Box 5056, Frankston South, 3199 Phone (club rooms): 97814851 www.heatherhill.vic.cricket.com.au [email protected] or [email protected] ABN 29962158402 Presidents Report, Captains Reports, Awards, Aggregates and Averages Presentation Night Season 2016/2017 Presidents Report 2016/2017 Well that was another big year for Heatherhill with a hell of a lot happening … so where do I start? Firstly a massive congratulations to David Martin and his victorious 2nds team on winning “Back To Back” District 2nds Premierships. It was a weird season for the 2nds who only lost 2 games in the Home and Away games however finished the year in 3rd position. Having a gutsy win in the Semi Final set them up for a big Grand Final and the Premiership was already in the bag just after tea on the 1st day! Congratulations guys and let’s hope a few of you step up into the 1sts next season and help them have a big year. Well done also to Dougie and Dermott who as first year Captains steered our 3rds and 4ths into Grand Finals. Unfortunately we came up short in both games however, the Club is rapt that a winning culture is now instilled amongst our grades and a hunger to do one better next year I’m sure will spur the boys onto a successful year in 2017-18. With Nathan going down in the pre-season and unable to play this season Kristian Miller put his hand up to take on the Captaincy of the 1sts and in a tough year he did his very best to help get the boys into the finals however, we finished like last year one win outside of the four. Thanks for all your efforts Grizz and good luck in your Summer of Cricket in England. Andrew Brown put his hand up to Captain the 5ths this year which contained a lot of Highs and Lows throughout the season. Inconsistency was the issue and while there were some fantastic wins there were also some heavy losses. A bit more strength with the bat will help improve them next year and we thank Browny for his efforts this year as skipper. With many of the Junior Parents talking about the possibilities of playing a game of cricket with their boys, we as a Club decided that we should really look into having another Senior team which contained predominantly Father and Son combinations. After a meeting with interested parents and members of the Committee discussing the way it would have to work and the possible problems that could arise throughout the year, it was agreed that we would field a 6th team. I approached Reggie Crew and Bob Skelly to take ownership of this team and these guys were absolutely sensational in making sure that there were 11 players each week in the team and that everyone involved had an enjoyable game. With great momentum towards the end of the season the guys were able to secure 4th spot on the ladder and played Langwarrin who themselves have an established Father-Sons team which has been in operation for a few seasons. Our guys took it right up to Langy and unfortunately not enough runs on the board cost us in the end. Well done to all involved in this team and we are sure to keep it going next season! To Club Coach Jason Wylie, I thank you for your efforts in your 1st year as a Senior Coach. We knew at the start of the season that Jase would have a slightly interrupted season with his Wedding and Honeymoon however, a burst appendix the week before Round One wasn’t in the plan! When going to print we are unsure whether Jase will be able to take on the role next year due to a possible re- location with his wife so if it is goodbye we wish you all the best and thank you for all of your efforts this year. Also a job well done to Mark “Rocky” Rothwell who again put in another terrific year as Chairman of Selectors. Four teams out of six playing finals is a pretty good result although it’s not good enough for Rocky unless we win everything! Maybe next year is the year we can have that perfect year mate! Presidents Report, Captains Reports, Awards, Aggregates and Averages Presentation Night Season 2016/2017 Our Junior Club took a bit of a hit this year with us unable to field an Under 12 team which was disappointing. Hopefully some of these boys will come back and play in our Under 14’s next year and we can continue to have a team in each age group. Our Under 16’s also had issues with numbers before the season started and it was decided we would merge our team with Ballam Park. In the end it was great for all of these kids to get a game of cricket every weekend. With numbers improving in Milo Cricket and the Under 10’s this year, the Juniors will have another strong crop coming through in the next few years. Well done to our Under 14’s who made the Finals and just went down to a strong POB outfit in the Semi. A great year by these boys and there are a few very handy cricketers amongst this team who will be Heatherhill Stars in the future! This year was also the inaugural season of the Under 18 Twenty/20 Comp (The Norm Jardine Shield) in which our boys (including some of our past juniors who are playing in higher competitions) got through to the Final against Mornington. We had a good crack but were eventually Runners Up. A great effort guys! A Special thanks must go to all of the Junior Coaches, Team Managers, Scorers, Umpires and Parents for helping get our kids on the park every week and massive thanks goes to Craig Quelch for working very hard making sure that all the junior teams are functioning well and continuing to improve. Also thanks a lot to our Junior Committee who continue to make sure that the Juniors are well looked after and that their fundraising will continue to help make sure that our kids have the best facilities to utilize and help keep our Subs at a low cost. Off the field we FINALLY got our Scoreboard and Gear Shed completed! Norm Jardine was instrumental in organising all parties to make sure that all went to plan and that we would have a state of the art Digital Scoreboard that is most impressive with a huge amount of features. Great stuff Stormin! Every Thursday night without fail from around 7pm we start getting that waft of Snags and Burgers cooking on the BBQ coming across Bruce Park and as we look up at the rooms there are two magnificent Club People who donate their time to come down and feed us and have a good chat. What makes this all remarkable is that their own boys are training elsewhere at a Premier Club and they would be well within their rights to be cooking the BBQ out at Casey Fields. Mandy and Adrian you are both “true Heatherhill people” and we all thank you for the amount of effort and time you both put in to keep us happy on a Thursday night. Our Social Functions this year were a bit hit and miss with some being supported brilliantly however some were a bit light on for numbers. A new function we tried this year was “Day at the Dogs” where about 25 of us got a bus to Sandown on a Sunday and enjoyed a very pleasant afternoon watching the dish lickers and trying to win a few dollars for the club. Make sure you pencil that one in for next year if you didn’t go to the last one! Also we held a $5000 Draw on the last night of the season which was most successful for both the club and to all those attended I’m sure they all agree it was a terrific night and organised well by Zach “#bigfella” Horsley. Good job mate! Next Season we will be holding a massive Past Players function to celebrate the Reunions of our 1sts Premierships of 10 and 30 years ago. We will also be announcing our Team of the Decade from 2007- Presidents Report, Captains Reports, Awards, Aggregates and Averages Presentation Night Season 2016/2017 2017. It will be one of the biggest nights the Club has seen in a long time so keep an eye out for more details when we announce specifics next season. All in all Heatherhill as a Club has continued to improve with better on field results this year and off field we are in an even stronger position than this time last year. To get us to where we are today involves a lot of people helping to organise everything from keeping the rooms clean, to manning the bar, working at Bunnings Sausage Sizzles, attending MPCA meetings, attending Council meetings, organizing functions, organizing club apparel, banking the money, sorting out correspondence, replying to emails, ordering drinks and food and attending 12 Committee meetings throughout the year.

  • Toyota Australian Country Cricket Championships in Shepparton, Victoria
    2018/19 TOYOTA CRICKET AUSTRALIA AUSTRALIAN cricketaustralia COUNTRY CRICKET @CAPathway CHAMPIONSHIPS SHEPPARTON, VIC 3 - 11 JAN 2019 WELCOME CRICKET AUSTRALIA IS PROUD TO SUPPORT THE 2019 TOYOTA AUSTRALIAN COUNTRY CRICKET CHAMPIONSHIPS IN SHEPPARTON, VICTORIA. Australia’s regions have a rich history of producing some of our nation’s best cricketers and for over 30 years, country cricketers have been able to showcase their talents at these championships. Cricket plays a key role in so many regional and rural communities. Representing your community is always a tremendous honour, but to do so alongside other cricketers identified as the best country players in the nation is particularly special. That’s why these championships are so significant; they not only provide a breeding ground for Australian cricket’s next generation of stars but also demonstrate the vital role cricket plays in community development in our regions. In 2019, the Toyota Australian Country Cricket Championships are being held in the heart of Victoria’s foodbowl – the City of Greater Shepparton. Five men’s teams and seven women’s teams will gather from across Australia and the East Asia-Pacific region to contest the title of Australian country champions. We look back to the 2018 championships where we saw outstanding performances from the Men’s New South Wales and Women’s South Australian teams who took out the titles. Joe Price (NSW) scored 277 runs and took 17 wickets as men’s player of the tournament and South Australia’s Brittany Perry led her side with 280 runs in a dominant display as player of the tournament in the women’s competition.

  • THE HOLY GRAIL by Marcus Hook
    www.ovalworld-online.com/itsasurreything.htm VOLUME.28 ISSUE NUMBER.3 START OF THE SEASON 2015 EDITED BY MARCUS HOOK PLEASE NOTE THAT THE VIEWS EXPRESSED IN THIS NEWSLETTER ARE PURELY PERSONAL OPINIONS. ANY CORRESPONDENCE REGARDING 'OVAL WORLD' SHOULD BE ADDRESSED TO MARCUS HOOK AT FLAT 1, 67 BIRDHURST RISE, SOUTH CROYDON, SURREY, CR2 7EJ or E-MAIL [email protected] FIRST INNINGS - THE HOLY GRAIL by Marcus Hook Surrey may only be two matches into the new season, however it's already clear that climbing out of Division Two of the County Championship will be far from easy. The alliance of the number one batsman in the world, a resurgent Steven Davies and the new found consistency of Rory Burns, sees Surrey's batting in fine fettle. But whereas batsmen (especially those capable of saving a match) are worth their weight in gold in Division One, the best guarantee of promotion in Division Two is bowling sides out twice. Surrey have taken twenty wickets in just ten of their last 47 championship matches. The Essex game underlined that without an overseas fast bowler, experienced England qualified bowlers or both, the holy grail of 20 wickets will be hard to come by; and even harder on surfaces such as the one Glamorgan served up for Surrey's championship curtain-raiser. Given that you need to win a fair proportion of your matches to finish in the top two of the second division, playing on spicy 'result' pitches is a definite advantage. It's a difficult one because if Surrey see themselves challenging for the championship title in a few years time, taking cheap wickets on helpful surfaces will not prepare the likes of Tom Curran and Matt Dunn for bowling to the best batsmen in the country.
