Increase Your Profits and Deliver Savings to Tenants As an Exempt Deepdene Bears Cricket Club Annual Report 2016/2017 The 9 7 t h Annual Report and Financial Statement Submitted to the Annual General Meeting Monday 22 May 2017 Pa g e 1 of 4 0 Deepdene Bears CC 1 ) DEEPDENE BEARS CRICKET CLUB The Deepdene Bears Cricket Club is proud to be affiliated with the Eastern Cricket Association. We fielded four teams in the turf competition and 6 junior teams in the ECA this season. We extend our thanks and congratulations to the umpires and the tireless volunteers of the ECA who ensure that we all get on the park. At the other end of the scale we have 2 teams in the Veterans Division of the ECA competition that started this season. You will note that this is the 97th annual report. Our playing facilities are provided by the City of Boroondara and we thank the staff for their professionalism and assistance. We are a community club and we provide a resource that enables both the wider community and the citizens of Boroondara to participate in the great game of cricket. Our sponsors are: Deepdene Bears Cricket Club is a Level 3 accredited Good Sports club. The Good Sports program is an initiative of the Australian Drug Foundation (ADF) to develop safer and healthier communities. The program helps sporting clubs manage alcohol responsibly and reduce alcohol related problems such as binge and underage drinking. Displaying the Good Sports logo sends an important message to club members and the community. It confirms that the club promotes a responsible attitude towards alcohol and that it provides a safe environment for players, members, families and supporters. Pa g e 2 of 4 0 Deepdene Bears CC 2 ) HISTORY Deepdene is the oldest continuously playing Club in the Eastern Cricket Association. Each year we play Canterbury (when they are in Dunstan) for the Boroondara Cup. This award was instituted during the centenary year of the ECA when we played for the honour on the Camberwell Sports Ground. The Deepdene Bears Cricket Club is fast approaching its "Century Season". Fortunately a considerable effort over many seasons has seen the documentation of many individual, grade, team & club records. In addition, the club’s foundation in 1920 has been pieced together using local papers of the time (Hawthorn & Camberwell Citizen) and where possible pictures and memorabilia from the descendants of past players. We have been very fortunate to have a copy of the 1924/25 premiership photo donated to the Club which now forms part of our historical collection in the Sturgess Pavilion at Deepdene Park. By way of background, the Deepdene Cricket Club was very strongly linked to the Deepdene Congregational Church, which was once located on the corner of Whitehorse Road and Leonard Street where the Winning Edge now stands. The club began as a social team before forming in August 1921 and played in a paddock in Norbett Street, Balwyn in 1921 and then at Deepdene Park from 1923 on land donated by Mr Alexander MacNeil. Deepdene Park officially opened in August 1924. The area was still developing in the 1920s with many new estates being built in Deepdene/Balwyn yet much of the area north of Gordon Street still existed as open spaces, paddocks, chicken runs and dairies. Today the suburb and surrounding areas are well established, as is the cricket club. One of the great milestones occurred in 1996 when North Kew Cricket Club, who had the Bears as their emblem, merged with the Deepdene Cricket Club bringing with them their own rich oral history. As exemplified by the statistical chronicle Wisdene, Deepdene maintains a strong written history. Many of the North Kew scorebooks were lost in a disaster (fire, flood or divorce depending on who you speak to) so we have to rely on history being passed on from generation to generation. In the same way that this is a valid tradition in indigenous society, it is fun to corner a North Kew elder so that he can evoke stories of the dream time when as Box Hill Districts they played in the Eastern Suburbs Cricket Association as the top team in A Matting. In the ESCA, North Kew first XI hovered around the B/C Turf grades and at one stage had the most feared attack in C Turf. The strong junior program from North Kew is the basis for today’s junior Bears activities. Pa g e 3 of 4 0 Deepdene Bears CC 3 ) SECRETARY’S REPORT – JAMES PATERSON It was a season of change for the Bears with a number of very high profile, influential club stalwarts leaving the field with the retirements of Leigh Parsons, Daniel and Luke Sturgess. Shaun Beattie also left to coach with his school leaving the Club to plan the transition to the next generation of coaching and on-field leadership. The 1XI were well led by Danny O’Shea with Andrew Zaicos and Paul Walter assisting him. Thanks to the ECA’s change of format with 8 team grades, the 1XI were in Wright Shield, which was a very high standard with no easy games. The fortunes of the 1XI fluctuated with the form of Walts and Danny in particular with some great wins, punctuated by some disappointing losses which generally included batting collapses. The efforts of Walts, both on-field but also with exceptional teaching/advice off-field were fantastic and we were lucky to have a player with his ability and character around the Club. Watching some of his innings was a treat enjoyed by all except the Glen Iris bowlers. The 2XI led this season by James Lindsay had a side that were expected to struggle, given the loss of senior players but ultimately should have made the finals. The team with Linds with Oli and a few other senior players leading from the front were very competitive. Linds leant a lot in his first season as skipper and with a core of younger players we look forward to improvements from the team. The 3XI very well organized and led by George (except for the length of time to bowl 40/72 overs), played a lot of younger players and were very competitive. The lack of depth in batting across the Club told in the end and a 2XI that was in the wrong grade ended up beating us and winning the flag. Well done to George for his handling of some difficult situations including explaining to LaTrobe the new rule (they know the Rules G) that ultimately resulted in George not batting one night (Dunny did). The 4XI Mark Warner, in his first season as a turf player, established a strong culture in their team, mixing a core of senior players with youth. Mark led from the front with bat, gloves and organisational skills and they would have made the finals except for the lack of depth across the Club to replace missing players. Phil Dunmill inc co-ordinated the juniors very well as per usual with others assisting and made a few runs as well to prove to Nick/Alex that he has some idea which end of the bat to hold. The Committee also worked hard to arrange great dinners, social events including the Neale Daniher MND night and bar service at both venues and a big thank you to all involved, particularly Wolfie/Polly/Mel. As usual, challenges will emerge for next season like MORE ECA rule changes, turf at Straddy, holes in covers, turf review, etc, and more help can always be used particularly with covers. Thank you to Matt and Dunny for all the unofficial support. Pa g e 4 of 4 0 Deepdene Bears CC PRESIDENT’S REPORT – JASON DONOVAN Dear Deepdene Bears Community The 2016/17 season was one of change and development. Our off-field leadership changed hands, with a number of new members welcomed to the Committee. James Lindsay, Mel Braoudakis, Jeremy Quin & Oli Scheiber all joined on to take a role in leading the Club forward, with fresh ideas and enthusiasm. Our on- field leadership took on new shape with Andrew Zaicos leading from the front as Head Coach, while Danny O’Shea took the reins of the First XI and first time captain James Lindsay stepped up in the role of Second XI skipper. In all, four senior, two veterans and six junior teams represented the Deepdene Bears throughout the season. Although the ultimate success wasn’t achieved across the Club – our U16 team won the ECA T20 competition - two junior teams played in Grand Finals, while both Vets teams fell at the Semi-Final stage. The continued development of our young cricketers is exciting to see and we continue to strive for the right mix between the older brigade and the younger generation to lead the Club to return to Dunstan Shield as well as premiership success across all teams. We remain determined to achieve these goals with the support of the Coach, Captains, Junior Coordinators and Chairman of Selectors. Our ongoing negotiations with the City of Boroondara on the proposed relocation of the Club’s senior matches from Deepdene Park to Stradbroke Park North is my number one priority moving forward. It is unfortunately a long and tedious exercise, but one that we as a committee are fully supportive. Talks have recently re-started in this space, and I endeavour to provide you all with updates as the year progresses. Personally, I look forward to the day when we have all Senior teams playing cricket at Stradbroke Park on Saturday afternoons. This outcome will bring about a multitude of advantages, leading the Club to - and many years passed - its centenary season in the 2019/20.

In the absence of any Second XI cricket and the One Day Cup competition, the Bob Willis Trophy reports have been expanded to include a write up for each day’s play as well as the full scorecards. Sadly all fixtures were played behind closed doors so hopefully these extended reports will enable readers to get the feeling of actually being at the game! In addition, the Somerset Women’s team reports plus the Boys and Girls Pathway write ups are included in the first half of the book as they now come under the remit of Somerset CCC rather than the Somerset Cricket Board.

  • Review of the 2020 1St XI Season
    Review of the 2020 1st XI Season A truncated season was better than no season at all. The Essex League decided to try and make the divisions more localised and we ended up in a division where only Hutton and ourselves were the only non-premier division sides. No dressing rooms, no teas and six over “sanitisation breaks” gave the matches a surreal feeling. We started off with the visit of Colchester who put us to the sword after having them at 19-3, eventually losing by 75 runs. Our next game was away to Harold Wood. A competitive score of 182-5 meant nothing as the game had to be abandoned due to prolonged rain. Our score was the second highest in 1st XI cricket there during the season (beaten only by Hornchurch in the last match of the season) in the SIX home matches that they had. We then lost at Billericay by 80 runs, due to a chanceless 166 not out by Essex player Paul Walter on a dead pitch before getting our only victory of the season at home to Hornchurch, winning by one wicket with one ball to spare, bringing an enormous cheer from those present. The game against local rivals Hutton only lasted ten balls before being washed out. We then played Buckhurst Hill at home where another Essex player, Cameron Delport, smashed 118 from just 65 balls as we lost by 91 runs. Our last three matches were against the sides that had finished second, first and third in the premier league last season and were occupying the top three positions in this division.

  • Essex CCC Player Pathway Frequently Asked Questions
    Essex CCC Player Pathway Frequently Asked Questions: Introduction to the Multiple Entry Point Pathway: As a County, we pride ourselves on the fact that we won the County Championship in 2017 with a large percentage of home-grown players. As such, our multiple entry point pathway depicts the process for a player of any age to progress to play professional cricket for the County. There are examples of players who have progressed through the system from the age of ten in Daniel Lawrence and Aaron Beard, but there are also examples of players who have joined the pathway at different points in Jamie Porter, Paul Walter, Nick Browne and Sam Cook. Through our present coaching and scouting structure, we endeavour to select the players with the most potential at any level to ensure that we keep enabling home grown talent the opportunity to perform at the highest level. Eagles Nests: Coaching camps for Under 9’s and Under 10’s. Players can be nominated onto these camps by clubs and schools or alternatively parents can book their children on. There is no limit to the amount of camps that players can attend. These camps are led by Essex County Performance coaches. Primary Development Group: From the Eagles Nest programme, players can be invited onto the Primary Development Group which focuses more on player development through further game based activity. These sessions run through the summer. District Under 11: Five districts each run trials to select their Under 11 squads. These squads then partake in a match programme against each other through the summer.

    Minutes of the Annual General Meeting held via video conference on Thursday 22 September 2020 Present Mr J L Faragher (Chairman), Mr I Patterson (Treasurer), Mr P Northfield (Deputy Chairman), Mr D Bowden (Chief Executive) and 171 Members of the Club 1. Welcome and apologies for absence The Chairman announced that we dreamed, we dared, we delivered. We are one, this is Team Essex. He wished all a good evening, welcomed everyone to the 2020 Annual General Meeting (AGM) and advised that the apologies for absence had been recorded. 2. Minutes of the Annual General Meeting held on 09 April 2019 The Chairman advised that the minutes, which had been previously circulated, were taken as read. The minutes were duly agreed to be signed as a true record of the meeting. 3. Chairman’s Report The Chairman noted it was strange to be talking about the 2019 season as we approached the end of our severely bruised and damaged 2020 campaign. He thanked the Members for their patience and acceptance of the situation. Covid 19 had an unprecedented impact on the global economy and the lives of thousands of people. At Essex County Cricket Club, our thoughts were with those Members, supporters and friends who had lost loved ones during the crisis. On a business front at the Club, there had been many changes. It had not been easy and in going forward, tough decisions would have to be taken, the Chairman assured he had every confidence that together, we would come through this crisis and be prepared for cricket next season.
