1 THE PATHWAY THROUGH A LIFETIME OF CRICKET
Most cricketers start their playing career at an early age in the backyard with “Test Matches” Thank you to our Sponsors against Mum, Dad or their siblings. Playing rules are simple – a boundary four into the rose bushes, but over the fence into the neighbour’s yard is six and out, plus having to go and recover Thank you to our Sponsors the ball! All Clubs, members and associates are encouraged to support the products and/or services provided by our various sponsors Just as the child starts his/her formal education at kindergarten level, Kanga (or, as it has been re- badged over the years for marketing purposes, Milo Cricket and In2Cricket) is the kindergarten HK&HDCA Sponsors of a club which, like the school system, is the first step in the pathway that takes the child to a possible lifetime of involvement in and enjoyment from the game. At that age, children and their parents are reluctant to move straight into competitive hardball cricket, but are looking for an introductory non-competitive skills and fun based structured program to introduce them to the present day game.
This starting platform allows development of hand/eye co-ordination and cricket skills but importantly sees the child become active and socialising in a team/group environment. It also gives mums, dads and even grandparents an opportunity to participate and be involved in the activity with their children and thus build stronger family relationships – and, for the club, provides a source of parent volunteers in the future as the child advances through the junior age groups.
There is no such thing as a “good” or “bad” Kanga player and this concept can lead to it becoming part of a club’s culture with the possible adoption of a “participation over results” policy that embraces the aim of giving equal opportunity to every player within each team and age group.
As the child moves through primary and secondary levels at school (years 1 to 12), so too he/she advances from Kanga through the junior age groups from Under 8 to Under 16 gaining knowledge and further skills, forming lasting friendships with fellow teammates as well as an appreciation of the meaning of the phrase “The Spirit of Cricket” which would hold them in good stead in their life outside the cricket arena. At the same time, they might test their ability and acquired skills against others of similar age beyond their normal weekly competition game by becoming available for selection in their Association Representative teams.
Having reached the age of 16, the player graduates to the equivalent of tertiary education level – Seniors where, like education, rankings start to be made on ability. After many continuous years of cricketing in this area, the player is entitled to be known as a Graduate of the School of Hard Knocks in Cricket and, as an Alumni, to play with similar age players in Over 40’s “Masters” or Over 50’s “Classics” matches. Upon retirement from active play, the player, by then a senior in both age and experience, might become an umpire! HK&HDCAHK&HDCA Representative Sponsors Sponsors
A worthy lifetime spent walking along the pathway of cricket.

8 The HK&HDCA is extremely fortunate to have Hornsby RSL as our sponsor partner. We have just completed our third year together and I am pleased to say they will continue into 2014/15. Hornsby RSL has given the Association and many of our affiliated groups a true home location to meet and socialize.
The RSL is a terrific fit for the HK&HDCA and I can truly say it is an excellent location for the many meetings we hold throughout the year as well as hosting our various sub-committee meetings and our affiliated bodies such as the Umpire’s and Coach’s Association meetings. Post meeting we can enjoy a relaxing drink together which has created a healthy social scene for all involved. This helps assure that our meeting attendance num- bers are strong which is crucial.
The RSL also hosts our largest and most prestigious event in the Junior/Representative Presentation by kindly provided their excellent Showroom facilities for our use. Again in 2013/14 this event was extremely well sup- ported with over 500 people in attendance to appropriately review our most successful representative season ever and recognize the highest achievers.
The RSL is also a great location to host our less formal events such as our season launch (mid July) and annu- al Christmas Drinks (late November) which have become very popular and enjoyable annual events.
My thanks in particular to senior RSL manager Steve Rigney who manages our sponsorship each year and Jo Gilbert who so professionally manages our many bookings and events through the year.
9 The HK&HDCA has been proud to receive sponsorship from Kooka- burra Sport since 2004-05 and in February 2013, both parties agreed to continue this partnership until at least the 2017-18 season, with in- creased ball royalties (rebates) included in the deal. This season Kook- aburra sponsored HK&HDCA and member clubs to the tune of over $7,500, comprising ball rebates, prizes and other in-kind benefits. HK&HDCA sincerely thanks Noel Moig and Camer- on Eve, a former player of our Association, for all their support and assistance.
ABOUT KOOKABURRA Kookaburra Sport was established in 1890. For the first 100 years of its existence, Kookaburra Sport traded as A G Thompson Pty Ltd and many members of the Thompson family are still involved in the day to day running of the com- pany, looking to extend its award winning record as the world’s best known manufacturer of cricket and hockey balls.
The Kookaburra name is synonymous with Australian sport. Not only is Kookaburra Sport the largest producer of cricket balls in the world, its cricket bats and ultra light protective equipment are used by the world’s elite batsmen, including Ricky Ponting, Mike Hussey, Ian Bell, AB De Villiers and Brad Haddin.
Kookaburra’s world famous Turf cricket balls are used exclusively in Test cricket in Australia, New Zealand, South Af- rica, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and Zimbabwe, with Pakistan being another Kookaburra stronghold.
SPONSORSHIP AGREEMENT WITH HK&HDCA In addition to generous rebates on the purchase of Kookaburra branded balls (Regulation 4 piece, Tuff Pitch and Red King 2 piece), the agreement includes some fantastic Kookaburra Rising Star Awards, with 5 monthly award winners receiving $100 worth of Kookaburra gear, and the overall winner being presented with a trophy and $500 worth of Kook- aburra gear, including a terrific new cricket bat.

This incredible decision, for which our AssociationHK&HDCA was givenPresident no notice or an opportunity to comment, is extremely unfair and needs to be rectified with this subsidy passed to all hirers. Kenthurst is a quality turf wicket and crucially important to the A Grade competition and continued development of the Clubs on that side of our Association’s boundaries. Our Association’s Executive will need to work with the Clubs and their members based in the Hills Shire Council area to put pressure on their local Council and Councillors to have this resolution reversed or at least amended.
On the other hand, we must recognize and thank the Council’s Head Groundsman, Anthony Donaldson and his team for the excellent work that they did on not only the Kenthurst wicket but the other Council astro grounds that HK&HDCA used in 2012/13. Thanks also to Peter Wright for his quality finishing touches on the Kenthurst turf wicket.
Nathan Tilbury HK&HDCA President
11 COUNCIL REPORTS: Continued
KU-RING-GAI COUNCIL
Once again, the Association has been provided with excellent turf pitches at both of The Glade and Turramurra Oval, and we extend our sincere appreciation to the ground staff, the Sportsfield Maintenance Supervisor, Peter Barrett, for his total cooperation in the management of our grounds, and to the Team Leader, Phil Imber and groundsman, Christian Barret, who prepared Turramurra and The Glade respectively.
The tremendous improvement in the presentation of the quality of the turf pitches and the outfields continues under thus very committed team. This has been the tenure of the feedback from both the team captains and the umpires throughout the season, although, due to the rain in the last few weeks of our season, we were unable to utilise these grounds to the fullest.
The remaining grounds across this local government area have also been in excellent condition this past season, and given that the weather conditions were conducive to good growth, the consistency of the mowing throughout the season presented our lower grades with great playing conditions.
In addition, it is appropriate to recognise the total cooperation extended by the Grounds Administration team of Guy Thomas and Matthew Joyce. Their willingness to adjust to our requests for assistance has been greatly appreciated.
As our association continues to grow and demand for sporting facilities increases, we are heartened to see the on-going development of the North Turramurra Project. This project, when completed in 2015-16, will provide an additional three playing fields, which we will be sharing with the other summer sports.
Geoff Hasler HK&HDCA Vice President
HORNSBY SHIRE COUNCIL Hornsby Shire Council (HSC) prepare the majority of Council grounds our Association uses and they have always provided us with excellent facilities at all levels of cricket, this season was no different.
Once again HSC provided top quality turf wickets for our premier senior competitions; A Grade and Kookaburra Cup and many of our representative team’s home matches. I would like to sincerely thank Geoff Witt, HSC Parks Service Unit Coordinator, and his two dedicated groundsmen, Kristian Mitchell (Berowra & Parklands) and Darren Green (Storey & Asquith) for the great work and service they provided again this summer. These guys take lot of pride in their work and obviously enjoy what they do. This is reflected in the quality of pitches they consistently produce for our best cricketers.
We will continue to work with HSC senior management and Hornsby Councillors to help bring forward badly required new sportsground facilities, particularly in the West Pennant Hills area where the situation for both summer winter sports has also reached a critical point.
Hornsby Council continued to upgrade their grounds and facilities. In recent times Cheltenham Oval, Greenway No. 2 and Foxglove North and South grounds have received significant work. The end result being much better grounds to play on even after heavy rainy periods because of the considerable improvement in these grounds’ drainage. It is pleasing to see Montview East and West is scheduled in for similar attention shortly as it is much needed at these grounds.
During the winter the Executive have been working closely with Hornsby Council to discover ways how we can more efficiently use their facilities, in particularly their turf wicket grounds. The intention is for the cricketers to take more “ownership” of these facilities and give the Association more security in terms of retaining these facilities in the long term future.

Executive Committee –Bruce Wood (President); Justin Epthorp (Vice-President); Josh Miller (Secretary); Rod Hokin (Head Coach) and Will Fiedler (Treasurer) General Committee – Sujith Dissanayake, Brad McCarroll, Peter Watts, Shishu Sharma and Todd Williams Patrons – Ross Turner, Tom Richmond OAM and Matt Kean MP (Member for Hornsby).
School holiday junior cricket clinics in partnership with Northern District CC HKHDCCA conducted six successful cricket clinics during the school holidays in 2013-14, as follows: • Mark Taylor Oval, Waitara (AM) 25 – 27 September 2013 – 60 children and 10 accredited coaches attended; • Montview Oval, Hornsby Heights (PM) 25 – 27 September 2013 – 28 children and 5 accredited coaches; • Mark Taylor Oval, Waitara 13 – 14 January 2014 – 82 children (74 boys & 8 girls) and 12 accredited coaches; • Kenthurst Park 15 – 17 January 2014 – 20 children and 4 accredited coaches; •Montview Oval, Hornsby Heights 20 – 21 September 2014 – 26 children and 5 accredited coaches; • Mark Taylor Oval, Waitara 22 – 24 January 2014 – 75 children and 12 coaches.
The coaches engaged during these school holiday clinics included Rod Hokin (Head Coach), Bruce Wood (Co ordinator), Justin Epthorp, Josh Miller, Sujith Dissanayake & Rebecca Silk (all Level 2 accredited coaches); Dave Lowery, Daniel Wood, Will Fiedler, Daniel Anderson, James Madden, Braden Cheng, Calvin Breytenbach, Nathan Tanner, Nick McNay, Nicky Miller, Aaron Crofts, Luke Thorburn, Harry Middlebrook and Hamish Fullagar (Level 1 coaches). We were pleased to welcome Becca Silk from Sussex, England, who played for NDCC in 2013/14. The clinics provided a busy program of activities for the boys & girls aged between 5 & 14, which included video analysis of the bowlers’ actions; use of a bowling machine (when available) with a specialist batting coach to improve individual techniques; coaching on pace & spin bowling, catching, throwing and wicket-keeping skills; training in the nets (astro and turf); and a range of coaching drills and centre- wicket games on the oval to reinforce the cricket skills learnt.
HKHDCCA U/10 – U/11 off-season development program (May – August 2013) HKHDCCA held its third annual U/10 – U/11 off-season Development Program at James Park, Hornsby over six Sundays (5 May, 26 May, 23 June, 14 July, 4 August & 25 August 2013). This popular program provided our youngest representative age groups with some properly structured coaching from accredited Level 1 and 2 coaches in small groups in order to learn the fundamentals of the game and the correct techniques, particularly in their transition from soft to hard ball cricket. We averaged around 55 – 60 registrations on each date. Two sessions were held on each date from 8.30 – 10.30am and 10.30am – 12.30pm to ensure individualised coaching for each player.
The development program included batting and bowling in the nets (with an additional batting coach for one-on-one coaching for all batsmen); front & back foot defence, drives, cuts & pull shots; pace & spin bowling grips and deliveries; refinement of bowling actions where necessary, including techniques to keep the seam upright using dual-coloured balls; short & longer catching and throwing; ground fielding; calling and running between the wickets, and wicket-keeping skills. This program assisted in the preparation of HK&HDCA’s Foster & Creak Shield teams to make the finals.
Specialist Coaching Program (May - August 2013) HKHDCCA held its first Specialist Coaching Program, which provided subsidised, high quality coaching for U12 – U15 players covering batting, pace & spin bowling, wicket-keeping and fielding. The sessions took place at James Park, Hornsby over four Sundays (19 May, 16 June, 28 July & 11 August 2013). This specialist coaching program was ideal for representative standard players and stronger club players who were looking to significantly improve their skills before the 2013/14 cricket season. Due to the success and positive feedback from this initial Specialist Coaching Program, it will become an annual event for HKHDCCA and will be expanded in 2014.
Ross Turner Cup / Glenn Hourigan Cup – September 2013 The Coaches’ Association continues to be responsible for organising the annual RTC and GHC fixtures. A successful T20 day was held for the GHC age groups on 8 September 2013 at Foxglove Oval, Mt Colah, involving four teams (48 players) from the U/13s to U/11s. The main RTC and GHC matches took place on 22 September 2013 at Turramurra Oval and Karuah Park respectively, being the first time they had been played as pre-season events, rather than in March due to wash-outs in previous years. Our special guests this season were Jon Whealing, the current Captain of Northern District’s First Grade team and the only cricketer to play in four RTC matches, plus the respected gentlemen, Ross Turner and Glenn Hourigan. Both matches were high level contests involving the leading Shield rep. players in the Association. HKHDCCA provided opportunities for some outstanding young coaches, with Will Fiedler (East) and Sujith Dissanayake (West) coaching the RTC teams; and Alex Dolly & Matt McVay (East) and John Anderson & Daniel Heidegger (West) coaching the GHC teams, including the preliminary T20 matches.
HKHDCCA held its first in-house professional development ‘Coach the Coaches’ night at Action Indoor Sports, Mt Ku ring-gai on 17 June 2013, which was run by Rod Hokin and attended by 15 accredited coaches. The Coaches’ Association organised a Cricket Australia Community (Level 1) accredited coaching course at Action Indoor Sports, Mt Ku-ring-gai on 21 July 2013. Congratulations to the 24 people who graduated. HKHDCCA held a successful free coaching clinic for new cricketers (U/8 or older) at James Park on 18 August 2013 from 9.00am – 11.30am, with 40 boys from a wide variety of cricket clubs in attendance. The Coaches’ Association’s annual Coach of Year Award (Bruce Wood Cup) continues to recognise excellence in cricket coaching within HK&HDCA, including representative and/or club coaching, plus HKHDCCA cricket clinics. The award for 2013/14 was won by Josh Miller, Level 2 coach of the HK&HDCA U/16 Watson Shield team (Minor Premiers).

Northern District Cricket Club had a very successful year! Some of the highlights of the season were: Getting cricketers to reach their potential (and perform) is a team effort.

Timm van der Gugten
HK&HDCA reps. to First Class cricket with NSW and Tasmania, and international cricket for Netherlands.
HK&HDCA congratulates former local rep. player, Timm van der Gugten, on his outstanding performances for the Netherlands in the ICC T20 World Cup in Bangladesh in March 2014. Timm gained international cricket acclaim, taking 9 wickets @ 18.77 (BB 3/30); economy rate 6.76; including the important wickets of JP Duminy (South Africa); Brendon McCullum, Ross Taylor and Martin Guptill (New Zealand); and Eoin Morgan (England).
Timm played for Hornsby DCC until the Under 11s before switching to Normanhurst CC in the Under 12s in 2002-03 when his Hornsby club team folded. He played for Normanhurst for 3 years and in HK&HDCA representative teams for 5 years, before making his First Grade debut for the University of NSW at age 15, becoming the 8th youngest debutant in history. Timm starred in the undefeated Under 15 Weblin Shield premiership team in 2005-06, scoring a (then) record 294 runs @ 73.5 average (HS 130) and taking 11 wickets @ 11.6 (BB 6/23). This amazing all- round performance won him the NSWDCA Weblin Shield Player of Year and the HK&HDCA Tom Richmond Trophy for the Leading Junior Representative Player. Timm also played in the HK&HDCA Ross Turner Cup matches in 2004 & 2005. Timm’s best bowling figures in First Class cricket are 7/68 (10/121 in match); in ODIs are 5/24; and in T20 internationals are 5/21. Well done Timm!
65 ALF JAMES - 50 YEARS
ALF JAMES OAM 50 YEARS CONSECUTIVE SEASONS PLAYING IN THE HK&HDCA SENIOR COMPETITIONS
From the very beginning our Association has always been strong and widely well respected. Without a doubt this has been because of the considerable efforts and dedication from many volunteers but this is especially true of a select number of special individuals. Because of these gentlemen’s’ contributions the HK&HDCA has extremely strong bones which allows those that follow the very solid foundation to continue to build on. Alf James is one of those special individuals.
After coming through the Association’s junior ranks Alf started playing senior cricket in the HK&HDCA in the 1964/65 season and has played consecutively since. This means in 2013/14 he chalked up an incredible 50 consec- utive seasons. Incredibly he rarely missed a match in that time and so totals approximately 750 games played across every grade.
I’ve played both against and with Alf in our senior competitions and both experiences were an absolute pleasure.
The HK&HDCA’s C3 senior competition trophy is named the Alf James Cup in his honour. I was fortunate to actu- ally win this trophy with Alf himself in 2008/09. Imagine winning the trophy that is named after yourself. Alf has obviously done so much for this Association both on the field and off it. He has played for numerous clubs (twelve I think, and counting) and won many Premierships.
He was also President of the Association for a record 22 seasons from 1980 to 2002. He has served on many many important sub-committees for our Association. In fact he is still currently serving this season just finished, being part of our Senior Competition Committee. He is also the current HK&HDCA Historian meaning he validates all possi- ble records broken and is the keeper of those records.
Speaking of records, Alf has scored over 10,000 runs and taken over 1,000 wickets across our senior competitions which is a mind boggling double achievement.
Alf has also authored many books, mostly about history and or cricket, including the history of our Association, titled SUMMER SATURDAYS, and the history of The NSW District Cricket Association (DCA).
Alf James has been awarded the highest honour for both these Associations, receiving Life Membership of the HK&HDCA in 1982 and he was made a Life Member of the NSW DCA in 2004.
I have personally learnt so much from Alf during my five seasons playing with Alf and my three seasons as President of this Association. He has always been there for me to bounce off an idea or share a problem. Many of these prob- lems he almost certainly had faced himself at some stage as an long term Association President and therefore almost always has a likely solution ready to share.
We are indeed wonderfully fortunate to have an individual such as Alf James, with so much experience, still so ac- tive in our Association both on and off the field. His long term “behind the scenes” service to this Association and many of our clubs has a lot to do with the reason why the HK&HDCA is so strong today, and why our cricketers have the opportunity to just worry about playing cricket and not concern themselves so much with off field issues.
I congratulate Alf James on completing 50 consecutive seasons playing in our senior competitions. This is an incred- ible achievement which I hope has not come to an end just yet.

67 50th LIFE MEMBER OF HK&HDCA INDUCTED IN 2013
HK&HDCA held its Annual General Meeting on 23 July 2013 and one of the highlights was the induction of Bruce Geoffrey Wood (pictured below) as the Association’s 50th Life Member.
Bruce Wood has provided exceptional and exemplary service to cricket in this area for a lengthy period. He served with distinction in a variety of positions for the Normanhurst-Warrawee CC, where he was made a Life Member in 2007. Significantly, Bruce is the first HK&HDCA Life Member from Normanhurst-Warrawee CC (formerly Normanhurst CC), a foundation club in the Association dating back to 1926-27.
At Association level, Bruce served as a delegate from the Normanhurst- Warrawee CC and has been on the Association’s Executive Committee for six years. He has worked to initiate and maintain sponsorship from the Kooindah Waters Golf Resort and assisted the Association’s operations in many other ways.\
His work in coaching has been exemplary. He has coached eight separate representative teams, taken teams on tours to a number of places, including overseas (India and NZ) and assisted several Representative Secretaries in their tasks.
His initiative in forming the Hornsby Ku-ring-gai and Hills District Cricket Coaches’ Association (HKHDCCA) in 2010 has contributed strongly to coaching in our district. He has served as President of this Association and has been directly responsible for organising significant coaching clinics.
Since 2010-11, Bruce has organised the showcase Ross Turner Cup and Glenn Hourigan Cup annual fixtures. As a delegate from the Coaches’ Association, he has been a member of the Northern Metropolitan Cricket Council.
Bruce has umpired at the top level within the Association for the past decade and has served as Assistant Secretary, Secretary and Vice- Bruce Wood President of the Umpires’ Association. He has umpired many representative finals on the appointment of the NSWDCA. He has been the website administrator for both the representative cricket program and the umpires’ association.
In assessing Bruce’s contribution, our committee considered in detail his many contributions and noted that he had been involved with cricket at Barker College where he was inducted as a Life Member in 2010 and also has assisted with selections of the Northern District A. W. Green Shield team. Many young players have reason to be grateful for Bruce’s contribution and our committee considers him to be a thoroughly worthy recipient of the honour of life membership.
