Burnside West Christchurch University Cricket Club 3 Estate George James Howden George Howden, a Life Member and long-time supporter, died in 2007 and in his Will he left the Club a generous bequest of $20,000. He also instructed Trustees Executors Ltd to set up a Deed of Arrangement to utilise the “residual” funds from his Estate, and invest them to provide a long-term income stream for our Club. The Estate was registered as a charitable entity by the Charities Commission on 30 June 2008. The Club at all times needs to be aware that the initial bequest and all subsequent income generated under the Deed may only be utilised by the Club for the following purposes: (a) The provision of coaching services at all grades; (b) the maintenance, upkeep and improvement of the grounds upon which the Club’s activities are centred or take place; (c) the provision of or improvement to the facilities and amenities of the Club, and (d) the general betterment of the Club as a whole, and the promotion of its interests. To ensure the income is so paid or applied in accordance with the terms of the Trust, it is a requirement that at all times there is an Advisory Committee of three persons who must give prior approval. Upon the death, retirement, resignation or removal from the office of any Advisory Committee member, the remaining two members will appoint another suitable person to fill the vacancy. The Advisory Committee shall make such rules and regulations to govern its functioning as it may determine and any such rules or regulations may from time to time be revoked, amended, replaced or modified with the unanimous approval of all Advisory Committee members. The first persons to hold office are Graham Thorne Dowling, Brian Charles Adams and Grant James Dickson. They, in conjunction with Trustees Executors, have, since 27 November 2009, embarked on a “conservative growth portfolio” strategy that both parties believe is in the best long term interests of the Club. At each balance date, annual accounts are prepared by Trustees Executors, and, once approved by the Advisory Committee, the net income, after setting aside an agreed percentage to add to the Trust Capital, shall be paid to the Club by Trustees Executors Ltd.

Adoption of Annual Report and Balance Sheet Pg 11. Correction of spelling: . V J McKibbon Memorial. John Thompson presented the financial report and balance sheet in place of Treasurer Peter Vorster who was overseas. He noted the following: • Last year a lot of renovation work was carried out on the pavilion. This was paid for out of the current account and the club did not have to acquire a loan or go into overdraft for this work to be completed;

6 Burnside West Christchurch University Cricket Club • The collection for subscriptions was better than the previous year; • Bar sales were down as in the past some of the recording of accounts has not been as accurate as wished. This may be partially due to the earthquake events that occurred during the 2010/2011 season. Brian Hastings enquired about item 6 of the Notes to the Financial Accounts entitled Going Concern and asked whether the final paragraph inferred that some charity funding may not have been received. John Thompson replied that this was not the case. Brian Hastings replied that he was pleased to see the club doing well financially. John Thompson commended Peter Burke on achieving the current level of funding that the club currently receives and the time it takes Peter to arrange this, including finalising the paperwork. Tony Feely commented that is was good to see that insurance costs reduced. This may change this year due to the recent earthquakes. Peter Burke moved that the Annual Report and Annual Accounts be adopted. This was seconded by Grant Dickson. Carried. Graham Dowling noted that the Annual Report should be numbered. This is the 106th Annual General Meeting of the Club. This needs to be kept current for club records.

Membership Subscriptions Proposed membership subscription levels are: • If paid by 26 November 2011: Student $190, Senior Woman $190, Senior Man $280, Senior Team $2600 • If paid after 26 November 2011: $240, $240, $350, $3200 • Honorary Members $30 Paul O’Flaherty gave the reasons there has been an increase in the subscription levels: the club pavilion has been out of action due to the earthquakes, resulting in a low bar turnover, and there has been an in increase in GST of 2.5% It was moved by John Thompson and seconded by Peter Burke that subscriptions be set as proposed. Carried.

General Discussion John Thompson gave an overview of the senior coaching situation from last season. John said that the club owes a debt of gratitude to Premier captain Ryan Cutts for stepping into the breach when the club found itself without a Premier coach just as the season began. This season Brendon Donkers has been appointed after a comprehensive process.

Burnside West Christchurch University Cricket Club 7 John noted that block renovation work was not able to be carried out due to a lack of soil in the post-earthquake environment. However, three out of four blocks have been renovated and the club is currently a month ahead in preparation of pitches. This sets the club up for a positive start to the season, with a good coach and good tracks. John also advised that there has been a change of direction with ground staff. Nook Ebert is no longer with the club as groundsman, due to other job commitments. John will be training Carl Huyser in preparation of practice and playing facilities. Carl will begin when he arrives back from overseas.

Election of Officers John Thompson nominated Graham Dowling as Club Patron. Seconded by Bryce McKenzie. Carried. John advised that he will be stepping down from the role of Chairman and nominated Paul O’Flaherty for the position. Seconded Grant Dickson. Carried.

8 Burnside West Christchurch University Cricket Club General Business Bryce McKenzie enquired if any businesses were wanting to use the pavilion as post-earthquake accommodation. Paul O’Flaherty replied that there was interest, but that the building is yellow-stickered due to cracking in the away dressing room wall. This could be superficial but Opus are not yet not able to confirm if the building is safe. The current situation is that the club is negotiating with the insurance company as to whether it will pay for another inspection. If there is no damage found then the club can progress to having the building signed off as safe. If there is damage, the process will be longer. Paul is currently looking for drawings of the building. There is a contents claim in process for a number of items in the bar and kitchen areas. If we cannot access the building by the beginning of the season, discussions are underway with the CCA about their helping to provide a portacom for scoring and facilities for changing. Grant Dickson enquired as to the level of insurance in the event of another earthquake or other events. This is currently been looked into by Ashley Taggart. It was noted that we have two other ownership parties to liaise with – the Christchurch City Council and the FC2011 Football club. Tony Feely commented that it was good to see the statistics in the Annual Report including the missed previous season’s statistics. Paul O’Flaherty thanked John Thompson for his taking on the Chairman’s role when the club was in a precarious position. He acknowledged John’s leadership and dedication to the club over the years in a many roles. Graham Dowling also acknowledged John’s service to the club in a variety of areas, as can be seen by the many mentions he has in the Annual Report. Graham also noted the connection that John has provided between the CCA and the club. A presentation was made in appreciation of John’s contribution. John made a short speech in response.

Burnside West Christchurch University Cricket Club 9 Obituaries

PETER SHARP The voice of Canterbury cricket for over 40 years, Peter Sharp, died in Christchurch on February 18, 2012 at the age of 72. After graduating from Otago University with a Masters degree in Geography, Peter moved to Christchurch in 1962 to train as a teacher. After qualifying he took up a position at Linwood High School and joined the West Christchurch Cricket Club. Peter had previously played representative cricket in and Invercargill and quickly made his mark in the senior team. A half season in 1962/63, when he took ten at 16, was followed the next year with 60 wickets at 14 which made Peter the leading taker in senior cricket. A regular member of the team until the 1979/80 season Peter played 112 senior matches and set club records with 549 wickets and 21,941 balls. He was the leading senior club wicket taker on two other occasions, in 1968/69 with 53 wickets at 11.9 and in 1970/71 with 62 wickets at 12.1. He had particular success against Old Collegians and in January, 1965, playing on Hagley One, an outright victory was achieved in one day with Peter taking five for 0 and six for 38. In the 1968/69 season he had figures of eight for 19 and eight for 43 to demolish their which left West to score 62 runs for victory. A batting collapse meant that Peter coming in at nine had to score the winning . As captain of the senior team for three years from 1967/68 he had an outstanding record with two grade victories and a second placing in 1968/69. Peter was an outstanding captain, he set high standards and his team talks were precise. He knew the strengths and weaknesses of most senior cricketers and one had to be awake in the field as changes were made frequently for each new batsman. He was calm and composed on the field but off the field could be quite blunt on where we needed to improve. In the book on the 75th history of the club, he contributed an essay on the senior team of the 1960s. What he wrote was perfect, capturing in a brilliant and humorous essay many warm and lovely anecdotes of a period in the club’s history when we were very successful. That senior team would have been without doubt one of the great club teams that ever played in New Zealand with ten first class players and five who had played international cricket. Peter made his first class debut with the victorious Canterbury team of 1964/65 and over two seasons he took 21 first class wickets at 26.90. But a closer look at his bowling figures show that his economy rate was outstanding, being under two runs per over. However by 1966 left arm spinner Aucklander John McIntyre had moved to Christchurch and had replaced him in the team. So

10 Burnside West Christchurch University Cricket Club in 1966 Peter began his broadcasting career, a career he was well suited to with his knowledge, his passion and love for the sport and an ability to describe in detail the state and nuances of a game. Although Peter may have been better known to younger people as a commentator he was from very early times heavily involved in coaching and administration. With the NZC National coach, Martin Horton, he helped to set up a network of national coaches; he convened the coaching programme of the CCA from 1980 and in 1985 he established Canta Cricket. Peter became a level three coach in 1984. Peter was a member of the West Christchurch club committee before becoming a member of the CCA for over 20 years. He was a Canterbury selector for three years from 1974/75 working with Ian Cromb and John Grocott and had particular success in 1975/76 when all three provincial titles were won. He stood down from that position when the CCA decided that commentating and selectorial duties were not compatible. Peter had two periods as president of the CCA from 1991/92 to 1992/93 and from 2006/07 to 2009/10. He was on the Victory Park Board and the Board of NZ Cricket for nine years, a trustee of the Murray Halberg Trust and on the Hillary Commission. He was awarded the Sutcliffe Medal by NZ Cricket in 2006 for a lifetime service to cricket. For many years until his retirement he was the executive director of the NZ Secondary School Sports Council and travelled widely being totally immersed in creating excellent sport programmes for all schools in New Zealand. Throughout his life Peter was well supported by his wife Sandra and his three sons. In the early club days, Sandra organised the ladies on afternoon tea duties and later would always be at Lancaster Park with her boys who, as they got older, started on scoreboard duties before graduating to working in the dressing rooms. Peter was a wonderful wordsmith and had an eagle eye for detail that we all admired. He never dominated discussion at Board meetings but when he spoke we all listened. He had the commendable attribute to be able to get to the crux of the debate and, in a few carefully chosen words, he would be able to bring the discussion back to the key areas. Whenever we were struggling to formulate a resolution it was always Peter who we turned to and he would quickly come back with an improved choice of words. Peter was always great company, particularly when he was barbecuing with a glass of red wine in one hand and jazz music playing in the background. He had a very full and successful life, living it to the utmost. He was admired, he was respected, he had a wide range of interests and we all enjoyed talking with him on all types of subjects. He will be greatly missed.

Burnside West Christchurch University Cricket Club 11 RALPH BYRNE Ralph Byrne, who died in Auckland on March 16, 2012, was one of the many Aucklanders in the 1960s who joined the club when they were transferred by their company to Christchurch. He quickly made his mark in second grade as a lively, left arm medium pace bowler, an aggressive batsman and an occasional wicketkeeper. When the international players were absent from the senior team Ralph was a very effective replacement and between 1964 and 1973 he played 20 first grade two-day matches and scored 652 runs at 19, his highest score was 61. A very safe fieldsman, in those 20 matches he took 14 catches. However his greatest contribution to the senior team came in the 1970/71 season when playing in the semi-final of the 50 over knockout competition. He scored 103 in 112 minutes against Sydenham. West went on to make 254 for seven, winning the game and also the final. His impact within the second grade was immense and he captained the team to a grade victory in 1967/68 and three years later when the team again won the grade, he had his most successful season scoring 359 runs at 40. On the administrative side, Ralph was extremely active and was somewhat ahead of his time in advocating a move out of . As club captain in November, 1966 he promoted the concept of the club leaving the Oval and becoming based at the Ilam grounds as a closed University cricket club. Initially approved at a special meeting in February 1967 it was later overturned at the annual meeting in August that year by those who did not support the closed club concept but certainly supported moving off the Oval. The move away from Hagley was finally made in September 1972. In 1974 Ralph returned to Auckland and continued to play the game he loved so much in the social grades. He also continued to play social rugby before later taking up bowls and yachting. Ralph attended the club’s 75th jubilee celebrations in 1980 and took a great deal of pleasure in observing the manner in which the small Hagley club had become a very prominent and large suburban entity. At the conclusion of the jubilee he donated two cups and asked that they be awarded to the best batsman and best bowler in the afternoon grades. An enthusiast on and off the field with a whole hearted approach to any game he was involved in, Ralph was a great companion who mixed well and could talk sport all night. He made a substantial contribution to the club in a time in its history when it was struggling to decide its future. Brian Adams

Burnside West Christchurch University Cricket Club 21 CHAIRMAN’S REPORT Last season came to an abrupt halt on 22 February 2011. Prior to that, our cricket fortunes had been mixed, with a young Premier team struggling after the sudden pre-season departure of its coach. To finish this season with a club in good spirits and financial health, a Premier team that had shown marked improvement and much potential, two other teams that won their grades, and our first Black Cap in many years, is testament to the hard work and talent of many people. In fact, the progress the club has made can be gauged by the number of people who, by season’s end, were rueing the Premier team’s coming so close to securing the Two Day Competition title, only to have it slip away in the last round. Expectations leading into the summer, while optimistic, were somewhat lower than that. We were all very proud when Tom Latham was selected to play for New Zealand against the touring Black Caps side. As Peter Burke mentions in his Junior report, Tom has risen through the ranks at the club. We have had the opportunity over many years to admire the skills that we know will make him an excellent Black Cap. Congratulations Tom. This season we had nine senior teams, six junior teams, an ever-strong Friday night programme, and a University cricket competition. A big congratulations to our two grade-winning teams. The Whangaparaoa Cannons Pony Club – known for obvious reasons just as “The Cannons” – took out the 3B grade. This was a testing competition of twelve teams playing of 18 rounds, culminating in a semi-final and final. It therefore always produces a deserving winner, none more-so than this organised and tight team, managed and captained by the passionate Chris Peters. Our Women’s team had a comprehensive win in the T20 Social grade, having wrapped up the competition before the last day of the season. Congratulations to Ange Dennett, Rob Noster and the team for an excellent season – they were the stand-out team in the grade. After we were fortunate enough to recruit Brendon Donkers as Premier coach, we talked about a three year plan to have the best Premier side in Christchurch. We have come further than anticipated in the first year, as illustrated by this table: 2010-11 2011-12 Two Day Competition 5th 3rd One Day Competition 9th 5th T20 Competition 4th (in section) 3rd equal (overall)

22 Burnside West Christchurch University Cricket Club In the both the one and two-day competitions, especially the latter, the team was challenging for first place right into the last stages, especially in the longer form of the game. This improvement is testament to the planning that Brendon, Tom Latham, Matt Tarrant and Ashley Taggart have done, and the efforts of the lads. It was especially pleasing to see high standards in all areas including team and personal accountability, and a drive for consistency. We look forward to what is a promising and exciting next season. Thanks to those who captained our nine senior teams: Brett Thomson, Peter McInnes, Jordan Merito, Tom O’Flaherty, Chris Peters, Regan Wilson, Prakash Barot, Rob Hoysted, David Robertson, Shane Young, Hamish Kember, and Ange Dennett. A special mention to Shane Young for organising a very successful reunion of the 1990/91 Premier team. Carl Huyser started the season as assistant groundsman but had to take over completely pre-Christmas and for the rest of the season when John Thompson was indisposed. Carl made this a seamless transition and carried out this vital role with no fuss and to a high standard. Thanks Carl. Tony Feely, who has been club scorer since 1979/80, again provided great service to the Premier team, and is responsible for the Premier statistics in this report. This season we tried to connect a little more with the broader membership and Friends of the Club, many of whose sterling efforts over the years have made the club what it is today. We held a couple of small but successful functions on a Saturday afternoon and it was good to see some old friends catching up while watching a few overs. We also instituted a weekly email newsletter which was well-received. My thanks to all the weekly contributors. It was fun reading your reports. Thanks to Phil McCormack and Tom O’Flaherty for their efforts in getting a University 15/15 cricket competition up and running on Ilam Fields on a Monday night. The students enjoyed themselves and the club recruited some additional Saturday players as a result. The club is fortunate to have a committed and skilled committee. I was fortunate to take over from John Thompson as Chairman. John hands over a club that has a sound financial base, a solid membership base and a clear sense of direction. The good news is that we will still have him on the committee, providing wise advice, ensuring that the quality of our decks is as good as ever, overseeing the maintenance of the pavilion and coaxing our grounds machinery through another season.

Burnside West Christchurch University Cricket Club 23 Peter Burke is a master at raising funds and has had a huge hand – along with a more assertive approach to subscription collection – in the healthy financial result this year. Peter also continues to organise our excellent junior programme. Club captain Ashley Taggart and Brett Thomson play an important role behind the scenes putting teams on the park each week, an often challenging task. Lee McKenzie is our secretary and also jointly, with the Merivale-Papanui Cricket Club, runs North-West Youth Cricket. We are very proud of our connection with NWYC, our youth club. Peter Vorster, as well as being a stalwart of the Premier team, was our Treasurer. Peter left us at the end of the season to take up a job in Wellington, and we wish him well. Doug Allcock assumes the role of Treasurer and we welcome him to the committee. Alan Alty’s knowledge of the history and the past members of the club, and his ability to connect with them, was invaluable, and also resulted in a fifty percent increase in our honorary memberships. Thanks also to Women’s Club Captain Ange Dennett, Rob Noster, Peter McInnes, and Steve McKean for serving on our committee. Lastly, thanks to the wives, husbands, partners and families of our players, coaches and committee members. Without your contributions, patience and forbearance, this club would not be possible. Paul O’Flaherty

24 Burnside West Christchurch University Cricket Club The year ended GROUNDS AND MACHINERY REPORT with this scribe ending up flat on his back after failing rather spectacularly to negotiate a set of stairs at his home. Spending some ten weeks on one’s back is not a recommendation for anyone! Your club this year employed Carl Huyser to prepare our playing wickets which in the main played very well, with consistency in both bounce and carry, enabling good batting to prosper and bowlers having to think batsmen out without having the vagaries of unevenness to contend with. All four blocks have had good repair work done in our off season with particular attention to blocks 1 and 4. Help from the CCA under the supervision of Chris Lewis will ensure these blocks are up to good senior standard. Our practice block withstood the rigours of constant use and should play consistently this coming season. All blocks have had a healthy application of seed, soil and fertilizer and, given a good growing spring, should scrub up well. Our machinery continues to pose minor problems as some are past their retirement age. However finding suitable replacements inside our budget restraints creates on-going problems. The club has three reel mowers, all in good working order, used to remove grass at various heights, two rollers held together with luck and tender care, a scarifyer in good shape, a driller/corer that works well if used at the right time, a new seeder and, last but not least, a line marker (old) and a rotary mower for attaching the block surrounds. All this equipment and block maintenance requires monies to maintain so perhaps when the question of subscriptions is raised, spare a thought to all of the above. Have a good and enjoyable forthcoming season. I will no doubt see most of you around the grounds this year. J. F. Thompson (Convenor)

26 Burnside West Christchurch University Cricket Club Planning for the upcoming season began PREMIER GRADE early, with the major job on the list to attain a high-quality coach who could get BWCUCC playing to its potential. We didn’t know how lucky we were at the time to acquire the services of Brendon Donkers. Right from the start he showed he was a meticulous planner and challenged the boys straight off the bat with fitness sessions and a thorough pre-season plan. We also gained the experience of an overseas professional from Durham, England in Ben Raine and who came down to Christchurch from Central Districts. One-day Competition The early part of the season was dominated by weather with two out of the first four weeks abandoned without a ball being bowled. We followed up a good first up win against Marist-Harewood with a close loss to Riccarton, which was one we really should have got up and won. Unlike previous seasons, lessons were learnt from the loss and we went on to win our next three games against St Albans, (the eventual Senior One-Day Competition Winners), Lancaster Park Woolston and Canterbury Country. All three games came down to key moments and for once players were taking it on themselves to stand up and take the game by the scruff of the neck. Highlights were Scott Inglis taking 4-20 against St Albans, the evergreen Mark Harding’s great all round performance against Lancaster Park Woolston, taking 26-6 as well as finishing the game off with 40 , and Ben Raine scoring 59 against Country. It was there our one-day campaign lost momentum. Coming up against lowly- placed Old Boys Collegians, we lost convincingly. We followed this with a loss to the Canterbury Under-20 side in a must win game. Those two losses dropped us from second on the table to fifth and we missed the semi-finals by one point. Two-day Competition The start of the two-day competition saw the team refocused and ready to rectify the errors that had halted our one-day hopes. We started off positively against East- Shirley, dismissing them cheaply thanks to a fantastic display of aggressive from Scott Inglis where he took 5-85 off 17 overs. We were unable to put the foot on the throat with the bat, but still gained first at the end of day one. Day two was sadly abandoned due to rain and we were unable to push for further points. The Christmas break saw the team come back and build on the performance against Easts with a dominant display against Marist-Harewood for an outright win. The following week we were unable to back up the good work against Sydenham. They managed to claim first innings points, but only just, thanks to

Burnside West Christchurch University Cricket Club 27 a fantastic display of leg spin bowling by Alex Reese, taking his first five-wicket haul for the club. This left us a tricky 60 minute session which turned out to be a season defining moment, losing five wickets for not many and virtually gifting the game to Sydenham. Consistency from week to week was becoming an issue and we desperately didn’t want to see our promising start to the two-day competition fall away like our one-day efforts. What followed was a convincing outright win against Lancaster Park Woolston and a great first innings effort against eventual winners St Albans, only for the second day of the game to again be ruined by rain. What followed was our stand-out performance of the season against the then table- topping Old Boys Collegians. We were dominant with both ball and bat for a ten wicket victory, topped off with an outstanding partnership on the final afternoon between Mark Harding (107*) and Scott Paulin (48*). Thanks to this dominant victory we were top of the table with one round to go. Our final game against Riccarton didn’t go to plan, after losing a critical toss and getting put in on a green Burnside wicket. We were always chasing the game and unable to get the points required to win the competition and ended up finishing the season in third place. This season saw three players making representative teams. made his Central Stags debut, as well as captaining the New Zealand Under-19 team in a Quadrangular Series in Townsville against Australia, England and India. George Worker represented the Wizards in all three formats, which included bringing up his maiden first-class . And Tom Latham also represented the Wizards in all three formats as well as making his international debut for the Black Caps against Zimbabwe. I would like to thank all the players for their support in my first season as captain and Brendon Donkers who made my job so much easier. Matt Farrant (Senior Captain)

Burnside West Christchurch University Cricket Club 35 Second Grade 2A

I became the 2A captain after the Christmas break due to the then captain, Jordie Merito, vacating the role as a consequence of a season-ending shoulder injury. In the one-day competition the team failed to make the semi-finals, finishing fifth. This result was disappointing given that we were the defending champions from the prior season. To achieve the double header would have been great and was not beyond the team. This result must be used as motivation for the season coming. In the two-day competition we finished fourth which was a respectable placing, but again one to be improved on. Tom Batty, Adam Gillett, Chris Anderson, Mark Bassett and I were the most consistent performers with the bat. Tom scored his maiden century for the club and finished with an average of over 50. It was pleasing to have three new young players in Ben Laughton, Mike Allcock and Jason McKenzie joining the team after Christmas. Both Ben and Mike made their first grade debuts during the season and represent a new wave of young batsmen entering the club. I look forward to these two players scoring heavily during the coming season and creating pressure on the incumbent first grade batsman. Jason McKenzie fulfilled the position of part-time wicket-keeper admirably and his efforts in this regard were well appreciated. Jason has considerable potential as a medium pace bowler and I look forward to his development in this role during the coming season. Our bowling unit was again led by Alex Cotton and Gareth Gibson, with Alex finishing with over 40 wickets for the season. Alex continues to develop with each season and when given the opportunity in first grade he performs well. Our fielding unit was enthusiastic but at times we failed to maintain pressure on the opposition. To correct this we will need to be more responsible in respect of our attendance at trainings, which I am focused on improving. Brett Thomson

I became the 2B captain mid-season due to the elevation of Brett Thomson to the 2A Grade. At that stage of the season the team were positioned towards the bottom of the competition and had performed below its potential, largely due to a number of injuries to key players and an inconsistent playing eleven. A special thanks to Rob Hoysted and others who assisted in putting together a competitive team each Saturday. In respect of the one-day campaign, we finished the round-robin in fourth position, which set up a semi-final against Addington, who had recently joined the grade from the Senior A grade. Having selected one of our stronger teams of the campaign, we were confident of success. However, our total of 200 was never going to be enough against a strong Addington batting line-up. Well done to Addington for their success in this grade. In the competition, we played 4 games, won 2 and lost 2. We are still learning to play this format of the game and look forward to improving our results in the coming season. The two-day campaign, was I believe, our most successful and enjoyable competition, with results improving after Christmas with the introduction of new young players to the team and a more consistent playing eleven. In particular, our nine-wicket victory over Sydenham was a major highlight and shows the potential of this team. Congratulations to Andrew Dean on a well-compiled century. To Rob McHarg for one of the great catches. To Geoff Fosbender for his consistency and maturity throughout the season. Well done to everyone who played during the season and I look forward to having you back this coming season. Tom O’Flaherty

Burnside West Christchurch University Cricket Club 39 WHANGAPAROA CANNONS PONY CLUB

Unsure of how to begin this report, I find myself browsing through last season’s scorebook for inspiration. Every ‘X’, ‘dot’ or ‘6’ I see brings memories flooding back and it’s difficult to contain my smile. Because that’s what winning does. It makes you happy. And we won. We won it all. The Cannons, not unlike McLaren’s Lewis Hamilton and the Melbourne Storm, proved that with the right guidance, the right mindset, and by stacking your side with salary cap-flaunting talent, you can win championships in your second season. With Cannons founder and Commander-in-Chief Chris Peters recovering from knee surgery and reserved to scoring duties for the first half of the competition, younger brother Michael ‘Magnum’ Peters was thrust into a position of leadership. Learning his trade on the job, he grew his talents in the pressure cooker of 3B, and also stepped up to fill a void at the top of the , a spot vacated by the legendary Michael Thorpe. Taking a more aggressive approach than his predecessor, he racked up 501 runs at 26.4, with a highest score of 88. It was a good year for many Cannons with the bat, to be fair. Cookie continued to play his part at the top of the order with 334 at 26. Rabbit and Hitchy in the middle each scored 50s and totalled over 200, despite many bookies offering good odds against Hitchcock ever getting a half-century after reaching the high 40s twice and blowing it. And who could forget that commanding innings of 47 against. Sumner by the journeyman T-Money, the Cannons highest capped player. The internal competition for best bowling stats was fierce as ever and honours were shared all round. Stalwart Jellyman had an impressive RPO of 2.77, most wickets was a tie at 31 between Vedder and Dilla, Anderson was a close third with 29, and an exciting late push by the returning Chris Peters saw him finish with a of 16 and an average of 9.7. New Cannon Kinraid proved handy with the ball when he wasn’t away at weddings, and the Viking (the man with the best nickname ever) showed a talent even he didn’t know he possessed, with an opening spell of 8 overs, 3 maidens for 16, really setting the tone in the semi-final against Heathcote. The second half of the season saw the Cannons environment become family friendly, a change initiated by new cap Reuben ‘Roadblock’ Smith. He joined his older brother and Cannons co-founder Caleb in the middle order, and the sidelines were now graced, week in week out, by the presence of his wife Sami, son Ben,

40 Burnside West Christchurch University Cricket Club and father Ian. This resulted in a clean-up of colourful language, inspiring other Cannons to bring family along to games more often, a tradition we hope to carry into the 2012/2013 competition. Did I mention we won? Christopher J Peters, El Capitan Cannon

Burnside West Christchurch University Cricket Club 43 INDIAN ALL STARS The season began for the Indians with inclusion of a few new players who played for Heathcote CC last year and we did put in a couple of good sessions at the artificial nets. The first game of the season was against Sumner at home and after about five overs into the game we knew we were in trouble as the ball started moving around a lot. The Indian’s trouble against the moving and rising ball is very well documented and known around the cricketing world. It wasn’t until the third game that we registered our first win of the season, against Sydenham Goats at home, with the help of some magic from Chirag Tailor (4/6). As the weather got warmer so did our batters and we had a good latter part of the first half the season with a few good wins which put us at four wins and four losses. The highlight of the first part of the season was a brilliant 110* by Nigel Slater against BWU Maroons at Burnside 3. The other half of the season started with thumping of Hornby CC by 122 runs at Denton Park (Gee Pandya 36 off 14 balls), but the same inconsistency with our batting cost us a few games and we ended up winning seven and losing five games. The game against top of the table Heathcote was memorable for a very good all- round performance by the team, with the highlight being a blistering 39* off just 15 balls by Grant Forman. We had a few very close games against the top teams. We either narrowly lost in the last over or two, or by less than 15 runs. Top performances for the season go to Vishal Brahmbhatt ( 518 runs and 21 wickets), Chirag Tailor (392 runs and 27 wickets), Rahul Joshi with 28 wickets, Grant Forman 280 runs, Nigel Slater 349 runs and last but not the least some very innovative and thinking captaincy from Prakash Barot to go with 20 wickets for the season. Also we cannot forget the brilliant fielding by all our borrowed white boys, namely Craig Davies, Grant Forman, Johnny Van Der Westhuizen, and Nigel Slater. Best Player of the team goes to Chirag Tailor for his efforts for the season and best batsman and bowler go to Vishal Brahmbhatt and Rahul Joshi respectively. Eventually we finished sixth out of 12 teams which I think is a good result for us for the first season in this grade after having played last two seasons in 3C. Finally, it is my last year for a while at the club as I am moving to India (dry batting wickets where I can score that hundred that I have always dreamt of). Thank

44 Burnside West Christchurch University Cricket Club you all at the club for your tremendous support over last three seasons. It has been a memorable experience playing and following cricket at Burnside West. I’ll always feel like a part of this club. You can be sure I’ll be following the club wherever I go in the world. Thank you all and have a great cricketing time ahead. Prakash Barot Editor’s note: In last year’s Annual Report, the Indians’ David O’Brien’s best bowling performance was listed as 2/7. It was in fact a much more impressive 7/2, a foreshadowing of the form that earned him the Al Brown Trophy playing for the Brawlers this season.

There have to be some advantages in being the organiser. Prakash Barot, captain of the Indians.

Burnside West Christchurch University Cricket Club 47 This season represented probably THE PRESIDENT’S MEN the most successful season to date for the President’s Men, our third placing overall in the grade being a significant of the on-going potential within the side. Highlights for the season included twice beating normal “high-flyers” OBC and a comprehensive victory over perennial competition leaders Sydenham in the final match of the season. In addition, we very nearly chased down East Shirley Gold’s massive 263 (in 40 overs) – falling just nine runs short – with several players making strong contributions. This season, the poisoned chalice of selection challenges to get eleven fit players every week, was passed from a weary and near-defeated Kennedy to a combination of Robertson and Young. The net was indeed cast wide in an effort to increase player numbers, while a large section of non-responders from the previous list of weekly emails were deleted as dead wood. What resulted was a mixture of the sublime and the ridiculous, in terms of potential players, with the former numbering sufficiently to allow us a reasonably strong team at least two-thirds of the time. New recruits included opening bat Marty Conway, spotted scoring 140 odd as a ring-in for the Christchurch Police team at the Valley of Peace. Actual Constabulary players Wyman, Strong, Jones and Kneebone made regular appearances through the season. Regular team members from recent seasons (in ascending weight order) included Young, Turner, Robertson, Croft, Dickson, Kember & Sisson; while Pyatt and Hewson provided the skill and experience forged over long periods in the heart of this team. Absent from the line-up for the first half of the season was the evergreen Chris “Arkle” Kennedy – and mystery continues to surround the closely-kept secret of the causative injury or medical condition. It is suspected he underwent surgery to implant a bionic left elbow – such was his crisp stroke-making upon his return, including a well-crafted century on a day his family wandered along to watch. The bowling heroics of new recruit Steve “Stenchy” Twaddell gave Kember a stoic new-ball partner, and allowed those following to reap rewards – Robertson’s 5-13 against Sydenham a classic example.

Jared Croft was a “rectangular track bully”, flouting common sense to plunder opposition attacks to all parts of all grounds. East Shirley Gold, and Burwood Road in particular, suffered from him. Turner swung and reverse-swept as is his norm. Stats don’t lie and these names are scattered amongst the run scorers and preventers alike. A notable absentee in the run-scoring list will be the skipper – the only thing lean about him being his season with bat in hand, and it is only fortunate his post-match reviews gained favour amongst team members, sufficient for him to maintain his place in the side. Strong recruiting has been undertaken, with several big-name signings close to confirming their elevation from lower numbered grades. 2012/13 may indeed yet be the year of these President’s Men.

Burnside West Christchurch University Cricket Club 51 WOMEN’S CRICKET The 2011/2012 season was a fantastic one for our team. We played twelve games, with a few washed out due to weather, and we lost only one game for the season. Winning the T20 grade was for us a huge achievement, in our second season of playing for Burnside West. The club has not had a women’s team for thirty years and winning is great for the club and the team. We would like to thank Rob Noster for everything he has done for our team, giving up his time on a Thursday to coach us and on Saturdays, as well as training us hard. It all paid off. Also, thanks to Rob for the playing gear, jackets, hats and after-match shirts. We all look smart in them. Thanks too for putting up with all the grief we gave you, Rob – no-one else could have dealt with that. Thanks too to our sponsor, The Fox and Ferret, for everything they have done for us. This season we have had some fantastic individual performances. Katrina Wenborn and Pip Gilson both scored centuries, 113 and 114 not out respectively. They are the first two women to score 100s in this grade. Congratulations girls. There were some stunning catches and run-outs taken this season by a number of people. The best of our bowling was by Angela Dennett who took 4 wickets for 3 runs. Thank you to everyone who has filled in for us and to our supporters who came every week to watch. We much appreciated it.

Burnside West Christchurch University Cricket Club 53 Tom Latham is our first Friday night cricketer JUNIOR CRICKET to be selected for the New Zealand Black Caps since its introduction back in 1998; Tom is a fine example of what dedication and hard work can achieve. Friday night cricket was well attended apart from the usual odd cold easterly. Have a Go cricket was coached by Matt Everest, Rob McHarg and myself, ensuring all players fully participated in various drills and skills. This season, Kiwi cricket was combined with Junior T20. This group played various games and skills, preparing them well for Super 8s and hardball. We were very fortunate to have the services of Junior, Youth and Senior coach Carl Huyser, ably assisted by Muzz Hawes and Hamish Kember, ensuring all players participated and enjoyed themselves. On Saturdays we fielded teams in Senior Premier, Senior One-Day, Junior One-Day and Junior Super 8s. Our Senior Premier team was coached pre-Christmas by Bruce Kennedy, assisted by Wayne Parker. They performed outstandingly well, winning the Junior Premier Trophy. Post-Christmas Peter Hay took over the team, once all our year 9s had moved to high school. With such a young team including three year 7s, they hit the ground in fine fashion narrowly missing out on the finals at the end of the season. The highlight was beating Old Boys who had been unbeaten for many seasons. The Senior 1 day team was coached by Rebecca Manawatu who was assisted at training during the week by Richard Hartshorn. Although the team struggled at times, they were always enthusiastic and showed great team spirit. The Junior One-Day teams were coached by Angus McIntosh, and Greg and Sue Hunter. They really started to show their true potential towards the end of the season, with several players putting together some polished performances with both bat and ball. The future of junior cricket looks well served from this group of players. The Junior Super 8s team coached by Richard Hartshorn was a very young mixed team. It was a pleasure to see this team getting better and better as the season went by, showing plenty of energy, enthusiasm, team spirit and camaraderie. This was a reflection of the quality coaching of Richard Hartshorn.

Junior Premier The Premier Junior side playing in the year 8 Premiers competition performed very well and just missed out getting into the final. There were a number of highlights, especially the fantastic win against a very strong Old Boys Colts side (unbeaten for a very long time) to take the Shield and the aggressive 97 by the one-legged Simon Yorston. The year 7 boys in the team: Dominic Cornish, Mitchell Hay and Thomas Dunlop all performed very well, with Mitchell and Tom sharing the keeping gloves for the season. Our strength was probably our bowling where we had a good mix of pace and spin and generally bowled teams out. At times the batting was a bit scratchy, when with better application we could have won the tight game to get into the final. Overall though the team should be proud of its performance in what is a very tough grade. Peter Hay

Burnside West Christchurch University Cricket Club 55 Super 8s The Super 8s team was a very keen bunch of mainly year 4 players at the start of the season. They were younger than many of their opponents and the team struggled early on. What was truly amazing was how big the improvement was through the year. By the end of the season we had been treated to some excellent individual performances, but most importantly there was a real sense of team spirit and a willingness to work hard on the team aspects of the game and to be really positive about each other’s efforts. Nahid Hossain was Player of the Year and James White was named Most Improved Player, but really everyone deserved a prize for improving so much. The team was a pleasure to coach and I look forward to seeing them again in the coming season. Richard Hartshorn
