General Business President's Report It is with great pleasure that I present the President’s Report for the 2013/2014 season. Season 13/14 was another successful one for the Club. A Club Championship, all teams( bar one) reaching Semi-Finals and managing to win some silverware from all three cricket associations in Newcastle goes some way to show the great effort that was put in by all our players. Following on from last season’s success in the NJCA competitions we once again took out the Club Championship; back to back wins is an outstanding achievement. Congratulations to all the players, coaches, managers and parents involved. The 4th grade team came first in the NDCA competition and the D1 side won their final in the C&S competition. Special mention goes to the very talented Will Davis on winning the NJCA Player of the Year award; also to Michael Wilkinson on winning the NDCA 3rd grade bowling award. The Milo In2Cricket program was again a huge success; our thanks to Tom Anderson and all who were involved with it. The two English imports, Mitch Claydon and Alexei Kervezee, made great contributions on the field for the 1st grade side and helped lift them from last to fifth on the ladder.

    10 | SPORT | RUGBY S1 Sunday Independent 6 March 2016 Always check the background The 70 so-called experts lack the qualifications or experience to dictate to us about rugby injuries NEIL FRANCIS HIS one is about failure in the media, more specifically failure to question. I read the financial press every day. On a regular basis TI come across articles where I am told that some Gordon Gekko-type hedge fund principal or financier tells us he is really worried and he thinks sterling will devalue by two or three per cent in the next month. The explanations as to why this will happen are somewhat plausible but please . no panic. There is no byline, no author, and no references — nothing under the piece to suggest any attribution. We have no idea where it came from or who penned it. It just appeared. There is nothing to substantiate it or no counter-argument or editorial to challenge it. So we read it and repeat it to our mates. I see Gordon Gekko says sterling will devalue by two or three per cent in the next month. It then becomes a fact. What is indisputable is that it is a self-fulfilling prophecy. The boys have all short positions in place and when the forest fire starts, they collect. A month later we are all blown away. That fella Gordon Gekko is a bloody genius. Put something out there in the newspaper and if nobody checks or challenges it, well then it is a fact. Wednesday evening came slowly and my editor calls.
