H.I Cohen Trophy: Noah Croes Dr Bryan’s Fielding Prize: Lachlan Bangs APS Representative: Nick Sparks Batting Award: Noah Croes Noah scored 282 runs at an average of 25.00 Bowling Award: Will Sutherland Will collected 16 wickets at an average of 10.00 2nd XI Cricket (Coach: Mark Rivett) Batting Award: Jonathan Loveridge Our highest run scorer this season, Jonathan provided the team with some handy knocks. When our top order struggled we always knew that Jonathan was the one that always got on the front foot and never let the bowlers dominate him. Bowling Award: Charlie Cormack As our opening bowler and averaging just over 3 runs per over from his total of 59 overs for the season, Charlie always gave us a great start in all of our matches. His consistency with the new ball and his good second spells enabled us to always play good competitive cricket. Coaches Award: James Hermiston A cricketer who lives and breathes the game James is a worthy recipient of this award. Apart from being a very good all‐rounder James was always in good spirits and the real back‐bone of this team. 3rd XI Cricket (Coach: Aidan Franetic) Batting Award: Freddie Osborn Freddie a talented classy right hander had a slow start to the season but found his bearings batting at 4. After the Christmas break Freddie was a stable and reliable batsman who consistently made scores. Freddie made over 160 runs for the season with a high score of 43. Bowling Award: Sam Kerr Sam a medium left arm bowler who was cable of both taking the new ball or coming in at first change. Sam bowled a great line and length taking 8 wickets for the season but also with a great economy rate. Kerr being great with the ball also was very handy with the bat making a few solid scores down in the tail end of the order. Coaches Award: Hugo Carson Hugo was a valued member of the 3rds cricket team and with no keeper at the beginning of the season he took up the role with open arms. Hugo did a mighty fine job behind the stumps and also had a few good spells with the ball, one game taking two wickets in the last over against MGS to draw the game. Hugo was always an enthusiastic trainer providing plenty of energy and spirit. Hugo played for the team batting in various positions whether it was opening or down the order to gives others a go. In the second last game he also retired himself to give others a go. He has a fantastic attitude and always played his role well. Year 10 Cricket 10A Cricket (Coaches: Tim Shearer & Tom Edney) Batting Award: Fraser Morrisby Fraser had a solid season with the bat, highlighted by scores of 55 not out against MGS and 40 against Caulfield Grammar. Fraser scored 182 runs at an average of 20.2 Bowling Award: Jack Wynne Jack had an outstanding season with the ball, bowling consistent lines at good pace. Jack took 16 wickets at 11.8 (economy rate 2.7 runs per over). Coaches Award: James Gray James had a solid all round season, making 139 runs at 13.9 and bowling consistently to take 9 wickets at 25.3 off 74 overs. 10B Cricket (Coach: Mack Rivett) Batting Award: Jonty Lupson Jonty had a fantastic year and is very deserving of this award. He was an extremely reliable player and was captain on numerous times. Jonty was constantly keeping the A’s players on their toes with scoring runs week in and week out. Jonty’s batting highlight was definitely his 50 not out against Xavier. Solid scores kept coming from Jonty with a 35 against Carey, 33, 19 against St Kevin’s College and a 43 after being retired 35 not out. Jonty was a pleasure to coach and watch play his shots from the sideline. I wish him all the best with his cricket in the future. Bowling Award: Howie Japp Howie had a solid year with the ball. His highlight for me was definitely his 3/8 off 6 overs against Xavier. He continuously troubled batsmen with his medium pace in‐swingers. Howie was a pleasure to coach and was rewarded a couple of times with captaining the side. He very much deserves this award as he constantly pressured the bowlers of the A’s for a spot. To his credit he had the opportunity to play 10A cricket and he took it with both hands and performed well. Howie bowled tremendously well against Melbourne Grammar during the year with figures of 3/14 off only 4 overs. I wish Howie all the best with his cricket in the future. Coaches Award: Toby Nixon Toby had a fantastic season of cricket, he was constantly putting pressure on the B team players I when he was playing in the C team and also the A team players when he was playing in the B team. If the season was a bit longer, I am sure he would have been very close to playing A’s. He was damaging with the bat and the ball in his hand. He is an extremely competitive person, which I believe his year level lacks. Toby scored a very quick 35n.o against Carey and a solid 22. He also impressed with the ball having figures of 3/6 off 4 overs and 1/3 off 5 overs. I am sure Toby will continue to impress with his cricket over the next few years and I wish him all the best. 10C Cricket (Coaches: Tim Barnett & Richard Blandford) Batting Award: Leighton Rogers Leighton’s compact batting and solid wicket‐keeping were integral to the 10Cs’ successes this season. The reliability and consistency of Leighton’s performances made him invaluable to the side. He should be encouraged to pursue cricket next year in the open grade. Leighton is a well‐deserved winner of the batting award. Bowling Award: Luke Smith Luke was an invaluable asset to the side, whose consistent performances with both bat and ball led to numerous team successes. His enthusiasm in the field was of great encouragement to his teammates also. Performing captaincy duties in the second half of the season, Luke made admirable contributions to the 10C side. He is a well‐deserved winner of the bowling award. Coaches Award: Toby Nixon Toby was a standout performer in the 10C side this year. His consistent performances with both bat and ball made him invaluable to the team. Toby was a well‐deserved winner of the coach’s award. He has bright cricketing future ahead of him in the open grade. Year 9 Cricket 9A Cricket (Coach: Gene van den Broek) Batting Award: Hamish Johnston Hamish batted in a variety of positions for the 9A side this year. He made a total of 181 runs in 8 innings for an average of 36.2 with a top score of 52 not out. Most impressive was the value that Hamish put on his wicket every innings. If Hamish was dismissed, it was because the bowler bowled a very good ball. Bowling Award: Will Lovell Will opened the bowling for the 9A side this year. He bowled a total of 59 overs in 10 games, took 15 wickets and conceded just 131 runs for an average of 8.73. Most impressive was the way that Will was consistently challenging the batsmen by bowling the ball on the stumps. Coaches Award: Henry Fyfe Henry genuinely has a “WE” not “ME” focus, which is so important in any team sport. In addition to this, he always gave his best effort and full attention to whatever challenges were presented to him over the course of the season. 9B Cricket (Coach: Hayden Tilbrook) Batting Award: Jack Bielby The batting award was between two boys this year who both made a lot of runs. Honourable mention to Eddie Hogg who made 189 runs at an average of 37.5. The award goes to Jack Bielby, who led the team as captain and with the bat, constantly top scoring. Jack finished the season with 228 runs at an average of 57 and was far too good for most opposition bowlers. Bowling Award: Samuel Davis The bowling award was a similar two horse race and was incredibly tight, with our two leg spinners doing the damage all year. Honourable mention to Charlie Veitch who could tear any order apart and finished the season with 12 wickets. Davo took 13 wickets and improved out of sight throughout the season as he kept getting better, highlighted by his three wicket haul in tough conditions in the last game. Coaches Award: Charlie Veitch An easy decision, Veitchy is an absolute gun and a great bloke to coach. Arguably our most important player, Veitchy could turn games on their heads with his incredible variation of deliveries that undid so many batsmen through the year. Surely one of the best young leg spinners at the school, his great attitude and character mean Charlie is destined for great things. 9C Cricket (Coach: Kenny Tran) Batting Award: William McAllister William had a sensational season despite an injury putting him on the sidelines for a couple of weeks. William totalled a sensational 173 runs at an average of 57.67 from 7 innings displaying a high cricket IQ, picking the gaps and running hard, whilst putting away the bad balls when they came.
