All I can say is that it gives me great pleasure to write this No. 456 was Nick “Pug” Shurmer. 10 years of hard work report. While we did not win any silverware, there were and dedication both on and off the field saw Shurms play some individual and team performances that will go down his first top grade game against Western Suburbs. He was as some of the best in this club’s long and rich history. We so excited with his cap he even decided to make a speech finished sixth in the Belvidere Cup, but we were knocked after accepting it – certainly a first in my time! Shurms out by the rain. We finished fourth in the one-day cup after showed some great determination coming to the wicket at some impressive wins, but failed to make the finals in a 5-62. Facing 94 balls he was building a nice platform and if disappointing T20 campaign. This season saw 1st grade use it wasn’t for a ‘controversial’ catch, I’m certain he would have 21 players which made for some challenging yet unbelievably continued to build on his score. rewarding times. Five players debuted for 1st grade this year and all five did themselves and the club proud. A month or so after Vasi’s impressive debut, it was Josh Moors’ turn to amaze everyone. The daunting task of a one Tom Vane Tempest, joined us from the ACT this year as our day quarter final against ladder leaders Sydney Uni set the wicket keeper and settled in right from the start. TVT has all stage for a memorable debut. Batting first, we made a below the attributes of a true Saint and made the side his number par score of 191. This didn’t stop the boys from coming out one priority on all occasions. The best example of this was with a fight and soon we had the students in trouble at 6-75. during the Covid scare over the Xmas period, TVT moved However, as Tim Cummins looked settled and with a strong from Canberra for a two week period so he would still be partnership developing at 6-110 Moorsy was thrown the able to travel to Sydney and play for us. The highlight of ball. Moorsy took the wicket of Cummins followed by the his season was no doubt his remarkable knock of 50 off 35 remaining three and the rest was history. He finished the balls in the final game of the year which helped us secure a game with 4/18 and a helped us gain a spot in the semi- finals spot. final.

Tom Mackenzie joined the club and put in a mountain It’s always a pleasure to celebrate the beginning of a first of work during the pre-season. Tmac grew in confidence grade career, but it’s more important to celebrate one that’s throughout the year and everyone was able to see his raw coming to an end. A career that is sadly coming to a close is talent. He completely changed the game against Gordon for that of Tom Ortiz. Nine years of first grade, first at Sydney us with a spell of hostile fast bowling, knocking over their and then Saints - Tiz has terrorised top order batsmen with best two batsmen and allowing us to bowl them out for his swing, seam, smarts and very rarely some words of advice. under 200. He was up and down most of the year, but by In three seasons for St George, Tiz has taken 87 wickets to the last few games he was able to break his way into the side go along with 4 x 5 wicket hauls. Whilst we won’t go into with some consistent performances – a great reward for a his batting stats, his determination at the crease was always hard-working player. admired. On two separate occasions, Tiz came out at no 11 having left the field injured earlier that day. Both times, Tiz The round before Xmas saw us play Bankstown with caused more damage to himself, yet was still able to get us six players unavailable due to injury (three being fast home to victory. We’ve all heard it before – Tiz is a brilliant bowlers). Enter Evasio Macmillan who made one of the bowler and a great team mate. However, it is difficult to find more remarkable debuts the club has seen. Vasi wasn’t even words adequate to describe sort of person he is. You will not selected in 2nd grade to start the season, but some hard work find a more honest, trustworthy and kind individual if you during the off season paid off when he took four wickets on tried. Tiz came to the club when we were struggling with debut! His accuracy and extra zip impressed everyone in his experience throughout the grades, and he gave the young two games in the top grade – unfortunately an injury ruled players a lead to follow both on and off the field. Tiz, you him out for the rest of the year. will be sorely missed – not just by St George, but by the

No one has ever doubted the talent KP has and that was on show against Penrith in Round 1 with a 94 that saw us back As mentioned earlier, it was tough to get some consistency on in the game and a match winning 77 off 59 balls against Parra the park this year due to constant changes out of our control. that saw us through to the finals. Further hard work during This manifested in our batting performances this season. We the off season will result in a few more of these innings from had some great individual performances during the year, but the big man. only reaching a total of 300 once proved to be the difference between finishing six and higher. Matthew Hopkins was one It was absolutely brilliant to have Bmac back this season. of our more consistent batsmen and was able to force his way He is a true team man and one of the most skillful players back into our white ball teams through some hard work in I’ve seen. Unfortunately, his season was cruelled by a lawn the off season. Hoppa always works hard at his game and it mowing accident. The courage that Buzz displayed to get was great to see the changes he made in his game pay off. back on the field for the last few games was testament to his determination and commitment. Mitch Gray was up and Luke Bartier’s season highlight was a brilliant 100 against down for a lot of the season which is a very tough position Gordon along with a dynamic 50 against Fairfield-Liverpool. to be in. Mitch has added numerous strokes to his game and Ultimately Bart’s season was interrupted by a bad side strain now it’s just a matter of using them at the appropriate times. and we certainly missed his presence on the field.

Annual Report 2020–2021 19 For me the highlight of our year was the bowling group. I’d like to thank all of the coaching staff for their efforts They regularly kept us in the contest and won us games this year. To Gilly, you’ve given absolutely everything to this when we shouldn’t have. This was a massive improvement group and challenged us to achieve our best. You’ve been a from last season and every bowler can take some credit for it great support for me and helped a lot of the boys progress as everyone contributed. We have always seen Pete Francis as into fine players and men. Your commitment and passion our strike bowler and this year he went to another level. If it have resulted in us playing some unbelievable cricket and wasn’t for a bad side strain that kept him out a fair chunk of winning games that no one would have thought possible. the season his year would have been even bigger. Pete’s efforts through the pre-season allowed him to perform at all points To Peter Jackson, thank you for everything you do for the of the game. New ball, old ball or at the death in white ball, side and the club. We never go without and you provide Pete was regularly able to execute his plans and take wickets us with the best possible environment to succeed. The boys when we needed them most. These efforts were rewarded certainly couldn’t have improved as much as they have with selection in two second XI games for NSW this year. without your assistance. I’d also like to give a special mention to Nick Warren who helped out our fast bowlers this year. Tom Engelbrecht and Joe Graham teamed up for most of the It’s no coincidence your guidance and technical work with year as our spin twins. Tom finished the year with 24 wickets the quicks resulted in all of them improving out of sight. and was particularly effective in the one day competition, often turning games around for. Toss is the side’s best fielder Lastly but certainly not least, to the committee and and while he didn’t have the year he would have liked with volunteers, this club would simply not survive without the bat, he showed what he is capable off with half centuries you. To Kevin Greene, as president, you set a standard for against North Sydney and Sutherland. Joey Graham everyone to follow and you make sure all players are given complimented Tom with his off spin and also played a role the best opportunity to succeed. We are extremely lucky to in winning a number of games for us. Although the wickets have the administrative team we have and thank you for column wasn’t what Joey would have liked, he was able to leading it. To our scorer Jeff Evans, I’m sure we provided build pressure at one end whilst wickets fell at the other. His plenty of heart attack moments, but I know you loved seeing one day form again was outstanding, regularly going at four this group progress to the finals this year. You’ve seen our runs and under. If Joey can transfer this mindset into his best and our worst and we hope you’ll be there when we win two day cricket, I have no doubt the large wicket tallies will some silverware. To Kev McKiernan, you make gameday follow closely behind. run like clockwork, you’re the first one there and often the last one out. Whether it’s cooking the bbq or running out The old man and new father, Trent Copeland put his hand drinks, your time and efforts are greatly appreciated by the up to play for Saints whenever he could. We know what team. Finally, to Murray Bennett, you give so much of your the club means to him, but it was never more obvious than time to our players at training and they are so lucky to have Sydney. He copped a knock on the finger while batting, you guiding them. You’ve been a great mentor to me for resulting in a fracture. Copes continued to bat as wickets which I’m truly grateful. fell around him. The raw emotion he showed in the dressing room at the end of the day was a clear message to all of us Nick Stapleton what St George means to Copes.

Jono Craig-Dobson had limited opportunities this year but showed he is now ready to take on 1st grade. No one works harder than Dobbo and the improvement he had from last season to now was enormous. His efforts in the 2nd grade finals campaign were just as impressive and we are holding high hopes for even bigger things next year. The big man, Andrew Walsh, was always able to be counted upon when thrown the ball. Often doing the tough work into the breeze, Walshy kept the batsmen under pressure and bowled well in tandem with the opposite end. One of the best team-mates you could ask for, Walshy’s dedication and commitment to the club and his own personal game was rewarded in the biggest way possible this year… but this will be covered in more detail later.

Three years ago and an 18th placed finished brought about last over on the third day. Unfortunately for us, it was one a change within the 2nd grade side. A line was drawn in small hurdle too far. The disappointment felt amongst the the sand by a few senior players and acknowledged that team and all the supporters was enough for me to realise that the performances of this team were not up to St. George this young team will go on to feature in 1st and 2nd grade standard. After a tough year in 2018/19 results wise (five finals series for a few years yet (minus a few of the older boys wins, but many near misses), it was clear that the Saints were it seems) and each and every player should feel enormously on the rise. At the end of last season, we were left wondering proud in the way in which they represented this great club. what could have been with COVID-19 bringing about a premature halt to the competition. One in which we were One of the points I made as captain at the beginning of the definitely title contenders. Andrew Walsh hit the nail on year was that 2nd grade is a platform for higher honours and the head when he wrote in his report last year that this 2nd that with success comes opportunities. I was thrilled to see grade side would challenge for the title in 2020/21. Not only the development of some of our players, excelling in 2nd did we challenge, we got within a whisker of being crowned grade and therefore earning the opportunity to make their premiers. 1st grade debuts. Carrying on from a great end to last season, the boys Tom McKenzie was a welcome addition to the club this continued to find ways to win games regularly. In fact, this season after making the move from Coogee to Hurstville. 2nd grade side achieved something that I have not witnessed After making his 1st grade debut in Round 1, some of the before, going 21 games undefeated dating back to Round state players returned for Round 2, meaning Tom found 7 of the 2019/20 season. This streak included 13 wins, 7 himself in 2nd grade. I have no doubt that he would be the draws and an unbelievable tie where after rain ruined Day first to admit, that it took him a bit of time to find his rhythm 1, the bowlers managed to claim 7/29 including 2/0 while with ball in hand at the club, but when he did, he was a the scores were tied sending the couple of St. George faithful handful for opposition batsmen as many of the Wests and who had stuck around to 7.00pm absolutely bonkers.

After spending the season between the two top grades, Tom finished the Finishing third at the end of the rounds and progressing season strongly and will no doubt aspire to become a regular through the qualifying final due to rain, we moved on to a in the 1st grade line-up over the next couple of seasons. semi final match up with Western Suburbs at Pratten Park, who we had beaten comprehensively at the same ground As mentioned earlier, Josh Moors’ innings (110no) against earlier in the year thanks to a Josh Moors masterclass with the Wests showed the improved maturity of this young man with bat. This time around it was a swashbuckling innings from the bat which will no doubt complement his ability with the Jackson Shaw (82) which gave us a respectable target of 263 ball. His skills have never been doubted by anyone at the to defend. Day 2 was a long hard slog and at 5/93 the big club and it was only a matter of time before he was rewarded dance was within our grasp. A counterattacking partnership with his 1st grade cap. Josh finished the year in 1st grade all of a sudden brought the game back to an even keel, (including the one-day semi final), frequently contributing however, enter new ball specialist Tom Ortiz. Tiz claimed with ball in hand, before returning to 2s for the finals. Josh is three wickets in two overs to finish off the Wests tail and we one player who should be striving to play regular 1st Grade were finally into the grand final. cricket over the next few seasons to take his game to the next level.

Vasi is another player with untapped potential season. Jono was 2nd grade’s leading wicket taker with 32 at and with another strong offseason to hopefully get his body an average of 17. Remarkably, he managed to take at least right, he is another player that should be pushing for regular three wickets on eight occasions throughout the season.

One of the great clubmen, Nick continued on from short of a maiden hundred. his breakout season last year to carry the 2nd grade middle order for large portions of the season. His match winning Speaking of Max Farmer, this is one player who I believe has knocks of 89no against Fairfield and 54 against Mosman just started to realise his potential. As wicket keeper, Max has were just two of many innings that earnt him the right to steadily improved his game under the tutelage of former 1st make his 1st grade debut.

This was on show for all to see as I have no doubt that this will rest long in the memory of he took a screamer off Walshy to ensure a tied game against Nick and something he will cherish for many years. It would Sydney and keep the streak alive. As mentioned before, Max also be remiss of me to not mention the run-a-ball 61 in was also part of the record breaking partnership with Dobbo the second innings of the grand final which got us to within and deservedly reached his first ton for the club. No doubt touching distance of the premiership. It seems as though we the first of many.

Although not white hoops, and if that is the case, it will leave a huge hole in experiencing the success he hoped for at the top, Max has the side. Congratulations Nick on an outstanding 10+ years shown enough to suggest the runs will flow next season. of cricket at the club and hopefully we get to see you run a round for a few more games yet. Jackson Shaw was another player who really stood up this year. Shawry made his debut in 2s a couple of years ago, Simon Chu is a player who reignited his 1st grade career after however, was given an extended opportunity this year and a few years out on the back of some strong performances. he thrived in his role batting in the middle order. His clean Simon was a wealth of knowledge for our younger players hitting and aggressive style of play put the pressure back on within the 2nd grade team and it was clear that the side the opposition on a regular basis, none more so than his 82 walked taller when Simon was around. He showed that in the semi final. Look for Shawry to take his game to new he still had extreme talent with a run of form throughout heights next year after proving he belongs in 2nd grade.

I have been lucky enough to play alongside Simon for close Liam Whitaker was another new addition to the club this year to 15 years and there are not many more genuine blokes and was probably a victim of the success of our fast bowling around in grade cricket. Well done on a great career Simon. unit meaning opportunities for Liam were limited. Having said that, Liam played vital roles throughout the season as Continuing on with the retirement theme, I wanted to thank he was often called upon to bowl his offies in the powerplay and congratulate Tom Ortiz on his time at the club. Joining overs in the limited overs games. Liam’s energy in the field the club in 2018, it is clear the impact Tom has had amongst brought about the downfall of many opposition batsmen, the fast bowling fraternity.

I begin this report where I often conclude it, by thanking all Keiran Beadon looked every inch a quality player in taking those involved in making season 20/21 so enjoyable. More on the new ball in every innings. A return to longer form than ever, the off field leaders of our club, Kevin and the cricket next season will give him the opportunity to build the committee, deserve particular credit for the enormous effort big scores he is very capable of, and mount a case for quickly it took to have the club prepared for a season where the progressing up the grades. It’s important to recognise Keiran’s future was so unknown and the financial support of our loyal fabulous dedication to training. It’s admired across the club sponsors could not be assumed. Our enormous thanks also and provides a great example to players across the grades. go to the coaching staff of Jacko, Gilly, Ed, Trent, Jock and Kev, who had us well prepared, from the extended pre season While Alex Parthenis is likely frustrated with a season where right through to the grand final. he started in 3s before playing the tail end of the season in 4s, there is no doubt in the minds of anyone who watches him The enormous gratitude of all in 4th grade also goes out bat that he will be a hugely successful player in the higher to Jimmy and Mike at Harold Fraser.

It is impossible to do justice to the service Al Pandelis provides to the club, our team and me in particular. Big Al, Sahil Pathania joined the club this year and embraced the your wonderful service and the humble and gracious manner tough no. 3 position. Having taken a few rounds to settle in, in which you offer it, is inspiring and a vital element in what Sahil was one of the few regular faces in the disrupted team makes St George, and our 4th grade team in particular, such we took to Blacktown in Round 7 when we were struggling an extraordinary place to play cricket. to emerge from a large group mid table. A loss would have taken enormous wind from our sails and had us nearer the It was always a pleasure to spend time with all the parents and bottom than the top. After some early wickets, and still yet supporters that attended each week. I am again, incredibly to establish himself fully in the side, Sahil initially stabilised grateful for the support and friendship you shared with me the innings before dominating the attack in the closing overs, this season. ending with a superb 82. Little did we realise at the time, the importance of this innings in instilling belief in our own side Of course, the final thanks is to my 20/21 team mates. and setting us on the path to a nine game winning streak, and While we are an eclectic group, with a mix of ages, interests, the minor premiership. Sahil also brings to the team some personalities and backgrounds it is a delight to spend each handy bowling and a rocket arm, attributes that are likely to Saturday in and amongst a great group of friends. This make him a fabulous Saints asset in coming seasons. intangible element was surely a key ingredient to the success we achieved this season. 2020/21 was a watershed season for Jarrod Brown. While still only 18, Browny was obviously frustrated as he struggled After 2 rounds we were very bottom of the table. The odds to find scores that did justice to his ability and expectations. would have been very long on us finishing as clear minor But, after a lean first few games, and with the pressure of the premiers only 13 rounds later. Credit though to eventual HSC in the past, Browny returned to 4th grade in Round 11 winners Sutherland, who were the better team in the grand and delivered on his obvious potential. While he collected final and the deserving premiers. a number of significant scores, by far the most impressive element was his ability to score these runs in high pressure It was a tough year for batsmen to rack up great statistics, given situations, often being the difference between winning and our success in bowling first and dismissing teams cheaply. losing. Backing up an important 41no in a run chase in the

While unlikely to win the Sid Harris balls. One of the best fielders in the club, Jarrod can now add training award, TK’s contributions in all other ways, are valuable experience to his enormous talent and realistically enormous. TK is testament to the value of a player knowing set his sights on a top order spot in the higher grades in the their game. Week in, week out, TK applied his skill to collect very new future. another 22 wickets @ 13.8 and 2 runs per over. Equally important is the contribution he brings to the culture of the A single pre season trial game was enough to demonstrate team. TK is knowledgable, generous, competitive and witty that Josh Appleton was a classy acquisition for the club in and, as such, provides a great role model to the younger guys 20/21. Bad news for Josh mid season, through the arrival of who are lucky to share their cricket with him. a painful injury, was great news for 4th grade, as he returned from a lengthy stint on the sidelines via our team. Josh’s It’s wholly appropriate to finish up with Shiv Chaturvedi, as ability in all aspects of the game is deserving of selection in a he was, for many, our player of the year. On a personal level, much higher grade, where he will no doubt play his cricket Shiv epitomises the value of team sports, as he is a gracious in 21/22. However, simply focussing on his classy batting, and humble guy who is great company every Saturday. talented bowling and superb hands would not do justice to Fortunately for us, he is also a very talented bowler, and our the value Josh brings to a team.

Over 15 and selfless personality made him an asset the captain greatly rounds and 3 finals, no batsman got the better of Shiv. His relied on and a valuable leader in the team. While every team brilliant stats of 29 wickets at 15.55 and 2.77 per over, go needs a number of leaders, the club would be lucky to have only part way to describing his importance to the team. In a Josh lead a team as captain in years to come. season of 11 one day games, Shiv embraced the challenge of bowling the final 10 overs from an end in every game, a fact As ever, Panda personifies the value of every team having a that adds perspective to what his figures might have been if he number of leaders. Panda was, once again, the heart and soul had been bowling before the slog had started. Shiv promises of the team, and a servant that the team could not succeed to be a fabulous asset to the Saints and I can’t wait to play without. While I’m sure that he would swap some of his early more cricket with him in 21/22. season runs for a big score in the finals, I’m equally sure that we wouldn’t have been in the finals without his contributions The nature of lower grade cricket saw 22 teammates play with before Christmas, performances that had him averaging over 4th grade this year and I thank all of them for their friendship 100 mid way through the season. and contribution to our success. Add the likes of Victor Strange, Joey Towerton, Harrison Brown and Billy Arena to There’s no such thing as a successful cricket team without a the list of young cricketers above, and we can be incredibly fabulous keeper, and we were certainly no exception. Blake confident in the future success that awaits our club. Kenworthy was exceptional every week, making it easy to overlook the excellence of his work behind the stumps. A final thank you to the management committee who allowed Equally important were the 208 runs he scored and the fact me the privilege of captaining a team at our great club. that so many of these runs came under enormous pressure chasing totals. Blake is intelligent, modest, reliable and Steve Wark unflappable. While he has a quiet manner, he is undeniably a valuable leader in the team, providing a fabulous example to his team mates of how the game should be played.

Being so successful this year meant that Pat Brown, playing as the 2nd spinner and no. 8 bat, was often under utilised. However, his team first attitude, meant he found a way to contribute each week. As often as not, this was through being a leader in the field, delivering wickets to others by great catches or through the pressure he built in the ring. While outwardly quiet, his leadership in running the team through the warm up each week and as the comedian with the “joke of the week”, was an essential ingredient. A return to longer form cricket will see Pat flourish next year, as he has more opportunities to demonstrate his obvious talent with bat and ball.

Unlike many of our past seasons, this one was a lot different I touched on the fighting spirit of all the boys which was in the challenges it brought, whether that be the effects of spectacularly highlighted in our second last game (two-day COVID, pushing back our pre-season/season by a month game) of the season. This was one of the most thrilling or the rain that only seemed to come by on Friday and games that I was a part of in recent times. The game seemed Saturday. Despite all this, the boys really showed great to be in our favour, where the foundation of chasing 269 character and grit, to rock up to training and game day, still was laid by Joey Towerton (86), however we were faced with having the dragon’s fighting spirit. Unfortunately for us this the reality of needing about 80 odd in 25 minutes left in season, it didn’t result in the kind of success that us Sainters the day. With five wickets in hand, the boys led a mighty are used to. Saints charge, with special performances from the ever- reliable Harrison Brown (50) and an amazing cameo from With there being 12 one day games this year and just the Bryce Chalker (38) down the order. This was complemented three two-day games, we knew our style of play and mindset by other selfless knocks from each player, to bring it to 10 had to be different. After four of the games were washed runs off one over with two wickets in hand. Going back to out, momentum was something that was difficult to build. 5pm that day, it was an opportunity where we could have This season ended with five wins, four draws and six losses, easily batted out the half an hour, taken the draw and shaken and while we tried to figure out what didn’t go our way, hands with the opposition. However, you could feel a sense we came to the conclusion that it was a season where we of ownership and a drive to take the game as deep as possible would be on top for most of the game, but lose a lot of those from everyone in the team, which was something really “small” battles. Whether we could’ve used the momentum special to be a part of. Although it didn’t have the fairy- of a strong partnership or apply that final squeeze with the tale ending that we all hoped for, losing by two runs, we ball after building pressure on the opposition, we more often were able to walk away from the game with our heads held than not, let the opportunity slip away. Key moments like high, knowing we played the game the Saints way. Credit to these are integral in shifting the game in our favour, which all the boys, as that day encompassed what we were about was a crucial learning curve for us this season. However, we as a team and a club. The way the players shouldered the can definitely be proud of how we applied ourselves and our responsibility of the situation, truly reflected the immense work ethic, as it was just another glimpse at all the potential maturity of a relatively young team. that is coming through. One of our standout players this season, as mentioned Among many things, I think the most exciting part about before, would have to be Joey Towerton who averaged 38.38. leading a group of cricketers like this, is working with all He not only provided a solid start for our batting, scoring the talent that you see come through, and even better, to see three 50s and 307 runs, but was also a swing pace bowler, a lot of those players get rewarded to higher grades due to coming on as first change, taking nine wickets at an average their performances.

Along with Harrison Brown, who Rafael MacMillan was another player that got a few games had an impressive first season himself scoring 300 runs, at to play in 3s at the back end of the season, mainly due to an average of 27.27, he very quickly settled into his role as his off-spin, although he showed he could be a menace with the hard-hitting middle order batsmen that he is.

For me, what impressed me the most about displayed his ability to be an adaptable team player, where he seeing these two excel in the higher grades, is that they were was open to try keeping, because of injury troubles affecting both playing in this year’s Green Shield team, with the latter all grades towards the back end of the season.

Walsh finished with However, this year he went one step further and jagged a mesmerising 208 off 209 balls including 15x4s and the big one … The Bill O’Reilly Medal. Yes, Player a whopping 15x6s. It broke the Sydney grade all time Of The Season along with North Sydney‘s Tom Jagot highest score for a No.8 batsman and it is the equal for the entire NSW Premier competition.

Walsh and Graham combined for a new Saints 1st grade 8th wicket partnership of 213. Finally it was 5. It’s not often a loss becomes a highlight but in Premier down to the last ball with our No.11 Tom McKenzie cricket it’s not often you make a grand final and this creaming a boundary to pass North Sydney’s huge total game did not disappoint. Over three full days the Saints of 355. Just Wow! and Manly boys scrapped it out with the ascendency changing continuously. The bowlers were relentless and 2. The 21 match unbeaten streak by our 2nd grade is now fought tooth and nail to create an unlikely victory and legendary stuff. There were dominant victories and then the batters went to work on what many thought there were tight ones, one game against Sydney even was an impossible task. All we can say is that it was a ended in a thrilling tie. Just when one thought there dazzling last session. Some unbelievable stroke play was were no ‘get out of jail’ cards remaining, these guys countered by some amazing feats in the field by the would show enormous ticker and snatch victory from Manly lads.

ur “Interviews With A OChampion” have been running in these reports for five years now and we’ve covered Josh Hazlewood, Moises Henriques, Trent Copeland, Kurtis Patterson and Nathan Ellis.

Who could qualify as our “Champion” for this edition. For mine, there was only one option. A Saints cricketer who wears his heart on his sleeve, represents the club with immense pride and who’s efforts on the field are gaining legendary status. He’s taken out the Kerry O’Keeffe Award for Player of the Season an unprecedented four years in a row and this year he went one step further and won the big one, the Bill O’Reilly Medal for the NSW Premier Cricket Player of the Year. It’s our passionate 1st grade skipper, Nick Stapleton.

Annual Report 2020–2021 55 As captain, tell us about your highlights? Nothing will go past the game against North Sydney. At 6/50 odd chasing 350 you could write your own ticket. What those at Hurstville witnessed that day is nothing short of a miracle. Andrew Walsh’s innings of 208 off 209 balls was the most brilliant innings I have ever seen and most likely will ever see. The determination and pure brute force was something to behold. Balls were flying in all directions and the closer we got to the score, the more focused Walshy became. In my opinion it has to be one of, if not the greatest innings ever played in a 1st grade match. What made it more special was the individual behind the score – someone who has dedicated his career to St George, continuously coached juniors and played every match in the right spirit. Highlights don’t come any better than this one and I Another quality season Nick, did you have any idea you feel so privileged to say I played alongside Walshy for were a chance of winning the O’Reilly Medal? it. Honestly, I had no idea. It was a complete surprise but, certainly a pleasant one. Are you motivated by statistics and are you a goal- setter?

I set personal standards in terms of how I Winning the O’Reilly Medal is clearly the highest prepare and how I expect to perform, but it’s important individual honour a grade cricketer can achieve, but for not to look much further than that in my opinion. me there is no greater achievement than being asked to captain St George. Do you feel your strength has been more about technique or being mentally strong or a mixture? Can Nick Stapleton the allrounder get better as a player? It’s definitely a mixture – you certainly need a strong technique to be able to perform, but mental strength Definitely. Anyone can improve with some hard work is just as important. Understanding different game and training. scenarios and blocking out any noise is a huge key to success.

In terms of my cricketing development both Gavan Twining and Dean Gilchrist played significant roles in helping me improve and perform at a higher level. What were you like as a junior cricketer?

Annual Report 2020–2021 57 Wo r k i n g a n d Pl a y i n g a t t h e St Ge o r g e DCC

The recent publication written for the club, “Preserving The Tradition – The Pioneers of 1921-22”, identified the vocations of the team that represented St George DCC in that first season in the top grade of district cricket 100 years ago. At that time grade cricket was played between 1.00pm and 5.30pm with players able to work in the morning and play cricket in the afternoon.

A review of the vocations reveals players who worked for the Sydney City Council as a health officer, Ted Adams, Pat Fox a railway worker who rose to organise the Sydney Rail network timetables, Des Mullarkey who was a ‘clerk’ but found time to be a SP bookmaker and Frank Cush and Horace Harper accountants. One player, Alan Fairfax, did not have a job. The reason, he was still at school.

Back when the St George DCC was established in 1911-12 there were players that held down positions in organisations that saw them work for decades. Harry Donnan, the former NSW, and Australian player was an accountant at CSR for over 45 years. Founding father Les Blackshaw was a lawyer who also found time to be the Hurstville Mayor and the Barter boys, Milton and Harold were early retailers in the Hurstville area. The team circa 1993 at Warren Saunders Insurance, There were always ‘salesmen’ peddling their wares.

After a short stint in the country, he was back in Sydney teaching, following approaches by some prominent cricket officials and the Director of Education in NSW. John Rodgers was also a teacher before a period in Western Australia as a cricket administrator and recently a cricket centre in Victoria with some writing thrown in. A teacher with many theories on cricket, life and education was Vic Cristofani. Jon Jobson, the club’s former chief executive, spent many years in education, so too did Murray Bennett before he had a career change. When it comes to vocations with a cricket association we find at the top of the list Steve Bernard, selector and Australian team manager. Then there is Richard Done with coaching and development significant parts of his life and David Moore, West Indian cricket coach amongst his appointments and now a NSW cricket administrator.
