Hillgrove Colts Cricket Club – 2016/17 Little Dougie's Mate 2010/11 Hillgrove Colts Cricket Club – 2016/17 Little Dougie’s Mate 2010/11 2016/17 Hillgrove Committee President – Mike Stace Vice President – Matt Baillie & Nick Sewell Secretary – Kris Croft Treasurer – Matt Schaefer Junior Co-Ordinator – Ian Reeves Registrar – Brian Parsons 2016/17 – President’s Report As we farewell another enjoyable and successful cricket season, I think it is timely to reflect on why it is we play cricket in the first place? For most of us, the opportunity to play cricket with our mates on a Saturday morning and to strive to do our best week after week, and of course to have FUN are surely the reasons why we return each spring in freshly pressed whites. I am confident season 2016/17 has fulfilled those goals for all our Hillgrove juniors. A big congratulations must go to the Hillgrove Under 14s team which were named Premiers for this season playing some wonderful cricket along the way. The Under 16s just missed the Final but had a successful season after combining with CSC where they gelled well as a team and new friendships were made. Several of our Under 16s players also played Senior cricket for the Club and have contributed strongly to the senior team’s successes. The Under 12s and our younger cricketers including our first time Milo cricketers all performed well and played in the true spirit of cricket. It is such a thrill when a young cricketer takes their first wicket, hits their first four or takes their first ever catch. Well done to all! Congratulations to all our juniors who played representative cricket throughout the season, there are too many to name but you have made the Hillgrove family very proud with your achievements. To all the coaches & managers of each team, I thank you whole heartedly on behalf of the Club and all the parents for your commitment to your teams. To the parents who volunteered to umpire or score each week, a big thank you. I encourage more parents to do an umpire or scoring course, which the district association put on each year to upskill and assist your child’s team next season. A big thank you must also go to our loyal sponsors for their ongoing support of our Club and whom without their support the club could not operate. Finally a massive thank you to Ian Reeves for all he has done to ensure Hillgrove juniors are on the field and fully kitted out each week. Yours in cricket. Mike Stace 2016/17 - Hillgrove Junior Report Congratulations to all players, parents and supporters on another successful junior cricket season. This season Hillgrove entered teams in the Under 9s, Under 12s (two teams), Under 14s and a combined Under 16s side with CSC. Even though only the Under 14s made it to the grand final, and were named premiers, all teams performed admirably, showing improvement in their skills and performances as the season progressed. I would like to congratulate and thank our coaches for a great season, encouraging every single player to achieve their best and enjoy this great game with their team mates. Thanks also to the parents who have assisted in some way throughout the season, from scoring to umpiring, to just being there to see your child achieve. It is difficult to run a sporting club without the support of sponsorship. We are very grateful to the support of The Armidale City Bowling Club, Grand Hotel and Local Search for their financial assistance throughout the year. Young cricketers today have the opportunity to pursue their cricket at various levels. This year Hillgrove had a large number of players represent their club, association and region.

Ian Reeves 2016/17 Hillgrove Coaches The Hillgrove Committee especially wish to thank all the Coaches of Junior teams for their time & dedication to our kids and also a big thanks to those parents who score, umpire and generally help out every weekend. Hillgrove U9’s – Chris Jordan Hillgrove U12 Brumbies – Iestyn Taylor Hillgrove U12 Colts – Daniel Grimsley Mark Conroy Hillgrove U14 – Jerome Simpson Greg Johnson Hillgrove/CSC U16 – Michael Lord 2016/17 – Under 9’s Team: Jahluka Flint, Ben Jordan, Aaroha Gautam , Ollie Sawyer, Nathan Smith, Charlie Piddington, Bella Waters, Aykila Evans and Danekia Smith, Absent: Hallam Weeks, Will Jordan Coach: Chris Jordan Hillgrove U9 – Report Like many parents with under 9 players, this was the first year that we spent Saturday mornings during the summer period, getting kids ready in their cricket whites and heading down to the Rolagas fields. As coach of the under 9’s for the 2016/17 season, it was a wonderful way to spend the last 16 weeks. It was a pleasure to have been involved with such a wonderful bunch of kids (and their parents of course). While we did not keep score, I would comfortable say the team would have won the majority of their games. I want to firstly thank the parents for their time, efforts and commitment each Saturday and training sessions on Monday afternoons, especially when I have been unable to be there. Training had been spent on the basics. Firstly, that “catches win matches”. We worked on the kids catching skills. If they dropped a ball they had to run to the toilets and back. It paid off with seeing some great catches during the season. Then we worked on bowling basics, straight arm- past the ear and follow through. Each kid worked on his or her own abilities and styles. Finally, over the final month, we worked on front and back foot batting, seeing some great cricket shots – shots people pay money to see. We also spent time learning to slide the bat over the crease line. Ben Jordan- Has enjoyed his first year playing. He has been keen as mustard each week. I still remember the phone call when I was away one weekend cheering with delight telling me about his first catch (two actually)! Good season Ben. Will Jordan- Joined us for a few games after dropping down from under 12’s with the absence of a under 10’s team. He tried his little heart out, determined to get everything right. He decided to chase different interests after the school holidays. Ollie Sawyer- Has been a delight this season. His cricket ability has really blossomed. Week 15, when he was Captain, was the season’s standout performance. Great bowling & batting. It’s going to be great to see his potential in the next few years. Keep it going Ollie! Nathan Smith- Has great determination to play and he too has been a delight to coach this season. Has great potential to be a great player. He is keen to smack the cover off the ball with every delivery and is keen to learn the art of spin. Great season Nathan. Daneka Smith- The teams “pocket rocket”. The keenest player in the team and never wants the match or training to end. She reminds me every over, “Is it my turn to bowl… can I be wicket keeper…is it my turn to bat”. Well done Daneka, ! Akiylah Evans- Our little fashion Queen with those cool sunnies! Turning up each and every week, she has worked well on her bowling and getting the basics down pat. It was a pleasure having you part of the team Akiylah! Hallam Weeks- Has shown real progress with his cricket abilities this season, it was a pleasure to have you part of the team. Hallem left the team at the start of 2017. Well done Hal, you were a pleasure to have on the team. Isabella Waters- a true “Belle” of the team always plays with a smile. She demonstrates being keen and tries with all her heart each game. She is a delight to have on the team- especially when all those boys muck up!! Charlie PIDDINGTON- joined us later in the season and has played a few games with the team. He has a natural ability with great eyeball coordination, with the potential to be a wonderful cricket player. Keep playing Charlie. Simon Grimsley- Our left-handed speedster, bowling full pitch deliveries.

    Hillgrove Colts Cricket Club Club Champions since 2008-09 Dougie’s Mate 2015/16 2015/16 - Hillgrove Committee President – Tony Jones Vice President – Nick Sewell Secretary – Kris Croft Treasurer – Matt Schaefer Junior Co-Ordinator – Ian Reeves Registrar/Recorder – Brian Parsons Public Officer – Kris Croft Chairman of Selectors – Ian Reeves Hillgrove Colts Cricket Club: Proudly Sponsored By 2015/16 - President’s Report Congratulations to everyone in the club. Another Club Championship can only be achieved with significant contributions from all players in every team! Four finalists from four teams, three minor premierships and two premierships pretty well sums up our success on the field this season. A return to the top step for second grade, defending 112 in the grand-final was just reward for an excellent season. An inaugural win for the third grade Brumbies, defending 102 in the grand-final, after a few seasons building this team, was also well deserved. Another grand-final for first grade, after going straight through after securing the minor premiership, unfortunately beaten in the final game but not without a fight and a never say die attitude. Finally a semi-final for the third grade Colts, who were disappointed not to go further, but with a significant change in personnel should be pleased with making it to the finals in a pretty tough competition. As I said it takes contributions from everyone in the club to achieve the type of successes that we have achieved on the field over many seasons. I must, however, thank certain individuals for their efforts. Thanks to the captains, Kingy, Sewelly, Sharmo and TB, for getting their ‘troops’ organised each and every week.

I also wish to thank all those parents and helpers who enabled our kids to get out and participate in the wonderful game of cricket. Whilst we had no teams winning competitions this year, I don’t believe this is a single measure of success. It may feel nice to take home a trophy, however, I believe it is nicer to be part of a team, develop new skills and possibly form lifetime friendships and memories. With any luck we may also be able to add some premierships next season! Hillgrove Colts Cricket Club continues to provide opportunities for boys and girls of all ages and also supports those players starting to move into senior cricket. I hope that we see some of our new players to the club this year continuing with us over the years and one day also joining our senior teams, just like eight of our Under 16s this year who also played some, or all, of the senior season as well. I am proud of the effort our club puts into nurturing our junior players and I believe this is one major reason our senior teams continue to perform so well in their competitions.

  • A HISTORY of CLUB CRICKET in COUNTY DURHAM Chapter One
    A HISTORY OF CLUB CRICKET IN COUNTY DURHAM Chapter One..........The eighteenth century In the beginning The first recorded cricket match in Durham was at Raby Castle in 1751. It was five years after the Duke of Cumberland and bayoneted Redcoats slogged through the county’s mud on their way to the Battle of Culloden. Defoe’s account of his travels through Great Britain had not long been published. Defoe found nothing remarkable in Darlington or Chester-le-Street except “dirt” but was impressed by Lumley Castle and acknowledged Lumley coal the best in the country. He thought Durham a “compact neatly contriv’d city” where clergy lived “in all the splendour and magnificence imaginable”. Durham cathedral and Saint Cuthbert’s remains were a shrine for pilgrims but the city was a vulnerable haven riding on a cut-throat sea. The poor lived in slums; the populace was prey to vagabonds, footpads and highwaymen. The Bishop of Durham bewailed “the scorn of religion”. His flock scratched a living on the land or burrowed beneath it for lead and coal; their leisure centred upon drinking and blood sports like cock-fighting. In 1742 John Wesley came across a village “inhabited by colliers only, and as such had been always in the first rank for savage ignorance, and wickedness of every kind. Their grand assembly used to be on the Lord’s Day on which men, women and children met together to dance, fight, curse, and swear, and play chuck-ball, span farthing, or whatever came to hand.” Somehow, sometime the game of cricket took root in these parts.
