Some highlights for the season include: - • Seven out of seven senior teams making the semi finals and four making the finals (A2, B2, B3 & C1). • Competed in four junior finals (10A, 14A, 16A & 16C). • Running a close 2nd in the Junior Club Championship • Expansion of our Clubhouse facility that now includes a meeting area • Fielding three U8’s and three U10’s teams • Sponsorship of our teams continues to grow Congratulations to our 10A, 14A, 16A & C1 teams for being crowned premiers for 2006-07 with commiserations to the 16C, A2, B2 & B3 for having a great year only to be pipped at the post. Our under 8’s & under 10’s, who are our future of this mighty club, impressed both spectators and officials with the way they improved their cricket throughout the year. To our other teams your achievements did not go unnoticed and are acknowledged in your end of year reports. Well done. As this year was the first for both the President and the Secretary, I would like to acknowledge the support and friendship shown to us by our fellow committee members. Your support and guidance has allowed us to steer our club in the right direction, which might I say is the envy of a lot of the other cricket clubs in the shire. The year would not be complete without acknowledging our army of volunteers. To our Coaches, Managers and Scorers we say a big thank you for your tireless efforts throughout the year. Our committee members have taken on their individual roles magnificently and combined to ensure our players have had the opportunity to shine on the field. Thank you to the parents and supporters who were well represented at out fundraising activities for the year. Ken Newman hosted our annual Trivia Night held at Engadine RSL and from all reports everyone took something away with them on the night. Bob Price was the catalyst behind our fundraising raffle and it was nice to see the winning ticket being sold by our top seller Bill Knowles. Our sponsors provide valuable assistance in maintaining the services that we provide at a reasonable cost. So when you are next looking for that special item or service, be sure to look up our sponsor and tell them you are from the Dragons Cricket Club. Dennis Pendergast completed a rare coaching feat this year. He started with a bunch of boys in the under 10a’s way back in 2000 and every second year won an “A Grade” premiership culminating in the ultimate prize of the 16A title this year. What a feat!! Russ Waddell continues to support our club even years after retiring from our committee. Each year he hosts both our awards nights and does a sterling job for which we are indebted to you. Bob Price each fortnight plays editor for our newsletter and on top of this found time to organise our end of year celebrations after the finals. Thank you Bob. Peter Ward our Assistant Secretary Juniors has completed eight years in this role and his dedication is very commendable. This year he assisted Craig Rice in ensuring our club moved from a paper based results system to a web based online reporting system with the junior association acknowledging their efforts. A day does not go by in the Summer without seeing our stalwart Harry Robbins coaching and providing that elusive tip to a young gun in the nets. Your efforts provide the foundations for the success of this club and we all say a big thank you. The success of our club is not just about winning premierships. I like to monitor the return of players backing up for another season, and the pathway of our juniors to senior cricket as a part barometer of our success. We will continue to work on both of these in years to come. For the players that are leaving us to further your cricketing careers with our grade partners, we wish you every success for the future. It is hoped that you enjoy your off season, and look forward to catching up with everyone in 2007/8. Steve Jones 5 SECRETARY’S REPORT This is my first year as Secretary of the Engadine Dragons. It has been a steep learning curve to be across all the aspects of this dynamic club. I would like to thank and recognize the great support received from my fellow committee members, coaches and managers throughout the year. As outlined by our President, the 2006/07 year has been very successful on the field and I would like to congratulate all players for the way they have conducted themselves and represented their club and association throughout the year. We ended up coming a very close second in the Junior Club Championship and to have all senior teams participate in the final series was an outstanding achievement, which shows the depth we have throughout the club. It was great to see the junior player numbers increase to 153 this season and we look forward to continued growth in the years to come. With the improved numbers in our U8s and U10s the future of the club is assured. Thanks to all the volunteers throughout the year. Your assistance is invaluable in the running of any club and I know the players really appreciate the efforts that you put in. Off the field has also been very important to the future of the club: • The ongoing support of our sponsors and advertisers is highly valued as it enables us to keep the playing costs down and provide improved facilities for all players • Your support of our annual raffle and trivia night has again been very positive • The extension to our club rooms in the ANZAC Oval complex provides us with some of the best cricket facilities in the Shire. We acknowledge the financial grant provided by the NSW Sport and Recreation Department to assist with this project • We have been successful in receiving $3000 from the Volunteer Small Equipment Grant from the Federal Government, which will assist with some new purchases for next season • The end of finals functions for Senior and Junior Teams were well supported and showed a lot of the Dragon’s club spirit • Plans are in place to upgrade and extend the outdoor nets at ANZAC oval for the next season I look forward to your return for the 2007/08 season.
