YOULDEN CRICKETER’S ALMANAC 2016-17 A STATISTICAL REVIEW OF YOULDEN PARKVILLE C.C. FOR THE SEASON 2016-17 FOREWORD After the success of 2015-16 where the 4th X1 won the premiership, the 1st and 2nd X1’s were beaten grand finalists and the 3rd X1 made the semi final, expectations for the 2016-17 season were high. Unfortunately the Club could not repeat that level of success with the only two sides making the finals this season. The David Pizzey 5th X1 bowed out in the preliminary final to eventual premiers Burnley CYMS and the Nicholas Demelis led 2nd X1 unfortunately lost their third straight grand final, this year against Parkville Districts. The 3rd and 4th X1’s both played in the grade above where they played last season and the 5th X1 moved into D Saturday, which meant that YPCC was the only club to field a side in all 5 levels of Saturday cricket in the MCA! The Powerful Owls program continued to build on their success from the previous year to again feature in the finals. The Club once again fielded 10 junior teams for the season. All of the teams that played for points played in the finals, unfortunately none of them won a grand final, which is the first time in 5 seasons that the juniors have not won a flag. The breeding ground for the junior teams, the In2Cricket program for 5 to 8 year olds, moved back to Saturday mornings, with a second session being run on Sunday mornings helping to dramatically increase the numbers doing the program. Overall there were more than 160 (up from about 130 last year) juniors involved in the Powerful Owls program, which is a great sign for the future of the Club. The interaction between the Junior and Senior sections of the Club continues to get better and suggests a great future lies ahead! There were 94 senior players who strutted their stuff for YPs (down from 106 from last season) and all of them are featured in this almanac. We had 25 players who made their YPCC debuts this season, including another 4 more from the junior program (Nicholas and William Madden, Jack Murphy and Samuel Rusjan), making it 24 in the last four seasons. We also had 4 visitors from overseas (Richie Woodburn, Warick Falconer, Vishal Khetia, and Freddie Perkins) who all contributed greatly to the Club. Some of the new players moved on immediately, however 19 of them played 4 games or more. Hopefully those remaining in Australia come back and build on this next year. Individual highlights occurred regularly throughout the season. There were five players who tonned (one in each grade) during the course of the season. Richie Woodburn started his YP career in style making 102 on debut against Maccabi Ajax in the 1st X1. In the 2nds Tom Watson made an unbeaten 101 to drag the seconds over the line against Royal Park Reds. Before making successive ducks Sam Crimmins made 108 not out against Sacred Heart in the 3rd X1. The 4th X1 just managed to avoid an outright defeat in a one day game against the Reds in the 4th X1 despite Silva knocking up 107. Finally in the 5ths David Pizzey smashed the highest score of the season with an unbeaten 165 against Power House. There were nine five or more wicket hauls with the ball by the bowlers with Warick Falconer’s 7/47 against the Royal Park Reds in the seconds the best figures of the season. Freddy Stringer also had a 7 wicket haul in the seconds when he took 7/57 from 20.3 overs bowled in succession against Parkville Districts. Interestingly Freddy’s figures were not the best for the game with Parkville Districts captain taking 7/29! Finally, in the 2nd X1 David Burley took a hat trick in the final round of the season to finish the innings against the top placed Middle Park to seal the team a finals berth that looked very doubtful before the game. President Paul Sinclair again led the Committee with aplomb. He was well supported by the Committee as we continue to push to sure- up our future both on and off the field. Returned coach Jessie McCartney continued to develop both juniors and senior sections of the Club fantastically well. It is a shame that Jessie will not be coaching or playing with us next season as he wants to spend time with his new family and concentrate on other areas of his coaching career. Jessie, your efforts have been greatly appreciated and you are always welcome at YPCC. There are so many more stories to come out of 2016-17, so read on to refresh your memory. – Barney YOULDEN RISING STAR – William Mott The Justin J. O’Connor Memorial Trophy This is a trophy to uphold youthful exuberance and talent, and at the same time pay our respects to an old friend who was taken from us so young. A member of YPCC’s first ever junior side back in 2010, William Mott has become the first player to graduate from our junior program to win the JOC! William played the entire season in the First X1 where he made 230 runs at 28.75 and took 10 wickets at 20.50. Despite not yet being 18, he was a constant at YP’s social functions. William continues the fine calibre of young player to win this award. Hopefully he can become YPCC’s first home grown Premier ones player if that is the path he chooses, otherwise we hope a long a successful playing career at YPCC is ahead of him. BEST CLUBPERSON – Sophie Newing The Tom Harrington Memorial Trophy After joining the Club committee a couple of seasons back in an assistant secretary capacity, this season Sophie took on the role of Junior Coordinator, arguably the most challenging position in the Club that involves countless hours of work organising teams, liaising with parents, team managers, the association, etc etc. Sophie also played a major role in a number of the social events, in particular the community ball where she drove ticket sales amongst the parents of the juniors and managed to drum up close to $4000 worth of items to auction off on the night. All her efforts are recognised with this award. Well done Sophie, thanks for all your efforts. Well deserved. CLUB CHAMPION – 468 POINTS The George Moloney Jnr. Trophy David Pizzey Proving that you are never too old to have a cracking season of cricket, Fifth X1 skipper David Pizzey has taken out his first Club Champion trophy at the age of 52! During the home and away season David racked up 673 runs, took 2 wickets, 14 catches, affected 4 run outs, and completed 3 stumpings. His efforts during the season went a long way to dragging the Fifth X1 into a Preliminary final. Bowling all rounder Irfan Azam took out 2nd place 50 points back, whilst part time player Ashley Medell rounded out the top three 38 points further back. Congratulations David.

Rackstraw Medal as the Club’s most valuable player as voted by his teammates for the first time! David polled in sixteen of the twenty games he played in where votes were awarded, including the two where he doubled up for the weekend and played in the 3rds or the 4ths to fill a hole in the teams left by a late withdrawal! David won by a 34 votes from Ashley Medell and a further 4 from the up and coming speedster Jasper Paevere. Congratulations Pizz.

    YOULDEN CRICKETER’S ALMANAC 2018-19 A STATISTICAL REVIEW OF YOULDEN PARKVILLE C.C. FOR THE SEASON 2018-19 FOREWORD Season 2018-19 saw very few changes to the leadership team from the previous season with all six captains from last season retaining their positions and David Heddle replacing Neil Grey as an assistant coach being the only change to the coaching setup. Whereas last season we had three teams make the finals this season we disappointingly only had the 2nd X1 make the finals. The upside however was that after 3 losing grand finals in the last 4 seaons for the 2nd X1 they went on to play two very tight finals games and prevailed on Ryder Oval to win the first Senior flag in 3 seasons against Indigos. The Powerful Owls program continued to build on their success from the previous year to again feature in the finals. The Club fielded 14 junior teams for the season, up three on last season, including two girls team. Both of these numbers were records for YP. Nine of the eleven teams that played for points played in the finals, with the 14(3) Friday side coming the closest to a flag being defeated grand finalists. Overall there were approximately 160 (down from about 170 last year) juniors involved in the Powerful Owls program, which is a great sign for the future of the Club. A whopping 101 senior players strutted their stuff for YP (down from 123 from last season) and all of them are featured in this almanac. We had 19 players who made their YPCC debuts this season, including another 5 from the junior program (Dillon Barrett, James Dagiandas, Lachlan Kennedy, Thomas Leury and Akshith Sriram), making it 41 in the last six seasons.

Following the first digital publication last year, we have decided to continue with the new modern design because it was a great success. This year we look to mix the old with the new (similar to many club teams out there!). The 2014 Yearbook has become a digital e-book with turning pages and a book style appearance. I would like to say I am privileged to be the editor of such a prestigious historic yearbook whose archives date back to around the 1970s’. As a University student with a love of cricket, this has been a very exciting project for me. The good news is that the player statistics look a lot healthier than the previous rain affected season! In complete contrast to the 2012/13 season we saw the long awaited return of the large, bright, warm circle in the sky. Gone were the days of turning up to a ground to see sodden grass and puddles on and around the pitch. The weather was brilliant and everyone was confident and excited to complete a full season of competitive cricket. Now I’m going to leave you to enjoy reliving the cricketing year of 2013 in Dorset.

    Kent County Cricketers a to Z

    Kent County Cricketers A to Z Part Two 1919-1939 By Derek Carlaw Statistics by John Winnifrith This collection of biographies have been written, on behalf of the ACS, by Derek Carlaw. For those readers wishing to obtain more detailed statistical information, it is recommended that a search is undertaken on the relevant pages of the CricketArchive website ( http://cricketarchive.com/ ). Kent County Cricketers A to Z Part Two 1919 to 1939 Introduction Part Two of the Kent A to Z covers the 92 cricketers who made their entry into first-class cricket for Kent between the wars. With 12 Championship titles, 330 wins and only 49 defeats, Yorkshire dominated throughout the two decades, but Kent could reasonably claim to be the most successful of the Southern counties, twice ending runners-up and in only three seasons failing to finish in the top half of the table. During those inter-war years, cricket was becoming increasingly professional. Of the names listed in the county averages in the 1921 Wisden, over 57% were amateurs. By 1931 the figure had fallen to 41%; and in the last pre-war season it was down to 33%. Kent, in common with one or two other counties, fought hard against the prevailing trend. Throughout the period, they stuck to their long- established policy of endeavouring to field a minimum of three amateurs in every match. In practice, they were quite frequently unable to do so, especially early in the season but, of the 92 cricketers listed in the following pages, 60, i.e. over 65%, were, in the idiom of the time, ‘Gentlemen’.

  • The Peterite

    The Peterite

    THE PETERITE Vol. LXXI OCTOBER, 198o No. 397 Editorial Committee: Alistair Carder-Geddes, Christopher Ashurst, Michael Bowstead, Anthony Dixon, Ian Cramb, Andrew Fawthrop, Timothy Blackburn, Andrew Cochrane, Neil Harness and David Aspinall. Photographs: Lawrence Bleasdale. Edited by R. C. G. Drysdale, M.A. PREFACE The Peterite caters for several different markets. Many readers rightly want a record of what has been going on in the School during the previous academic year. Parents and prospective parents want to gain an idea of the multitude of activities available. Some want to see evidence of the consider- able artistic and literary talent in the School. Others expect a measure of entertainment. The Old Peterites, too, have a strong claim on the magazine as it was originally published with them in mind. These claims are not, of course, necessarily mutually exclusive. It is, however, difficult to satisfy all these competing interests equally and the end result is, inevitably, a compromise. This year's magazine sets out to publish a greater number of original contributions and while the response to the Poetry competition was encour- aging, the committee was disappointed by the comparative lack of interest in the Short Story and Photographic competitions. This edition of The Peterite is thus not exactly what the Editorial Committee wanted, but it is a step in that direction. It is hoped that next year's issue will contain more contribu- tions from the wealth of talent in the School. The Editor wishes to thank the many contributors to The Peterite and would welcome articles of general interest from Peterites past and present.

As President I welcome you to read this report. The 2010/11 season was my third as President of the association. Firstly, I would like to take this opportunity to thank the countless numbers of volunteers throughout the clubs who give their own time free of charge to ensure that a game of cricket is made available to every boy and girl who wishes to play the game each season. They are the people who organise registration days, the face you meet at registration days, the people who organise teams, the coaches and managers that take on the task of preparing and organising teams ready for the Saturday morning game. Without your time, the game would not happen. Little is said of your efforts, so I take this opportunity to publicly thank you.
