couple of years and felt the club had a good background and a good future to look forward to.

6.6 CCA Business David Shackleton, CCA Chairman, was invited to say a few words by Brian Hastings. He began by congratulating both Ray Burgess and Paul O'Grady on their Life Membership commenting that hard-working volunteers such as these two were integral to the survival of club cricket. He went onto say that the CCA Board had been wresting with the standard of club cricket for some time and that if the competition was left as it was cricket would only deteriorate further. He stressed that the new competition playing structure had not been a decision that the Board had reached lightly but rather that careful consideration had been given to the decision making and consultative process with clubs. He added that programmes were currently being explored to assist clubs with administration duties. He touched briefly on the on-going problems with Jade Stadium in terms of cricket preserving its right to play its fixtures there before concluding that the finances of Canterbury Cricket remained a major concern also.

Doug NcSweeney, CCA Community Club Manager was also asked if he would like to say a few words. He advised that the playing start times had changed back to I I am and that the club handbook is on track to be distributed at the beginning of the season. January 10 and February 21 have been confirmed as the Christchurch ODI dates which will see club cricket deferred to the Sunday. There is planning in place to utilise Russell Wylie's skills this season in terms of involving him with the club grounds. A system is currently being explored which would see results e-mailed to The Press in preference to the current drop-box facility.' Brian Hastings asked if the, CCA draw could rotate the BWU U 18 and 5th Grade teams between the grass and aritifical on a weekabout rota. D McSweeney took note of this.

6.7 Mel Libeau B Hastings thanked Mel Libeau for her stop-gap secretarial services that were called upon during the year.

There being no further business, the meeting was closed at 12.53pm. Chairman's report

The 2003/04 season has been one of mixed fortunes for the club on and off the field. The proposed competition changes to a 6 team Premier competition consisting of 6 CCA clubs and a First Grade competition consisting of 3 CCA clubs and 7 Surburban clubs was passed at theAGM. Despite strong opposition from your club, Marist, Riccarton and Sydenham.The CCA board appears committed to the change.Your committee is firmly of the opinion that a 6 team competition with 3 teams based at Hagley Oval is detrimental to the long term development of cricket in Canterbury. We believe geographically, senior teams should be based in the suburbs, to foster adult and junior cricket in their areas.The Hagley clubs do not meet these criteria, under the proposed new competition.

On the playing field the Senior team showed improvement at times with several very good results, however they lacked consistency.With a little bit of luck we could have made the top six. There were encouraging signs from the lower grades.The club extends its congratulations to the 5th Grade SNCC and 6th Grade teams who were first equal in their repective grades. Our 2nd grade and 3rd grade Maroon teams also performed with distinction, both finishing 2nd. Much of this success can be attributed to greatly improved attendances at practice, the coaching of club coach Garfield Charles, and good leadership from Dean Harrison and Geoff Boorer.

The junior section of our club continued to prosper and our congratulations go to all those who achieved representative honours.A new initiative for this season was the appointment of grade managers for all sections of the junior club. It worked well and I thank Roger Fuller, David Wise, Richard Little, and Jane Thomson, and our managerTony Scott for their tremendous contributions during the season.Thanks also to the junior coaches and managers thank you for your contribution, without your support we would not have a junior section, and we look forward to your continuing support. To Gary Prest and his under 14 side congratulations on your success during the season; you showed that enthusiasm and regular practice gets results.

This year the club reaches its most significant milestone, 100 years, from the formation of the West Christchurch cricket club at Hagley Oval.A centenary committee co-ordinated under Barrie Cummings leadership has a number of activities planned for the weekend of 11/12/13 March 2005. Further details from Barrie can be found later in this report. It will be a great weekend and we look forward to your support of these celebrations.

I wish to acknowledge the work put in by your committee over the season.We are a large club and it takes many hours of voluntary work to run the club. We don't always get it right but I can assure you your committee is committed to improving your club. Progress has been made but there is still a lot to be done to return your club to a pre-eminent position in Christchurch cricket.We need more support at a committee level, if you are able to assist in any way please contact myself orTony ScottA special vote of thanks to the chairmen of our main sub-committees, their individual reports will clearly outline what has been achieved.

Early in the season the CCA appointed Andrew Reid to be the club's cricket co-ordinator. His main functions are to foster and promote cricket with schools in our area and assist the club in developing and expanding the junior section of our club, with special emphasis on coaching. He also does similar work with two other senior clubs.Andrew has been most helpful and we look forward to maximising his expertise in the coming season.

There are a number of other individuals I wish to mention. Firstly, thank you to Tony Scott, our 9 new manager for your contribution.To our ever reliable scorer Tony Feely - 25 years is a remarkable achievement; thank you from us all Tony, especially the senior team. Gerard Cross and Peter Isle continue their support every Saturday, the flags and drinks are important - thanks guys.To Bob Alien for the time and expertise he has given John Thompson on a number of Pavilion jobs.Thank you to our goundsman, DannyTimpson,for his work on the cricket blocks, and a special thank you from the junior average section for the extra work put into the Friday night .

The coming season is the most significant in the clubs history. We celebrate our . On the field we look forward to success, especially from our senior teams. I urge all club members to support the club after cricket in the clubrooms. Lets build on a really good club spirit that is developing.

I look forward to seeing you in the coming season.

Brian Hastings Club Chairman

P.S. Since writing my report HSOB and Old Collegians have merged. Regretably it appears the merged senior club will be based at Hagley Oval.The CCA board now have the opportunity to revisit the 8 team competition scenario, which I believe a majority of clubs support. Certainly Christchurch is big enough to sustain this number of senior teams.

Obituary Ana Rouse 1930-2004

Ana, who passed away March 2004, was the first Maori woman to play cricket for New Zealand when she toured with the national team to Australia in 1957. She played for the Mai Moa club, which later merged with BurnsideWest- University. She was a stylish left-handed batswoman and also an accomplished wicketkeeper. The club extends its deepest sympathy to her surviving daughters and son.

10 Treasurer's Report

It is my pleasure to present this years Treasurers Report and Financial Statements.

The last year has seen steady financial progress made by the club.The large surplus enjoyed by the club last year was not repeated, however we have made significant strides in important areas such as more adequate planning and budgeting for the future.

Proactive planning will help the club maintain its healthy financial status; which is important when considering the changes that may be forced upon us. Changes to the way in which charitable trusts are allowed to operate will adversely affect the financial status of sporting and non-sporting clubs, and especially small clubs like ours that are heavily reliant on community grants to ensure that we can maintain a high level of service for our members. Let us all hope that proposed changes to these laws do not affect our club in such a way that endangers our survival.

This year income was based heavily on grants, donations and members subscriptions.Although we have covered expenditure the nature of preparing financial statements indicates a healthy profit. If we did not have income from donations and community grants the club could not afford coaches and managers.

Maintenance has been carried out on the decking area and guttering. Planning is under way to update the interior before the Clubs centenary.Thanks to John Thompson and Bob Alien for this work.

Eftpos was installed this year and has been a great help in cash flow. It is important for Club finances that subscriptions are collected at an early date.The coming season will incorporate all technology to achieve this.

Many thanks must be extended to Paul O'Grady, last years treasurer, who has carried out most of the mechanical functions of being treasurer of the club this season.Without Paul's guidance I would not be able to maintain the high standards that he and others before him established.

14 Audit Report

TO THE MEMBERS OF BURNSIDEWEST CHRISTCHURCH UNIVERSITY CRICKET CLUB INC.

I have audited the attached financial report. The financial report provides information about the past financial performance of the club and its financial position as at 30 April 2004.This information is stated in accordance with the accounting policies.

Committee Responsibilities

The committee is responsible for the preparation of financial reports, which fairly reflect the financial position of the club as at 30 April 2004, and of the results of operations for the year ended on that date.

Auditors Responsibilities

It is my responsibilities to express an independent opinion on the financial report presented by the Committee and present my opinion to you.

Basis of Opinion An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence relevant to the amounts and disclosures in the financial report. It also includes assessing:

the significant estimates and judgments made by the Committee in the preparation of the financial report; and

whether the accounting policies are appropriate to the Club's circumstances, consistently applied and adequately disclosed.

I conducted the audit in accordance with New Zealand Auditing Standards. I planned and performed my audit so as to obtain all information and explanations which I considered necessary in order to provide me with sufficient evidence to obtain reasonable assurance that the report is free from material mis-statements, whether caused by fraud or error. In forming my opinion I also evaluated the overall adequacy of the presentation of information in the financial report.

Other than in my capacity as auditor I have no relationship with or interests in the Club.

Qualified Opinion

In common with other organisations of a similar nature, control over the revenues from fund- raising activities prior to its being recorded is limited and there are no practical audit procedures to determine the effect of this limited control. in this respect I have not obtained all the information and explanations that I have required.

15 In my opinion, except for the adjustments that might have been found to be necessary had I been able to obtain sufficient evidence concerning fund-raising activities, the attached financial report fairly reflects Club operations for the year ended 30 April 2004.

My audit report was completed on 26 July 2004, and my qualified opinion is expressed as at that date.

16 Senior Cricket Committee

The 2003/2004 season was a highly successful period for Burnside cricket. When competition commenced in November, eleven senior men's teams and two women's teams were entered in the CCA competiton, making Burnside the largest senior men's club in Christchurch. When the season concluded Burnside had collected the men's Fifth and Sixth Grade trophies, and placed second in the mens Second,Third and President Grades. Prior to the season commencing, the CCA board announced the two-day senior competiton would be reduced to six teams beginning in 2004/2005.To be assured of a place in the competition without relying on other results, the senior team had to finish in the top three.Afcer an extensive pre-season programme and the signing of Glamorgan professional Darren Thomas, the players were confident of achieving this. Regrettably, they finished seventh in the two-day competiton and sixth in the one-day competition.They competed well in all their matches and with better application in the final hour oftwo-day matches against Sydenham and HSOB,they would have achieved their goal.Although the team are disappointed with the result, all the players are determined to win the Suburban grade in 2004/2005 and return to the premier two-day grade in 2005/2006. Despite the result, the season was not a failure, there were significant improvements in player attitudes, the execution of an attractive style of cricket and the developing combination of coach Garfield Charles, and Jonathan Rea. Garfield's expertise and enthusiasm ensured the team was well prepared for each match. Jonathan thrived in the captaincy role, displaying great tactical appreciation and strong leadership. Jonathan's results vastly improved and he was unquestionably the premier wicket keeper in the competition, something we hope the Canterbury selectors will take note off this coming season. Dean Harrison captained the Second Grade side, which finished second in the two-day competiton and fifth in the one-day competiton. In past seasons, the team had failed to compete consistently throughout the season. However, they removed this bogey by staying focussed and positive throughout the season.All players contributed during the season, the most consistent of those were rewarded by senior selection, where they all performed soundly. Geoff Boorer captained ourThird Grade "Maroon" team to second place, within three points of winning the competition. It was the second year in a row they achieved this result, which clearly confirms their tag as the clubs best performed team in recent times. Debutant skipper Sam Hall led the Third Grade Gold team.They began the season slowly, but after recruiting new players over the New Year break, they resurrected their season and put in some excellent performances. This season the club welcomed a new side in fourth grade. Unfortunately, the team struggled with numbers in the later part of the season and had to withdraw. The club entered four teams in fifth grade.The most outstanding of these was Richard Spackman's "Soixante-neuf team. During the 2002/2003 privegiving Richard assured the club his team would bring a title to Burnside and being a man of his word, they did.The club hopes to see the team back to defend their title next season.This season a new social side, Maroon , led by David Sinclair joined our University teams along with "Blue" captained by Simon Cundall.They each enjoyed mixed success, however, with more time in the grade will develop into two formidable units. Unfortunately, Michael Saunders Gold team withdraw after New Year, with many of the players completing their degrees and taking job opportunities outside of Christchurch. The club entered one team in Sixth Grade, led by Andrew Barry. After only playing a handful of matches the team was supremely confident they would win the grade.They trained hard throughout the season, which resulted in them performing exceptionally well on the field and ultimately winning the grade.The team has played at Burnside for several seasons in our underage grades and it was pleasing to see such a successful progression through our system. Robbie Chisholm and lan Brown captained the Presidents team.The team performed consistently through the season, which was reflected by them finishing second in the grade.As in past years, 17 the team gave tremendous support to the club at after match presentations, and ensured their opposition were welcome and enjoyed their visit.The club would urge all teams to follow the Presidents lead here. For the first time in several seasons, two teams represented our women's section. Both teams benefited from a pre-season programme aimed at advancing their skills. Unfortunately, a lack of player numbers in December and January meant the teams could not always play to their potential. The club will certainly be working diligently in the off-season to boost the player numbers for the upcoming season. Katie Kinraid led the First Reserve team.They played well with eleven players on the field and on several occasions convincingly bet the top teams. Special mention must be made of Emma McDonald who scored 191. Kirsty Carlton captained the Third Grade womens,who where managed by Paul Murphy.A good team spirit was very evident amongst all of those involved, which resulted in the girls enjoying their season.

There have been a number of areas worked on, in and around the pavilion, this Pavilion Conyener I am writing this report, but take no credit for any work that has bee'n'"' undertaken.That credit sits very squarely on the shoulders of John Thompson. He works th and unselfishly for many hours, each week, to ensure that members have facilities available to" them.

The following items have been undertaken this season:

Viewing Deck -As part of the clubs policy to ensure the safety of our members and the general public the handrails were extended and upgraded.The deck was also painted.

Carpet -The carpet will be replaced throughout the upstairs and stairwell during the off-season.

Painting -The ceiling upstairs and the area of the stairs and entranceway will be painted during the off-season.

Scoreboard -A new scoreboard has been provided in the scorers box and us oldies,with failing eyesight, can now see what is happening from the other side of the park.

Junior Gear Room -Work is presently being undertaken to provide a separate room for the junior section to store their gear.

Further upgrading work will be carried out on the pavilion before the centenary.

19 Sponsorship

The season has ended with sponsorship playing yet again a vital factor in the achievements of the club. Successful applications for funding was made available from Scottswood Trust,The Lion Foundation, New Zealand Community Trust and The Southern Trust.These funds were applied in many areas such as wicket upgrades, scarifying,top-dressing seeding etc.

The purchase of playing strips for the first and second grade one-day competition, coaching at Junior and Senior level and part-time administration.The purchase of cricket balls and junior gear. All the former mentioned sections are on-going costs and we are indebted to the various Trusts for their assistance.

Thanks must go to Jasmac Cars for their assistance in providing a car for Darren Thomas, albeit for only 2 and a half months.We are very mindful of the importance funding plays in the general running of the club.

Thanks must go to a number of "private sponsors" who enabled the club to progress, whether it be with product, time or money. To all these people or companies we owe a big thank you.

Unfortuantely, our annual golf tournament failed to eventuate this year due to clashes of dates, however this will be staged this coming season!

A comprehensive scarifing, coring, oversowing and fertilizing was carried out at season.The results of this large undertaking showed the benefits of this work. The playing surfaces of our practice block were probably the best in Christchurch. of the laned all-weather practice facility has proved of great benefit to not onlyall of our ^e^ members but also the surrounding suburbs. This year we completed all the scarifying, top dressing, fertilizing and over sowing immedi; after the season finished, this has enabled all blocks to have a good strikes and healthy our tracks should be as good, or better than last years.The outfield still has some concerns. discussion with the City Council will hopefully bare fruit-top dressing and increased irrigation are essential-however all these factors depends on our weather patterns. Mower and rollers still manage to perform their duties on a day-to-day basis with both the tractor and roller being given an annual overhaul recently. Dann/Timpson, our loyal keeper of good wickets, has put in long hour on your behalf-normally these people only hear about bad playing conditions-how about a wee word of thanks from time to time. Rolling, cutting and marking is very time consuming and Danny and Mike have done a very good job this season-thanks

The 2003/04 season was an extremely important one for the first grade team members.To be assured of a place in the revised top six competition for the 2004/05 season the team would have to finish in the top three.This was always going to be a tough ask for such an inexperienced group of players. However, every endeavour was made to prepare the team for the task that lay ahead.There was an improved attitude towards preseason training and everyone was feeling confident heading into the season. The side had a number of young players who all showed throughout the season that they had what it takes to be quality senior cricketers in the years to come.These younger players were guided during the season by a number of older heads.This mix of youthful enthusiasm and the calming influence of the experienced team members meant that the team was able to play some positive attacking cricket and push for a result when ever possible. In the process of being positive, a number of extremely close 2-day games were lost when the result could have gone either way. The team eventually finished 7th place in the 2-day competition and 6th= in the I-day competition. These placing's are not really a true reflection of how the team performed throughout the season. We had our chances against Riccarton, Lancaster ParkWoolston and Sydenham during the 2- day competition, but were unable to put these teams away in closely fought encounters. There were a number of team performances throughout the season that were encouraging and show that there is real potential within this team for the future. Our first big win of the season came against a Canterbury Country rep side that was playing its first game in the I -day competition. This Country side had previously played the Canterbury metropolitan side in a trail match and were only just beaten.They had a lot of confidence going into this game and were expected to dominate us.As it turns out we completely dominated them.We put on over 200 and bowled them out for 64.This game gave our side a great deal of confidence.Another highlight for the season was the 2-day win just prior to Christmas over Old Collegians. After a non eventful first day we declared about 50 runs behind hoping that we would knock them over or they would set us a reasonable target. One of their batsmen played the innings of a lifetime, and carted our attack all over the ground. It seemed that no matter what line or length the ball was bowled, it disappeared to the boundary. We were set a daunting target of 230 off about 45 overs.We lost early wickets and were in a little trouble at tea.Then Kristian Nuttall and Jonny Rea came to the crease and had a match winning partnership of over 100 runs.We eventually won by 3 wickets and the feeling this created within the team was one of self-belief. Other individual performances of note throughout the season include the consistency of the eventual player of the year,Alex Hedges.Alex scored 419 runs at an average of 19.95 and took 26 wickets at an average of just 17.35. Mark Harding achieved the highest individual score of the season with a superb innings of 92 against Old Collegians.The most devastating innings came from AshleyTaggart who smashed 68 off 55 balls including a 50 that came off just 28 balls. Darren Thomas, in the short time he was at the club, proved to be a great bowling asset taking 21 wickets at an average of 18 in 8 matches, as was Scott Inglis who took 27 wickets for the season. I would like to take this opportunity to thank Garfield Charles for all his invaluable advise and coaching expertise throughout the season. I hope that the team continues to develop and we should start to see some positive results next season. I look forward to a successful 2004/05 season and hope everyone is back for another year.

The 03/04 season started early for a lot of us with some winter training at Canterbury Cricket with Seniors coach Garfield Charles. This proved extremely helpful to get the players enthusiastic and excited for the coming season, with high, achievable expectations for the team and club. it was definitely a season of two halves with the second half being a very dominant one for the team with only one loss after Christmas.

We had a welcome return by one of the elders of the club, vice captain Dominic Maxwell. His contribution with bat, ball and especially his fielding proved inspirational. It was great to see that his recent engagement to Nadia hadn't affected him at all, congratulations.

There were plenty of individual performances this season with a number of batsmen consistently getting past the fifty run target. There were though, two amazing innings this season.The first, Keiran Lee made a match winning I 10* against Riccarton in a 2-day game and then Stephen Dellabarca bludgeoned 109 in an innings victory against East Shirley Budgies,this was Dell's first ever century. Well done guys.

Our stand out bowler and eventual player of the season was Matt Coulter with 36 wickets at 10.6 and best figures of 6/46 against HSOB, he also had two more five wicket bags. Dell also chimed in with 34 wickets.

We had a number of emerging players step up this year. Dean Birmingham (Coaster) was outstanding with bat in hand and also excelled behind the stumps keeping. Also Danny Neilson who at times bowled very impressively with the new ball and can only get better. It holds us in good stead for next season with the loss of Mark Routledge, Dell and K Lee all getting overseas for OE's etc. Enjoy.

We ended the one-day season tied for 4th and unfortunately missed out on the semis due to a round robin loss to Sydenham and other circumstances which I won't mention. We did however leave our run a bit too late but ended with four wins on the trot, including a win over table leaders Old Colls at Elmwood.

In the 2-day competition we stormed home into 2nd place thanks to an innings win in our final game and a huge victory the previous game over highly confident Easts 'A. With only one 2 day loss this season we were definitely one of the more competitive teams in this grade.

All in all a great season and I would like to thank the whole team and club for the help and efforts put in this season. It was my first season being captain and appreciated all the help. There is a great club spirit at the moment and hope this continues into 04/05 as we have the personnel to get this club back on top. Lets make the 100th year of BWCUCC a memorable one after all it is the'Home of Cricket".

The Burnside Gold team consisted of several regular players, who were committed to turning up to games each Saturday. Numbers were made up each week by ring-ins that were always keen to play.Afew of these ring-ins gradually became permanent fixtures in the team towards the end of the season.

Performances with the ball (and a few cameos at the end of the order) saw legspin bowler Paul Shackleton's efforts acknowledged, receiving Most Valuable Player Award at the prize giving.

Daniel O'Keefe was destructive with the new ball, as was David Harding, each taking their fair share of wickets. Both players contributed to the batting by scoring valuable runs.These batting efforts were backed up throughout the season by NickWoolley, Jeffery and Patrick Thompson, Kieran Sutherland, Alun Campbell and myself.

Jordan Buchanan brought to the team, well, something different. Not only did he take a number of wickets in the short amount of time he played, but he also provided a running commentary and batting tips for the opposing batsmen. His efforts with the bat were also valued by the team

The two highlights of the second half of the season were beating a team by 9 wickets in one game, and almost beating the top team in another. Had it not been for an unfortunate temporary blindness and deafness from their umpires, this would have been the upset of the year.

My hope is that many of these players mentioned will come back in the 2004-05 season, to continue moving our way up the competition table. Unfortunately, due to unknown circumstances, we have no stats, as the scorebook seems to have gone astray.

27 Third Grade Maroon

season was a very successful one for BWU Maroon.We were dominant and "throughout the season and were agonizing)/ close to achieving our goal of winning Our squad evolved through the season but remained well balanced and competitive even when a number of players were contributing to our 2nd Grade team s successful campaign. The team played in good spirits and was very easy to captain.

Our batting was particularly strong this year and a lack of genuine tailenders made selecting the batting line up very difficult. No less than 12 different players shared in the 17 half centuries and I century scored by the team and only in two matches did the team fail to produce at least one half century - one of those matches being our only loss of the season. Leading our batting from the top were Player of the Season, Ben Allan scoring 328 runs at 29.8 including innings of 72, 60 and 77, Mike Robins with 353 runs at 32.1 including innings of 92 and 71, and Liam OToole scoring 240 runs at 26.7 including innings of 56, 70 and 60 . Mark Shackleton re-joined the team after Christmas and made an immediate impact with innings of 47 and 54 at the top of the order. Geoff Boorer had scores of 77 and 101 in the middle order while Luke Lindsay contributed a couple of important innings early in the season including 50 against RJccarton.

Of particular note were half centuries for four of our allrounders. Daniel Allan (56) and Gareth Gibson (66*) combined for a match winning 105 run 8th wicket stand against East Shirley Blue after our top order collapsed. Daniel Nielsen had a solid day at the office against BWU Gold hitting 50 not out then taking 5-35, while Richard Clare smashed a brilliant 53 batting at number 9 against East Shirley Gold after another middle order collapse.

Other innings of note were Canterbury Draught's (still named Gareth Lawson at the time) first match 32 against Sydenham, Peter Yardley's patient 22 against Old Cols in a low scoring match, Christian Rogers agricultural 31 not out against Riccarton and Campbell LeHeron's 28 not out against Old Cols.Justin Summers returned from long term injury with three solid innings including 62 against Riccarton while Euan Stewart scored 50 against East Shirley Gold in his first innings for 2-3 years.

Our bowling was led by three of the best bowlers in the competition this year. Daniel Nielsen with 26 wickets at I 0.8 was unplayable at times and his 9 wickets in the final 2 day match against East Shirley Gold was very impressive. Campbell LeHeron was absent for 5 days cricket due to his wedding but still managed to take 28 wickets at 13.7. Campbell's bunny team was Old Cols who he took two 4-wicket bags against. Gareth Gibson started his BWU career with a marathon 21 overs against LPW and consistently took wickets to finish with 23 wickets at 13. In the final match he lifted his pace significantly which East Shirley were unable to cope with and his 4-19 was thoroughly deserved.

Geoff Boorers 29 wickets at 11.7 managed to squeeze Campbell LeHeron out of the top wicket taking spot. His ability to take wickets with his deceiving full tosses proved a valuable asset late in the season. Peter Yard ley's bounce provided numerous unplayable deliveries and resulted in a couple of crucial wickets. However, his unfortunate ability to take wickets off no-balls prevented him taking the number of wickets he deserved. Richard Clares best bowling was his 3-18 when he opened the bowling against BWU Gold. Golden Arm Daniel Allan took wickets with every chance he was given at the bowling crease, usually in pairs, while Canterbury Draught's ability to tie up an end earned him a number of wickets. Daniel Hamilton produced a brutal spell of 4-1 I against Riccarton while Christian Rogers and Scott Bermingham made very important contributions against LPW in particular.

Ben Allan and Mike Robins both furthered their claims as genuine allrounders when they produced devastating innings ending spells. Ben Allan's cunning leg spinners netted him 1-6 (0.5 overs) for

28 season, while Mike Robin's deceiving left him with 1-0 from his single of the year.

fielding was of a generally high standard.We took a high percentage of our catches with ,terYardley and Liam O'Toole taking a number of catches each in the cover/point and slips/keeper respectively. Mike Robins and Ben Allan shared the bulk of the keeping duties. Ben was I'pticularly impressive considering this was his first year as a keeper, claiming several very difficult itches. Liam O'Toole and Henry Cook also performed admirably with the gloves when called

upon.

were a number of significant and memorable matches for us during the season.We struggled back to^a <^rayv against arch-rivals LPW after looking set for defeat. We recovered from 93/7 against East Shirley to score 231 and we battled through a wet and dodgy pitch for a satisfying ^jn over an unjustifiably arrogant StAlbans team.Two hard fought wins over the talented BWU Gold team were also crucial even though they were unfortunately under-strength for both matches.

y^e had only a few disappointments during the season.We dropped three easy bonus points in our win over RJccarton.We batted poorly in our draw against eventual competition winners LpW.We bowled poorly against Sydenham then fell just short in our batting for our only loss of the season.We then crucially had our competition deciding one day match versus LPW rained off denying us our chance to regain the lead.

There were also a number of significant moments during the season. Daniel Allan gave an unfortunate Sydenham tailender a vicious send off after clean bowling him in the first match of the season. Campbell LeHeron tried to hide his early season hangover by moving a generous 5 meters away from the team before emptying his stomach. Gareth Lawson provided a major highlight for the team when he won the "Change Your Name to Canterbury Draught" competition. He then celebrated this when he strolled out to face the final ball of the innings against StAlbans and calmly slotted it over long on for 6! No doubt the low light of the season was seeing our brand new gazebo destroyed by wind as we watched helplessly from the field.The team was understandably shattered by the loss and we went on to lose our only match of the season that day.

Thanks tojustin Summers, Mark Routledge, Gareth Hay, Josh Allan, Rhodes Wallace, John Waters, Brendan Coffey, Jordan Buchanan, Kieran Sutherland, Kirk Pritchard, lan MacAlavey, Zach Hitchcock, Sam LeHeron and Guy Butterfield for their contributions during the season.

Overall 2003/04 was a very impressive and enjoyable season for BWU Maroon.We played with aggression and confidence and were unlucky not to win the competition.A couple of our players are likely to make the step up to second grade next year but we should otherwise be full strength for the coming season and have a good chance of taking the competition. With BWU Gold finishing last season so strongly there is a great chance for BWU take the top two spots next year, Maroon at the top of course.

This year Burnside Maroon entered its first team in the fifth grade cricket competition.This team was a mix with established players and some with next to no cricketing experience.A highly enjoyable season but the results were very much like that of the Black Caps recent test record, sublime moments but too many inconsistencies. Good results against Old Colls, Marist, Riccarton, and the highly charged local derbies against Burnside Gold a particular rival, as we knew most of their players, were the highlights. It was pleasing to see the majority of the squad improving throughout the season, this was combined with some magnificent individual performances at times.

HIGHLIGHTS Nicholas Tither who was the most consistent run scorer and as a result was top run scorer, proved to be the anchor of a number of innings with two half-centuries,and a swashbuckling "! 17*, including a memorable six, first ball after bringing his hundred, hooked behind square-leg from the tip of his nostrils, which incidentally was his first in competitive cricket.

HIGHLIGHTS Burnside Maroon were struggling against Riccarton, until the captain David Sinclair bought himself on with the ball to deliver a spell that will be forever remembered as the sublime control of . Sinclair proceeded to take seven wickets at a cost of just two runs. Six of which were bowled, including five in one over, and two hat tricks. Sinclair went on to perform very well for the side and became top-wicket taker.

Arj Gil the Indian paceman who could swing it both ways could have been top wicket taker if it wasn't for his mid season holiday to his home country.

Fred Morgan the most improved bowler in the team being 6 foot 5 inches he had the potential to be a threatWith practice he gained an amount of control which saw him hiving an uncanny knack of taking important wickets.

Jared Campbell and Chris Nielsen for steering us to victory after being 3 wickets for 0 runs after I over.The 100+ run partnership being the best of the season.

Special thanks to the other regulars Tim, Carl, Scott and number eleven Ollie who hit a cracking cover drive for his only boundary of the season.

120Withells Road,Avonhead 31 I Fifth Grade Gold

BWU Gold started off the year with a dominant win over the Blue team, proving we could compete in the grade.-.however it turned out to be our only win of the season although we did have many close matches.-.Our trick was to get ourselves close enough to win but then never actually do it... High light match of the season was when we were chasing 287 to win in an impossible chase and we only fell 9 runs short, including 3 sixes in a row in the last over from Big Gary De Freitas....Ben Hilliam was player of the year opening the batting and getting 3 or 4 fifties, but lacked partnership from the rest of the team. David Fyfe was again the key bowler opening up with express pace backed up competently by the likes of Jeff Smith and Craig Redmond. Bad luck goes to Bevan Urn who on approach to his first fifty ever was decieved by a great delivery and was dismissed for 49. Everyone made contributions with the bat at times, on and off but we lacked a bit of consistency. Battles with the other Burnside teams were always close affairs, with good rivalrys emerging

For the BWU SNCC team the 2003-2004 season finally culminated in delivering the silverware we'd coveted so much yet had been unable due to alot of near misses and close calls to get both hands on over the previous four seasons.This season was hallmarked by success which was celebrated through some stellar performances from some of the old guard and from the new blokes picked up in the off season which all resulted in a record of 15 wins and 3 losses.

Highlights for the season were: *Nick Core/ taking 29 wickets and scoring 350 runs in only 12 games *Luke McClintock achieveing his highest score in cricket 45 and also chipping in with a dozen wickets *Steve Dawson and James Reid scoring 95 runs for the tenth wicket to beat Riccarton Gold *Scott Kilday on his return match from a 2 year absence taking 5-30 off eight overs *The Skipper (Zak Sutton) scoring a century (126), leading runscorer (475), and receiving the Al Brown Trophy

Over the season we happily welcomed back Tim Calder from Japan and Cameron Pickering from Retirement to boost the playing ranks but sadly we farewelled team stalwarts Richard Spackman (the founding member to London), Steve Dawson to Melbourne and Hamish Rendall to the Middle East they will be sadly missed.

Overall a fantastic season for everyone involved with big thanks to the Club for your support and understanding throughout the season and with planning already underway we will be back to defend the title next season without doubt.

32 Sixth Grade

The 2003/2004 season turned out to be one of great success for the 6th grade side.While at times we sold ourselves short and turned in some inconsistent performances, at our best we were a tight and solid unit.As a social team we definitely enjoyed that side of things, but also took the approach that winning was the most fun we could have.We achieved a balance that saw us jointly winning the grade with StAlbans, finishing with I 2 wins, 7 losses and 3 no results, but also having plenty of laughs. Before Christmas we werenit able to field a regular line up and by seasons end we had used 25 players, including 3 members each of 2 families. Once we managed to get a core group for each week we improved and were unbeaten from mid February onwards. Everything we did was based around a solid team effort, everybody at some point in the season made some form of vital contribution, From Tonyis inimitable batting to Cameronis lethal in swingers and Stuarts lust/ hitting, but special mention has to be made of Sam Taylor, whois 43 wickets was the most taken by a bowler for the club this season. He caused headaches for batsmen all season and with Toby Smith (33 wickets) gave us a damaging new ball duo. Delwyn Ledingham was a rock at the top of the order scoring 386 runs, the stand out innings being a brilliant I I I against Sydenham red. Hems cricket was a new experience for us all with this being our first year out of the underage grades and we at times found ourselves playing against guys a lot older than us who had a number of years of lower grade play under their belts, but it was a good way for us to toughen our attitudes and more often than not we came out on the good side of the ledger, lid like to thank all of the guys for a thoroughly enjoyable season, and make mention of the many fill in players we used; we wouldnit have been able to get on the pitch most weeks without them, also the support and assistance ofAshleyTaggart and Brian Hastings from within the club was much appreciated. Overall we were very proud of our results; with a highlight being attending the Canterbury cricket awards evening and we had some great times off the park. Most of us are keen to be back next season at one level or another and we're looking forward to summer already.

Eric White took his 1500th wicket before Christmas and then decided to have a heart attack giving him four weeks restAfter the doctors clearance it took 5 more games to get his next wicket! Well-done Eric.

The Annual Tour went to Highlander Country (Dunedin) and the weather was great, so they say. Our team came second but enjoyed the southern hospitality with a BBQ after the game. Sunday saw a rather trying game of golf and a long drive home.Well-organised Bryce.

Congratulations to Tim and Natasha on the arrival of their first son George. Thanks to Grant and Nick/ Dickson for hosting our end of season dinner all paid for with kind donations throughout the year, mostly from Denis Pyatt.

Even on away games The Presidents Men always made use of the Presidents Corner at the club every Saturday night and we wish to acknowledge the support of our team sponsors Fox & Associates and Warwick Beatson Travel.

I would like to thank all team members and their partners for their support this season and hope to see you all again next season.

Finally we have 2 or 3 contracts waiting to be filled for next season. Just give me a phone call.

Stum pings R Chisholm 6 VVomen's First Reserve

The season started promising after bringing the team from Harewood Cricket Club with a of 13 players.A number of the girls had never played cricket before but they put in a and time into practicing, with some good skills showed by Chantal Brown and Niche la Taggart during the season.We managed to draw our first game against StAlbans, one of the top teams in the competition. Unfortunately after that we struggled with numbers during the university break, only managing to play with 8 or 9 players on a regular basis.When we did have a full team we convincingly beat the three teams that finished at the top of the table in the one day competition with some excellent individual performances , in particular Katherine dark with 5-28 against competition winners Sydenham.

We were competitive in the shortened two day competition, where we drew all our matches with the highlight occurring in the final game, with Emma McDonald scoring a magnificent 191 in an opening partnership stand of 254 with Sophie Gurnsey. Overall it was a pretty tough season with a lack of numbers affecting our performances, however many of the girls gained some valuable skills with the coaching from AshleyTaggart and a number of other senior players, it is hoped that the effort put in by these players and the club will ensure that the girls team will continue on next season at Burnside.

Katie Kinraid

Women's Third Grade

The team fought well despite a player shortage in a number of games.

Our games on Burnside Oval were particularly enjoyable and each game was keenly contested.

Good improvement took place throughout the season, with an excellent team-spirit evident.

The strength of the side was consistent, accurate bowling.Wickets were evenly shared among the top bowlers. But all members had a highlight or two, whether batting, bowling, or fielding, throughout the season.

EvaWilson and Juliette Svitsen combined in a number of good opening partnerships, but in general batting was the 'Achilles Heel' of the side.

The captain, Kirsty Carlton,was an excellent leader.

We are indebted to the support of Mark Harding andAshleyTaggart from the senior side for their time and coaching help during the season.

37 Junior Cricket

This season saw the introduction of grade managers and the club is indebted to them for the outstanding and enthusiastic work they have done in ensuring the smooth running of their respective grade.They are: Jane Thomson (Have a Go), Richard Little (Kiwi), David Wise (Junior Average) and Roger Fuller (Sat Morn).To the many parents who coached teams or provided help for the coach or grade managers, a big thank you on behalf of the club.

Registered numbers were just under 300 junior cricketers playing in grades from "Have a Go" to Saturday morning U 14 Team. Have a Go numbers were down significantly from last season but Friday night cricket still proved popular with Kiwi cricket having seven teams and Junior Average having six teams with Upper Riccarton s two teams joining in with us giving us a total of 60 children in this grade and they had a very good season with particularly fine weather making it a better season than past ones. For Saturday morning cricket the Club entered I I teams plus an Under 14 team for the 2003/04 season. Overall the season was very enjoyable, with all teams having good success within their competitions.

A special thank you must go to the volunteers who gave up their time to either coach, manage, score, or assist in some way with a team. Without you, getting teams on the field would not happen. I am sure looking back on the season you will all have got some satisfaction either by learning more about the game of cricket, or seeing the development and potential of players.

The Burnside Club was well represented in Zone teams throughout the season, as well as 6 players going onto participate in the South Island Primary Schools tournament held in Dunedin. From this tournament 4 players were selected in the Under 14 Canterbury team.

I am pleased to inform you that Roger Fuller was the recipient of the clubs Junior Award "for outstanding contribution" to the Club during the season.

It is very pleasing to watch parents playing with the children before cricket commences, for its your participation and encouragement which the children look for and we look forward to seeing you all again next season supporting the Club

Finally to the Senior Committee, many thanks for your support over the season, especially Brian Hastings for his enthusiasm into Junior Cricket, and to Danny for his excellent preparation of the wickets, for all our coaches and visiting parents and coaches have remarked that they are the best in Christchurch.

Tony Scott Club Manager

Well - what a season it was! The team stepped up into the 40 overs each way format and found It was more challenging and exciting than ever before.The xtra overs meant that batting required shot selection and the prospects of getting some good scores.Bowling and fielding placement too became more of a thinking game with the extra time on the field.We played 17 full games losing only 2 games to the weather.This included one international game against a touring University team from Japan,The Wayverns.The Club format allowed us to play through the end of 2003 and into 2004 with the same team, which was great for continuity. Our season top score was 246 for 5, and best bowling results 10 wickets for 59 runs.We scored 2555 runs and took 140 wickets over all, having great fun along the way. We won the U 15 Christmas Pub Charity League and were promoted from U 14 Section C to U 14 Section B, finishing in the middle of the Section B league table.

Well done guys!! Cheers, Gary Prest Coach.
