2 PRESIDENTS REPORT PETER HEWITT
The success of the previous 3 seasons had come at a cost, particularly due to the expense of importing John Wright the previous season and attracting quality players such as Peter Spencer. The club finances were in precarious shape at the start of this season and the new committee took steps to return the club to a stable footing during the season.
Overall, the season was modest on the field, with no team featuring in the finals, but was an excellent and important season financially.

5 1ST XI CAPTAINS REPORT PETER SPENCER Played: 11 Won: 4 Lost: 5 Tie: 1 Draw: 1 Position Finished: Mid table DID NOT PLAY FINALS
The 1st XI (1st Grade) captained by Peter Spencer had a disappointing season, the team winning 4 games and tieing one other (as well as a washout) to finish mid-table.
We generally struggled against the top ranked teams and the loss of Phil Holman, who had moved to WACA club Fremantle, certainly dented the team's strength.
The batting struggled all season, only Peter Spencer with 257 runs passed 200 runs. Tim Downey was next best with 197 runs.
The bowling attack was carried by Rob Pulley with 32 wickets. Alex Weir wasn't far behind, taking 24 wickets.
The team's ability to mix it with the best was shown against eventual premiers Nollamara once again, tying the last game of the season.

The 2nd XI (4th Grade) captained by Val Steenholdt had a competitive season, winning 4 out of 11 games to finish mid-table.
Only one player passed 200 runs for the season, Paul Brooks scoring 283 runs, highlighted by an innings of 103 against WACAE. Val Steenholdt was next best with 198.
The wickets were shared amongst a number of players and no player passed 20 wickets. Brett McGregor led the way with 18 wickets.
The match against Curtin University at Shirley Strickland Reserve was notable for an amazing innings by an opposition first grader playing down the grades. Taking advantage of shortened boundaries, Rob Hearne smashed 237 not out, featuring an incredible 16 sixes!

The 3rd XI (7th Grade) captained by Steve Scott, narrowly missed finals after losing the first 2 games, we then won 7 straight and seemed certain to make the finals. But losses in the last 2 games ultimately cost us a finals place.

The bowling attack was very strong. Pat O'Dwyer led the way with 35 wickets, with Eddie Rigg (23 wickets) and Michael Webb (21 wickets) giving plenty of support.
