Our Heritage Randwick Petersham Cricket Club came into being on 19 July 2001 following the merger of Randwick CC (1900-2001) and Petersham-Marrickville DCC (1951-2001). The creation of Petersham-Marrickville DCC itself was the result of an amalgamation in 1951 between Petersham DCC (1899-1951) and Marrickville DCC (1910-1951).

The collective lifespan of each of the four foundation clubs together with the 10 seasons of Randwick Petersham to 2010-11 represents a total of 253 cricket playing years. This number is well in excess of the 223 years history of the MCC at Lord’s which was founded in 1787.

While the MCC is indoubtedly the world’s most famous cricket club, with its heritage spanning 253 years, Randwick Petersham may well be the oldest cricket club in the world.

6 President’s Report

How good was that! Club Champions for the second time and almost a 1st Grade premiership to boot. What a season! And in our 10th year as well. Ladies and Gentlemen it is an absolute pleasure to present to you my report for 2010‐11. It was a successful season, ane enjoyabl season and most of all it was a proud season for us all as we celebrated 10 years together in what has been one of the most triumphant sporting mergers in recent memory.

Our 10th Anniversary Dinner was clearly the social event of the year capped to perfection by the realisation we had won the coveted Club Championship as we walked through the doors of the Sofitel Wentworth Ballroom on that wonderful evening of 12 March 2011. It was the final day of the competition and the end of that day was the only time we hit the lead. It was a fantastic performance by each of our teams as they dug deep in that last round knowing they had to give it their best shot if we were to take the trophy. And they did. Fantastic stuff! The Club Championship is a win for everyone associated with the club. And we have won it twice in the past 4 years. It doesn’t get much better.

Our 1st Graders were magnificent this summer featuring in all three competitions. The disappointment that we didn’t win one is overshadowed by the fact that our team was the most competitive side in the competition. We were undefeated in the Twenty 20 and Limited Overs preliminary matches before going down in the qualifying final and semi‐final while we finished second in the 1st Grade comp before going down in a magnificent Grand Final to Sydney University. We have plenty of talent in the side and will certainly be one of the frontrunners next season.

Our 2nd Graders also had a great season making the finals for the sixth time and the fourth time in the past five years. It was a very good side and it was disappointing that losing the toss in the semi‐final after a week’s rain virtually sealed their fate. Fours and fives were in it for a long way with both finishing seventh to miss the finals by just one spot. While 4th Grade has been our most successful team winning three premierships after contesting five Grand Finals, this was the first time 5th Grade has missed the final series in the past eight seasons having won two premierships. Third Grade was a bit of a disappointment as they looked one of our strongest teams on paper at the start of the season but took too long to hit their straps. They finished well but had too much leeway to make up.

I was particularly delighted to see our improvement in the two age competitions, the Poidevin Gray and A W Green Shield competitions. We have some wonderful young talent in our ranks and their continued development as they progress through the grades will be followed with great interest.

What a season we had at the first class level with our first home‐grown Test player Usman Khawaja. And what a great occasion when he made his Test debut for Australia against the Pom’s at my old stamping ground the famous SCG. He made the journey from the Randwick Petersham Green Shield under 16 ranks to the Test arena. We are extremely proud of what Ussie has achieved and are excited about his future in the game. He has what it takes to make the big time and I for one predict a fantastic Australian representative career for him.

And while we cheered for Ussie we shared in the tragedy of the serious injuries suffered by both Simon Katich and Nathan Hauritz which cut short their seasons. Simon got back towards the end of the season and captained NSW in the Sheffield Shield Final as well as performing well for us in the last few 1st Grade games. And then of course in June came the simply awful news that Simon Katich, Australia’s Test Player of the Year just last year was not considered good enough by the national selectors to be part of the 25 Aussie players handed a contract for the next 12 months. The mind boggled! How could that be when Simon was second only to England’s Alastair Cook in Test runs over the past 3 years! To sack your best batsman at a time when runs efor th Australian Test team are hard to come by defies logic. Having been on the rough end of a few head‐scratching decisions during my career I sympathise with Simon. One thing is for sure though, Australia’s next Test match will not be its best team. It just can’t be with Simon not in it!

Nathan Hauritz unfortunately had to go under the knife to fix his shoulder but he feels confident the op was a success and is looking forward to getting back on deck ASAP. Fortunately the national selectors have included him on the CA contract list. Fast bowler Burt Cockley can’t take a trick and again missed most of the season through injury. He was named in our Team of the Decade and we can only hope that next season he gets back on the park and makes up for lost time.

7 We continue to be a prominent supplier of first class cricket talent and this season had our fifth State player when Scott Coyte was drafted into the NSW Blues. He played in all three formats: Sheffield Shield; Limited Overs and Twenty 20. He also wrote himself into the record books with a Sheffield Shield hat‐trick against Queensland at . And what about his young brother Adam! In his first season with us he hit a record score of 223 not out to be the youngest player at 19 years of age to hit a double hundred in the long history of . If he continues to improve he could also find himself in a NSW cap in the not‐too‐distant future.

The current economic climate is not conducive to sporting sponsorships and accordingly we are extremely grateful to have such a wonderful group of sponsors on board with us. Their funds allow us to provide vital facilities and programs such as Junior Development, the club’s Academy, coaching, clothing, player awards and pay operational expenses. Many of our sponsors have been with us for many years, while some are new. They are all vitally important to our success and future and we thank them sincerely for their continued support. They are listed separately in this report and I urge all members and supporters to give them what we can in terms of business and referrals while helping develop their businesses through use of their facilities, expertise and products. Special thanks to Neale Anderson who looked after the sponsorship program and did an outstanding job.

Two major developments undertaken this season were the refurbishment of the club museum at the top of the grandstand and the upgrading of the Snape Park training facilities. These projects were achieved with the financial assistance of Randwick Council, Cricket NSW and South Eastern Junior Cricket Association along with certain Government funding. The effort of Bill Anderson and Alan Wright in both projects was simply outstanding and I would like to formally acknowledge their work and contribution in the success of each. Many thanks also to our Museum Curator Bob Barter and particularly to John Stewart who took over the setting up of the museum and its day‐to‐day administration. It is one of our great assets.

To experience the success we had this year requires sound administration and management. In this regard we have been extremely well served this season and indeed, since the merger in 2001 by a dedicated and professional group of individuals. In fact, since that time we have had only 24 people fill the 11 management committee spots which has allowed us to maintain a solid core of expertise and solidarity throughout our 10 years history.

We are very fortunate to have a person of the calibre of David Holland in the demanding role of Chief Executive Officer. And what a great job he did in this his second year. As someone who relies heavily on the CEO because of my constant absences from Sydney, I am truly grateful for David’s outstanding contribution to the efficient running of this club. He was also well supported by Assistant CEO Matthew Hilder. Well done, David and Matthew.

Alan Wright continues to do an amazing job for this club. Since we came into being 10 seasons ago Alan has held the roles of committeeman and Chairman of Selectors. He can take a lot of the kudos for our Club Championship win. Clearly the hard decisions were the right ones. Congratulations, Wrighty. David Townsend is also a valuable member of our committee looking after the important junior development program, a role he has undertaken since our second year. And speaking of long‐termers I am particularly grateful to Lyall Gardner and Ray Stafford who have produced every one of our 10 Annual Reports which have superbly documented our performances each year while highlighting and preserving the magnificent history of our club. With his keen interest in the history of our club we have taken the step this year of appointing Lyall as our official Club Historian. On the social side Nigil Singh and Chris Sullivan were again a tower of strength looking after our functions and fund raising ventures. Chris, who is another who has been involved on committee for the full 10 years, has been named Clubman of the Year and I for one am particularly pleased that he has been so acknowledged for his outstanding contribution.

On the finances front we were again well served by Financial Controller Bernie Dagg and finished slightly in the red which is no mean feat in this financial climate. It’s just so important to have a good money man within your ranks. Peter Wright again looked after our interests at NSWCA level while he accompanied CEO David Holland in representing us on the Sydney Cricket Association. Peter is also Chairman of the RPCC Foundation. It was also fantastic to see Bobby Barter again looking after the Australian and NSW Blues teams at the SCG. Just another representative of ours at the first class level!

Our grounds were again in wonderful shape this season. It was great to have Petersham Oval back in the fold following the wicket reconstruction and some tender loving care from Green Options. Green Options now prepare the at all our grounds plus our training facilities at Snape Park, Maroubra. We are indeed fortunate eto hav their services. Coogee rated best at 9th of the 1st Grade grounds while of the 41 lower grade ovals Kensington rated

8 14 and Petersham 25. To win a Club Championship a club’s grounds have to be up to scratch. They are and we did. Unfortunately Steve Devlin who has done a great job as Grounds Manager over the past two years has been forced to stand down from this role for personal and business reasons. Many thanks Steve. An important job well done.

I mentioned earlier that the Club Championship was a win for all of us. None more so than our wonderful volunteers. Each year I rave about our volunteers and the sensational work they do for us. And why not! We have just the most fantastic group of helpers who continue to work for the club year in year out. While it’s always hard to single anyone out for special mention it would be remiss of me if I didn’t refer to the outstanding work by Robin Gardner and Sue Hill in staffing our canteens at Coogee and Petersham ovals again this summer. And they do everything with a smile! Wonderful, wonderful people they are and I can’t begin to thank them enough. We didn’t get to see our long‐serving legends Pat and Noel Hughes this season who both continue to recuperate from ongoing illnesses. We know they are with us in spirit and we appreciate the good wishes they continually pass on to the club.

Our coaching staff under the direction of Rob Huxley did a sensational job again this season. They can be very pleased with their efforts which clearly went a long way in annexing the Club Championship. The team of Rob, Andrew Millican, Peter Devlin and David Skuthorpe were committed to improving individual and team performances and implementing change as required. We also had the services of sports psychologist Alan Mantle this season.

For the past 10 years I have been pushing the ideals of trust, respect and humility. I may sound like a broken record but as Club Champions I feel those concepts were never more relevant than they are now. By trust I mean that we should have trust in our ability to perform to the highest standard we can while at the same time showing respect for our opponents, our club and team mates and most of all for the game itself. When we are victorious as we have been this season, we need to display a sense of humility in enjoying our success while acknowledging the achievements of others along the way. As I have said on many occasions, we want Randwick Petersham to be everything that is good about sportsmanship, friendship and honour. And may it ever be so.

It was a wonderful moment for the club when we won the Club Championship for the first time in 2007‐08. But it made us hungry to do it again. And we have! It’s a great feeling to know we are the champion club in Sydney Grade Cricket. It is the ultimate acknowledgement of everything we have worked for. And now the hard work starts. Can we do it again next season? It’s always tough to back up because every club is aware of our capabilities and raise that extra effort whenever they come up against us. It would be a real dream to win the Sydney Smith Cup two years in a row. It will be tough but when you look at the depth of talent in our playing ranks and the volunteers we have at our disposal there is absolutely no reason why we can’t do it again. Every other club will want to take that title from us next season. It will be harder to retain the honour than it was to win it in the first place. It always is.

Last year I wrote in my report that this season, our 10th, would be a big one. It was certainly that. If certain decisions were taken 10 years ago there would have been no Randwick and no Petersham‐Marrickville. That both clubs were re‐born under the Randwick Petersham banner has given a lot of people a lot of joy not to mention what the merger has meant for Sydney Grade Cricket and for the game itself. There has been plenty of celebrating this year and with good reason. And as we enter our second decade we do so in the knowledge that we are yet to take the 1st Grade title. This is our aim. We have the players. We have the facilities. We have the support staff. And we have the generosity of a wonderful group of sponsors behind us. These are the ingredients to achieve our goals. We can do it and we will do it. Enjoy the journey.

Michael Whitney President

9 Report of the Management Committee

In last year’s Annual Report I commenced my report by asking the question ‐ what constitutes a ‘good season’. It was (and is) a view held by the Management Committee that a good season can be measured by being in the top four teams in the Club Championship and having 2‐3 teams in the finals.

On the above measure this season has been a ‘good season’. In our tenth year we came first in the Club Championship (overtaking St George in the last round) and had both 1st and 2nd Grade qualify for the finals. First Grade narrowly lost the final against Sydney University in an enthralling game at , while 2nd Grade lost a semi‐final against Gordon after losing the toss on a damp wicket. From a playing perspective Randwick Petersham Cricket has had a ‘good season’.

In addition and of great importance to the club was the inclusion of Usman Khawaja in the Australian team, batting at number three in the Sydney Test in January against England and Scott Coyte’s re‐call to the NSW state team. The club is greatly privileged and very proud to have Simon Katich, Nathan Hauritz, Usman Khawaja and Scott Coyte as players in our club who represent our state and country.

This season has seen progress other than playing performances with four off‐field projects undertaken and completed.

These are as follows.

1. At the commencement of the season the club together with Randwick Council contracted Gabba Sporting Products to upgrade the Snape Park training facility. The three synthetic wickets were re‐concreted and new synthetic grass laid. New chain wire fencing, a retractable net system and a roof net was installed. The turf wickets were increased from three to four. Considerable thanks go to Bill Anderson who drove this project and to Rob Huxley and Peter Devlin for their involvement in seeing this project through to fruition. Thanks are also extended to Randwick Council, Mark Coles, South Eastern Junior Cricket Association (SEJCA) and Cricket NSW for their financial contribution which was greatly appreciated.

2. Following positive discussions with Randwick Council, the club was given permission to upgrade the Coogee Grandstand Museum and take advantage of the Community Building Partnership (CBP) program grant of $55,000. Plans were drawn up and builders, electricians, painters and carpenters engaged to undertake the refurbishment. A new kitchenette, toilet and floor coverings were installed and new cabinetry to house our memorabilia was purchased. This project is now about 95% complete with upgrade to the meeting table (estimated to be over 100 years old) and changes to the windows facing the oval being the only two outstanding items. Thanks go to Alan Wright for organizing the refurbishment and latterly to John Stewart for his role in laying out memorabilia in the new display cabinets and giving shape to the museum. Can I also mention the considerable role Bob Barter played in managing the museum in the Petersham pavilion and transferring it toe th Coogee grandstand at the commencement of the 2009‐10 season.

3. This season saw the re‐introduction of Petersham Oval as a ground for our playing teams. After much work on the square undertaken by Green Options during the off season, on the pitch newly re‐laid in November 2009, our 4th Grade team commenced the 2010‐11 season with a win and reported back that the pitch and outfield had played well. All reports indicate that the pitch and outfield played well throughout the season. But Petersham Oval is a work in progress. The pavilion, kitchen and change rooms are in very poor condition which prevents us holding 1st and 2nd Grade matches there while work is needed on the picket fence. In addition the preparation of the ground is expensive with Marrickville Council not providing any financial assistance. (This contrasts to Randwick Council who generously assist the club financially in the preparation of Coogee, Kensington and Snape).The ongoing role of Petersham will continue to be an agenda item for discussion at Management Committee meetings in the upcoming season.

4. The Committee decided at the commencement of the season to hold a special Anniversary Dinner to celebrate the success of the club’s first 10 years of operation. A sub‐committee was established consisting of Nigil Singh, Chris Sullivan, Matt Hilder, Neale Anderson, Anyes McLean and Julie Muir to organize the format of the evening and plan the numbers attending and table layout. The evening was a momentous success with thanks going to not only

10 the sub‐committee but also Graeme Hughes (a long time supporter of the club) who via his promotions company MCI Australia was responsible for the running of the evening including engagement of the choir, comedian and guest speaker . All connected with the running of this event deserve huge accoladesr fo their efforts.

One of the hallmarks of our great club is the strong volunteer base that provides impetus and growth to what we do. We have approximately 70 people who help with a range of jobs around the club. I would especially like to extend significant thanks to a number of people who have made a huge impact over the last 12 months in particular Bill Anderson for his considerable efforts in player recruitment and coach management making the playing side of the club most successful (our club was 15th in the Club Championship in 2008‐09, 7th in 2009‐10 and 1st this year); and furthermore in his role upgrading the Snape training facility. Also, Alan Wright for his management of selections and with the refurbishment of the Coogee museum; and finally Neale Anderson for his work in managing the sponsorship of the club ‐ in the current economic climate it is no easy task.

We look forward to the hard work in the upcoming season to continue to make ours a great club.

For and on behalf of the Management Committee.

David Holland Chief Executive Officer

15 The 2010-11 Grade Season in Summary

Round 1 v Eastern Suburbs (2 day matches) Sats. 24 Sep/2 Oct 2010 1st Grade: drawn @ Kensington‐‐363 to 5‐302: An historic day with 1st Grade at Kensington for the first time since the late 1970’s. A good batting wicket saw an opening partnership of 110 before three half‐centuries to Matt Frith (85), Damien Wall (60) and John McLoughlin (57 not out). In reply Easts were on target to win with 51 not out before the rains came and washed out play. 2nd Grade: lost by 36 runs @ Waverley‐‐166 to 202: After having the Dolphins 6‐83 the taild wagge to give them a competitive total of 202. This proved to be enough with only Alex Sciascia (78) and Peter Cross (33) providing any real batting backbone. Jordan Magro was the best of our bowlers with 3‐28 from 17 overs. 3rd Grade: drawn @ Snape‐‐8‐184 to 224: An outstanding grade debut by Umayr Amir with 6‐42 from 18 overs couldn’t restrict Easts from posting 224 to have us on the back foot at 8‐184 when rain washed out play. Matt Hilder (43 not out) and Troy Brewster (43) were best of the batsmen. 4th Grade: lost by 65 runs @ Cahill‐‐197 to 8‐262: Having won 7 out of 7 against Easts in this grade the averages were stacked against us and so it proved to be going down with Las Kannangara (58) the standout. 5th Grade: won by 3 wkts @ Marrickville‐‐118: to 87 The only victor in the round. Great bowling by Daniel Laus (5‐32) and skipper Peter Devlin (3‐17) knocked Easts over for just 87. We started poorly losing 2 for 0 before some consolidation saw us pass them 7 down after being 7‐75. Addison Grinham (44) played a lone hand to be last man out.

Round 2 v Fairfield‐Liverpool (Limited Overs) Sat. 9 October 2010 1st Grade: tied @ Rosedale‐‐9‐167 to 167: An amazing match with Fairfield’s last man run out on the last ball of the day to tie the game. Earlier we had struggled to post 167 against a spirited attack with only Peter Cross (51 not out) and Matt Frith (34) making any real impression. In reply we were on top with new boy Jake Wilson on target (5‐31 off 10) and at 9‐157 with 11 to get it was ours to lose. 2nd Grade: won by 86 runs @ Coogee‐‐7‐ 275 to 189: It was one way traffic with skipper David Mitchell (70) and Troy Brewster (61) in full flight. In the run chase Rob Close, Brandon McLean and Jordan Magro chipped in with 2 wickets each to put the issue beyond doubt in only 43 overs. 3rd Grade: lost by5 11 runs @ Fairfield‐‐62 to 9‐177: A horrible batting collapse saw us make just 62 in reply to a gettable 177. Only 2 batsmen made double figures after Nick Charlwood (3‐24) and Umayr Amin (2‐34) had done well with the ball. 4th Grade: won by 98 runs @ Kensington‐‐8‐216 to 118: Skipper Andrew Harrison came within an ace of scoring his maiden grade century when he hit 92 in a partnership of 153 with David Bourke (60). Chris Singh then got to work to take 5 for 49 and put the issue beyond doubt. 5th Grade: won by 5 runs @ Don Dawson‐‐6‐177 to 122: New chum Ryan Wanagaru showed his class with 72 not out while Mitchell Jones was superb taking 4 for 11 from 10 overs to secure an easy win.

Round 3 v Sutherland (2 day matches) Sats. 16 & 23 October 2010 1st Grade: won by 2 wkts @ Glenn McGrath‐‐183 to 169: An amazing batting collapse saw Sutherland lose 8 wickets for 11 runs in slumping from 0‐95 to 8‐106 in gale force winds. Nathan Price triggered the collapse with 4 for 51 while left‐arm swinger Jake Wilson chimed in with 3‐43. The tail rallied to put on 63 for the final 2 wickets to post a target of 169. In reply a 52 run partnership for the 5th wicket between new boy Anthony Sams (23) and Damien Wall (54) set up a good win. 2nd Grade: drawn @ Coogee‐‐274 to 5‐153: Alex Sciascia and Troy Brewster were again among the runs with 62 and 41 respectively while Alex Graham contributed a handy 52 and Brandon McLean 42. Brandon was among the wickets in reply with 3 for 8 before a storm hit and washed out play with the Sharks in trouble. 3rd Grade: lost by 7 wkts @ Sutherland‐‐67 & 6‐249 to 6‐185 dec: Another disappointing batting performance being bowled out for just 67 following a score of 62 last match. Alex Tomkins (17) was the only batsman to get into double figures. In reply Nick Charlwood (3‐62) gave us a sniff when he reduced the Sharks to 3‐30 but not enough to force a win. In the second dig Addison Grinham hit a fine 102 in an improved display. Mel Singh brought up 200 wickets for the club with 2‐33 off 10 overs. 4th Grade: won by 62 runs @ Petersham‐‐6‐296 to 234: Ryan Wanagaru continued his good form hitting a dashing 105. He was well supported by David Bourke scoring 70 in his 150th game for the club. Alex Tomkins (4‐32) and Andrew Harrison (2‐28) cleaned up to take eth points after the Sharks slumped from 0‐84 to 5‐109. 5th Grade: lost by 2 runs @ Tonkin‐‐246 to 248: Sending the opposition in didn’t work as intended with the Sharks ending up with 247. Nick Saady (3‐50 & 62) had a great double as did Sam Muir (1‐33 & 46) but the last two wickets fell just 3 short of a win. We batted 1 short day 2 because of a junior association ruling on a young player.

16 Round 4 v Parramatta (Limited Overs) Sat. 30 October 2010 1st Grade: won by 4 runs @ Coogee—8‐237 to 8‐233: We were in trouble at 5‐97 before Anthony Sams (64) and Adam Semple (70) set a new 1st Grade 6th wicket partnership record of 122 in 85 minutes including 13 x s4’ and 5 x 6’s. The Eels were struggling at 7‐179 but an 8th wicket partnership of 54 almost got them there falling 4 short. Tight bowling by Burt Cockley (3‐50 off 10), Nathan Price (2‐29 off 10) and Jake Wilson (1‐30 off 10) made the difference. 2nd Grade: won by 8 wkts @ Old Kings‐‐2‐121 to 120 (plus 1 bonus point): Fast bowler James Tyson took a hat‐trick as part of a return of 5 for 24 from 8 overs. Alex Sciascia (38) and John McLoughlin (52 not out) polished off the target. 3rd Grade: won by 17 runs@ Petersham‐‐8‐220 to 203: NSW under 17 star Brad Maguire (52 not out) and Brenton Barker (44) were the main batting contributors. The bowling of Nigil Singh (3‐28), Nick Charlwood (3‐24) and Umayr Amir (3‐37) was too much for Parra and they were out for 203 with 3 overs remaining. 4th Grade: won by 39 runs @ Merrylands‐‐215 to 176: After losing 5 for 13, a fantastic 95 not out by Englishman Toby Finzel and 58 from Chris Singh set up a total of 215 after they put on 137 for the 6th wicket. Alex Tomkins (4‐40) and Josh James )(2 ‐28 applied the finishing touches to have the Eels out for 170. 5th Grade: won by 25 runs @ Kensington—7‐208 to 183: Our batsmen struggled early but fast bowler Mitchell Wright (63), wicketkeeper Fabian Heaton (41) and skipper Peter Devlin (38 not out) showed great depth. With the ballk Nic Saady (3‐18), Robbie Passas (3‐36) and Mitch Jones (3‐41) put the issue beyond doubt to make it 5 wins for the day!

Round 5 v Manly‐Warringah (2 day matches) Sats. 6 & 13 November 2010 All games day 1 were washed out. All games day 2 were 120 overs matches with no declaration requirement. 1st Grade: drawn @ Coogee—5‐300 dec. to 6‐293: A welcome return by Simon Katich (94) and a hard hitting 106 not out by Scott Coyte saw a partnership of 141 for the 3rd wicket. Some big hitting helped put on 165 from the final 20 overs to reach 300 which included a total of 28 boundaries and 7 sixes. In reply a 3rd wicket partnership of 118 ruined our chances despite Scott Coyte’s 3 for 68 from 13 overs. A drawn match with 593 runs scored in 119.3 overs. 2nd Grade: won @ Manly—8‐217 to 213: Our three spinners did the trick with 8 wickets between them – Alex Graham (4‐37); Brandon McLean (2‐38); Rob Wilson (2‐47) – to produce a manageable target. We lost 8 wickets running down their score with John McLoughlin (67) and Peter Cross (59) the batting rocks. 3rd Grade: lost @ Petersham—8‐245 to 9‐246: This was a real thriller with last season’s premiers getting the points with the last man ate th crease. Brenton Barker (51); Andrew Williams (47) and Alex Wynn (41) did best with the bat while leg‐spinner Mel Singh returned 4‐66 and Grant Rimmer 3‐58. 4th Grade: won @ Graham Reserve—5‐172 to 162: It was one‐way traffic as young Nick Stapleton hit his maiden grade century (100 not out) to secure the win. Chris Singh (2‐31) and Matt Hilder (2‐23) kept the total to a minimum. 5th Grade: lost @ Kensington—148 to 168: Sending Manly in looked a good decision when they were out cheaply with Mitchell Jones (5‐36) and Josh James (2‐41) the stars. In reply we struggled with only Matt Coles (30) and Kushal Ram (40) offering any real resolve although Josh James (20) hit out at the end to finish 20 short.

Round 6 v Blacktown (2 day matches) Sats. 20 & 27 November 2010 1st Grade: lost outright @ Joe McAleer—126 & 225 to 9‐214 dec & 7‐141: Poor batting with Anthony Sams (34) the best left us behind on day 1 despite Nick Warren’s 5‐51 and Rod Stafford’s 4‐50. Another collapse day 2 saw us 5‐79 before a rally by Alex Graham (47) left them 137 to win. Scott Coyte (4‐24) and Nick Warren (2‐49) made early inroads which had Blacktown 5 for 63 then 7 for 106 before the winning runs were scored. Only the 6th ever outright loss. 2nd Grade: drawn @ Coogee—8‐343 to 358: Blacktown were 7‐331 at stumps day 1 and continued day 2 to reach 358 with Rob Wilson (3‐76) best of the bowlers. With only 88 overs to bat we had 8 batsmen score 22 or more with Peter Cross (84) and Eddie Otto (55) the top scorers but were just 15 short at the end to draw the match. 3rd Grade: won by 89 runs @ Jim Hanshaw —253 to 164: Ryan Wanagaru (77) and Brenton Barker (41) set the scene for Nick Charlwood (46) to let fly at the end for an imposing score. Charlwood (4‐30 off 13) again made his mark along with Nigil Singh (3‐22 off 8) to always have the game under control and record a solid win. 4th Grade: won by 67 runs @ Petersham—205 to 138: The bowling skill of Chris Singh (5‐25) was too much for the Blacktown batsmen and they crumbled to be all out in just 51 overs. Toby Finzel (34) was the best of the run‐chasers as the team secured an easy win and maintain its position at the head of the competition table. 5th Grade: won by 125 runs @ Whalan 2‐‐224 to 99 & 1‐12: Good batting day 1 set up a reasonable total with Matt Coles (64) and Tom McCarthy (35) the main contributors. In reply it was all over in just 44 overs with Robbie Passas (4‐ 15), Nick Saady (2‐10) and Matt Coles (2‐18) sharing the wickets for a comfortable win.

Round 7 v Northern District (2 day matches) Sats. 4 & 11 December 2010 All matches were washed out day 1 and converted to one‐day non‐limited overs matches on day 2. 1st Grade: won by 8 wkts @ Waitara—2‐224 to 222: A dynamic win with Adam Coyte blasting 94 not out off 79 balls aided by Nathan Price with 73 off 51 to help snare a bonus point. Earlier Jake Wilson (3‐63) and Nathan Price (3‐38) did the damage mto have the out in 48 overs with Jordan Magro mopping up with 2‐14.

17 2nd Grade: won by 10 runs @ Coogee—174 to 164: At 9 ‐ 116 James Tyson joined Brenton Barker (65) to put on 58 for the last wicket to get the total to 174. This proved to be enough as spinners Rob Wilson (4 ‐ 10) and Alex Graham (2 ‐ 32) applied the Randy Pete’s squeeze to bowl the Rangers out for 164 just 10 short. 3rd Grade: lost by 4 wkts @ Asquith—146 to 6‐148: Only Toby Finzel (49) provided an innings of any real substance in a poor score. It was nowhere near enough as the Rangers achieved the target for the loss of 6 wickets with Mel Singh (3‐34) and Umayr Amin (2‐58) among the wickets. 4th Grade: lost by 80 runs @ Petersham—137 to 5‐217: Early wickets to Gabe Budwee (3‐24) was the only highlight as 11th placed ND’s piled on the runs. The loss of early wickets put us on the back foot and we could not recover despite the best efforts of Fabian Heaton (35). The loss saw us slump from 1st to 3rd on the ladder. 5th Grade: won by 6 wkts @ Somerville—4‐128 to 127: The Rangers were in trouble from the get go with all bowlers sharing wickets, but the pick was skipper Peter Devlin who provided a lesson in taking 3 for 8 from 10 overs to bowl them out for 127. The total was never going to be enough with RPC achieving the runs for the loss of only 4 wickets and maintain our undefeated record over ND’s in 5ths winning 5 from 7 with 2 drawn.

Round 8 v Campbelltown (Twenty20 matches) Sun. 5 December 2010 All lower grade matches were washed out after a week’s rain and draws recorded. 1st Grade: won by 39 runs @ Raby 1—5‐136 to 97: Sent in to bat after a week’s rain wasn’t a problem as openers Adam Coyte (38) and Usman Khawaja (26) took to the bowling to put on 57 in quick time. Damien Wall (22) and Nathan Price (25) played sensibly leaving the Ghosts a competitive chase. Nick Warren (2‐18) struck quickly and when Nick Price (3‐25) reduced them from 3‐52 to 6‐71 it was left to Jordan Magro (3‐11) to clean up for a solid win and have the team leading the comp.

Round 9 v Bankstown (Limited Overs (1st Grade) and Twenty20 lower grades) Sat. 18 December 2010 1st Grade: won by 5 wkts @ Coogee—5‐175 to 7‐174: Sent in to bat Bankstown were soon in trouble against a persistent attack. Nick Warren (3 ‐31), Jake Wilson (1‐17), Nathan Price (1‐21), Jordon Magro (1‐35 from 9 overs) and Adam Semple (1‐14) all got among the wickets to restrict the Dogs to 7 for 174 from their 50 overs. In the run chase we were doing it tough at 5 for 90 until Nathan Price (63 off 63 balls) and Adam Semple (48 off 65) put on 85 for the sixth wicket to pass the total in the 35th over. 2nd Grade: won by 84 runs @ Bankstown—7‐145 to 61: After being sent in things were looking grim until Matt Yiend (52 not out) and Brandon McLean (29) put together a fine lower order partnership to see RPC finish the 20 overs at 7 for 145. The total proved to be irrelevant as James Tyson (5‐21 from 4 overs) ripped through the Dogs top order. They never recovered from this brutal spell and when Grant Rimmer (2‐16) and Rob Wilson (2‐5) finished off Bankstown had been bowled outw for a ne record low of 61 against us in 2nd Grade with no batsman making 20. 3rd Grade: lost by 50 runs @ Petersham: 7‐93 to 7‐143: Bowling first we had the Dogs on the back foot with early wickets to Andrew Harrison (3‐21). However, their middle order fought back despite the efforts of Nigil Singh (2‐10) and Chris Singh (2‐21) to post 7 for 143 after their 20 overs. In reply RPC battled hard but found the increasing required run rate too difficult to keep up with and finished the 20 overs at 7 for 93 with only Toby Finzel (24 not out) providing a score of substance. 4th Grade: lost by 7 wkts @Bankstown: 9‐106 to 3‐107: Electing to bat first, early wickets put the batting under pressure leaving only the class of Andrew Redman (51) to shine through to see a par score of 9 for 106 compiled after 20 overs. The total didn't prove to be enough as the Bankstown batsmen chanced their arm, passing the total for the loss of only 3 wickets in the 19th over. 5th Grade: lost by 33 runs @ Petersham—122 to 9‐155: The Bankstown batting fired to post 9 for 155 after 20 overs with only Peter Devlin (3‐36) and Robbie Passas (2‐13) providing impact. The total proved enough despite a wholehearted chase, with RPC bowled out in the 19th over for 122. Nick Saady (30) and Will Passas (21) showed good form in the shorter format of the game. This was 5th Grade’s first loss to Bankstown having won all previous 7!

Round 10 v Penrith (2 day matches) Sats. 8 &15 January 2011 1st Grade: won by 5 wkts @ Coogee—6‐234 to 226: At 5‐101 with our Test players Usman Khawaja (8) and Nathan Hauritz (42) back in the pavilion we had it all to do before a wonderful new 6th wicket record partnership of 133 by Damien Wall, who was out for 96 trying for a boundary to bring up a well deserved ton and Adam Semple (35 not out) brought up the win. At 5 for 48 on day 1 the Panthers looked like being dismissed cheaply before a late rally put on 176 fort the las 5 wickets. Nick Warren (3‐20 off 11.3) and Jake Wilson (3‐29 off 12) returned the best bowling figures. 2nd Grade: Won outright by 9 wkts @ Cook—267 & 1‐14 to 46 & 234: Sensational bowling by Jordan Magro (5 for 5) and James Tyson (4) for 24 was responsible for a new “low score” record when they knocked over the Panthers for just 46. On day 1 we had set up a competitive score courtesy of Matt Yiend’s 78 and Rod Stafford’s 81 enabling skipper David Mitchell to enforce the follow on. In the second dig Magro was at it again returning 3‐25 with Stafford (3‐58) and Nick Charlwood (2‐23) providing support leaving just 14 to get for the major points and 3rd on the ladder.

18 3rd Grade: Won outright by 3 wkts @ Petersham—9‐87 dec & 7‐195 to 86 & 195: Chasing only 86 after Umayr Amir (5‐24) and Nigil Singh (4‐17) had skittled the Panthers proved a real issue and we were fortunate to edge ahead with just one wicket ine th bank. Only Troy Brewster (24) looked any way secure. Penrith did much better in their second attempt despite being held back by the Singh boys Mel (4‐74) and Nigil (3‐19). With 195 to get Toby Finzel (53) and Troy Brewster (53) set the foundation for an outstanding result in taking the major points. 4th Grade: Lost by 4 runs @ Rance—184 to 188: Penrith batted first but some tight bowling by Andrew Harrison (3‐ 42) and Matt Hilder (3‐32) kept them to a gettable score. In the run chase we didn’t have it all our own way with only Mitch Wright (55) and Alex Tomkins (29) offering any solidarity against a spirited attack to finish just 4 runs short. 5th Grade: Lost by 35 runs @ Kensington—162 to 197: Sending the Panthers in to bat didn’t produce the results expected and their 197 was always going to be a challenge. Young Green Shielder Hayden McLean did best with the ball to take 2 for 5 while Matt Coles toiled hard for 2 for 62. We were always struggling in the run chase with Kushal Ram scoring a well deserved 61 to be the only batsman of note in a disappointing loss.

Round 11 v Western Suburbs (2 day matches) Sats. 22 & 29 January 2011 1st Grade: Won outright by 107 runs @ Pratten—300 to 88 & 105: Despite losing 8 for 39 between the fall of the second and ninth wickets, the magnificent 137 by Damien wall off 157 deliveries ensured a healthy score of 300. Day 2 belonged to the bowlers with Jake Wilson (5‐42) and Nick Warren (2‐19) needing only 30 overs to take 1st innings points. Adam Semple (2‐17); Rod Stafford (2‐31), Alex Graham (2‐21) and Warren again (2‐14) did the damage in the second dig for a great outright win to go to the top of the competition leaderboard. 2nd Grade: Lost by 1 wkt @ Coogee—255 to 9‐257: With the last man in and 14 needed we were in the box seat but determination won through and we couldn’t take the wicket which mattered. A disappointment on day 1 slumping from 2‐153 to be all out for 255 with Alex Sciascia (64), Troy Brewster (63) and number 10 Umayr Amir (32) the main contributors. At 5‐222 Wests had the game but a fight‐back by bowlers James Tyson (3‐34 off 18), Brandon McLean (3‐ 85) and Nick Charlwood (2‐64) almost pulled it off. 3rd Grade: Won by 3 wkts @ Blick—7‐161 to 147: Grant Rimmer (4‐40) and Nigil Singh (4‐22) ensured we would have less than 150 to chase which was no problem for Andrew Redman (71) and Toby Finzel (57) to record a good win. 4th Grade: Won by 6 wkts @ Petersham—4‐165 to 158: Wests looked comfortable at 2‐117 but when Daniel Laus (4‐40) took 3 quick wickets and Chris Singh (4‐27) chimed in, they lost 8 for 41 to be all out for 158. In yrepl Nick Stapleton (45) and David Bourke (27) got the side off to a good start to ensure a solid win. 5th Grade: Lost by 3 wkts @ Punchbowl—220 to 7‐222: Matt Coles (72) and Josh James (47) each hit their best score of the season but 220 didn’t look enough on a flat track. Green Shield player Hayden McLean (3‐35) did best with the ball while Mitchell Jones (2‐46) tried hard but the side went down for the third time in a row.

Round 12 v St George (2 day matches) Sat/Sun 5 & 6 February 2011 1st Grade: Drawn @ Coogee—9‐427 dec to 9‐397: With our second highest score and 824 runs in the match for the loss of 18 wickets a draw was a disappointing outcome. After winning the toss we appeared to have lost the initiative in 40 degree heat losing 4 fort 46. Bu a 232 record 1st Grade 5th wicket partnership between Adam Semple (101) and Adam Coyte who went on to hit the highest score in 1st Grade for the club with 223 not out, followed by some tail‐ end support enabled us to declare at a huge 9‐427. Wickets were hard to come by day 2 and at 2‐248 Saints were on track to cause an upset. Wickets came but the last pair defied everything for 28 minutes to hang on for a draw. 2nd Grade: Won by 7 wkts @ Hurstville—3‐252 to 251: A fantastic 139 by Peter Cross day 2 complemented the bowling of Nick Charlwood (5‐65) and Rob Wilson (3‐43) day 1 to ensure a great victory and 4th place in the comp. 3rd Grade: Lost by 34 runs @ Petersham—9‐272 dec to 238: Chasing Saints big score was always a challenge after Mel Singh (4‐63) and Nigil Singh (3‐54) had bowled so well in 40 degree heat day 1. Toby Finzel (75), Andrew Williams (58) and Will Passas (41) gave it their best shot but fell short to severely hamper the team’s chance of a final 6 place. 4thn Grade: Wo by 163 runs @ Harold Fraser—263 to 100 & 4‐123: Winning the toss on a hot day 1 helped Nick Stapleton take full advantage with a magnificent 160 supported by Matt Hilder’s 47 with the pair setting a new 4th Grade partnership record of 115 for the 7th wicket after the side was 6 for 83 at tea. On day 2 Daniel Laus (4‐26) excelled after Gabe Budwee (2‐11) and Mitchell Jones (2‐10) had done the early damage. The win secured 4th place. 5th Grade: Drawn @ Kensington—8‐238 to 8‐323 dec: A fantastic fightback after Saints had rattled up a record score against us with their top 8 batsmen scoring between 23 and 60. Kushal Ram (2‐33) and 59 had a great double while Robbie Passas (51) and Duncan Hunt (38) did well in ensuring St George didn’t get the 12 Club C’ship points.

Round 13 v Sydney University (2 day matches) Sats. 12 & 19 February 2011 1st Grade: Lost by 8 wkts @ Sydney Uni 1—253 to 2‐254: Sent into bat after overnight rain we were soon in trouble at 5‐67 but Nathan Price (56) and Adam Semple (38) put on 72 to get back on track. But 6at 8‐15 it was left to Rod Stafford (64 not out) and Rob Wilson (27) to get the score to a respectable 253, with a 9th wicket partnership of 97. In reply in perfect batting conditions the result was never in doubt with the students recording an 8 wickets win.

19 2nd Grade: Lost by 38 runs @ Coogee—204 to 242: Bowling first Nick Charlwood (5‐46) and James Tyson (3‐73) did well to knock Uni over for a sub‐par score after they were doing it easy at 5‐210. In reply we were on track at 2‐115 but when Alex Sciascia (60) went a mid‐order crash put them in the driver’s seat with only Alex Graham (40) offering any resistance from the lower order to record a disappointing loss. 3rd Grade: Won by 1 wkt @ Sydney Uni 2—9‐185 to 184: An amazing career‐best bowling performance by Grant Rimmer of 8‐111 off 25 overs gave us our best chance of beating Uni for the first time ever in 8 matches. However in the run chase we had the last two at the crease with 10 to get after Toby Finzel (61) and Andrew Williams (32) had given their side a great start. A few edges and cheeky singles did the trick however, and we took home the points. 4th Grade: Lost by 3 wkts @ Petersham—7‐161 to 160: Sent in in ideal bowling conditions only David Bourke (42), Gabe Budwee (33) and Matt Hilder t(33 no out) got going. While our bowlers did their job well a few dropped catches cost us the match. Best of the bowlers were Matt Hilder (2‐27), Chris Singh (2‐23) and Alex Tomkins (2‐21). 5th Grade: Won by 40 runs @ St Pauls—122 to 82: Another lost toss saw us bat first on a seamer with 6 batsmen getting into double figures. Kark Schubert (32) and Matt Coles (24) remained the main contributors to an ordinary score. In the run chase in hot conditions our Green Shield stars from last season Nick Saady (4‐15) and Sam Muir (4‐ 25) stepped up to the mark to knock the students over for just 82 and record a great win.

Round 14 v Mosman (2 day matches) Sats. 26 Feb / 5 March 2011 1st Grade: Won by 173 runs @ Coogee—364 to 191 & 2‐40: A good toss to win on a hot day ensured our batsmen had a day out with Simon Katich top scoring with 87 while Nathan Price (53), Adam Semple (49) and John McLoughlin (45) batted well. Nick Warren quickly reduced Mosman to 5‐38 but a stubborn 81 partnership for the 6th wicket and another 36 for the 10th robbed us of an outright opportunity. Warren’s 5‐71 and 2‐15 was a worthy reward. 2nd Grade: Won Outright by an innings and 105 runs @ —4‐394 dec to 103 & 186: A record opening partnership of 202 by Eddie Otto (118) and Troy Brewster (113) and record bowling of 9‐68 off 18.5 overs from Jordan Magro in the second innings after James Tyson (5‐48) and Nick Charlwood (3‐37) did the business in the first dig ensured a place in the finals. The team score of 394 was also a new 2nd Grade record. 3rd Grade: Won by 9 wickets @ Petersham—1‐105 dec & 5‐106 to 102 and 163: Grant Rimmer (5‐35), Nigil Singh (5‐ 21) and Toby Finzel (54 not out) destroyed the Whales in the first dig while Singh (5‐59) helped set up an outright chance in the second. While the batsmen tried hard only Brenton Barker (36) really got going before the rain came. 4th Grade: Lost by 45 runs @ Rawson—140 to 185: Mosman improved their record to 6 wins from 9 matches in 4ths when our boys crashed and virtually knocked themselves out of the finals race. Nick Stapleton (35) continued his good form while Matt Hilder (3‐32), Chris Singh (2‐25) and Andrew Harrison (2‐37 and) 24 runs were best of the rest. 5th Grade: Won by 5 wkts @ Kensington—5‐120 dec & 5‐103 to 119 & 3‐160 dec: Mitchell Jones (3‐14) and Matt Coles (2‐2) put the Whales to the sword with Kushal Ram (51) and Les Kannangara (30) ensuring the points. The bowlers couldn’t repeat the dose in the second in the attempt for maximum points.

Round 15 v University of NSW (Limited Overs). Sat. 12 March 2011 1st Grade: Won by 83 runs @ Village Green—9‐184 to 101 with 1 bonus point: We were in trouble at 4‐47 with our top 4 bats out before Nathan Price (62) and Adam Semple (45) put on 83. Scott Coyte (3‐12) struck quickly putting the students behind the 8‐ball. At 4‐71 they slumped to 7‐71 with Jake Wilson (3‐16) and Nick Warren (2‐20) cleaning up. 2nd Grade: Won by 7 wkts @ Coogee—3‐82 to 81 with 1 bonus point: James Tyson (2‐14), Nick Charlwood (1‐32), Jordan Magro (2‐14), Rod Stafford (3‐11) and Brandon McLean (1‐5) put the skids through Uni before John McLoughlin hit 43 off 44 balls to give us the game in just 16.5 overs and grab an important bonus point. 3rd Grade: Lost by 6 wkts @ David Phillips North—191 to 4‐192: The loss of 3 for just 8 runs left it to tailenders Mel Singh (45) and Mitch Wright (33) to give the final score some credibility. However our bowlers could not produce the form of recent games and the students coasted home in the 46th over for the loss of just 4 wickets. 4th Grade: Won by 90 runs @ Petersham—178 to 88 with 1 bonus point: Sent in on a track with life it was left to opener David Bourke (91) to grind out a competitive target. In the run chase the students were no match for great bowling by Andrew Harrison (4‐36) and Gabe Budwee (4 for 6 off 10) to take the win with a bonus point. 5th Grade: Won by 96 runs @ David Phillips South—155 to 59 with 1 bonus point: Sent in to bat didn’t deter Andy Coles (28) or Karl Schubert (43) but being all out in the 34th over left us vulnerable. In reply Uni were no match for Sam Muir (3‐16), Nick Saady (2‐7) and the guile of Peter Devlin (4‐20) with a bonus point a real bonus.

Qualifying Finals (2 Day Matches) Sat. /Sun. 19/20 March 2011 1st Grade v North Sydney @ Coogee: Drawn 2nd Grade v Sydney University @ Kensington: Drawn It was the wettest weekend in March for 27 years with approximately 150 mls falling in most areas of Sydney. Not a ball was bowled in either match. Both Randwick Petersham teams progressed to the Semi‐Finals.

20 Semi‐Finals (2 Day Matches) Sat. / Sun. 26/27 March 2011 1st Grade: Drawn @ Coogee‐‐3‐32 to 195: Despite a promise from the weather forecasters for mostly sunny conditions Coogee Oval was anything but on Day 1 with cloudy skies after early morning showers. It was a good toss to win with RP 1st Grade skipper Scott Coyte calling correctly and inviting St George to bat first. Good bowling and fielding in helpful conditions paid off with Saints slumping to 5 for 81 shortly after lunch. A dogged 57 run partnership for the 6th wicket took the score to 6 for 138 when Nathan Price enticed (32) to loft a catch to Alex Graham. With Coyte sending down a few hand grenades Saint’s innings looked to be all over with the score line 9 for 162. However a last wicket partnership of 33 enabled the Dragons to post a competitive 195. Coyte ),(4‐34 Price (2‐32) and Jake Wilson (2‐39) took the bowling honours. With 12 overs to bowl in gloomy conditions Saints made real inroads into our batting removing opener Damian Wall (9), nightwatchman Alex Graham (0) and new Test star Usman Khawaja spectacularly caught and bowled by Copeland for a . Simon Katich and Nathan Price steadied the ship to be 3 for 28 at stumps. Day 2 Sunday brought showers continuing at regular intervals throughout the day causing a great deal of frustration for ground staff, players and spectators. A break in the weather late in the day allowed play to get underway at 5.08 pm with just 13 overs to be bowled. But after just 12 balls and 4 runs the showers returned and it was all over. With St George needing to win the match the draw meant Randwick Petersham advanced to its second 1st Grade Final. 2nd Grade: Lost @ Chatswood‐‐86 & 9‐149 dec to 180 & 2‐56: We were always on the back foot after Gordon won the toss and sent us in to bat. Perfect seam bowling conditions saw an immediate crash with our first six batsmen back in the pavilion with just 22 on the board. While the tailenders did well to get the score to 86 all out with Rob Wilson scoring an undefeated 22, something spectacular was required to keep our hopes alive. Gordon’s 56 run partnership for the second wicket didn’t help and the Stags passed us three down. While we rattled them a bit to knock them over for 180, posting a big enough target to force an unlikely outright win was more of a hope than a reality. Some swashbuckling batting in the second dig by Eddie Otto (31), John McLoughlin (38) and Rob Wilson (31) left us with a meagre lead of 55 which Gordon scored in 13 overs for a convincing outright win to dash our premiership hopes. A great season for 2’s which may have been that much better had the toss of the coin fallen our way.

21 1st Grade 2010-11 Limited Overs Competition (incl.Twenty20 Comp.) in Summary

Round 1 v Sydney @ Drummoyne Sun 26 September 2010 Won 232 to 227 At 3‐151 we were looking for a big score but when Matt Frith went for 83 there was a bit of a downhill slide and we finished with a disappointing 232 off only 46.1 overs. Burt Cockley struck early and with Sydney 3 for 38 we were looking good. A defiant 63 by experienced state player Dominic Thornley got the Tigers back in it and at 4‐187 they needed only 46. A great spell by Cockley (3‐33 off 10) and new boy Jake Wilson (3‐30 off 9) turned the tide but it wasn’t until the last over that we secured the points.

Round 2 v Fairfield-Liverpool @ Rosedale Sun 10 October 2010 Tie 9-167 to 167 An amazing match with Fairfield’s last man run out on the last ball of the day to tie the game. Earlier we had struggled to post 167 against a spirited attack with only Peter Cross (51 not out) and Matt Frith (34) making any real impression. In reply we were on top with new boy Jake Wilson on target (5‐31 off 10) and at 9‐157 with 11 to get it was ours to lose.

Round 3 v Parramatta @ Coogee Sat 30 October 2010 Won 8-237 to 8-233 We were in trouble at 5‐97 before Anthony Sams (64) and Adam Semple (70) set a new 1st Grade 6th wicket partnership record of 122 in 85 minutes including 13 x 4’s and 5 x 6’s. The Eels were struggling at 7‐179 but an 8th wicket partnership of 54 almost got them there falling just 4 short. Tight bowling by Burt Cockley (3‐50 off 10), Nathan Price (2‐29 off 10) and Jake Wilson (1‐30 off 10) made the difference.

Round 4 v Gordon @ Coogee T20 Match Sun 7 November 2010 Won 1-87 to 86 Gordon batted first and got to 1 for 45 but after Nick Warren (2‐27) grabbed his second wicket it was all downhill for the Stags losing 9 for 41 to be all out for 86 off just 16.5 overs. Bowling honours were shared by Warren, Burt Cockley (1‐16), Jake Wilson (1‐18), Adam Coyte (1‐8), Adam Semple (2‐10) and skipper Scott Coyte (2‐4). In reply it was one‐way traffic with Usman Khawaja (not out 32) making his first Randwick Petersham appearance this season and Australian under 19 star Adam Coyte (41 off 24 with 4 boundaries and 2 sixes) quickly putting the issue beyond doubt with a partnership of 70 off 8 overs. Scott Coyte (11 off 8) put the finishing touches to an innings which took just 9.2 overs to snare the win

Round 5 v Hawkesbury @ Coogee T20 Match Sun 21 November 2010 Won 4-125 to 124 With the Hawks hitting out in the final overs skipper Scott Coyte reduced them from 6 for 121 to 124 all out in the space of a few minutes. His final 6 balls brought 4 wickets including batsmen bowled, caught behind and bowled in 3 successive balls for a hat‐ trick with the 4th following 3 balls later. It was Randwick Petersham’s first hat‐trick in 1st Grade. Earlier pace duo Jake Wilson (2‐18) and Nick Warren (1‐17) applied the pressure causing the Hawks to slump to 4‐40. In the run chase Adam Coyte played superbly to smash 51 off 35 balls with 5 fours and 2 sixes before holing out just inches short of another six. Wicketkeeper Anthony Sams took over where Adam left off hitting 33 from 18 balls to give his team the match with almost 4 overs to spare.

Round 6 v Campbelltown @ Raby T20 Match Sun 5 December 2010 Won 5-136 to 97 Sent in to bat after a week’s rain wasn’t a problem as openers Adam Coyte (38) and Usman Khawaja (26) took to the bowling to put on 57 in quick time. Damien Wall (22) and Nathan Price (25) played sensibly leaving the Ghosts a competitive chase. Nick Warren (2‐18) struck quickly and when Nick Price (3‐25) reduced them from 3‐52 to 6‐71 it was left to Jordan Magro (3‐11) to clean up for a solid win and have the team leading the comp.

Round 7 v Bankstown @ Coogee Sat 16 December 2010 Won 5-175 to 7-174 Sent in to bat Bankstown were soon in trouble against a persistent attack. Nick Warren (3 ‐31), Jake Wilson (1‐17), Nathan Price (1‐21), Jordon Magro (1‐35) and Adam Semple (1‐14) all got among the wickets to restrict the Dogs to 7 for 174 from their 50 overs. In the run chase we were doing it tough at 5 for 90 until Nathan Price (63 off 63 balls) and Adam Semple (48 off 65) put on 85 for the sixth wicket to pass the total in the 35th.

Round 8 v Nth Sydney @ Nth Sydney T20 Match Sun 9 January 2011 Won 7-109 to 108 An amazing crash by Norths after electing to bat saw them at 7 for 25 including 4 run outs. A rally saw them put on 76 for the next 2 wickets before another run out finished the innings in 19.3 overs at 108. We didn’t have everything our own way in reply with Adam Coyte out third ball for 0 quickly followed by Anthony Sams for 6. Adam Semple (29) and Eddie Otto (27) steadied the ship but when we lost 3 for 1 to be 7 for 91 it was anyone’s game. Jordan Magro joined Peter Cross (11 off 12) and hit 15 off 9 balls to get us there by a run with just one ball remaining! The win saw us finish on top of the T20 comp and the only team to bowl all 4 sides out in all 4 matches.

Twenty20 Competition Quarter Final v Mosman @ Coogee Sun 16 January 2011 Lost 9-133 to 9-134 It was a bizarre way to be knocked out of the competition. With one ball to go and eighth‐placed Mosman 9 down needing 2 to win, both batsmen took off after the striker missed the ball. ‘Keeper Anthony Sams tried valiantly to throw down the wicket but the ball missed and carried past the stumps at the bowlers end. A quick peg at the sticks from mid‐on also missed while both batters continued to scurry through for 2 byes to take the match! Pandemonium and shock but it was all over for us! Earlier we had struggled against a new‐ball attack to be 4 for 16 from 4 overs after being 0‐10 off the first 3 balls. With Usman Khawaja (0), Scott Coyte (4) and Damien Wall (0) the previous day’s hero with 96 all back in the pavilion, we had it all to do. A 68 run partnership between Nathan Hauritz (35) and Anthony Sams (39) steadied the ship and our final tally of 133 looked to be enough. Mosman’s openers left nothing to chance however, and came out swinging to be 0‐25 off just 2 overs. Steady bowling from Nick Warren (3‐34), Nathan Hauritz (1‐23) and a fantastic spell of 2‐13 off 4 by skipper Scott Coyte put the pressure on the Whales batters with 7, 8 and 9 all run out in panic mode. But it wasn’t to be as the final two scampered through for the winning byes amid fielding confusion to snatch victory in a breathtaking finish to a Twenty20 match as exciting as it gets!

Limited Overs Comp. Quarter Final v Sydney @ Coogee Sun 30 January 2011 Won 267 to 220 Although our first class players Usman Khawaja (11) and Scott Coyte (27) didn’t manage big scores, three half‐centuries to Anthony Sams (61), Damien Wall (56) and Adam Coyte (52) ensured we would post a competitive score. The 114 run partnership for the 4th wicket by Sams and Adam Coytee set th foundation for a solid outcome. An opening partnership of 49 by Sydney put them on track but when the key wickets of English import and NSW star Dominic Thornely fell to Nick Warren (3‐ 43) and Adam Semple (1‐22) the pendulum swung our way. When skipper Scott Coyte picked up Tim Sparke (97 off 76 balls) it was a matter of mopping up which Alex Graham (2‐27 and a run out) did with great delight to record a great win.

Limited Overs Comp. Semi-Final v Sydney University @ Coogee Sun 20 February 2011 Lost 7-276 to 9-288 With the sides clashing for the second time in two days and Simon Katich returning after 3 months on the sidelines through injury, the match was set up to be a great contest. After Sydney University skipper Hay won the toss on a typically flat Coogee Oval wicket and elected to bat the early wicket of Larkin to Jake Wilson only stalled the powerful student’s line up, as Mail, Moran, and Henry all got among the runs. However, the experience and determination of the RPC bowling unit stood up in the final overs with Alex Graham (3‐66 from 10 overs) and Adam Coyte (2‐24 from 5) able to restrict the students to a par score of 288 after 50 overs. The early loss of John McLoughlin brought Katich to the wicket to join the in‐form Damien Wall. A partnership of 147 saw RPC up with the required run rate. However the loss of Katich (75 from 79 balls) to a brilliant piece of fielding and Wall (77 from 114 balls) in consecutive overs saw the students grab the upper hand. Some great lower order hitting from Adam Semple (49 from 32 balls) kept RPC in with a sniff, tbu with 21 runs required from the 50th over the task was too much with the final total just 12 runs short of victory. A disappointing result for the competition minor premiers.

The Pride of the Baggy Green

To recognise the achievement of players selected in the Randwick Petersham First XI, the club introduced a capping system in 2001-02, its first season.

A player who plays in the First Grade team is presented with a Randwick Petersham “Baggy Green” cap bearing the club’s logo and becomes listed as a club “capped” player. The player is also allocated a sequential number that is displayed on his playing shirt. Numbers are allocated in order of selection although when two or more players are selected at the same time, the allocation is in surname alphabetical order.

Players retain the number they are allocated for all time. The last number allocated will also reflect the total number of players to play in the club’s First Grade team. A total of 76 players have now played in the First XI since the club’s creation 10 years ago.

This season five players made their debut as first graders with Randwick Petersham. Each was presented with his cap by an official or representative of the club, before the start of play in their first match in the top grade.

The capped players this season were:

No. 72 Adam Coyte This former Australian and New South Wales Under 19 left hand batsman joined us from the Campbelltown-Camden club as his brother Scott did a year earlier. He made his debut in the green and gold baggy green in round 1 v Eastern Suburbs where he scored 10 runs batting number 3 and took 0-27.

No. 73 Jake Wilson Jake joined us from St George after a number of successful seasons. A left hand opening bowler he debuted for us in round 1 against Eastern Suburbs where he took 0-23 off 5 overs and failed to score with the bat.

No. 74 Nick Warren Nick is an English right hand opening bowler who played a few games of County Cricket with Warwickshire. He made his Sydney 1st Grade debut for us against Fairfield-Liverpool in round 2 where he took 0-23 off 10 overs and scored 8 runs.

No. 75 Anthony Sams Anthony joined the club from Bankstown as a wicketkeeper / batsman and made his RP debut in round 3 against Sutherland at Glenn McGrath Oval. He scored 23 runs, took one catch behind the stumps and did not concede a bye.

No. 76 Alex Graham Alex is a right hand off-spinner who has played for Parramatta and Geelong. He debuted for the club in round 1 of the Twenty20 competition against Gordon at Coogee where he was not called on to bat or bowl.

24 How we won the Club Championship!!! The Dream Continues

President Mike Whitney and club officials collect the Sydney Smith Cup at the Grade Cricket Awards Night

For the second time and fittingly on the day the club celebrated its 10th season as Randwick Petersham, we won the coveted Club Championship! The Anniversary Dinner at the Sofitel Wentworth quickly turned into a “Night of Nights” when President Mike Whitney made the big announcement on the evening of Saturday 12 March 2011.

After chasing first Bankstown and then St George for most of the season in the Club Championship points tally, it wasn’t until the final day we hit the lead for the first time. Going into the last round we were second placed just 9 points behind St George. It was a matter of which club could win most grades on the last day. Fortunately for us Saints stumbled and lost 2nd and 3rd grades while we won 1st, 2nd, 4th and 5th grades and gained a bonus point in each grade due to the ease of our four wins. The 112 points we gained was the fifth time we had exceeded 100 points during the season and was more than enough to overcome Saints total of 69. North Sydney was the fast finisher also winning 4 out of 5 in the last round to snatch second place some 29 points behind us. Our first Club Championship in 2007‐08 saw defending Champion St George relegated to third place. In an interesting twist St George has this season again finished third to us as defending Champion!

When the decision was taken to merge the old Randwick and Petersham‐Marrickville clubs into a new club in 2001, a plan was hatched to take out the Club Championship within the first 10 years of the new Randwick Petersham entity. We achieved the dream for the first time three years ago in 2007‐08 and the fact we have done it again for the second time in 10 seasons speaks highly for the dedication and commitment of everyone associated with the club. The Club Championship is not won by a single person or team. It is nwo by everyone who makes a contribution no matter how large or how small. It covers officials, players, life members, volunteers, sponsors, vice presidents, supporters, ground staff and families. To every one of you, thank you for what you did to achieve this dream.

The Club Championship is a points based competition calculated by multiplying points gained by 1st Grade by 6, 2nd Grade by 5, 3rd Grade and Poidevin Gray (under 21) by 4, 4th Grade and A W Green Shield (under 16) by 3 and 5th Grade by 2. Win points are 6 for a first innings and 10 for an outright with 3 for a tie. Bonus points apply in 50 overs matches where a win is achieved within 30 overs or at a run‐rate more than one and two‐thirds greater than the opposing team.

To win all 5 grades in a round is a tough ask but to do so on the first innings returns a whopping 120 Club Championship points. This season we had a return of 125 (including a 2nd Grade bonus point) when we won all 5 grades against Parramatta to record our 11th “Greenwash”. We also scored 126 against Penrith with 3 wins; 102 versus Western Suburbs with 3 wins; a huge 122 from 4 wins against Mosman (which finished 1,026 points behind us in last place); and of course 112 in the final round against neighbour University of NSW with another 4 wins.

Final Club Championship points for the top 6 clubs were: Randwick Petersham 1,344; North Sydney 1,315; St George 1,310; Gordon 1,268; Sydney University 1,266; Bankstown 1,251. The furthest we were from the lead was after the first round when we were in 14th place behind Manly after recording only a 5th Grade win from the 5 games while the closest we got to the lead was after the second last round when we were just 9 behind St George. This year the Club Championship had just 6 leaders throughout the season. The particular clubs and the number of occasions they led reads as follows: St George (14); Bankstown (13); Manly (2); Sydney (2); Sydney Uni. (1); Randwick Petersham (1).

In terms of Randwick Petersham and its founding clubs, over their collective 253 playing years the Club Championship has been won on 14 occasions, once each by Marrickville and Petersham, twice by Petersham‐Marrickville (the last occasion 1968‐69), eight times by Randwick with its last win being in 1992‐93 with Randwick Petersham winning twice in 2007‐08 and 2010‐11. Our record in the Club Championship now reads: 2001‐02 7th; 2002‐03 5th; 2003‐04 4th; 2004‐05 3rd; 2005‐06 16th; 2006‐07 5th; 2007‐08 1st; 2008‐09 15th; 2009‐10 7th; 2010‐11 1st.

An additional incentive for us to take out this award is that the Club Championship trophy is named after Sydney Smith CBE, a Life Member of Petersham District Cricket Club. Mr Smith was also President of the NSW Cricket Association from 1935 until 1966.

27 New Records This Season

• The 46 scored by Penrith chasing our 234 in 2nd Grade was the lowest total ever scored by an opponent against us in that grade. The previous 2nd Grade “low score” was the 61 scored by Bankstown in reply to our 7 for 145 in the Twenty20 game at Bankstown Oval just a few weeks earlier. Prior to that the previous record low score was 64 scored by Mosman in 2007‐08. • The 8‐323 scored by St George in 5th Grade at Kensington was the highest team score ever recorded against us. It broke the previous highest total of 7‐315 scored by Sutherland in 2004‐05. • Adam Coyte’s 223 not out in the match against St George at Coogee Oval was the highest score by a Randwick Petersham player in 1st Grade passing the previous best of 189 scored by Usman Khawaja in 2009‐10. It was also the first score above 200 in that grade. At 19 years and 314 days he was the youngest player to make such a score in the 117 years history of Sydney Grade Cricket. • Second Grade’s score of 4‐394 declared against Mosman at Allan Border Oval was the club’s highest innings score in that grade. The previous record was 7‐389 scored against Bankstown in 2008‐09. • Jordan Magro’s 9 wickets for 68 off 18.5 overs in the second innings of the 2nd Grade match against Mosman at Allan Border Oval was the best bowling figures for the club in that grade and the second best overall bowling figures for the club. It was also only the second time 9 wickets in an innings has been achieved, the other occasion being by Nigil Singh against Bankstown in 2008‐09 when he took 9 for 43. The previous best 2nd Grade bowling performance was 7 for 20 by James Byrne also against Mosman in 2004‐05. • In Poidevin Gray, Alex Graham (16 wickets) broke James Byrne’s previous record of 13 taken in 2002‐ 03; Alexander Wynn joined Neil Cohen and Matthew Taylor with the most number of wicketkeeping dismissals (8); Nicholas Stapleton with 5 catches passed the previous record of 4 set by Usman Khawaja in 2004‐05; the 68 scored against Hawkesbury was the lowest score for the club in this competition with the 96 against Northern District in 2001‐02 the previous worst.

Worthy of Mention

• The 8 wickets for 111 from 25 overs by Grant Rimmer in 3rd Grade against Sydney University at Sydney University 2 was only the third time a bowler had finished with 8 wickets in an innings and was the first time in 3rd Grade. The previous two occasions were in 5th Grade with Simon McKenzie taking 8‐34 in 2004‐05 against Bankstown and Matthew Hilder taking 8 for 69 against Easts in 2008‐ 09. • The 202 opening partnership by Eddie Otto and Troy Brewster was only the 10th time 200 runs had been exceeded in a partnership for the club. Of those 10 occasions Eddie has been involved in two such 200 runs partnerships and Troy Brewster three. • The 62 scored in round 2 by 3rd Grade against Fairfield‐Liverpool was the second lowest total recorded in that grade for the club. The 67 against Sutherland in the following match was the third lowest behind the 51 scored by 3rd Grade against North Sydney in 2002‐03.

28 New Partnership Records 2010-11 Season

New Club Records (All Grades)‐ No new records were set this season. New Club Individual Grade Records ♦ With the 1st Grade score 5‐101 chasing 226 against Penrith at Coogee, Damian Wall (96) and Adam Semple (35 not out) scored 133 for the 6th wicket to create a new record for that grade which had been set earlier in the season when Anthony Sams and Adam Semple (again) put on 122 against Parramatta at Coogee. ♦ After winning the toss with the temperature reaching in excess of 40 degrees, we appeared to have lost the initiative at 4 for 46 in the 1st Grade match against St George at Coogee. However, Adam Semple joined Adam Coyte and the pair put on a new 1st Grade record of 232 for the 5th wicket before Semple was dismissed for 101, his maiden 1st Grade ton. The 19 years old Coyte ended up with 223 not out, a new 1st Grade record score and his first century for the club. Their partnership passed the previous record of 164 established by Nathan Hauritz and Shawn Flegler in 2006‐07. ♦ Opening the batting against Mosman at Allan Border Oval Eddie Otto (118) and Troy Brewster (113) put on 202 for the first wicket to set a new record for 2nd Grade. The previous best was 122 set in 2004‐05 by Richard Phillips and Matthew Taylor against University of NSW. ♦ When the 5th wicket fell with the score at just 138 in the 3rd Grade match against Manly‐Warringah at Petersham Oval, it was left to Andrew Williams (47) and Nick Charlwood (34 not out) to resurrect the innings which they did with a new record partnership of 81 for the 6th wicket. Wil Halstead and Cameron Gray held the previous record of 75 set in 2007‐08 against University of New South Wales. ♦ Opening the innings in 4th Grade against Sutherland at Petersham Oval, David Bourke (70) and Ryan Wanagaru (105) playing in his first game in 4’s and only his second match for the club, put on 172 for the first wicket. This passed the previous best of 155 by Matthew Taylor and Troy Brewster against UTS Balmain (now Sydney) in 2002‐03. ♦ At 6 for 87 at tea on a raging hot Saturday 4th Grade were in trouble against St George at Harold Fraser Oval. When Matt Hilder (47) joined Nick Stapleton (160) the pair put on 115 for the 7th wicket to set a new 4th Grade record passing the 95 between David Townsend and Peter Devlin scored against Penrith in 2004‐05. ♦ We were on the back foot at 3 for 13 in the 4th Grade match against Fairfield‐Liverpool at Kensington Oval when skipper Andrew Harrison joined opener David Bourke. When Bourke (60) was dismissed with the score 166 the pair had set a new record of 153 for the 4th wicket in that grade. Harrison (92) narrowly missed his century. The previous record was 142 set in 2001‐02 against Campbelltown by David Bourke and Neil Cohen. ♦ At 7 for 1058 chasing 16 in the Poidevin Gray match against Mosman at Allan Border Oval, wicketkeeper Alex Wynn (24 not out) and Mitchell Wright (36 not out) put on 66 in 39 minutes for the 8th wicket to snatch victory and a place in the Qualifying Finals. This broke the previous 8th wicket partnership record of 52 between Nick Charlwood and Gabe Budwee in 2009‐10. ♦ Our A W Green Shield team in their first game of the 2010‐11 season recorded an unfinished partnership of 109 scored by Tom McCarthy (36 not out) and Ethan Grinham (51 not out) for the 5th wicket to break the previous record of 104 set in 2004‐05 by Mark Carroll and Sean McInnes against Uni of NSW. The new partnership record was timely as the score was 4 for 21 chasing 129 when they came together. ♦ At 5 for 111 chasing 216 our A W Green Shield team was staring down the barrel in the match against Uni of NSW at Village Green, until Ethan Grinham (48) and John Halias (43) got together in a new record partnership of 79 for the 6th wicket which steered the team to victory. The previous best was 61 by Brandon McLean and Daniel Thomas against Sydney Uni in 2008‐09. ♦ A real batting slump saw our A W Green Shield score at 7 for 124 against Mosman at Allan Border Oval before Hayden McLean (26) batting at no. 9 joined opening batsman Nathan Ellis (97). The pair put on 54 for the 8th wicket to create a new record breaking the previous mark of 50 by Rob Close and Alex Tomkins in 2005‐06.

Worthy of Mention ♦ At 2‐65 Simon Katich (94) and Scott Coyte (106 not out) came together and put on 141 for the 3rd wicket at Coogee in the 1st Grade match against Manly‐Warringah. The 1st Grade 3rd wicket partnership record is held by Simon Katich and Usman Khawaja wth 188 against St George at Hurstville in 2007‐08. ♦ We were in trouble at 5‐97 against Parramatta at Coogee in 1st Grade before Anthony Sams (64) and Adam Semple (70) set a new 1st Grade 6th wicket partnership record of 122 in 85 minutes which included 13 x 4’s and 5 x 6’s. Usman Khawaja and Tim Laws had held the previous record of 112 against Gordon set in 2007‐08. The new record however, was broken a few weeks later when Damian Wall and Adam Semple put 3on 13 against Penrith (see above). ♦ Rodney Stafford came within 6 runs of breaking his own record of 102 for the 1st Grade 9th wicket partnership scored against Mosman in 2003‐04 with Nathan Rosser when he and Rob Wilson (27) put on 97 against Sydney University at Uni 1. When the innings came to a close Rodney remained unconquered on 64. ♦ After losing 5 for 13 against Parramatta in 4th Grade, a fantastic 95 not out by Englishman Toby Finzel and 58 from Chris Singh enabled them to put on 137 for the 6th wicket and go on and win by 45 runs. The record is 163 held by Fabian Heaton and Nathan Rosser established in 2004‐05 against Sydney Uni. ♦ With the score 6‐116 chasing 248 against Sutherland in 5th Grade at Tonkin Park, youngsters Nick Saady (62) and Sam Muir (46) got together in ha 7t wicket partnership which yielded 101 runs. The record is 113 held by John Tierney and Mark Carroll since 2003‐04.

29 1st Grade Report by Scott Coyte, Captain Position in Competition: 2nd 15 wins; 1 tie; 5 losses; 5 draws

By any measure 2010-11 was an outstanding season for the Club as well as the 1st Grade team, both at an individual and team level. And while the 1sts didn’t get to lift the Belvidere Cup at the end of a gripping Grand Final, to be runners-up was still a mighty achievement.

To put things in context, 1st Grade finished on top of the Twenty20 and the One Day Limited Overs competitions at the completion of the preliminary rounds before going down in the finals. We also finished second in the Belvidere Cup preliminary rounds, ultimately winning through to the Grand Final against Sydney University. We lost just two games in the 19 premiership rounds which was less than any other team including the premiers Sydney University which lost four.

The batting line-up was led by youngsters, Damian Wall (804 at 33.5) and Adam Coyte (759 at 34.5). They were both rewarded for their efforts with selection in the NSW Futures Cup Team.

Our leading wicket-takers were Nick Warren (47 at 16.5) and Jake Wilson (39 at 19.8). They both bowled tirelessly whenever called upon and invariably gave us a break-through. Anthony Sams (43 dismissals) was brilliant behind the stumps and showed what he was capable of with the bat to get us out of some difficult situations. NSW Second X1 Representative Nathan Price was our most consistent player scoring 573 runs at 40.9 with the bat and taking 23 wickets at 28.2 and is destined for bigger things.

Adam Semple produced one of his best seasons and was a rock in the middle order scoring 584 runs at 34.4 which included his maiden 1st Grade century when he scored 101 against St George.

Serious injuries to Australian and NSW players Simon Katich, Usman Khawaja, Nathan Hauritz and Burt Cockley at various stages certainly didn’t help our cause but did provide opportunities for younger players to step up and make an impact. Whenever our representative players took to the field they performed with distinction and their enthusiasm to represent the club at 1st Grade level and pass on their knowledge gave a lift to the whole team.

1st Grade 2010-11 Back Row: Chris McLeod (Scorer), Rob Huxley (Coaching Co-ordinator), Simon Katich, Jake Wilson, Anthony Sams, Nathan Price, Adam Semple, Damian Wall, Grant Rimmer, (Bill Anderson (Director of Operations). Front Row: Usman Khawaja, Adam Coyte, Scott Coyte (Captain), Alex Graham, Nick Warren

The emergence of youngsters Damian Wall, Adam Coyte, Alex Graham, Anthony Sams and Nathan Price was a feature of our season. Provided they put in the hard work they all have the ability to move on to the next level. Adam’s 223 not out against St.George was a truly remarkable innings while Damian’s 137 against Wests was a wonderful mixture of power and precision.

Every player made vital and significant contributions at different stages as we headed towards the Finals. Long term players Eddie Otto, John McLoughlin, Jordan Magro, Rod Stafford and Rob Wilson along with newcomer Peter Cross were always reliable and gave it everything when called upon. Brandon McLean and Grant Rimmer chipped in to help out as 12th man whenever required and both did a great job on and off the field.

30 The team was fortunate to have such a fantastic group of supporters. Can I thank all the coaches and volunteers for putting in so much time and effort to help us. From Sue, Robin, Julie and Fay in the canteen to Peter, Cec, Barry, Billy and Hux in the change rooms, our scorer Chris McLeod, as well as Spike, Devo, Skeweys, Stan Beale and Richard McCord at training. Your efforts have played a big part in anything we have been able to achieve as a team.

Apart from the obvious success on the field, this was a team united in the dressing rooms and socially. It was an honour and a pleasure at all times to lead this team of great mates and the signs are there that given an ounce of luck a Premiership can’t be far away.

The 1st Grade Grand Final Randwick Petersham v Sydney University @ Bankstown Oval Friday, Saturday, Sunday—1, 2, 3 April 2011

Won by Sydney University on the first innings 282 to 228

Having sent Sydney University in to bat it was a dream start for Randwick Petersham skipper Scott Coyte when he trapped Sydney Grade’s highest run‐getter in front for nought with his sixth ball. And while it was another 45 minutes before Moran lofted a gentle on‐drive to Adam Semple off Nathan Price to have the students 2‐43, the bowlers had the upper hand. Lunch was looking good with the score 3 for 63 after captain Will Hay nicked change bowler Adam Coyte to ‘keeper Sams for 19. Immediately after the break opening bowler Nick Warren added to his season’s healthy wickets tally when one‐time Test player gave Sams his second catch. Warren made it a double strike in his next over bowling Faraday for 2 to have Uni reeling at 5 for 67. The carnage continued when Semi‐Final century‐maker Nick Larkin had his middle stump shattered by Nathan Price for 8 and umpire Darren Goodyer raised his finger to a ball from left‐ armer Jake Wilson which rapped Kierath on the pads in front. At 7 for 99 it was panic in the University camp and jubilation among the growing number of Randwick Petersham supporters.

Disappointment at the not‐out call when James Crowley appeared to edge to ‘keeper Sams off spinner Alex Graham was a point of discussion when tea was taken with the score teetering at 7 for 140. But no‐one could have forecast the resolve of Crowley in his support for the last of the recognised batsmen as the score continued to mount. The pair brought out the best in Grand Final cricket as they put together a partnership of 165 in 254 minutes for the eighth wicket, the highest in Sydney 1st Grade Cricket this season. Alex Graham broke the marathon partnership on day two Saturday when he had Crowley caught by Warren for 50 off 208 balls when the score was a healthy 264. He followed that up 18 runs later when Adam Semple took an excellent over‐head catch to remove Toyer for 6 then had the hero of the innings Henry neatly caught in the covers by Damian Wall to complete the innings at 282. With scores of 66 and 66 in two earlier matches between the teams this season, Scott Henry showed he has a liking for the Randwick Petersham bowlers with a score of 132 off 290 balls with 10 boundaries and a six made in an amazing 360 minutes. Graham returned the best bowling figures with 3 for 30 from 21 overs. With 30 minutes to negotiate before lunch Randwick Petersham opener Nathan Price was removed lbw for 2 after receiving a painful blow to the ankle from a return throw the ball before. After lunch Usman Khawaja and Damian Wall took the fight to the students and were beginning to pile on the runs when Khawaja was struck in front to be out for 22 with the score 2‐74. Simon Katich joined Wall who was in good touch striking 9 boundaries and a huge six off Casson which landed on the roof of the Steve and Mark Waugh stand. But with his score on 67 Uni hero Scott Henry snapped up a hot chance at point to reduce the Randy Petes’ to 3‐119.

With the light fading in cool and blustery conditions the rugged‐up crowd looked like they were at a mid‐winter football match rather than Grade Cricket’s showpiece season finale’. But in the centre the battle continued with Katich working the ball nicely through the gaps and building a promising partnership with 19 years old Adam Coyte. With the score at 161 however, Coyte got a good one from Greg Mail who ran one across the face of his bat to have him caught in the gully for a well‐made 27. Captain Scott Coyte joined Katich with Randwick Petersham supporters keen for both to keep their wickets intact as stumps rapidly approached. Simon soon after brought up his 50 but with the score at 174 Coyte could not resist “Chinaman” bowler Beau Casson and his failed attempt to hit him out of the ground resulted in an easy stumping. Adam Semple was the new batsman and he and Katich safely guided the innings through to the close of play leaving Sunday a promoters dream with a tantalising 101 runs to get with 5 wickets remaining. Sunday brought clear skies and sunshine which was the best weather of the three days. The air of excitement in the Randwick Petersham camp quickly turned to gloom however, when Kat spooned a catch to cover without adding to his overnight score of 53. With the introduction of the new ball soon after, new batsman Anthony Sams edged to the ‘keeper for a duck and we were struggling at 7 for 196. Greg Mail was doing plenty with the new cherry and followed up by knocked over Semple’s castle when he shouldered arms.

32 Alex Graham was the last semblance of hope and a few attacking strokes including a towering six saw the score climb to 228 before his partner Nick Warren (4) gave Casson a soft caught‐and‐bowled. Next ball Mail (5‐30) completed an excellent morning for the students when he had Graham caught at slip for an entertaining 23 and it was all over for Randwick Petersham. From looking good at 4‐174 we lost the last 7 wickets for 67 to lose by 54 runs and end what was an outstanding season on a disappointing note. In a strange way the match was one of “3’s” and “7’s” with Uni’s first 7 scoring 99 and our last 7 going for 67. Our first 3 scored 161 while their last 3 totalled 183.

This was our second 1st Grade Grand Final defeat having gone down to Eastern Suburbs at Coogee in 2003‐04 in similar circumstances. On that occasion our bowlers quickly reduced Easts to 5 for 15 before a 6th wicket partnership of 152 gave them the impetus to continue on for a total of 273. In the run chase we were 5 for 175 before losing our last 5 wickets for 59 to lose the match by 39 runs. It is also interesting to note that in that match captain Paul Toole won the toss and sent Easts in to bat, a situation mirrored in this season’s Grand Final.

First Grade Premierships have eluded the club and its predecessors in recent years. Although collectively the founding clubs won a total of 11 First Grade titles it has been 27 seasons since the “Belvidere Cup” last sat on our mantelpiece. Our most recent win was by Randwick in 1983‐84 while Petersham‐Marrickville’s last premiership was 1974‐75. Since their last premierships, Randwick has contested one Grand Final and Petersham‐Marrickville two. Randwick Petersham has been runner‐up in two Grand Finals in the past 7 seasons.

33 2nd Grade Report by David Mitchell, Captain Position in Competition: 3rd 9 wins; 4 losses; 4 draws

Nailing the Club Championship on the final weekend of the regular season was a terrific effort and one duly celebrated that evening by the whole club at the 10 year Anniversary Dinner. 2nd Grade was hoping to recreate those carnivale scenes by taking home the Abert Cup over the following few weeks. Sadly, and for the second year in a row we fell just short losing to Gordon in the Semi-Final. Finishing 3rd in 2nd Grade is an excellent achievement and one that we can all look back on with pride. There is however, a small sense of lingering disappointment. One look at the squad, peppered with 1st graders and youngsters not far from joining them, and you realize that this side should be battling for the Cup. As with last year getting knocked out in the Qualifying Final we resolved to go further and so it will be again as we look with determination to going one better next year.

We suffered a big loss after round 2 when our much fancied and heavily relied on opening bowler Rob “I’m better looking than my brother” Close went down with a season ending injury. While we missed his banter in the sheds, a dominating display from our bowlers throughout the whole season meant that most of the blokes had got over his loss by seasons end. We can’t wait to have you back Rob. 'Groucho' needs a bit of sting in his attack. Led by the Dark Prince James Tyson, 37 wickets at an average of 16.59 makes compelling reading. If he ever learns how, he’ll enjoy reading what a great season he had. Devastating with the new pill, and almost unplayable with a bit of cloud cover, 'Tyso' made more than one good player look not up to standard. ‘Tyso’ improved every part of his game this year in which he voted himself most valuable batsman, however the one area in decline was his drinks captaincy. When he turned up to Waverley Oval with a tub full of Sarsaparilla we knew it was going to be a long season.

His new ball hunting partner, the now unflappable Mr. Jordan Magro took 32 wickets at the incredible average of 13.69 in the limited games he played 2’s. A Bob Massey-esque spell of 9 for 68 was the performance of the season. ‘Mag’s’ unerring ability to bowl long probing spells tells of a determined and disciplined mind and will no doubt result in many 1st Grade wickets. It was a pleasure to watch. Speaking of pleasures, if you’ve never watched Nick Charlwood flicking his blonde fringe at the top of his mark, then you haven’t lived. 22 wickets at an average of 17.18 in his debut season in 2’s has surpassed even Andrew Harrison’s predictions “Mitch, this kid’s gonna be huge”. Swing and seam, just an irresistible combination.

2nd Grade 2010-11 Back Row: Peter Cross, Matthew Yiend, James Tyson, John McLoughlin, Robert Wilson, Nick Charlwood. Front Row: Eddie Otto, Troy Brewster, David Mitchell (Captain), Brandon McLean, Jordan Magro.

34 With such a strong quick attack, we were perfectly balanced with an excellent spin attack. Our two offies, Rob Wilson and Alex Graham were great contributors throughout the season with 16 and 13 wickets apiece. Both were rewarded with stints in 1st Grade which is great credit to them considering how strong our top side is. Brandon McLean had an excellent season in 2’s. 15 wickets with his highly promising leg breaks, this season provided a great grounding in continuing his growth into a top grade all-rounder. We were lucky enough to get ‘Rocket’ Rodney Stafford back for a few games to turn a few poles and bomb a few big sixes. I’ve been lucky enough to play with Rocket throughout my career and I always get excited when he’s got the ball in his hands or he’s out in the middle sticking his bum out, holding his bat like he’s marking centre. I’m still amazed how well he hits the ball.

Our batting improved this season from last year and can be directly linked to our opening duo in Alex Scascia (461 runs @ 30.73) and Troy Brewster (365 @ 36.50). Both quality and experienced players, they can look back on this as a defining season where they both proved that they could dominate in 2nd Grade. Never ones to talk about their own achievements, you can expect even bigger things from this humble duo.

Peter Cross gave us great starch at no. 3 with a terrific season (489 runs @ 44.45). 'Crossy’s' brutal 139 not out at Hurstville Oval allowed him to claim his bet with the skipper to get a bowl. His opportunity came in the Semi-Final with a ball that shaped in and seamed away and took the edge to ensure a full off-season of constant and daily reminders to the skipper. We were incredibly lucky to gain the services of Johnny McLoughlin (282 runs @ 32.25) and Eddie Otto (205 runs @ 41) who along with 'Crossy' showed why they are 1st Grade bats. David Mitchell (349 runs @ 24.93), Matthew Yiend (255 runs @ 21.25) and Brenton Barker (106 @ 26) were always happy to follow this top order and contribute. Along with ‘Yiendy’s’ batting contribution, he had an excellent year with the gloves, cut up a beautiful watermelon, brought a lovely selection of lollies and contributed his beautiful wife Nicole to scoring duties. In this aspect Nicole was ably supported by the great man Stanley Jonathan Beal who put in a huge effort to stay awake and sporadically score a few overs. Thanks also to the ‘Wizard’ Grant Rimmer, ‘Nasty’ Nick Warren, Umayr Amir and Matt Hilder and our mascot Hilbre for their contributions.

To Cec and Peter, we love you club legends. To Robin and Sue, I can’t describe how much we love you for your time, efforts, care and appeals. Long may we be blessed enough for you girls to keep turning up.

James Tyson recorded the club’s 10th hat-trick when he took the magic 3 wickets in 3 balls against Parramatta at Old King’s Oval. The first was lbw, the second bowled and the third was another lbw with the umpire raising his finger skyward to loud cheers from his teammates! Congratulations James!

3rd Grade Report by Nigil Singh, Captain Position in Competition: 10th 6 wins; 7 losses; 2 draws

“From little things, big things grow”. That we even had a sniff of making the semis going into the last round was a minor miracle given that we had scored a total of just 129 runs in Rounds 2 and 3. This year was one of re-building for the 3’s with 5 of our players in Round 1 making their grade debut with the club. We had some games early where we were frankly not up to 3rd Grade standard, but as year progressed the lessons learned held us in good stead and we in fact played very good cricket after Christmas.

Some statistics that might offer an insight into our season are: - 6 wins and 7 losses for a final finishing spot of 10th - 2 wins from 9 pre Christmas and 4 wins (1 outright) from 6 post Christmas matches - 2 bowlers in the top 5 3rd Grade wicket takers for the SCA (N. Singh 35 wickets – 2nd, M. Singh 32 wickets – 4th) - top batsman (Toby Finzel) was placed number 11 in the comp. having only played 2 games before Christmas - Grant Rimmer took 20 of his 23 wickets in 3rd Grade after Christmas - we beat last year’s premiers and lost by one wicket to the eventual premiers after giving their last 2 batsman a couple of lives.

From this one could paint the picture of a team that: - struggled to find consistency early in the season as we tried to gel as a team - we were one of the form teams of the comp. after Christmas – but too much work to do to catch the top 6. - struggled to find consistency with the bat, too often waiting for the big innings instead of working in partnerships

As always, statistics do not give a holistic view of the season. With players like Brad Maguire, Alexander Wynn, Andrew Williams, Umayr Amir, Toby Finzel, Ryan Wanagaru and Mitchell Wright all making their debuts for the club and playing a big chunk of the season in 3’s, much of the season was spent creating a team atmosphere and instilling “the pride of the baggy green”. Once developed (and once everyone learned how to sing the song without need of the book) this team had some fun and I think caused a few others to look over their shoulders in the run home.

3rd Grade 2010-11 Back Row: Alexander Wynn, William Passas, Grant Rimmer, Umayr Amir, Mitchell Wright. Front Row: Andrew Williams, Brad Maguire, Nigil Singh (Captain), Melvin Singh, Toby Finzel.

37 The Players (7 games or more): Alexander Wynn: A young man going places. Showed great adaptability for the team batting anywhere from 3 to 8. As he works on his ‘keeping he will no doubt progress through to the higher grades. A great head on his shoulders and once his voice breaks, will turn into one of the best sledgers in grade cricket. Melvin Singh: The Fat Controller showed us what a good player he is. Not to belittle his 34 wickets, but the big man would have easily gone past the 40 mark if not for some poor fielding. Useful head to bounce ideas off too. Terrible on the circuit but handy to make sure the tea is finished. Andrew Williams: A great pick up for the club this year. Struggled due to work commitments during the week, but a strong pre- season and a new cushy government job with see Andrew hold his own in the higher grades next year. Brad Maguire: This young man has a lot of talent as shown by his selection in the NSW U17’s team. Struggled to make an impact for RPC but impressed a lot with his calmness and cricket knowledge. I expect big things from Brad in the coming years as he fills out a bit more and discovers his game. Umayr Amir: A big bustling fast-bowler who comfortably fits the stereotype too. Started off the season with a bang taking “6 for” on debut. Capable of bowling some unbelievable spells. A bit of work on his fitness and his ability to bowl second and third spells will see Umayr bag a lot more poles for the club. Toby Finzel: Once Toby got into the season he absolutely killed it scoring 392 in 9 matches which was a great return. -like in his ability to get out between 50 and 60. A good pair of hands to boot. Won’t ever forget his first night out in Kings Cross or the paddy wagon trip home! Ryan Wanagaru: Two Words: Brian Lara. The Guru did his best to match the man in both his mercurialness on the field and in his exploits off the field. Started the year off with a bang but work commitments held him back from training and he struggled as a result. Another great new recruit to the club. He could be anything. Brenton Barker: Missed the first few weeks due to his crossing of the English Channel but showed glimpses of what he is capable of with never really getting into top gear. As always Brenno led the guys around the field with his banter and is always willing to bounce ideas on the field. A decent off-season will see him again push for higher grades. Grant Rimmer: A captain’s dream. Every team needs a G Rimmer. Will do anything you ask of him – including bowling into the wind for 23 overs straight (he got 8 wickets doing it though!) – and do it with aplomb. The catalyst for our charge home and always good for a cheeky tip on what to back in the 4th at Morphetville. Richard McCord: Couldn’t leave the big fella out. Turned up to every game with a heap of energy. Rang me every Friday with the weekend forecast. Played some of the best air guitar since Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure and gave us a new “little known” club statistic every game!

To everyone who contributed in 3rd Grade at various times through the year, thank you for all your hard work. There are many players who I could not single out who were integral to the team after Christmas but I need to mention two: William Passas and Mitch Wright who are both very good players. Will has way too much class to play 3’s and I expect him to be back pushing 1’s next year. Mitch is an athlete. Once he learns how to curb his natural flair in certain situations he will be a good all-rounder for the club.

I’d also like to thank our supporters for helping out whenever asked. Andrew Wynn for doing the scoring for our away games and my girlfriend Amy for helping with the tea’s and putting up with me being in a foul mood on Saturday nights for most of the first half of the season.

In summing up I’d like to think that we started something this year. I really enjoyed the challenge of bringing this team together. The onus is upon us to work harder next year and go one step closer to playing that weekend in April. The talent is there, not only in this team, but in the grades below.

To the club in whole however, what a year! I look forward to backing up next year and going back-to-back in the Club Championship!

4th Grade Report

by Andrew Harrison, Captain Position in Competition: 7th 8 wins; 6 losses; 1 draw

Up and down like a fiddlers elbow, a roller-coaster of emotion and a season of two halves! With a new captain and a talented mix of youth and experience, there were high hopes for 4th Grade this season and anything less than a finals berth would be disappointing. Day 1 of the season was one to forget … and we quickly did. We went on to convincingly win the next 5 rounds and sit on top of the ladder at the completion of Round 6. Even though we went into Christmas with 2 losses and a wash-out, spirits and confidence remained high among as we had only slipped to equal third at the break.

Going down by 4 runs against equal third Penrith first game after Christmas was heart-breaking but 2 wins in succession after this looked to have us back on track and entrenched in the top 6. With lowly Sydney University, Mosman & UNSW to play many thought our finals spot was a mere formality. While the 4 run loss to Penrith was hard to take, losses to both Sydney Uni and Mosman in Rounds 13 & 14 will be remembered as the most disappointing part of our season. This left us needing to win the last round with a bonus point and 1 of 4 match results to go our way. We won with a bonus point, however no results went our way and we finished the season in 7th place only 3 points out of the top 6. It was an enjoyable last game as we demolished UNSW, but the realisation that our season was over was a bitter pill to swallow. Upon reflection, it was an extremely enjoyable season (especially when we were winning) with a fantastic playing group which genuinely enjoyed each other’s success and gave 100% each time they took the field.

Season Highlight: The rise of Nick Stapleton. “Stapo” has been one of those private school kids we only see for half a season and while he showed good technique and ability he didn’t make a lot of runs. This season was the turning point. His 100 not out against Many was faultless and the 160 from some quality St George bowling showed he is on his way to the top grades.

Season Lowlight: The losses against Sydney Uni and Mosman were bad, but the real lowlight was probably the pink shirt Chris Singh wore after a game at Petersham.

4th Grade 2010-11 Back Row: Daniel Laus, Alex Tomkins, Ryan Wanagaru, David Bourke, Addison Grinham, Gabriel Budwee, John Connell (Manager). Front Row: Matthew Hilder, Nicholas Stapleton, Andrew Harrison (Captain), Fabian Heaton, Chris Singh. Absent: Richard McCord.

The Volunteers: A big thank you to our manager John Connell. The superb lunches & teas, the post-game libations, the rub- downs and his baritone singing voice were all appreciated (even though Mitch Wright didn’t rate the cordial mix at Penrith). Also a huge thanks to Nellie and Joe Budwee for doing everything and anything they could to help out. The boys are extremely grateful for your support as they were for the work by our scorer Richard McCord.

Player Summary (6 games or more) Andrew Harrison: As a captain; strong leader, tactical genius and source of inspiration for those around him. As a player: an average season by normal standards. Would have liked to have taken more wickets with the new ball and after a promising start with the bat, lack of training really began to take its toll. David Bourke: My right-hand man. The 4th Grade side was a pleasure to captain alongside vice-captain Bourke. While I only took about 5% of his suggestions on the field, his vice-captaincy off the field was tremendous. Bourkey showed what he is capable of with the bat scoring 420 runs @ 30 which could have been a lot more if he ran harder between the wickets (we are not holding our breath on this changing). Nick Stapleton: He played 7 games with us this season and made 340 runs @ 57. What was more impressive was the way he made them. I am looking forward to seeing Stapo climb up the grades over the next couple of seasons. Las Kannangara: The most impressive thing about Las this season was his positive attitude. Giving up the keeping gloves, Las threw himself into the fielding aspect of the game and became our best fielder. He averaged about 21 with the bat in the 7 games he played in 4’s with a couple of classy half centuries and a very gutsy 30 against Mosman while seriously injured (hope you can still have children, Las). Alex Tomkins: One of my favourite players. He can bat, bowl and field at a higher grade level. The only problem is getting Alex to produce this over an extended period of time. This is not far away and when it happens, it will be a pleasure to watch. Stay tuned. David Townsend: One of the most disappointing things about missing the finals this season was the realisation I may have played my last game with Towno. He has been a great mentor for me and a host of 4th Grade players over the past 4 or 5 years. The role reversal this year was enjoyable and I suspect Towno may have enjoyed playing without the (c) next to his name enough to go around again next season …we can only hope. Fabian Heaton: What a pleasure it was to have ‘the little master’ back on board this season. His energy and passion is unrivalled. 20 catches and 6 stumpings for the season showed his class is ageless. Also his ability to appeal for almost everything showed his one-eyed opinions of umpiring decisions will never change … nor would we want them to. Chris Singh: Over the past few seasons Chris has been close to, if not the, best 4th Grade player in the competition. His bowling this season, however was rubbish … and he still took 31 wickets @ 12.1. While his fashion sense is questionable, there is no questioning his cricketing ability and I am hoping he can strap up and go around for another year again, Singhy – we have unfinished business. Matt Hilder: Waltzing Matilda was a great addition to our line up and showed some of the form that saw him capture the player of the season award a couple of years ago. Matt has a complete game – he made about 200 runs, took 17 wickets and is in my opinion, the best slip fieldsman in the club (although he could use some work fielding off his own bowling). Gabriel Budwee: Another of my favourite players. ‘Buds’ had a sluggish start to the season but certainly warmed up with both bat and ball and finished in style with a magnificent spell of 4 for 6 off 10 overs in the last round. He picked up 20 wickets @ 19 and provided endless comedy for the boys on the field and in the sheds after the game. Get in there! Daniel Laus: Daniel continues to improve as a leg-spinner and this year took 27 wickets @ 15 despite a number of games played on pitches that didn’t suit the spin. Lausy is a fierce competitor and a great bloke to have in the team. I have no doubt Lausy is capable of performing well in higher grades and I’m sure that opportunity will come soon.

42 5th Grade Report

Position in Competition: 7th 8 wins: 5 losses; 2 draws

It’s hard to imagine that a team finishing in 7th place out of 20 in the competition and just 4 points from a place in the Final Series could have had its worst season in 10 years. Because of the club’s absolute domination of the 5th Grade competition that was the unfortunate situation the team found itself in this season.

In our 10 years, Randwick Petersham has won the Premiership twice, been 2nd three times, finished 3rd three times and finished 7th twice. Our previous “worst” finish was 7th in our first year when we were penalised 6 points for having failed to advise an opposing team covers were not laid.

This season a total of 27 players took part in 5th Grade including three current A W Green Shield members. Kushaal Ram scored most runs with 342 which included scores of 51, 51 and a top mark of 59 against St George. Mitchell Jones was the best bowler with 23 wickets at 12.78 runs apiece with his best 5 for 27 against Manly-Warringah. Peter Devlin was the captain and his long term experience was of enormous benefit to the many young players in the team. Lyall Gardner

44 Metropolitan Cup Competition

The Metropolitan Cricket Competition continued its evolution this year with most of the teams operating as colt’s sides. Unfortunately no shire clubs entered teams so the comp missed out on one unique aspect of its structure. 10 grade clubs entered teams with the Randy Petes being the only club this year to field two teams. Gordon re-entered this year with a very strong side and deservedly took out the title from Bankstown which was the other consistently strong team all season. Bankstown fielded a lot of its premiership winning A W Green Shield side. The gap between 5th Grade and Metro Cup is now quite small.

Our Joe White’s 374 was the highest run aggregate in the competition. Neale Crawford with 308 was 4th. Paul Metzler’s 262 was 8th and Chris Barkat was 20th with 194. Julian Foster-Pullman’s 20 wickets ranked him 4th in the competition. Balmain’s Adrian Slepikowski took an amazing 28 wickets in 7 matches to lead the Metro comp. Our Cam Fowler and Andrew Sprowls each had 16 wickets to be placed 10th and 12th.

The administration was handled for the second year by the very competent no-fuss Glenn Workman of South Sydney and everyone involved is indebted to him for his virtually solo effort. All the grounds were of consistently good quality which always helps.

At RP we found the competition tough which is testament to the improved quality of the comp not the lack of quality of RPCC. As in recent seasons we organised our teams into a senior’s team and a junior’s team. Anthony McGinness and John Stewart led the senior team as Gold with the assistance of our own “Mr Cricket” George Frazakis. George often kept wicket for the first half and bowled wrist spin for the second after opening the batting. The Green junior team was led by the “colt of old regret” Denis Hinds. As in previous seasons we discovered half a dozen new young players and you will read more in the Green report about Henry Thornton, Ravin De Silva, Xavier Foster-Pullman and Jaya Murdita who have already been offered lucrative contracts for next year.

The Green team finished 7th and the Gold team chased the field home. We will need to put more effort into this competition next year if we are to be in the final mix for the title. Our senior’s team premiership three seasons ago is now just a beautiful memory. Hard work will be our task next season.

RPCC GREEN by Denis Hinds

From very humble beginnings this team grew into a very competitive unit in a competition that was of higher standard than previous years. Our first game was away to the eventual premiers Gordon and we took the field short on troops and cursing those higher grade players who had put some other activities ahead of their commitment to the Club. The Gordon team was super strong that match and gave us a towelling. The following rounds included the strong Sydney Uni and Bankstown sides. Just before Christmas we were sitting on the bottom of the table wondering what went wrong although most of our losses had been close. New recruit Paul Metzler from Bega, English import Joe White and our home grown Julian Foster-Pullman were doing the best for us but lacked support. Batting 6 Paul showed lots of nous to put together several respectable scores as the tail fell around him (41 v Gordon, 62 v Balmain, 51 v Nth Sydney). Joe White looked comfortable opening the batting (73 v Bankstown) but too quickly switched into party mode instead of working for a triple figure score. Julian’s bowling (20 wickets @ 19.4) was the find of the year as he progressed from part-time to opener. We were starting to find our feet and chalked up a very solid team win over Wests at Punchbowl despite them producing a fast bowler later found in Wests 2nd Grade side.

At the season half-way mark we started to appreciate that our ‘keeper was a long way better than the oppositions keepers. We had an advantage. His opening batting partner had hardly spoken but was starting to monster opening bowlers with his powerful driving. Our spin twins Cam Fowler and Giordano Scuglia had rejoined us from spells in 5ths and suddenly we had a dangerous attack. It all came together when we played 3rd placed Penrith at Kensington and beat them outright, losing only 5 wickets in the process. There’s nothing like that winning feeling and we started to climb the ladder.

We produced dominating wins over UNSW, Blacktown and Wests and finished 7th on the ladder. Joe White got hungry and determined opening the batting and produced 79 v UNSW and 54 v Blacktown. He finished the season with 374 runs @ 41.56. His ‘keeping was faultless. His attitude is great and we will watch for his name in some serious cricket in UK – try county seconds Joe. Joe put on a big partnership at Whalan No. 2 with Barton Lynch (132). It was a very hot day on a very big field and both Joe and Bart had to dig deep to keep going when it would have been tempting to give it away instead of pushing through the pain barrier. Bart’s innings was the dig of the year and it took plenty of guts to do it. Joe Harrison (191 @ 19.1) was the big improver with the bat including a great 53 against the premiers.

Our last game v Wests was memorable as we went in without Joe and Bart, Cam and Giordano. Tom McCarthy turned in a “Botham” as he took 6-34 off his 10 overs and then piloted us with 78 to chase down 222. He was aided by an unknown 14 year old Jaya Murdita who debuted with 45 not out to bring it home.

45 Our bowlers Julian Foster-Pullman, Andrew Sprowls 16 @ 17.3, Cam Fowler 16 @ 13.4, Tom McCarthy 10 @ 9.7 and Giordano Scuglia 9 @ 16.2 had good seasons and were never bothered by any batting line-up except that super strong Gordon team. Andrew Sprowls tries so hard he looks like he could explode. Some of his spells were devastating and he was rewarded with a hat-trick against Penrith. We finished with a quotient of 1.06 which was 4th best in the competition.

We are very proud of the new players we unearth in our young Metro team and this year we had a fistful. 16 years old ‘keeper-batsman Damian Sidney had his first season and produced a couple of “Dave Warner” special digs when he flayed the bowling to all parts with a preference for cow corner. We found new talent in Xavier (13) the younger Foster-Pullman, Ravin (13) the younger De Silva, Henry Thornton (14) and Jaya Murdita (14). Next year those boys can mix a bit of Metro with their junior cricket as they get ready for grade cricket.

Now being entitled to be called club stalwarts, Charith De Silva and Jeremy Jastzab continued their improvement showing all of us the value of hard work at practice and a true love of the game. If the Taliban challenged us to a game of cricket, these two will be first to volunteer.

We were privileged to play on good quality wickets all year, both home and away. We had a great bunch of parents supporting especially those “dads on day release”. Serial offenders were Simon Pullman, Pasquale Scuglia, Mike Sprowls, Danny McCarthy, John Crawford and Richard Sidney. A big thank you to Lyn Thomas (mother of Joe Harrison) who produced an endless supply of food and even brought the family tent to one game.

RPCC GOLD by Anthony McGinness

It’s hard to put a positive spin on a season which resulted in only two wins and the wooden spoon, but here goes nothing! The highlight of season was notching up one of our victories against the Metro Green squad in Round 3. The rules of cricket were relaxed at times but in the end our imposing total of 125 proved to be too much. Unfortunately it was mostly downhill from there.

46 Our other win came against Western Suburbs who we beat in the Grand Final only two seasons ago. We managed to chase down 166 through a typical batting effort. Our top 8 all reached double figures with the highest score only 33. This was pretty characteristics of our season as individuals all too often made starts without going on or building effective partnerships.

In the batting stakes, Steve Stammers was our leading run scorer with 184 runs at an average of 18.4 and a high score of 63. Steve was a rookie English import and added some much needed technique to our middle order. We hope he is able to return next season. Chris Barket recorded the highest score of the season with a well-made 79. Others to crack 100 runs this season included Mitch Hunt, George Frazakis, Paul McConnell, Chris Barket and Anthony McGinness. We performed well below our potential and I truly believe our batting lineup matched most teams for talent. To compete next season we need to work on valuing our wicket and developing partnerships.

Bowling duties were well and truly shared throughout the team. It is a stark contrast to our premiership year 2 seasons ago where the now retired Crazy Kiwi took 50+ wickets. The leading wicket takers this year were Anthony McGinness and George Frazakis (who also shared the wicket keeping duties) with 8 wickets apiece. George took his 8 wickets at an average of 15.25 with his crafty and deserved more, while Anthony averaged 25.13 with his steady medium pacers. John Stewart was next with 7 wickets and Paul McConnell with 6. Six others chipped in with 5 wickets, showing the way we are able to fight and create wickets without a strike bowler.

My mother told me that if I don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say it at all, so I won’t talk about our fielding. We didn’t enjoy the results we wanted (or probably deserved at times), but we certainly enjoyed our cricket. And that is the Metro way. We didn’t have a regular line-up, last minute phone calls were the order of the year, but that is also the Metro way. Regardless, we enjoyed our cricket due largely to the great bunch of guys that stepped onto the field each and every week.

Thanks to our regulars – Steve, Luke, Mohan, Paul, John, George, Mitch, Denesh, Chris, and Phil for your efforts throughout the year. A special mention to John Stewart who captained a number of games throughout the year and assisted greatly with the management of the team. Let’s hope we can learn from this year and return next year as a better team. METROPOLITAN CUP - BATTING Batsmen M Inn N.O.

48 Poidevin Gray Shield (under 21 years) by Bill Anderson Position in Competition: 5th 4 wins; 2 losses; 1 draw

Poidevin Gray is a unique competition given that it provides the opportunity for players from 1st to 5th Grade to compete head-to-head against one another, irrespective of what grade they play. This means that players from 1st and 2nd Grade need to make adjustments to play with and against less experienced players while lower graders have to take up the challenge of competing against others of similar age but with much more grade experience.

Following a couple of seasons where younger players had to develop and build their game to play at this level, this year’s PG’s team finished a creditable 5th. With first graders Adam Coyte and Alex Graham leading the way, the side recorded 4 wins, 2 losses and a draw in the preliminary rounds.

Nick Stapleton once again showed a lot of potential at the top of the order and he was well supported with the bat by Alex Graham, skipper Adam Coyte, Mitch Wright and Brandon McLean. The bowling was led by Alex Graham with 16 wickets which was equal top of the competition and culminated in him being selected in the City under-21 team. In the Qualifying Final, we were narrowly beaten by an extremely strong Penrith outfit, so things look promising for next year with all players available again to have another crack at the title.

Summary of Matches

Round 1 v Uni of NSW @ Coogee Oval Match Drawn Washed Out All games in the competition were washed out.

Round 2 TWENTY20 v Gordon @ Coogee Won by 1 run RP 9-126 to 6-125 We were off to a good start with skipper Adam Coyte (36) and Nick Stapleton (29) putting on 57 for the first wicket. At 1 for 80 we were heading for a big score but five run outs and a stumping quickly brought us undone and at the end of the 20 overs we finished 9 down for 126. An early run out (the first of three for Gordon) left them 1 for 8 but the next wicket didn’t fall until 103 when some tight bowling aided by some excellent fielding quickly brought 5 wickets for 20 runs leaving them 9 to get with one over left. In the helter skelter of the final over Gordon managed only 8 leaving them one run in arrears.

Round 3 TWENTY20 v Hawkesbury @ Coogee Lost by 79 runs RP 68 to 6-147 Batting first the Hawks top 7 batsmen all got into double figures at a healthy run rate leaving us with a target of 148 at the end of their 20 overs. In reply we were never really in the hunt losing our first wicket at 11 and our 9th at 68 after only 12.3 overs. Alex Tomkins couldn’t bat following a finger dislocation while bowling which meant it was 9 out all out in a disappointing display. It was our first loss to Hawkesbury in PG’s having won all 3 previous encounters.

Round 4 v Easts @ Waverley Lost by 123 runs RP 144 to 7-267 Up against the competition front runners was always going to be a problem and so it proved to be. Easts were quickly into their stride with the bat putting on an opening partnership of 158 with none of our bowlers able to curtail the hitting. Alex Graham (4-43) made a real difference when introduced into the attack but by then the bird had flown. We were in trouble from the outset in reply and at 5 for 61 the game was all but over. Nick Stapleton played well for 62 out of the first 118 but no-one else made more than 15.

Round 5 v Sydney @ Coogee Won by 5 wkts RP 5-116 to 115 When Sydney’s star overseas recruit was knocked over for 6 by Gabe Budwee it was cheers all round. That jubilation quickly turned around as the score climbed to 2 for 80. But then our bowlers got serious and rolled the rest for just 35 to leave them floundering with 115 on a good Coogee Oval strip. Alex Graham (3-3) and Nick Saady (3-24) did best while Josh James grabbed 2-10. At 5 for 56 their poor score was looking pretty good before Alex Graham (54 not out off 68 with 3 sixes) showed his class with a brutal innings seeing the total passed in the 37th over for the loss of 5 wickets. A great win.

49 Round 6 TWENTY20 v North Sydney @ N Sydney Won by 26 runs RP 7-143 to 117 Sent into bat we were quickly on top with Addison Grinham (26) and Alex Graham (34 off 22 with 2 sixes) piling on the runs. When Mitchell Wright chimed in with 25 off 23 we had registered our best PG T20 score. Norths struggled from the outset in the run chase against a spirited attack which saw all 9 wickets fall to catches while 5 bowlers shared the wickets. Alex Graham completed a fine double with 2-18 off 4.

Round 7 v Mosman @ Allan Border Won by 3 wkts RP 7-171 to 168 The Whales had not won a game all season but called correctly at the toss and batted first. At 0-48 they were looking good before a steady stream of wickets saw a slump to 6 for 168 but still with a great opportunity to give us a target of more than 200. When Mitchell Wright (2-15) grabbed a second wicket, Nick Charlwood (3-25) hopped in and took the last 3 wickets without conceding a run to have them all out for 168. It was a nervous run chase and at 5 for 58 and then 7 for 105, Mosman looked certain to end our season. However wicketkeeper Alex Wynn (24 not out) and fast bowler Mitchell Wright (36 not out with 4 boundaries and a six in 39 minutes) got together in a club record unbeaten 8th wicket partnership of 66 to snatch victory and a place in the Qualifying Finals! A great win by a team displaying important fighting qualities.

Qualifying Final v Penrith @ Cook Park Lost by 39 runs RP 167 to 9-206 Sending in the Panthers after overnight rain didn’t bring the early wickets expected but spirits were lifted when 2 fell on 80. Alex Graham (3-33) and skipper Adam Coyte (1-29) combined to reduce the score to 5-139 but some resistance by the lower order was overcome when Gabe Budwee (4-35) was introduced into the attack. Not a huge total to chase but with Redman (0), Stapleton (3) and Maguire (0) back in the pavilion with just 10 runs on the board we had it all to do. A fighting partnership of 56 was ended when Graham (13) and Coyte (49) went within one run of each other. Brandon McLean continued the good work as wickets tumbled around him and when the last fell he remained undefeated on 45 although the cause had been lost. A disappointing outcome to dash our high hopes but a good season nevertheless.

With 4 players backing up from last year’s competition this season’s squad was made up predominantly of players who will be able to play again next summer and a couple who will play for another 2 or 3. This puts us in good stead for the coming years.

Our 15 Player Squad was again assembled during the school holidays for our Academy Week expertly run by first graders Eddie Otto and John McLoughlin. The week involved on and off field activities, sessions in the SCG nets and also a hit‐out against a touring Under 17’s Armidale side. All in all the Academy gave the squad the chance to get to know each other before the competition started and I’m sure they learnt many tips and skills from the experienced first graders. Many thanks to Eddie and John for investing their valuable time in the youngsters and to Bill Andersonr fo making sure the Academy happened.

So now all primed, ready to go and already feeling like part of the Randy Pete’s Family, the squad trained with super coaches David Skuthorpe (Skewey) and Jason McLean who were keen to take the lads a step further than the 3rd place finish the season before.

Hopes were high and after our first three fixtures before Christmas we were off to a flyer winning 3 from 3, as good a start as any Green Shield Team in our 10 year merged history. The boys were showing their gritty determination, skills and depth as all were tough battles and it was evident there is no such thing as an easy win at this level. As we all know cricket is a funny old game and some times you need luck to be on your side and it certainly wasn’t when we lost the toss on a dodgy underdone Gordon wicket at Killara. The lads were up against it from the start and with the ball popping up all over the place having to face the most difficult of conditions we were dismissed for just 57. Although we lost this match, it was one of the highlights of our seasone seeing th boys really pull together to nearly achieve the impossible. They showed unbelievable team spirit and a never‐say‐die attitude resulting in Gordon only just getting home (at one stage we had them 6‐27!!).

Back Row: Jason McLean (Coach), Henry Thornton, Ethan Grinham, Ashley Burton, Tom McCarthy (Vice Captain), Hayden McLean (Captain), Nathan Ellis, Riley Orr, David Skuthorpe (Coach), Danny McCarthy (Manager) Front Row: Jay Rowles, Nathan Stares, John Halias, Ravin da Silva, Johnathon Liapis, Guy Rowles, Curtis Cheney Insert: Ryan Faulkner‐Hogg

52 All season the boys were very much together with a great team spirit instilled by the coaches. Being in the change rooms I was witness to Skewey and Jason’s inspiring team talks and what was impressive was the calm and respectful way in which they spoke to the lads. Congratulations to our Captain Hayden McLean. On the pitch Hayden led from the front and showed great skill in his handling of the bowlers and field placements. The feeling of camaraderie was there for all to see.

We finished with 4 wins and 3 losses from the 7 matches. The competition stats show great contributions from all lads during the season, but a special well‐done to Ethan Grinham whose consistent batting form meant selection in the Combined Green Shield Squad. Congratulations Ethan.

Our parents were a great bunch and really supported the players and coaches. Thanks to our willing and very able scoring team. The shifts ran very smoothly. A special note……our afternoon teas were some of the best ever as judged by the comments of our opponents. Many thanks to all the Mums and Dads and especially Anyes McLean for making it all happen.

As always it was great to see the senior players and officials coming down to support the lads at the games and for attending the Presentation Dinner. Special thanks to Burt Cockley for handing out the caps to the boys.

Summary of Matches Round 1 v Sydney @ Ryde Sun 19 Dec 2010 Won by 6 wkts RP 4‐130 to 129 Batting first Sydney was quickly on the back foot at 3 for 8 and never really recovered. Hayden McLean (4 for 24 from 12 overs) bowled particularly well and was supported by the rest of the bowling unit with Nathan Ellis and Riley Orr each returning figures of 2 for 16 to help dismiss Sydney for 129 after 40 overs. Losing 3 wickets in reply with the score on 21 left us 4 down and doing it tough until an unfinished record 109 partnership between Tom McCarthy (36 not out) and Ethan Grinham (51 not out) saw us pass the target fore th loss of 4 wickets after 30 overs. A great start to the competition!

Round 2 v Uni of NSW @ Village Green Tues 21 Dec 2010 Won by 1 wkt RP 9‐217 to 7‐216 At 4‐45 we were well in command after sending Uni in to bat. An 85 run partnership for the 5th wicket wasn’t on the agenda however, nor was the 58 put on for the 6th wicket. At 7‐216 after 60 overs our boys had it all to do. Withd us 2‐5 an 3‐38 in reply Uni had a heads‐up but the consistency of Tom McCarthy (31) aided by Hayden McLean (28) put us back in the running despite being still on the back foot at 5‐111. First match hero Ethan Grinham batting 6 joined the party and with John Halias got the score to 7‐198 before both were back in the pavilion for 48 and 43. Edging closer every ball the run out of Riley Orr with the score 8‐208 and one over to go left it to Nathan Ellis (1) and Nathan Stares) (5 who slogged a great boundary, to get us across the line! It was a great double for young Ellis who took 3‐28 to be the leading bowler.

Round 3 v Easts @ Coogee Thurs 23 Dec 2010 Won by 1 wkt RP 9‐162 to 161 It was almost de‐ja‐vu with the last man at the crease and 2 runs to get! But get them they did for the side to register 3 from 3. Earlier Easts had won the toss and looked set at 2‐79 before Tom McCarthy (3‐20) struck twice with yJa Rowles chipping in with another and the Dolphins had slumped to 5‐90. Nathan Ellis (4‐35) kept up the good work and despite a 26 run partnership for the 10th wicket the target of 161 looked very gettable. The Easts bowlers quickly put the skids under our early batsmen and at 4‐44 we were looking anything but good things. In form Ethan Grinham (26) and Hayden McLean (30) steadied the ship however, before John Halias launched into the bowling. When he went for 48 with the score 9‐160 leaving 2 to win it was left to bowlers Ellis and Ryan Faulkner‐Hogg to get us across the line in a cliffhanger!

Round 4 v Gordon @ Killara Tues 4 Jan 2011 Lost by 3 wkts RP 57 to 7‐59 Losing the toss and being sent in to bat on a pitch affected by a storm the night before was not what the doctor ordered. And so it proved to be with the team being bowled out for our second lowest ever score of 57 despite being 1 for 23. The last 9 wickets scored just 34 with Riley Orr (10) batting 10 the only one to make double figures. In the run chase the Stags didn’t have it all their own way and with Hayden McLean bowling like a champion to take 5 quick wickets, they were struggling at 6 for 27. One more wicket with the score on 47 was our last hurrah as they snuck past our score in 23 overs. McLean finished with 5 for 16 to be 4th on the competition wicket takers list. A disappointing result in difficult conditions.

Round 5 v Hawkesbury @ Coogee Thurs 6 Jan 2011 Lost by 18 runs RP 224 to 242 Sending the Hawks into bat on a good track didn’t produce the results expected with their second wicket falling with 131 on the board. While wickets fell steadily the final score was the highest against us this season. Jay Rowles (3‐34) and Tom McCarthy (2‐ 20) ended with the best bowling figures while Hayden McLean was as consistent as ever with 2 for 26 off 12 overs. The RPC chase started solidly but the loss of 2 wickets on 25 saw the team under pressure. The middle order rallied, with Ethan Grinham (56) and Curtis Cheney (50) giving the team a chance, however it wasn't to be as the run rate increased and wickets started to fall on a regular basis. A spirited chase ended at 224 after 59.3 overs.

53

Round 6 v North Sydney @ Coogee Tues 11 Jan 2011 Lost by 2 wkts RP 105 to 8‐106 Sent in to bat we were expected to struggle after overnight rain and at 3 for 30 those fears were well founded. A rally got us to 63 but when Hayden McLean (15) went and Ethan Grinham (58) followed soon after, the rest folded quickly. In fact our last 7 wickets fell for just 42 runs. Four run outs didn’t help. Norths had a similar struggle and at 6 for 63 we were right in it. At 7 for 92 there was still hope but even though the 8th wicket fell one run short we just didn’t have enough runs on the board and Norths limped across the line to dash completely our finals hopes for 2010‐11.

Round 7 v Mosman @ Allan Border Thurs 13 Jan 2011 Won by 64 runs RP 201 to 137 Playing for pride only we were away to a poor start after winning the toss and batting. At one stage we were 6 for 83 but a 41 run partnership for the 6th wicket and 54 for the 7th with opener Nathan Ellis still there gave the boys plenty of hope.e As th tail held up their end Ellis attacked and when he was bowled for a fantastic 97, the highest score for the season, we had managed a very competitive total. Mosman began the chase well with 62 for the first wicket and at 2 for 91 were on track. However, two wickets to John Halias (2‐8), two to Nathan Stares (2‐32), a couple of run outs and four to Riley Orr (4‐8) quickly put the issue beyond doubt and the match was ours. A great season tempered by the disappointment of finishing just one win from a finals berth.

55 The Award Winners 2010-11

PLAYER OF THE SEASON The O A Taylor / Martin Bedkober Memorial Award Sponsored by Paul Fitzgerald of Hampstead Homes

Ossie Taylor served the Randwick club as a player and administrator for 64 years before his death in 1976. He scored more than 4,500 runs and was Secretary for 19 years, the longest in the club’s history. The O A Taylor Memorial Player of the Season Award was first presented by the Randwick club in 1977. Martin Bedkober was a promising opening batsman and wicketkeeper with Petersham-Marrickville before his untimely death in a cricket match in 1975 aged just 21. In A W Green Shield in 1968-69, he scored 645 runs and effected 23 dismissals behind the stumps—both records for the club. The Martin Bedkober Memorial Trophy for the Most Promising Player was first presented by the Petersham Marrickville club in 1976.

Nathan Price

NSW 2nd X1 representative Nathan Price is the complete cricketer. Scoring 573 runs at 40.93 and taking 23 wickets at 28.17 in 1st Grade this season is a strong indication of Nathan’s special qualities. He could hold his place as a new ball bowler or batsman in any 1st Grade team. On top of his ability with the bat and ball, he is also a brilliant fielder in any position as evidenced by the fact he won the club’s Fielding Award last season, his first with the club. Nathan is able to adapt to batting in any position in the order and on more than one occasion he has demonstrated his flexibility to attack when required or play in a more conservative manner depending on the circumstances. This season he batted as high as no.1 to as low as no.6 in the order hitting 5 half-centuries with 73 against Northern District his highest score. His 4 - 51 off 18 overs against Sutherland was his best. Having already come under the eye of the State selectors it is anticipated that Nathan will be strongly considered for NSW selection in the next few seasons. He is a diligent and dedicated trainer with a mature approach to his cricket. Nathan totalled 819 points in this season’s Player of the Season Award, some 131 more than second-placed Jordan Magro. His consistency shows his value to his team and makes him a most worthy winner of this coveted award.

CLUBMAN OF THE YEAR - PLAYER The Tim Towers / Stuart Gardner Memorial Award Sponsored by Kingsgrove Sports

Tim Towers was a left hand fast bowler with Randwick. He died in 1991 from cancer aged just 36. Tim played for 11 seasons taking 233 wickets and played in Randwick’s 1977-78 and 1979-80 1st Grade premiership teams. The Tim Towers Clubman of the Year Award was first presented by the Randwick club in 1991. Stuart Gardner was a left hand spin bowler with Petersham-Marrickville. He died in 1994 from cancer aged 51. Stuart played for over 30 seasons taking more than 400 wickets and scoring 2000 runs. He played in the 1st Grade premiership team of 1974-75 and was made a life member of the club in 1991. The Stuart Gardner Clubman of the Year Award was first presented by the Petersham-Marrickville club in 1994.

Joint Award -- John Stewart and Denis Hinds This season the Management Committee has been unable to separate the value of two outstanding members and it is fitting that a joint award has been made in their favour.

John Stewart: John took on the change of life this year converting himself from opening bowler to off spinner. He knew he had to work on his new trade, so he practiced and practiced and practiced. As the season progressed he developed a consistent line and length, the hallmarks of a successful bowler. With his height along with his positive attitude, John has the potential to work his way up the grades substantially. Right arm offies have the hardest job in Australia but John is the right man for the job. Apart from his playing prowess, John took on the setting-up and on- going administration of the renovated club museum at Coogee Oval and did an outstanding job. He has a great interest in the history of this club which shows through in the way he has painstakingly labelled the various memorabilia items on display. He is a real asset to the club.

Denis Hinds: Quite often the question is posed as to whether there is life after cricket. In Denis’ case that issue doesn’t apply as with him, there is simply no “after cricket”! He has just completed the 39th season since he first twirled his mystery left-hand spinners for the former Sydney club way back in 1972. The word “retirement” is clearly not in his vocabulary. And while he has an imposing Grade Cricket record with more than 900 wickets, these days he is more excited about his role in the development of the many young cricketers in his charge in the Metropolitan Cup competition. Made a life member of the club in 2006, Denis has a renewed enthusiasm for the game as he guides these young players through to their entry into the grade ranks. It’s a strange thing to say about a man who has been playing cricket for so long but his value to the club and to the game has never been more important than it is at the present time.

56 CLUBMAN OF THE YEAR – NON PLAYER The Bernie Bayley Memorial Award Sponsored by Margaret Bayley Bernie Bayley was a popular and enthusiastic volunteer who was manager of the Second Grade team for 5 years prior to his death in February 2009. Bernie’s wife Margaret sponsors this award on behalf of the Bayley Family.

Chris Sullivan We continually push the fact that volunteers are the lifeblood of our club and never was such statement more appropriate than as it relates to the contribution by Chris “Fous” Sullivan. A more dedicated worker would not be found in any club. Chris may well be regarded as the ultimate volunteer. It seems like he has been around for yonks and has a hand in just about every event staged by the club. And that is pretty well the case! When the merger came about in 2001 Chris was in the thick of it all. A former 1st Grade player, he was at that time Assistant Secretary and a Life Member of the Petersham-Marrickville club as well as a delegate to the Sydney Cricket Association. He was heavily involved in the decision to merge with Randwick and accordingly became a member of the new club’s first management committee. With his keen “social” background having been a major force in the organisation of the Petersham-Marrickville Centenary Dinner in 2000, he was an obvious choice to be Randwick Petersham’s first social director. And in that role he has been simply outstanding. In our 10 years we have had a full and variable social calendar under Chris’ direction. He has been responsible for many successful fund-raisers while providing an after- play environment which has maintained harmony and created many friendships throughout the club. He has also been heavily involved in the running of our canteens while contributing to the production of the club’s annual report. This will be a popular award as there is no-one more deserving.

MOST PROMISING PLAYER IN THE CLUB The Keith Austin Memorial Award Sponsored by Alan Austin Keith Austin was a long-time supporter of the Randwick club before his death in 1948. This award was first presented by his sons, Alan and Stan in 1949.

Adam Coyte When you are just 19 years of age and record a performance greater than any other in the history of Sydney Grade Cricket you are entitled to be regarded as the most promising player in the club. Adam joined us from Campbelltown-Camden this season following in the footsteps of brother Scott who arrived the previous season. He was a proven performer having played in both New South Wales’ under 17 and 19 years teams. He also played in the Australian under 19 year’s team in 2009 against India. An attacking left-hand batsman and right-hand pace bowler, Adam had a quiet start to the season scoring just 149 runs in his first eight innings in 1st Grade with a top score of 41. It wasn’t until a Twenty20 match against Hawkesbury that he showed a glimpse of form hitting a fine 51 following up with 94 against Northern District next match. A second half-century against Sydney in the Limited Overs Qualifying Final hardly readied anyone for what was about to happen. In round 12 at Coogee against St George, Adam came in at the fall of the fourth wicket with just 46 on the board. When the fifth wicket fell the score had climbed to 278 with Adam and Adam Semple (101) putting on a record partnership of 232. A declaration was made at the fall of the ninth wicket with the score 427 leaving Adam undefeated on 232. Not only was his score a new record for the club but Adam had become the youngest player to score a double century in the 117 years history of the Sydney Grade Cricket competition. And while he didn’t quite reproduce that form through the remainder of the season he concluded the summer with an aggregate of 865 runs including 106 in Poidevin-Gray to finish in the top 10 batsmen in Sydney. Adam Coyte’s future will be followed with great interest.

57

MOST PROMISING METROPOLITAN CUP (6th Grade) PLAYER The Alan Wright Award Sponsored by Alan Wright Alan Wright played Grade Cricket for over 40 years with Randwick / Randwick Petersham. He is a Life Member of the club, a member of the Management Committee and Chairman of Selectors.

Joe White Joe White is a young English cricketer who played in the RPC Green team. He displayed all of the attributes that this award is aimed at. Performance: he was the leading run scorer in the Metro comp with 373 runs at 41.4, which is very impressive when the two top teams Gordon and Bankstown got huge scores every week. Some of his digs required some long defensive sections. His innings got better as the season progressed. He is a top class keeper. He was just about faultless and he did not shirk standing up for the mediums. Attitude: on the field he was always keen and first to volunteer. His practice attendance was excellent.

MOST IMPROVED LOWER GRADE PLAYER The Burke and Davies Families Award Sponsored by Chris Burke and Ross Davies Kevin Burke was a senior vice president of Randwick who first presented this award in 1976. Kevin died in 1998. Chris Burke is a nephew of Kevin and a former long-term lower grade player with Randwick Haydn Davies, father of Life Member Ross, was a vice president and great supporter of Randwick who died in 1984. His memorial award was first presented in 1992. Ross’ brother Peter, was the captain of Randwick’s first 5th Grade team in 1978 which made the semi-finals. He died in May 2002. Jordan Magro The ‘Comeback Kid’ was one of the real success stories of 2010-11. After some indifferent seasons by his standards Jordan bounced back to his best this year and was rewarded with 11 games in 1st Grade. Jordan got it all together with his bowling and made significant contributions in the top two grades with his accurate seamers as well as some handy knocks in the middle order. In 1st Grade he took 10 wickets while he was the spearhead of the attack in 2nd Grade finishing the season with 32 wickets at just 13.69 runs apiece including a magnificent 9 for 68 against Mosman, the best-ever bowling performance in 2nd Grade in our 10 years. His overall season brought him 42 wickets at 17.33 with an economy rate of only 3.2 runs per over. Jordan has also improved his batting over the past couple of seasons to the extent that he is fast becoming a genuine all-rounder. He scored 177 runs this season including an excellent 33 batting at no.9 against St George in 1st Grade. Jordan’s successful season saw him enter the club’s record books in just 5 seasons achieving the highly sought after 1,000 runs / 100 wickets double. He now has 1,039 runs and 107 wickets. Jordan was also runner-up in the Player of the Season Award this year just as he was last year.

BEST POIDEVIN GRAY PLAYER The Clive Johnston Memorial Award Sponsored by John & Corey Pearson Clive Johnston was an outstanding player with the Petersham and Petersham-Marrickville clubs, captaining 1st Grade for 17 of his 21 seasons. He was in three premiership winning teams and scored over 10,500 grade cricket runs. He also played for NSW on 11 occasions including a number as captain. Clive died in 1991 and this award was presented for the first time by Petersham - Marrickville that same year. Alex Graham In a team which made the Qualifying Finals for the first time, Alex Graham was one of its better players. The off- spinning all-rounder scored 123 runs at an average of 20.50 and took 16 wickets at just 11.56 apiece to be the team’s leading bowler in the 7 rounds. Against Easts he took 4-43; against Sydney he finished with 3-3 and in the Qualifying Final against Penrith he took 3-33. He was quite dynamic with the bat in a couple of matches hitting 54 against Sydney off 68 balls including 3 towering sixes. He was also very attacking against North Sydney when he scored 34 off just 22 balls with 2 sixes. Add to the 3 catches he took with his overall outstanding fielding and we have a player who in his first season with the club is very much entitled to be named the Poidevin-Gray Player of the season.

BEST A W GREEN SHIELD PLAYER The Cartwright Insurances Award Sponsored by Len Cartwright Cartwright Insurances has presented this award since 1975 courtesy of Len Cartwright, who was a 1st Grade wicketkeeper / batsman with Randwick and is now a vice president of Randwick Petersham.

Ethan Grinham Ethan Grinham was clearly our most consistent batsman this season scoring 233 runs at the healthy average of 38.83. Batting in the middle-order he hit 56 against Hawkesbury; 51 against Sydney and 48 against University of NSW. His 51 against Sydney was scored in the course of a new club record partnership of 109 with Tom McCarthy which enabled his side to start the season well with a good win. It was also Ethan’s patient 48 off 80 balls which gave the team 2 out of 2 winning by one wicket with just 3 balls remaining against University of NSW at Village Green. His scores of 26, 28 and 21 in other matches with just one score of less than double figures emphasised his consistency throughout the competition. His performances were not lost on the representative selectors as well and it was no surprise to see his name included in the annual Green Shield Merit Second XI. Ethan is a most promising cricketer and has an exciting future in the game. 58

BEST A W GREEN SHIELD PERFORMANCE The Col Hollingsworth Memorial Award Sponsored by John Benaud Col Hollingsworth was a gifted young cricketer who died tragically at the age of 23 in 1966. He played for four years in the Petersham-Marrickville A W Green Shield team before going on to captain NSW Colts. He was a first grader at age 16. The Col Hollingsworth Memorial Award was first presented by the Petersham-Marrickville club in 1967.

Hayden McLean As opening bowler in this season’s A W Green Shield competition Hayden secured a “bowler’s century” when he took 5 for 16 from 6 overs against Gordon at Killara. It was a spirited performance which reduced Gordon to 6 for 27 chasing our paltry 57 scored on a difficult pitch following overnight rain. And while the Stags surpassed the target 7 down it was Hayden’s bowling which gave his side a real “sniff” of an unexpected victory. He started the season well with a 4-24 effort from 12 overs against Sydney to secure a solid win. By season’s end he had taken 12 wickets in the 7 round-competition at the impressive average of 13.83 to match his performance last season of 11 at 10.18. Hayden is no slouch with the bat either scoring 113 at 18.83 with a top score of 30. Interestingly, he opened the batting on more than one occasion while on others scored runs batting at number 9. Hayden was the captain of this season’s well-performed team and impressed many good judges with his field placings and bowling changes.

THE KEN DEVLIN AWARDS Ken Devlin is a vice president of Randwick Petersham and father of Steve and Peter, all of whom have been involved with the club as they were with Randwick for over 30 years. Ken first presented these awards at Randwick in 1983. Note : To ensure all players have an equal opportunity to compete for these awards, the calculation of most runs and wickets excludes the Grade final series of matches and Sunday games in the 1st Grade Limited Overs and Twenty 20 competitions.

MOST RUNS: Toby Finzel 567 runs Although he had only played two games in 3rd Grade prior to Christmas, English “import” Toby Finzel ended up the team’s highest scoring batsman with 392 runs including a top score of 75. He was also 11th in the SCA 3rd Grade batting stats. He made his way into 3rds after some impressive performances in 4th Grade where he scored 175 runs in 5 games. In that total was an innings of 95 not out against Parramatta which was pivotal to his teams win in the match. He came to the wicket with the score 5 for 13. From there he and Chris Singh put on a partnership of 137 runs in setting up a score of 215 which was enough to take the points. Toby remained 95 not out when the final wicket fell. Toby ended the season with a total of 567 runs at 43.62 in both grades which was enough to take out the award with Adam Coyte (547) and Damian Wall (539) hot on his hammer.

MOST WICKETS: Jordan Magro 37 wickets Pace bowler Jordan Magro had his best season since joining Randwick Petersham 5 summers ago. He has always showed plenty of promise as evidenced by his selection in the NSW under 19 team in 2005-06. But this season he came of age taking 42 wickets split between 2nd Grade (32) and 1st Grade (10). His 42 wickets were taken at the imposing average of 17.33 runs per wicket with an economy rate of just 3.20 from each of his 229 overs. In 1’s he took 2-14 against ND’s and 3-11 versus Campbelltown-Camden. In 2nds his accuracy was highlighted in the match against Penrith when he took 5 for 5 from 10 overs with 6 maidens. He followed up with 3-25 in the second dig off 11. On another occasion he took 4-54 off a mammoth 29 overs against Gordon. The highlight of his summer however, came in the second innings against Mosman in 2nd Grade at Allan Border Oval. After just 3 overs for 6 runs in the first innings bowling first change it was all Jordan Magro in the second. With the score 0-46 Jordan took his first wicket then proceeded to take another 5 before Nick Charlwood chipped in with a scalp leaving Jordan to clean up the remaining 3 and finish with the magnificent figures of 9 for 68 from 18.5 overs. Not only did he give his team an outright win but he established a new record as it was the best bowling performance ever recorded for the club in 2nd Grade and only the club’s second “9 for”. Of his 42 wickets, 37 qualified to win this award just ahead of Nigil Singh and James Tyson with 35 wickets.

THE WICKETKEEPING AWARD The David Sherwood Memorial Award Sponsored by John Watson of Watson Buchan, Surveyors David Sherwood was scorer of the Randwick 1st Grade team for 52 years. He made six overseas tours as scorer for the Australian team before his death in 1985. The SCA 5th Grade trophy bears his name.

Anthony Sams 1st Grade’s Anthony Sams was the leading wicketkeeper in the club this season with 43 dismissals (39 caught; 4 ) while allowing only 11 byes. That number of scalps in the top grade in any season is a mighty effort and Anthony achieved this like the very best keepers do, holding the ones he should while taking some absolute screamers as well on both sides of the wicket. He was energetic and encouraging to his bowlers and fielders alike. Coming to the club from Bankstown, Anthony fitted perfectly into his new environment, trained with purpose and intensity and was always generous with his time in sharing his knowledge and experience with younger players. While he lost a little form with the bat towards the end of the season he was a dominant player early on as his aggregate of 326 indicates. His 64 against Parramatta and 61 versus Sydney complemented his ‘keeping to confirm him as a genuine all-rounder. Anthony is arguably the best young ‘keeper / batsman in NSW and will no doubt be rewarded for his efforts with senior representative selection in the future.

59 THE FIELDING AWARD The Johnny Martin Memorial Award Sponsored by Talisman Marketing through former player Mark Sundin Johnny Martin was a left-hand ”chinaman” bowler who played 77 times for NSW and 8 times for Australia. He played with Petersham-Marrickville for 15 seasons travelling 780 kms each weekend from Burrell Creek. He took 450 grade wickets, scored 3500 runs and was a superb fieldsman. He captained the 1st Grade side and won three premierships. The Johnny Martin Memorial Award was first awarded by Petersham-Marrickville in 1993 following his death a year earlier.

Alex Graham Johnny Martin was an outstanding fielder blessed with a magnificent throwing arm, both powerful and accurate. Alex Graham is a fitting winner of this Award, given his athleticism in the field, safe hands and strong throw. To be a top fielder you have got to really enjoy it and Alex was always upbeat in the field regardless of the state of play, constantly enthusiastic and supportive of his teammates. He took 13 catches during the season including 9 in 1st Grade while effecting 2 run-outs. In his first season with the club Alex has created a huge impression with some outstanding performances in 1st and 2nd Grades while he was a real star in the Poidevin-Gray team.

THE BILL ANDERSON COMMITMENT AWARD Bill Anderson is the club’s Director of Cricket Operations, a Life Member and was one of Sydney’s leading batsmen as a member of the Petersham-Marrickville 1st Grade team during the 1970’s.

Damian Wall Damian is an extremely gifted cricketer who has a driving ambition to make the most of his talents. He scored 804 1st Grade runs at 33.50 with 137 against Western Suburbs from 157 balls his best closely followed by 96 off 106 balls against the Penrith attack when we were doing it tough at 5 for 101. He also had scores of 60 v Easts; 54 v Sutherland; 56 v Sydney; 77 v Sydney University and a fantastic 67 against Uni in the Grand Final when he looked likely to carry us through to victory. He is also an excellent slipper evidenced by his 12 catches while he kept wickets in 3 matches holding on to another 11 nicks. Damian is competitive in his approach to the game and is committed to achieving his goals. He worked extremely hard with the coaching staff to develop his batting and was rewarded for his efforts with selection in the NSW Futures Cup team. Damian has the determination, work ethic and talent to progress to the next level.

THE ENCOURAGEMENT AWARDS

THE PHIL TRESIDDER FAMILY AWARD Phil Tresidder was a Life Member and Patron of the club who died in 2003. Phil was involved with the Randwick club for 60 years and served as President for 10 years. This award is sponsored by his niece Christine Hall and her husband Christopher. Nick Charlwood Four seasons ago Nick showed outstanding promise as a pace bowler when he took 20 wickets at just 8.30 in the A W Green Shield competition. Since then he has progressed well through the grades finishing up one of 2nd Grades’ top bowlers with 22 wickets at just 17.18. He also recorded his best Grade Cricket figures of 5-46 from 22 overs against Sydney University. Add to this his 13 3rd Grade wickets and his season’s return of 35 wickets was an outstanding performance. His 161 runs also took him past the 500 runs mark to label him a true all-rounder.

THE PETER ROLLS AWARD Peter Rolls is a Life Member of the club and a former 1st Grade player with Petersham-Marrickville. Kushaal Ram After establishing his batting opening the innings in Metro Cup last year Kushaal took to the middle order of 5th Grade like a duck to water. He topped the club aggregate for 5ths with 342 runs at 26.31 and deservedly went up to 4th Grade for one game. His foot speed is fantastic and he grew in stature to dominate some attacks. His speed and agility in the field inspires his mates and gives his captain an extra weapon.

THE DUNCAN SCOTT-GLASSOCK MEMORIAL AWARD Duncan Scott-Glassock was a former 1st Grade seam bowler with Randwick in the 1970’s who died in 2006 aged just 57. This award continues in his name through the generosity of his wife Penny and family. Nick Saady Last season’s leading A W Green Shield pace bowler Nick Saady continued his exciting progress this season with 20 wickets in 5th Grade at an average of 16.50. His best performance was 4 for 15 against Sydney University to secure a great win for his team. Another highlight was his 62 in a partnership of 101 with Sam Muir for the 7th wicket to miss a win against Sutherland by just 2 runs. Nick finished the season with an aggregate of 164 runs to emphasise his value as one of the club’s up-and-coming young all-rounders.

THE WAYNE MULHERIN AWARD Wayne Mulherin is a Life Member of the club and former President of Petersham-Marrickville who played Sheffield Shield cricket for NSW. Neale Crawford The quiet man from the Shire had a great first season for the club finishing 4th in the Metro comp batting averages with 308 runs at 20.53. He never missed a practice and worked hard. It was his learning rate that most impressed. Promoted to opener by default, he worked on his game to the point where he could smash some opening bowlers with his dominating front foot drives. He possesses a great pair of hands in the outfield. His practice style is an example for other players at training – lots of work, very little talk.

60 THE JOHN CONNELL AWARD John Connell has been a manager of many club teams including a number which have won premierships. Tom McCarthy Tom had a lot of cricket this year with Green Shield, Grade and Metro Cup giving him a lot of variety. At times he must have wondered what his task was. Batting in lower middle order for Metro, he was their lucky charm for winning matches. Several times he produced substantial innings to get his team home in the run chase. His last round performance of 6-34 off 10 and 78 runs was as big a contribution to a match as anyone could do. In all matches for the season he scored 359 runs and took 20 wickets for a very impressive double.

THE GREG HARTSHORNE AWARD Greg Hartshorne is a former CEO of the club, a Life Member and former 1st Grade Captain of Petersham-Marrickville who played in four successive Randwick Petersham premiership teams from 2002 to 2006. He also served as a NSW State Selector for 5 years.

Nick Stapleton Nick was simply outstanding this summer scoring 340 runs in just 7 games in 4th Grade at the impressive average of 56.67. He made his maiden Grade Cricket century when he scored an unconquered 100 against Manly at Graham Reserve. An opening batsman he followed up that innings with a spectacular 160 against St George at Harold Fraser Reserve which included 18 boundaries and 8 sixes! He also hit another 60 in 3rds and 140 in Poidevin Gray to give him a season total of 540 runs.

THE MIKE WHITNEY AWARD Mike Whitney is the President of the club, a Life Member and former Australian and NSW left hand fast bowler who played for Randwick from 1976 until 1994. Gabriel Budwee A young pace bowler of considerable talent Gabe Budwee again showed this season why he will be a force to be reckoned with in coming seasons. He’s one of those players who is always in the game whether in the field, with the ball or with the bat. He was a slow starter this season but his 4 for 6 off 10 overs in the final 4th Grade match against University of NSW was a fitting conclusion to a season where he took 20 wickets at just 18.65. His 33 batting 9 against Sydney University was also a true indicator of his batting ability.

THE ERNIE TOSHACK MEMORIAL AWARD Sponsored by Lyall Gardner Ernie Toshack, a member of ’s 1948 “Invincibles”, holds a special place in the history of Randwick Petersham Cricket because he is the only cricketer to have played with the three clubs behind Randwick Petersham – Petersham, Marrickville and Randwick. He died in May 2003 and the club committee introduced this award in July 2003.

2009-10 Winner: Bill Anderson Because of Ernie Toshack’s unequalled association with Randwick Petersham Cricket, the Management Committee of the club has honoured his memory with a special annual award. The award is announced and presented each year at the Annual General Meeting of the club to a person or persons who the Management Committee determines has or have made a significant contribution to the club, either directly or indirectly through the club or founding clubs over an extended period of time.

At the Annual General Meeting on 15 July 2010, Bill Anderson was announced as the winner of the eighth Ernie Toshack Memorial Award. It was no surprise to anyone that Bill won this award having regard to the outstanding contribution he made to Petersham-Marrickville and to Randwick Petersham since the merger 10 years ago. Bill joined Petersham-Marrickville as a 16 year old in 1964 making his grade cricket debut in the club’s 4th Grade team. In 1966 he made his 1st Grade debut but because of the strength of the team didn’t secure a regular spot until 1972-73. The side made the 1st Grade semi-final that season due to Bill’s consistency with the bat and two seasons later won the premiership with Bill hitting 567 runs to be regarded as one of the most feared batsmen in the grade competition. Due to outside pressures Bill gave cricket away in 1977 to carve out a career in the media and as a professional coach. By the mid-80’s he was back in cricket at the senior level taking on the role of Assistant Coach of the NSW Cricket squad. Always maintaining a close liaison with Petersham-Marrickville he was made a Life Member of the club in 2001. When the merger occurred Bill was quick to put up his hand and took on the challenging role of Director of Coaching of the new Randwick Petersham club. He remained in that role for eight seasons before becoming Director of Cricket Operations. In those roles he has been of immeasurable value to the club and players alike. As an advisor, mentor, supporter, counsellor and friend, players have benefited greatly from the knowhow and experience he has been able to impart. He has been present at just about every 1st Grade match the club has participated in as well as many lower grade games around finals time. He has an uncanny knack of quickly putting his finger on a problem or technical deficiency while his tactical knowledge of the game is second to none. Bill was named Randwick Petersham Clubman of the Year in 2008 for his outstanding contribution to the club and it is fitting that he once again be honoured with the club’s most prestigious award.

The 2010-11 winner of this award will be announced at the club’s AGM on 14 July 2011.

61 The First 10 Years

In the beginning...... The decision taken in 2001 by two of Sydney’s oldest and most famous grade cricket clubs to merge caused much consternation and surprise in cricket circles. It had generally been regarded that once the NSW Cricket Board dropped its proposal to axe four clubs as a means of reducing the number of 1st Grade clubs to 16, Randwick and Petersham-Marrickville, two of the threatened clubs which had brought the issue to a head by proposing to merge, would continue to operate in their individual right. And while that was an obvious outcome, the many benefits identified in those earlier discussions could not be ignored by each club. The combination of first class facilities, the mixture of experience and youth in the playing ranks, the large volunteer base of each club, the capability of the management team, the financial solidarity and the overall enthusiasm of all concerned were all fitting attributes for a successful merger. Throw in the blending of similar cultures and the resultant recipe for a fruitful amalgamation was difficult to reject. A memo of understanding contemplated that the existing club names and colours would be combined to produce the Randwick Petersham title with the green, gold and white colour scheme while the Randwick “Pegasus” logo encased in the Petersham-Marrickville shield would create the new club emblem. It was also proposed that Coogee and Petersham ovals would alternate as the 1st Grade ground while for the first two years Randwick would supply the first President and Secretary. It was also agreed that the 11 committee member positions would be split six to Randwick and five to Petersham-Marrickville. A joint meeting of members from both clubs was held on 19 July 2001 and the proposal to merge was adopted unanimously. Randwick Petersham Cricket Club Incorporated was born.

10 years on…… There can be no doubt that the decision to bring two of Sydney’s great cricket club together has been an outstanding success, a point acknowledged throughout the Grade Cricket scene. There has hardly been a season in its first 10 where Randwick Petersham has not featured in some aspect of the game. And while many will seek the club’s formula for success it is quite clear to those involved that it can be put down to one simple element—its people. The embracing of the new club from the start, the determination, hard work and clear focus of those many volunteers in all facets of the club’s administration and management left little room for failure. It has been a happy merger and one which brought new life and enthusiasm for Sydney Grade Cricket to many people. The old cliché that “cricket has been the winner” was never more evident as Randwick Petersham, this season’s Club Champion, celebrates its first 10 years.

This season we celebrate 10 years of Randwick Petersham Cricket. We also celebrate Michael Whitney’s 10 years as President. And no‐one could be more proud in the role than the man who has Randwick / Randwick Petersham cricket in his blood. His devotion and commitment reflects an acknowledgement of how bthe clu and the game itself shaped his destiny at a time in his life where it could well have taken a course which may have produced a far different outcome.

The Mike Whitney story began in 1976 when he failed to honour an invitation to try out with Randwick. The call between South Sydney football and the Maroubra surf divided his attention but the persistency of the Randwick secretary eventually paid off and the 17 year old left hand mop‐top was drafted into the 4th Grade team complete with hand‐me‐down whites and boots. Match figures of 9 for 26 after just a few games confirmed he was a rare talent.

A suspension for sneaking off mid‐summer to the Gold Coast with his footballing mates brought a change in attitude and by the end of the following season Mike had spearheaded his 4th Grade team to its first premiership in 20 years. Promoted to 2nds the next summer he again led the way to premiership glory while he celebrated his 1st Grade debut season in 1979‐80 with yet another premiership victory. Three premierships in three years! Michael Whitney was clearly a star on the rise.

And so it proved to be. NSW selectors had not overlooked Mike’s demolition of opposing batsmen and in 1980‐81 he shared the new ball with and at the ‘Gabba in the first of his 77 Sheffield Shield appearances for the Blues. This taste of first class cricket saw him trek off just a few months later to join Fleetwood in the Northern UK League eager to gain experience. He also managed a few matches with Gloucestershire in the County Championship before receiving a dramatic call to join the Australian Test team in Manchester following a number of injuries in the squad’s fast bowling ranks.

Within two days, the 21 year old left hand fast bowler and Qantas trainee mechanic with just seven first class appearances was wearing the baggy green of Australia in the Fifth Ashes Test against England at Old Trafford! And the fairy tale continued when the great English batsman David Gower became Mike’s first Test wicket. It was a long way from Coogee Oval and Maroubra Beach. It was centre stage in the world of cricket. And Ashes cricket at that!

Mike’s Test career in the years which followed was somewhat of a roller‐coaster with the call to represent his country coming only 12 times over a period of 11 seasons. Despite his irregular Test appearances his two best first class bowling performances were achieved in Test matches: 7‐89 against the might of the West Indies in in 1988‐89 and a magnificent 7‐27 as part of match figures of 11 for 95 against India in in 1991‐92.

In his 13 year first class career, “Whit” played 118 games and took 412 wickets including 39 in Tests. He took 5 wickets in an innings 19 times while his 251 Sheffield Shield wickets places him sixth on the list of the all‐time greatest wicket takers for NSW.

While the joys of Mike’s magnificent playing career were soured by a long list of injuries causing doctors to “write him off” on a number of occasions, his greatest disappointment was being momitted fro the 1989 Australian Ashes team to England. His 58 wickets that Australian season was the highest by any bowler and to many, his non‐selection remains one of the great cricket selection mysteries. Subsequent Test Match tours of and West Indies confirmed the error of his Ashes omission.

Despite the strains of a long and demanding first class career, Mike always found time to turn out for his beloved Randwick. In all grades he took 371 wickets over 17 seasons including 248 in 1st Grade. Club management responsibilities did not elude him and he was elected to the Randwick Management Committee in 1991. He was made a Life Member two years later which he regards as his proudest moment in cricket.

In 1992 the NSW Cricket Board granted Mike a Testimonial Year “to recognise the magnificent contribution to Australian and New South wales cricket by Michael Whitney, both on and off the field”. The highlight of the year was a Testimonial Dinner at the AJC Centre Randwick attended by more than 960 persons including all members of the Australian and West Indies teams who were playing a Test Match at the SCG. Such was the popularity of Mike, the function was the largest ever held at the venue.

The following season with yet another serious knee injury, Michael Whitney retired as a player. That did not mean he had retired from the game or the club. While a career in television beckoned and subsequently bloomed, Mike continued to provide assistance to the club at every opportunity.

In July 2001 in a bid to overcome the NSW Cricket Board’s plan to axe both Randwick and Petersham‐Marrickville from the 1st Grade competition, the two clubs got together in a friendly merger which saw the Board’s proposal dropped and the introduction of Randwick Petersham. It was a new era for both clubs and the many people associated with it. It was also a bold move and one which required careful management and strong leadership. In identifying the administration team for the new club there was no hesitation from each of the merging camps that Mike Whitney should be the first Randwick Petersham President.

It was a fitting choice as Mike Whitney has brought to the new club the same flair, courage and commitment which characterized his playing career. He gives nothing less than 100% to everything he does and at a time when the new club needed someone with those heady attributes he was the ideal man for the job. He gave a two year commitment at that time but the fact he remains in the role to this day as the club continues to prosper emphasises his value to the club and to the game.

As a TV presenter on Channel 7’s Sydney Weekend for the past 17 years, Mike Whitney remains one of the most successful and longest serving hosts on Sydney television. After 10 years at the helm of Randwick Petersham with two Club Championships and a host of grade premierships under his belt, he is well on the way to achieving the same level of success as our President.

71 Simon Katich

Cricket followers throughout Australia were in shock while commentators were calling for the immediate sacking of the national selectors when they announced on 7 June 2011 that Simon Katich had not been offered a Cricket Australia contract for the next 12 months. It came like a bolt out of the blue.o Wh would have thought the National Selection Panel would leave out their most successful and consistent batsman over the past 3 years at a time when the batting of the Test team was questionable? It defied logic. The argument put forward was that the panel had to plan for the future and in particular for the next Ashes series in 2 years’ time. What they clearly hadn’t planned was how to pick their best team to win the next Test match let alone those leading up to the tour of England in 2013!

Since Simon’s recall to Australia’s Test team in ,2008 he has been one of the most prolific run‐scorers in the world. Only England’s Alistair Cook (3,072 in 38 matches) has scored more Test runs than Katich (2,928 in 33 matches) in that time while the combination of Shane Watson and Simon has averaged 54 for the opening partnership in their 15 Tests. Only Bobby Simpson and Bill Lawry have bettered that result with an average opening partnership of 61. Clearly Simon’s axing was a discriminatory one based on his age of 35. It could not under any stretch of the imagination have been based on his performances. If results had counted he would have been one of the first picked not left out of the supposed 25 best cricketers in the country. The selectors’ decision is right up there with Mike Whitney’s non‐ selection on the 1989 Ashes Tour of England when he was the leading wicket‐taker in Australia with 58 wickets. The selectors had a bad Ashes series and this decision has done nothing to improve their form. Looking back to series against England in Australia this summer, the build‐up was huge. Expectations were high for many players to perform to the full extent of their ability if Australia was to win back the historic miniature urn. Simon Katich was one of the key players as he had developed into the “rock” upon which many successful Test Match innings had been built in the previous 3 seasons. He was clearly “Mr Reliable”. After scoring a well‐made 50 in the 1st Test in he ventured to Adelaide where he suffered his most serious cricket injury tearing an Achilles tendon which put him on the sidelines for the rest of the series and most of the 2010‐11 first‐class season. It was a bitter blow for Simon and for the Australian team which clearly missed him at the top of the innings during the remaining Tests as England went on to win the series convincingly. It wasn’t until 20 February 2011 before Simon was back on the field when he scored 75 in a one‐dayer for the club against Sydney University at Coogee Oval. Shortly after he was back as captain of the NSW side leading the team to the Sheffield Shield Final against Tasmania in where he scored a courageous 96 to remove any fitness doubts. In 56 Tests Simon Katich has an enviable record scoring 4,188 runs at the classic average of 45.03 with 10 centuries and 25 fifties highlighted by a top score of 157 against West Indies in Bridgetown. His overall first‐class career is even more impressive where he has scored a massive 18,608 runs in 231 matches at an average of 53.31 with 51 centuries and 99 fifties. His highest score is his “Bradmanesqe” 306 for NSW against Queensland at the SCG in 2007‐08. Randwick Petersham hasn’t seen a great deal of him due to his first‐class commitments but he remains one of those players who really “puts in” when he gets the chance to play club cricket. So much so he has now passed the 2,000 runs mark for the club with his 315 runs this season taking him to 2,008 runs in 43 matches to be the club’s fifth highest 1st Grade run‐scorer. His average is a fantastic 59.06 which puts him at the top of the club’s 10 years 1st Grade averages. The next season is obviously a big one for Australian cricket and also for Simon. Despite being dumped, his fighting qualities are well known and it will be no surprise if through sheer weight of runs the selectors are knocking on his door once again seeking his help to rescue the national team. We look forward to that likelihood.

72 This Roller‐Coaster called Cricket A year in the life of Nathan Hauritz

A foot injury in the Pakistan Test series against Australia in England in July 2010, forced Nathan Hauritz to return home for treatment. Within two months however, he was back in the baggy green for the two‐Test Border‐Gavaskar Trophy series against India in India. Quite a call for a spinner who had been off the scene injured for over two months to play a Test in India in his comeback match.

And so it proved to be with Nathan averaging 65 for each of his 6 wickets against the rampaging Indians who won the series 2‐ 0. By his own admission he hadn’t bowled as well as he would have liked and some said he was made the scapegoat for the series loss when he was omitted from the Australian squad for the subsequent Ashes Series in Australia. A bitter blow for a player who had taken 58 wickets in 16 Tests over the two year period he was Australia’s no.1 spinner.

Within days of his axing from the side the nature of the man was there for all to see as he turned out for Randwick Petersham in a grade match at Coogee Oval. And while the roller‐coaster nmay the have been at the bottom of the loop, it was just starting to slip into gear on its upwards run.

In a Sheffield Shield match against WA in Perth just a week Nathan Hauritz Maiden First Class Century 2010 later, Nathan recorded his best first‐class performance when he took 5 for 39 to bowl NSW to a good win. And to emphasise just what a roller‐coaster ride cricket can be, a week later his score of 146 went down in the history books as the highest by a nightwatchman since the Sheffield Shield competition began in 1892. In setting that new mark he broke ’s NSW nightwatchman record of 124 in 1981‐82 and Victorian Ray Jordan’s Australian nightwatchman record of 134 established in 1962‐63.

But the roller‐coaster still had not reached its summit because the very next Sheffield Shield match against Queensland at the new Blacktown Olympic Park Oval he rattled up 110 not out and figured in a ninth wicket partnership of 112 with Trent Copeland to get the Blues to a mammoth score of 458 and go on and win the game.

Nathan’s bat seemed on fire as he continued the batting rampage with a top score 51 in the one‐day National Cup match for the Blues against Victoria just before Christmas 2010. And to rub salt into the wounds of the short sighted national selectors who struggled to formulate any sort of spin bowling selection policy, Nathan was named Australian Cricket Association Player of the Month for December 2010. In the voting period Nathan took 13 wickets and scored 307 runs covering two Sheffield Shield matches and three one‐day games. A bit different to the 5 wickets for 679 runs taken by the various spin bowlers used by the selectors in the 5 Test Ashes series!

Just when it seemed like a wipe‐out for Nathan at the national level this season, he was named in Australia’s squad for the ODI World Cup in India. And while he was overlooked for the Australia v England Twenty20 two match series, he was also named in Australia’s squad for the Commonwealth Bank one‐day series against England. He didn’t play in the first match of that series in but made his long‐awaited return to the national team in the second match in Hobart on 21 January 2011. Then disaster. After bowling 8 well‐controlled overs for 36 he suffered a dislocated shoulder in a fielding mishap which eventually required surgery. The upshot was that he took no further part in the Commonwealth Bank Series and to his total devastation he was deemed unfit on the eve of the Australian World Cup squad’s departure for India and replaced in the side by . A season which promised so much delivered so little.

73 Usman Khawaja‐Test Cricketer

A push for two through midwicket off the first ball and a lusty hook to the boundary off the second and Usman Khawaja’s Test career was off to a flyer! The Channel 9 poll said that 89% believed he should have been selected earlier for Australia but today was the day. , January 3 2011. Test Match day.

And while his score of 37 was a little less than he had hoped, the newspapers carried nothing but rave reviews about the cool, calm and collected manner in which Ussie went about his business. Some claimed him to be the saviour of Australian cricket after a disappointing Ashes series against England who went home with cricket’s biggest prize. They were equal in their praise for the support from his family with photos of parents Tariq and Fozia appearing on the front pages of both the Sydney Morning Herald and The Daily Telegraph next to the shot of Ussie’s dashing hook shot for four.

Selected to replace his idol in the crucial number 3 batting spot in the Fifth Test following an injury to the skipper’s left little finger was hardly the ideal stuff for a Test debutante but the selection panel couldn’t have asked for more. Usman had been cover for other players under injury clouds in previous matches including the two Test series against Pakistan in England in July 2010. And here he was walking out on the hallowed turf wearing the baggy green of Australia amid the cheers of 45,531 fans. Every Randwick Petersham supporter who had followed his progress from Green Shield to cricket’s centre stage wished him well. It was a magic moment. Nothing less.

Usman followed up his first innings with 22 in the second displaying glimpses of brilliance. And while he was a little disappointed he didn’t come away from the game with more runs he was thrilled by the experience. He also mentioned how special it was to have Bobby Barter as the Australian room attendant as it added greatly to his comfort in settling into the team. Within a few days Ussie was playing at , Canberra as a member of the Prime Minister’s XI in the traditional match against England. He was Randwick Petersham’s first representative in that team and scored 22 opening the innings.

Usman’s selection for Australia followed three seasons of outstanding performances matched this season with his highest score of 214 against South Australia at the . He now has an impressive first class record of 2,141 runs at an average of 48.65 from 29 matches including 6 centuries and 10 half‐centuries. His record would have been greater but for a hamstring injury shortly after his Test debut which kept him on the sidelines for nearly two months.

Usman became Randwick Petersham’s first home‐grown Test cricketer having graduated through the grades after debuting with the club in 4th Grade in 2002‐03. He also captained the A W Green Shield under 17 years team that season and was the leading batsman with 277 runs at an average of 55.40 and a highest score of 91 not out. The following season he played the first 7 matches in 2nd Grade scoring 389 runs before making his 1st Grade debut at the age of 16 to be the club’s youngest ever 1st grader. This was the beginning of a career in the top grade which has brought him 4,301 1st Grade runs with 13 centuries while his overall club record stands at 5,026 runs with 14 tons. He is the highest run scorer for the club and in 1st Grade.

To cap off a wonderful summer, at the 2011 Usman was named Australian State Player of the Year. A Family Day at the Cricket

There’s nothing better than having the family at the cricket on a Saturday. In the Coyte family it wasn’t so much of being there to watch a family member than deciding which family member to follow and in which match!

It was Saturday 5 February 2011 and 25 years old Scott was playing for New South Wales in the Final of the Twenty20 competition at Adelaide Oval. Not to be outdone, 19 years old sister Sarah was also in Adelaide playing for the New South Wales Breakers in the Final of the women’s Twenty20 against Victoria which was being played on the ground immediately before the men’s game in a double‐header. Apart from all that Sarah’s twin 19 years old brother Adam was at Coogee Oval doing battle in the 1st Grade match against St George. And setting new records too! Adam was involved in a new 1st Grade 5th wicket partnership of 232 while he became Randwick Petersham’s highest scorer in a 1st Grade match when he finished with 223 not out made off 262 balls with 28 boundaries and 3 sixes. Adam’s performance also set a new competition record as he was the youngest player to score a double century in the 117 years history of Sydney 1st Grade Cricket. Proud father Peter was on hand at Coogee to witness Adam’s heroics while keeping a close eye and ear on developments at Adelaide Oval.

As it turned out it wasn’t such a successful day in terms of victories as both Scott and Sarah’s State teams went down while Adam’s team finished with a draw.

74 Scott Coyte

What a fantastic season for Scott Coyte! He played Sheffield Shield, Limited Overs and Twenty20 Big Bash cricket for the NSW SpeedBlitz Blues, won a State contract and played in the Sheffield Shield and Sydney 1st Grade finals!

Last year in his first season with the club, Scott took all before him. As a fast bowler and hard hitting batsman he was Randwick Petersham’s Player of the Season and was one of the leading all‐rounders in Sydney 1st Grade Cricket. Club selectors were quick to capitalise on his talent and named him 1st Grade captain this season. State selectors had also not missed his progress. After some solid efforts in a couple of early Second XI matches he was named in the NSW SpeedBlitz Blues team for the season opener against South Australia in both the one‐day Ryobi Cup competition and the Sheffield Shield match at the Adelaide Oval. He was awarded a NSW contract shortly after to be only the fifth player from the club to receive such acknowledgement.

For NSW, Scott took 10 wickets in 6 Sheffield Shield matches; 8 in 7 Ryobi Cup limited overs games and 5 in 7 Twenty20 matches. His highlight was a Shield hat‐trick against Queensland at the ’Gabba. He knocked over the last two in the Bulls’ first innings then with his first ball in the second dig had Lee Carseldine well caught by to give him an unusual innings‐separated hat‐trick! (Students of the game will recall that vMer Hughes did the same in a Test match against the West Indies in Perth in 1988‐89). The amazing thing about Scott’s hat‐trick was that just a few days earlier in a Ryobi Cup match against the Bulls at the same venue, he took 3 wickets in 4 balls in his second over then watched in dismay as the first ball of his next over produced an edge but was dropped by ‘keeper which would have given him a hat‐trick and 4 wickets in 5 balls!

If there were disappointments during the season one could well be that Scott missed the “ultimate” wicket when he had Ricky Ponting dropped twice in the slips in the Shield match against Tasmania at the SCG. Another may be that he became the holder of an unwanted Big Bash record when the dynamic West Indian opener Chris Gayle hit him for 32 off a single over including 4 sixes and 2 fours in a Twenty20 match against Western Australia at ANZ Stadium.

Scott capped a huge first class season with another outstanding summer at grade level which in no small way contributed to the Randwick Petersham 1st Grade team contesting the Grand Final. He scored 343 runs in his 16 matches including a fantastic 106 not out from just 95 balls against Manly‐Warringah. He also repeated last year’s wicket haul taking another 27 wickets at the excellent average of just 16.8 including another hat‐trick!

Scott Coyte has always been a good cricketer. In 2005‐06 while playing for Campbelltown‐Camden he was the leading wicket‐taker in Sydney with 59 1st Grade wickets at an average of 15.46 while a year earlier he represented Australia in the Under 19 years World Cup. At just 25 years of age Scott Coyte has a wonderful future in the game and we look forward to his continued development with great interest.

Just a few weeks after taking a Sheffield Shield hat‐trick and just missing another in One‐Day cricket, Scott Coyte was at it again taking another 3 wickets in 3 balls, this time in Sydney 1st Grade Cricket. In a Twenty20 match against Hawkesbury at Coogee Oval Coyte reduced the Hawks from 6 for 121 to 124 all out in the space of a few minutes. His final 6 balls brought 4 wickets including batsmen bowled, caught behind and bowled in 3 successive balls. The 4th was caught 3 balls later. This was an historic moment as it was Randwick Petersham’s first hat‐ trick in 1st Grade.

75 Gallery of Champions

A reflection on the cricket careers of those many champions of the past who shaped the club into what it is today. Presented by Life Member Lyall Gardner OAM

Cec Pepper 1918‐1993 As an all‐rounder Cec Pepper was regarded as second only to . Few players have hit a cricket ball as far while fewer still have bowled the googly and flipper with such effectiveness. Tall and immensely strong he is best remembered as one of the greatest players never tot play a Tes for Australia.

Born in the NSW country town of Forbes, Cecil George Pepper was an outstanding schoolboy sportsman excelling at tennis and cricket. At 16 he had won several country tennis championships and Davis Cup stars John Bromwich and Adrian Quist recommended he move to Sydney to sfurther hi tennis career. But when NSW tennis officials ignored his representations he concentrated on his other passion, cricket. After hitting 2,834 runs with a top score of 251 and taking 116 in the 1934‐35 season for Parkes, he moved to Sydney and joined the Petersham club.

For a time he lived at ’ home and received helpful coaching from Petersham stalwart Tommy Cec Pepper (left) walks out to bat with Keith Miller Andrews who urged him never to curb his natural hitting and aggressive spin bowling style. His 478 runs and 26 wickets for Petersham in 1938‐39 caught the attention of state selectors and later that same season he made his debut for NSW. The following season he set a new bowling aggregate record for Petersham taking 72 wickets at the modest average of 14.2.

Pepper played 16 matches for NSW between 1938 and 1941 before joining the AIF. In his second season he made a lasting impression on Australian cricket when he hit 81 in 61 minutes against Queensland in Brisbane with a massive 7 sixes and 8 fours. His 7 sixes remained a NSW record until 2004‐05 when Dominic Thornely hit 11 against WA at the SCG. In his NSW career he scored 648 runs at 27 and took 57 wickets at 33 including 5 wickets in an innings 4 times with 6‐57 his best.

At the end of the war he was in England where he hit a century in a services match in just 23 minutes. He and Keith Miller were the outstanding all‐rounders in the Australian Services team in a 5 “Test” series against England before it played its way through India and each of the Australian states. At Adelaide he believed he had Bradman LBW twice but his appeal was rejected causing him to direct some pointed words towards the umpire. Bradman, who was a member of the Australian Cricket Board sought an apology but it never came and Pepper was subsequently never selected to play for Australia.

In 1946 after missing selection in an Australian side to New Zealand he returned to England for a career in the Lancashire League where he played until 1964. During his time in the League he was the biggest drawcard and could be counted on for 100 wickets each season.

76

After retiring as a player Pepper became a first class umpire but this did not put a dent in the colourful rhetoric for which he had become famous during his playing days. In one county match where a West Indian had taken the ball, Pepper advised the batsman about the change in the bowling by simply saying “same stuff, different colour”. He was also not backward in voicing his opinions commenting that in his day he could have bowled out Ian Botham with a cabbage…with the outside leaves on! While he made the umpiring Test panel he was removed after a few matches following the uttering of a few typical expletives.

Cec Pepper was a colourful character and one who spectators, particularly in the Lancashire League, loved. He could always see the funny side of any friction in his life and it was this trait which endeared him to many. Although he died in Lancashire in 1993, stories of Cec Pepper continue to be retold at cricket dinners around the world.

Bill Beath 1921‐1987

As a fiery and aggressive opening bowler, Bill Beath earned a reputation as one of Grade cricket’s more eccentric characters. “Snarler” was rather an apt nickname for a man who seemed to change personality with a cricket ball in his hand. There are few Randwick players during Bill’s time who don’t have a “Snarler” story to tell.

Neville Ray James Beath was born at Parkes in country NSW in 1921. No‐one seems to know where the name “Bill” came from but anyone who knew him says he was never known by any other name. And like many country lads he went to school in Sydney completing his education at St Joseph’s College before joining the Petersham club in 1941‐42. Bill played with Petersham for 5 seasons taking 96 wickets in 1st Grade and took out the bowling honours on two occasions with 35 wickets for the season. In his final season, 1945‐46 he took 7 for 23 against Paddington.

In 1946‐47 Bill joined Randwick in a move which was was to be the beginning of a life‐long association with the club and one which would Bill Beath establish him as one of the great contributors in its 101 year history. That season was also a good one for Bill being selected for the first of his 7 games for New South Wales after taking an amazing 6 for 9 for Randwick against Glebe. Bill often told the story about that bowling effort claiming he arrived home at dawn after ad “wil night on the town” but the only affect the drink they consumed had on him was to “fire him up”. After that performance Bill never had regard for any suggestion that players should have an early night before a big match!

Bill played for New South Wales for two seasons taking 11 wickets with 2‐20 his best. Interestingly in his second season of first class cricket the club’s 1st Grade scorer David Sherwood was appointed official scorer at the SCG for Sheffield Shield matches.

In 1949‐50 the Randwick committee took particular notice of the “modern approach” to coaching with the result it appointed Bill as Official Coach of the Saturday mornings coaching classes. The results

77 were outstanding with Bill taking a number of lads under his wing and moulding them into a team which won the A W Green Shield.

Bill continued to play 1st Grade cricket until 1960 taking the season bowling honours 6 times while in 1955‐56 he won both batting awards with 304 runs at 25.33 with a top score of 49 not out. He was also captain in many of those matches and continued in that role in 2nd and 3rd grades for the next 8 seasons as a means of developing the up‐and‐coming cricketers. In his later years he would only take the ball to remove some troublesome batsman before throwing it back to the younger bowlers to “finish off”. His snarling attitude towards umpires hadn’t abated however, and one can only wonder how often he may have seen the inside of a Judiciary had he been playing in this day and age. When he retired from play at the end of 1968‐69 he did so with 507 1st Grade wickets at 17.87 and 737 in all grades at the remarkable average of just 15.83.

While he was an outstanding cricketer for Randwick it was as an administrator Bill Beath really stamped his mark on the club. He became club President in 1965‐66 and in his first year was instrumental in bringing the famous West Indian fast bowler Wesley Hall to Randwick for a season. In 1966‐67 he became Randwick’s 14th life member and for the following 13 years Bill and his lovely wife Mary were regarded as nothing less than “Mr and Mrs Randwick” with their presence at Coogee Oval as regular as their occupancy on the balcony of their spacious home unit overlooking the ground directly behind the bowler’s arm.

It was a sad occasion in 1978 when the Coogee Public School headmaster was forced to vacate the President’s chair because of the onset of the insidious Alzheimer’s Disease a condition which eventually took his life in 1987 at just 66 years of age. And while it was the end of an era in the history of Randwick cricket, it was the start of a new beginning because of the indelible example Bill, along with Mary, had set.

Graeme Hughes

Graeme Hughes is one of a rare breed. He is one of only six sportsmen to represent New South Wales at both cricket and rugby league. And as a sportsman with loads of natural ability born into a rugby league and cricket mad family he was destined to do just that.

Graeme Hughes was born in 1955 as the third and youngest son of the legendary Noel ‘Pommie” Hughes, a name synonymous with Petersham‐Marrickville and now Randwick Petersham cricket. He made the Petersham‐Marrickville 1st Grade team when just 16 and two seasons later in 1974‐75 he had scored his maiden 1st Grade century. That same season he was top scorer in the 1st Grade Final with 42 when the Pete’s defeated Manly 147 to 114 at Petersham Oval.

Hughes first represented New South Wales Graeme Hughes when he played rugby league against

78 Queensland as a 19 year old. The following year at age 20, he was selected to play cricket for New South Wales. The left‐hand middle order batsman had a quick initiation into first class cricket when he joined at the SCG when the pair put on 105 against South Australia with Graeme’s contribution 35. In all Hughes played 20 matches for the Blues over a 3 year period scoring 604 runs with 3 half‐centuries. He scored 59 against South Australia at Adelaide; 57 against Victoria at the SCG; and in the return match against Victoria he achieved his highest first class score of 65 at the MCG. He also took 19 catches to emphasise his value in the field.

As a “dual blue”, Graeme is in good company as 2 of the other 5 to have achieved the feat were also Petersham / Petersham‐Marrickville cricketers, namely Bill Farnsworth and Dudley Seddon both of whom played for Newtown.

While Hughes gave away first class cricket prematurely to concentrate on his rugby league career, he continued to play Grade cricket with Petersham‐Marrickville. His 784 runs in 1983‐84 was a club record and in both 1990‐91 and 1991‐92 he led the batting averages for the entire 1st Grade competition. When he eventually retired from cricket at the end of the 1992‐93 season (when he averaged 73.2) he had accumulated a total of 6,216 1st Grade runs in a career spanning 23 years.

In rugby league Hughes was an integral member of the Canterbury‐Bankstown Bulldogs sides of the late 1970s‐early 80’s along with his brothers Garry and Mark who were also Petersham‐Marrickville 1st Grade cricketers. He is also given credit for the famous try that sealed the Bulldogs' grand final victory in 1980.

Apart from his on‐field sporting exploits, Graeme has established himself as a respected media commentator broadcasting rugby league and the Seoul Olympics for Channel 10 as well as calling the football for Channel 7. Mid‐way through 2010 he published a book called “Dogs at War” covering the controversial history ofe th Canterbury‐Bankstown rugby league club.

Today Graeme runs a media events organisation and hosts the widely‐syndicated Talkin' Sport show on Radio 2SM. He is also a popular Master of Ceremonies at Randwick Petersham Cricket functions.

Gary Bensley

Who was the best all‐rounder in a club, a team or at a particular time is probably the most discussed topic in cricket. The Randwick club had quite a number with Frank Merchant, Wally Cole, Bill Ellison, Stan Banwell, Trevor Jay and Peter Devlin featuring high on the list. And while each of those players scored more runs and took more wickets in their Randwick careers, Gary Bensley was such a dynamic player he may well have been the best of them all.

Gary Bensley joined Randwick as an 18 year old all‐rounder from Inverell late in the 1976‐77 season. He played only a couple of games in 2nd Grade that season but displayed enough talent to prompt Bill Beath to comment in his President’s Gary Bensley report that “Gary and one or two others, carry the

79 immediate hopes of the club”. The others Bill referred to were Malcolm Brown, Gary Mathew and Michael Whitney who, along with Bensley, formed the nucleus of Randwick’s four 1st Grade premiership teams in the seasons which followed.

Gary commenced the 1977‐78 season in 2nd Grade as an opening batsman andl occasiona right arm change bowler. By round four he had been promoted to 1st Grade where he took all before him with his medium‐paced swingers and was a key member of the team’s Premiership win. He took 38 1st Grade wickets at just 15.5 each including 7‐72 against Cumberland and 6‐39 against North Sydney. In the latter match he claimed a hat‐trick bowling the third batsman as he shouldered arms. In all he took 45 grade wickets and 16 in PG’s to give him 61 for the season.

Two seasons later, Gary broke a Randwick record whichd ha stood for 48 years by taking 64 wickets in the season, at an average of 13.90. That mark remained the highest aggregate until Scott Obey took 65 in 1998‐99. He also scored 519 runs that summer including 100 against University of NSW and 93 against St George. His swing and cut off a disconcerting short run was too much for many batsmen who let the ball go only to see their stumps cartwheeled. He was also fast becoming an extremely attacking left‐hand batsman who could take opposing bowlers apart very quickly.

In 1980‐81 he made his long awaited debut for NSW when he played the first of five limited‐overs matches although it was not until two years later in 1983‐84 he played his first Sheffield Shield match for the Blues. Sadly that was to be his only first class game which bore no reflection on his ability at that level.

In Grade cricket he continued to excel and clearly was the dominant player in the competition. In 1983‐84 he captained the 1st XI to yet another Randwick premiership which was his fourth and his second as captain. He took 53 wickets and hit 464 runse to win th Sydney Morning Herald Player of the Season Award. He also won the club’s highest award, the O A Taylor Player of the Season Award which he took out again in each of the following two seasons after scoring 706 in 1984‐85 and 420 in 1985‐86. His efforts attracted many offers and in 1986‐87 he found it difficult to refuse a lucrative enticement from Mosman and so moved from Coogee to the North Shore.

Randwick remained in Gary’s heart however, and in 1992‐93 the name of Gary Bensley again appeared in the club’s First XI under Andrew Millican’s captaincy. And he showed he had lost none of his guile with a 7 for 23 effort against Hawkesbury to reduce the Hawks from 1‐96 to 123 all out. Averaging 33 with the bat and just 18 with the ball, Gary was a principal contributor to the team making the semis. That unfortunately was Gary’s final Grade Cricket season and for the following few years he enjoyed setting records for Epping in the Sydney Shires competition.

In 10 seasons with Randwick Gary scored 3,781 runs with four centuries, took 370 wickets and held 75 catches. With his time at Mosman included, he finished his career with 6,307 runs and 527 wickets in 1st Grade to be the 12th of only 18 players in the history of Sydney Grade Cricket to have achieved the 5,000 runs/500 wickets double.

Put simply Gary Bensley was a magnificent all‐round cricketer who performed some sort of brilliance virtually every time he took the field. And while others may have greater statistics over a longer period few could boast the dominance he brought to the game and which helped produce four 1st Grade premierships and some individual performances which mere mortals could only dream about. While cricket was played under the Randwick banner for just on 101 years it is hard to imagine that in the 10 years Gary Bensley wore the Pegasus emblem there was ever a greater all‐rounder.

81 Social Report by Nigil Singh

A great man once said, “There can be no success without celebration”. This year we again had an enjoyable social calendar that helped to bond us for our on-field exploits. Taking a different tack, we pared back the number of formal events this year in order to accommodate the 10 Year Anniversary Dinner and a number of smaller team based functions. The main club events we had were:

Season Opener A night to re-acquaint ourselves with each other and particularly with our sponsors. Always well attended and always lots of fun.

Ladies Day (sponsored by Bardwell Blooms) A day to give back to our long suffering wives, girlfriends and mothers. A fantastic event that has become one of the cornerstones of our social calendar. Glenn McGrath and Michael Whitney at the Christmas and New Year’s Drinks President’s Luncheon Maroubra Bowling Club hosted the event this year. Great to see the young and up-and-coming players mixing it with the older generation of past players. This year coincided with a Bucks Day....the rest is left to the imagination.

10 Year Dinner Many attendees have said, one of the best sporting dinners. A magical night and a Club Championship win.

Grant Rimmer, James Tyson, Alex Sciascia, Darren McCoy, Trent Griffiths & Troy Brewster at the 10 Year Dinner Many thanks to everyone who helped on the social side this year: all the captains and managers for spreading the good word; our sponsors for their hospitality and generosity; and to Matthew Hilder, Chris Sullivan, Brett Hunter, Neale Anderson, Julie Muir, John McLoughlin, Faith Mitchell, Anyes McLean and Lee Farlow for putting in the hard yards when asked.

Social events are the lifeblood of any sporting organisation. Not only do they provide an opportunity to mix with players from across all grades but they enable us to show support for our sponsors in a cordial and friendly environment.

82 The President’s Luncheon

Paul Roos of the Sydney Swans and ex-Test bowling legend Glenn McGrath were the guest speakers at the club’s Ashes luncheon on November 19 2010 at the prestigious Watersedge Restaurant at the Rocks – right under the Harbour Bridge.

A total of 180 guests attended – the highest number we have achieved at the annual President’s luncheon. They laughed at Roos’ and McGrath’s stories whilst tucking into some fine food including crab and lamb and quaffing some fine wines. Compere Dale (Tex) Walker was a late stand-in for regular MC Graeme Hughes who was called away on business and did a great job drawing both McGrath and Roos into entertaining conversations, running the auction and keeping the day to schedule. Thanks Tex!

The lunch is a major fundraiser for the club and an opportunity to thank sponsors. Sponsors attending included Harry Solomons and Jody Whitehead from Kingsgrove Sports, Warren Burr from Petersham RSL while BT had a table of staff and advisors. Thanks also to those who donated auction items. The day at the NRL Tigers Box donated by sponsor David Trodden from DTA Lawyers was again popular as was the Swans signed shirt donated by club man and ex CEO Ray Stafford. Kingsgrove Sports also donated two auction items as did President Mike Whitney. The Satasia Restaurant dinner with a few RPCC stars was a popular auction item.

Thanks to our corporate supporters Sydney Markets, Frank Knight, BWS lawyers, TCA (division of Energy Australia), Precise Air, Terry Psarakis Accounting, Shanahan Tudehope Lawyers and the Commonwealth Bank for taking tables at the lunch.

Organisers Chris (Fous) Sullivan, Neale Anderson, Anyes McLean and Peter Devlin are worthy of special mention. Also thanks to Mr Posterity – Steve Smith who took the photographic record of the day. Thanks also to the Watersedge Restaurant – great job, great venue and excellent service.

And in thanking our sports stars Paul Roos and Glenn McGrath a very special thank you to Glenn because he was married only the day before and interrupted his honeymoon to be with us!

More than a few patrons continued to party at the Mercantile Hotel up the road – but were regretting it on Saturday morning.

83 Phil Tresidder Memorial Golf Day A Randwick Petersham Legends event

Despite a threat of a Major Rain Event there were but a few sprinkles throughout the morning as 15 teams comprising 57 eager and competitive golfers took to the fairways of Beverley Park Golf Course last Friday 15 October chasing the glory of winning the Phil Tresidder Memorial Cup.

This was the eighth running of this event and the first time in the past eight years that we have played away from Randwick Golf Course. However, the change was worthwhile as the course was in magnificent condition and played accordingly. It has already been Richard CheeQuee, Scott Obey and Brett Hunter receive the Phil booked for next year. Tresidder Memorial Cup from Michael Tresidder

With a new course we couldn’t compare the scores against previous years but this year’s champions certainly turned on an exhibition of power golf which might hold as a record over the next few years. Returning a net score of just 49.375 after going around in 58 strokes or 12 UNDER par, the winning team comprised Brett Hunter (h’cap 18), Richard CheeQuee (18), Gary Whitaker (13) and Scott Obey (20). They had 12 birdies, 6 on each 9!

They were obviously going to be hard to beat as they were champion 1st Grade cricketers in their own right with Cheeqs hitting over 13,000 runs including 23 tons in his grade cricket career while Scott Obey’s 65 wickets in season 1998‐99 was the most by any Randwick player in its 100 years history. It was also the second time Richard and Gary Whitaker have had their name inscribed on the Cup having been in the winning team in 2007‐08. They are also the only two players to have won it twice. My information is that the handicappers have their red pens out already with the real possibility Cheeqs and his mates may be in single figures next year!

Once again we were fortunate to have Phil Tresidder's nephew Michael Tresidder on hand to present the Cup to the winners. Michael, along with Phil's neice's husband Chris Hall who flew down from his home on the Gold Coast, are fantastic supporters of the event and apart from the fact they attend every year, it's just great to have them with us for the day.

For the second year in a row the runners‐up were Chris Burke, Mike Kemp, Kevin Felton and Ross Davies with a net 51.125 while Chris Sullivan, Bronco D’Jura, Peter Harrison and Brandon McCarthy were just a fraction behind in third place with a net 51.25.

Much to the relief of the President, the Mike Whitney group did not win the "Bradman" this year despite the fact Whit’s name appears 3 times on the trophy since it was introduced in 2005. The trophy for last place (or 15th to be politically correct) went to John Mison, John Dingle, Bill Teasdale and Ken Graham who came in with a net 66.125. It’s not how you play. It’s that you play.

Closest to the Pin prizes went to Bronco D’Jura (3rd hole), Ben Ellis (10th), Michael Whitney (13th)…yes, Michael Whitney…while Drew Cremin hit a scorcher on the 17th hole to knock off Mike Kemp (last year’s winner) for the long drive. A couple of show‐ offs those two.

All in all, a successful day which helped with the on‐going funding of The Phil Tresidder Trust which when fully funded will provide promising young Randwick Petersham cricketers with a development scholarship for a season in England.

If there was a downer for the day it was that apart from Matt Hilder who is a committee member, not one current player participated. Players need to be aware they are the ultimate beneficiaries of club events.

Many thanks to Chris Sullivan and Brett Hunter for the organisation of the event and to Tony Martin and Matt Hilder for their contribution on the day. Our grateful thanks to all golfers, to Sue Harding who was our sole female competitor and especially to our many generous sponsors who made the day possible with the donation of prizes.

Lyall Gardner on behalf of Randwick Petersham Cricket Legends Society

84 Legends in their Own Lifetime The Randwick Petersham Cricket Legends Society

Our financial membership increased to 75 this season which is a most pleasing result. We welcomed nine new members: Peter Coyte, Peter Bayley, Joe Hill, Sue Hill, Barry Otto, Dean White, Tony Martin, James LeHuray and Col Blackman. It was also good to have six former members return, namely Bob Barter, Chris Burke, Donn Ledwidge, Todd Greenberg, Peter Harrison and John Soames. Unfortunately we had 11 members who didn’t renew their subscription this season: Andrew Ackerman, Bill Knowles, Paul Ledwidge, Gary Mathew, John Nesbitt, Paul Toole, Chris York, Jen Harrison and Martin Rorke, Bruce Ramsay, Paul Jackson and Ron Crippin. We hope to have them all back on board next season.

A prime purpose behind the Randwick Petersham Cricket Legends Society is to rekindle and maintain closer links between former players, members, supporters and officials to ensure those many friendships created through the old Randwick and Petersham-Marrickville clubs are not lost. Another ideal is that a society such as this provides a real incentive to our current players to see so many people who have been involved with the club and the founding clubs over the years, being there to provide support to them. It was great to have so many of our members attend the 10th Anniversary Dinner as well as a number of Grade Cricket matches this season.

The main function this season was the “Phil Tresidder Memorial Cup” Golf Day at Beverley Park Golf Course on 15 October 2010. Proceeds for the day were aimed at the Phil Tresidder Memorial Scholarship with a solid profit of $1,727.80 a handy result. It is pleasing to report that the value of the Scholarship has climbed to almost $36,500 at the end of the cricket financial year on 30 April 2011. The plan in due course is to use the earnings from the Scholarship to fund the development of a promising Randwick Petersham cricketer through a placement with an English club for a season. We still need further funds to be able to get the plan up and running but there is a good chance the scheme Legends at the 10th Anniversary Dinner could commence next summer.

In terms of the Society's finances, we finished the year with a surplus of $1,891.77 following income of $2,046.77 and expenditure of $155.00. We received $1,725.00 in subscriptions and bank interest of $321.77. The only expenditure we had was $30 for engraving on the Golf Trophy and a transfer of $125 to the club’s account re an annual award paid to us in error. At 30 April 2011, the net bank balance of Randwick Petersham Cricket Legends Society was a healthy $11,002.68.

The committee comprised Lyall Gardner (Chairman), John Pearson, Shane Redenbach, Bill Anderson, Ray Stafford and Ross Davies.

The following 75 were Financial Members in 2010-11: John Affleck, Bill Anderson, Michael Arratoon, Peter Bain, Bob Barter, Margaret Bayley, Peter Bayley, John Benaud, Richie Benaud, Gary Bensley, Col Blackman, Col Booth, John Brewster, Chris Burke, Len Cartwright, Richard CheeQuee, John Connell, Peter Coyte, Ross Davies, Tim Dein, Ken Devlin, Peter Devlin, Steve Devlin, Bob Duff, Harry Ellison, Lyall Gardner, Robin Gardner, Allan Gear, Todd Greenberg, Peter Harrison, John Hayward, Wayne Heathcote, Joe Hill, Sue Hill, Brett Hunter, Trevor Jay, John Johnson, Peter Johnston, David Kelly, Mike Kemp, James LeHuray, Donn Ledwidge, John Letson, Graeme Marston, Tony Martin, Royce McCormack, Ian McNeilly, John Mison, Wayne Mulherin, John O’Loughlin, Cec Orrock, Barry Otto, Gordon Owen, Daryl Parmenter, Corey Pearson, John Pearson, Mark Preddey, Shane Redenbach, Tom Regan, Peter Rolls, John Soames, Ray Stafford, Chris Sullivan, John Sullivan, Peter Taylor, Kevin Thomas, Wayne Tilley, Brad Timbrell, Alan Turner, John Warwick, Dean White, Mike Whitney, Bob Wilson, Barry Wood, Alan Wright.

The following 33 members have paid in advance for next season, 2011-12: Bill Anderson, Bob Barter, Margaret Bayley, Peter Bayley, John Benaud, Richie Benaud, Col Blackman, Chris Burke, John Connell, Peter Coyte, Ross Davies, Harry Ellison, Lyall Gardner, Robin Gardner, Todd Greenberg, Peter Harrison, John Hayward, Joe Hill, Sue Hill, Peter Johnston, James LeHuray, Donn Ledwidge, John Letson, Tony Martin, John O’Loughlin, Cec Orrock, Barry Otto, Tom Regan, Peter Rolls, John Soames, Dean White, Mike Whitney, Alan Wright.

The annual fee for the 2011-12 season is $25 (or $50 for the next two seasons) and is due and payable from 1 September 2011. To renew or join, please contact Lyall Gardner at 1 Jefferson Crescent, Bonnet Bay, 2226 or by phone on 9528 4126 or email [email protected]. We are very keen to hear from as many “oldies” as possible as the Society is a fun way of keeping involved and remaining in touch with each other.

Randwick Petersham’s Cricket Academy for our best Under 16 players was again held in the October school holidays at our re-developed training headquarters Snape Park. All of our later-to-be-selected AW Green Shield players attended the academy camp and I’m sure that provided a useful platform to their relative success and close team spirit.

This year’s camp was stretched to 4 days to incorporate a full practice match against a touring Armidale side on the Tuesday. On the Thursday we ran a training session at the SCG Indoor Centre alongside the NSW Blues men’s squad. Using the world class facilities as well as watching the way the state side went about their work was a great way to end the camp

The camp again provided our young talent with the perfect opportunity to become familiar with our club’s history, its people, its facilities and its training methods. The camp provided the opportunity to work with our experienced coaches as well as some of our representative and 1st Grade players. Most importantly the camp gave our squad the chance to bond together as well as develop their skill-set at a crucial stage of their development as cricketers.

The opportunity to work with the boys for 4 full days gave us a great deal of time to vary our training and expose the squad to different ways to prepare and refine their own games. Working with our coaches on specific batting and bowling drills, game situation fielding drills, cross training including boxing and fitness session, lectures on the mental side of the game and even a talk from the club psychologist Alan Mantle. We tried to cover every aspect of how modern day cricketers can prepare. The boys identified that training was not all about long and stale net sessions and that there are several ways both textbook and left-field to improve and challenge themselves as cricketers.

It was fantastic to see several of our academy players training with the grade club regularly on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Some managed to play in our lower grade sides and at such a young age this is great for the future of our club. A goal of our club is to develop future 1st Grade players from within, and I think we are on the right track with camps such as this.

The highlight of the camp was the question and answer session conducted with Usman Khawaja deep in the bowels of the SCG. Little did the boys know that just a few short months later Usman would make his Test debut at the very same venue. Usman spoke about how he had trod a similar path to the Randwick Juniors and Randwick Petersham Green Shield side. For the boys to have the opportunity to pick the brains of Usman and Burt Cockley and hopefully Simon Katich and Nathan Hauritz in future academies, it’s hard not to be inspired.

Thank you to all of the coaches and players who made the camp such a successful and enjoyable one. Most of all thanks to the academy players themselves for their energy and willingness to develop themselves as cricketers. You are at a great club lads, keep pushing yourselves and the only way is up!

86 Junior Development Report

by David Townsend, Junior Development Manager

The Junior Development program for Randwick Petersham involves offering free coaching assistance to all local junior clubs and schools that fall within the boundaries of the club’s geographical reach.

At the start of each season letters are sent out to local schools and clubs inviting them to take advantage of this offer. Randwick Petersham is aware that clubs are highly stretched in terms of time and resources. Many coaches are volunteers with little cricket coaching background, and as such, often need assistance.

Our Junior Development program offers to help these coaches by sending our Development Officers out to run practise session, thereby providing ideas, structure and technical advice.

The types of session that were organised this year included:

- Multi-skill net sessions - Centre wicket practises - Fielding drills - Specialist batting and bowling clinics - Preparation for Finals matches - Coach the Coaches

As always we were fortunate to be able to send out experienced coaches who could offer some of the ideas that they had learnt over the years. This year the coaches involved in the program were Randwick Petersham Assistant Coach David Skuthorpe and English cricketer Toby Finzel.

David has been involved with Randwick Petersham for over a decade and as well as acting as Assistant Coach at the club, he helped coach the Green Shield side this year.

Toby Finzel joined us from club cricket in England and had an outstanding year, finishing up as the leading run-scorer in the club.

This year we were fortunate enough to work with the following schools and clubs :

- Marcellin College Randwick - Matraville Sports High School - Darlinghurst Primary School - Bondi Primary School - Cleveland St High School - Woollahra Primary School - Maccabi Junior Cricket Club - Marrickville Junior Cricket Club - Earlwood Junior Cricket Club - Hurlstone Park Junior Cricket Club - Special Olympics - Marrickville

Congratulations to both the Canterbury Wests Junior Association and the South Eastern Junior Assocation for providing the opportunities for youngsters to play cricket within our area. As a Grade Club, it is important that we continue to foster strong links with these Associations.

We encourage all clubs and schools to take up our offer of free coaching next season, and I would be delighted to sit down with any coaches or teachers to work out how we can best assist them.

President’s Report for 2010-11 Season

The Association continued to have a successful season with the highlight being the U14 Moore Shield representative side not only winning the U14 final but also winning the U14 State Challenge played at the SCG against the Country U14 side. The U13 Gee side won its’ way through to their representative final and the U12 Cawsey to their semi final.

A focus for this season was the development of facilities, in particular practice nets, and the Association was able to assist Randwick Petersham in the redevelopment of the Snape Park facility and is expected to equally help the Easts club in future seasons. Our attempts to help the Councils were not successful with our offer to co-fund or fund additional net facilities being rejected by Randwick and Botany councils.

There was a drop in the number of teams entered into our competitions with 12 fewer teams compared to the 2009-10 season. There is concern that this may not be a temporary occurrence and the Association has been in discussions with Cricket NSW in regards to the format of the games on offer. For the first time T20 games were introduced into the U16 and U14 competitions with mixed results.

The greatest problem confronting the Association is the cost of ground hire with in excess of $60,000 being charged by Randwick and Botany councils. This represents a 100% increase in 2 seasons and is not sustainable and if a resolution is not forthcoming will impact playing numbers due to the fees the Association will be required to charge.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank the Randwick Petersham club for allowing the Association use of Coogee Oval, Petersham Oval, Kensington Oval and Snape Park during the season which allows the Association to be the only junior association that plays U16 games on turf. This gives our players perhaps their only chance to play on turf and on quality grounds with the highlight now being the U16 final on Coogee Oval.

This is my final season as President of the Association as I step down to concentrate on the Sydney Coastal Club, so that it can continue to produce quality grade players, not least being Usman Khawaja who is our first Test player from the junior ranks since Mike Whitney. I would like to thank Mike Whitney, David Holland and Steve Devlin for their assistance and ongoing support during the season particularly in regard to Snape Park and ground hire and hopefully the Club can build on its association with South Eastern into the future.

Mark Coles Usman Khawaja – Sydney Coastal Junior President

88 Grounds Report by Stephen Devlin The 2010‐11 season has again seen our grounds rating well in the annual Sydney Cricket Association assessments. Coogee (24 playing days) rated 9th out of the 20 1st and 2nd Grade grounds with an 8.44 point average compared to the No.1 ground Joe McAleer Oval (27 days) at Blacktown which averaged 9.03. A total of 41 grounds were rated in the lower grades with Kensington (12 days) placing 14th with an average of 7.65 points and Petersham (18 days) 25th with a 7.31 average. The top lower grade ground was Bankstown (11 days only) which averaged 9.27. To win a Club Championship a club needs good playing facilities. Our win this year again emphasises the quality of our grounds thus enabling our players to consistently perform to the best of their ability.

It was great to have Petersham Oval back in the fold this season following the wicket reconstruction and some tender loving care from Green Options. Green Options now prepare the wickets at all our grounds plus our training facilities at Snape Park, Maroubra. We are indeed fortunate to have their services.

While Petersham was out of action last season and therefore not available for comparison with its rating this season, it is pleasing to note that both Coogee (12th to 9th) and Kensington (27th to 14th) both advanced in the assessments this summer. Assessments are based on umpire ratings for each day of play and take into account the pace, bounce, hardness, grass coverage, pitch markings and maintenance as welle as th overall wicket square and outfield.

The only real downside with our facilities was again the cleaning and rubbish left at grounds together with pavilions being left unlocked on a regular basis. The problem was not only from outside hirers but teams within our club. I mentioned this issue in my report last year but unfortunately the issue continues. It has again been tabled for discussion by the incoming committee as a matter of URGENCY.

Thanks again to both Randwick and Marrickville Councils for their continued support together with the boys from Green Options who deliver to us some of the best wickets and grounds in Sydney. Thanks Tony, Dane and Damian. We also appreciate the efforts of Peter Devlin and his team who again assisted with arranging all the necessary equipment required at our grounds.

And to all our volunteers a big THANK YOU. What would we do without you!! The Museum Randwick Petersham Cricket Museum, Coogee Oval This season, following the foresight of Bobby Barter in establishing the Randy Petersham museum first at Petersham and then at Coogee, the top of the Coogee Oval grandstand was renovated. This included the installation of glass display cabinets, a kitchenette, storeroom, new flooring and an amenities upgrade.

Now on display are some terrific premiership photos from Randwick CC and Petersham-Marrickville DCC in conjunction with Club Championship pennants. Furthermore, there are trophies, playing and premiership caps, bats and equipment detailing part of the 253 playing years of the foundation clubs and Randwick Petersham.

Further work to be completed: • Renovation of the 100 year old Australian cedar meeting table • Framing and hanging Premiership photographs • Framing and hanging other photographs • Hanging remaining honour boards • Displays for State and International players • History of RPCC text Thank you to Alan Wright, David Holland and the committee who were instrumental in starting the renovations. The assistance from Matt Yiend, Nick Saady and Toby Finzel in unpacking the display cases and shifting the meeting table was greatly appreciated while thanks are also extended to Dean White for his electrical work. Thanks also to Lyall Gardner who has provided a wealth of information, photos and objects relating to the history of the clubs and their famous cricketers. In addition, thank you to those who have generously donated items to the museum.

Finally, if anyone has items associated with the foundation clubs and/or Randwick Petersham that they may wish to donate, be assured that they will be preserved. The museum conveys the history of our club and also celebrates all players, volunteers and supporters associated with RPCC without whom this club could not succeed.

89 Coaching Report by Bill Anderson, Director of Cricket Operations

The redevelopment of the Snape Park training facility has been an exciting and positive step for Randwick Petersham cricketers as well as the many surrounding cricket clubs and social players that feed into our organisation. Such a training venue encourages players to attend training and perform to their best. None of this would have been possible without support and direction from our own Management Committee, along with Randwick Council, South‐ Eastern Junior Cricket Association and Cricket NSW. We extend to all of these groups our sincere appreciation.

This year’s tilt at the title commenced way back at the start of June with pre‐season training being conducted at the Sydney Cricket Ground as well as Matraville Sports High School. Players were able to work on all facets of their game including fitness and fielding. Prior to the commencement of the competition, trial games were held against North Sydney, in addition to our own internal trials. Unfortunately our annual match again Stockton was washed out.

Training throughout the season was held at Snape Park every Tuesday and Thursday rain, hail or shine and it was obvious that the new facility helped increase attendance, work rate and intensity, particularly before Christmas.

Our coaching team of Rob Huxley, Andrew Millican, Peter Devlin and David Skuthorpe were committed to improving individual and team performances and implementing change as required. We also benefitted this year from the input of sports psychologist, Alan Mantle. Alan provided another dimension to support captains and players in their quest to improve in all aspects of their game.

The efforts of the coaching staff were an important part of the success of the Club. On behalf of all players and captains, we thank the coaching staff for their dedication and willingness to go the extra mile to make all of those things happen that sometimes might go unnoticed.

Whenever our representative players were available, they were always willing to help out at training by providing advice, mentoring and support for players at all levels and this gave a real boost to our practice sessions.

Once again the club conducted a Junior Academy program during eth October schools holidays. The Academy was targeted at identifying and developing under 14s and under 16s with the potential to play for the club in the Green Shield competition. The Academy was excellently run by Eddie Otto with the support of John McLoughlin, other grade players and the coaching staff.

Of course the highlight of our season was once again winning the Club Championship, our second title in four years. The Club Championship reflects the overall strength of any club and in some way every player in each grade has made a contribution to RPCC winning this trophy.

We must acknowledge Stan Beal and Richard McCord for their tireless efforts and professionalism in the vital area of coordinating practice sessions.

To the canteen ladies, particularly Robin and Sue, many thanks. The ladies not only provide us with unsurpassed afternoon teas, but their friendship and support makes it a pleasure to play at home on any given weekend.

To all of the players and coaches partners and wives, thank you for your encouragement and participation in our club.

Our hardworking committee, our team managers, scorers and volunteers have put in countless hours to make Randwick Petersham a great club. Their involvement is what makes it all happen. They are without doubt the best band of brothers and sisters any cricket club could ever have.

90 Report from the Financial Controller

The past year has been a very busy year for the Club, both on and off the field. Some of the major highlights in the accounts have been the expenditure on Snape Oval, the refurbishment and upgrade of the museum and change rooms at Coogee Oval, and the successful dinner for the Club, celebrating 10 years since Randwick and Petersham-Marrickville clubs joined forces.

The Randwick Cricket Club Foundation again made a substantial contribution to our funding of junior development with a payment of $14,500. A NSW Communities programme grant gave us the funds for the work at Coogee Oval and the South Eastern Junior Cricket Association assisted the upgrade of Snape Oval with a contribution of $15,000. Sponsorship increased by some $28,000 over the previous year with Neale Anderson and his sub-committee again doing a great job.

Steve Devlin put in a busy year looking after grounds maintenance and hiring. Maintenance was up very significantly on the previous year with an increase of $32,000 brought about by our commitment to Petersham Oval. Income from ground hire was down marginally on 2009-10.

Social activities saw a profitable and successful November luncheon. This was followed by our 10th anniversary dinner in March. Both these functions involved a huge effort by Chris Sullivan and his team and they are to be congratulated on the undoubted success of these events.

The end of a hectic year has seen the Club emerge with a deficit of $5,409. Thank you to all my fellow committee members and volunteers for their contributions to a very successful and exciting year for the Club. Bernie Dagg Financial Controller

Randwick Petersham Cricket Foundation

The Randwick Petersham Cricket Foundation was established on 15 April 2003 following the receipt of a generous legacy of $200,000 left to the club by the late Wally South, a former player and patron of the old Randwick Cricket Club. To ensure this legacy would secure Randwick Petersham’s financial future and ongoing viability, the then Management Committee decided to transfer it to a separate fund controlled by an independent trustee set up to manage the donation along with any other monies which may be contributed to the fund from time to time.

Pursuant to that objective, the Foundation was created under the management of a trustee company controlled by up to five directors. The current directors are Peter Wright (Chairman), club President Mike Whitney and long established “legends” of the club Alan Turner, John Pearson and Steve Devlin. Administrative assistance is provided by Lyall Gardner.

Responsibility for investing the funds of the Foundation rests with the trustee company directors who also have absolute discretion in determining the extent of any payment. The purpose of the trust is expressed in the Trust Deed as being to hold the capital and income in perpetuity for the promotion and encouragement of the game of cricket at the Randwick Petersham Cricket Club.

Since the establishment of the Foundation the capital has grown to more than $245,000. All such capital is held on interest bearing bank deposit and no part was or is exposed to any investment which may have been subjected to the recent downturn in financial markets. The capital and any accrued interest remains protected by the Australian Government’s bank guarantee.

Over the eight years life of the Foundation, the trustees have exercised their discretion in the distribution of income on a number of separate occasions and have paid a total of $89,045.45 to Randwick Petersham Cricket, including $14,500 this financial year. No other payments other than annual Government fees have been paid.

The Randwick Petersham Cricket Foundation is dedicated to the continuation of the club as a major force in Sydney Grade Cricket. While we are extremely grateful to Wally South for his foresight, we are mindful of the need to ensure the capital of the Foundation grows as the years roll by.
