VETERANS’ AVERAGES OLD BLUES GAME

BATTING INNS NO RUNS AVE CTS 27th OCTOBER 1991 S. HENNESSY 4 0 187 46.75 0 OLD BLUES 8-185 (C. Tomko 68, D. Quoyle 41, P. Grimble 3-57, A. Smith 2-29) defeated J. FINDLAY 9 1 289 36.13 2 SUCC 6-181 (P. Gray 46 (ret.), W. Hayes 43 (ret.), A. Ridley 24, J. Rodgers 2-16, C. Elder P. HENNESSY 13 1 385 32.08 5c, Is 2-42). J. MACKIE 2 0 64 32.0 0 B. COLLINS 2 0 51 25.5 1 B. COOPER 5 0 123 24.6 1 Few present early, on this wind-swept Sunday, realised that they would bear witness to S. WHITTAKER 13 1 239 19.92 5 history in the making. Sure the Old Blue's victory was a touch unusual - but the sight of Roy B. NICHOLSON 13 5 141 17.63 1 Rodgers turning his leg break was stuff that historians will judge as an "event of A. SMITH 7 5 32 16.0 1 significance". C. MEARES 4 0 56 14.0 0 D. GARNSEY 19 3 215 13.44 15c,Is I. ENRIGHT 8 3 67 13.4 2 The Old Blues (or, in some cases, the Very Old Blues) produced a new squad this year. R. ALEXANDER 5 0 57 11.4 0 Whilst a steady stream of defections from the grade ranks may cause problems elsewhere for G. COONEY 7 4 34 11.33 7 the University, it is certainly ensuring that the likes of Ron Alexander are most unlikely to E. U COUTEUR 9 0 91 10 . 1 ! 1 find their way back into this successful combination. The negotiations concerning the toss R. KERR 6 0 52 8.67 2 were along the George Bush/Saddam Hussein line - "we'll bowl". The first scud was delivered D. FOX 9 3 43 7.17 1 by P.J. who hasn't changed at all in twenty years. The Uni openers of Gray (the other one) D. MEINTJES 18 1 113 6.65 5 M. Le COUTEUR 3 0 19 6.33 1 and Hayes poked and prodded their way to a minor opening stand of 111. Faced with an D. NEVELL 9 0 56 6.22 3 enforced voluntary redundancy package of a seat beside Logs at the table, we M. WHITE 7 0 39 5.57 0 managed to rid ourselves of both of them. That took the game into Stage 2 with young (well D. BARROW 8 1 34 4.86 2 he used to be when I played at the Club) Smith and Patterson (who seems to have I. NEIL 13 0 62 4.77 2 more in common with some of his opponents than his ovm team) having their go. C. LATIMER 6 2 17 4.25 2 M.DOBSON 8 0 13 1.63 2 Our skipper O'Sullivan bowled marvellously well with the benefit of a Force 10 gale - T. NEVELL 5 0 7 1.4 0 incidentally, a scientific phenomenon which meant that John Dyson's returns were getting OMR WAVE perilously close to the keeper on the full. But Rodgers was the one. Comment was passed that G. COONEY 112 17 386 23 16.78 when he ultimately retires (which 1 understand will be about the same time as Bob Hawke) he C. LATIMER 40 2 207 12 17.25 will look back on his career and see an alarming void from age 22 to age 42 during which he B. NICHOLSON 45 4 179 10 17.9 persisted with innocuous off-spin when the God-given talent of the leg spinner could have B. COOPER 18 1 74 4 18.5 been brought out of the cupboard. He in fact has played a major role in Australian cricket. It J. FINDLAY 71 7 204 11 18.55 was he who converted from a fringe test player to a superstar in about three or J.

Confounding the critics by agreeing to bowl at 1 for 1 - but there is always the R. SENNIT 21 4 87 3 29.0 temptation to bowl just one more . Tomko was a complete embarrassment but at least M DOBSON 23 1 154 5 30.8 lifted the score to 6 for 181 in the allotted 45 overs. D. FOX 75 6 335 10 33.5 R. KERR 59 7 201 6 33.5 Other notable features? Those of you who remember the coup which removed Mick C. FOX 13 2 37 1 37.0 I.

HENNESSY 63 6 288 7 41.14 Ridley will appreciate the subtle revenge in ensuring Ridley ran from fine leg at one end to A. SMITH 24 2 121 1 121.0 deep mid at the other for each and every over of this game. Hartley Anderson's lengthy arm at backward square possibly saved a run or two - I'll look into that and advise ALSO BOWLED: O M R w you further next year. Darby announced that, after a quick examination of the concrete M. WHITE 6 0 47 wicket, even Waitara wasn't looking so bad. Alan Crompton, appointed by the A.C.B. as C. HALL 11 0 55 match , decided to take a closer look from behind the sticks and effected the stumping C. MEARES 6 0 39 which removed one John Saint. Unfortunately when Roy goes for his back-spinning wrong'un C. SHARP 8 3 40 P. HEALEY 9 2 42 the bounce achieved plays havoc with Crommo's gluteus maximus. So the stage was set. Off we trudged with a glint of success in our eye and waiting for the inevitable up-market lunch. Would we trip down memory lane to Jordashes? Or check to see whether Ronny Coote still ran the McDonalds at Newtown? Perhaps the Hospital food was

Maybe there was still a pile left over from the rugby season in the Queensland University Intervarsity dug-out. The Sydney Uni IV side departed Sydney at 1.50pm Monday 17th of February and arrived back ftom Brisbane on Friday the 21st at 4.30pm with a team consisting of:- Tomko, Ridley and Foulsham began what can only be described as a full frontal onslaught. Rather than call drinks Patto brought his lot off for massively creamed scones and other Adam Smith (Captain) objects which were obviously the product of someone's wallet rather than their cooking skills. David Butchart (Manager) Perhaps a temporary set-back because Dyson fell victim to a run out shortly after this Simon Gray unwanted adjournment. His 9 runs will be viewed closely together with his efforts for the Phil Gray remainder of the season with Sutherland, to see whether he will get next year's invitation. We Justin Burt really do have enough spinners. Duncan McIntosh Andrew Wiles It was at this point that the skills of our captain really came to the front. Elder, your author Richard Wiles and that captivating batsman, was sent in to turn this match on its ear - or was it to keep Jason Ellis Darby and Tomko apart? I prefer the former theory. Certainly No. 5 is without a doubt his Mark Bland position as he showed with a lovely chip over cover and then the old faithful - the hoick into Paul Mulvaney mid wicket's hands without the need for that man to expend any energy at all.

Isn't that taking the manager's role just a touch too far? Perhaps Crommo is going to bat for at the S.C.G. shortly THE GAME (preferably against South AfWca). Day 1 The Uni boys relied on spin with the Snake picking up 2 for 29 off 14 and the Grimble with Sydney Uni won the toss on the first morning and elected to bat on what looked to be superb the normal waist-line (as distinct from that other one) taking 3 for 57 off 15.

Bad luck for the Jenkins, Alexanders, Mesleys of this world but emotion should never be a factor in sport. Duncan McIntosh then came into the attack and took 3-34 off 10 overs. Tight bowling by the other bowlers coupled with Duncan's aggressive left arm orthodox bowling restricted Queensland Uni to 218, a commendable effort from the Sydney Uni team. Chris Elder Sydney Uni then embarked on its second innings. At the close of play Sydney Uni were 3-108, mainly thanks to some aggressive batting by Cameron Dowe (31 n.o.). Sydney Uni finished the day leading by 55 runs.

This season was the first where the Club had the services of a professional administrator, working full-time for the cricket and football (Rugby) Clubs. The increasingly professional standard of Ten meetings were held during the year administration, coaching and quality of facilities demanded of Clubs by the Association requires increasing administrative effort. This position is the Club's considered response to that, noting that the typical University player-administrator also has pressures of study and MAME PRESENT examinations, and later, of establishing a professional career. Alan (Wally) Reid was appointed, and is officially an employee of the Sports A Crompton 6 4 Union, and we thank that body for its financial and logistical support of the role. The Foundation, through Ted Le Couteur, was involved from E Le Couteur 6 1 the beginning of this innovation, and met the Club's commitment to an J Dunlop 7 agreed share of Alan's salary, which did however transfer some pressures 3 on to the Club's internal funding.

For their $150.00 social levy W Reid 7 0 players were provided with professionally catered afternoon teas at home games, and were subsidised for lunches at special games, and drinks and food at the Annual Dinner. Non-members of the Sports Union are required to take out Associate Membership and gain certain insurance benefits as well as the use of SUSU's facilities.

The employment of our professionally qualified coachs is a major expense item, albeit heavily subsidised by the SCA and SUSU, but volunteers like Mick O'Sullivan, Damon Ridley and John Grimble also contributed greatly to our good results.

Almost 200 of our past and present players have now joined as Life Members, Members, SUSU Allotment of around $9,200.00 in calendar 1995 has or will be Undergraduate Members and Subscribers and together with interest earned spent on coaching and development, equipment, umpires and on the Foundation capital, a sum of almost $25,000.00 has been raised affiliation fees, additional to the above figures. since the 1989 launching. This is a commendable result and clearly shows the high regard in which the Club is held by past and present players. 1994-95 was the first year of operation of the new whole-square However considering that there are another 800 or so players who have not covers for No 1 oval, funded by the Foundation and SUSU.

HONORARY AUDITOR’S STATEMENT Most importantly of all, with a capital base of almost $200,000.00 the Foundation is a "rock" on which the Club can continued to build in the future. I have examined the records relating to the operation of the Club's trust account and am satisfied that it presents a true and fair view of the We are indeed lucky to have such loyal supporters in the community and Club's financial position and transactions for the year. these good friends are listed below. To them the Club extends its sincere thanks. This season the Club and the Foundation again enjoyed the support of the STATE BANK OF NSW, our official sponsor and we thank I have also briefly examined petty cash records and have satisfied myself them very much indeed for their generous and continuing support. that there are no obvious areas of concern with transactions in this area. We would remind those who have not yet joined the Foundation that all contributions are tax deductible and go into a capital account where the interest only is spent, so your donation remains in the Club in perpetuity.

Waverley batted first and seemed to bat within themselves. I am sure they thought that 200 would be good enough to knock the Uni boys off. Hollebone and Sainty bowled accurately and with good movement both in the air and off the seam. The fielding was again pleasing.

Divall blazed again when it came our turn to bat and again (most importantly) Tommy and Sainty built on the good start. This was a satisfying and rewarding win that earned the respect of the Waverley team. Another win, another six (6) points.

David Butchart saved his comeback until he worked out which team had the best chance of winning a premiership, and chose well. Then again, we might not have won with out him. This year will have helped to turn him into a good first grader.

Andrew Dawson was AKA 'the King', and was the old man of the side at 26. He had a good first season in third grade, and proved handy in the field with both cricket and golf balls. He also possesses one of the best pull shots around.

Mick Evans scored only 150 runs for the season, but played three valuable digs, including hitting the winning runs in the final. I'm sure he will agree with the comment "more training - more runs".

In the end, though, Collinge and McKenzie were required to hold out for 742 20.1 4-41 the last half-hour to earn the draw - a fighting finish to a slightly disappointing M FARROW 80 17 10 201 20.1 5-74 game. also bowled Round 2 - Western Suburbs 204 (Bonnell 5-43, A Macintosh 3-27) beat Sydney University 102 (Platt 26, A Macintosh 24 not out). Fielding with only ten at the start of the C WILLIAMS 26-5-6- 92 A BATCHELARD 4-0-0-27 A WILES 7-0-0-29 match, we failed to take full advantage of a Slick Oval pitch that was unfit for grade W KNIGHT 25-3-2- 84 D BUTCHART 5-1-1-18 D MACINTOSH 6-0-0-27 cricket. Bonnell, who returned figures of 38-19-43-5, bowled unchanged and made the R KELLY 25-1-3-112 ball cut sharply on the dusty surface. Macintosh ran through the middle order, but 204 represented a good total in the conditions, a point that was emphasised by our limp BEST PARTNERSHIPS collapse on the second day. Round 3 - Sydney University 200 (A Dawson 72, Young 61, J Hill 20) drew with 1STWTK 169 C DOWE & W KNIGHT VS WESTS (3RD GRADE RECORD) Campbelltown 2 for 104 (G Turner 2-41). Winning the toss, we lost 3 for 19 in the first 2ND WTK 56 C WILLIAMS & W KNIGHT VS SUTHERLAND twenty minutes on a perfect batting strip. Dawson (14 fours in 115 minutes) and Young 3RDWTK 169 C WILLIAMS & D BUTCHART VS MANLY (3RD GRADE RECORD) (nine 4s in 97 minutes) were dominant, but our total was inadequate. Graham Turner 4TH WTK 118 J PLATT & A WILES VS CAMPBELLTOWN struck twice on his fourth grade debut, but it is a fair assumption that only the second 5TH WTK 96 A DAWSON & M EVANS VS day washout saved us from defeat. Three games, no points, and the prospect of a long 6TH WTK 50 A DAWSON & J DUNLOP VS and depressing season. 7TH WTK 59 C PELLY & J DUNLOP VS Round 4 - Sydney University 7 for 224 (Terentis 101, Pitty 69, A Dawson 30) beat 8TH WTK 59 C PELLY & J MITCHELL VS NTH SYDNEY Parramatta 9 for 167 (Mitchell 3-27, Bonnell 3-46, J Hill 2-61). Sent in on a damp 9THWTK 28 J DUNLOP & LHARTMAN VS PARRAMATTA wicket, we lost 2 for 20 before Terentis and Dawson rebuilt the innings. Terentis hit 10THWTK 30 B SPENCER & LHARTMAN VS CAMPBELLTOWN his maiden grade century, an innings full of memorable cuts and pulls, including 14 fours in 204 minutes. Pitty's effort (seven 4s in 94 minutes) was no less valuable. Parramatta had no answer to Jamie Mitchell's pace, and Jason Hill bowled a long, confident and controlled spell of off-spin. A very welcome win. Round 5 - Sydney University 248 (Docker 101, Terentis 56, Ahern 27, Cheever 22) and 3 dec 123 (Pitty 48 not out, J Hill 37, Young 32 not out) beat Sutherland 170 (G Turner 5-47, J Mitchell 3-46) and 8 for 106 (Bonnell 4-16, Mitchell 2-39). When we lost 4 for 20 inside the first hour, Sutherland thought they had us beaten, but Terentis was outstanding again and Docker (13 fours in 205 minutes) played an innings of high class to reach his first century in this grade. Responsible supporting innings from Ahern and Cheever made our score respectable, and it looked better than that when Mitchell crashed through the top order, taking 3-7 as Sutherland went to the close at 4 for 20.
