It is with great sadness that I ask all present to remember fondly several cricketers who are no longer with us.
The tragic accident which occurred at the SCG in November 2014 and took the enigmatic Phillip Hughes from world cricket has affected so many people not only in Coffs Harbour, or his home town Macksville, but the greater cricket community on the North Coast of NSW.
Peter Symons, player and coach, had given so much to our local sport but passed away in February losing his battle with cancer. Peter left us with a legacy of the many boys that he coached and his love of the game and the spirit in which it should be played.
The voice of cricket, Richie Benaud, left us with the legacy of his commitment to the Nine Network and their superb presentation of cricket in all forms.
My sincere thanks to Justin Gilbert and Matt Rose for the work they perform as Honorary Secretary and Treasurer in addition to the roles that they play to ensure that their clubs continue to be integral members of the Association.
The past season was very demanding not only on a personal health issue but also with the closure of Club Coffs only a matter of weeks after we had installed the trophy cabinets. Hopefully we can find a new long term home for the cabinets as soon as practical.
Coffs Harbour hosted the NSW Country Colts Carnival in November which again proved itself to be a financial aid to our Association. With eight teams and support staff being accommodated at Park Beach and Sawtell Holiday Parks we called upon all clubs to assist with catering and daily ground preparation. My sincere thanks to all volunteers who assisted over the three days whether you cooked breakfast, put out boundary markers, assisted with pitch covers during the inclement weather, or canteen duties as your support was valuable to a successful event.
Coffs Harbour Cricket also appreciates immensely the work done by our own curators at Fitzroy Oval, Brelsford Park and Richardson Park.
Russell Fensom and his crew always provide us with the grounds and wickets in their best possible state each weekend despite the number of other events which take place on these fields. Often maligned by some who are not aware of the political climate within Council, the CHCC Sports Unit provides us with a valuable support service that is continually negotiated, often week by week.
The Regional Skate Park will eventually result in the loss of Brelsford Park. As a further hurdle this year the seating in the grandstand is unavailable due to OH&S risks. With the grandstand to be demolished at a later date CHCC will not spend any funds on its restoration.

I would like to pass on a vote of thanks to the Coffs Harbour Cricket Umpires & Scorers Association for their contribution to our game week in and week out. It can often be a thankless task but also very rewarding when a match is completed without incident.
Congratulations to all our award winners, both individual and team, details of which are in the Year Book which will be available in the near future so I will not elaborate in this report.
Congratulations also to our NSW Country Cup Representative team which lost in a semi-final of the competition. This competition is being revamped for the new season and will be played in a T20 format in future.
Special mention must go to Alec Baldwin and Jamie Bekis both of whom featured in the NSW Country/ACT under 17 team after strong performances. Jamie was the recipient of the Ken Robinson Trophy as the best performed under 16 player in the CHDCA competition and has just returned from a stint with the Darren Lehmann Academy Squad which performed well in England during July. He has also recently received a John McMahon Scholarship from North Coast Zone. Alec was awarded the Ray Kratz Memorial Award for the best performed Colt (under 21) and also received a John McMahon Scholarship from North Coast Zone. Alec has decided to travel to Sydney for the upcoming season and will trial with Western Suburbs following in the footsteps of Phillip Hughes.
I anticipate another busy season in 2015-16 with an agenda full of events both on and off the field. Later this month the NSW under 17 Challenge will be played at Coffs Coast Sport & Leisure Park. The NSW Country Cricket Dinner & AGM are being held at Opal Cove next weekend.
The Association will need the support of every single member to maintain our success in the year ahead.
As stated at the 2014 Annual General Meeting I will not be standing for re-election. I have been at the helm for 13 seasons and it is time for me to spend time with family and travel. I wish the Committee well for the new season.

President Ken Robinson with his Life Membership badge on 12 -5-12
Ken Robinson brought a wealth of Sydney first grade experience with him when he arrived in Coffs Harbour in 1986. He was still playing a good standard of cricket in Sydney when finally Bankstown’s loss became Coffs Harbours gain.
So on he was a delegate to CHDCA, and later different stints as Publicity Officer, Junior Vice President , Recording Secretary then Secretary for a short period prior to becoming President in the 2002-03 Season a position he held until his retirement at the end of the 2014 -15 season.
He has dedicated a lifetime of service to the game in a variety of roles and will continue his involvement in the Umpir es Association and North Coast Cricket.
The CHDCA wish Ken best of wishes for the future.

PRESIDENT’S REPORT: 2014 – 2015
Upon the resignation of Brian KENNEDY, I was elected President for the season 2014 – 2015.
Firstly, on behalf of umpires, scorers, administrators, players, and all members of the cricket community in general, I commend and congratulate Brian on his 30+ years as President of the CHDCU&SA. Brian’s dedication and professionalism have established him as an ambassador for our great sport. I, per sonally, have always valued Brian’s assistance and advice – and very much still enjoy umpiring with him.
Secondly, I feel honoured to be elected by my fellow umpires to succeed Brian as President – only the second President in excess of 30 years! Thank you for providing me with this opportunity and honour. I hope I have vindicated my role and responsibilities for this season.
Thirdly, to my Committee, congratulations on an excellent effort throughout this season – Vice President Graham DOUST, Secretary Matthew CAMPBELL, Treasurer Paul HARRIS - your time, effort, and expertise have been greatly appreciated. To ALL umpires: very well done – without your continued dedication, commitment, enthusiasm and expertise our great game would be much the poorer. I hope to see all of us officiating in 2015 – 2016.
As cricket umpires, we are all committed to assisting, advising, and supporting cricket – in particular, on the North Coast generally, and in the Coffs Harbour District specifically. To achieve such roles we need the guidance and mutual support of the various administrative and governing cricket organisations, a special mention and “thank you” to the Coffs Harbour District Cricket Association, and the Coffs Harbour Junior Cricket Association for this guidance and mutual respect and support.
Without grounds and pitches, the playing of cricket becomes difficult. Well done to groundsmen, curators, players, and often parents for their efforts throughout a rain interrupted season.
Page 1 of 2
Another particularly special mention: to all players, male and female, young, old, and older, to parents and families, to spectators. Without you we do not have cricket administrators, cricket umpires – or, indeed, cricket. Please maintain your enthusiasm and participation.
During the season, I endeavoured to appoint as many umpires to as many grades as possible. As a result, lower grade players were pleasantly surprised to see an official umpire officiating at their match. Umpires have appreciated and enjoyed this rotational approach.
In addition to the local Coffs Harbour Senior and Junior Competitions, our Association continued to provide umpires for both Senior and Junior Representative matches, T/20 Competitions, social “contests”, both Primary and Secondary Schools matches, as well as the Australian Sikh Games – a major cricket (and other sports) tournament held over Easter 2015. A tremendous effort from an organisation with limited manpower!
I wish to acknowledge the sponsorship provided by Club Coffs; this financial support to our Association was much needed – and much appreciated. Further offers of sponsorship would be gratefully accepted.
Umpiring is an occupation which requires regular and on-going professional and educational development and in-service training. One source of this development and training is at our monthly meetings. In addition, members of our Association were fortunate to be invited to attend a formal Umpire’s Training Seminar, facilitated b y Darren GOODGER (CEO, NSWCUSA) in July 2015. As a direct result of this informative and enlightening Seminar, it is with enormous pleasure that I welcome another six fully qualified and accredited umpires into our Association ranks – an excellent outcome for cricket in Coffs Harbour specifically, and for cricket generally. However, we cannot be complacent – we need more umpires, male and female – please consider the opportunity and reward; come and join us.
To the incoming committee – and to all members of our Association – I wish you vibrant health and happiness, and hope you have a successful and enjoyable new season.
Yours in Cricket
GARY CAMPBELL
Hon President

STUMPS DRAWN ON SCG COUNTRY CUP By Phil Crofts - CHDCA Historical Committee Member and Life Member
In the search for country cricket honours, Coffs Harbour’s talent has travelled far and wide over the years, but that elusive top level remains just out of reach. Last season 2014-15, Coffs Harbour had their best -ever result, when they reached the semi-final of the SCG Country Cup competition, going down to eventual runners -up Hamilton-Wickham. The SCG Country Cup was launched in 2001 -02 as the NRMA Cup, and in its 14 years, the title was taken out by Newcastle teams on no less than 11 occasions, with Merewether and Hamilton- Wickham sharing the honours with 5 titles each. Last season’s final, at the SCG (where else?) saw Merewether compile 245 for 7, and the Hamwicks fall just short at 235 all out. In the semis, the Hamwicks with 3 for 203 had ov ercome CH’s 200, while Merewether with 9 for 219 were given a scare by Dubbo, who finally succumbed for 208. But now the SCG Country Cup is no more. Earlier this year, the 50 -over-per-side competition was scrapped, to be replaced by the Plan B Regional Bas h, a state-wide T20 knockout played in 2 conferences under the Sydney Sixers and Sydney Thunder franchises. The Coffs Coast Chargers will vie with Central Coast, Hunter, Illawarra, Macquarie Coast, Newcastle, Northern Inland and Northern Rivers, with forme r Australian Test star Doug Walters to be the Sydney Sixers ambassador. The final of the Regional Bash is scheduled for the SCG on 6 December (the semis are also planned for the SCG). As with all changes, it will take time to measure the success or otherwise of the revised format and new structure, but this might be an opportune time to look more closely at Coffs Harbour’s results over the years of the SCG Country Cup. And it certainly has been a mixed bag, although it is a positive to reflect on that semi -final placing last season. The inaugural 2001 -2 season showed promise, comfortable wins over Casino and Ballina taking CH to the final 8. Maitland chased down CH’s 6 for 257 with 7 for 261, but CH then atoned by defeating Goulburn in the consolation playoff. The following few years proved disappointing, but CH bounced back with a QF placing in 2005 -06. A bye, a win and a draw took CH to Dubbo, where they had a strong win over Lake Illawarra. However, Wallsend proved too strong in the QF, scoring 160 and the n rolling CH for just 96. 2006-07 proved the most disappointing season of all: Coffs bowed out of the SCG Cup without bowling a ball. A first -round bye was followed by the scheduled match against Macleay Valley being abandoned due to rain, and CH was gone. However they bounced back in 2007 -08, making the finals at Tamworth, only to find Charlestown were too strong 207 to 181. Again Coffs showed resilience with a 5 wicket win over Maitland in the consolation match.
-2-
The 2011 -12 season proved a highlight, CH making the Cup quarter-final. In that match at Wyong, Coffs made a competitive 9 for 203, but Merewether chased it down for the loss of just 3 wickets. The following year 2012 -13, it was another QF loss, this time to Hamilton-Wickham at the Central Coast. CH’s 154 were never enough to challenge the competition heavy-weights, who replied with 3 for 156. And so that brings us to last season’s semi -final loss, again to Hamilton-Wickham. As always, losses at that level are a case of ‘so near, yet so far’, but apart from the team efforts, there are also plenty of highlights to look at with the individual performances over the years. It is no great surprise to see Craig Haworth’s name feature prominently. His 139 against Nambucca-Bellingen at Thistle Park in November 2003 is the highest ever individual score, and part of CH’s biggest ever tally, at 9 for 383. Craig also has the honour of the most appearances for CH at 25 and the most career runs, 810 at an average of 36.82, over the full 14-year history of the SCG Cup. Matt Francis has the most career wickets, 22 wickets at an impressive 21.64. The Record Wicket Partnerships also make for fascinating reading, with the names reading like a ‘who’s who’ of CHDCA history since t he turn of the century. The first wicket record of 192 was set at South -West Rocks in October 2010 by Adam Turner 117* and Alec Byrne 102 and led CH to an impressive 4 for 287, only to have Macleay Valley fall just short at 282 all out. Haworth 96 and Todd Gill 74 set the 3 rd wicket mark at 154 against Ballina in the Cup’s first season, and the same pair hold the 4 th wicket mark of an outstanding 205, with Haworth 139 and Gill 129, against Nambucca Bellingen at Thistle Park in November 2003. All the partner ship records might be worthy of mention, that’s what records are about, but some lower order combinations stand out. In December 2012, Craig Haworth 31 and Joe Willman shared 50 for the 8 th wicket, but Hamilton-Wickham still won; for the 9 th wicket, David Angus 66 and Trent Dierick 17* made 63, but Merewether won easily. However, on the other side of the ledger, that 9 th wicket record is shared by (future South Australian Sheffield Shield player) Joe Mennie 34* and Troy Herbert 31*, with Coffs defeating Has ting Rivers by just 2 wickets in December 2007. And then the 10 th wicket partnership record of 66 is held by Julian Hulbert 30 and Luke Corlis 29*. Their efforts proved the match -winning difference in a win over Tweed in November 2013. Thanks to Hulbert an d Corlis, Coffs made 194, and then rolled Tweed for 129. Space is not sufficient to detail every statistic, although a season average of 150 to Adam Turner in 2010 -11, and a final career average (SCG Cup) of 97.50 (3 innings, aggregate 195, top score 117*) are memorable. The highest batting average (more than 10 appearances) is held by Todd Gill with a very solid 52.62, including 248 runs in that first 2001 -02 season. Suffice to say that Coffs Harbour can well and truly hold its head up for its performances in the history of the SCG Country Cup. We now look ahead to see what the new brigade can produce in the new format of the Regional Bash.

THE ELLEM’S TOURING CRICKETERS
The ELLEM FAMILY can claim to be one of the finest cricketing families to have played within the NCCC. It all started with the Tallawadjah Creek Ellems at Glenreagh where in the early days Andrew Ellem was a prominent cricketer and probably learnt the finer points of the Game in the transitional period between round arm and over arm bowling and was an excellent batsman.
At one stage there were the Ellem’s Touring cricketers and the team consisted of a complete team of Ellems including the Scorer their sister Ina (now Ina Bennett – Woolgoolga). At one time there was a total of 45 Ellems playing cricket in the District.
One prominent son of Andrew’ s was Henry Ellem who was actively involved in the CHDCA and was Captain of Woolgoolga 1 st Grade including being Captain of the Woolgoolga Premiership side in 1949-50.
In 1950 the NCCC accepted “ The Ellem Family Shield ” from the Ellem Family of Cricketers and was for 2 nd Grade Inter- District in the NCCC. The Shield is now displayed in the CHDCA Trophy Cabinet located at Coffs Harbour Leagues Club.
What was once Fisher Park is now Ellem Oval in Grafton where the old Park has been transformed in to a magnificent picturesque Cricket Oval surrounded by a picket fence and complete with a new traditional Club house (shown in the photo above).
RUSSELL ELLEM OVAL IN BOAMBEE IS NAMED AFTER ONE OF THE ELLEM CRICKETERS.

VALE BRELSFORD PARK By Joan Tolhurst COFFS HARBOUR DISTRICT CRICKET GROUND SINCE 1944 A concrete wicket was built in 1944 and later replaced with the first Turf Wicket in the District in 1964. Brelsford Park has been long remembered as the home of Coffs Harbour District Cricket COFFS HARBOUR CITY COUNCIL HAS NOW MOVED TO DEMOLISH BRELSFORD CRICKET GROUND as well as the long awaited Grandstand that was completed and opened officially by THE SHIRE PRESIDENT THE LATE ARN HANNAFORD IN NOVEMBER 1966
This is a very sad time for all Cricketers in the District to lose their beloved Historic Cricket Ground
NO CRICKET GROUND IN THE COFFS HARBOUR DISTRICT WILL EVER REPLACE BRELSFORD PARK

Gilbert swings into action for Coffs Harbour District - 15th Nov 2014
TALENT: Having Justin Gilbert in the line-up adds a new dimension to Coffs Harbour District’s rep fortunes.
A COFFS Harbour representative cricket team will include Dorrigo's star all-rounder Justin Gilbert for the first time in almost a decade, when tomorrow's visit is made to Port Macquarie. Coffs Harbour District play Hastings River at Wayne Richards Park in a round of the SCG Country Cup from 10am, and the new-look side is tipped as the best in years. "It was decided to really make an effort to put the best possible team on the bus and be really professional in our approach," manager Matt Rose said.
"Every player selected is in form and we're very honoured that Justin Gilbert made himself available after so long away from rep cricket. "Justin does a great job on the executive, with Dorrigo club and his growing business. "He's still a player who can turn a game single-handed and somebody you'd like on your side in a crisis. "Dorrigo has no club game this weekend and Justin's been off the field for a couple of weeks, so I think he's going to enjoy getting stuck in." Skipper Craig Haworth was a century-maker at club level last weekend and Ricky Welsh and Jack Ireland made half centuries in the inter-district meeting with Nambucca Valley on November 2.

Through to next round of Country Cup but only just - 18th Nov 2014
Coffs Harbour's representative cricket team will play Tweed River on December 14 in the next round of the SCG Country Cup. Gemima Harvey/Coffs Coast Advocate
COFFS Harbour District fell over the line against Hastings River to progress to the next round of the SCG Country Cup. The Coffs visitors remained three runs clear on 217 when the last Hastings wicket fell and will now play old rivals from Tweed River - probably at Coffs Coast Sports and Leisure Park - on December 14.
At the last moment, skipper Craig Haworth and high profile recruits Dave Angus and Justin Gilbert were forced to withdraw but rather than drop the bundle, manager Matt Rose said the three replacements starred for the side. "Apart from myself stepping up and getting run out for one," he quipped. "Russell Gardner got a late call-up and belted 72 runs Raja Sandhu was involved in taking the last wicket when Hastings needed a boundary off the last delivery to win. "John Lovett took the catch to go with five wickets he picked up in the game and one day after he took six at club level. "Okay, we won but we should never have put ourselves in that position."
Coffs batted first and were cruising until the innings went pear-shaped at 3-160. "At one stage the run rate could have seen us finish up around 290 but we lost our way and limped to 217," Rose admitted. "I was worried when Hastings got to 0-56 before losing their first wicket. "Then, they went as bad as we did and couldn't kick on with any strong bat play. "The last two wickets fell in the last over and we were off the hook." Rose also lamented another statistic which almost wrecked the day. "We bowled 44 wides in the innings. Sundries almost killed us which to be honest is pretty awful and it's something we have to fix before meeting Tweed. "Otherwise, it's going to be another year we fall down at that stage of the series." Coffs Harbour crash dream date at the SCG – 28 th Dec 2014
Lake Illawarra's Ryan Smith gives his best but the Lakers still lost to Coffs Harbour in the SCG Cup quarter-final at King George Oval, tarnishing an unbeaten record in all competitions this season.

Lake Illawarra suffered more SCG Country Cup heartache with a 34-run loss to Coffs Harbour in Sunday's quarter-final at King George Oval. The Lakers have made seven Finals Carnivals in a decade but been unable to win through to the decider at the Sydney Cricket Ground. Despite having a high seeding of three and unbeaten in all competitions this season, the Lakers were outplayed by a resolute Coffs Harbour, who face defending champions Hamilton Wickham on Monday at North Dalton Park to decide who plays at the SCG.
Batting first the sixth-seeded Coffs posted a competitive 201, led by half-centuries from Jack Ireland (63) and Alec Baldwin (55). The visitors were 2-133 before the Lakers fought back hard with Mark Ulcigrai taking 4-20 off 8.2 overs, while Tode Biracoski responded to his call-up by taking 3-18 off six overs.
In reply the Lakers were 1-54 but lost 5-10 and were bowled out for 167. Skipper Brendan White (36) top scored, with Biracoski, batting at No 8, making 23. Man-of-the-match Baldwin took 3-14 and Pat Myles 3-21 for Coffs. "It's very disappointing," White said. "We didn't do anything well enough and at this level if you don't play well you get punished."
The other three SCG Country Cup quarter-finals were one-sided affairs. Dubbo beat Weston Creek Molonglo by seven wickets, chasing down 165 in just 26.3 overs. Ben Strachan took 5-35 for Dubbo, while Mitch Bower (74) and Jordan Moran (47 not out) led the way with the bat. Dubbo take on Merewether at Figtree Oval on Monday after the top-seeded Merewether beat Wyong by six wickets. Having dismissed Wyong for 147, Simon Moore (81 no) showed his class with the Newcastle side winning with 16 overs to spare. Hamilton-Wickham (5-105) also needed just 18.1 overs to beat Murray Valley (104) at Figtree Oval.
Meanwhile, South Coast side The Rail and defending Country Plate champions Cootamundra advanced to the Plate final after Sunday's semi-finals in Tamworth were washed out. Cootamundra are the top seeds and passed Wauchope RSL, while second-seeded The Rail went through to the final without a ball bowled against Blue Mountains.
Finally, Southern Highlands side Robertson Burrawang, top seeds in the second-tier Country Shield, on Monday take on Tamworth Colts in the semi-finals in Tamworth. Albury Wodonga face Clarence River, with the finals on Tuesday.
So near yet so far away from Country Cup Final - 3rd Jan 2015

ROBUST batting in both lead-up finals by Jack Ireland was not enough to put the Coffs Harbour District rep team into the final of the SCG Country Cup.
Coffs won the quarter final meeting against Lake Macquarie by 34 runs, thanks to an innings of 63 by the young Urunga star who was ably assisted by Alec Baldwin's knock of 55.
But while Ireland was able to produce an even better 73 in the semi- final meeting with Hamilton-Wickham, he was the only batsman in the top order to fire, once Baldwin was sent on his way without scoring.
That was apart from resistance by Craig Haworth (30) and Raja Sandhu (35) but the total of 200 wasn't enough and the winning side passed the target in the 41st over for the loss of three wickets.
Coffs Harbour District's loss paves the way for an all-Newcastle grand final with Hamilton-Wickham to meet Merewether at the Sydney Cricket Ground on January 18.

COFFS Harbour inflicted Clarence River's first loss of the season in the final round of North Coast Inter-District Cricket at Ellem Oval yesterday.
The Country Shield champions looked to have made a strong start when openers Tim Tilse (69) and Matt Dougherty (54) built a solid platform with a 91-run opening stand for Clarence River to post 9 for 244 off its 50 overs. "It's good batting with Matty because you know he's going to get off to a flyer if he gets in, so it gives me a bit more time to play myself in," Tilse said at the change of innings. "We've got a pretty good total out here. Anything beyond 200 is pretty defendable and we know we've got the bowling attack that can do it." However, a 166-run stand between Russ Gardner (85) and captain Damon Roots (65) highlighted Coffs Harbour's impressive chase.
NCCC CRICKET: Closest finish imaginable - 11th Feb 2015

A SINGLE wicket was all that stood between Lower Clarence bowing out of the 2014-15 North Coast Cricket Interdistrict competition and the chance to exact revenge on rivals Clarence River. Clarence River, Coffs Harbour and Lower Clarence all finished equal on 15 points with two wins each after the final round on Sunday. The final standings were determined by a quotient in which runs for, runs against, wickets lost and wickets taken are all taken into account. It takes a mathematician to work out this year's grand finalists after one of the closest finishes imaginable on Sunday.
"I was writing the quotient rule on my leg on the bus trip home," Lower Clarence opening batsman Matt Farrell said. "The impression we had from the phone calls was Coffs Harbour had scored the runs against Clarence River seven wickets down. "We were celebrating on the bus because we thought we were in. That was until I read the paper the next day - they were only six down. We had a shocker in the first game against Grafton. A few more runs against them would've been helpful. "We knew they'd get through with two really big wins. But ideally it would've been nice if they won again on Sunday."
Illustrating just how close the equation was, Lower Clarence similarly would have qualified had they dismissed Nambucca Valley at Macksville for five runs less. As it was, Lower Clarence posted 8/262 courtesy of a blistering start from Brett O'Connor, who blasted 72 off 29 balls, which included eight sixes, before he was dismissed at 1/93. The next seven wickets fell for 57 runs before Matt Ardrey (36) settled the ship and Zac Honeybrook (52no) helped boost the total. "Brett hit a six off the first ball and teed off from there," Lower Clarence captain Ben McMahon said. "Meanwhile, it was the best innings I've ever seen Zac play. He batted really smart and put it away when it was there to hit."
Honeybrook followed up with three wickets, so too did Jacob McMahon, as Lower Clarence used nine bowlers to clean up Nambucca Valley for 113. "I gave all the young fellas a bowl and they did the job for us," the skipper said. "They're the team of the future." NCCC INTERDISTRICT

Clarence River loses to Coffs in North Coast Inter-District Final - 2nd Mar 2015
Tye Murphy on his way to a handy half-century.
Story: Matthew Elkerton
CLARENCE River rep cricket side was not able to reproduce its winning form from the Country Cup and went down in a hard-fought battle against Coffs Harbour in the North Coast Inter-District Cricket final yesterday.
The Coffs Harbour side got off to a blinding start with the bat after opener Mathew Riddoch hit a quick fire 45 off 32 balls to start the innings. His performance was backed up well by Tye Murphy who scored a handy half century for the Coffs side. A mid-innings fight back by Clarence River bowlers Matt Pigg (4-39) and Nathan Blanch (3-43) saw the Coffs side struggling at eight wickets down for 161. However a dogged performance from lower order batsmen Pat Myles (35 no) and Matt Rose (33 no) put together a ninth- wicket partnership of 76 runs to see the Coffs Harbour side to eight wickets for 237 runs at the end of their allotted 50 overs.
The Clarence River team, chasing 238 runs for victory, got off to a handy start with the opening pair putting on around 20 runs before the fall of the first wicket. However, disciplined and attacking bowling from the Coffs Harbour side saw the Clarence River team dismantled and were bowled out for 107, 131 runs shy of the winning target. Best bowler Matt Pigg also top-scored for the Clarence River side with 24 not out, however he was disappointed with his team's performance. "We did it tough out in the middle with the bat," Pigg said. "Their bowlers were really on point. I was happy with the way I struck the ball but I'm not real happy with the fact that I top scored with 24. "We're a far better side than that and we have proven that before it's just today wasn't our day."
For the Coffs Harbour side, Josh Bartlett (3-14) and Brad Miller (3-37) were the pick of the bowlers and shared in the spoils along with John Lovett (2-14).
Clarence River captain Bob McKenzie said the day was very up and down for the Clarence River side and it was tough day in the end. "It was an up and down day," McKenzie said. "I thought we did well to restrict them to 237 after they got off to flying start." "We had a loss today and it was tough one. We just couldn't get any partnerships together. We needed a good 100 run or 80 run partnership but it just wasn't happening for the boys out in the middle. "They played really well. We obviously could have played better and we know that, but unfortunately that's just how cricket goes sometimes."
"I think rep cricket is a great thing; it gets all the good players together," he said. "People can learn things from other players that you don't get to learn from guys in your own club. Even though we're opponents on a week to week basis, were truly friends when it comes down to it."
The Daily Examiner's own Sports Editor Bill North played for the Clarence River side however it wasn't a day to remember for Northy. When bowling North was carted to all corners of the ground and was hooked after two overs with figures of no wickets for 24 runs. With the bat it was a little better as he scored the side's third- highest total of 14.
Haworth goes out on high after victory over Clarence - 4th Mar 2015
CRAIG Haworth ended his glittering representative career as a winner when Coffs Harbour easily beat Clarence River in the Interdistrict Cricket grand final. The former NSW Country captain said he would continue playing club cricket with Park Beach Bowling Club Colts and spend his time helping youngsters achieve what he did at the top level. "It's a great way for Craig to go out in what's been Coffs Harbour District's most successful rep season for decades," club mate Matt Rose said. "Third in the SCG Country Cup, Interdistrict champions and the age divisions have played and won numerous finals with plenty making representative teams."
The victory was more amazing given four changes were made as play began. "I was buying a box of beer to take up for the game when I got the phone call to bring my gear," Rose said. "After getting out for a duck the day before there wasn't much to recommend me for the job, so it was a case of getting stuck in."
Matt Riddoch's late inclusion proved a masterstroke. The Urunga skipper launched a rescue mission when Coffs were struggling at 2-86 after 12 overs. He scored 45 off 42 deliveries to straighten the innings and received huge support from Tyh Murphy's half century. Riddoch's dig was significant enough to earn man-of-the-match honours as Coffs Harbour rattled up 8-237 for the 50 overs. There was an attack of the yips in the latter stages but a second rescue was made by tail-enders Rose and Pat Myles, who put on 76 for the last wicket.
In reply, Clarence River fell well short and were all out for 107. "I can't say we found them easy and the wickets only came every now and then," Rose admitted. The home side's demise came after 20 overs when they lost three wickets for seven runs to be 6-67, with little prospect of rising. "Josh Bartlett shook them up and finished with 3-28," Rose added. "Brad Lewis got rid of a couple and John Lovett and Damon Rootes took care of the last of them."
For Rootes, this will be something to savour years from now when he looks back on his sporting career. Just 18, not many can say they have captained a winning team at this level. As one great rep career (Haworth) ends, perhaps another is just beginning. C.H.D.C.A INTER-DISTRICT RESULTS

REGISTRATIONS are open for the second eight- team Sommers Cup T20 competition to be played in 2015.

Special coloured uniforms are used and new "clubs" are formed such as the Sharks and Ghosts. Matches will be played over the weekends of January 10-11 and 17-18 at Coffs Coast Sports and Leisure Park following gradings on Friday, January 9. Cost is $65 per player. A club-based event for third and fourth grade will be held at Richardson Park on the same dates. Players wishing to put their names forward should contact club secretaries as soon as possible.

TOP level cricket is back at C.ex Coffs International Stadium for the first time since 2007. A partnership between Coffs Harbour District Cricket Association (CHDCA) and the stadium's members group will allow the Sommers T20 Cup to be played today in the Leisure Park precinct with the finals (including commentary) on the stadium wicket next weekend. "It's been generous of the members to provide vital assistance and access to the region's premier sporting facility and CHDCA is very grateful," competition convenor Grant Lawler said. "Making the Sommers Cup, our premier T20 event, a partnership between the two associations moves us forward into a new era with players being able to utilise the best ground in the area. "Their generosity will allow this exciting new competition in its second year to reach new heights. "Without such support local cricket talent would be unable to use the stadium which has been the trend for seven years. "The last final or match played at the venue was between Sawtell and Dorrigo." Grant is certain using the facility again for big tournaments will help attract greater numbers of players and professionals to the Coffs Coast. "This year sees former NSW player Wayne Seabrook attending. "Fans will recall Wayne made 165 runs for the state." This year, the franchise names for teams are Rebels, Force, Vipers, Chargers, Wildcats and Gladiators. The next stage is to link Coffs Coast business houses as franchise owners "Statistics from the 2014 carnival speak for themselves. "In all, 314 fours and 110 sixes were hit. "Not to be outdone, the bowlers took 133 wickets at an average of 26.14." Matches start today at 10am on Leisure Park with lower grades at Richardson Park in Sawtell from 9am.
T20 decider shapes as a thriller - 14th Jan 2015
Gladiators batsman Nathan Secomb just manages to survive a confident appeal for dismissal.Leigh Jensen
OPPRESSIVE humidity didn't stop the anticipated thrills and spills at the opening weekend of Sommers T20 Cup cricket at Coffs Coast Sports and Leisure Park. Gladiators and Rebels emerged as front- runners for next Saturday's finals series by winning two matches to head the table on 12 points. But T20 cricket can turn up or down in an instant. Number one draft pick Alec Baldwin was picked up by Vipers franchise, along with former NSW Sheffield Shield right-hander Wayne Seabrook. Baldwin scored two half-centuries but his team could only win one match and sits level on seven points with the Force. Winless outfits Chargers and Wildcats are on two points and have the job in front of them this Saturday. Best bowling efforts came from Fin Wilson, who took five wickets in a match, while Jack Ireland captured a hat-trick. Final round matches begin at 10am with the full draw in Saturday's Coffs Coast Advocate. Thanks to the partnership with C.ex Coffs International Stadium's members group, the grand final will be played on the main turf wicket under lights at 7.30pm.
Meanwhile, the Last Man Stands eight-a-side social cricket competition is still looking for teams and players to participate in the Thursday evening Coffs Coast League. This competition will now start on Thursday, January 29, to allow participants more time to organise teams. Interested players can contact Dave Szumowski on 0425 297 716, send an email or sign up online. Last Man Stands is a quick, exciting and rule-bending version of T20 played for less than two hours on Thursday evenings and it doesn't matter if you are just a bunch of backyard heroes or serious cricketers. Matches are played at Forsyth, Jetty and Reg Ryan Ovals.
Buckle up for fitting T20 finale - 17th Jan 2015 5:30 AM

GLADIATORS and Rebels go into today's Sommers T20 Cup deciding round on top of the table. Both franchises ended the opening weekend unbeaten and the onus is now on the four rival teams to end their supremacy and upset the pecking order. For the first time since 2007, cricket will be played on the centre of C.ex Coffs International Stadium. In the three rounds leading to the 7.30pm final, one match will be played on the main turf wicket with one at the adjacent Coffs Coast Sports and Leisure Park. A lower grade Booma match will also be played at Leisure Park. In the spirit of T20 cricket, big-hitting batsmen, tricky bowling strategies and desperate fielding will turn the day into a thrills spectacular. Tournament convenor Grant Lawler revealed that in the six matches played on the opening weekend, batsmen scored a massive 1850 runs while the bowlers took 85 wickets at an average of 21.8 apiece. Among the highlights, Force all-rounder Jack Ireland took 4-25 including a hat trick and contributed 43 runs but in the dramatic nature of the T20 format, his team still lost to Rebels when the batsmen took control. Top draft pick Alec Baldwin had a field day with the bat for Vipers with innings of 61 and 88 not out. However, the first of those knocks was for nought when the Gladiators bowlers got on top and tore through the opposing batting border. Baldwin's 81 runs was the best score for any batsman, while Wildcats bowler Finley Wilson did best for the trundlers by returning 5-31 - again in a losing team.

TOP ORDER batsmen Justin Gilbert and Alex Byrne set the platform but it was the bowling of Glenn Kesby that secured the 2015 Sommers T20 Cup championship for Gladiators at C.ex Coffs International Stadium. Playing giant-killing franchise The Force which had bustled from the middle of the pack into the grand final, Gladiators batted first and posted 167 for the innings, thanks to solid hitting from Gilbert (36) and Byrne (42). Daniel Harris wagged the tail with a rapid fire 36 and Kesby managed 11 in a short visit to the crease but the biggest mark was made by the latter when he took the ball in hand. Force had an early setback with Matt Seccombe sent back with four runs against his name. The run chase then settled down with Jake Barr contributing 32, followed by Jack Ireland's 48 and a neat 21 from ever-reliable Chris Neal. Neal was Kesby's first victim and from there he, turned the match on its head. Kesby clean bowled the last three men in while restricting the scoring and Force was finally dismissed for 138. Fellow bowler Sam Durbidge also played a vital role by first sending Barr on his way and then taking out Dave Angus, the last man who might have been able to pull the game out of the fire.
Season 2014-15
Media Coverage Sawtell and Diggers first winners as cricket blasts off - 12th Oct 2014

SAWTELL cricketers have a reputation for liking limited overs cricket. The club added to that record in Saturday's season opener at Richardson Park. Hosting Park Beach Bowling Club Colts, the premiers took advantage of winning the toss and posted 6-232 from their 45 overs. Before the match, president Rod Buckle spoke of expectations surrounding teenaged batsman Tyh Murphy and the exciting youngster answered the call in so many ways. Murphy put on 59 runs at the top of the order including a partnership of 76 with Brad Lewis and 35 with Ben Andrews. In the field he took one catch and returned bowling figures of 1-9 from his three overs. If anybody needed reminding how valuable Andrews is to the club, he top scored with 71 before coming out to open the bowling. Andrews then made the breakthrough by removing Colts opener Tim Parkins when it looked like the visiting side were getting into a comfortable rhythm. Colts' other opener, Alec Baldwin, might have felt disappointed with how his day ended. The youngster punched out 59 quick runs but nobody could match his scoring rate. When Baldwin's wicket fell, Colts were 3-87 and the innings meandered away from that moment. It ended with the last batsman heading to the shed in the 31st over with the total sitting on 124. Trent Mitchell was the destroyer. He smashed the middle order - at one stage taking 5-14 - and finished the afternoon with total figures of 6-37 from seven overs.
Meanwhile, Plantation Diggers and Dorrigo faced off in the first top grade match played at Forsyth Park (McLean Street Oval) in many summers and it's an outing Alex Byrne won't forget in a hurry. Byrne was unbeaten on 84 by the time Diggers moved past the target of 147 set by Dorrigo in the 19th over of their session. The men from the mountain found it hard going once Secomb, Wilson and Gilbert were removed with Glen Kesby figuring prominently in the dismissals. Luke Beaumont produced some fireworks in the middle of the day with a handy 43 but without building partnerships, the innings ran out of steam.
Sawtell dismiss Dorrigo for 29 but it's far from a record - 19th Oct 2014
Dorrigo batsmen Nathan Secomb and Garth Burley put runs on the board at the start of the innings but had no idea how quickly their afternoon would go downhill. Leigh Jensen
IT'S NOT a record but the 29 runs scored by Dorrigo against Sawtell in round two is one of the lowest innings in Coffs Harbour District Cricket history. The Buzzards managed to stay at the crease for 21 of their allotted 45 overs. Nobody was able to get into double figures and Luke Beaumont finished top-scorer with eight runs. Drizzle was falling on Richardson Park as start time approached and neither captain wanted to lose the toss for fear of being sent immediately to the middle.
Fate determined Dorrigo's Justin Gilbert would be the disappointed man and he must have had dark thoughts when Nathan Secomb was first man back to the stands after being caught by Daniel Maguire off the bowling of Pat Myles. If Maguire was feeling on a high at that moment, imagine how he felt later? Tossed the ball by skipper Ricky Welsh, Maguire ended his seven over spell with figures of 5-5. In one astonishing period he removed Garth Burley, Eric Moore and Grant Lawler while the score was stranded on 22, just to confirm which club was having the worst of the afternoon. Trent Dierick made his first appearance of the summer and took 3- 18 in a six over spell. Sawtell picked off the required runs in only three overs with Ricky Welsh (6) and young Charlie Towells (13) unbeaten. In those three over, Dorrigo sent down 10 wides. The batsman showed no mercy to Eric Moore, pounding him for 25 runs in two overs.
(Just for the record, the lowest first grade innings score of eight runs was posted in 1936 in a match between Orara and Jetty at Jetty Oval). Sawtell's 'Mr Versatility' gives 131 reasons why he can bat - 26th Oct 2014
Ben Andrews has such an awesome reputation as a 'break through' bowler it's often forgotten he can bat through to a big score when the situation demands. Rob Wright
SO SUCCESSFUL has Ben Andrews been as a bowler in recent seasons it's sometimes forgotten how devastating he can be with the bat. The brilliant Sawtell all-rounder reminded everybody of his match-winning abilities in the round three clash with Urunga by producing a scene- stealing innings of 131, the biggest so far in first grade this summer.
A batsman's deck at Richardson Park enticed the home side to choose first use after winning the toss and while Andrews was the stand-out, his partnerships proved the real winner. Opener Ricky Welsh posted a personal total of 42 and featured in a 77-run joint effort. Andrews and Daniel Maguire (22) put on 83 together while Charlie Towells contributed seven of the 28-run stand he shared with the man of the moment. Sawtell finished at 6-239 and Urunga were in trouble right from the start.
Openers Matthew Riddoch and Luke Pomroy were removed by Keith Campbell without scoring and while Jack Ireland (40) and Jake Barr staged a mini-revival, Towells, Keeden Corliss and Rhys Watson picked off the rest of the order with two wickets each. The last Urunga batsman walked in the 37th over with the score on 119. Yes, Andrews did pick up a wicket. He removed Barr for 12 and finished with 1-10 from seven overs, plus the attractive statistic of four maidens in his spell.
Cool 'ton' by Ricky Welsh in heatwave leaves Sawtell on top - 16th Nov 2014

PARK Beach Bowling Club Colts continued climbing the cricketing ladder with an easy win over Urunga at Brelsford Park. Everything fell into place for the big improvers of the competition from the moment the toss was won. Batting first, Colts totalled 192 for the 45 overs and then proceeded to dismantle the host team in the uncomfortable part of the afternoon that provided heat, humidity, lightning and brief showers. Urunga was dismissed in the 29th over for 94.
Just around the corner at Fitzroy Oval it was a similar situation for Plantation Diggers in the grand final replay with Sawtell - or, so it seemed. Diggers won the toss and batted, finally reaching 8-204. Young gun Damon Rootes dominated the wicket for 270 minutes to rack up 76 runs including four boundaries. Comeback 'kid' Gus Garland stayed in the sun for 206 minutes to contribute 63 runs in a stand that produced nine boundaries. As players reached the halfway point, the only bright spot for Sawtell seemed to be Ben Andrews' bag of 4-31 but things were about to change.
Instead of melting in the heat, the premiers again proved a hoodoo side for Diggers. Ricky Welsh - who was been promising something huge for a couple of weeks - carried his bat for an unbeaten 108 and took the bowlers apart. He stayed in the middle for 246 scorching minutes and put the ball past the outfield chasers and across the boundary rope on 19 occasions. There was help from Clinton Hayward (40) and Tyh Murphy (34) but the telling statistic was Sawtell only needed 33 overs to get what was required to win and remain unbeaten after five matches in the 2014-15 summer.

TIED cricket matches are still rare so what develops from the second day's play between Plantation Diggers and Urunga will be interesting. After Urunga ran up 106 in their innings, Diggers pulled stumps at the end of a rain-interrupted afternoon at Fitzroy Ovals with three wickets down and the same score on the board. Just one more run will put the host club in the box seat. But ... what if there's a washout? Will Coffs Harbour District Cricket Association call it a tie or a draw? The (local) laws of cricket aside, Urunga only just made it into the 32nd over to reach their total after Glen Kesby picked off their best men with figures of 5-34 from 15 overs. Diggers batted for 22 overs to equalise. Batsmen Damon Rootes (31) and Russell Gardner (30) remain not out and if there's a dry track and plenty of sunshine this Saturday, they could still ponder the possibility of chasing more than first innings points.
Meanwhile, Dorrigo again confounded the experts at Richardson Park by causing what has almost become an annual, ritualistic, crazily unpredictable upset of high-flying Sawtell. The home side won the toss and gave the Buzzards first use of the middle. So far so good. Dorrigo was dismissed for 81 on the fifth ball of the 24th over, with only Justin Gilbert (16) and last man out Simon Donald (32) able to crack double figures. That's when the wheels fell off for the Blue Caps. It was all over in the 22nd over with the scoreboard showing 49. After batsmen had dominated for the first six rounds of summer, the week of precipitation leading up to this match helped the bowlers finally get a little of their own back. Nathan Secomb did best with 4-27 but Eric Moore was the man who really mucked up Sawtell's day. His four overs included three maidens and three wickets at the miniscule cost of four runs. The visitors batted a second time for a short period and were 2-20 at stumps.
Another amazing Andrews afternoon with cricket bat & ball - 21st Dec 2014

IF YOU can find a bookmaker shouting odds on which player is currently the most valuable in Coffs Harbour District Cricket, slap a large wad of cash on Sawtell's Ben Andrews. Not for the first time this season, all-rounder Andrews has been the dominant factor in a win by the premiers. Against Park Beach Bowling Club Colts at Richardson Park it was with the bat ... then with the ball.
Colts won the toss and gave Sawtell first use of the crease. That decision was crucial with the home side losing the first two wickets with just six runs on the board. However, the innings turned on a valuable knock of 57 by Andrews and a late contribution of 29 by skipper Dave Angus that helped the side total 135 for the 37 overs in the middle. For Colts, Nii Ollennu was best by taking 4-25 including two maidens in his nine over stint. In normal terms for the 'kings' of 45-over matches it wasn't a fantastic score but that didn't matter when Andrews cut loose with his bowling. He totally destroyed the Colts top order. First Alec Baldwin was dismissed for three runs, and then in order - Nathan Gett (no score), Ian Slapp (2), Craig Haworth (2) and Ben Sims (3) - before Brad Lewis managed to elbow his way in for a piece of the action by removing Mitchell Weeden. Andrews returned figures of 7-26 as Colts' afternoon ended in the 22nd over on 51 runs. Once Lewis chimed in, the tail had no chance. His four overs included two maidens and figures of 2-4 against his name.

THE FINISH was a real nail biter when Plantation Diggers overtook Sawtell in the top of the table meeting at Richardson Park. Sawtell went down for the first time in this rain-interrupted summer of Coffs Harbour District cricket.
Play was halted when heavy thunderstorms swept the ground in the early afternoon period and it looked for a while the match could be shortened from the regulation 45 overs but the skies cleared and players got on with it. The home side batted first and posted 9-155 with Clinton Hayward top-scoring with 34. His was the second wicket to fall when the score was on 73 and it sparked a mini-collapse of the top order when they lost 3-0. Brad Lewis was sent back to the pavilion without adding to the total and he was followed by Tyh Murphy. Bowler Hardeep Bassi collected the wickets of Hayward and Lewis and finished the match with 4-31 including one maiden. Skipper Dave Angus, Trent Dierick, Ben Andrews and Pat Myles all made double figures for Sawtell to eventually give Diggers something reasonable to aim at.
Diggers stumbled when Damon Rootes went for two but ever-consistent Alex Byrne knuckled down to the task and the total began to climb. It seemed to take forever to reach triple figures but the visitors were ultra-patient and Byrne formed some useful partnerships. Firstly, with Raja Sandhu and then with Gus Garland who once Byrne was dismissed, was joined by Scott Carpenter to push the score to within striking distance. Things became scary when Rhys Tolhurst became the ninth man down. Ben Andrews took him out with Diggers still 11 runs short of victory but Bassi and Brad Carey managed to hold on and the winning runs came on the fifth ball of the 42nd over.
This win more than any other is going to be a huge confidence boost to Diggers who have found Sawtell - considered the masters of limited overs cricket - their bogey side over the past half dozen seasons.
Low scores let Diggers and Sawtell steal a march on pack - 15th Feb 2015
Russell Gardner puts the 'evil eye' on Scott Hulbert a heartbeat before the stumps are broken. Gemima Harvey
THE expression "a quick game is a good game" is generally associated with the card game of euchre. Plantation Diggers cricketers might have agreed with the saying after sundries euchred Urunga in a low-scoring nail-biter at Brelsford Park. After winning the toss, it wasn't a hard decision for Diggers to send the home side to the middle and with Russell Gardner bowling up a storm, Urunga was all out for 66 in the 33rd over. Gardner took 4-11 including three maidens. His spell sent the opposing side's middle order spinning to earth by removing three batsmen for the addition of four runs, leaving Urunga on the precipice at 5-51. Damon Rootes and Hardeep Bassi wasted no time cleaning up the tail.
Diggers should have cruised to victory but fell across the line in the 22nd over by reaching 7-67. Urunga contributed to its own demise by offering up 10 wides, two byes and four leg byes to make 'sundries' the top- scorer after Alex Byrne (13), Gardner (12) and Gus Garland (11) were the only batsmen to make double figures.
In the match at Dorrigo, the home side won the toss and spent the rest of the day regretting their folly. Sawtell finished up at 8-220 with Ben Andrews contributing 59 along with 48 from skipper Dave Angus-Crouch. Dorrigo would have known their fate early when captain Justin Gilbert headed back to the pavilion with the score on 1-2. Trent Dierick took 4-18 and while four batsmen made it into the 'teens, the Buzzards were all out for 90 in the 32nd over. Carpenter's right stuff rockets Diggers towards minor title - 1st Mar 2015

PLANTATION Diggers is one step closer to the minor premiership following an easy 60 run win over Park Beach Bowling Club Colts. Second-placed Sawtell had the bye and Diggers' latest victory ensures the two teams have all but given the chasers the slip with one round remaining until the semi finals.
The first bit of good news is ... the weather cooperated for a change and players made it onto Coffs Coast Sports and Leisure Park. Even better news for Diggers was the continuing stability in the middle order that when looking back over the records has probably been the club's greatest strength this rain-truncated summer. With top order men Alex Byrne and Steve Meakins dismissed without scoring and run machine Russell Gardner out for two, Colts must have been feeling no pain with their rivals struggling at 3-19. Instead, the man with the 'right stuff' was Scott Carpenter, the opening batsman with the same name as a famous pioneering astronaut, who steadied the ship with an innings of 46 before being run out. Middle men Damon Rootes (49) and Gus Garland (40) went close to half centuries and with a late slice of razzle dazzle from Hardeep Bassi (38), the visitors finished their 45 overs at a reasonable 9-224.
For Colts, Matt Francis did best with the ball by taking 3-30 and later with the bat in his hand, ran up a total of 33 to be second top scorer. In the end, Colts only managed to put 166 runs on the board. Veteran Terry Baldwin tried a mini-rescue with 38 runs before becoming Bassi's second wicket. Bassi and Gardner each finished with three wickets but Julian Hulbert's contribution was also invaluable. Bowling tight to restrict Colts' scoring, Hulbert kept the pressure on and slowed their run rate to a crawl with three maidens in his nine over spell for figures of 1-15.
Diggers take minor premiership but Sawtell snapping at heels - 8th Mar 2015
Rep cricket skipper Damon Rootes latches on to this Ben Andrews delivery as he compiles a super 91-run innings for home club Plantation Diggers. Leigh Jensen
PLANTATION Diggers collected the Coffs Harbour District Cricket minor premiership with a comfortable 51 run win over Sawtell at Fitzroy Oval. But the pattern of the match suggests a lot more work is needed before Diggers' name goes on the winner's trophy in two weeks as the Blue Caps only need to tighten up a little to send the title right to the wire.
Diggers batted first and ran up 9-187, before Sawtell were bowled out for 136. Similarities between the two performances were uncanny. Both teams fared badly at the beginning and were 3-12 in next to no time. Great middle order batting was the attractive feature of both outfits and the tails wagged in the manner that is going to be needed when the pressure intensifies in the finals. The one big difference and overall clincher for Diggers was the superb 91 run stand from Damon Rootes that included eight boundaries and three sixes.
Brad Lewis chipped in with Sawtell's big middle order contribution - his 57 made up of five fours and a pair of sixes. What hampered the premiers was seeing the run rate slow down at the back end.
Front line bowlers Glen Kesby and Julian Hulbert did the bullocking work against the top order but the next wave of Bassi, Garland and Rootes proved very economical and hard to score off. Diggers through to grand final after weather forces draw - 16th Mar 2015

RAIN caused havoc on the first weekend of Coffs Harbour District cricket semi finals but, in the end, did Plantation Diggers a huge favour. With Saturday play impossible in the wake of a deluge the day before, Diggers were able to put stumps in the ground at Fitzroy Oval for a 45-over clash with Sawtell. With more bad weather predicted, Sawtell made the sensible decision after winning the toss and headed for the middle.
Big-hitting opener Ricky Welsh got the show rolling with 31 before being run out, but Tyh Murphy (34), Ben Andrews (24) and Casey Arendarcikas (21) all made handy contributions under the circumstances and the Blue Caps totalled 9-175. For Diggers, Russell Gardner and Raja Sandhu each took three wickets.
The minor premiers stayed at the crease for 24 overs before the skies opened and the game was abandoned and declared drawn. For the record, Diggers were 4-89 at that stage. In that time, Alex Byrne top-scored with 43 including four boundaries and one six. The long run of run-making ended for Damo Rootes who was dismissed for one off the bowling of Jonty Neaves who collected 3-32 on the day.
Park Beach Bowling Club Colts eliminated Urunga at Richardson Park and will back up at the same venue this Saturday as rank outsiders against Sawtell. The winner goes on to meet Diggers in the decider on March 28-29.
Sawtell through to grand final as rain plays havoc again - 23rd Mar 2015

PERHAPS it was going to be this way all along, with Sawtell through to this weekend's Coffs Harbour District cricket grand final to defend the crown against minor premiers Plantation Diggers. While another rained-out game helped give the Blue Caps a leg-up through their higher standing against Park Beach Bowling Club Colts, it was a superb 59 by opener Ricky Welsh that showed they are not going to surrender the title without one last mighty effort.
Vanquished Colts captain Matt Rose tips Sawtell to go all the way. "Rain aside, Sawtell still had to work mighty hard to win against what was easily our best effort of the season," Rose said. "Being around the game a while it told me that's just what they wanted to top off their preparation. "Diggers will have their hands full, particularly if good weather allows a fair contest."
After losing the toss, Colts were faced with only one strategy. "On that ground there would be no sense in going after leg-before decisions, so it was a case of taking your catches," Rose said. "We had them 3-17 and they had the job in front and I was so happy to dismiss them for a total of 131. "We needed a clear run and had 12 runs on the board when the weather turned nasty. "The umpires then called it off for safety reasons but still, I was happy with a great effort."
Rose said the best two sides will be on display next weekend at Coffs Coast Sports and Leisure Park. "Diggers and Sawty have done best of everybody and deserve to be there on the biggest day of the year," he said. Old foes meet in grand final for record fourth straight time - 28th Mar 2015

IF THE two combatants in this weekend's CHDCA grand final seem overly familiar with each other, it's with good reason.
Sawtell and Plantation Diggers will meet in the season decider for a record fourth consecutive year. Twice before in the association's history two sides have met in three straight grand finals.
Bucca and Orara were great rivals in the mid- 1960s while Diggers Ex-Services and Orara faced off just as flared trousers were going out of fashion for the first time.
So far the grand final record is 2-1 in Sawtell's favour but Diggers captain Alex Byrne believes that might be a positive for his team. "I think it's our turn to win," Byrne said. "The past three have gone Sawtell, us then Sawtell, so hopefully it's us again this year."
This weekend's match might be decided more by who isn't playing instead of who is with both teams missing key players. Diggers will be without strike bowler Glenn Kesby while Sawtell has lost plenty of premiership experience, with Brad Lewis out due to a foot injury and Dave Angus missing after having shoulder surgery.
For Sawtell, it's a case of deja vu, according to stand-in skipper Ben Andrews. "Considering 'Lanky' (former strike bowler David Langford-Smith) had to miss a grand final, it feels like a case of 'here we go again'," Andrews said. "You can't blame Davey Angus, though. He was on the list for a shoulder reconstruction and a spot came up."
When asked how confident his team was ahead of the grand final, Andrews said everyone was aware the result could easily go either way. "For the past four years, it's been neck and neck between us," he said. "There haven't been any games where either team's copped a flogging. "It's only been 10 runs here or the last couple of overs there that's been the difference. "It's created a really good rivalry."
Byrne agrees with his opposite number's assessment. "We're as confident as Sawtell would be," he said. "They're always close games between the two teams where whichever team plays better on the day will win."
While the two teams are meeting for the fourth straight year, at Sawtell, first grade grand-final berths have almost become expected rather than hoped for. This weekend will be Sawtell's ninth grand final in the past 11 years. On seven occasions during that streak, the boys in blue and gold have gone home victors.
Andrews isn't so sure such an abundance of experience is that great an advantage. "At Sawtell it's handy we've got so much grand-final experience," he said. "I'd rather we have it than not but, in saying that, it still comes down to what you do on the Saturday and Sunday."
For Byrne, performing on the Saturday and Sunday could come down to something as simple as occupying the crease. "We should get a full game in so this will pretty much be our first two-day game all season," Byrne said. "It will be good to be able to get out there and try to spend some time in the middle, and hopefully we can bat out our 75 overs."
Last wicket stand could prove the difference -28th Mar 2015
IF SAWTELL manages to claim the CHDCA premiership, it may be a 41 run last wicket stand that gets them there. A disciplined bowling performance by Plantation Diggers, Sawtell looked like setting a modest total when they fell to be 9-130. That was before club veteran Chris Neal and Daniel Maguire combined to push the reigning premier's total to a competitive figure. Neal crafted a well compiled unbeaten 31 while Maguire held up an end to reach 14 before being bowled on what was to be the second last ball of the day.
Earlier in the day the contest was about two opposing teenagers. Sawtell opener Liam Watson-Merritt refused to give up his wicket while his partners were falling around him. The under-16s player wasn't dismissed until late in the day having made a very patient 37 to top score for the innings. Meanwhile with the ball Damon Rootes claimed four wickets with his orthodox spin.
As good as the tennage pair was, in what's tipped to be a tight contest, the talking point at the end of the first day's play was the 41 runs for the last wicket. "They'll be very valuable hopefully," Sawtell captain Ben Andrews said. "It's always good to get 150-plus in a grand final."
Despite the late runs, opposite number Alex Byrne is confident Plantation Diggers will still get the coveted prize by the time stumps is called on Sunday afternoon. "The pitch isn't doing much, it's a little bit slow but it's the same deal, if we bat our 75 overs we should make the score a long time before the 75 overs is up," Byrne said. "If we bat smart and we bat our overs out we'll definitely win this."
He would've preferred to be chasing 130 to 140 rather than 171 and admitted the final stand for Sawtell stymied his plans of having a late afternoon bat. He paid particular praise to Neal for his defiant innings. "It's always frustrating when you play against Sawtell and you've got Chris Neal coming in at about number nine," he said. "He's one of their best batsmen and he's coming in down there. You think you're getting through them then you've got Chris coming in."
For Sawtell, the job is only half done and Andrews said as much effort is needed with the ball on Sunday as the team put in with bat on Saturday. "We aimed to bat 75 (overs) and obviously we did that, or close to, so we got our main goal so now it's just come out tomorrow and hopefully take 10 wickets."

ON PAPER it was going to be a tricky run chase but Plantation Diggers made short work of the 172 run target to win the 2014/15 CHDCA first grade grand final. Led by opening batsman Raj Sandhu, Diggers cruised past Sawtell's total to win by seven wickets. Sandhu made an unbeaten 81 and helped lay the platform for victory with opening partner and captain Alex Byrne.
The pair stayed together until the 24th over for an opening stand which produced 63 runs and blunted Sawtell's much vaunted new ball attack. Byrne was full of praise for Sandhu's effort. "He's got a good eye. He looked scratchy early on because he hasn't played of cricket of this quality," Byrne said.
"He went out there though and weathered the storm with the new ball. He started seeing them and started hitting the ball straighter and he was unreal. "At the start I was just saying "keep going" but he was saying "let's be there at the end" and he was."
With this weekend's result going the way of Plantation Diggers, the scoreline between the two teams in grand finals over the past four years is two-all. Byrne encouraged players from both teams to make sure they return to play in the 2015/16 season.
"Best of five? We'll go again next year."
