SECRETARY'S REPORT
Ladies and Gentlemen,
Your Committee has much pleasure in submitting for your approval the 83rd Annual Report and Statement of Receipts and Payments for season 2012/13.
A summary of the Clubs achievements this past season follows:
On Field: Premiers Dunstan Shield and U12A RJ Barker Shield; Runners Up Veterans B Division (Red) Semi Finalists D Turf, Veterans C Division (Purple) ,Under 16A and Under 14A
Facilities: The Committee has continued to work with the City of Whitehorse and Surrey Park Lacrosse Club on the redevelopment proposals for Mont Albert Reserve, Peter Knox, Paul Devine and Rick Barker are the Subcommittee appointed to finalise the design. The Pavilion at Mont Albert Reserve will be demolished in early July and the new pavilion is due for completion in September 2014.
Participation: 228 Players represented MACC during the season, Josh Devine represented the Club in 23 games , Paul Devine, Ben Galtieri, and Dan Bonnett all turned out in 22 games. Congratulations to Greg Cull and Mike Wilton on achieving 200 games and Ralph Hadden and David Noble on 100 games.
We need to thank in particular the Canterbury Ashburton Surrey Hills and Balwyn Community Banks, Dick Menting (Chairman) and Nick Coker (Manager) for their generous support of our projects.
Thanks go to the members of the committee, captains, coaches, team managers and volunteers for their efforts throughout the season but, in particular, our Club coach and 1 st XI Captain Bryan Vance. Wayne Harris who did a fantastic job as Veterans Coordinator Harvey Jones who co-ordinated getting 8 Junior teams on the field each week. Jimmy Wright, Kiel Johnsen, Eddie Plant and Greg Cull have taken on the role of social committee and organised a number of successful functions including the Ladies Lunch, the Trivia Night and the Reverse Draw as well as the Presentation Night which was a fitting climax of a great season.
As always the workers crew of Jack Wright, Roger Smith and Peter Burchall with moral and bakery support from KR and Richard Harding have kept the pavilion in fantastic condition as well as keeping the canteen stocked and catering for the Umpires monthly meetings. The effort and time they put is amazing as well as the dedication week after week. MACC would not be the welcoming place it is without their commitment.
Particular thanks to Peter and Kathleen Knox and their family for again opening their house and putting up with our visiting English players this year, this is a big commitment and is much appreciated by all at the Club.

President’s Report
The season 2012/13 has been one to celebrate with a Dunstan Shield and U12a Premiership. Our first XI has had a fine year under the leadership of Bryan Vance.
However, before continuing let me take a moment to recognise and thank our major sponsors, Bendigo Bank, The Harp of Erin, Bread Street and Maritime Estate; again we have been extremely fortunate to have their support – if you have an opportunity please support their businesses.
In his first year as Captain/Coach Bryan performed extremely well both as Captain and as Batsmen/Bowler. His batting showed maturity along with class and ability to perform on the big occasions, bowling more this season produced the results we all knew he was capable of. Recognition of his leadership and personal performance came with Bryan’s naming as Captain of the ECA team of the year. He received great support from the whole club but in particular senior first XI players Paul Devine , Tim Wright, Tim Hargreaves and Travis Baker. Unfortunately (for the club at least) Bryan has taken up a position in Bendigo which will allow him to complete his much delayed qualifications. We wish him well for the future and hope it won’t be too long before he returns to the club.
While elucubrating over this report I’ve been taken back again to Donvale Reserve in mid March and some great performances against our old foe Mulgrave: Jim Blakely 60, Bryan with 63 and Tim Wright 32 being the major contributors with the bat, but it was the bowlers who provided the greater highlights with Greg Cull’s performance 23/13/6/20 simply outstanding , Chris Jackson’s (U21 Player of the year) 2/12 and Tim Hargreaves 2/43 making Mulgrave’s total of 117 insufficient to match our 226.
Appointed Captain of the 2 nd XI, Greg took up the responsibility of leading his XI probably to the detriment of his own game. So it was even more satisfying to see Greg take his chance in the GF arising as it did due to Jamie Porter’s return to England to continue his career with MCC Young Cricketers. Jamie played a big part in our on field success taking 33 Dunstan wickets and bowling with sustained hostility right through the season.
Improved performances across all XIs were seen this season; clearly this was due to the good work of all our Captains - Bryan, Greg, Michael Massey, Graeme Chipp and Gus Maclean. One reason for this was the return of a number of senior players missing last year giving us greater depth and more flexibility at the selection table which made Rick Barker’s job as Chairman of selectors easier than in past years. However increased numbers at training made Roger Smith’s job as Training Captain all the harder; but nothing Roger couldn’t handle. The improvement has been good, but no Premierships from the lower Elevens. A key measure of Club success in the coming season will be promotion of 2,3,4,5 XIs.
At this year’s successful presentation evening ( held at the RACV club) Roger Smith was presented with his Life Membership to great acclaim. Roger has made a great contribution to the club over many years as Practice Captain and player (mostly Vets). His warm smile that greets every new player and willingness to take on any task has added a great deal to our club.
Roger is just one of the hard working (occasionally anyway) off field crew together with Jack MACC 2012-13 Annual Report 9
Wright, Peter Burchall, Richard Harding and KR. The club benefits hugely from their work and commitment. I don’t think any other ECA club has such a committed group of supporters and workers and it shows in how our club is presented.
Socially the club was active again running a successful program right across the season including a reverse draw (thanks to Greg Cull), one growing function is our annual ladies luncheon; this year benefitting the McGrath Foundation. This is becoming quite a highlight with its distinctive James Wright touch. Kiel Johnsens’s work in getting numbers along to our presentation evening made all the difference and in his first year on the committee Ed Plant made positive contributions to the social program.
Thanks to all Committee members, each has brought their own perspective on the club whilst focussing on particular areas of interests. Specific thanks to Richard, year round not a day goes past, when he is not engaged on some matter of club business or other – the club owes him a great debt. On the subject of debt, Allen has watched our finances closely and he reports a reduced profit this year but nevertheless a sound result given the additional expenses faced by the club. Your Committee expects that financially we will face a tougher coming year as Pavilion redevelopment efforts may hamper fund raising. Fortunately our recent strong financial performance puts us in a very manageable position. Well done Anne Devine, Paul Devine, Wayne Harris, Kiel Johnsen, Harvey Jones and Michael Massey, and a special mention to Ed Plant in his first year on the Committee.
The junior division of the Club, under Harvey’s leadership was again vibrant, successful and a lot of fun for everyone involved. Our U12a team led the way winning a premiership (the R. J. Barker shield) and our U14a and U16a teams making it through to the finals. Harvey receives much help from a large and enthusiastic group of parents without whom we could not offer such a comprehensive program of junior cricket. Perhaps an under noticed strength of the club is the number of juniors we can call on to play senior cricket as they are always made to feel welcome and expected to play big roles in Senior XIs when called upon. Part of the reason for this is the familiarity juniors players have with the Senior group and vice a versa which comes from the older juniors training regularly with the senior group.
As was expected our Veterans were more than competitive with the Reds making it through to a Grand final and the Purples making a Semi Final appearances the Greens and Golds will benefit from injection of youth to add to their strong performers. Wayne Harris (Best Clubman) with the help of Molly has the Vets running well.
The future of club is exciting, following more than a year of intensive work by Paul Devine, Richard Barker and your correspondent plans for the new pavilion have been signed off and the early stages of site preparation followed by demolition of the existing pavilion has begun. Our much beloved trees that shaded many of MACC’s finest (players and supporters) have gone and storage containers have arrived at the ground.
The pavilion has served the club for many years, growing and evolving to meet the changing needs of the club. It’s been the scene of far more victory celebrations than wakes following defeat. It’s sheltered us from the burning Sun and Summer rains. Kept many a Beer cold, shower hot and bottle of red just right , provided a corner for failed batsmen to sulk and table to stand on and shout the
MACC 2012-13 Annual Report 10
odds by rampant bowlers – it has done its job.
It is very much the hope of the three Committee members who have guided the Club’s contribution to the design of the new pavilion that it will serve the club as well as has the old and in so doing will secure the future of the Club well into the future.
It’s been a great Summer.
Go Monts !
In Cricket,
Peter Knox President Mont Albert Cricket Club
MACC 2012-13 Annual Report 11
THE FIRST XI
The season started with the appointment of Brian Vance as the club captain coach. He was supported with the re-appointment of Simon Oliver as Fielding/fitness and bowling. With Brian completing his season in England Simon led the pre-season with a greater focus on fitness with many sessions completed at Anytime Gym in Balwyn.
The season proper got undreway on the now expected second Saturday in October with a match against Surrey Hills. The match was highlighted by the inclusion of former Junior and now “Giant” Adam Tomlinson. Adam bowled straight and fast taking 4 for 14. Mont Albert chased down Surrey’s total with Tim Hargreaves making 45 not out for Vance’s debut win as captain. Along with Tomlinson, Jim Blakely and Simon Olive debuted for the first XI.
The next match against Mulgrave saw two English imports debut for the club. Jamie Porter from the MCC and Simon Hosking who as well as playing also contributed to the juniors club with coaching stints throughout the season. Mont Albert won the match by six wickets highlighted by Vance’s 75 not out, Colin Orchard taking 5 for 31 and Porter taking 1 for 55 (in an inauspicious debut). The following day Mont Albert defeated the premiers Deepdene by 30 runs in a make-up game for round one. Vance made 82 not out and then elected to give himself a bowl and returned 3 for 4 from six overs. Not a bad weekend for the new skipper! The match also saw the debut of another past junior Andrew Padbury and the return of the seasoned Travis Baker.
This also had the team on 18 points before the end of October, and demonstrates the importance of a good start in this competition. Credit must go to Olive and Vance for getting the boys “up and about” early.
The Boronia match was highlighted by debutant Chris Jackson (also a past junior) taking 4 for 21 in a six wicket victory.
Wins against Ashburton (Tim Wright 89 not out, Porter 4 for 25) and Hawthorn (Baker 83, Porter 6 for 43) followed leaving a one-day fixture before Christmas against Glen Iris as the final match before a terrific first half of the season would be complete.
Glen Iris won the match by 115 runs. Normally a report like this would focus on our players however in this case we will make an exception (Sorry Orch!).
Glen Iris’ English importer Jack Taylor opened the batting and made 122 of 63 balls. His display of hitting included 9 fours and 10 sixes. It also produced 31 from one Orchard over, with the single coming off the last ball after bouncing only once before hitting Hargreaves’ midriff at deep midwicket. Although extremely disappointing to lose perhaps we saw a fairly unique ECA performance on the day!
The return from the Christmas break saw a lackluster victory against Marcellin. Travis Baker’s 66 could not have been made any easier and was surely a century missed! Porter was terrific again with 4 for 38 off 20 overs and was proving a handful for opposition batsman every week.
An easy victory against East Doncaster saw us enter the second last home and away match against St Kevins with indifferent form and finals a formality (it is easy to identify in hindsight!)
MACC 2012-13 Annual Report 12
The match against St Kevins can only be described as pathetic. Mont Albert were bowled out for 99 in 39.4 overs. An entertaining battle for first innings points took place with St Kevin being triumphant making 100 all out! Porter bowled 20.3 out of 44.3 overs taking 5 for 46. A mighty effort! Paul Devine also took 6 catches. The disappointment of the second innings of 77 all out in 37.5 overs (Blakely 43 runs) demonstrated disrespect for the honor of representing the first XI. The resulting 8 wicket outright defeat must never happen again. The result, although poor, was not as bad as the approach demonstrated by our players. We must learn from this for future seasons.
The true mark of leadership is how a team responds to disappointment and Vance rallied his troops. A renewed focus on process was implemented and it is a credit to Vance the response from his team in such a short period of time.
The last home and away round now saw Mont Albert playing for a home final. Wickets were shared to see North Balwyn all out for 137. In reply the first XI secured a home final with 7/231 (Baker 49, Blakely 46).
Mont Albert finished the home away season on 54 points in second position and saw a rematch with St Kevins from 2 weeks earlier. The match started with Big Jim Blakely deciding to take a quick single for the first time for the season. A confused Wright just made his ground (however a third umpire would probably have had a good look). The result was a runner required for the ageing Wright and one run to the score! The boys batted to the plan and batted their 80 overs in a controlled manner. Mont Albert finished 6 for 266 which included 78 from the skipper, Blakely 59 and Devine a hard hitting 55 in manner that turned back the clock. St Kevins made a spirited reply however the target proved too much. An amazingly disciplined performance from the bowlers saw them all out for 184 (wickets shared; Porter 3, Hargreaves, Jackson and Roy Taylor 2 each). The pivotal moment in the field came when Orchard caught out the SKevs top scorer with a magnificent running and diving catch in front of a huge crowd packed around the soon to be former clubrooms.
The semi-final was also the last match for Porter who had to return for his English pre-season. 33 wickets at 13 was a great season.
Grand Final week selection also saw some players under injury clouds, with injuries caused during matches and some during celebrations. Some people never learn!
The Grand Final saw us up against Mulgrave (for the fifth time in a decider in the last 15 years), who had upset Glen Iris in the other Semi-Final. The first week saw Mulgrave send Mont Albert in on a rain effected day. The score reached 0-44 before play was stopped for the day. On Day 2 the batters built on that platform and threatened a few times to take the game away from Mulgrave, however the loss of wickets at crucial times saw Mont Albert bowled out in the 80th over for 226. Blakely made a hard hitting 60 and Vance batted with the middle order to make a superb 63.
In reply Mulgrave lost the dangerous Alagaratnam early to Hargreaves and then Aldons to Greg Cull, who was included for Porter for the match. Mulgrave reached 2/48 at the end of day 2 and it was game on. Mulgrave came out scoring freely on the last day before Cull was reintroduced into the attack. The two’s captain and C- Turf competition bowling winner (and proud squadron member) proceeded to make the grand final his own. His 6 for 20 off 23 overs won him the Millard Medal and a permanent place in Mont Albert folklore forever. A magnificent reward for years of service to the club.
MACC 2012-13 Annual Report 13
Mulgrave were all out for 117 and the premiership help to make up for the disappointment of the previous two years. Congratulations to Bryan Vance, Tim Wright, Jim Blakely, Travis Baker, Tim Hargreaves, Tim Wilton, Paul Devine, Colin Orchard, Roy Taylor, Greg Cull, Chris Jackson and Harvey Jones (12thy). It is important to note that 8 of the 12 played juniors for the club!
No report on the celebrations, but I have been told they were good!
Bryan Vance did a terrific job in his first year as Captain with his on-field performances and as a leader. A job well done! Unfortunately Bryan won’t be leading the defense due to personal reasons. However the challenge remains for the club to defend the premiership and get the twos back into B Grade.
Kookaburra T20 Competition
The annual ECA T20 competition saw Mont Albert play four matches.
Mont Albert defeated East Doncaster 5/126 to 8/99
Mont Albert defeated Richmond City 7/120 – 9/114
Mont Albert lost to Hawthorn 4/139 – 2/140
Mont Albert lost to East Malvern –Tooronga 5/157 – 4/158
Two wins was not enough to see the team through to the next round. The club’s approach to T 20 cricket needs to be considered as we have only once got out of the group stage since its inception. This years round matches saw us field strong teams and the matches were played in the lead up to the final “Saturday” fixture before Christmans
Do we also have the VB T 20 series to consider for 2013/14?
A challenge that lays ahead.
MOST IMPORTANTLY –
The premiership photo of the whole club at Donvale is one to be treasured. It is a real sign of a truly great club. Lead by Peter Knox and the committee, the old blokes who were rightfully highlighted by Bryan in his premiership speech and most pleasing the younger crew who have made themselves an integral part of the club this season, the club is growing stronger!
Go the Mont’s.

2ND XI CAPTAIN’S REPORT
Season 2012/13 will ultimately be remembered as a disappointing year for the 2nd XI. Having been relegated to C turf, the expectations of the group were high and our aim was to play finals cricket.
The season started with a number of one day games. Good performances with the ball against Surrey Hills and East Malvern Tooronga (Dunning 2/5, Greedy 3/11) allowed us to chase down small totals with minimal wickets lost. Harvey Jones started the season well with the bat, making 55* and 37 in these games.
Poor batting performances resulted in losses to East Doncaster and Ashburton. In a one day game against East Doncaster, we struggled to 8/131 with only Johnsen (26) and Simon Jones (24) offering any resistance with the bat. On an improving wicket, we were unable to defend this total, despite a good performance from Dunning (3/33) with the ball.
Harvey Jones (46) and Baker (35) batted us into a promising position against Ashburton. The loss of 3 wickets in the 10 minutes before tea undid their good work, and we were bowled out for 163 with 19 overs remaining. A few early wickets on day 1 and a good all round performance from Jones (3/54) put us back into the match, but once again, we did not have enough runs on the board.
A highlight of the season was the win against Glen Iris. With two first eleven players bowling half of their overs, we showed some resolve in our batting to reach 218 on a difficult wicket. The inclusion of Tim Wilton (46) strengthened the batting, but it was more pleasing to have contributions throughout the batting order. We were able to bowl a disciplined line on day 2 to restrict our opponents to 153 (Cull 5/42) and gain some confidence leading into the Christmas break.
Wins against Deepdene and St.Barnabas put our season back on track. The youth of the club were on show with 16 year old Andrew Padbury taking 3/11 from his 8 overs. 15 year old James Guley (34*) then combined with Wilton (53*) to pass Deepdene’s total with 9 wickets in hand. James followed this up with an even century (100) in the next match against St.Barnabas. Opening the batting, James showed maturity beyond his years to anchor the innings. He was well supported by stand in skipper Simon Jones (43*) to guide us to 6/257. This would be the only game for the season that we batted our full 80 overs and showed us the importance of occupying the crease and using all of our overs. Power followed up with the ball, taking 4/50 from his 23 overs.
The loss to a strong Bulleen team meant we needed to win our last 2 games to challenge for finals. Chasing a big total, we were not able to set a platform to chase down the runs. Johnsen (28) and Galtieri (46) batted us back into the game with a strong middle order partnership, but we did not have the wickets in hand to challenge late in the innings.
The loss to Canterbury was disappointing to say the least. Quick wickets on day 1 put us in a strong position to bowl Canterbury out cheaply. After having them 6/81, they put together a few good partnerships and were able to reach 210 (Cull 4/22) on a small ground. Finishing the day on 0/18, we were confident of chasing the runs. The batting the following week was poor, with only Harvey Jones (38) and Simon Jones (54) reaching double figures. Simon’s innings was entertaining to watch and included some big hitting with six 4’s and three 6’s.
MACC 2012-13 Annual Report 16
We finished the season with a win against St.Barnabas in the final round. Johnsen (47) and Galtieri (46) once again combined for a good partnership and Power did the job with ball (3/47 off 25 overs). Other results did not go our way meaning that we narrowly missed finals by percentage.
A greater value on our wickets and the ability to bat 80 overs is the key to the improvement of the second XI. In order to challenge for finals, we need to turn our starts into big scores and have a focus on building partnerships.
The development of our younger players was a personal highlight for me as captain. In more than 20 years of cricket at Mont Albert, James Guley is the youngest player I have seen score a century in the seniors. He posted 2 other centuries this season in the 4th XI (145) and the U/16s (101*).
16y.o Andrew Padbury was a standout performer in this grade. He bowled with pace and was able to swing the ball away from the right handers. His efforts earned him selection in the first XI and he will continue to develop as a bowler in the coming years.
Lachlan Power bowled with pace and determination. He is able to bowl long spells and his athleticism in the field is an asset to any team. Luke Galtieri performed well behind the stumps and his batting improved as the season went on. These players will push for higher duties in the coming years and can form the core of our first XI for many years to come.
The assistance we receive from our supporters is invaluable. I would especially like to thank Pete Guley who between watching horse racing and driving his kids between sporting events, was able to prepare afternoon tea, help with drinks, run the bar and help out with anything else that was needed on match day.
I would like to thank the committee for the opportunity to captain the 2nd XI. I am grateful for the support I received from President Peter Knox, Rick Barker as chairman of selectors and the other captains at the club. Thank you to all of the players, especially Harvey and Simon Jones who were able to stand in as skipper in my absence and provide support on match day.
I look forward to next season and an improved performance from the second XI.
GO MONTS!

3rd ELEVEN CAPTAINS REPORT Round 1
The season started on a cold day out at the home of De La Salle football against the newly formed East Malvern Tooronga Cricket Club.
We won the toss and made a reasonable 7/165 with Westerman making 60, Rick the Silver Fox making 23 & Massey 31 not out. East Malvern Tooronga Cricket Club replied with 65 with Luke Fernandes taking 2/20 in a great effort, Urdez Goenka taking 2/14 and Westy taking 2/0.
A great start to the season winning by 100 runs.
Round 2
MACC V Canterbury
Canterbury won the toss, a great bowling effort saw Canterbury dismissed for 180 at the home of cricket, the Elgar Park Cauldron. The wickets were shared by Massey, Westy and Rob Carruthers. All of them taking 2 wickets and first gamer Gus Lamin taking 1.
Unfortunately we were all out for 145 with Harry, the best looking Indian, making 35 and Mad dog making 27 being the only real contributors
God I hate Canterbury.
Round 3
MACC V East Malvern Tooronga
East Malvern batted first and were all out for 122, with Harry, 3 wickets, and Massey 2 wickets being the leading wicket takers. We passed EMTCC at 3 down for 124. Barks made 57 and Gus Lamin a great 40 not out were the stars with the Bat.
2 wins from 3 games things were looking good.
Round 4
MACC V Donvale
Our best game for the season and Donvale’s only loss for the season. Donvale won the toss and sent us in and we scored a low score on a great pitch we were all out for 144. The stars for our batting were RJ Barker with 37, Dale Greedy 28 and Massey with 33.
Our bowling was fantastic and we bowled Donvale out for 124. The wicket takers were Padbury the trinity tornado with 2 wickets, Greedy with 2 and young Dan Bonnet, Massey, Benny Gualts all with 1 .
A sensational win. 3 out 4 we were on a roll. Finals looked like a real chance.
Round 5 MACC 2012-13 Annual Report 19
MACC V Boronia
Played at the postage stamp, we batted first and made 8/152 from our allotted 40 overs. Barks who was having a great season made 33, Tommy Seibel made 26 in a fine innings and Massey with 33 were the mainstays of the innings.
We had no luck when it came to our turn to bowl and Boronia passed us in the 39th over. Only Barks with 2/30 displayed any form with the ball.
3 from 5 still looking good .
Round 6
MACC v Donvale
Well Donvale got their revenge on us from Round 4 and beat us comprehensively.
Donvale batted first and made a massive 5/296. Only barks bowled well and had figures of 2/24. In reply we were all out for 179 with Gus Lamin 24, Harry Singh 19 , Chris Jones 22 , Urmez Patel 29 all getting starts. Unfortunately no one applied themselves and dug in.
A terrible loss we were now 3 from 6 and looking a little sick.
Round 7
MACC v Boronia
Played at Boronia against the top side, Boronia won the toss and batted first.
We bowled exceptionally well and dismissed Boronia for 109, James Wright 3 for 24 and Robbie Carruthers 3 for 15 opened the bowling and destroyed Boronia.
We came back the next day and were chasing a low score of 109. Things started to go horribly wrong and we went from 2/44 to 8/60. Molly was fantastic and won the game for us with a gutsy 20 and Massey stayed in until the end with a lucky 44 not out.
A great win, we were now 4 from 7 and finals looked a chance again.
Round 8
MACC V La Trobe Uni
A great effort from Monty with the ball as we bowled Latrobe out for 140, Massey 3/16, Barks 2/21 & Jimmy Wright 2/33 set us up for a win.
Our batting was disgraceful and we were all out for 127, Barker with 36 tried hard, the rest of us needed to go back to the practice nets.
4 wins from 8 games
Round 9
MACC 2012-13 Annual Report 20
MACC V Richmond City
Our best win of the season with RCC batting first and making 5/182. Ed Wordswoth bowled brilliantly with 2/23 as did the superstar Jimmy wright with 2/15.
Our batting was amazing and passed RCC in 35 overs with the score at 3 for 185, Chris Jones 82 was fantastic and Westy’s 34 was a delight. Westy hit the biggest 6 I have ever seen, I think the ball went at least 150 metres.
5 wins from 9 we were back in finals contention.
Round 10
MACC V ASHWOOD
Jeez I hate Ashwood we were sent in on a wet pitch when it had not rained for 6 months, how the hell does that happen???????? We made a miserly 9/123, Chris Jones 20, Nick Stragalinos 24 and Jimmy Wright showed true grit.
We came back the next week to a batsman’s paradise, funny about that, Ashwood eventually made 3/183
5 wins from 10 still a chance for finals but not looking good
Round 11
MACC V Richmond City
We lost the game but then won because they cheated with an unregistered player.
High lights included Josh’s Devines 27 opening the batting, Rob Carruthers 40 not out and Urdez’s 24 were our batting highlights. With the ball Charlie Thorn 2/27 showed enormous potential.
6 wins from 11 games finals were back on again
Round 12
MACC V Ashwood
Jeez I hate Ashwood, well at least this game the pitch was dry we batted first and made 131. Barks with 42 showed a ton of class. Boronia chased down our score and at the close of their innings they were 9/172. Massey and Westy bowled well and both took 2 wickets,
6 wins from 12 games our season looked gone.
Round 13
The final game of the home and away season, the winner of the game would make the finals
MACC V Canterbury
We won the toss and batted first and made a respectful 277, Barks with 52, Copper 46, Urmez 46 and Massey 33 not out were the stars. MACC 2012-13 Annual Report 21
We bowled Canterbury out for 215 for fantastic win. Westy 3/31 and Massey 6/51 made sure we won the game and went through to the Semi Final.
Bring on the finals
Semi final
MACC V DONVALE
Donvale batted first and made 9/215, Urdez 3/46 bowled like a test cricketer as did Barks with 2/22 and Massey 3 for 35, gave us a real chance of victory.
Our innings stated of really well and at one stage we were 2/100 unfortunately Donvale were too good and bowled us out for 150 , Urdez was a star and made 63 and did his best to win the game for us. Well done Donvale.

4TH XI CAPTAIN’S REPORT
I know our collective disappointment at falling just 13 runs short of a finals berth in our last game of the season continues to run deep. We each know we could have gone much deeper into the finals.
A 'sting' in the tail of what was, otherwise, a terrific season for the players and the Mont Albert Cricket Club. A season that:
... delivered a real team ethos by the end where we really played for each other as a team. Remember that great feeling in the field where every player - young and old - was working together, egging each other on in the field. Result opposition: From 1/86 to all out for 144.
... delivered wonderful peformances both as a team and individuals. One outright win is hard enough. But our team won outright twice.
... proved the depth of talent in our younger brigade
... highlighted the value our veterans bring passing on knowledge and showing our juniors how's it’s done with their own performances.
... was fun with friendships built by all.
As a first year captain I appreciated very much the support of Hal, AB and Molly in helping get back on the tools. For me the real highlight was the pleasure of seeing the talent of our young players blossom. We have really talented young players at Mont Albert, who no doubt will be very good players for the cricket club in the years to come.
Our core under 16s brigade of Dan Bonnett, Ben Galteri, Nick Adgemis each made significant contributions. Ben winning games with important wickets and winning the bowling average. 23 wickets in a season is an outstanding effort. Dan made the opening batting spot his own and turned the corner this year with confidence in his batting. Nick at times really inspired all his team mates with his glove work toughness in getting behind the ball on difficult pitches. Of course, we had lovely cameos from James Guley (100+) and Josh Devine (40+) filling in from higher grades throughout the year. Plus Sam Cook, playing a few games with impressive left arm bowling and both Michael Harris and Dakshil who bring a terrific attitude to the team each with their bowling and fielding.
Everyone of these young players are players to watch. Each has real talent and each got better throughout the season and really brought something to the team. The Club's future is in good hands.
Another significant contribution this year was from our 'twenty somethings' of Tristan Wendigginsen, Tim Fenton, Ed Wordsworth, Steve Jacobsen and Ben Chipp each stepped up this year. Tristan really grew as an opener. His technique is terrific, consistently getting us off to a good start. Concentration and belief is his next hurdle. Once he breaks through with a big score - Look out! Tim and Eddie are fast bowlers of the future. (And Tim is a handy bat too!) Each can both be a match winner and their improvement over the season was evident. Jaco is a consumate team man. He could be ANYTHING if he can only get those left armers to land consistently. The team believes in you Steve more than you believe in yourself I think. Keep at
MACC 2012-13 Annual Report 25 it. Ben is a terrific part of any team. His fielding was exceptional. Like Tristan, once he learns to go on with his starts, he has plenty of runs in him. And, please Ben, bring back the leggies next season!
Finally, as captain, how lucky was I to have the experience of Hal, AB and Molly to help out. Their advice and support was really appreciated and each led by example, delivering some truly inspirational performances. AB's batting throughout not to mention his 160 +, Molly's batting and bowling showing how its done to guts out an innings and tie up an end and Hal's amazing bowling in the last game. The kids had some great close up tuition.
My thanks sincere thanks to all those who played in the fourths last season. Thanks to the committee for giving me the opportunity to captain such a great bunch, It really was a pleasure and a privilege.
For next year. Let's take this season's 'sting in the tail' as our motivation for better things to come. Bring on 2013/14!

MACC 2012-13 Annual Report 28
5TH XI CAPTAIN’S REPORT
The 2012-13 season can be characterised as of a season of lost opportunity. The aim of a team is to be competitive and play finals and this year the 5ths were competitive had a chance of making finals but we squandered our opportunity for finals when we could not chase down 124 against Manningham.
However this year there are a lot of positives to take out of the season. The first is that numbers were strong and we were able to select players because they were training rather than because we just need the numbers. This is a great development because it means that we can create promote players to play in the higher grades based on performance. And this is what happened with Tim Fenton and Eddie Wordsworth who got opportunities to play in the 4ths and 3rd.
There were a number of highlights this year in the bowling. There was bowling from Duckie Patel from the under 16s. He is small in stature but big in heart who can get the ball to zip and swing. Alex Rathbone leg spinners were very useful when he was on target. He can get good bounce and fizz when he is on the money. Durhan Phulka started the year slowly with the ball but as the season he found his line and something always happened when Luke Pich bowled his slow to very slow outswingers. But the highlight of the year was Tim Rossi success with the ball. He was surprisingly parsimonious with the ball because at times he looked out of sorts but somehow he had the knack of getting wickets.
The highlight of the year was Alex Rathbone with his batting. His role in the team was to apply himself and not throw away his wicket and this season he managed some big scores with three big fifties. When Alex was in the zone he made the cricket field look commodious and empty of fielders as he smashed the ball around the ground. It was disappointing not to see him crack three figures. Ralph Hadden needs to be complimented for his coolness in a crisis as a number of times he steadied the ship in the lower middle order which helped us to be competitive. However the top order batting was exposed a bit this year but Taylor Gale is showing some promise as an opener.
As a team it was pleasing to see as learn to win the close ones. We won two games that came down to the last bowl of the game. In these games we held our nerve with a battling bowling and fielding but we this season we broke team rules by not batting out our 40 overs.
I would like to thank Rick Barker for his work as chairman of selectors. I would also like to thank Jack, Roger, Peter and KR for preparing the drinks, cups and other assorted equipment for the team each Saturday. Lastly, I would like to thank my wife, Fiona, who lets me go outside and play on Saturdays in summer.

Veterans Report
2012/13 Season
Once again we had four veterans teams entered in the competition, a fantastic effort in a club with five senior teams. The following is a brief summary of how they all went.
Greens >50
The Greens have traditionally struggled for numbers and this year was no exception. Our round 1 match was postponed (mid October being far too early and cool to be playing cricket). However better than last year we did not default any games and generally got 11 onto the park.
The season commenced with a close loss to the Victorian Stars (Andy Dalrymple 37 & 2-20 off 6), followed by a disappointing loss to a strong Eley Park (Luke Pich 25). The following round was against Canterbury where again we fell to a 97 run loss with Michael Spink starring with 40* and 2-38 off 6. Round 5 resulted in a 82 run loss to West Ivanhoe with Mike Delves taking 2-35 off 6 and scoring 26. After Christmas we had a 99 run loss to North Balwyn (Henk Van Kruining 40*) and then followed that up with the seasons highlight against Forest Hill. Batting first we made 7/149 and then held Forest Hill to 8/86. Jeff Mollison (in his only match) scored 40* and took 1-5 off 4 overs, and Mike Delves took 4-8 off 6. The season finished with the make up game against Mitcham Black where we lost narrowly by 3 wickets (Andy Dalrymple 4-15 off 6).
We finished the season 9 th of 10 having played all of the top 5.
Thanks to Leigh Denning, Laurie Wordsworth & Mike Delves for captaining the side, and for all the work done by Mike Delves in putting a team on the pitch.
Golds – D Division
The Golds after making the semi finals last year were looking to go one further this year.
We started against Deakin, and had a good win with both teams struggling for numbers. Rick Coenan 40*, Don Williams 41* (rescuing us with a 49 run partnership for the 7 th wicket with new recruit Stuart Cherry) and Ian Steer 2-16 off 5.2 the standouts. We then played a succession of games that we managed to lose by close margins. In round 2, missing the commodious expanse of Mont Albert Reserve we scored 205, but then couldn’t defend it as the bowling proved to be the opposite of parsimonious (Rick 40* again). Round 3 we lost with 2 overs to spare (Jim Alexander 40* & Rob Elliot making a guest appearance from the Reds taking 3-28 off 6 -> and was heard to mention how good it was to play for a team that took it’s catches). Round 4 we completed a trifecta of close loses when we lost by 12 runs in another very winnable game (Harvinder Bedi 42*).
MACC 2012-13 Annual Report 32
At this stage we needed to win all our remaining games to make the finals, and the next game was against the unbeaten Kew. Grant Jackson took 3-17 off 6, and Jignesh Patel (a new recruit) a swashbuckling 41* to win quite easily. Round 6 we beat Mitcham (our first home win) with Jehrom Clift scoring 43*, and then in round 7 we beat Richmond City (Jehrom 2-6 off 6 and 32) to end up 4 wins, 3 losses for the season.
Unfortunately we missed out on finals on percentage after many recalculations. Subsequent calculations showed that we missed out by one wicket (preserved or taken) which provided plenty of scope for conjecture as to who was to blame for us missing out.
We had an enjoyable season and are looking forward to making the finals next season. Thanks to Jim Alexander for captaining the side, and all for participating.
Purples – C Division
After missing out on finals on percentage in the B division last year, the Purples moved to C division to accommodate the Reds who won their grade the year before. The season started with a convincing win away to Hawthorn (Dave Corrigan 43*, Mike Massey 41* & 4-37 off 6). This was followed by an easy home win over Deepdene (Bruce Wilson 4-18 off 6, Sanjay Fernandes 40*) and another easy win over Eley Park (Mike Massey 3-15 off 6 & 23*, Dave Corrigan 40*, Phil Avery 40*). The team was flying three, from three.
Round 4 was a wake up call with Koonung Heights winning easily (Dave Corrigan 42*), before we lost to Clifton Hill (Andrew Youren 41*, Phil Avery 43*). The season was back on track with a good win against Marcellin (Mike Massey 3-10 off 6, Phil Avery 43*). Finally we lost the last game of the season in the last over (Phil Avery 42*), however percentage was good enough to qualify for the finals in third, and play Koonung Heights again in a semi final.
Koonung won the toss, and inserted us. Solid batting ensued with Derek Bennett 40*, Sanjay Fernandes 42* and Michael Massey 41* (including a massive 6 in the last over) ensured we had a competitive 180 to defend. It proved to be not enough with Koonung getting home with three overs to spare.
Thanks to Dave Corrigan for captaining the side, and to Paul Goessler for managing.
Reds – B Division
After withstanding the threat of being put into the A division following their winning of C division last year, the Reds found themselves in B division. The season started with a good win over an undermanned Blackburn (Tony Hargreaves 3-6 off 3). This was followed by an excellent win over Kew (Neil Grigg 43*, Chris Dunning 40*, Mike Wilton 41*, Matt Martin 3-16 off 4). The team was brough back to earth with a poor loss to Surrey Hills (John Behrendt 2- 20 off 6), before beating Canterbury (Rob Grumont 41*, Peter Knox 44*, Peter Gartlan 3-21 off 4), and then North Balwyn (John Behrendt 2-8 off 4, Dave Noble 2-21 off 6).
MACC 2012-13 Annual Report 33
The team limped into the finals, losing the last two matches, firstly to Edinburgh (Peter Gartlan 2-13 off 5, Dave Noble 3-44 off 6), and then to Monash (Peter Knox 3-21 off 5, KR 42*). This meant we qualified fourth, and had to face the unbeaten Edinburgh away.
A committed bowling and fielding effort saw us restrict Edinburgh to 6/152 (Paul Devine taking 2-7 off 6, Mike Wilton 2-22 off 6) through parsimonious bowling, though there was still a lot of work to do on a commodious field that rivalled Mont Albert Reserve in size. The run chase started well with the side well ahead of the run rate, KR needing medical attention for a facial wound, and Paul Devine hitting a well struck 32. However wickets continued to fall, with the team getting to 8/130, before Chris McEvoy and Allen Burton put on 21 for the 9 th wicket. At that point Chris was dismissed, however Allen with 38* saw the team home for a great win with one wicket to spare.
The final against Blackburn was much anticipated, but turned out to be a fizzer. On a hot day we lost the toss and fielded first. Once again on a commodious field we restricted Blackburn to 5/158, a total we thought was gettable. Against an excellent bowling attack we collapsed to be 6/38 before ending up with 9/107. The team consoled itself in the knowledge (hope) that they wouldn’t be moved up to A division as a result.
Thanks to Paul Devine who kept the other captains in the side in line by skippering the side, and to Neil Grigg who managed the side.
Finally on behalf of all the Veterans sides thanks to the club, Knoxxy the president, and Jack & Roger for always having the Pavilion open on a Sunday for us, and organising BBQ food. We’ve all had an enjoyable year and look forward to next.

MONT ALBERT JUNIORS SEASON REVIEW 2011-12
Once again the quest for greatness was undertaken in 2012-13. Junior players across the state strapped on their equipment and readied themselves for an historic season. But it was the U12A Mont Albert team that set their sights firmly on their goal and changed history forever. In season 2012-13, the U12A team repeatedly entered the commodious fields and showed other, more parsimonious administrations, that MACC is top. However, they never let their imaginations run away with them and even a daunting speech from the mastermind himself could not deter them from their task. The RJ Barker Shield would once again hang high in the MACC rooms.
In addition to the success of the U12A’s, the club had a fantastic season that saw great improvement and development at all levels. The U10’s made large leaps and bounds yet again. The two teams unveiled a number of talented players that will no doubt play a large role in the future of MACC. The U12’s also had a brilliant year that, not only brought success, but also demonstrated that hard work pays off. The U12B team had a number of best performances, especially from first year players, some of whom had never bowled a ball in their lives. Despite them finishing in the bottom half of the ladder, their commitment to proper technique and a competitive attitude will no doubt see them climb the ladder in future years. The U12A’s also had a fantastic season, with a premiership to show for it. They also saw a number of improvements within their team and Sam Windisch, Harrison Alexander, Jakob Devine, Antony Lake and Jack Wynne played ECA representative cricket.
The U14B team will probably view 2012-13 as the season that got away. After being undefeated in the regular season, the MACC semi-final curse struck, and they were unable to pull themselves out of the whole, despite a brilliant bowling performance. The U14C’s finished with a number of personal best performances. They showed great fight in a number of matches and, despite fielding U12 players each week, were able to finish the season in the middle of the ladder. The U14 team had Aidan Pearson and Daniel Minz in the U14 ECA representative team. Andrew Young was selected in the U14 Inner East Emus representative team.
The U16A’s will also see 2012-13 as a season of missed opportunities. With the chance to make it two in a row, they also faltered in the semi-final. Their coach Colin Orchard no doubt reminded them that they are not the first to lose a semi-final after a strong season. Special mentions should go to Sam Dawborn with a scintillating 82*, James Guley with 101*, and Seb Knox with 17 wickets for the season.
