ARTICLE 25 MARCH 29TH. 2013 South Barwon was the “sentimental favourite” last weekend to win its first GCA Division One premiership for 36 years but East-Belmont swept all aside to win its 7th. flag,6/278 to 195 all seven premierships gathered since South Barwon won its last flag in 1975-76. East has a “strike rate” of a premiership every 6.7 seasons since it joined the competition in 1966-67 whilst South’s strike rate with its 5 flags is a premiership every 10.8 seasons, its five flags achieved during its 15 seasons “golden era” between 1961-62 to 1976-77. It was East-Belmont’s 10th straight consecutive win this season and South’s first loss in its last 9 games. XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX South Barwon’s loss would have been particularly disappointing for champion batsman, Clinton Peake whose record 8855 runs @ 42.2 at Geelong Cricket Club over 17 seasons failed to deliver a 1st.X1 premiership, his 869 runs @ a commanding 96.6 this season a South Barwon record and the fourth highest in GCA history behind Jack Sing (944 runs @ 118.0 for Geelong West in 1948-49), Len Metherell (928 runs @ 77.3 for Geelong Footballers in 1935-36) and Michael Bowtell (882 runs @ 73.5 for Newtown & Chilwell in 1979-80). XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX Andrew Baars , a member of East-Belmont’s last premiership in 2005-06 proved he was a “big occasion player” in that finals series with 55 in that qualifying final, 73 in the semi and the brilliant double of 84 &6/49 in that grand final and did so again in this years grand final with the mixed fortunes of being dismissed for 99. It was the GCA’s 36th. score off 99 since Harold Nettle was the first in 1903-04 for Corio (Pre WW1) against Geelong A, but Baars’ 99 was the first scored in a grand final. XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX South Barwon won the prestigious Club Championship, 93 points to second placed East-Belmont (82 points) which is a reflection on the quality of a club’s players over its 1st.X1, 2nd.X1, 3rd.X1 and 4th.X1 over the home-and-away season. However South endured further anguish after its 1st.X1, 2nd.X1 & 3rd.X1 finished on top of the ladder and its 4th.X1 finished third yet a premiership failed to be realised across all four sides, East-Belmont premiers in not just the 1st.X1 but also in its 4th.X1. South Barwon last won the Club Championship in its 1st.X1 premiership season of 1975- 76 and now has four to date, East-Belmont heading the Club Championship wins over the years since it was introduced in 1967-68 with eleven wins. XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX This column has selected an unofficial “GCA Team of the Season”. Based on a minimum of 300 runs and 25 wickets during the home-and-away season, the team below is in batting order and is captained by Jack Sing Medalist and Champion Player of the 2012-13 season, Gareth Yelland. With most dismissals for the season (24), the wicketkeeper is Michael Kelson.

To finish the season on a “light note”, a man was walking down Verner Street in East Geelong and he noticed a sign in a front garden saying “talking dog for sale”. The man was startled so he knocked on the owners front door and said “do you really have a talking dog for sale?”. Yes was the answer, “come and see him”. The man walked in and the Labrador said “G’day mate, how ye goin”. The man was completely shocked and said “how long have you been talking?’. The dog replied “all my life and I’ve had a great life touring the world with the Australian cricket team. My job was to wander into the opposition teams team meetings and report what I heard back to Ricky Ponting”. The man was completely bewildered at what he had witnessed and said to the owner “how much do you want for the dog?” - $10 was the answer. “Only $10 – why said the man do you only want $10”. The owner replied, “because the dog is a bloody liar – he has never been outside the backyard” !!! O’DOWD DECLARES ARTICLE 24 MARCH 22ND. 2013 Interesting on looking back on previous grand finals… 100 YEARS AGO SEASON 1912-13 That season commenced just 6 months after the Titantic was doomed to the waters of the Atlantic ocean , however no finals matches were played as only four teams played in the GCA, being East-Geelong, West Geelong, Geelong A & Geelong B. In that season, the GCA played the Ballarat Cricket Association on Christmas Day at Corio Oval, the Ballarat CA returning the honour with a match on Good Friday. In that season, Geelong Footballer, Bill Eason cut a swathe through opposition sides with 3 consecutive match- figures games of 15/84, 13/89 & 9/37. In round three, Allan Cordener, a cousin of the famous Melbourne Football Club Cordener brothers played his debut match for Geelong A, his six game GCA career tragically cut short after being killed during the Battle of Lone Pine at Gallipoli in 1914. With only four sides, the GCA policy of the day was there would be no finals matches resulting in East-Geelong winning the premiership with most wins for the season. XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX 50 YEARS AG0 1962-63 Sixteen year old Paul Sheahan played his one and only ever GCA 1st.X1 match in round 6, the promising teenager compiling according to the Geelong Addy scribe of the day, “an impressive 22 and 40 not out” on debut for GWC&FC against Corio. Geelong footballer and later to be Victorian Minister for Sport, Neil Trezise recorded his maiden and only to be century with 117no for GWC&FC against Newtown & Chilwell whilst West Indian speedster, Wesley Hall visited Geelong to demonstrate the art of fast bowling adding, “you must be a good man before you become a good cricketer”. GWC&FC played North Geelong in the grand final ,GWC&FC the victors over North Geelong (known in those days as Corio.), Nipper Tresize top scoring for GWC&FC with 92, Ron Beaumont his opening bat partner a gallant 69, GWC&FC all out for 251 (Jack Sing caught Gordon McKay bowled Murray Allen…1 ). North responded with a gripping close total of 238, Peter Osborne leading the charge with 64. XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX 25 YEARS AGO -1987-88 Terry Bright, the only GCA 1st.X1 cricketer to play 200 games for Geelong Football Club & 200 GCA 1st.X1 games lost his wicket during the season on 99 – to be the first player ever to be dismissed on 99 in a career 3 times. Jason Bakker celebrated his maiden century and Greg Wells achieved his 500th. wicket. Newtown & Chilwell won the flag after a sensational tie in the semi final against Leopold, Newtown awarded the semi final match due to its higher position on the ladder. Newtown played North Geelong and won with scores of 7/202 to 201. Geelong Football to-be Recruiting Manager, Steven Wells blasted 28 to launch Newtown to victory (Steven the record holder with 237 against East-Belmont the previous season), Michael Bowtell contributing an elegant 57 in a low scoring match, Glen Ward run out for 54 for North. XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX DID YOU KNOW ? In season 1939-40, the GCA 1st.X1 competition was increased from eight teams to ten teams the GCA committee decided in view of the enlarged size of the competition to allow the first four teams on the premiership ladder at the completion of the home-and-away to compete in “A grade” finals, whilst the next four teams on the premiership ladder would play fo the “B grade” premiership. Consequently, for season 1939-40 only, two teams from the same competition were premiers, Ford Motor Company in “A grade” and Geelong Footballers in “B grade). ARTICLE 23 MARCH 15TH. 2013 East-Belmont marches further into its finals campaign this weekend with 8 wins in a row after overcoming a gallant North Geelong , 9/264 to 232 last weekend, East’s strong batting side curiously boasting just one centurian for the season when skipper Chris Bambury recorded 115no in round 6 against again curiously North For North Geelong , many positives for the famous club this season, 16 year old Adam Costello making 44 on debut in round 9 against Grovedale, leg-spinner, Jack Hughes collecting figures of 5/18, 3/26, 3/55 ,4/72 and 3/43. Leopold like North Geelong also crashed out of the finals in a dramatic match against Premiers favourite, South Barwon, being 1/90 overnight chasing a seemingly easy target of 146 but fell in a hole to be all out for 143. With star bat Rod Kiddle given out lbw for 3, and gun bat Ben O’Brien out for 20 after consecutive centuries, Leopold struggled, Marcus Stow gallant with 62 late in the innings, being his career best in 131 games and only the second time he had passed 50 in an innings.

    2 SEPTEMBER 2013 3 At time of writing, the footy season was approaching its climax as the finals began. On the ladder, the Geelong Cats had closed back to second behind the Hawks. Familiar territory for such a successful club – no change there. Written by John Boley ut for Geelong itself, change is very much in the air. Forever – and perhaps unfairly – associated solely Bwith the Ford auto plant there, the city, the surround- ing area and the local authorities are preparing for the jolt that Ford’s departure will bring and planning a variety of means to improve the lives of the local people. There is a considerable body of opinion to suggest that the ending of such a tight relationship between the city and the carmaker could be a springboard for Geelong to better things rather than a disaster and the City Council is certainly working hard in that direction. It owns and operates the stadium that is home to the Cats, and a major push is underway to extend the reach of this valuable facility and enhance its value to the community. In 1877, Geelong joined the Victorian Association as a Foun- dation Member. The team was known as ‘The Seagulls’ for years, then ‘The Pivotonians’ because Geelong was the pivot point for all railway and shipping for Ballarat and western district merchandise. Years of domination followed as from 1878 Geelong won seven VFA premierships in nine years. Corio Oval was the headquarters until 1940 when the ground was taken over for military training – so they moved again, this time to Kardinia Park in Moorabool Street.

    Ian Salisbury (England 1992 to 2001) Ian Salisbury Was a Prolific Wicket

    Ian Salisbury (England 1992 to 2001) Ian Salisbury was a prolific wicket-taker in county cricket but struggled in his day job in Tests, taking only 20 wickets at large expense. Wisden claimed the leg-spinner’s googly could be picked because of a higher arm action, which negated the threat he posed. Keith Medlycott, his Surrey coach, felt Salisbury was under-bowled and had his confidence diminished by frequent criticism from people who had little understanding of a leggie’s travails. Yet Ian was a willing performer and an excellent tourist. Salisbury’s Test career was a stop-start affair. Over more than eight years, he played in only 15 Tests. Despite these disappointments Salisbury’s determination was never in doubt. Several times as well, he showed more backbone than his supposedly superior English spin colleagues; most notably in India in early 1993. Ian Salisbury also proved to be an excellent nightwatchman, invariably making useful contributions. His Test innings as nightwatchman are shown below.

Pakistan claimed the honours in the dress rehearsal for the final with a memo- rable victory over the world champions in a dramatic day/night encounter at Trent Bridge on Tuesday. The game lived up to its billing right from the onset as Saeed Anwar and Saleem Elahi tore into the Australia attack. Elahi was in particularly impressive form, blast- ing 79 from 91 balls as Pakistan plundered 290 from their 50 overs. But, never wanting to be outdone, the Australians responded in fine style with Adam Gilchrist attacking the Pakistan bowling with equal relish. The wicketkeep- er sensationally raced to his 20th one-day international half-century in just 29 balls on his way to a quick-fire 70. Once Saqlain Mushtaq had ended his 44-ball knock however, skipper Waqar Younis stepped up to take the game by the scruff of the neck. The pace star is bowling as well as he has done in years as his side come to the end of their tour of England and his figures of six for 59 fully deserved the man of the match award and to take his side to victory.

NEW HON. SECRETARY The Society is pleased to announce that John Hooper has kindly volunteered to act as its Hon. Secretary, with immediate effect. The Society is deeply indebted to John, who is already tackling his role with relish. MEETINGS Wednesday 27 March 2019 – Meeting The Society extends the warmest of welcomes to this evening’s speaker, Chris Lewis. Whether batting, bowling or fielding, he performed with flair which appealed to onlookers. He was one of the finest all-rounders of his generation. It has often been said that he never quite fulfilled his potential, but his achievements were substantial and would have been envied by lesser mortals. He played in 32 tests and 53 ODIs. He was selected for seven successive England tours between 1989/90 to 1994/95, travelling twice to the West Indies and Australia, as well as to New Zealand, India and Sri Lanka.
