Page 11 Club Sponsors & Supporters
The Queanbeyan District Cricket Club would like to thank the following businesses and organisations for their support for the 2013-2014 season:
Major Sponsors
Queanbeyan Kangaroo Club Ltd
ARIS Building Services
Page 12 Other Sponsors/Supporters
Page 13 President’s Report
Season 2014-15 proved to be another successful year for the Queanbeyan District Cricket Club. All teams making all semi-finals (except for 4th grade narrowly missing the T20 semis) a tremendous effort, 3 premierships for our mighty 3rd grade team and second in the Club Championship albeit we will take a moral victory, indicates our club is in a healthy state.
In what was seen as a rebuilding year for our 1st grade, the young guys stepped up and accepted every challenge thrown at them. Skipper Sammy Taylor did a mighty job leading the boys to semi-finals in all 3 competitions and has started to build an excellent culture within the group. We have quality young men right through our Club. We are a Club that is going in the right direction, we are sustainable, competitive and a Club that enjoys our cricket whilst creating an environment for our players to learn and improve. As an example of that, it was great to see club newcomer Henry Hunt make his Futures League debut at the end of the season and I’d like to think our club has played an important role in assisting Henry in achieving his goals this season.
Well done also to our other skippers, Adrian Brunker (unlucky to lose all 3 grand finals), Michael Frost, Matty Harding and Aaron Thorne for the way they lead their teams this season.
Our Freebody Oval cricket facility is one of the best in country Australia and we are very proud to call it our home.
Our relationship with the Queanbeyan City Council continues to grow from strength to strength. We have three excellent grounds in our city and it is our hope we can attract representative carnivals and with that, visitors to our City in years to come. The Town Park square was re-laid this season thanks to the support of John Barilaro (Member for Monaro) and the Council. A sincere thank you Queanbeyan City Council staff for their ongoing assistance.
I would like to acknowledge our curator Greg Dawes for the excellent job he has done on the grounds now for a number of years. We’d love him to continue in the role however he says he is moving on so if that is the case Dawesy our Club would like to thank you for your efforts.
The committees challenge now is to maintain and further improve our facilities to keep Queanbeyan the best place to play cricket in the district.
Thank you to all of our sponsors this season. We could not function in the way we have now for a number of years without your support. In particular I’d like to thank our major sponsors, the Kangaroos Club. Thanks also to ARIS and Coates Hire for their support and to our growing list of minor sponsors. I encourage everyone to get behind and support our sponsors whenever possible.
I would like to acknowledge our Committee for the work that is done and meetings that are attended for our club to run as smoothly as it does. Great job by Vice Presidents, Stephen Cross and Rohan Ditton, Secretary Ron Bates, Treasurer Matty Harding, and our general committee of Dave Corcoran, Adrian Brunker, Peter Jensen, Steve Grocott, Derren Gillespie, Darren Southwell, Stephen Frost, Chris Howe and Sarah McGlashan.
Page 14 Our Club is also extremely fortunate to have the support of mums and dads, wives and girlfriends around the pavilion. We would not be able to operate the way we do without your support. There are too many to list but we can’t thank you enough.
This season was the first occasion we awarded the Mark Higgs Medal. Mark is arguably the finest cricketer our club has produced and this award is an excellent recognition of Mark’s career. The award was for the best first grade player in all formats for the season and was voted on by two of our life members. Congratulations to our overseas player, Ed Barnard, for winning the inaugural award.
This season we also introduced perpetual awards for batting and bowling through the grades, which I believe is an excellent initiative. These have replaced individual trophies and will be hung in our pavilion. The trophies have been named after prominent past and present Queanbeyan players from that grade and it is great that most of them were at our presentation night to present the awards for the first time.
Last but not least, a big thank you to my wife, Julie, for her support throughout the season at the clubhouse and in my role as President of our Club.
Peter Solway President
Page 15 Secretary’s Report
Well another season has come and gone and while we have not scaled the heady heights from recent years, it was still a very successful season by any measure.
All teams made the semis of all competitions (with the exception of our Div 4 team who narrowly missed out). Third grade had a stellar year with taking out the Triple Crown (Two- day Premiers, One-day Cup winners and T20 Div 3 Cup winners) this was followed by 2nd grade being the Triple Crown runners up (made the final of all 3 competitions). All this contributed to the club just missing out on the Club Championship.
From an individual's perspective, there were great performances all round. 14 Centuries were scored this season of which 10 players scored their maiden centuries for the club (Henry Hunt, Jordan Hedington, Kel Evans, Michael Gilshenan, Phil Moore, Ed Barnard, Chris Russo, Mark Solway, Jezza Macdonald and Micah Manners). We also had 7 players in the nervous 90's as well.
With the ball Darren Southwell had a stellar season which included taking 5 wickets in an innings twice as well as 10 wickets in a match. All up we had bowlers take 5 wickets in an innings 16 times. Congrats also to Finley Hollyhead for his first Hat Trick for the club.
We were also well represented at the Association Awards with Peter Jensen being awarded the Dene Moore Medal (4th grade player of the year) and Phil Moore winning the 3rd grade batting award.
I would also acknowledge two players from our club, Vinesh Bennett (Australian Open Team) and Wade Burrows (Australian U/18 Team) who were both part of the victorious Australian Indoor Cricket teams which won their respective Indoor Cricket World Cups in Wellington.
I would also like to congratulation the following players for achieving personal milestones this season. I would like to add a special note that Sam Taylor passed 100 1st grade matches as well.

Page 16 Thanks to the hard work of the committee and in particular Rohan Ditton and Matt Harding, the club introduced a new playing strip which for the first time included training gear. It was well received and certainly added another level of professionalism in the club.
This season also saw the club undertake a long overdue major refurbishment of the Town Park wicket. This was made possible by a grant from NSW Government thanks to the work of local member, John Barilaro, the efforts and support of the Queanbeyan council and finally the generosity of the Junior Club committee to whom the grant was originally aimed at.
To this end, I would like to acknowledge the ongoing support that is provided to the club Queanbeyan Mayor, Tim Overall and from the staff of Queanbeyan City Council. It is great to know that they are always ready to provide assistance whenever it was required.
In January, Freebody Park was chosen to be the venue for the Cricket World Cup tour and it was a very successful day indeed. A lot of local children turned up to be part of the coaching clinics that were run. We also managed to persuade a lot of former cricketers to again done their whites for a T20 match.
The match was played between a Queanbeyan Invitational XI captained by Peter Solway and an ACT Invitational XI, captained by Murray Radcliffe.
The match featured current and former Queanbeyan players – Steve Frost, Michael Carruthers, Mark Steele, Tony Wynd, John Bull, Roger Cuscheri, Dom DiCampli, Michael Kennedy, Simon Mann and Ian Black.
The ACT side had former stars like Greg Irvine, Paul Nemes, Ken McLeod, Evan Kellar, Craig Henderson, Rob Regent, Michael Dawn, Graeme Bush, Steve Smith and Nick McClintock.
Apart from all the players who participated, I would like to thank Bill Ruse and Derren Gillespie for volunteering their time to officiate. Well done to all.
Page 17
During the year, the club was honoured to be chosen as the venue to commemorate the 200th First grade match for both Bill Ruse and Terry Keel.
Bill and Terry and "The Cake"
Ratsny Gillespie did the club proud by baking a special 'cricket' cake for the day.
Off Field
The past season saw the club continuing to acknowledge the accomplishments of past and present members by bestowing Life Membership on James Martin and Ron McGlashan at our AGM.
I would like to congratulate Peta and Matt Harding on the birth of their first child, Finnegan Thomas Harding.
I would also like to thank our "Ladies Auxiliary", particularly Julie Solway and Ratsny Gillespie for the work they do around the club. I know that the 1st grade lads love the lunches they put together for every home game.
I would also like to thank our scorers – Liam Baker and Peta Harding for doing a great job throughout the season.
I would also like to acknowledge and to thank the work that firstly Josh Matic and then Steph Kohler (Queanbeyan Age) did during the season. This effort ensures that the club is at the forefront of sports news each week.
Also helping keep the club in the public domain, I would also like to thank Pete ‘Nook’ Newham for allowing me to present the Bluebags Review as part of his weekly sports show on Queanbeyan 96.7 FM every Friday evening.
Page 18 The Annual Dinner and Awards Presentation Night was again a great night and congratulations go to all the award recipients. I would like to again thank Josh "Chow-Dog" Sands and Sam "Tubbsy" Taylor for the fantastic job they did as Master of Ceremonies.
It was great to see club stalwarts such as Mark Higgs, Col Berry, Phil Moon and Winston McDonald in attendance on the night to present the new perpetual awards named in their honour. It was also pleasing to see Tim Overall, John Gallop and his partner Judith Breen, taking time out of their busy schedule to join us on the night.
I would also like to acknowledge the efforts of the organising committee of Rohan Ditton and Michael Frost. Thanks to all involved.
The club’s Annual Golf Day was another success, with good numbers in attendance. However we were a bit light on helpers on the day, which we need to address for next year's event.
On a sad note however, the cricket community was shocked with the passing of Phil Hughes during the season. The club provided a fitting tribute to Phil and his family with all teams having a minute's silence before the start of matches.

Page 19 The Future
Thanks to efforts of people like Ian McNamee, the club's future looks good and as a result the Queanbeyan City Council offered the club a 20 year license on the pavilion, which we have duly accepted and have signed off on.
Thanks to the support of Tim Overall, the Council has agreed to rename Freebody 2 to The Neil Bulger Oval, which is a long overdue tribute to "Legend". There will be an official naming ceremony just prior to the start of the new season.
I also see a prosperous future for the club on the field with a number of youngsters in the lower grades ready to take that next step on their path to first grade.

Page 20 Treasurer’s Report
The 2014/15 season saw the club turn its financial performance around from last season’s $1000 loss to a profit of almost $9000 profit for the season.
Revenues totalled approximately $117,000 which was an increase of $29,000 on last season. The increase can be attributed to the release of the club’s new clothing, which resulted in an increase of $18,000; an additional $6,000 in sponsorship came in courtesy of several new sponsors committing to the club for the next three seasons; and an increase of $4,000 in fundraising through social events and the operation of the pavilion fridge.
Expenses totalled approximately $108,000 which was an increase of $20,000 on last season which was due to the increase in costs for our new clothing. Whilst the club was able to reduce the following expenses - playing equipment, coaching, match hosting and social functions - this was neutralised by increases of the following expenses – Cricket ACT charges, administration expenses and curating costs.
Social functions for the club included our two major fundraising events during the season - the Trivia Night in November and the annual Golf Day before Easter with both events being well attended. An added event this season was the Homeground Cricket Tour held at Freebody Oval in the lead up to the ICC World Cup, which also bought in some unsuspected revenue. This event included activities for kids and culminated in a T20 game featuring the ACT Old Boys vs Queanbeyan Old Boys which was broadcast live by QBN FM, and allowed spectators to concurrently watch both that game and the live feed of the Australia vs England ODI match.
The club's Balance Sheet at 31 May 2015 reflects a strong position with approximately $63,000 in net assets, which will allow the management committee the opportunity to invest further in playing and ground equipment for future seasons.
The club's major assets include the site screens and the new Ezi-cover with a combined capitalised value of $13,900; clothing inventory of $8,800; and cash balances of approximately $38,000.
Thanks go to: Peter Solway for liaising with sponsors and securing match hosting income Ron Bates for collecting monies from players and managing the procurement of playing equipment Stephen Cross for his continued assistance with sourcing fridge stock and manning the bar for several social functions, after match drinks and match hosting events during the year Rohan Ditton for organising the clothing and the procurement of the Ezi-cover All management committee members as well as the many others who have organised, managed or assisted with the activities conducted by the club.
Lastly thanks to my wife Peta for providing assistance and allowing me the time needed to fulfil my treasurer commitments.

Page 33 Coaches Report
The 2014/15 season was a positive one for the Queanbeyan Cricket Club. Three titles were won – Third grade were champions in the two-day, one-day and T20 competitions. Premierships are very difficult to win and congratulations must be given to all players who participated in these successful teams.
At the start of the year, we had three clear objectives. Allow players to improve and take ownership of the club. Inclusion across all grades. Enjoy what we do.
Looking back on the year, I believe we achieved these during the majority of the season.
Players improved their games and the statistics displayed this. Third grade won premierships and the other four sides dominated at times during the season. Our social functions and celebrations were well supported. The way all members of our group got involved was a credit to the club. It is always great watching people have fun and celebrate individual and team success.
First grade had a positive year. Viewed as re-building year, new standards were created and owned by the players. Their season may not have seen any titles being won however all players who represented First grade this year achieved self-belief and a new expectation for next season. Sam Taylor in his first year as Captain did a great job. His team was made up of young, up and coming Queanbeyan players that saw the emergence of Henry Hunt and Ed Barnard. Making the finals in all three formats and the grand final in T20 was a great achievement.
Second grade had a year of “so close but so far”. They may not have won a premiership but they produced performances that enabled individuals to push for higher honours. During the season they dominated certain games and in others they unfortunately didn’t achieve their usual high standards.
Adrian Brunker lead the side well and with his focus on “doing the simple things right” forged the team into three grand finals. Each player who played in Second grade did so with great enthusiasm. Some amazing milestones were achieved by players throughout the season, which also adds to what was a season of missed opportunity but one that creates a hunger to do better in 2015/16 season.
Third grade were well lead by Peter Solway. Their year was very successful, winning all three premierships. Many players achieved great milestones this season. It is a credit to Peter for being able to ensure that every week strong outcomes were achieved. Their performances were outstanding. Congratulations to all Third grade players. It is important to highlight that the players in Third grade should be looking to achieve higher honours next season. This will strengthen our club from the top and down through the grades.
Fourth grade followed a similar path to Second grade…..a season that showed so much potential only to have the opportunities missed. Lead by Matt Harding, Fourth grade reached the semi-final of the two-day competition and the final of the one-day competition. The one- day grand final saw the team in a dominant position, only to have the game called off and replayed due to wet weather. The grand final was replayed the following week seeing Wests
Page 34 prevail. Like Third grade, players from this season must be looking for higher honours and attendance to training is key to further the players’ aspirations.
Fifth grade - this team is just so consistent. Some fantastic club stalwarts and legends, enjoying each other's company is what the game of cricket is about. This team is great starting point for the young guys starting in grade cricket or wanting some experience while school cricket takes a break. This season was on track until the grand final qualifier and to be fair this result didn’t reflect what the season was about.
In regards to Queanbeyan individuals and higher honours: Dean Solway and Henry Hunt played in the Comets futures league team. Congratulations to both.
The future - the club is in great hands and with youthful and talented players coming through the grades, Queanbeyan Cricket Club can expect success again next season. Our pre-season and consistent availability is vital to ensure this success. First grade need to set team goals in preference to a general outcome. Individuals can also benefit from goal setting.
Coaching the Queanbeyan Cricket Club has been an inspiring experience. As a coach you don’t always get it right but it is a great feeling to know that you have the support of the club when planning and executing your strategies. The support I have been given by all people at the club has been outstanding. As I have said before, our facilities are first class and the commitment of all involved is highly noteworthy. The Queanbeyan Cricket Club is a great place to play and learn the game of cricket.
My thanks must go to the following people:
Assistant Coaches – Colin Crouch, Darren Southwell and Peter Solway. I would like to thank you all for the terrific support and your work throughout the year. You all have insightful knowledge and are very experienced cricket people. This provides a very positive impact on the Queanbeyan playing group. Also, special thanks to Peter Solway who also played a key role ensuring this group were heading in the right direction
Captains: First grade – Sam Taylor, Second grade – Adrian Brunker, Third grade - Peter Solway, Fourth grade - Matt Harding, Fifth grade - Aaron Thorn.
Ron Bates for his total professionalism and attention to detail that is the envy of Canberra Cricket.
Team Selectors: Adrian Brunker (Chairman of Selectors), Sam Taylor, Peter Solway, Matt Harding and Michael Frost.
Finally to the family and friends who support us every week.

It was dubbed the rebuild/struggle season for Queanbeyan First Grade side, a mass exodus of the clubs created “superstars” had taken place during the off season. The team that was going to be assembled was only going to be a bunch of young blokes learning the game, and would struggle to match it with the big boys of the grade Competition.
T20 was where this young team was most expected to fall over. However it was the first final series the boys would play, a highlight being blowing Western Creek off the park in the Semi Final. Special mention going to Lakshmn Shivakkumar who produced the innings of his short career and one of the best innings seen in the ACT in recent times. Unfortunately First Grade were beaten in the Semi- Final by Norths, but it lit the flame of belief and screamed out to the rest of the competition that this young team was no push over.
One Day Cricket then was the next focus for the team and again the boys were more than up to standard. Ed Barnard the overseas player brought in lead from the front, especially with the ball, always managing to jag a wicket when needed or piling on the pressure for the break to come shortly from the other end. Unfortunately for the boys disappointment was met in the Semi Final, failing to chase down West-UC’s total on a very unpredictable pitch batting second.
Two Day Cricket was the final challenge for the boys to tackle. After not scoring under 300 in all two day games and the team celebrating Mark Solway’s maiden Queanbeyan First Grade 100, the underdogs had turned into slight competition favourites. But a hard loss to Eastlake the game before the finals, losing Eddie Barnard to rep commitments back home and a slight lack of experience, proved too much and First Grade sadly ended up going down to Wests again in the Semi Final. An under serving end to what was all in all a fantastic year for not only first grade but as a collective club.
Page 36 2014/15 was easily the most enjoyable season to date at the club. A special mention to all volunteers, Greg Dawes with the pitch, Ratsny and Julie in the kitchen, Liam Baker for scoring, Ron Bates for the ridiculous hours he puts in behind the scenes, all committee members and general supporters of the club First Grade thanks you immensely.
Looking ahead to the 2015/16 season it looks incredibly positive, with the fire in the belly from defeat of last year, an incredible crop of young talent at the club to pick from and a wide range of experience and brains trust at the club, Queanbeyan is destined to bring in a truck load of silverware in my opinion
Can’t wait and looking forward to seeing you all a pre-season to get stuck in and BLEED BLUE!!

QDCC 2nd Grade enjoyed another successful yet frustrating season making the grand finals of all 3 formats yet failing to lift any trophies. It's fair to say the side played their grand finals in the semis of both the T20 and 2 Day Comp with very strong performances beating the higher ranked opponents in Wests and Creek. The one day final saw the bluebags almost pull off a miracle in the field defending a well under par score and at one stage when play was halted due to weather were in front on Duckworth Lewis. From a captains perspective it was clear we were the second best team for the second consecutive year but our continued development of our younger players will bear fruit very soon and I expect the group will be lifting trophies next season.
Many thanks to Darren Southwell and Vinesh Bennett over the course of the season for their help on and off the field. Special mentions go to Vish Thakur and Yadwinder Prince for outstanding seasons leading the batting and bowling respectively. They were great additions to our squad this season and performed consistently right through the season.
A major highlight was Darren Southwell taking a phenomenal 9 for 21 against Ginninderra, something he isn't going to let us forget any time soon! Other outstanding performances came from Jeremy Macdonald scoring his maiden grade 100, Kel Evans and Vish Thakur 100's in the 2 day Semi. Yadwinder Prince also took a 6 ‘fa’ against Tuggeranong and numerous bags of 3 and 4 ‘fa’s’. Other performers of note were Ben Izzard. In his limited appearances, Ben bowled great spells of leg spin well beyond his years of experience and will be looking for a first grade spot before long. Nathan Corby was a tremendous addition this season often bowling very long spells and taking plenty of wickets.
It has been a pleasure to skipper the side over the last couple of seasons and watch the growth and development of our younger guys. The club is moving to a point where we will be the benchmark right through the grades with our blends of youth matched with experience creating the perfect environment not only to produce top cricketers but lift trophies as well.
I would also like to thank Dawesy for his excellent pitches and outfields. We are lucky to have the best grounds and facilities in the region bar none and it's a credit to the club that we can say that.

3rd Grade had a fantastic and memorable 2014-15 season. To go through unbeaten for the entire season and win three premierships was a wonderful achievement. A big pat on the back to everyone who played 3rd grade this season in any of the formats!
More importantly I believe however, was the improvement we have seen in a number of our younger players during the year. Tyler Van Luin, Jay Ludwig, George Cross, Phil Moore, Mick Elliott, Wilson Morshead, Finley Hollyhead along with a host of others showed excellent improvement. Jordan Brown, Beau Watts and Jacob Knowles were again ever reliable as was young quick, Jordan Lees.
In 3rds this year I think everyone who played had a really good opportunity to improve their cricketing skills and just as important, enjoy their season of cricket. The team spirit was excellent throughout and everyone enjoyed the company and successes of others.
The mix of youth and experience was spot on this year and went a long way to the year we had. The old blokes chipped in and did their bit when required and I thought it was a good indication of how far we had come that Frosty and I weren’t required to strap the pads on in either the semi-final or final of the 2-day competition.
A big thank you to David “Horse” Horsfall, Michael and Stephen Frost and Simon Mann for their support throughout the year. Frosty did a great job skippering the T20 side and played a memorable knock in the final. Horse was a great help throughout the season and is a truly fantastic clubman.

It would be remiss of me not to acknowledge the fine performances by Mick Elliott and Phil Moore in the Grand Final. The boys opened the batting and proceeded to pass the Wests score of just over 200 without losing a wicket to score an emphatic victory for the team. Mick went on to make a century and Phil capped off a fine year with 90 odd not out.

Page 42 I’ll just leave you with probably my fondest memory from the season in 3rd grade.
We were lucky to gain the services of a young 15 year old wicket keeper from Bega this season who drove up and back each weekend. Young Kel Evans played the first half of the season in the 1’s and batted 11 and wasn’t required too many times. He played some rep cricket after Christmas and after a chat to his rep coach and his Dad the decision was made to get Kel back to 3rds to give him an opportunity with the bat. In his first match in 3rd's, Kel batted at number 4 or 5 in the first innings and unfortunately he played one on and got a duck after a couple of balls. I’m sure it was a quite trip home to the coast.
The following week we knocked Ginninderra over for a second time and we needed 45 runs off 8 overs for an outright win. Kel opened the batting with another 15 year old in Wade Burrows.
By this time all of 1st grade, 2nd grade, 3rd grade and 5th grade were watching the concluding overs on Freebody 2. Kel proceeded to smash the opening bowlers to all parts and made 37 off 18 including a wonderful straight six to get the team within touching distance of an outright win with not too many balls to spare. He got massive applause from everyone as he walked in and he modestly raised his bat, but deep down he would have been beating his chest in the knowledge that he now belonged. He then went on to make 90 odd in the next 3rd grade game and 120 not out in the 2nd grade semi-final.
Great stuff!!!

The 2014/15 season was a good season for Fourth Grade even though we were unable to bring home any silverware. As team, we had some exceptional performances throughout the season, not least of which was having four players score 350+ runs for the season: Peter Jensen (543), Michael Gilshenan (517), Stephen Cross (411) and Matt Harding (368). Mick Elliott (318) wasn’t too far off the mark, and young Sid Girish (290) finished just short of 300 runs in his debut season. Brad Moore did well behind the stumps again and contributed with the bat scoring 170 runs for the season.
Our bowlers also performed with Peter Jensen (42 wickets) and Will Graham (31) the standouts, but they had very good support from Michael Gilshenan (18), Simon Johnson (17), Finley Hollyhead (12), Graeme Alexander (12), Colin Crouch (11) and Sid Girish (9).
T20 Competition We completed this competition with three wins and a loss from our four matches and missed out on the semis due to Net Run Rate even after defeating eventual champions Norths in the last pool match. Standout performances were Peter Jensen 5/18 vs ANU and Matt Harding 66 vs Eastlake
One Day Competition We completed the round matches of this competition with six wins and a washout from our seven matches to finish in first place on the table. Unfortunately we ended up losing the replayed final to defending champions Wests UC. We had an excellent run in the regular season with highlights being defeating Northies with 1 bonus point in the first round bowling Ginninderra out for 166 (we were defending 176) after they were 1/95
Stand outs performances were Peter Jensen 73 vs ANU and 52no vs Eastlake; Matt Harding 94no vs Tuggeranong
Page 45 Two Day Competition We completed the round matches of this competition with four wins, two draws and a loss from our seven matches to finish in third place on the table. Unfortunately we ended up drawing the semi-final with eventual winners ANU.
We should have finished higher on the table except we were unable to take the final wicket against Western Creek who hung on for a draw and match with Ginninderra we had 2 wickets to take when play ended – we lost an hour's play in the first week due to rain. Our only loss was to Norths during the Saturday/Sunday round before Christmas. Highlights of the season were: Watching the youngest players in the team Jordan Hedington and Sid Girish putting on a 148 run partnership for the third wicket against Weston Creek: Jordan scored 133 – his timing and placement was fantastic to watch. Rohan Ditton had a cameo, scoring a quick fire 55no Sid scoring his maiden fifty for the club against Eastlake in the last round match
Stand outs: Graeme Alexander 54 and Peter Jensen 6/23 vs Wests; Peter Jensen 6/76 and 52 vs Norths; Jordan Hedington 133 and Rohan Ditton 55no vs Western Creek; Mick Elliott 51 and Peter Jensen 80 vs Ginninderra; Sid Girish 64 vs Eastlake
Semi-final The season ended at the Semi Final for this competition however could have been a different outcome had we taken the several chances provided to us on the first day. ANU batted for 4 sessions (144 overs) setting us a target of 352 from 62 overs to go through to the final (5.7 runs per over).
Steve Cross (52) and Sid Girish (33) had a good opening stand of 86 with us being 2/109 at tea (31 overs – 3.52 runs/over) with the equation now being 243 runs from 31 overs (7.8 runs per over). We lost a couple of quick wickets before Michael Gilshenan’s quick fire 114 (some big 6’s were hit at ANU North) and Graeme Alexander (33no) added 109 for the 6th wicket. We ended the day at 8/300 from the 62 overs (4.8 runs per over) available giving ANU a mighty scare along the way.
A big thanks to Crossy for assisting with ground set up for all our home matches, bringing an esky with drinks for the away matches.
I also need to thank the efforts of Adrian Brunker and Michael Frost with the selections each week to ensure we had players in all grades, Greg Dawes for the preparation of Freebody 2 and all the other players who played in fourth grade this season before moving up the grades or filling in when required.
And last but not least a really big thanks to the other player’s WAGS for coming along and supporting us each week. Although I suspect the presence of my infant son Finnegan may have been the actual reason for you being there, I know I and the other players appreciated your support. I must also make special mention to the efforts of my wife Peta who in addition to caring for our son, managed to score and keep the fourth grade ‘crèche’ in order simultaneously.

Page 47 Fifth Grade Report Minor-Premiers
Fifth grade had again a very dominant season and we finished the home and away season as the minor premiers for the 2nd year in a row. The team was strong in all facets of the game throughout the season performing consistently week in week out.
We started the season strongly winning five games in a row and by the season break we had only two losses and a rain affected draw. We then started the second half of the season with six straight wins. We then had a big win in the qualifying final to book our place in the semis. Unfortunately we then put in what was probably our worst performance and lost our Semi Final against a strong North Canberra Golden Eagles side.
It was an exciting year for our side. Personally it was my first season as captain and our first season in a long time without the legendary Peter Jensen. Many tipped a slight fall in performance due to the big loss of Jenno. But I was proud of the way we all performed as a team, nobody relied on another person to get the runs or take the wickets. Everyone chipped in each week which made my job easier and at the same time harder when it came to selections at the business end of the season.
This season we had a few new faces due to losing a few young guys and Jenno. We were very lucky to pick up Mal Towney during the season, he provided us with an x-factor with the bat and the ball, hitting a few quick half centuries. We were also fortunate to have Graeme Alexander for the majority of the year, he provided great advice and experience to our side and a few of the younger bowlers we had in the team at various stages of the season.
And to the younger guys, Tommy Christou (who played the whole season) plus Mitch Fern and Ollie Hall (who filled in when we were short) were all fantastic in the field. By the season's end Tommy was coming into his own with his batting and Ollie' bowling was improving with every game. They brought much needed younger legs to an ageing team.
The seasoned regulars were fantastic also with Jimmy, Ferny, Troy Drayton, Ronny and Yippa all amongst the wickets this season, racking up fantastic stats.
We had our ups and downs with the bat but we took advantage of some ordinary bowling and fought hard against quality bowling. Again everyone contributed throughout the season. Most notably Micah Manners. Micah’s season was a good one, he was great in the field matching it with the young fellas, his bowling and his contributions with the bat that included 94 and 105 (Micah’s first century).
A special mention for Jimmy Martin, his bowling was fantastic all season, he always bowled and batted when and wherever I asked him to without complaint. He was always happy to provide advice and do what was best for the team. And during the course of the season he became the clubs leading wicket taker, a fantastic effort from a club legend.
I would also like to mention the ultimate team man Bipin, he ran from one end of the field to the other each over, each week. He also batted in just about every position during the season and bowled when called upon without complaint. He came early to set up and left later to tidy up.

Over all I think it was a successful season, unfortunately we were unable to replicate the previous 4 seasons in making the Grand Final. I’d like to thank our experienced guys in Jimmy, Ferny, Ronny and especially Chris Howe for assisting me throughout the season with advice for bowlers and fielding changes. It was an enjoyable season and a big learning curve for me also. I hope everyone returns for another season and we continue to improve and go one better in Season 2015/16.
