PRESIDENT’S REPORT 2018/19
PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE
Welcome to the 93rd Annual Report for the Hornsby Ku-ring-gai Hills District Cricket Association (HKHDCA) with 16 clubs and 2 Associations (umpires and Coaches) affiliated to our Association. Our Association fielded 65 senior teams and 132 junior teams, 123 boys and 9 girls teams.
Cricket plays an extremely important part in the life of many people, young and old regardless of our gender. In a world where work and play are difficult to balance, cricket continues to play an important part in providing a healthy and social sport within our community. To all those who played our great game at club and/or representative level and to those who volunteered in some respect to allow games to occur, we thank you for your contribution to another great season.
The Association exists because of our affiliated clubs who provide the opportunities for players of all ages to enjoy this game we love. In the 2018/19 season, we have implemented changes to the game based on the ideas of club members to improve the game and meet the current needs of players and supporters. However, this work does not have an end and we continue to have competition for players from other sports. With this in mind, the Association recognizes the need for strategic plans aimed at growing cricket within our boundaries in line with population growth.
THE 2018/19 SEASON
JUNIOR CLUB COMPETITION
This season saw the establishment of the Junior Cricket Committee with 9 clubs represented across the association led by Rob Hanich. Their leadership of this important and complex competition was critical to the successful improvements to competition rules, noting junior cricket needs to adapt itself in an environment where parents have a number of choices of sports for their child. Some of these sports are enjoying growth, specifically those requiring shorter times to complete a game and cricket is not achieving similar growth in player numbers compared to the increases in population within our clubs. Charles Darwin said it best ‘It is not the most intellectual of the species that survives; it is not the strongest that survives; but the species that survives is the one that is able to adapt to and to adjust best to the changing environment in which it finds itself’.
Junior team numbers were very similar to the prior season and highlights the need to continue to adapt junior cricket to meet the needs of parents and players. We congratulate all the teams who made the semi-finals and special recognition to those who won their respective age groups. Whilst we had high expectations for all teams playing in the finals, unfortunately the heavy rain caused all finals games to be washed out and winners and runes up were decided based on the position on the ladder.
Some 123 teams from U8’s to U16’s participated in the nine age groups offered, and in the competition age groups, the premierships were spread across 5 clubs, with the U16’s won by Hornsby, U15’s by Kissing Point, U13’s by West Pennant Hills Cherrybrook Red, U12’s by Kenthurst Upper Hills, and U11’s by Hornsby Gold.
The Champion Club within the Junior Competition was won by Hornsby District C.C.
GIRLS CRICKET
Our Association proudly recognizes the need to grow girls’ cricket and thanks to the work of club volunteers, our association enjoyed more girls than ever playing cricket each weekend with 9 teams in each competition. As an Association we will continue to seek more clubs to establish and develop girls’ cricket as we see it an important part of our overall growth in player numbers.
Another way for our Association to grow girls cricket players numbers is the focus on schools’ programs to girls only schools this coming season. We believe it will be an important factor in achieving a healthy cross section of clubs participating in our girl’s competition.
PRESIDENT’S REPORT 2018/19 (continued)
REPRESENTATIVE COMPETITIONS
For those players who seek to play at a higher level than club, the HKHDCA representative program continues to provide the pathway to continue to grow their skills against other Association teams.
Our players in both Shield and IDCA teams again represented the Association very well with Creak, Moore, Weblin and Watson unable to make the semi-finals. Special mention to the Gee team who played in the semi-finals and to the Cawsey team who lost in the finals.
Playing at this level of However, it is not all about winning, much more the opportunity to experience the next level of competition and gain from that experience to develop the skills necessary to continue the progress.
Our Mollie Dive (U13’s) and Margaret Peden Shield (Under 15 Girls) continue to improve home their skills at the higher levels with some achieving selection in the Northern District grade club.
In the IDCA Representative competition our Association fielded 9 teams from U10’s to U16’s. The U10’s finished th5 , U11’s 4th (Blue) and 9th (Red), U12’s 10th, U13’s 3rd (Red) and 9th (Blue), U14’s 3rd, U15’s 5t and U16’s 8th place.
SENIOR CRICKET
Congratulations to the Berowra Cricket Club who won the Association Club Championship Award for the 2018/19 season and reflects their overall team performance at all grades. The A grade final was played between Berowra and Hornsby at Mark Taylor Oval with Berowra batting first and building a formidable total 343, which proved to be an impossible task to achieve and Berowra were worthy winners of the T.E Rofe Challenge Shield.
The Berowra Cricket Club certainly enjoyed a very successful season winning 4 finals. Congratulations to the winners of all remaining grades, namely Berowra (A2), Berowra (B1), Galston Glenorie (B2), Berowra (C1), WPHC (C2), WPHC (C3), Kissing Point (D1) and Kenthurst Upper Hills (D2).
The Senior Competition Committee (SCC) led by Gavin Wingfield introduced a numerous improvements to the competition based on a process of listened to the needs of clubs and players and meeting those needs. It is a testament to the SCC that a small number of players needed to have their ratings reviewed and limited numbers teams being regraded. Gavin Wingfield has signalled his intention to step down from the position of Senior Competition Secretary at the end of this season and I would like to take this opportunity on behalf of the Association to thank him for the outstanding work he has provided over 7 years in this role.
THANK YOU
I wish to thank everyone who volunteered their time whether at club or representative level. Your contribution whether committee member, coach, manager, umpire, scorer or other roles has contributed in no small way to the successful season we all have enjoyed.
Special thanks must go to the people who attend Association Council meetings, to our Junior and Senior Competition Committees, Umpires Association, Coaches Association and to the HKDHCA Executive. Your time and efforts to deliver great experiences for players is a testament to your dedication for this great game and I thank you.

OUR AFFILIATED BODIES
Our association is very well served by two very important and active groups who contribute significantly to the operation of our Association.
HKHDCCA
The Coaches’ Association continues to provide an important cricket development program to the junior girls and boys in our Association. Their programs delivered in school holiday programs provide excellent opportunities for current and new players to build their skills and have fun.
The Coaches Association similarly provides an amazing opportunity for some of our best cricketers to learn coaching skills and teach younger players the skills of this great game. We see the Coaches Association playing an important part in the future of developing our club players and coaches as well as being an important part of our schools program, aimed at recruiting players prior to registration time.
This year the Coaches Association led anotherU15 team on a successful international cricket tour to India. Playing games against a number of other cricket academies, the players represented our Association extremely well and demonstrated their talent and capability in very different conditions. Thank you Bruce Wood for leading this tour and the Coaches Association for another successful year.
HKHDCUA
The Umpires’ association has a proud and distinguished history of serving our Association at club level (junior and senior) and at representative level. Their reputation for quality is well known and respected by many including Cricket NSW. The Umpires Association continue to welcome new umpires who graduate from the NSWCUSA Umpire Courses and with their passion for cricket are extremely well regarded by players.
Another service the Umpires Association provides is the Captains ticket, an important component of our game to ensure depth of knowledge of the rules of cricket. It is clear this course improves the quality of games at all grades by increasing specific knowledge of the rules.
Many thanks to the Training Group of the Umpires Association, led by Barry MacDonald, for the standard of their programs, their good humour in answering the most incredible questions from our aspiring captains, coaches and players.
Thank you to Scott Reid for his leadership of the Coaches Association and to all the umpires who served our Association, we are indeed fortunate to have this fantastic group of people contributing to our games. The Umpires Association continues to grow in number and this will facilitate even more games to have a ‘black and white’ at their games.
NORTHERN DISTRICT CRICKET CLUB
Our Association has a long and proud record of providing talented players to the Northern District Cricket Club. Some start in the Green Shield or move into lower grade cricket and our players represent a significant number in each grade including 1st grade. This pathway into a local grade cricket club is important for our players to aspire to with both the HKHDCA and NDCC recognising the important link we share to the future of cricket in the area.

OUR SPONSORS
KOOKABURRA SPORT
The Kookaburra name is synonymous with Australian sport and has established itself as the No. 1 Australian sports brand worldwide.
Its association with sport originated from cricket, and by the 1920’s the brand was established as one of the leading hand- made cricket ball manufacturers.
Today, Kookaburra is the official red ball supplier to seven test playing nations and is the supplier for all white ball international cricket and the major T20 competitions.
Kookaburra also supplies and supports numerous grassroots cricket associations in Australia and around the world, producing over 500,000 cricket balls per year.
We at HK&HDCA are privileged to be supported by Kookaburra as has been the case since 2004-5 season.
Kookaburra is the only remaining cricket ball manufacturer to oversee their entire production process in Australia.
HORNSBY RSL
The club provides our association with excellent facilities for our meetings throughout the year, and our major functions, presentation nights, Annual General Meeting and various other seminar venues to enable our association to carry on its activities.
The variety and size of the various facilities is unmatched in our area and thus our relationship with the Hornsby RSL Club is of exceptional value to us and it is essential that we, in turn, support this cooperation.
It is most appropriate that we acknowledge the invaluable assistance of Kate Brock, the Functions Manager, whose enthusiasm and positive response to our every request ensures that we are well provided for, no matter the size or significance of the event.
Our most significant event of the year, the Junior and Representative Presentation night was again held in the Showroom this year, a venue unchallenged for an event of this size. Kate and Gatsby and the team work diligently to set up the room to facilitate our showpiece evening.
With the refurbishing/modifications that continue to raise the standard of the facilities of the club, you are urged to support the sponsorship outside of the association events throughout the year and enjoy the exceptional facilities of the club.
LOCAL GOVERNMENT REPORTS
The importance of the association’s relationship with each of the three councils with whom we work is critical to our ongoing sustainability and rely upon their planning, maintenance and balancing of the use of the community facilities within our boundaries.
The ever-increasing demands made upon these facilities by both summer and winter sports is a balancing act within which we operate and will continue to support through a greater involvement of our clubs as “caretakers”, taking a specific interest in the well being of the facilities within their geographic boundaries.
It is essential that we, as an association, and as individual clubs, cooperate fully with the respective councils by seeking grants to assist them with the expenses involved in the maintenance and renewal of these facilities.
HORNSBY SHIRE COUNCIL (HSC):
HSC provide the association with some 20 synthetic wickets throughout the summer season on a full day basis, with an additional 6 wickets on a half day basis, shared with other sporting bodies.
The council operations staff have continued to undertake refurbishing work for several grounds during the season. Further work has been carried out and will continue, with our contributions through grants being essential in our partnership with HSC.
We again thank the amazing efforts of HSC staff in presenting our Association with top quality wickets and the standard was greatly appreciated by our A grade players.
KU-RING-GAI COUNCIL:
The facilities provided by Ku-Ring-Gai Council add some 12 synthetic pitches and 2 turf wickets , and again, we are thankful to the KMC staff for their cooperation in the presentation and maintenance of these grounds.
We are working with council to refurbish a number of grounds over the next few seasons and once again, some responsibility falls upon us to research grants opportunities to assist with the council’s costs.
THE HILLS SHIRE COUNCIL:
Our relationship with Hills Shire Council will change in 2019-2020 when we away from Club based bookings back to Association based bookings. We utilised some 11 synthetic wickets in the Hills Shire, and our one turf pitch at Kenthurst Oval, expertly prepared by HSA Landscapes, specifically, Matt Boorer, to whom we give our applause for the quality of the square.
We are meeting with the Hills staff, to develop greater involvement and cooperation in the maintenance and development of facilities in the shire.
OTHER GROUNDS:
Whilst the vast majority of our grounds are provided by local councils for their constituents, we also rely on local schools to make their cricket pitches available to our Association. We have been actively seeking to rejuvenate the pitches at Cherrybrook public School and Northholm so that we continue to facilitate the growth of cricket in our Association. Special thanks to Barker College for the use of their amazing turf facility for our representative games.
UMPIRES ASSOCIATION (HKHDCUA)

Claire also advised that the NSWCUSA was in a sound financial position and membership fees would be staying the same. They hold a number of training courses on the laws of cricket. Scott thanked Claire for her attendance and informative talk. Training Programs Geoff and Barry conducted the annual Captain’s Ticket Course which was well supported by the senior cricketers.

Special coaching session HK&HDCA club coaches – The Coaches' Association was pleased to conduct a free Coach the Coaches professional development session at James Park, Hornsby on Sunday, 9 September 2018. A total of 38 club coaches attended this special coaching instructional session (see photo below), led by HKHDCCA Head Coach, Rod Hokin (Level 3 accredited), who was well supported by Josh Miller, Bruce Wood, Daniel Anderson and Daniel Wood. Rod expertly overlapped this coaching session with a 2-hour coaching program for the HK&HDCA Girls rep. teams (23 players).

HK&HDCA also had players selected for the CNSW U14 Cricket Academy. They were: Aliyia Colburt and Sahana Anand.
HKHDCA has established links with Northern Districts Women’s Grade Cricket Club to give our female players aged 12/13 and up further coaching, playing and development opportunities in the Brewers Cup and continuing to 3rd, 2nd and 1st Grade as they age. Last year was the first time a number of our representative girls played for ND’s in the U15 Brewers competition.
The development of girls’ cricket in our association has only been able to happen due to the support and contribution provided by parents and volunteers. Special thanks to Graham Chivers and Michael Hungerford for creating the platform from which we are now growing.
Northern District Cricket Club Report
Another wonderful season for the Club … Every season has its features and highlights, and the 2018/19 season had some really very special aspects to it. Five achievements stand out: • our Green Shield-winning U16 boys became State Champions for the first time; • our Women’s 2nd grade won the Premiership – for the first time ever; • the growth in our women’s numbers – we doubled women’s player numbers this season; • we won the Women’s Spirit of Cricket Award and finished second in the Men’s Spirit of Cricket; the Club plays cricket “the right way”;
• we have secured the future of our beloved Mark Taylor Oval as a cricketing Centre of Excellence. The State Championship-winning Green Shield team
The team that won the Green Shield (for the first time in 40 years) and then the U16 State Championship exemplifies everything that NDs and HKHDCA have worked together on in recent years. Many people – coaches, managers, administrators – have played a role in these players’ development at rep and club level over many years; I hope you all enjoyed seeing these boys succeed. It is rewarding for all who are connected with cricket to see local juniors achieving their best and it is a reminder of how well young players are looked after on that local pathway. We look forward to their ongoing development at the Club.
The growth in Women’s cricket was really pleasing. We had two teams in the new SCA U15s as well as two Brewers Cup (U18) teams. There is real momentum in our Women’s teams, and that culminated with a great result in the 2nd Grade premiership. Where once we faced relocation from Mark Taylor Oval, we now have a bright future. A grand plan for future of the Oval, proposed by the Club in 2018, was well-supported by Hornsby MP Matt Kean and the State Government. We are now looking forward to transforming the Oval in the next few years into a modern facility which will become a hub for cricket in Sydney’s north, a cricketing centre of excellence which can host Women’s International fixtures. With a total makeover of the playing surface, a new pavilion, new scoreboard, rejuvenated turf nets and a new indoor centre, the playing and training facilities will be up there – as they should be – with the best suburban ovals in Sydney. NDs has a very strong and rich history. We are extremely active in programs that benefit players, members and the community. Some clubs aren’t interested in grassroots cricket … but NDs certainly is. It is our aim to get every player playing to the best of their ability and get them to the next level at every opportunity. We hope that every local junior aspires to play Premier cricket at NDCC. Congratulations to all at HKHDCA - administrators and players - on a wonderful 2018/19 season. NDs are glad to have such a strong and well-run association in its backyard. Let’s do it all again together in 2019/20!
Jeremy Hook President, NDCC

Once again, thanks must go to Hornsby Shire, Ku-ring-gai Shire and Baulkham Hills Shire councils for their ongoing support of Junior cricket. I would also like to thank the Principals of Cherrybrook Public, Hornsby Heights Public, Thornleigh West Public, Gilroy College and West Pennant Hills Public. These schools are doing us a favour by providing their grounds each week, so please respect their ways and requests and please keep the area clean. I would also like to thank the umpires for their hard work in the semi’s & finals. A difficult job well done, especially given the total wash out of all grand finals. I would like to thank all managers, coaches and parents for their part in making it all happen for their cricketers. Finally, to all the players, well played I'll see you all next year.

JOHN HAYNE CHALLENGE CUP
The John Hayne Cup (named after the former Hon. Secretary and President) has been contested since 1989/90. All teams which fail to make the semi-finals each season are eligible to compete on the two Saturdays of the semi-finals.
This season only four teams took part – three from Castle Hill RSL and one from West Pennant Hills – Cherrybrook.
Castle Hill (White) with three wins and a draw gained 20 points and won from Castle Hill (Red) with 15 points. The matches were played as T20s on Hewson and Mimosa Ovals, commencing at 1’00 p.m. and 3’45 p.m. each day. All teams were given a handicap, based on the ratings of their 11 players (see Section H of the Playing Rules).
For the Premiers the ‘star’ player was Matthew Hungerford who hit the highest score, 35 runs, of the tournament and took 3 wickets for 5 runs (including the hat trick) in another match.
It is hoped that many more teams will enter the competition in 2019/20.
A GRADE FINAL - UMPIRES REPORT
Berowra vs Hornsby at Mark Taylor Oval
Berowra won the toss and elected to bat on a very good wicket. Scott Griffin looked good in scoring 21 before he fell to a superb diving catch at mid-wicket. At lunch, the Hornsby bowlers had reduced Berowra to 3/47 off 30.4 overs. Grant Morris and Andrew Rayner then combined for a partnership of 67 before Rayner fell for 41. Excellent partnerships with Morris being the rock of the innings before the skipper, Jack Smallhorn batted well with the last few wickets. Every partnership was valuable with 35 for the 5th wicket, 29 for the 6th, 47 for the 7th, 45 for the 8th, 40 for the 9th and finally 33 for the last wicket. The final total was 343 in 147 overs. Grant Morris with a wonderful knock of 102 having batted for 104 overs was the mainstay with Jack Smallhorn scoring 79. The Hornsby bowlers toiled hard but could extract nothing from the wicket. Chris Easy bowled a massive 30 overs taking 1/64. Chris Walker being the best of the bowlers with 2/30 off 16 overs. Hornsby had nothing to lose and came out swinging but at tea were 4/40 and Captain, Michael Solling conceded. Joe Leighton bowled 3 overs at great pace and extracted a fair amount of lift taking 3 wickets for 2 runs. Hornsby were not disgraced in this game. Their bowlers tried their hearts out and were backed up by superb fielding on the first day. A couple of dropped catches on day 2 were costly. Berowra won the premiership for the 3rd year running and remained undefeated this season being well lead by Jack Smallhorn.
Umpires: Steve Hill and Simon Moore.
SENIOR COMPETITION REPORT 2018-19
T20
The 2018/19 season kicked off with our usual T20 competition with 41 teams from 14 Clubs spread across 5 grades.
Unfortunately wet weather impacted the semi- finals with 6 of the 10 matches washed out together with St Ives forfeiting their match against Berowra.
The finals saw West Pennant Hills Cherrybrook, 6/199, easily account for Berowra, 9/167, in 1st Grade whilst Berowra, 1/84, chased down Normanhurst-Warrawee’s 10/81 with plenty of overs to spare in 2nd Grade. 3rd Grade saw Berowra restrict Sydney Lions to 9/94 before knocking off the required runs for the loss of 3 wickets. In the closest match of the finals, Thornleigh’s 4th Grade side successfully defended their 10/132 with Kissing Point falling 3 runs short at 7/129. Thornleigh, 5/71, weren’t able to complete the double in 5th Grade with Kissing Point, 6/72, reaching the target in the 14th over.
Senior Saturday Competition
The Saturday Competition saw 5 fewer teams then 2017/18 with 65 teams from 16 Clubs making up the 9 Grades. This resulted in 3 6 team competitions, A2, D & D2 Grades, together with B2 being a 7 team competition.
Following on from recommendations received from Clubs during the pre-season matches were reduced to 70 overs per day, 35 overs a side for One-Day matches, together with the trial of a 14th man for C Grade and below. The “Heat Rule” was also clarified together with the Loss of Playing time in order to remove any ambiguity.
All grades finished the season with any one of 5 or 6 teams pushing for a top four finish heading in to the final round of the competition.
In the end the semi-finalists were as follows:
A Grade – Berowra 1st, Hornsby 2nd, Glenorie 3rd & West Pennant Hills 4th
A2 Grade – West Pennant Hills 1st, Berowra 2nd, SKLPS 3rd & Hornsby 4th
B Grade – West Pennant Hills Red 1st, Berowra 2nd, SKLPS 3rd & Normanhurst-Warrawee 4th
B2 Grade – Berowra 1st, Glenorie 2nd, West Pennant Hills 3rd & Hornsby 4th
C Grade – Berowra 1st, Kissing Point 2nd, Sydney Lions 3rd & Hornsby 4th
C2 Grade – West Pennant Hills Blue 1st, Glenorie 2nd, Beecroft rd3 & St Ives 4th
C3 Grade – West Pennant Hills 1st, Berowra 2nd, Kissing Point 3rd & Thornleigh 4th
D Grade – St Ives 1st, Kissing Point 2nd, West Pennant Hills 3rd & Hornsby 4th
D2 Grade – Thornleigh 1st, Kenthurst 2nd, Kissing Point 3rd & Hornsby 4th
Once again wet weather had an impact on the semi- finals with a number of matches being reduced due to lost time.
A Grade saw Glenorie bow out to Hornsby whilst West Pennant Hills were unlucky to have their match against Berowra abandoned for a draw. In A2 West Pennant Hills drew with Hornsby with Berowra also drawing with SKLPS. B Grade had West Pennant Hills Red draw with Normanhurst-Warrawee whilst SKLPS went down to Berowra in a low scoring match. B2 saw Berowra secure a draw with Hornsby whilst Glenorie batted West Pennant Hills out of the match for a draw. C Grade had Berowra account for Hornsby whilst Kissing Point held on for the draw against Sydney Lions. In C2 West Pennant Hills Blue drew with St Ives and Glenorie beat Beecroft. C3 saw West Pennant Hills draw with Thornleigh and Berowra roll Kissing point. D Grade had St Ives go down to a spirited Hornsby with Kissing Point defeating West Pennant Hills. D2 finished with Thornleigh holding on for a draw against Hornsby whilst Kenthurst overcame Kissing Point.
SENIOR COMPETITION REPORT 2018-19 (continued)
The A Grade grand final was played at Mark Taylor Oval with Berowra 10/343 batting Hornsby out of the match to secure their third successive Premiership. In A2 Grade Berowra, 3/203, chased down West Pennant Hills’ 198 to win back to back premierships. The B Grade grand final was a seesawing affair with West Pennant Hills Red & Berowra both looking to be in control at various points before Berowra prevailed for the win. B2 saw Glenorie outplay Berowra in a low scoring match to secure the flag whilst in C Grade Berowra dominated Kissing Point for an outright win & the premiership.
C2 Grade was a nail biting affair with West Pennant Hills Blue, 9/116, just holding on for the draw against Glenorie's 10/157. C3 was another low scoring match which saw West Pennant Hills successfully defend 119 by bowling out Berowra for 98. D Grade saw Kissing Point,3/67, easily chase down Hornsby’s 66 whilst D2 saw Kenthurst 8/159 scrape home over Thornleigh, 10/154.
This left the following teams as 2018/19 Premiers:
A Grade - Berowra
A2 Grade – Berowra
B Grade – Berowra
B2 Grade – Glenorie
C Grade – Berowra
C2 Grade – West Pennant Hills Cherrybrook Blue
C3 Grade – West Pennant Hills Cherrybrook
D Grade – Kissing Point
D2 Grade – Kenthurst Upper Hills

Firstly congratulations to the players & volunteers who enabled the competition to run as smoothly as it did whilst providing an avenue for everyone of us to participate in the sport we love. I would like to thank all the members of the SCC for giving up their time and providing invaluable support through their experience and points of view to enable the Senior Competition to operate. Special mention to Gavin Wingfield who has not only undertaken the role of Secretary but also managed the role of D & D Chair for a vast number of seasons, William White for his invaluable support whilst coming to grips with his role as Executive Officer and lastly to John Klingberg for his continued support in managing the “back end” of the competition with ratings, audits, etc.
As an Association we should also thank the recreational staff of the three Councils who have again prepared some fantastic wickets for us this season, battling the weather both wet and extreme heat. The councils understanding of the challenges we face, and ours of theirs, is incredibly important and I thank them for understanding and accepting apologies when things didn’t quite go according to plan.
To the Umpires’ Association, once again thank you for providing high quality officials when & where they were required and to Scott Reid for his assistance in tidying up the playing rules for this season. As usual Barry McDonald & his team provided a high standard of training & testing for our latest captains, ensuring that they had a sound understanding of both the MCC Laws & Local Playing Rules.
Geoff Silver.

HKHDCA JUNIOR REPRESENTATIVE SECRETARYS REPORT
2018-19
As many of you would be aware, Cricket Australia has introduced its Pathway program which has resulted in many changes in junior cricket. U10 Foster Shield and U11 Creak Shield have been phased out, and moving forward it is likely the U16 Watson Shield will also no longer be running. As Junior Rep Sec I believe junior representative cricket is still important, and therefore we have continued to select an U10 team to participate in the U11 IDCA competition. Likewise we have selected two U11 squads which will also participate in the IDCA competition Whilst the U10 Foster Shield competition did not run this season, we selected an equivalent team which then competed in the U11 IDCA competition. This team was very competitive and placed 4th in this division. U11 Creak Shield placed 3rd this year in their division and unfortunately did not qualify for quarter finals. This team had some tight matches and we wish them all the best for next season. U12 Arch Cawsey Shield team made the final but unfortunately did not win. All the best for the next season boys. U13 Gee Shield made the finals and travelled to Canberra for the match. Unfortunately they did not win but I am sure they will be looking to go one better next year. U14 Moore Shield did not make the semi finals despite a verytight competition. U15 Weblin Shield had a challenging year and it unfortunately looks as though there is no Watson Shield for these boys next season. U16 Watson Shield came 3rd in their pool and missed the quarter finals. IDCA U13 Red team had a very successful competition, making it all the way to the finals where they were defeated by Maitland. U14s came 3rd in their division. U15s combined with players from Canterbury West, which resulted in a very enjoyable and successful year. U16s faced a challenging season, and it was always a pleasure to see the way the team played each game. Congratulations once again to Naden Cooray who won the U12 Creak Shield NSWDCA batting award. Congratulations also to Riley Colburt who won the U11 Creak Shield NSWDCA bowling award. In addition, congratulations also to Hiran Galapathy who won the U12 Alfred James Cup IDCA batting award. HK&HDCA also had a number of players selected for the CNSW Cricket Academy. They were: U13 – Jye Johnson, Naden Cooray, John James U14 – Dylan Ranjan, Sidhant Singh U15 - Cameron Tunks, Will McFadden A special mention must also go to Lachlan Shaw, Corey Miller and Jack Nisbet who were selected for the U17 metro squad. As always a special mention must go to our affiliated Club Administrators, coaches and managers. It is at this level that our players are developed, from which our Rep coaches can then build on. Without such support our Rep programs would not exist and so to all involved at a Club level, our sincere thanks. I would like to thank all of the Umpires, especially Jason Fletcher who had the unenviable task of assigning Umpires to all of the games, and having to deal with last minute ground changes. In addition to our normal grounds Barker College allowed us the use of their ovals and training facilities, for which we are grateful. I would also like to thank our Representative sponsors, PacByte and Rams Home Loans Hornsby. Without the support of our sponsors we would not be able to supply a number of the resources we currently enjoy. The Representative Committee: Bruce Parker, Emma Linchoten, Shayne Harris, Andrew and Yvette Tunks, Paul McSweeney, Heidi Johnson, Duncan Barber and Jeff Chamberlain had to deal as always, with a number of challenging issues, which included lots of late night correspondence. For all of this, thank you. Thank you to Rob Hanich, the Association’s Junior Secretary, the Association’s Executive and Andrew Miedler, the Association’s President for your continued support. Finally, thanks must go to the parents and families. Without your support there would be no training, games, lunches, afternoon tea, scoring and numerous other tasks.

HKHDCA SENIOR REPRESENTATIVE SECRETARYS REPORT
2018-19
Girls: This season was the second season for our U15 Peden Shield team, and the improvement from their first season was clearly seen.
We entered a team in the U13 Dive Shield this season, and we were very encouraged by the skills and determination shown by all of the members of this team.
As we are building these teams, we know that their skills will be further developed through training and game time, and we hope to see the same level of improvement across both teams that we saw between the U15 Peden Shield teams first and second seasons.
The coach of the U13 Dive Shield team was Justin Newbury, the manager was Veryan McAlister. The coach of the U15 Peden Shield team was Graham Chivers , the manager was Peter Love.
To the coaches, managers, umpires, parents and all the others who support our junior girls teams, a well earned thank you, and we look forward to seeing you back.
Seniors: Unfortunately HK&HDCA did not enter any teams in the Durham, Telegraph or Martin Shield competitions this season.
Overall: Reading the Junior Representative Secretaries report, it shows how strong HK&HDCA is, not only as an Association with all of the various competitions, but especially Reps.
If the Shell Shield had been awarded last season HK&HDCA would have finished in the top 5 Associations.
In the IDCA competition, HK&HDCA again won the competition on aggregate, and finished 0.8 of a point behind the winners on average.
Congratulations to the Northern District CC Green Shield team, who won the Green Shield competition last season. Over half of this team were members of our Watson Shield team.

RECORDS
For various reasons the individual performances in the senior competition were well below the usual. Only 62 batsmen scored over 300 runs against 115 in 2017/18. In the 9 grades only nine bowlers reached the qualifying figure of 30 wickets of which the highest was only 42 - by Cooper Davenport (Berowra) who wins the Frank Sagar Trophy. In three grades no one qualified and in five grades there was only one qualifier for the trophy. In the 1990s over 50 bowlers regularly achieved the feat of 30 wickets each season.
The main reason for the decline is that we are playing less cricket than ever before. The first two Saturdays were given over to T20 matches before seven one- dayers and seven two-dayers followed before the finals. The abbreviated matches allow considerably fewer opportunities for all but the “star” players. In addition most teams seem content to “go to the pub” as soon as a first-innings result occurs instead of going for an “outright” or giving the “lesser lights” valu- able practice.
The highest individual score in all grades was 163, made by Jaliya Goonaratne (SLSC) in C Grade. There was only one other score over 140 – the 147* made by Chakravarthi Mankena (Kenthurst – U.H. D2 Grade). He hit 15 fours and 11 sixers on Caterson 4 on the first day and his captain declared when he was late on the second day. His 579 runs for the season was enough to win the Sheppard Memorial Trophy.
The leading wicket-keepers were Jack Smallhorn (Berowra A) with 28 dismissals (23/5); Matthew Potter (ARL C3) with 25 dismissals (23/2); Michael Hungerford (Castle Hill RSL B) with 21 catches; and Barry Garven (Kenthurst – U.H. D2) with 20 dismissals (19/1).
Murugathasan Ratrasingham (Kissing Point D2) alone took eight wickets in an innings with 8/17 off 17 overs. Marcus Ridley (Berowra C) took 7/11 in the grand final and Jack Cincotta (St Colah A Reserve) took 7/19 in an innings.
Berowra, remarkably, won the top three grades. It recalls the performance of Hornsby C.C. in 1961/62 when it also won the top three grades (then A, B and C) and were presented with a fine trophy by their adversaries, the former Pymble Cricket & Social Club.
Several new records were set in the T20 competition, including a record unfinished partnership in any grade of 212 by Mark Adams (102*) and Luke Silver (101*) for Berowra 4th grade on Gilroy College Oval. They hit 35 fours and four sixers between them off 120 balls.
Few new records were set in the inter-district competitions. Most notably, Naden Cooray amassed 365 runs in the Arch Cawsey (U/12) competition and Dylan Ranjan took 15 wickets in the Gee Shield (U/13) to overtake the previous record jointly held by four players.
Finally, we have to record the death on 6 June of Bingai Gamble at the early age of 35. In the 1997/98 season, at the age of 13, Bingai scored a record 812 runs in the Under 14 competition for Mt Colah together with 449 runs in D Grade and 282 runs in the Moore Shield of which his father, Ken Gamble, was the man- ager. His runs included the only triple-century, 315 retired, made by a schoolboy in the district. It included 30 fours and 24 sixers and he shared a partnership of 295 of which he made all but 30 runs. He later played A Grade with Mt Colah, Berowra and Kissing Point.

McCarroll 24, W. McFadden 20, M. Brown 18, B. Harris 3/30) by 30 runs at Rosewood Oval, Barker College, Waitara, on Sunday, 16 September 2018.
HK&HDCA's showcase junior representative match called the Ross Turner Cup (RTC) has been held since 1998-99 and features the outstanding players in our district from the U/15 age group and below. The annual contest was originated by Tom Richmond OAM, Life Member of Northern District CC, HK&HDCA and the Coaches' Association, who passed the responsibility to Bruce Wood, President, Coaches' Association, in 2010-11. Bruce is a Life Member of HK&HDCA, Coaches' Association, Normanhurst-Warrawee CC and Barker CC, and works in close consultation with Northern District CC.
The Cup is named in honour of Ross Turner, one of our Association’s finest products, who became Northern District’s most successful captain, winning two First Grade premierships. Ross worked for Cricket NSW and Cricket Australia, pioneering development activities, before working for the International Cricket Council (ICC) in emerging cricket nations, such as Bangladesh, China, Malaysia and Afghanistan. He is now the Director of Cricket at Newington College and the Convenor of GPS cricket in Sydney.
The previous 20 RTC matches have unearthed some outstanding cricketers over the years, with an amazing 30 players graduating to play First Grade cricket in Sydney. HK&HDCA sincerely thanks Steve Thomlinson from Barker College for providing access to Rosewood Oval to host a RTC match for the first time. Thanks to sponsors Kookaburra Sport (Cameron Eve) for supplying the match balls and the Player of the Match award, and to Tom Nati for undertaking the photography duties. Congratulations to the RTC West team on its victory, with Cameron Tunks (102) named Player of the Match.
The Coaches' Association appointed two emerging young coaches – Andrew Harvey (West) and Aaron Crofts (East), who did a terrific job. The RTC captains were Oliver Jennings (West) and Alistair Weston (East). Experienced umpires, Bruce Wood and Simon Moore, were appointed to officiate this RTC match.

COACHES ASSOCIATION INDIA TOUR REPORT
Indian Tour – The Coaches’ Association concluded the 2018-19 cricket season with an amazing U/15 representative cricket tour to India in April 2019, in partnership with Northern District CC. This was the third HKHDCCA / NDCC U/15 overseas cricket tour, following previous tours to Sri Lanka in 2015 (bit.ly/SL-Report-2015) and Barbados in 2017 (bit.ly/WI-Report-17). The touring party to India comprised 13 players, 3 officials and 12 family supporters (total 28 peo- ple). They visited Mumbai, Jaipur, Agra and Delhi between 12 – 27 April 2019. The team played 7 matches against talented local academy sides on excellent ovals, winning 3 matches and narrowly losing 4 others. The Sydney team was well-placed in its sixth match on tour against the Yuvraj Singh Centre of Excellence at the Greater Noida Cricket Stadi- um in Uttar Pradesh State until 16-year-old No. 5 batsman, Vishal Bhatti smashed 176 no off 77 balls, including 17 x 4s and 10 x 6s! HKHDCCA only lost by 21 runs. The best batsman on tour was Cameron Tunks, who scored 217 runs @ 54.2 average (highest score 73). The leading bowler was leg-spinner, Oliver Jennings, who took 9 wickets @ 10.4 average (best figures 4/21). The top all-rounder was Spencer White who scored 195 runs @ 48.8 average and took 7 wickets. The other individual award winners were: Star Performance – Anthony Bartlett (two half-centuries); Fielding – Nick Hook (4 catches and a Run Out); Best Team Player – Avi Lath; and Best all-rounder (on & off the field) – Jack Nati. In total, seven of our batsmen made at least one half-century on tour – Cameron Tunks, Spencer White, Anthony Bartlett, Alistair Weston, Will McFadden, Jack Nati and Oliver Jennings. Felix Booth also came close with 45no in Match 3 against the Police Gymkhana Cricket Academy in Mumbai. On top of the experience of playing cricket in India, the touring party enjoyed lots of memorable off-the-field highlights, including attending two IPL T20 matches involving the Mumbai Indians (the eventual champions); visiting the Gateway of India in Mumbai; the majestic Taj Ma- hal in Agra; Hawa Mahal and Jantar Mantar in Jaipur; an elephant ride and tour of Amber Fort; shopping in the street markets in Jaipur (pink city); and Mother Teresa’s Missionary of Charity in Agra. The touring team witnessed first-hand what an amazing country India is with its contrasting culture, classes, opportunities and lifestyles. The players, coaches and supporters will never forget this tour and will be able to share fond memories for the rest of their lives. The feedback from the 13 players and the supporters has been brilliant – everyone had an amazing experience, both on and off the cricket field. India is a perfect destination for a cricket tour, as the locals are so passionate about the game, and so welcoming off the field. The touring team benefited from expert coaching by Rod Hokin (HKHDCCA Head Coach), who is a Cricket Australia (Level 3) High Perfor- mance Coach, and Director of Cricket / 1st XI Coach at The Kings School; and Josh Miller, a Cricket Australia (Level 2) Representative Coach who coached the Northern District CC U/16 AW Green Shield premiership team in 2018-19.
