6 President’s Report

What an outstanding season we had! In a summer when we were in “re-build mode” and expected to struggle following the departure of more than half the 1st Grade side from the previous year, we achieved far more than could have been imagined. It was a simply outstanding effort from our members, players, officials, sponsors and supporters that resulted in our two senior teams making the competition finals. Truly remarkable.

Ladies and Gentlemen, once again I am delighted to present to you my report as President of this great club. It is my 12th report and I am as proud in presenting it as I was when I presented my first in 2002.

All clubs experience downturns as some stage and we were expecting that this season having lost virtually all our first class players and many other quality cricketers who carried us to the 1st Grade Grand Final in each of the previous two years. Players such as Usman Khawaja moving to Queensland where he won a spot in the Australian Test touring team to India and to England for the 2013 Ashes Series; Nathan Hauritz returning to Queensland after 6 seasons with us; Burt Cockley transferring to Western Australia where he ended up in the Sheffield Shield team late in the season; the Coyte brothers Scott and Adam along with Damian Wall returning to Campbelltown-Camden; Matthew Frith moving interstate; Matthew Yiend, Brenton Barker, Angus Palmer and Rob Wilson playing with Easts; Glen Whichello going to University of NSW while club stalwarts Andrew Harrison and Troy Brewster hung up their boots after many seasons with us. But rally we did exceeding all expectations by making the 1st Grade Belvidere Cup semi- finals and the Limited Overs qualifying finals while 2nd Grade made it through to the qualifying finals.

The bonus for us was that Simon Katich remained with the club after announcing his retirement from first class cricket in Australia the previous year. And what a wonderful member of the club Simon has been. He is our longest-serving first grader having played 56 matches in 11 seasons scoring 2,627 runs with 6 centuries at an average of 54.73. His influence went a long way towards players and in particular the younger players, getting the best out of themselves by taking the opportunities as they were presented. We promoted the season as a summer of opportunity and the fact we had 10 players make their club 1st Grade debut including 7 who played their first-ever game in 1st Grade proved the point. I would also like to formally recognise the outstanding role that Bill Anderson played in this revival along with Peter Devlin who provided much-needed support.

What a great start to the summer it was, adding more silverware to our trophy cabinet! The State Challenge Shield, a match between the City and Country one-day champions of the previous season was decided at Kensington Oval the weekend prior to the 2012-13 season. Under new skipper Adam Semple it was a great effort to defeat Illawarra and bring home the shield. Adam went on to show what a superb player and clubman he has been in leading his young charges through some difficult times to end up contesting the finals. It is indeed a fitting outcome that he should be named our player Clubman of the Year. It was also good to see him do so well in the Second XI team. A Sheffield Shield match is not beyond him.

While we didn’t set the world on fire in the lower grades or the Metro Cup the potential of our many young players was on show for all to see. Our grade captains did a great job in bringing out the best in their players and I extend my thanks to captains Rod Stafford (2nd Grade), Matt Hilder (3rd Grade), David Bourke (4th Grade) and new skipper Jason McLean (5th Grade). We were certainly fortunate to have such experienced and mature cricketers looking after our sides. Through their efforts we were also able to improve our position in the Club Championship from 12th last year to a healthy 9th this summer.

One of my great concerns over the years has been the indifferent performances of our under 21 years Poidevin-Gray and our under 16 A W Green Shield teams. But what a great effort this year! Our PG boys were fantastic and it was just a handful of runs which kept them out of the finals. Going down by one run to ND’s then three runs to the competition leaders Sutherland in the final two games was heart-breaking particularly as we had a side which could well have taken out the trophy. Our Green Shield boys started brilliantly with three wins but unfortunately their form fell away a bit relegating them to 12th spot. The potential is unlimited however, and I was very proud of the way they played their cricket. We are now looking strong in these comps.

As an old fast bowler I was delighted to see a few milestones achieved this season. Both Nigil Singh and Rod Stafford went past the 300 wickets mark for the club while Rod also passed 200 in 2nd Grade with Jake Wilson, who had another outstanding season, bringing up a 1st Grade century of wickets. James Tyson also went past the 100 wickets mark in 2nds. Congratulations gentlemen!

Sponsorships have been hard to come by for most sporting organisations and therefore we are extremely grateful to have had such a wonderful group of sponsors behind us this season. Through their generosity we were able to provide vital facilities and programs which would not have been possible without their involvement. In fact it has been an exciting sponsorship season for us with many new businesses coming on board. We had Bendigo Bank (Clovelly Community Branch) join us as a major sponsor along with personal hygiene products company Picketts Health. Flight Centre Coogee, MSA (the safety company), Canon and Greg Chapple Cricket Centre, Beastwear, Woodworm, ESM sports management company, Anytime Fitness and Sydney City

7 Roosters were also welcome additions to our friendly group of sponsors. Their importance to our continued success is immeasurable and we thank them all for their continued support and friendship. Neale Anderson, who has been outstanding in this program this season, has put together a detailed list of our sponsors elsewhere 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. I must also mention the superb contribution to the sponsorship agenda by James Wynn, who is fast becoming the club’s no.1 fan, under 21 star Brandon McLean and Aden Nawaz of Beastwear who also managed our A W Green Shield team. Their professionalism along with Neale Anderson is clearly reflected in the program’s overall success. May I also formally welcome Sydney City Toyota as a sponsor for 2013-14 and I look forward to working with them.

Last year I mentioned the problem we, like other grade clubs, were having with finance and the struggle to balance our budget. With the support of our wonderful sponsors and some tough decisions taken by the management committee, the new approach implemented by our first-year Financial Controller James Tyson is beginning to pay off. James has been terrific and while we need to maintain the belt-tightening we are looking much healthier than might otherwise have been the case. Our CEO David Holland also had a leading role in ensuring we came out on the right side of the ledger this season further emphasising his value to the club in a demanding role. I personally would like to thank David for the great support he has provided me throughout the past 12 months.

And speaking of great support the club can be grateful for the outstanding contribution by David Bourke who joined the committee for the first time this year. He took on the role of Assistant CEO and along with his work with match reports and publicity was one of the busiest workers in the club. He was also involved with the website, facebook and twitter to bring us into the 21st century along with John McLoughlin (who developed the new website) and John Stewart who also does such an outstanding job with the museum. Our first female elected committee member Anyes McLean was also a tower of strength particularly with the playing gear and clothing. It’s no wonder she took out the Clubman of the Year award last season!

I think about my term in office as President of the club and am amazed that I have been in the role for 12 years. Realising just how long a term that is, I look at Alan and Peter Wright and see two outstanding workers for this club who have been involved for the same length of time! Chairman of Selectors is one of the most exacting roles in any club and to think Alan is the only person we have had carrying out that function is quite mindboggling. His involvement with the younger talent in the club, particularly in the Metro Cup sides along with that “cricket icon” Denis Hinds, has been one of our greatest assets. Peter has been our eyes and ears at Association level for the same length of time while providing legal advice when required. He also chairs the Randwick Petersham Cricket Foundation which provides the club with much needed financial security. We are fortunate to have such people at the management level of our club.

A settled administration has been one of the great reasons for our success since we came into being. And like Alan and Peter we have a number of other long-termers still having a major input into the club through their management committee roles such as David Townsend, Chris Sullivan, Nigil Singh, Neale Anderson, Peter Devlin and Bill Anderson. David has been a real tower of strength in our junior development program over the years while Nigil has teamed up with Chris to ensure we have a social calendar second-to-none. An example was this season’s President’s Lunch which not only attracted a fantastic roll-up but there was a bit of history making in the process with our guest stars. How many gigs could claim a line-up with Michael Holding, Brian Lara, and Joel “Big Bird” Garner together on the same card! What an event. Absolutely sensational!

A major contributor towards the arrangements for that function was Neale Anderson and the fact he was subsequently voted Clubman of the Year in the non-player category is testimony for the amazing job he did with this and with our highly successful sponsorship program. He has been an invaluable member of our management committee just as Bill Anderson and Peter Devlin have been with the coaching program and the club’s player retention and acquisition plans. Their involvement on match days has been phenomenal and provides great support and comfort to players, officials and visiting teams alike.

And a big mention to Grant Rimmer, a long-term player who this season hit some personal milestones with his bowling as well as producing the best figures of the season with 7 for 30 in 4th Grade. But what I particularly want to mention was his work as Club Coaching Co-ordinator and in his roles of Club Captain and Chairman of the Leadership Group. A wonderful contribution by an outstanding clubman. Thank you Grant!

In terms of player behaviour I am delighted to report that we had no incidents of the type which have caused us a bit of heartache in recent seasons. The ideals of trust, respect and humility which I have been pushing ever since I climbed into the President’s chair have been recognised by all players, officials and supporters and there have been no “hiccups”. Indeed, in the SCA Spirit of Cricket all-grades points table we finished second to Sydney University—8.25 to 8.257! In 1st Grade we actually finished on top while we were second in 2nd, 4th and 5th grades. A wonderful endorsement of Adam Semple’s captaincy in his first year and that of our lower grade skippers. In the 1st Grade clash with Sutherland both Adam and Phil Jaques were awarded maximum Spirit of Cricket points. A fantastic outcome and a result which all players and officials should feel justifiably proud. Long may it continue.

8 And talking about point scores, what a great effort for Coogee Oval to be rated fourth on the 1st Grade assessments with 200.70 points, a smidgin behind Fairfield-Liverpool’s Rosedale Oval which scored 204.50. And to top it off, Kensington also rated fourth in the lower ground assessments. We are still troubled by the state of Petersham Oval and representations to Marrickville Oval are continuing in an endeavour to get the ground back to its original splendour. It is my earnest wish and hope that we get to see some 1st Grade cricket back on that picturesque ground as soon as possible and through the fantastic work that Wayne Mulherin has done in liaising with Marrickville Council I believe that should happen sooner than later. Many thanks Mully for your tireless efforts. We are also grateful to Green Options for their terrific work in maintaining our grounds and the training facilities at Snape Park at such a high standard. Many thanks also to David Bourke who looked after our ground bookings.

Our Randwick Petersham Cricket museum continues to develop and through the enthusiasm of curator John Stewart a number of interesting displays were there for all to see this season. We had a great roll-up to our Ladies and Legends Day last November while the Chegwyn display attracted Geoff and Ray Chegwyn, the sons of the immortal Jack Chegwyn, along with their families. We also had a number of former players return to Coogee Oval for the day which is what the existence of the museum is designed to do along with our formal support group the Randwick Petersham Cricket Legends Society. The more former players and officials we can get involved with the club the better. It’s a memorabilia thing and former players just love to talk of the old times! It was a great day combined with a 1st Grade and Poidevin-Gray Twenty20 match under the promotion banner of the McGrath Foundation. Coogee Oval was a sea of pink throughout the day and it was very comforting that we could present the McGrath Foundation with a sizeable cheque from donations received.

Our volunteers are our lifeblood. I rave about the sensational work they do for the club each year and this is no exception. Without our fantastic band of helpers we would be down the gurgler. We couldn’t operate. There are so many aspects of this club in getting it working as well as it does. Each volunteer, no matter how small the contribution or effort may be, ensures the club operates smoothly. We want that to continue and continue it will so long as we have this wonderful group of dedicated people behind us. Amid many important functions one of the most visible volunteer roles is the staffing of our canteens on match days. And how lucky we are to have people such as Robin Gardner, Sue Otto, Faye Semple, Julie Kennedy and others behind the counters! I hate to think what we would do without them. Their continued presence symbolises our great strength.

Our coaching staff continue to do a great job and Grant Rimmer has outlined the outstanding contribution by all concerned in his informative report which appears elsewhere in this annual report. And speaking of the annual report we have again been well served in that regard by my long-term mate and club historian Lyall Gardner along with John Stewart who looks after the stats. Ray Stafford is never far away and his on-going contribution to the records of the club is also greatly appreciated.

While documents such as our annual report are invaluable in recording the history of the club as it evolves, the modern day methods of instant communication have not been overlooked through a new-look website with expanded content while we are now into facebook and twitter as a means of ensuring our supporters are never short of cricket scores and information. John McLoughlin has been simply brilliant in designing the new website and maintaining its content. It’s a different world to my time in the field and I can’t help but think how fantastic it would be as a player to have access to the variety of valuable information so quickly available in these modern times. It’s a fast moving world but you gotta love it!

It is a sad fact of life that each year we mention the loss of people who have held a special place in our hearts and in the heart of our club. This year we lost three gentlemen who were “legends” in their own right in the passing of John Letson, Len Cartwright and Bill Knowles. Being former Randwick players I had a personal connection with each of them. I know I speak for everyone who knew them that while this club and the world of cricket is the poorer for their passing it is much the richer for their involvement with the great game.

In conclusion I would like to thank one and all for their support, dedication, loyalty and hard work throughout the past 12 years. It has been a wonderful and exciting journey and I feel it will only get better. The opportunity presented to our young players this season will show just how much they have developed when they take the field next season. We have a huge talent base within our playing ranks which can only bring good things for Randwick Petersham Cricket in the years ahead. And we are off to a flyer already with the news that local Matraville boy and Test opening bat has agreed to join us next summer. He says he likes the way we operate and he’s keen to join us. I write this report in the depths of winter but with the prospect of David and Simon Katich striding to the wicket together at Coogee Oval, already my blood is boiling for the heat of the summer and the 2013-14 season. It is sure to be an exciting one and all I can say is –bring it on!

Michael Whitney President

9 REPORT OF THE MANAGEMENT COMMITTEE

In last year’s Annual Report, in commenting about the NSW Cricket commissioned independent review into , I made the following comment.

‘We have to date seen ourselves as a club that trains and plays hard, within the spirit of the game with the mantra of ‘trust, respect and humility’. We have a strong cohort of volunteers and supporters. We are passionate and motivated to see our new club – 11 years of age – do well and we have two club championship flags that are testimony to our success. We are proud of the history of our founding clubs – Randwick CC and Petersham Marrickville CC but realise that we are all now Randwick Petersham players, supporters and volunteers. We realise that we need to do more to continue our initial success which sees us wanting to be, on a regular basis, in the top four as measured by club championship points’.

In the 2012-13 season we have continued to develop the direction above and the Management Committee met on seven occasions to discuss the way forward. The Committee was boosted by the inclusion of both David Bourke as Assistant CEO, and James Tyson who took over the Financial Controller’s role. Both David and James have made tremendous contributions to the Committee this season. David not only undertook a Committee role but also managed our grounds, initiated club emails, helped manage the club database, assisted Lyall and John with the Annual Report and took on the captaincy of 4th Grade. Together with the commencement of family responsibilities David has had a big season. James has managed our finances extremely well and after a few financially tight seasons has got our finances into a much healthier position this season. They were joined at the meeting table by representatives from the Leadership Group and thanks should be extended to Grant Rimmer who heads up the Leadership Group, Brandon McLean, John McLoughlin and Nick Stapleton who contributed to discussions at meetings. We can be thankful for the stability, drive and hard work of the current Management Committee.

CLUB OPERATIONS - On the Club Operations front there were many changes. You will recall that we lost a number of senior players at the end of the 2011-12 season including one of the club’s favourite son’s Usman Khawaja to Queensland. Bill Anderson who heads up Club Operations recruited a number of new young players. The intent was to lay the foundation for a team that will be with us over the next decade. We welcomed to the club Jake Scicluna, Shaun Eaton, Jarryd Biviano, Soumil Chhibber, Shayne Smith, Dylan Smith and Daniel Sams. In addition we welcomed Cam Borgas who had previously played with the South Australian Sheffield Shield team. They have all settled and performed well with 1st Grade coming 4th in the 2 day Belvidere Cup competition, 5th in the limited overs competition and 14th in the T20 competition. This is a great result for 1st Grade given the young age of many of the players and given that many of the boys played in their first full season in the top grade.

Other grades had mixed fortunes. In the club championship points we came in 9th (up from the previous season’s 12th) with 2nd Grade doing well coming in 5th, 3rd Grade 13th, 4th Grade 8th, 5th Grade 15th, PG’s 9th and Green Shield 12th. In the Metro Cup RP Green was 7th while RP Gold was 12th.

Can I congratulate those selected for senior representative teams. In particular 1st Grade captain Adam Semple NSW 2nd X1, Nathan Price Futures League, Anthony Sams NSW 2nd X1, Simon Katich Perth Big Bash, Cam Borgas Sydney Thunder Big Bash, Soumil Chhibber and Jake Scicluna NSW U19.

May I also mention the huge input to the club by favourite and much loved son Simon Katich. He is a former West Australian and has been with the club for most of its history. In the 2003-04 season he became the Club’s first player to be selected to play both Test Cricket and One Day Cricket for Australia. In that season Simon went on to win the medal (NSW Player of the Season) and presented Usman Khawaja with his 1st Grade cap. In 2009-10 he won the Medal (Australian Test Player of the Year) and captained the NSW Sheffield Shield team. This season he played 7 games in 1st Grade scoring 450 runs at 56.25 – the best average in the club. For cricket aficionados who get significant enjoyment in watching a skilled craftsman at the crease he is a delight to watch. His cover drive and wristy clip off the pads through mid wicket are pure joy. The club salutes you Simon.

GROUNDS - The management of grounds is a huge responsibility. However our partnership with Randwick Council over the years has been a strong one and the standard of grounds at Coogee, Snape and Kensington has been well above average. This has been strengthened through our long association with Green Options who prepare both wickets and outfield. SCA ground ratings saw Coogee ranked 4th out of 22, Kenso 4th out of 39, Snape 26th out of 41.

Petersham Oval was host to a number of senior games this season. Both 2nd Grade and PG’s games were played as the standard of the wicket (prepared by Green Options) was good although the outfield, which was the responsibility of Marrickville Council, was poor and not up to Grade Cricket standard (it was a nightmare for batsmen with the outfield being far too slow). It was ranked a most disappointing 38th out of 39. Wayne Mulherin in the background held meetings with Council throughout 2012 which has resulted in a submission that we hope will be passed by Marrickville Council sometime in 2013. This submission will allow funding for the Club to employ Green Options to undertake pre-season wicket preparation and during-the-season preparation of both wicket and outfield. It is intended to play a number of senior fixtures at the ground including 1st Grade matches during the 2013-14 season.

10 SPONSORSHIP - The club’s finances during the 2012-13 season improved markedly mainly as a result of Neale Anderson’s efforts on the sponsorship front. Neale who deservedly took out the Clubman of the Year (non player) trophy this year as a result of his efforts has increased the sponsorship dollar by around $30k. Can I pay tribute to our sponsors who generously helped the club this season. They are Bendigo Bank (Clovelly Community Branch), Picketts Health, Petersham RSL, Toyota, Kingsgrove Sports, South Sydney Juniors, Canon, MSA (the safety company), Atlantis, Greg Chapple Cricket Centre, Flight Centre Coogee, Beastwear, Woodworm, Euphoria Sports Management, Anytime Fitness, Sydney City Roosters and Mike Whitney Promotions. Can I reiterate President Mike Whitney’s comments in this Annual Report and offer sincere thanks to James Wynn, Brandon McLean and Aden Nawaz who together with Neale helped with the sponsorship effort.

CLOTHING – Anyes McLean has for a few seasons now done a great job in managing the clothing requirement of the club. It’s not an easy job. Liaising with Neale Anderson to ensure sponsors logos are placed appropriately, dealing with suppliers and making sure the gear arrives on time - all to a budget that James Tyson sets. It’s not easy. She in addition parents two tremendous cricket playing sons, Brandon and Hayden who themselves contribute significantly to the club. But our gear has never looked so good and to Anyes, the club’s first female Management Committee representative, for her continued and significant efforts, the club extends its most grateful thanks.

A SALUTE - Can I pay tribute to a player who has been with us for more than a few years who demonstrates the diverse nature of cricket. Jeremy Jastrzab is a first generation cricketer from a migrant family where cricket was a complete unknown and sport was not seen as a priority. Denis Hinds got Jeremy into cricket some years ago and he has been a stalwart of the sixth grade teams ever since. He has also involved himself with scoring and umpiring. Jeremy is off to Canada shortly to do a Master in Economics at the University of British Columbia and he plans to continue his cricket while he is there. All good wishes Jeremy – we will miss you.

FINALLY - May I pay tribute to the host of Dad’s who every weekend take their sons to games and often end up scoring or helping in some other capacity. These are extra-ordinary blokes – some are quiet and some not, but who, like me, get very significant pleasure in watching our boys play cricket and occasionally doing well. To all the Dad’s - the club extends its most sincere thanks.

Last but not least, thankyou to all supporters and volunteers who give up their time and effort to enjoy and contribute to a great club.

David Holland CEO

11 Sponsorship and Donations

Season 2012-13 was an exciting one of sponsorship for the club with the addition of some important new sponsors. Bendigo Bank (Clovelly Community Branch) joined us as a major sponsor, as did personal hygiene products company Picketts Health. They were joined by Flight Centre Coogee, MSA (the safety company), Canon and Greg Chapple Cricket Centre, Beastwear, Woodworm, ESM sports management company, Anytime Fitness and Sydney City Roosters.

Thank you to all our sponsors and donors for your support. Your funds allow us to provide vital facilities and programs such as Junior Development, the RPCC Academy, coaching, clothing, player awards and pay operational expenses. Most of our sponsors have been with us for many years, while some are new. All are vitally important to our success and future.

In turn we aim to recognise their support by giving back what we can in terms of business and referrals while helping develop their businesses through use of their facilities, expertise and products. Their contact details are located elsewhere in this report and we implore all club members, supporters and Legends to support our sponsors and donors.

This year we had two new innovations – the Canon photographic competition for the best cricket related photos. With over 100 entries it was a hard choice to pick the three winners – thanks Canon. Also, via our new sponsors at Flight Centre Coogee, we had awards for those club members who sent their business to the sponsors.

Like any successful effort it was the result of a team effort. My and the clubs’ special thanks go to James Wynn, Aden Nawaz, Brandon McLean, Will Passas, David Bourke, John McLoughlin, John Stewart and President Mike Whitney – all gave generously of their time to create and convert sponsorship opportunities.

Watch out in 2013-14 as we go on the social media offensive to promote our sponsors!

These are the sponsors and donors of Randwick Petersham Cricket for season 2012-13:

Picketts Health is an Australian personal hand hygiene company with a great innovative product they hope to dominate global sales with. Although a start up company, founder Jeremy Pyers is a passionate cricket fan and we hope they continue our relationship in ‘13-14.

Continues to be a Major Sponsor of RPCC. The Club provides financial support to our Junior Development Program and modern social facilities at the RSL Club. Thanks Peto RSL!

Who said bankers don’t have a heart? Bendigo Bank – Clovelly Community Branch joined us this season as a major sponsor and have been a delight to work with. The RPCC Foundation now banks with them as do several club members and businesses. If ever there was a cause to support it’s sending your business to banks like this who connect with their community and don’t just pay lip service to the notion. At the time of writing their Board has agreed to continue to sponsor the club in ‘13-14. Bravo!

Special thanks to Harry Solomons and the team at KSC. Harry is renowned for his generosity and assisted the club with a substantial cash sponsorship this season and the provision of memorabilia for the President’s Luncheon. KSC have been with us many years and we hope they continue with our relationship.

MSA is THE safety company. A major global player in the manufacture of Safety Products, Gas and Flame Detection, Head Protection, Fall Protection, Respiratory Protection, Eye/Face/Hearing Protection, Thermal Imaging Cameras. Can’t get more comprehensive than that. John Spokes is the man to speak to there. 12

Flight Centre Coogee joined the Randy Petes family this season. Manager Todd and his team have already donated prizes for the Support the Sponsors Competition. Great service at Flight Centre for all your holiday needs. Don’t go anywhere else. And hassle free.

Greg Chapple Cricket centre – famous name and all the famous products to do with cricket – bats, balls, gloves, pads clothing, hats, helmets – everything!

Beastwear has been a contributor to the club in so many ways. Owner Aden has organized signage at Coogee and Snape ovals, helped sign up new sponsors, provided clothing and been an active member of the club. Beastwear manufactures cutting edge technically superior sports garments

Everyone knows the great brand of Canon. They came on board as a sponsor this season and provided cameras for fund raising and sponsored the Canon cricket photographic competition. Mike Whitney spoke at their national sales manager’s function.

Souths Juniors has been with us many years and is a key sponsor of the junior development program in our local community. Their support allows us to send coaches into schools and junior associations, and to help young cricketers become the best they can be.

Dave Trodden has always been a supporter of the Petes’ and continues to help the Randy Petes. His donation of the Tigers package for our President’s Luncheon is an example of his generosity. The place to go for legal services.

Mike Whitney is both an outstanding President and sponsor. Mike MC’s corporate events such as strategy days and marketing and fundraising events.

Alan is on Committee and also Chairman of Selectors. Although both roles are voluntary and take a huge amount of time Alan also gives as a sponsor.

Anthony Woodward from accounting firm B P Woodward and Associates has been a long term supporter of the club. For all your personal and business accounting needs.

Denis Hinds from C E Chapman Lawyers is the effervescent skipper of the Metro Cup team, a life member and long time supporter of the club.

13

Cartwright Insurance Brokers have been sponsors of Randwick and now the Randy Pete’s for many moons. The first call for your business insurance needs.

James Wynn’s 2 companies – Euphoria and his professional advisory firm have continued their strong involvement with Randwick Petersham this season. Last season he managed Monty Panesar’s time with the club and is greatly involved in supporting the development of up and coming players through the Randwick Petersham Academy as well as his efforts on the sponsorship sub-committee. www.euphoriamg.com www.jwiadvisory.com

Bleed Purple! Is what Anytime Fitness says. 269 clubs in Australia. Over 1 million members choose Anytime Fitness. Why? Because it's convenient, affordable, and fun. And with 24/7 access to thousands of our clubs around the globe, you can work-out on your terms. Fitness has never been so easy.

Woodworm – great sports clothing lines, including cricket and golf gear, golf equipment, accessories etc etc at Woodworm – great prices – shop on line or in store.

Personal trainer to many club members Daniel Sams will take you through your paces, and then some.

During recent years, Atlantis has evolved from being Australia’s premier commercial relocation company to also being a major provider of corporate real estate and project management services to a wide variety of clients including NSW Police, Telstra, Lend Lease etc.

For the Randy Pete’s Atlantis helped organise one of the most memorable President’s Luncheons in November 2012. With 3 great West Indian legends on the stage and Jeff Thomson it was a memorable day.

Sydney Roosters need no introduction. Joined us this year and their support helps us run the junior development program. Upsets the bunny loving President though. Thanks Roosters.

Thank you all! We greatly appreciate your support in making the Randy Petes a successful, well managed, well respected club that is a contributor to its community and its youth.

Highest Score: • Chasing 282 to win off 50 overs, all-rounder Daniel Sams was at his best in the Poidevin-Gray match against Bankstown at Bankstown Oval breaking the club’s PG highest score record with 143 . He faced just 112 balls in his spectacular innings which included 10 fours and 9 mighty sixes just one short of Simon Katich’s record of 10 sixes against St George in 2007-08. Nick Stapleton set the previous PG highest score when he hit 110 not out in 2011-12. Highest Team Score: • In round 2 of the A W Green Shield competition against Easts our boys hit a record score of 4-296 to win by 183 runs. The previous record was 4-264 against University of NSW in 2004-05. The highest score in that total was 84 not out by skipper Henry Thornton. Lowest team score: • Sent in to bat against Bankstown in gloomy conditions at Coogee Oval after overnight rain only 3 players made double figures in 1st Grade’s lowest ever score of 55. The match was saved from an outright defeat when Simon Katich hit 137 in the second innings. The previous record lowest score was 56 against Campbelltown at Raby Oval in 2007-08 before the side went on to win outright. • Just 14 days after setting a new low score record of 55, 1st Grade re-wrote the record books with a new mark of just 49. Conditions were similar to the previous match when Penrith won the toss and sent RPC in to bat after overnight storms. Only Simon Katich (19) made double figures. Trailing by 191, the second innings total of 210 was not enough to avoid an outright loss by 9 wickets. • Just 56 days after setting a new low score of 49, 1st Grade re-wrote the record books with a new mark of just 45. On a sporty Village Green wicket tempered by heatwave conditions University of NSW won the toss and sent RPC into bat. Only Daniel Sams (18) made double figures. Trailing by 81, the second innings gave some hope at 0-50 but when both Anthony Sams (28) and Nick Stapleton (17) went at that score the side went on to lose 8 for 21 with Nathan Price and Andrew Williams both injured and not batting for the team to be all out for 71. Chris Tremain for Uni. took 10-41 in the match. The result was an outright loss by an innings and 10 runs. Highest Partnerships: • Nick Stapleton (50) and Brandon McLean (40) set a new 5th wicket Poidevin-Gray partnership record when they put on 94 against St George at Hurstville. They took the score from 4-23 to 5-117 but the side crashed to be all out for 155 chasing Saints 4-230. The previous record was 92 against University of NSW held by Campbell Dash and Will Passas since 2007-08. • Savio Gracias Flor (64) and Ravin De Silva (72) put on 137 for the opening partnership in the A W Green Shield match against Eastern Suburbs to break the previous record of 134 set by Campbell Dash and Sean Gardner against University of NSW in 2004-05. • At 3-20 Tom Evans joined his captain Henry Thornton at Petersham Oval against St George in the A W Green Shield clash. When Thornton fell for 92 the score had climbed to 4-159 with the pair setting a new 4th wicket partnership record of 139 for the club passing the 79 put on by Adam Childs and Jason Gray in 2009-10 against the same opponents, St George. The excellent batting paved the way for a good win. Best Bowling: • Pace bowler Grant Rimmer took 7-30 against Gordon in 4th Grade in round 9. It was his second-best performance behind his 8-111 against Sydney University in 3rd Grade in 2010-11. It was also the second-best bowling performance for the club in 4th Grade behind Chris Singh’s 7-24 against Sydney University in 2004-05. • Tom Evans was brought on to bowl against Easts in the A W Green Shield match at Waverley Oval with immediate success. The young off-spinner had the Easts no. 5 adjudged lbw, clean bowled the new batsman first ball then rapped the next man in on the pads to have the umpire raise his finger for Evans to complete a hat-trick! It was the 14th hat-trick for the club and the first in A W Green Shield since Shahzad Ali took one also against Easts over 11 years ago in January 2002. The Easts score slumped from 5-80 to 8-80 before they were out for 113 giving RPC a comprehensive victory by 183 runs. Evans finished with 5-37 off 9.3 overs. It was only the 9th time a bowler had taken 5 wickets in an innings for Randwick Petersham in A W Green Shield. Worthy of Mention • Chasing 225 for victory against Parramatta at Coogee Oval in round 2, our 1st graders found themselves at 5 for 74 when fast bowler Daniel Sams, playing in just his third match for the club, joined Nathan Price. Together they put on 113 to take the score to 6-187 when Sams was dismissed for a breezy 59 off just 71 balls with 4 fours and 4 sixes. It set the scene for Price to go on and achieve his second 1st Grade century with an unconquered 101 and record a fine 4 wickets win for the team. At the end Price was accompanied by debutante Shaun Eaton who faced 33 balls in scoring 13 of the 40 runs the partnership needed for the win. While the 113 was a long way short of the record of 235 set in 2011-12 it couldn’t have come at a better time. • In the Poidevin-Gray match against Bankstown at Bankstown Oval Daniel Sams (143* off 112 balls with 10 fours and 9 sixes) and Shaun Eaton (66 off 49 with 4 fours and 5 sixes) put on 148 for the 4th wicket to set the team up for a good win chasing down 282 in just 43.2 overs. The partnership was 22 short of the club record set by Matthew Taylor and Paul Greentree who scored 170 against Balmain in 2004-05. • In round 6 against North Sydney at 1st Grade were in trouble at 4-51 chasing 186. Debutante Andrew Williams came to the wicket joining former Test batsman Simon Katich and the pair put on 136 for the 5th wicket in just 114 minutes to win the match. Andrew hit 4 boundaries and a six from 91 balls in an impressive debut of 49 not out while Katich (104*) hit his 6th ton for the club. The partnership was well short of the record of 232 set by Adam Coyte and Adam Semple in 2010-11. • Playing his second match back from injury Anthony Sams (80) partnered Jake Scicluna (69) in just his 5th 1st Grade game to put on 145 for the opening partnership against Gordon at Coogee Oval. Their partnership was only 20 runs short of the 1st Grade record also against Gordon set by Joseph Hill and Paul Toole in 2002-03. • Captain Henry Thornton (84 not out) and Sam Wood (32 not out) put on 96 for the 5th wicket against Eastern Suburbs in the A W Green Shield competition. Their unconquered total was close to the record of 109 set by Ethan Grinham and Tom McCarthy against Sydney in 2010-11. • At just 19 years of age and in his first season in 2nd Grade Jarryd Biviano topped the SCA wicketkeeping dismissals for that grade with a total of 30 comprising 24 catches and 6 stumpings. He also played 7 games in 1st Grade where he effected 9 dismissals.

Administration When she was elected to the Randwick Petersham Management Committee at the 2012 Annual General Meeting, Anyes Mclean became the first woman to be elected to such a position with the club. Anyes is also only the second woman to be elected to any administrative position in the 255 playing seasons of the club and its founding clubs after Ruth Kelleher who served a season as Randwick secretary in 1996-97.

17 The 2012-13 Grade Season in Summary

Round 1 v Northern District (2 Day matches) Sats. 22-29 Sept 2012 1st Grade: won by 29 runs @ —255 to 226: At 5-126 in good conditions we were doing it tough until new skipper Adam Semple hit 72 to get back on track. At 8-175 it was fast bowler Daniel Sams who hit a career best 1st Grade 72 to help post a good target. In reply ND’s were doing it easy at 3-180 before 17 years old off-spinner Soumil Chhibber trapped former NSW star Dominic Thornley in front for 71. Nathan Price then chipped in with a 5-7 spell to finish with 5-25 along with Jake Wilson (2-27) and Chhibber (2-58) to take the points. Chhibber, Sams, Cameron Borgas and Brandon McLean made their RP debuts with Chhibber and McLean also making their 1st Grade debuts. 2nd Grade: won by 29 runs @ Coogee—269 to 240: Dylan Smith on RP debut hit a great 62 supported by fellow RP debutantes Jake Scicluna (35), Shaun Eaton (28) and Ben Marciante (34). With Alex Sciascia (39) and Andrew Williams (36) adding the extras it was enough to get home after they were 5-196. Wickets were shared with Rod Stafford and Shaun Eaton taking 3 each. 3rd Grade: drawn @ Asquith—0-0 to 8-215: Tight bowling by Gabe Budwee (2-35), Nathan Ellis (2-57) and Mitchell Jones (2-39) made ND’s struggle for runs in perfect batting conditions. A Friday night storm prior to day 2 blew off the covers and washed out play on day 2. 4th Grade: drawn @ Petersham—9-244 dec. to 9-208: Duncan Hunt (47) and Chris Singh (97) ensured a great start and while the innings fell away from 1-151 to 9-244 a solid target had been set. In reply it looked all over for ND’s at 9-153 but the last two batted for 20 overs and put on 53 to force a draw. Chris Singh (3-12) and Henry Thornton (2-23) did best amongst 8 bowlers with Daniel Laus bowling 22 overs for 2-65. A very disappointing outcome when the points looked in the bag! 5th Grade: won by 155 runs @ Storey Park—282 to 127: Green Shield player Tom Evans began in scintillating fashion with 64 and 5-18 to ensure a decisive win. Other RP debutantes Donal Vaughan (55) and Mitchell Wickham (46) gave the side a great start. Cam Fowler with 3- 28 finished off well.

Round 2 v Parramatta (2 Day matches) Sats. 6 &13 Oct 2012 1st Grade: won by 4 wkts @ Coogee—6-227 to 224: Only 30 overs were possible on a rain-soaked first day with Parra 3-71. Good bowling day 2 saw the score slump to 7-155 before a rally to 224. Jake Wilson (3-40); Daniel Sams (2-63) and Nathan Price (2-47) did best with the ball. In reply RPC struggled to 5-74 before Daniel Sams (59 off 71 balls with 4 sixes) joined Nathan Price and the pair put on 113 for the 6th wicket. Debutante no. 84 Shaun Eaton stayed with Price (101*) while they got the remaining 38 runs for a good win. 2nd Grade: won by 6 wkts @ Old Kings—4-137 dec & 5-154 to 121 & 7-233 dec: Sending in the Eels on a damp pitch proved successful with Ben Marciante (5-21 off 12), Dylan Smith (3-28) and Gabe Budwee (2-21) having a field day. Jake Scicluna (54) and Shayne Smith (42) grabbed the points and Parra were sent in again. Set 215 to win outright RPC was 5-154 after 33 overs with Shayne Smith (54) best. 3rd Grade: lost outright by inns and 29 runs @ Petersham—106 & 74 to 6-209 dec: This was 3rd Grade’s greatest ever loss despite having never lost to Parramatta before. Batting first in poor conditions we only lasted 40 overs with Jordan Magro best with 28. In the second dig only Ben Stares (18) and Mark Rice (13) made double figures. Nick Saady did best with the ball with 2 wickets. 4th Grade: drawn @ Merrylands—7-268 to 0-0: Heavy rain on the Friday made the ground unfit for play day 2 after David Bourke (71); Oshanka Perera (65); Matt Hilder (61) and Kushaal Ram (40) had scored well day 1. The 7th wicket partnership of 110 between Hilder and Perera was just 5 runs short of the 4th Grade record established by Hilder and Nick Stapleton in 2010-11. 5th Grade: drawn @ Kensington—9-148 to 254: No play day 1 due to rain. Parra were sent in but responded well with Jason McLean (3- 41); Jaya Murdita (3-33) and Nathan Stares (2-56) best of the bowlers. In reply only Tom Evans (35) and Mitchell Selwood (41) offered any resistance although Nathan Stares faced 63 balls for just 8 runs to prevent a loss with the last man in.

Round 3 v Wests (2 Day matches) Sats. 20 & 27 Oct 2012 1st Grade: won by 2 wkts @ Pratten—8-245 to 9-242 dec: At 7-140 it looked all over for Wests before a fight-back put on 102 for the next 2 wickets. In reply, newly capped Jake Scicluna went for a duck but John McLoughlin (53 in 165 mins) showed plenty of resolve allowing Nathan Price (60 off 55 balls) and Adam Semple (72 off 83) to get the innings on course for a third straight win. Daniel Sams (3-30 off 20 overs), Semple (3-56 off 21) and Soumil Chhibber (2-57 off 24) were best of the bowlers while Shaun Eaton (1-18) picked up his first 1st Grade wicket. 2nd Grade: lost by 7 wkts @ Petersham—290 to 3-293: Alex Williams (79) and Shayne Smith (70) set the scene for a big score but in perfect batting conditions on day 2 Wests ran it down for the loss of just 3 wickets with 4 players posting half-centuries. 3rd Grade: drawn @ Blick—8-310 to 9-355 dec: An excellent run chase saw a good draw with Matt Hilder (74), Ben Stares (58), Barton Lynch (35), Nick Saady (39) and Nathan Ellis batting at 9 scoring 33* all contributing well. Nigil Singh took 5-95 off 22 overs with the ball while Daniel Laus returned 3-90 off 20. 4th Grade: lost by 7 wkts @ Coogee—151 to 3-153: Poor batting on a perfect pitch never gave us a hope with Donal Vaughan (22) and Kushaal Ram (32) the only batsmen showing any form. David Molan (2-50) and Grant Rimmer (1-22) took the only 3 wickets to fall. 5th Grade: lost by 6 wkts @ Punchbowl—239 to 4-245: A good batting display with Andrew Sprowls (25), Mitch Selwood (50) and Jaya Murdita (25) all in the runs. But in perfect conditions Wests ran the competitive total down easily. Selwood’s 1-14 off 11 overs was the best.

Round 4 v Bankstown (2 Day matches) Sats. 3 & 10 Nov 2012 1st Grade: lost by 101 runs @ Coogee—55 & 237 to 156 & 6-94: Sent in to bat in gloomy conditions after overnight rain only 3 players made double figures in the team’s lowest ever score. At 1-76 Bankstown was doing it well until Adam Semple (4-24) and Jake Wilson (3-27) hit their hopples to take the last 9 wickets for 80. At 4-56 in reply RPC was struggling at the end of day 1 but the following week it was all Simon Katich who hit his 5th century for the club with 137 off 224 balls with 21 fours to give his side a sniff. 18 years old debutante Jaddyn Biviano hit 46 in an 87 run partnership with Katich. In the outright run chase the Bulldogs were struggling at 6-94 after 28 overs when stumps were called. 2nd Grade: lost by 1 wkt @ Bankstown—245 to 249: At 4-32 then 5-93 on day 1 batting was a struggle until Shaun Eaton (80), Brandon McLean (51), Ben Marciante (32) and Karl Schubert (30*) put some respectability into the score. McLean (4-33) had them battling at 4-107 at stumps on day 1. On day 2 it looked all over at 9-214 but a last wicket partnership of 35 enabled the Dogs to take the win. Brandon McLean (4- 61), Ben Marciante (3-54) and Shayne Smith (3-60) shared the wickets.

18 3rd Grade: lost by 6 wkts @ Petersham—8-192 dec to 6-194: Sent in to bat we were doing it easy at 2-81 but a steady flow of wickets thereafter meant the momentum was lost. Duncan Hunt (37), Andy Coles (41) did well early with Dylan Smith (64) finishing off. In reply the Dogs were coasting at 1-112 and despite losing a few wickets won comfortably. Hayden McLean (2-31) and Nathan Ellis (2-35) bowled well. 4th Grade: won by 8 wkts @ Jensen—7-266 dec to 145 & 7-141: Early inroads by Nick Charlwood (4-66) and accurate bowling from Nigil Singh who brought up his 300th wicket for the club with 2-24 off 12 overs ensured a gettable target. With Chris Singh (74) opening the innings the total was passed just 2 down before Kushaal Ram (72) and Tom Holland (53*) set up a lead in an attempt at an outright. 5th Grade: lost by 88 runs @ Kensington—122 & 4-51 to 210 & 4-51 dec: An outstanding performance of 6-32 off 19-2 overs by David Molan wasn’t enough to stop Bankstown posting a competitive total. In response only Andrew Sprowls with 36 showed any great fight in a disappointing batting effort. Attempts to force an outright result by both teams were well off the mark.

Round 5 v Penrith (2 Day matches) Sats. 17 & 24 Nov 2012 1st Grade: lost outright by 9 wkts @ Coogee—49 & 210 to 4-240 dec & 1-20: For the second successive match we were sent in on a dicey wicket after overnight storms. Our batsmen couldn’t cope with the ideal bowling conditions and went down for an all-time low record score of 49. Only Simon Katich (19) made double figures. Trailling by 191 on the first innings, Katich (51), Adam Semple (62*), Soumil Chhibber (51) and Daniel Sams (20) were the only double-figure scorers in the team’s 7th outright loss in 12 seasons. Penrith’s Josh Lalor took 12 wkts. 2nd Grade: lost by 160 runs @ Howell—192 & 4-147 to 7-352 dec: Sent in to bat we were quickly in trouble at 6-55 before an 81 run partnership between Andrew Williams (72*) and skipper Rod Stafford (45) put some respectability into the score. A 136 opening partnership by the Panthers put the issue beyond doubt with Stafford (4-74) the best bowler. Williams followed up with 59* to complete a good double. 3rd Grade: lost by 12 runs @ Petersham—190 to 202: Sent in to bat Penrith were in trouble against the pace of James Tyson (4-29) and at 9-125 a small target looked likely. The last wicket however put on 77 to get the score to a competitive 202. In reply we were struggling at 5- 69 before a rear-guard action by young Nathan Ellis who smashed 69* to almost grab the points in an impressive display. 4th Grade: won by 4 wkts @ Bill Ball—6-178 to 177: Conditions were perfect day 2 after no play day 1. Penrith won the toss and batted but were reduced from 5-141 to 177 all out due to good bowling from Tom Evans (3-33), Raj Routray (3-42), Nigil Singh (2-21) and Grant Rimmer (2-28). Oshanka Perera (33) batted well but an unbroken partnership of 50 between Tom Holland (74*) and Evans (16*) did the job. 5th Grade: lost by 5 wkts @ Kensington—71 & 4-110 to 7-209 dec: At 4-12 the decision to bat first proved a wrong one with the side all out for 71 in 46 overs with Jason McLean’s 20 the best. The Panthers batted well in good conditions with Nathan Stares (3-47 off 18) impressive. In the second dig Connor Sykes-Morrison did well with 48.

Round 6 v North Sydney (Limited Overs) Sat. 1 Dec 2012 1st Grade: won by 6 wkts @ North Sydney—4-187 to 186: Refer Limited Overs report for details. 2nd Grade: lost by 18 runs @ Coogee—177 to 7-195: Sending Norths in to bat seemed a good decision at 3-62 and the end target of 195 appeared well within reach. In the run chase however, only Will Passas with 49 and Dylan Smith with 45 showed any resolve to put on 63 for the sixth wicket after we were 5-72. Smith was also best of the bowlers with 2-40. 3rd Grade: lost by 1 wkt @ Bon Andrews—7-174 to 9-175: It was left to the bowlers Nick Charlwood (40) and young Nathan Ellis (49*) to put some respectability in to the score after being sent in to bat and crashing to 5-47 then 6-91. In North’s innings it looked all over when they slumped to 9-141 but a fighting last wicket unconquered partnership of 34 saw the points slip away from our grasp with 4 balls remaining. Nathan Ellis capped a good double with 3-23 while Charlwood also did well with 2-36. 4th Grade: lost by 61 runs @ Petersham—157 to 9-218: Being sent in proved little difficulty to Norths as they were 1-98 early in the piece. Regular wickets fell but still, a competitive target of 218 was set. Mitchell Jones’ 4-44 was a fine effort. However in reply only Donal Vaughan (40) showed any fight when the last 6 wickets were lost for 43 after we were 4-114 and looking a real chance. 5th Grade: lost by 100 runs @ Tunks—160 to 9-260: Like 4th Grade being sent in, the pitch had few demons for Norths as they rattled up a huge score in 5th Grade limited overs cricket. We were always behind the 8 ball and were soundly beaten by 100 runs. Nathan Stares with 42* batted solidly.

Round 7 v Manly (Limited Overs) Sat. 8 Dec 2012 1st Grade: lost by 182 runs @ Manly—136 to 5-317: Refer Limited Overs report for details. 2nd Grade: lost by 4 wkts @ Coogee--9-201 to 6-202: Batting first we were soon in trouble at 3-5 before a 103 partnership between John McLoughlin (33) and Ben Marciante (80 off 104 balls) rescued the slide. Nathan Ellis in his first 2nd Grade game did well with 29* but the final score didn’t look enough. And so it proved to be with Manly getting up with 7 balls to spare. Brandon McLean (3-32 off 10) tried hard. 3rd Grade: won by 6 wkts @ Graham—4-176 to 9-175: Manly won the toss and batted but were in trouble against a spirited attack determined to put first points on the board. The run chase was well served by Alex Sciascia (59), Barton Lynch (49) and Ben Stares (43*) to register the team’s first win of the season. Nick Charlwood (3-47), Morgan Clune (2-20) and Mitchell Jones (2-29) did best of the bowlers. 4th Grade: won by 22 runs @ Petersham—98 to 76: After being 0-41, only Donal Vaughan (25) and Tom Holland (24*) offered any real resistance in a disappointing batting display to be out for less than 100 in just 37.5 overs. However, the boys were far from done with Raj Routray (1-19) and spinner Gary Kidd (2-21) making early inroads. At 3-46 15 years old Green Shield captain Henry Thornton showing maturity and skill beyond his years then proceeded to rip through the Manly middle order with a high class display of quick bowling picking up the amazing figures of 5-9 from 6 overs to see Manly amazingly slump to 9-59 after being 1-34. Chris Singh (2-6) cleaned up for a huge win. 5th Grade: won by 29 runs @ Mike Pawley—9-214 to 185: Sent in to bat, Andrew Sprowls (37) and Nathan Stares (39) contributed at the top of the order while Connor Sykes-Morrison (37) and Adam Docos (33) were handy in the middle order. In reply Manly got off to a solid start until the introduction of spin saw wickets fall. Tom Evans (3 - 27 from 10 overs) continued his great season, but the star was Nathan Stares who picked up 5-41 from 10 overs in a display of quality off-spin bowling to snare the points.

19 Round 8 v Hawkesbury (Limited Overs) Sat. 15 Dec 2012 1st Grade: won by 5 wkts @ Coogee—5-76 to 75: Refer Limited Overs report for details. 2nd Grade: won by 44 runs @ Owen Earle—151 to 107: Batting first, wickets tumbled with the score 7-50 against a side which hadn’t won a game. A rear-guard action by Rod Stafford (34), Brandon McLean (36*) and Jarryd Biviano (27) posted a competitive total. In response Jordon Magro (4-46), Shaun Eaton (2-19) and McLean (4-17) ensured there were no slip-ups and never gave the Hawks bats a chance. 3rd Grade: lost by 2 wkts @ Petersham—80 to 8-81: Electing to bat first no batsman got going in a tally of just 80. In reply the Hawks were doing it well at 2-54 but when spinner Mitchell Jones (4-14) struck supported by Nick Charlwood (2-14) and Hayden McLean (2-20) RPC was a chance at 7-69 before the tail eventually chased down the target. 4th Grade: won by 19 runs @ Benson Lane 2—6-263 to 8-244: Sent in to bat, Oshanka Perera (89*), Nick Saady (63) and skipper David Bourke (35) hit up a huge score for a limited overs team after being 4-74. However, the Hawks were not to be denied and gave it their best shot going down narrowly in a high-scoring game. The experience of Chris Singh (4-47) and Grant Rimmer (2-35) proved the difference. 5th Grade: won by 39 runs @ Kensington—171 to 132: Batting first and being bowled out in 43.3 overs put plenty of pressure on the side although 25 extras helped. Jason McLean (49) and Adam Docos (40) did best. However, our bowlers were up to the mark to knock them over in 42 .1 overs for a good win after they were 7-43. Liam Cole (2-15), Connor Sykes-Morrison (2-15) and Tom Evans (3-31) did the damage.

Round 9 v Gordon (Limited Overs) Sat. 22 Dec 2012 1st Grade: won by 23 runs @ Coogee—8-262 to 239: Refer Limited Overs report for details. 2nd Grade: won by 90 runs @ Killara—6-257 to 167: Batting first on a good pitch Will Passas strode to the wicket with the score 2-18. At the end of 50 overs he was still there on 106 off 136 balls with 11 fours. Shayne Smith (49) and Shaun Eaton (39) provided solid support in establishing a competitive score. In reply, James Tyson (3-40 off 10 overs) and Eaton (2-13 off 7) struck early to have The Stags 5-46. The tail wagged but it was all over in 37.2 overs with Tom Johnson (2-9 off 8 balls) cleaning up for a good win. 3rd Grade: won by 6 wkts @ Petersham—4-175 to 8-170: A wicket to Nick Charlwood (3-33) in the first over was the ideal start. Tight bowling saw wickets fall regularly with runs hard to get. The target of 171 was well below target and openers Charlwood (24) and Tom Holland (57) set the scene for Barton Lynch (39) and Morgan Clune (31) to cash in allowing Ben Stares and Nick Saady to steer the side home. 4th Grade: lost by 3 runs @ Beauchamp—88 to 91: Grant Rimmer produced a personal best of 7-30 off 10 overs to knock Gordon over for a paltry 91. He also brought up his 250 wickets in Grade Cricket in what was his 200th game. Raj Routray (2-51) provided good support and in the run chase it looked all over at 1-30. However, a loss of 7 for 27 saw the score slump to 8-57. Despite a late rally by Mitchell Wickham (10) and Routray (7*) it was all over when bowling hero Rimmer was lbw 3 runs short. This was a match which really got away. 5th Grade: lost by 5 wkts @ Kensington—8-198 to 5-200: Batting first Andrew Sprowls (47) and youngster Adam Docos (51*) were the pick of the RPC batsmen in compiling a competitive score. In reply the Gordon batsmen found the conditions much better as the wicket flattened out and despite the best efforts of the RPC bowling attack, were able to pass the total for the loss of 5 wickets.

Round 10 v Uni of NSW (2 Day Match 1st Grade / Limited Overs lower grades) Sat/ Sun 12 & 13 Jan 2013 1st Grade: lost outright by an innings and 10 runs @ Village Green—45 & 71 to 9-126 dec: Sent in on a sporty wicket on a day where Sydney was experiencing a heatwave, none of the batsmen could handle the fiery attack headed by State pace bowler Chris Tremain who quickly had us 6 for 19 with Nathan Price retired hurt. When the final wicket fell for 45 the team had registered a new low score record. Uni. didn’t have it all their own way with Jake Wilson (5-26) and Daniel Sams (3-26) reducing them to 4-24 before the target was passed 5 down. In the second dig, 0-42 at stumps day 1 and 0-50 early on day 2 signalled hopes of a fight-back. Not to be as we lost 8 for 21 with Price and Andrew Williams injured and not batting for the side to be all out for 71. Tremain took 10-41. It was one of the club’s worst losses. 2nd Grade: lost by 3 wkts @ Coogee—126 to 7-128: At 1-53 after winning the toss a competitive total looked assured. However the loss of John McLoughlin (18) triggered a collapse where 8 wickets fell for 50. It was only through 2nd Grade debutante and last-man out Barton Lynch (25) that any sort of a reasonable score was reached. In reply a 5-41 loss to have Uni. 6-89 gave our boys a sniff. However, it was former RPC 1st Grade capped player Glen Whichello with a top score (for both sides) of 28* which got his new club home. Rod Stafford took 3-15. 3rd Grade: lost by 5 wkts @ David Phillips North--141 to 5-145: At 3-104 with Ben Stares going well a good score was on the board. But when he went for 27 the remaining 6 fell for the addition of only 37. The first 3 Uni. wickets fell for 29 in the run chase but they settled down and passed the target in the 36th over with 5 wickets in the bank. Mitchell Jones with 2-21 was the best of the bowlers. 4th Grade: won by 8 wkts @ Petersham—2-81 to 79 (plus one bonus point): Uni. looked like taking full advantage from winning the toss at 0-33 but when Grant Rimmer (3-21 off 10 overs) took 2 quick wickets it started a collapse which saw the whole 10 wickets fall for 46 to total just 79. Gary Kidd took the final 4 wickets for 5 runs from 5 overs while Raj Routray did well with 2-36 off 10). Skipper David Bourke with 40* ensured a good win with a bonus point. 5th Grade: lost by 4 wkts @ David Phillips South—179 to 6-181: Having won our previous 9 matches against Uni. and with Uni. winless this season we looked certain to take our win sequence into double figures. Not to be even though at 4-153 we were heading for a good score. But when Nathan Stares (53) and skipper Jason McLean (53) both departed the last 6 wickets folded up for 37. Uni. had little trouble with the attack which comprised 8 bowlers with McLean’s 3-18 the best and ran down the target in a little over 38 overs.

20 Round 11 v Sydney Uni (2 Day Matches) Sats 19 & 26 Jan 2013 1st Grade: won by 1 run @ University 1—110 & 2-122 to 109: It was the match of the season—a replay of the 2012 Grand Final. Batting first all was well at 0-29. However, the dismissal of Jake Scicluna (10) and Nick Stapleton (18) started a collapse which quickly saw the score slump to 9-67. Returning from injury Nick Warren joined Jake Wilson and the pair put their heads down to get the score to 110 when Wilson went for 15 off 68 balls. Warren remained 27 * off 80. In reply our nemesis Scott Henry looked good until Warren had him lbw for 19 when the score was 31. That triggered an amazing collapse with the weather closing in. With Warren bagging 4 Uni. was 7-75 at stumps. Day 2 saw Warren (5-48) immediately pick up a wicket reducing the score to 8-75. A gritty partnership of 25 looked like getting the Premiers home until Scicluna affected a good run-out to have them 9-100. State player remained in control but with the score 9-109 skipper Adam Semple took the ball and bowled one of his best-ever off-cutters to hit the stumps of no. 11 Somerville for a win by the barest of margins. The second dig saw Semple capitalise scoring 54* with Will Passas 39* when stumps were called. 2nd Grade: won by 46 runs @ Coogee--212 &1-76 to 166: Sent in to bat we were looking OK at 3-97. But Alex Sciascia’s dismissal for 33 started a steady fall of wickets and we were soon 8-141 with Shayne Smith out for a well-compiled 62 off 62 balls. Skipper Rod Stafford (32 off 32) and Jordan Magro (53 off 87) then batted with great determination to post a competitive plus 200 score. At 0-73 Uni. were on track for a hollow victory until Magro and young Nathan Ellis struck taking 2 wickets each to have the students in trouble at 4-81 at stumps on day 1. Day 2 the score had progressed to 4-126 before batting heroes Smith and Stafford got together to knock the final 6 wickets over for another 40 to record a sensational win. Smith took 3-21 while Stafford’s 3-26 saw him pass 200 wickets in 2nd Grade and 300 for the club. 3rd Grade: won by 13 runs @ St Paul’s—212 to 199: With us reeling at 4-43 Uni’s decision to send us in looked like paying dividends. However, skipper Matt Hilder and David Bolton in just his second game with the club had other ideas and the pair put on 93 before Bolton went for 74. Hilder then batted magnificently with the tail to post 78* and see a decent score recoded. Uni. looked like they were coasting at 2-124 before Hayden McLean (2-55) struck for the second time. Mitchell Jones (3-50 off 17 overs) and Nigil Singh (3-20 off 13) then combined to blast away the students 13 short for a great win. 4th Grade: won by 4 wkts @ Petersham—6-175 to 173: Uni. won the toss and batted in perfect conditions. With wickets to Chris Singh (3-23), Grant Rimmer (1-32) and a run-out the students were struggling at 5-63. A partnership of 59 threatened to undo the good work before Gary Kidd chipped in with 4-31 to clean them up for a gettable target. At 5-93 then 6-106 we had it all to do until Oshanka Perera and Gary Kidd (32*) put on an unconquered 69 with Perera bringing up his 50* by hitting the winning runs. 5th Grade: lost outright after leading on 1st innings @ St Andrews—187 & 5-125 dec. to 138 & 3-178: Uni’s decision to send us in to bat looked a good move when we were 4-54. However good knocks by Tom McCarthy (37) and Scott Gray (46*) returning after 2 seasons got the score to a respectable 187. However at 3-43 in the run chase it was game on. Andrew Sprowls (4-18 off 12 overs) bowled beautifully and he was well backed up by Nathan Stares (2-25) and Anthony McGinness (1-10) to take the final 7 wickets for just 95 to grab first innings points. Sensing an outright victory Mitchell Wickham smashed 82* off 21 overs allowing the captain Jason McLean to set a target of 178 off 25 overs. The students went for it from the outset blasting more than 7 runs an over to get up for an outright win.

Round 12 v Mosman (2 Day Matches) Sats 2 & 9 Feb 2013 Only 1st Grade played day 1 due to overnight rain. All lower grades played a one-day match on day 2. 1st Grade: won by 6 wkts @ Coogee—8-245 dec. to 8-75 dec. & 2-181: A good toss to win on day 1 as this was one of only 2 matches in Sydney to get on following overnight rain. Sent in to bat Mosman was soon in trouble with Daniel Sams firing out the first 4 bats for just 25. When Jake Wilson chipped in with 3-20 and Sams (5-28) took another it looked like an early finish at 8-57. Some lusty hitting brought about a declaration at 8-75 to give the Whales some chance of exploiting the conditions with the ball. They were looking for a better outcome than our 2-31 at stumps. Day 2 brought brilliant sunshine and a thrill for Nick Stapleton who brought up his maiden 1st Grade century (103 off 197 balls with 11 fours and a six). Anthony Sams hit 56 and Ben Marciante 38*.The target was passed 4 down but in the second dig wickets were hard to come by in chasing an outright. 2nd Grade: won by 5 wkts @ Allan Border—5-144 to 142: Captain Rod Stafford (4-20), James Tyson (2-14 after being married earlier in the week) and Jordan Magro (2-24) shared the spoils in keeping Mosman to a gettable target. John McLoughlin (52) and Shayne Smith (38) combined well to run down the target with plenty to spare. 3rd Grade: drawn @ Petersham—9-146 to 9-171 dec. After being sent in to bat Mosman was looking good at 2-72 but 4 wickets to Morgan Clune (4-29) saw the score slump to 6-88. The lower order however defied the attack and it wasn’t until 72 of the 120 overs allocated for the day had been bowled that a declaration was made. With 48 overs to bat Andy Coles (30) and Nick Charlwood (62) put on 91 for the first wicket. However from 2-123 we lost 7 for 23 to just hold on for a draw when stumps were drawn. 4th Grade: won by 125 runs @ Rawson—4-245 dec. to 120 (plus one bonus point): Electing to bat first our top order were in rare form with Karl Schubert (59), Chris Singh (82) and captain David Bourke (60*) all notching half-centuries with Schubert and Singh putting on 100 for the first wicket. The Whales were never in the hunt against some excellent bowling from Raj Routray (3-35), Grant Rimmer (2-14) and Daniel Laus (2-43) with 6 wickets falling for just 58. The final 4 put on 62 before we had them out to win in 37 overs and grab a bonus point. 5th Grade: won by 3 wkts @ Kensington—7-183 to 181: Batting first Mosman was looking good at 3-98 after being 2-14. However good bowling from Green Shielder Connor Sykes-Morrison (5-29) with support from Rehaan Nawaz (2-14) and Marcus Bain (2-37) halted the flow to have them all out in 46 overs. Skipper Jason McLean (41) and Steve Stammers (33) led the charge to chase down the target in just 38 overs for an excellent win.

Round 13 v Campbelltown-Camden (2 Day Matches) Sats 16 & 23 Feb 2013 No play in any grade day 2 due to a widespread washout. 1st Grade: won by 5 wkts @ Raby 1—5-146 to 138: Sent in to bat the Ghosts were soon in trouble at 2-16 with an early run-out and a wicket to Daniel Sams. At 4-109 the batting was settling until the pace trio of Sams (3-31), Nick Warren (3-29) and Adam Semple (3-32) got together to knock the final 6 over for just 29 with the last 3 wickets falling for one run. The loss of Jake Scicluna for a duck didn’t create a problem with Will Passas (27), Shaun Eaton (21), Daniel Sams (20*) and opener Nick Stapleton 56* doing the business to achieve the target by stumps on day 1. It was a fortuitous outcome as only one other 1st Grade result was possible with all play washed out day 2. 2nd Grade: drawn @ Coogee—0-2 to 9-256 dec.: At 4-43 Campbelltown’s decision to bat first was looking shaky. However a 5th wicket partnership of 124 set them on their way to a competitive score. Nathan Ellis (3-53) and Jordan Magro (3-47) did best before the rains came.

21 3rd Grade: drawn @ Raby 2—3-111 to 155: The washout came at the wrong time for 3rds which was on the verge of a good win after day 1. Campbelltown struggled from the outset against a hostile spell of bowling from Hayden McLean who took 6-45 off 15 overs. Supported by Nigil Singh (2-31) only two batsmen got into double figures with one score of 81 more than half the Ghosts total. We were well on the way at 0-70 with Nick Charlwood (44) and Any Coles (23). Three quick wickets still left the side in a great position by stumps on day 1 but not to be. 4th Grade: drawn @ Petersham—DNB to 6-80: A great spell of bowling by Raj Routray (4-20 off 10 overs) had Campbelltown on the ropes at 4-30 and despite a slight recovery they were still struggling by stumps on day 1. A late start due to wet conditions allowed only 41.5 overs to be bowled on the first day before a washout day 2. 5th Grade: drawn @ Raby 3-173 dec. to 6-94: Scott Gray (39) and Tom Evans (30) were almost overtaken by the sundries total of 34 in getting to a competitive 173. Captain Jason McLean (3-46) and Andrew Sprowls (3-18) quickly got among the wickets to have the opposition on the back-foot at the end of day 1 but were thwarted by the day 2 washout.

Round 14 v Blacktown (2 Day Matches) Sats 2 & 9 Mar 2013 No play in all grades day 1 (other than 2nd Grade) due to rain. Day 2 played as one-day (not limited overs) matches. 1st Grade: lost by 3 wkts @ Joe McAleer--175 to 7-177: Sent in on a sticky pitch proved difficult for run-scoring with only Cameron Borgas (35) and Soumil Chhibber (38) batting at no.9 providing any real resistance. From 0-32 we slumped to 5-56 with Katich, Semple and Price among the victims. Only 7 fours were hit in 81 overs. In reply Blacktown attacked from the start with opener Collison scoring 46 off 37 balls. At 5-128 we were still in it but some resolute batting saw the opposition home in just 38 of the available 40 overs. Semple’s 3-45 were the best figures. 2nd Grade: won outright by 8 wkts @ Coogee—5-130 dec. & 2-88 to 126 & 87: The only 2nd Grade match to get started on a wet day it was surprising that 75 overs were possible. Second-placed Blacktown batted first after losing the toss and had no answer to fine bowling from Ben Marciante (3-29 off 12) and Jordan Magro (4-50 off 15) to be out in 39 overs. By stumps day 1 we were in front after Marciante (46), Shayne Smith (34) and John McLoughlin (32*) put on 130. Day 2 saw Marciante continue his good form with 6-29 off 39 supported by Nathan Ellis (2-27) and Brandon McLean (2-31). Will Passas (39*) and Marciante (27*) quickly polished off the target for a great win. 3rd Grade: won by 107 runs @ Jim Hanshaw—8-195 dec. to 88: Batting first Nick Charlwood (49) and Dylan Smith (36) led the way in posting a competitive score in 60 overs. At 1-41 in the run chase Blacktown were on track but when James Tyson (2-13) and Morgan Clune (5- 33 off 13 overs got busy they lost 9-47 to be all out in 36.5 overs. 4th Grade: won by 8 wkts @ Petersham—5-159 dec. to 98 & 2-38: Blacktown elected to bat first but was struggling at 3-17. They then lost 4-7 with the score on 40 and never recovered to be out for less than 100. Gary Kidd (2-10) Chris Singh (2-17); Daniel Laus (2-20) and Raj Routray (2-24) did the damage. With only 2 wickets down we passed the target and attempted to post a good lead in hope of an outright. Chris Singh (36), Karl Schubert (50) and Tom Johnson (36 off 29 balls) scored the runs but in the second dig the boys from the West dug in and after 30 overs were 2-38 with Kidd grabbing both to finish with 2-10. An outstanding win to give the side a shot at a finals berth. 5th Grade: lost by 102 runs @ Whalan 2—123 to 4-225 dec.: Being sent in held no fears for Blacktown as they piled on the runs before declaring after 55 overs. At 1-47 we had hope but lost 4-36 to be 5-83. With the score on 104 our tail crashed with the last 5 wickets going for just 19. Mitch Wickham (34) and Tom McCarthy (33) batted best in a disappointing display.

Round 15 v Fairfield-Liverpool (Limited Overs) Sat 16 Mar 2013 1st Grade: won by 3 wkts @ Coogee—7-134 to 133 (plus 1 bonus point): Electing to bat the Lions were soon in trouble with quick bowling changes bringing a wicket each to Jake Wilson, Daniel Sams, Nick Warren and Nick Stapleton to have them reeling at 4-53. With Stapleton striking again and Soumil Chhibber (3-25 off 8 overs) chiming in the score had slumped to 6-74. And while the last pair added 26 the final total didn’t look near enough. With a bonus point on the agenda to help improve our position on the final table it was an all-out assault to reach the total within 30 overs. At 5-72 the issue was a bit shaky but Cameron Borgas led the charge with 28* off 50 balls and when Daniel Sams hit 12 off 4 balls it was all over with the win brought up at the end of the 29th over and the bonus point secured to leave us 4th on the points ladder and a place in the Final Series. 2nd Grade: won by 7 wkts @ Rosedale—3-114 to 113 (plus I bonus point): Being 8th on the points ladder a win with a bonus point was the only matter for consideration when skipper Rod Stafford sent Fairfield in to bat. Nathan Ellis (3-16 off 8 overs) struck early and when spin was introduced the Lions had no answer with leg-spinner Brandon McLean securing 5-36 off 10 overs and Shayne Smith 2-3 to wrap them up for a meagre 113. With Will Passas (34) and Smith (33*) leading the charge the win and the important bonus point were quickly achieved in just 24.1 overs. The effort proved its worth with 5th place on the ladder and a spot in the Finals Series secured. 3rd Grade: won by 108 runs @ Petersham—6-209 to 101: Sent in to bat it was appositive approach which enabled a competitive score to be posted with Dylan Smith (55), Alex Sciascia (33),Matt Hilder (27) and Nick Charlwood (26) all among the runs. In reply the Lions were all at seas against a spirited attack which gave them little. James Tyson celebrated with a fine 5-17 while Morgan Clune cleaned up with 2-8. The ease of the win in just 31.4 overs secured a bonus point to allow the team to complete the season in style! 4th Grade: lost by 2 wkts @ Fairfield—153 to 8-154: With a win and other results needed to go our way to gain a spot in the Final Series, attack was the order of the day. However only the skipper David Bourke (57) batted with any substance and the final score looked below par despite the slowness of the outfield. In the run chase, our bowlers threw everything at them but in the end they managed the target with a little over 2 overs left. Grant Rimmer (2-22), Daniel Laus (2-31) and Kushaal Ram (2-5) bowled best in a side which ended up 8th. 5th Grade: lost by @ Kensington—130 to 5-131 (with a bonus point conceded): Looking for a consolation win to complete the season out batsmen failed to flatter at any stage with only Jason McLean (23) and Tom Evans (21) managing anything of note. The Lions were never off the bit in the run chase and despite Nathan Stares” best efforts (2-23) they coasted home in 29 overs to earn a bonus point. A disappointing end to the season.

22 Qualifying Finals (2 Day Matches) Sat/Sun 23/24 March 2013 1st Grade: won by 4 wkts v Sutherland @ Glenn McGrath Oval: 6-212 to 207: With the Sharks winning the toss it was the perfect start for us to see their star batsman and leading NSW striker Nick Maddinson go early when Daniel Sams trapped him lbw for 5. Sams also took out the other opener Cush for a duck to have them on the backfoot at 2-12. Nick Warren quickly chipped in with Hughston, Brown and Dudman, and when Soumil Chibber bowled Dwarshuis for a 34 ball duck Sutherland were on the brink of collapse at 6-68. When Chibber (2-49) grabbed a second wicket with the score on 100 it looked like we would be chasing a small target. However, a fight-back by skipper and NSW leg-spinner Adam Zampa restored some respectability to the score before Ben Marciante (2-35) struck twice. At 9-156 our opening bats were reaching for their pads but the tailenders had other ideas with Fitzgerald and Brockley hitting the best partnership of the innings with a dashing 51 for the 10th wicket before Jake Wilson (1-20) ended their fun with the score on 207. Warren (3-13 off 11 overs) and Sams (2-43 off 12) were the main destroyers. In warm and sunny conditions on a flat track the match was there for the taking. Our two under 21 openers Nick Stapleton (11) and Shaun Eaton (16) looked good but with them both gone the score was just 40. Our big guns Simon Katich and Cameron Borgas then got together and by stumps on day 1 the game looked in our keeping at 2-122 with Kat 64 and Borgas 27. A boundary to Simon first ball on day 2 was followed by a jaffa from the competition’s leading bowler Nathan Fitzgerald which cannoned into his stumps. Anthony Sams (7) followed shortly after and when Borgas (41) and Daniel Sams (1) departed it was well and truly game on at 5-151. However, the steely resolve of skipper Adam Semple (29* off 103 balls) and Ben Marciante (31 off 83) who came into the side following an injury to Nathan Price whittled down the target against some spirited bowling on the stroke of lunch to secure a place in the team’s 5th Semi-Final and the third in the past 3 years. 2nd Grade: lost by 74 runs v Bankstown @ Bankstown Oval: 104 to 178 & 0-90: Losing the toss and bowling in perfect batting conditions seemed a recipe for a long hot day in the field with the lunch score 1-123 off only 38 overs. However at the resumption pace bowler James Tyson struck 3 times in quick succession and with skipper and veteran leggie Rod Stafford weaving his magic, wickets tumbled at an alarming rate. When Jordan Magro (2-27) cleaned up the tail the Bulldogs had lost 9 for 55 to be all out for 178. Stafford finished with 4-41 off 22 overs while Tyson completed 14 in taking 3-35. Nathan Ellis (1-33) who made the initial breakthrough was the other wicket taker. The run chase was not what the doctor ordered with Will Passas (5) and John McLoughlin (0) back in the pavilion with just 9 runs on the board. Worse was to follow with Jake Scicluna (12) and Andrew Williams (11) both departing with the total 28. A 50 run partnership breathed new hope into the side until Brandon McLean (12) was bowled and his partner Shayne Smith who was in sparkling form went leg before after hitting 41 off 32 balls with 2 fours and a six. Nathan Ellis came and went quickly and at stumps we had it all to do at 7-98. Day 2 brought no relief as the final 3 wickets tumbled for the addition of just 6 runs bringing our charge for a spot in the 2nd Grade semi-finals to an end. A further 28 overs were bowled without bringing a wicket and the match was called to a halt just prior to lunch.

Semi-Final (2 Day Match) Easter Sat / Sun 30/31 March 2013 1st Grade: lost by 7 wkts v St George @ : 115 to 4-199: Losing the toss and having to bat against one of the best attacks in Sydney for some years was always going to prove a difficulty. And so it turned out to be. Test bowler struck early bowling young Shaun Eaton for a duck and when NSW pace man Josh Hazelwood removed Nick Stapleton for 12 we were already behind the eight-ball. However, a gritty knock by Simon Katich displaying many of the classy strokes which highlighted his career gave the many RPC supporters in attendance a bit of hope. We were looking to be only 2 down at lunch on a perfect day under clear sunny skies but Saint’s record-wicket taker Steven Green struck twice within a few balls to dismiss Cameron Borgas (2 off 41 balls) and Nathan Price (0) leaving us struggling at sandwiches with 4 down for 54. Worse was to follow as immediately after the resumption Katch was given out to a doubtful leg-before decision for 38 off 89 balls with 4 fours while skipper Adam Semple was snapped up at short mid-wicket for just 1 leaving us in tatters at 6-54. The Sams brothers Anthony and Daniel looked like putting together a decent partnership before Anthony was caught behind for 12 with the score 7-75. Soumil Chhibber joined Daniel and the two youngsters took the game up to the attack until both were dismissed by spectacular catches. Chhibber (22 off 32) was caught on the leg-side boundary to a diving catch while Sams (22 off 78) was snapped up by an airborne mid- on fielder with the ball seemingly on its way to the boundary. And when last man Jake Wilson feathered one to the ‘keeper it was clear we were going to require a multiple breakthrough early to defend our meagre total of 115. Dasher Greg Hunt started in his usual style for Saints but when he edged one off Wilson to Price at first slip for a 1-18 score-line, hopes for a few more quick wickets were high. However despite some spirited bowling, opportunities were few and far between. Daniel Sams struck to remove McCabe with the total 2-54 but by stumps the Dragons were clearly in the box seat at 2-72. Under cloudy skies on day 2 skipper Adam Semple bowled one of his fastest spells to give his side a sniff when he removed high-scoring batsman Chu in a well set leg-side trap. But that was the last of the celebrations as both and Ashley May dug in to take the game away from us. They passed our score before lunch but continued after the break to see Patterson through to a well-earned 104*. A halt was called at 199 when May fell to Wilson to give the left-armer 40 wickets for the season. A great season for a team in re-building mode and not expected to achieve anywhere near the results they did. Ironically, Sutherland who we defeated the previous week beat the minor-premiers University of NSW to claim a spot in the Grand Final.

23 1st Grade Limited Overs Competition in Summary (The Limited Overs competition was played as a separate competition and also as part of the 1st Grade Belvidere Cup competition.)

Round 1 v North Sydney @ North Sydney Sat 1 December 2012 Won by 6 wkts: 4-187 to 186 Standing in as captain for the injured Adam Semple, Cameron Borgas had no hesitation in sending Norths into bat. And at 6-41 it proved the right decision with Jake Wilson and Nick Warren each taking 3 wickets. A 72 run partnership for the next wicket and a late rally by the lower half saw a score posted which was far greater than appeared likely. Wilson and Warren both finished with 3 -31 off 10 overs but it was Nick Stapleton with 4-30 off 9.1 who took the honours. The run chase was a bit shaky at 4-51 with Borgas (0), Stapleton (17), Price (5) and Daniel Sams (5) back in the pavilion. However, when debutante Andrew Wiliams joined Katch the situation changed with the pair putting on 136 in 114 minutes to win the match. Katich (104*) hit his 6th century for the club while Williams finished on 49* in an excellent start to his 1st Grade career. It was a good start to the team’s defence of the Limited Overs trophy it won last season.

Round 2 v Manly @ Manly Sat 8 December 2012 Lost by 182 runs: 135 to 5-317 Losing a limited overs match by 182 runs is nothing short of a hiding. Winning the toss and batting Manly opener never gave our bowlers a chance hitting 137 off 121 balls with 7 sixes. At 1-226 they were difficult to contain with Daniel Sams (3-57 off 9 overs) the best. Without Big Bash stars Simon Katich and Cameron Borgas the chase was always going to be tough and so it proved with skipper Adam Semple out for a rare duck. At 2-68 we were making some sort of a go at the target but lost the last 8 wickets for just 67. New boy Jake Scicluna in only his second 1st Grade match was top scorer with 30 while Nathan Price hit 22. Out team featured 5 players under 21.

Round 3 v Hawkesbury @ Coogee Sat 15 December 2012 Won by 5 wkts: 5-76 to 75 It was a good toss to win on a seaming wicket. Hawkesbury batted first and were soon 2-24 after losing 2 quick wickets to new recruit Luke Feldman the Queensland Bulls fast bowler who was playing for in the Big Bash League. With the score at 2-50, Nick Stapleton (3- 20 off 6 overs) and Jake Wilson (5-11 off 5.2) got together and in a bit over 10 overs took the remaining 8 wickets for just 25 to have the Hawks back in the pavilion for 75. Wicketkeeper Anthony Sams celebrated his return to the side after a month out with a broken finger by taking 4 catches and not conceding a bye. We didn’t have it all our own way in the run chase with the Hawks given a sniff at 5-40. Adam Semple (20*) and Daniel Sams (19*) however, guided the side through to a convincing win and an important bonus point.

Round 4 v Gordon @ Coogee Sat 22 December 2012 Won by 23 runs: 8-262 to 239 Sent in by Gordon we were away to a flyer with Anthony Sams (80 off 100 balls) and Jake Scicluna (69) putting on 145 for the first wicket. Sams’ dismissal triggered a couple of quick run-outs and after Scicluna departed it was left to Nick Stapleton (27 off 27), Daniel Sams (17 off 12) and Ben Marciante (34 off 20 with 2 fours and 2 sixes) to set up a solid target. Three quick wickets to Jake Wilson had the Stags on the back foot and when Nathan Price and Stapleton chipped in with a wicket apiece it looked all over with the scoreline a tottering 5-74. However a 77 run partnership for the 6th wicket and some solid hitting by the tail left the match wide open until Wilson snared his fourth (4-34 off 9) and new recruit Ben Marciante took his first wicket in 1st Grade to seal the win.

Round 5 v Sutherland @ Coogee Sun 3 February 2013 Lost by 56 runs: 204 to 260 Sending the Sharks in paid instant dividends with Jake Wilson having Test player Shane Watson caught behind by Anthony Sams for a duck fourth ball. First class all-rounder Steve Smith quickly followed for just 5 when he nicked Ben Marciante to Sams. Nick Maddison hit out and the score was rocketing along until Nick Warren bowled him for 56 then did the same next ball to number 5 Cush to have them 4-84. Another wicket to Marciante (2-53) had them reeling at 5-89. However, the class of Phil Jaques (68) shone through and when he went the score had climbed to 8-200. At 9-202 we were in a good position but State spinner Adam Zampa hit 50* in a partnership of 58 to give them the initiative. Wilson finished with 2-46, Warren 2-44 while skipper Adam Semple’s 3-45 took him past 100 1st Grade wickets. With Sams and Passas departing with just 18 on the board in the run chase it was left to Nick Stapleton and Shaun Eaton, who had been called into the side as cover for Jake Scicluna who was injured in the match the day before, to get back on track. When Stapleton went for a hard-fought 21 off 64 balls the score had reached 96. But with Semple, Daniel Sams and Marciante departing quickly thereafter, the cause looked lost at 6-115. With Brandon McLean holding up an end Eaton began to hit out and got the score to 169 before he was caught and bowled by Maddinson for a magnificent maiden 1st Grade century of 117 from just 90 balls with 13 fours and 6 sixes. Unfortunately the tail was not able to wag and we were all out for 204—56 runs short with 5.5 overs remaining on the clock. McLean remained 29* off 54 balls. A great effort and with other results going our way the result saw us only drop from 3rd on the competition ladder to 5th and a place in the Quarter Finals. Both teams through captains Adam Semple and Phil Jaques were awarded maximum points in the Spirit of Cricket markings.

Quarter Final v University of NSW @ Village Green Sun 10 February 2013 Lost by 92 runs: 136 to 228 It was do or die defence of our premiership in this competition last season when we took the field after Uni. had won the toss and decided to bat. An early wicket to Jake Wilson was the start we needed but it wasn’t until the score reached 91 that the second wicket fell. At 4-148 we looked like chasing plenty but some tight bowling aided by 3 run-outs saw the students all out in the 49th over for a below par 228. Ben Marciante (2-38 off 10 overs), Nick Stapleton (1-26) and debut player Shayne Smith (1-30 off 6) bowled well. In reply we were well placed at 0- 26 but lost 3 wickets on that score. Two more wickets and at 5-36 we had it all to do. A swashbuckling innings by Daniel Sams who hit 73 off 83 balls with 5 fours and 2 sixes went unsupported and the innings folded in the 37th over after a disappointing batting display to conclude our season in the competition.

24 1st Grade Twenty20 Competition in Summary (The Twenty20 Cup was played as a separate competition this season and formed no part of the 1st Grade competition although points awarded counted towards the Club Championship.)

Round 1 TWENTY20 v Sydney @ Coogee Sun 14 October 2012 Lost 6-153 to 4-171 Defending a crown won the previous season creates its own problems and so it proved with a loss by 18 runs. Sydney won the toss and batted under sunny skies on a hard pitch. Getting rid of hard-hitting Daniel Smith for 2 was a bonus but RPC “bogey-man” Tim Sparke who always scores well at Coogee hit 94 off 51 balls to put Sydney in the box seat. Jake Wilson (2-27) and Adam Semple (2-27) were the wicket-takers. At 1-86 in the run chase we were doing it well with Cameron Borgas (51) in control. Anthony Sams (27 off 15) and new boy Shaun Eaton (30 off 22) tried hard but we came up 18 short against the big total when the 20 overs ran out. Round 2 TWENTY20 v St George @ Hurstville Sun 28 October 2012 Lost 7-113 to 1-117 Sent in under overcast skies with many of our regulars unavailable for a variety of reasons, our team included 7 under 21 Poidevin Gray players. Against the experienced Saints line-up which included Test bowler Trent Copeland and NSW rep Kurt Patterson it was always going to be a struggle to take the points. With our three experienced players Adam Semple (9), Anthony Sams (15) and Jake Wilson (0-16 off 2 overs) not making huge inroads the result was inevitable and we went down in just 14.1 overs. Brandon McLean’s 26 off 22 and Ben Marciante’s 18 off 16 were good contributions but our poor total was not enough for the bowlers to defend against some quality batsmen. Round 3 TWENTY20 v Easts @ Coogee Sun 4 November 2012 Won 3-166 to 7-146 RPC batted first losing Shaun Eaton with only 15 runs on the board. Simon Katich joined Cameron Borgas and both showed their class with a partnership of 100 runs in quick time. Both players were punishing and inventive with Borgas showing skill in playing a number of reverse sweeps and ramp shots. When Katich went for 43 from 35 balls and Nathan Price fell soon after, skipper Semple struck a few lusty blows in a quick fire 21 from 10 balls to see RPC register 3 for 166 from 20 overs. Borgas remained unbeaten on 87 from 66 balls. In reply Easts got off to a solid start taking the score to 28 before Daniel Sams (1-23 from 4 overs) removed the dangerous Ezekiel and then Semple (2-22 from 4 overs) followed with a wicket next over to see Easts in trouble at 2 for 32. From this point RPC were able to apply pressure as the required run rate rose. Eaton (1-13 from 3) was economical as Easts were unable to find the required boundaries. Despite the best efforts of ex-RPC player Matt Yiend who scored 33 RPC won easily with Easts only able to muster 7 for 146 after 20 overs. Nick Warren cleaned up with 2-30.

31 1st Grade Report by Adam Semple, Captain

Position in Competitions: Belvidere Cup–4th (11 wins; 7 losses); Limited Overs–5th (3 wins; 3 losses); Twenty 20 Cup-14th (1 win; 2 losses): 15 wins; 12 losses in all three competitions.

This was always going to be a difficult season for 1st Grade in the sense that we would be judged on how we performed in relation to last year’s success. With 2 premierships to defend, and the departure of First Class representatives Usman Khawaja, Nathan Hauritz and Scott Coyte along with 2nd XI representatives Adam Coyte and Damian Wall, the job was going to be tough. We were unable to defend the premierships from the previous season but we gave it a hell of a fight in relinquishing them.

With as many as 5 or 6 positions up for grabs in 1st Grade this season there was significant opportunity for the next generation of young cricketers to establish themselves in the top grade. We had 10 newly capped players this year, the majority of which also formed part of our PG’s side. This is a positive sign for the future of RPC cricket for the years to come.

What this group of players achieved this season was far beyond anything I imagined. The maturity shown by such a young group of players was extraordinary. There were numerous occasions throughout the year that a less motivated group of players would have just packed it in and surrendered the season meekly. Not so this group. Similarly the leadership displayed by the more senior guys made things a lot easier for myself as captain.

There’s no escaping the fact that we had days where we didn’t perform to the standard that we typically set for ourselves as 1st Grade cricketers. The impressive thing from my perspective was that the youth and relative inexperience was never once used as an excuse for a poor performance, we took it on the chin and showed up ready to fight again the following week. And fight is something we had to do every week. At no stage did anything come easy for us this year and we worked really hard to earn our competition points. This definitely stood us in good stead when it came to the business end of the season.

There seemed to be a trend across all of Sydney 1st Grade grounds this season where lively, greenish wickets were being produced. The beneficiaries of this were our seam bowlers, of which we have plenty, and they performed phenomenally well. Led by Jake Wilson, who this season brought up 100 1st Grade wickets for RPC in only his third season, our bowling unit was the driving force behind the majority of our wins. We had the ability to build pressure with the ball and take wickets consistently in all conditions.

The flip-side of playing on green wickets is that it largely takes the spin option out of the equation. Credit must go to both our spinners, Brandon McLean and Soumil Chhibber, for the way they handled themselves under what was definitely frustrating circumstances, and when their opportunities came they jumped at them.

The foundation of our batting this year was Nick Stapleton. He was by far our most dependable batsman under all conditions. The way he maintained focus at all times, and the toughness he showed is something the rest of the batting group can learn from. There are not many people who work harder at their game than Stapes and I was so pleased to see him make his first 1st Grade hundred against Mosman this season. It will be the first of many.

There were glimpses shown by each player in the batting group this year and it’s clear that there is serious potential. Consistency was probably lacking a little, especially from the senior guys in the squad this year. Where this is addressed and combined with the youth we have in the group there are only positive things to come.

It is always great to have first class /Test quality cricketers around and this year it was no different. Having guys like Simon Katich and Cameron Borgas around the group is always motivating as a player, helpful as a leader and I’m sure a big thrill for all the younger guys.

A couple of special performances on the grade cricket front this year saw Daniel Sams finish the season in equal 4th position in the O’Reilly Medal count for the best performed 1st Grade player. This is a phenomenal achievement for someone so young. Also Jake Wilson who finished the season as 1st Grades’ 4th leading wicket-taker in the SCA competition and in the process earning himself selection in the SCA Merit XI – Team of the Season.

The season also saw numerous members of our 1st Grade squad representing our state with Jake Scicluna and Soumil Chhibber representing NSW at the Australian U19 championships, Nathan Price representing NSW at the Imparja Cup and Anthony Sams and Adam Semple representing NSW 2nd XI and Futures League in various fixtures throughout the year.

The last thing I’d really like to mention is that the success of 1st Grade this season is not the result of the 11 players taking the field on any given weekend, but rather a squad of important people, without which any of our success this season would not have been possible. This not only includes the players but all the support we received from coaches, managers, volunteers, supporters and our legendary scorer Chris McLeod. I am immensely proud of all who were involved in the 1st Grade squad this season and who contributed to our success. I’m looking forward to next year already.

34 1st Grade Limited Overs State Challenge Final Randwick Petersham v Illawarra at Kensington Oval Saturday 15th September 2012 Randwick Petersham won by 7 wickets 1-158 to 157

First played in 1986-87 when it was won by Campbelltown DCC, the State Challenge is an annual match between the City and Country 1st Grade Limited Overs Competition winners. As winners of the Sydney Limited Overs Competition in 2011-12, this season Randwick Petersham played Illawarra at Kensington Oval.

The Randwick Petersham team contained four new players in Shaun Eaton, Soumil Chhibber, Daniel Sams and Brandon McLean. The Illawarra team included Tim Laws, Randwick Petersham capped 1st Grade player no. 53 of 2006-07. A hard-hitting batsman Tim is best remembered for his epic 231 in 2nd Grade against Bankstown in 2008-09 which was and remains the highest score in the club’s history in any grade.

Illawarra won the toss and elected to bat in good conditions, but early wickets to Nick Warren (1-20 from 7 overs) and Jake Wilson (2-16 from 7.1 overs) saw RPC on the front foot early. The Illawarra middle order attempted to resurrect the innings with Tim Laws being particularly aggressive compiling 40 from 23 balls before Brandon McLean struck (3-36 from 8 overs), and from this position the Illawarra lower order crumbled under the pressure to be dismissed for 157 after 44.1 overs.

After losing Nick Stapleton early in the run chase, John McLoughlin (53 retired) and Anthony Sams (54 retired) made light work of it all before retiring and leaving it to skipper Adam Semple to strike a six to win the match in the 40th over.

For his high class innings and superb wicket-keeping display, Anthony Sams was awarded the State Challenge Medal for the Player of the Match.

Representative Cricket: T20 & Hong Kong Sixers In 2012-13 the Randy Petes were represented in the KFC Big Bash by Simon Katich (Perth Scorchers Captain) and Cameron Borgas (Sydney Thunder). Borgas’ season with the Thunder was disappointing but he was involved in one of the catches of the season combining with former Randy Petes skipper Scott Coyte on the boundary to dismiss Nathan Reardon. Simon led the Scorchers to their second consecutive BBL final only to be defeated by the Heat inspired by Man of the Match and former Randy Pete Nathan Hauritz. He also represented the Scorchers at their second consecutive appearance at the Champions League in India. On a side note Luke Feldman (Sydney Sixes) played one match in 1st Grade as a guest player v. Hawkesbury at Coogee Oval. In other T20 domestic competitions Cameron represented Wellington Firebirds and Rangpur Riders in Bangladesh. Simon was also in Bangladesh with Duronto Rajshahi, where their campaign ended in the Elimination Final to runners up Chittagong. Borgas also became the Randy Petes' 2nd Australian representative behind Scott Coyte at the Hong Kong Sixers in November defeating the Netherlands in the Plate Final. He scored 27 runs and took 4 wickets in 4 matches.

Sir Wesley Hall West Indian Wes Hall, the fastest bowler in the world in 1965-66 when he had a season with Randwick, was knighted last year for his service to sport and the community. Hall captained Randwick that season taking 56 wickets to ensure the side made the 1st Grade semi-finals for the first time in many years. It was a season which saw a great increase in Grade Cricket interest throughout the area. Wherever Wes played crowds flocked to see him hurling his thunderbolts from a run-up near the boundary fence. The sign outside Coogee Oval read “Become a Randwick associate member for this great WEST Indian summer”. In 2000 Wes was back at Randwick as the club’s guest speaker at its Centenary Dinner. He also bowled the first ball in a special Centenary Cricket Match at Coogee Oval a few days later although on that occasion, he said he found it rather strange not pushing himself off the sightscreens on his approach to the wicket! Congratulations The Reverend Sir Wesley Hall!

36 2nd Grade Report by Rod Stafford, Captain Position in Competition: 5th 8 wins; 7 losses; 1 draw

Season 2012-13 was one that fluctuated greatly for Randy Pete’s 2nd Grade but undoubtedly finished with more positives than negatives.

There was an influx of quality young talent to the club during the off-season and after winning our opening two fixtures expectations were high for the boys. We then proceeded to lose the next 5 games including a last wicket loss to Bankstown. During this period the side lacked runs, but we also lacked the ability to build pressure with the ball in hand.

At this point in the season (2 wins, 5 losses) we pretty much had to win every game to make the finals and with a carefree approach to our cricket the side flourished. It was around the Christmas period that many of the new players to the club started to build a rapport and mateship with each other and with the more senior players in the side. The benefits of simply playing together for a while and understanding and trusting each other’s games were starting to seep through. From a captain’s point of view this progression was most noticeable and we started to build momentum and really play as a team.

We had a number of good wins during the post-Christmas break with our bowling taking centre stage and our batting being good enough to chase down targets. Even after round 13 we were still long shots as we were placed 12 th with 2 rounds to go and still 9 points from 6th place. However, we belted 2nd placed Blacktown outright in round 14 and then did the same to 6th placed Fairfield-Liverpool in the final round to win with a bonus point and propel ourselves into the finals in 5th place.

Finals cricket is a major reason we all play the game and we were to face Bankstown in a replay of our nail-biting last wicket defeat from round 4. With Bankstown 1 for 123 at lunch we were at long odds to progress past the 1st week of the finals but the side showed great character to take 9 for 55 in the middle session to see Bankstown all out 178. Chief destroyers were the experienced trio of Tyson, Stafford and Magro. The final session of Day 1 saw the side lose 2 early wickets, then recover to 2 for 30 before losing 2 more quick wickets. Shayne Smith counter-attacked with 41 but with the loss of Brandon McLean and Smith in quick succession the side was teetering at 7 for 98 overnight. There was hope of the tail wagging its way to victory, but it wasn’t to be as we were dismissed early on Day 2 for a disappointing 104. Again, much like our losing streak earlier in the season, our batting wasn’t quite up to scratch.

The Players Ben Marciante came on in leaps and bounds and his aggressive approach with both batting 3 and opening the bowling culminated in 1st Grade finals selection. “Rocky” scored 324 runs @ 36 and took 22 wickets @ 17 including two 5 for’s. Shayne Smith had an outstanding all-round season leading the run-scorers with 481 @ 32 and taking 17 wickets @ 30. Shayne is a phenomenal talent who shreds the ball over the fence at will. He took many attacks apart this season with his unique style. His off-spin bowling is aggressive and will only improve in the coming years as he continues to learn his craft. Brandon McLean had a great all round year taking 19 wickets @ 15 with his big turning “leggies” and averaged 20 with the bat. Brando will no doubt have learnt a lot from his first crack in 1st Grade. Well done on your first 5 wicket haul for RPC– 5-36 v Fairfield-Liverpool in round 15. Andrew Williams piled on the runs to force 1st Grade selection and ended the season with 272 runs @ 54. His composure at the crease and ability to build an innings is rarely seen these days and bodes well for the future. Jarryd Biviano is an excellent young keeper who also got a taste of 1st Grade this year. He finished the year with 24 catches and 6 stumpings to take out the most dismissals in the whole of the 2nd Grade competition despite playing 4 games in 1st Grade. Will Passas was solid as ever scoring 355 runs @ 30 and celebrated his maiden grade ton with a delightful 106 not out v Gordon just before Christmas. Congrats on the achievement mate. Nathan Ellis broke into the 2nd Grade side through weight of runs in 3’s and finished the year opening up with new rock bowling quality swing taking 14 poles @ 23. Bamboozled a number of senior bats in opposition sides and was a pleasure to watch from slip. “Nelly” is still to be given a quality nickname though. Jordan Magro commenced the year in 3’s after some injury worries and his selection in 2’s was the catalyst for our success. His ability to maintain pressure enabled our aggressive spinners/quicks to take wickets at the other end and Jordan finished with a well-deserved 23 wickets @ 19. Dylan Smith started with a bang but struggled for consistency with the bat to average just below 20. Dylan is an all-round talent who bowled some very handy spells and developed into a decent slips fieldsman. To his credit, every time Dylan went down to 3’s he scored runs and I’m sure next season will see Dylan’s game develop even further. Seasoned veterans Alex Sciascia, John McLoughlin, Rod Stafford and James Tyson all performed well at various stages of the year and helped mould the side into a finals outfit. Quality beers and chat were had in the sheds post game and the season-long banter and twitter-wars between Tyso and Sharsh are always a pleasure to be around.

37 Shaun Eaton and Jake Scicluna forced their way into 1st Grade through quality 2nd Grade performances and proved they can handle it on the big stage. Other solid contributions to 2’s were also made during the year by the likes of Karl Schubert, Barton Lynch and Gabe Budwee.

Huge thanks to Stan Beale for scoring and just being a great sounding-board and to Robin Gardner and Sue Otto for the great lunches and arvo teas at Coogee. Cec Orrock and Pete English were phenomenal once again down at Coogee and big thanks to Alan Vaughan for the photos and scoring assistance as well. Also big thanks to Darren Smith for his help during the season with warm ups and for fielding at Penrith. We had great support from many of the parents and girlfriends during the season and also from the great Richard McCord during the Qualifying Final at Bankstown.

Spirit of Cricket

Cricket is a game that owes much of its unique appeal to the fact that it should be played not only within its Laws but also within the Spirit of the Game. The Spirit of Cricket includes respect for opponents, umpires and the game’s traditional values, and emphasises the role of team captains in upholding the game’s values. In every match played, umpires assess each team’s performance in terms of the Spirit of Cricket and this Award is presented to acknowledge the club that has been deemed to have best upheld those values. This season the winner was Sydney University with an average point total of 8.257. Second was Randwick Petersham with an average of 8.25, a fraction of a point behind Uni. This was an outstanding result for the club and reflects very favourably on our captains Adam Semple (1sts) Rod Stafford (2nds), Matt Hilder (3rds), David Bourke (4ths), Jason McLean (5ths), Nick Stapleton (P-G’s) and Henry Thornton (A W Green Shield). It is also pleasing to report that our 1st Grade team under Adam Semple’s captaincy was in fact the leading 1st Grade club with an average of 8.42, just ahead of Northern District, a club which has taken out the award twice before, on 8.39. We also had three of our other four grades finish in second place to complete an outstanding result for the club. 2nd Grade scored 8.63 to Manly-Warringah’s 8.79; 4th Grade finished with 8.36 to Northern District’s 8.41; while 5th Grade was equal second on 8.27 behind Sydney Uni and St George on 8.33. And not far behind them was 3rd Grade finishing equal 5th on 7.93. PG’s also finished equal 5th on 8.14 with AWG in 15th spot on 7.86. Overall, a brilliant result for all players.

39 3rd Grade Report by Matthew Hilder, Captain Position in Competition: 13th 5 wins; 6 losses; 4 draws

A disappointing season in regards to our final position on the competition table, but an extremely enjoyable year that saw the development of some young guys who showed potential to play higher grades. After a slow start to the season the side lost confidence and seemed to be able to manufacture a loss or draw from strong positions. There were several reasons for this but mainly it can be put down to inexperience and the lack of the 'killer instinct' that comes when you don’t get a win until round 7.

It was truly a season of missed opportunities; performing well against the higher placed sides, beating both grand finalists, but failing to pick up a point against the lower placed sides. Early in the season we lost 3 out of 4 matches by 12 runs; once after allowing a 77 run 10th wicket partnership, once by one wicket after again allowing a 35 run 10th wicket partnership, and once by 2 wickets. A tough start to the season by any stretch of the imagination!

The side went through 28 players during the season, which isn’t unusual for 3rd Grade, but this fact makes it difficult for a side to build momentum. However, from adversity comes opportunity - we had 13 players make their 3rd Grade debuts for the club and a number of others getting opportunities in 2nd Grade.

To say our bowling was our strength would be a gross understatement. With a good mix of youth and experience our attack was at least the equal of and in my opinion better than any other side in the competition. On the flip side we struggled to consistently post competitive totals throughout the season. We showed an inability to play out long innings and build partnerships and the fact that no hundreds were scored and only 10 fifties posted tells the story.

The best all-round performance of the season came from Nick Charlwood taking 17 wickets @ 22 and scoring 279 runs @ 31. “Charlie” bowled like he has for the last couple of seasons with excellent control and consistent movement but it was his batting that really impressed. Promoted to open the innings mid-way through the year, Nick showed that he is much more than a lower order hitter playing a number of well-constructed innings.

The leading wicket taker for the side was young Hayden McLean with 21 wickets @ 17 including a best of 6-45 from one of the most outstanding spells of swing bowling I have seen. Nathan Ellis bowled with pace and aggression, continually making batsmen look silly with his ability to move the ball both ways. He also scored 170 runs @ 42.5 to completely deserve his promotion to 2nd Grade in Round 7.

There were excellent contributions from our young spin twins, Mitch Jones and Morgan Clune. Taking 18 and 14 wickets respectively, they both bowled some very good spells and I have no doubt they will be playing higher grade cricket in the not to distance future.

I’d like to say that I really enjoyed playing with all players, whether they were the older guys that I’ve played years of cricket with or the young blokes playing their first year of Grade Cricket. They are all good cricketers, but more importantly good blokes. It was always an honour captaining them all.

Finally, I’d like to thank all those who helped throughout the season: Nigil Singh – Vice Captain and enormous help, whenever something needed to be done or said, Nig was more than willing to put up his hand. Also Anyes McLean, John Clune and Amy Singh for some of the most delicious afternoon teas ever and all the running around you do. And as always, Lynette, thanks for helping out wherever needed, from scoring, the ever important beer runs, and everything in between.

4th Grade Report by David Bourke, Captain Position in Competition: 8th 8 wins; 4 losses; 3 draws

4th Grade looked to improve on the previous two seasons that had seen the side just miss the finals, but alas the curse struck again! The fact that the side finished with the 2nd best quotient in the competition is indicative of the high quality and dominating victories it was able to produce. However, even with only losing one game after Christmas, and just four in total, bad weather played a part in the back end of the season to see the side unable to break into the top 6.

Upon reflection, while it was frustrating not to play finals cricket, it was an extremely enjoyable season with a fantastic group of players who enjoyed each other's success and gave 100% every time they strode out onto the field for the Randy-Petes.

Season Highlights: The come-from-behind win over Manly in Round 7. After cruising to 41 on a flat deck at Petersham Oval before the first wicket fell, we collapsed badly to be dismissed for 98. Manly moved to 2 for 46 before the introduction of young trump Henry 'Big H' Thornton turned the game on it head. In a blistering spell of 6 overs, 'Big H' tore through the Manly middle order, picking up the unbelievable figures of 5 for 9, and Manly were in tatters at 8 for 54! From here we were able to bowl them out for 76 and secure the most unlikely 6 points!

Another highlight worthy of mention was the mid-wicket conversation between Nick 'Sards' Saady and Oshanka 'Shank' Perera. After Shank played and missed a few balls outside the off stump, he joined Sards at the end of the over where Sards suggested that he might give the shot away. Shank simply looked at Sards and told him to worry about his own game and headed back to his end!

Season Lowlights: The heartbreaking loss against Gordon in Round 9. In his 200th Grade match, veteran Grant Rimmer ripped through the Stags to claim 7 for 30, and in the process also took his 350th Grade wicket, and the Stags were dismissed for a mere 91. After cruising to 30 before the 2nd wicket fell, we quickly slumped to 8 for 57. Some fighting partnerships at the bottom of the order saw us scrap towards the target, but in the end we fell agonisingly 3 runs short.

Another lowlight of mention is the quality of stumps used by the Penrith Cricket Club. Grant 'Rims' Rimmer is more known for extracting turn and bounce more so than pace from the wicket, however against Penrith with the new ball in hand, Rims was able to get one through the defences of their opening batsmen, and much to the shock of all at the ground the middle stump shattered into pieces! They obviously don’t make stumps like they used to.....

The Volunteers: A massive thank you to our manager John 'The Ger' Connell and scorer Richard 'Hubert' McCord. The Ger has been a fixture at 4th Grade games for a number of seasons now; the sensational lunches and teas, and of course the post-match libations were once again of the highest standard. After some off-field issues, big Hubert returned to score for 4th Grade at our home games, and his post match analysis was always welcomed by all the boys.

Player Summary: Grant Rimmer - whilst proving to be a sensational vice-captain and warm-up co-ordinator, Rims led from the front with the new ball this season, with his 25 wickets being the most for the side, and 10th best in the overall competition. Rims also passed some significant milestones throughout the course of the season; 200 Grade career games, 250 Grade wickets for RPC, and 350 Grade career wickets. Not bad for a bloke who the skipper deemed wasn't worthy enough of a second spell all season..... Chris Singh - the move to the top of the batting order proved to be a master stroke as Singhy was the side's leading run scorer, rattling up 367 runs which was also the 7th highest in the competition overall. Coupled with 14 wickets, another great season from a quality cricketer, even if the ability to start each spell with a no-ball is something he still hasn't been able to remove from his game..... Kushaal Ram - the Ram started like a house on fire with the bat, showing his undoubted natural talent. While the runs did not flow post Christmas as he would have liked, his energy both on and off the field remained high. Underused with the ball, the skipper needs to have his head checked..... Oshanka Perera - the Shank was a revelation in the first full season of grade cricket, racking up 279 runs at the average of around 35. Not bad for a bloke who is a bowler! The maturity and calmness that he displays in compiling an innings is of a higher grade standard, something that other batsmen throughout the club should be taking note of. Gary Kidd - one of the 'Internationals', the Wiz showed why he has represented Ireland at the top level, opposition batsmen simply were not able to him off the square as his season RPO of 2.01 shows! Equally as good with the new or old ball, the Wiz was the skippers 'go to' man and he rarely failed to deliver. His opinion on the flavour of post game libation was always appreciated.....

43 Raj Routray - another 'International' who represented Scotland in numerous under age teams including the Under 19 World Cup, the Doctor joined us from Scotland for the season and fitted into the side like he had been here for years! Always able to gain early breakthroughs, he was a captain's dream as he would run in all day and hit a length. Hopefully we see the Doctor back in the Green and Gold next season, at least for his legion of female fans down at Coogee..... Tom Johnson - TJ unfortunately had limited opportunities with both bat and ball this season due to the side performing well on a consistent basis, but when called upon he displayed undoubted class while being outstanding in the field. A great man to have in the sheds, always pushing others to be better...... Daniel Laus - Lausy didn't have the same impact as previous seasons, mainly due to an early season shoulder injury and limited opportunities for long spells. No doubt he will hit back next season – he’s too classy not to. His passion and never say die attitude is great for the side, just don't misfield off his bowling..... Karl Schubert - the Schu joined the side post Christmas, and immediately proved his worth with the bat opening the innings, assured glove work behind the stumps and infectious enthusiasm. Also, still has retained his ability to make friends with the opposition..... Tom Holland -Dutchy returned from a second knee re-construction and proved that hard work does pay off, dominating in his time in 4th Grade to the point that he wasn't dismissed until he had amassed 163 runs, and progressing to 2nd Grade before season’s end. Would have scored more runs if the skipper was sharper between wickets.... Donal Vaughan - Vaughany didn't produce the results that his talent and technique suggest that he should, but no doubt he will hit back next season with some more time at training. A great set of hands, both on the field either in slips, the outfield, or with the keeping gloves on, and off the field when a libation was on offer..... Nick Saady - big Sards improved with both bat and ball this season as he showed by consistently playing 3rd Grade. Just needs to continue to work hard on all aspects of his game and greater rewards will be forthcoming. A suggestion would be to steer clear of thrown downs at training with Alex Sciascia..... Mitchell Wickham - in his first season of Grade cricket, Mitch showed he is a young keeper/batsmen with plenty of talent with both gloves and bat. A really hard worker at training, I am really looking forward to seeing him develop and push up the grades in the coming seasons…..

45 5th Grade Report by Jason McLean, Captain Position in Competition: 15th 4 wins; 9 losses; 2 draws

Now that the 2012-13 season has come to an end it’s inevitable that this is cause for reflection and review. It’s fair to say that from the scoreboard point of view finishing 15th with only 4 wins was a very poor result. Our 5th Grade teams have always prided themselves on having a winning culture that fosters cricketers who are developing their skills for future higher Grade honour within the Club. However, I strongly believe that history will prove that this year will spawn some very talented cricketers for the Club for many years to come.

The thing that’s brilliant about cricket is that the stats usually tell the full story. In our season here are some stats to consider:

1) There were 36 players who played 5th Grade this Season 2) There were 16 players who made their 5th Grade Debut for RPCC 3) Only 4 players took 5 wickets or more in a game 4) There were only 8 fifties made and 0 hundreds in the 155 wickets we lost

The stats tell the story of a year that gave a lot of players their first opportunity in Grade Cricket for RPCC. It tells of a year where there weren’t enough individual high run-makers and wicket-takers....and that there wasn’t a consistent core player group each week.

However, in leading the team for the majority of games this season, I had a clear focus on ensuring players were given the opportunity to experience different situations so as to grow and develop their skills as well as building an environment aligned to our values of Trust , Respect & Humility. I always felt that even though we didn’t perform as well as we should have...every player gave it their best and played by the Umpires decision...good, bad or indifferent...and represented the Club in the right spirit of the game.

Throughout it all there were some moments of success that brought the team together, be it an amazing debut by Tom Evans (64 runs & 5-18)...a gritty batting performance to save a game by Nathan Stares ( 63 balls ).....6-32 in a cameo performance by David Molan...classy spin from Stares (5-41) and Evans (3-27) against Manly....a blistering 46 not out in his first match back for 2 seasons for Scott Gray batting at 9 ( poor captaining! )....a stump shattering 5-29 v Mosman from Connor Sykes-Morrison....an attacking 3-18 late in the day against Campbelltown from Andrew Sprowls ....an aggressive, free flowing 82 not out from Mitch Wickham as we pushed to set a target for an outright win (only to be run down by Sydney University).....and both Nathan Stares and Adam Docos being promoted late in the season to 3rd Grade where they more than held their own.

In conclusion, as I said to the boys as we ended our season, we simply didn’t win enough of the key battles against the better teams....we didn’t hold those half chances....we didn’t rebuild partnerships after the loss of a wicket...we didn’t bowl tight enough for sustained periods....and we didn’t have enough regular “big” contributions. But I also said that the experience gained will only help next season. The boys all need to work hard in the off-season and set individual goals which will help motivate them and keep them focused in 2013-14 and in doing so next season will be even bigger and better for themselves and the mighty Randwick Petersham.

Many thanks to all the parents and supporters who came along during the season to cheer us on and help out. And special thanks to Mike Sprowls who was our scorer in the majority of games as well as having to pull on the whites to fill in on the field from time to time.

48 Metropolitan Cup by Denis Hinds, Manager

The Metro Comp seems to get harder every year. This year Gordon and North Sydney fielded high quality teams and inflicted some overwhelming defeats on some opposing teams which unfortunately included us. Our positions on the table were a fair indication of what we deserved. If we lacked something, it was a bit of toughness to grind it out when things were bad. On the plus side it did mean we got to the pub quite early after some games. At the end of the season it was Blacktown who won the premiership from fifth spot.

Playing numbers were very erratic due in part to a change of culture in the club. At times our club of 7 teams had over 40 players unavailable and one week it was 50. It seems that playing cricket on Saturday is no longer the biggest recreational event of the week as in many cases it was replaced by a party, a music concert or cruise. For the first time in many seasons we had to forfeit games due to lack of numbers.

Sitting incongruously with this was the improved wickets and grounds, improved training facilities and increased coaching staff. The conditions of grade cricket teams are much better than what they were 20 years ago and yet the commitment to play seems less.

Despite our lack of results, we still had lots of positives for the season. Firstly Steve Stammers scored the first ton in Metro for many seasons and for a long part of the season he was the only lower grade player to reach triple figures.

Secondly, as is one of our main objects in Metro, we found some more youngsters with the potential to move up through the grades. We found Jason McDonald, Saad Hasan, Vishnu Avudarnayagam, Savio Gracios Flor, Will Lawrance and Max Bear from Green Shield; Ben Hoffman Nick Hardie and Jackson Eldridge from Waverley College and Harrison Yates, Aurangazeb Rana, Ned Anson and Zane Alwani.

Thirdly, some of our boys from last season graduated with honours into 5th Grade with Jaya Murdita, Connor Sykes-Morrison, Neale Crawford, Steve, and Adam Pustetto all making their mark.

As occurred last year we again lost some young fast bowlers with stress fractures in the back and it seems we need a high quality program for all our young fast bowlers next year. Like the Australian team we will need to decide if we are giving our young quicks too much work or not enough.

One of the season highlights was the annual Green v Gold clash or Metro State of origin. Thanks to David Bourke, the game was transferred to Coogee Oval as match of the day (all other grades were washed out) and attended by record numbers of players, officials and spectators. The master of all scorers Richard McCord honoured us with his presence on the pencil and paper and President Whit revved the teams up with a pre match talk. The game was mate against mate and there was plenty of aggression in the bowling and the field chat. All up a great day with a few boys looking to get square next season.

The other highlights of the season were:

Charith De Silva’s significant improvements in the field and him finishing as our equal leading bowler with 14 wickets. His enthusiasm is infectious and at times it felt like playing for the West Indies with Charith’s mid pitch dancing to celebrate a wicket. Coach Darren Smith is still trying to work out how Charith clean bowled him at Coogee Oval.

Neale Crawford regained his form with the bat amassing 401 runs at 36.45. His finest innings was in Round 15 against Sydney University where he batted with power and placement remaining unbeaten on 67.

Adam Pustetto was the other batting mainstay making scoring look easy on many occasions and Nick Hardie bowled with aggression and pace finishing as the other leading wicket-taker.

It may be a record because in Round 4 all 4 Nawaz males were represented on the field. Older brother Rizwan played for Gold at Jubilee, while father Aden and younger brothers Armaan and Rehaan played for Green at David Phillips.

Thanks to the support of Aden during the season for sourcing replacement players from his family and elsewhere and thanks to the big four who you can depend on to turn out every week: George Frazakis, John Stewart, Jeremy Jastrzab and Charith De Silva.

52 Poidevin Gray Shield (Under 21 years) by Nicholas Stapleton, Captain Position in Competition: 9th 4 wins; 3 losses This was really a season of what could have been. The team, on paper, surely was one of the strongest Randwick Petersham has fielded in recent times and, had it performed to its full potential, would have given the competition a real shake. Unfortunately, although there were a number of fine individual performances throughout the season, the team was not as cohesive as we had hoped. In the final wash, the team finished ninth, two points out of the qualifying finals, having lost its last two matches by three runs or less. Not making the qualifying finals with such a strong side was a bitter pill to swallow for all of us, however, with the vast majority of the team backing up next year, I am just as positive, if the players learn from the mistakes of this year, that they will challenge for the trophy next year. As with many club sides, there were a number of people involved with the team who gave up their time, happily and freely, and who sought no thanks. I think it most appropriate to acknowledge those people here. To Peter Devlin, Bill Anderson and James Wynn, all of whom were available to lend assistance and provide advice to the team during the season. I am most grateful. To Robin and Sue in the kitchen and to Cec and Peter who assisted at home games, the team is most grateful. Finally, I would like to thank the Club for entrusting me with the captaincy of a side which comprised a bunch of fine cricketers (and more importantly, good blokes) whom I know will be a better team for this years’ experience.

The Players Jarryd Biviano: Wicketkeeper/right hand batsman. Jarryd was recruited from the Shire and proved an immediate success. He is a more than capable gloveman and a hard hitting lower order batsman. He is also a great team-man. Importantly for the Club, Jarryd still has a couple of years remaining in Poidevin Gray and will undoubtedly be one of the team's mainstays in that time. Soumil Chhibber: Right arm off spinner/right hand batsman. Soumil played in all seven matches taking five wickets with his right arm off spin. Soumil, at times, turned the ball prodigiously and bowled with considerable guile for someone so young. He is a player of immense potential being selected in the New South Wales Under 19 side this year and the Club expects that he will, in due course, gain higher honours. Morgan Clune: Left arm orthodox spin bowler/right hand batsman. Morgan joined the team for its last three matches. While only 17 years old, he is a physically imposing player, although he had few opportunities to display his all-round talents. A number of keen judges at the Club rate him highly and predict a very big future for him. We will watch with interest his development over the next few years. Shaun Eaton: Right arm medium fast bowler/right hand batsman. Shaun had an outstanding season being the team's top run-scorer and wicket taker with 224 runs at an average of 32 and 9 wickets at 21.3. These figures, coupled with his brilliant slips fielding made him one of the stars of the summer. Nathan Ellis: Right arm medium fast bowler/right hand batsman. Because of HSC studies and schoolies commitments, Nathan had an interrupted season and didn't bowl as much as he would otherwise have liked. He is, however, undoubtedly a fast bowler of real quality, destined to play 1st Grade. Together with Daniel Sams and Hayden McLean, he will form, next year, a lethal triumvirate of pace bowlers. Brandon McLean: Right arm leg spin bowler/right hand batsman. Brandon is a tough, uncompromising cricketer: the sort of person you would like to have by your side in the trenches. He is also an unselfish cricketer and a fine team man. Besides being the team's second top wicket-taker with eight wickets he made a handy contribution with the bat scoring 125 runs at 32.3. Hayden McLean: Right arm medium bowler/right hand batsman. Hayden's season was also interrupted to some extent by his HSC studies. Hayden possesses the same fighting qualities as his brother Brandon. Equally as important he is wholehearted in everything he does and a joy to captain. Hayden is a 1st Grade player in the making and has a bright future at the Club. Daniel Sams: Left arm fast bowler/right hand batsman. At the start of the season Daniel was regarded more as a strike bowler than an all-rounder. That notion was put to bed in the third round of the competition against Bankstown when, under enormous pressure, chasing 281 runs to win, Daniel compiled a brilliant and, at times, brutal 143 not out, carrying the side to an improbable victory. Those who saw the innings will not forget it in a hurry. Daniel will again be available next season to lead the bowling attack and, hopefully, provide more fireworks in the middle order. Jake Scicluna: Right hand batsman. Jake joined the team from the Central Coast this year and immediately established his reputation as a polished opener being selected in the New South Wales Under 19 team. Jake is also a superb out-fielder and his talent in this area was on display in every match. Again, happily for the Club, Jake is eligible to play Poidevin Gray for the next three years and he will be one of the team's batting mainstays for some time to come. Dylan Smith: Right arm medium bowler/right hand batsman. Dylan had limited opportunity to shine in the early part of the season in the T20’s because he was batting down the order. However, in the 50 over matches Dylan was able to display his talents with bat and ball. The highlights of his season were his controlled swing bowling against Western Suburbs where he took 1 for 29 off 8 overs and his 41 not out and 31 against Northern District and Sutherland respectively, in which he helped us to almost snatch victory from the jaws of defeat in both matches. A fine fieldsman, Dylan can be well pleased with his season.

53 Shane Smith: Right arm off-spinner/right hand batsman. Shane scored 156 runs at an average of 39 and took 4 wickets at 24. Shane (the younger brother of Dylan) is an extremely talented cricketer - he is also a State age representative hockey player. Initially batting in the middle order, Shane accepted the challenge of opening the innings and displayed on more than one occasion, his rare ability as a pure hitter of the cricket ball. Undoubtedly, the high point of his season was his 94 runs against Western Suburbs where he clinically took apart, what was at the time, a near 1st Grade bowling attack. Again, the good news for the Club is that Shane is also eligible to play Poidevin Gray for the next two years. Duncan Hunt, Kushaal Ram, Mitch Jones, Andy Coles and Nathan Stares: These players were part of the PG’S squad. Kushaal played in two matches and Duncan in one. Both distinguished themselves with their enthusiasm and commitment. The Club is blessed to have players of their calibre, attitude and loyalty. All players are eligible to play Poidevin Gray next year.

Summary of Matches 2012-13 Round 1 TWENTY20 v Sydney @ Coogee Oval Sun 14 Oct 2012 Won by 8 wkts: 2-123 to 120 Sydney batted first and was quickly in trouble with Shaun Eaton picking up two wickets. With run-outs to Daniel Sams and Jake Scicluna and a wicket each to Soumil Chhibber(1-18) and Nathan Ellis (1-17) the score-line slumped to 6-64. Some lusty hitting at the end saw Brandon McLean (2-22), Daniel Sams (1-21) and Eaton (3-14 off 4) clean-up in 19.4 overs. In reply it was one-way traffic with Eaton (15 off 11 balls); Jake Scicluna (46 off 39) and skipper Nick Stapleton (42 off 46) wrap up the match in just 16.1 overs.

Round 2 TWENTY20 v Easts @ Coogee Oval Sun 4 Nov 2012 Won by 7 wkts: 3-100 to 96 After losing the toss opening bowlers Shaun Eaton (1-17 from 4 overs) and Daniel Sams (2-13 from 3) blew the Eastern Suburbs top order away reducing them to 3 for 6. From this position RPC were always on top taking wickets consistently to see Easts all out for 96 in 20 overs. Spinners Brandon McLean (2-11 from 3) and Shayne Smith (2-13 from 2) were particularly effective. In reply Eaton and Jake Scicluna got RPC off to a flyer taking the score to 28 before Scicluna went for 7 but skipper Nick Stapleton (24 from 27 balls) and Eaton (30 from 20) continued to punish the Easts attack before Eaton went with the score on 55. Sams came to the crease and took the attack up to the bowlers scoring a brisk 27 from 21 balls before he was unluckily out with the scores tied, leaving Stapleton to knock the winning runs off in the 13th over.

Round 3 LIMITED OVERS v Bankstown @Bankstown Sun 11 Nov 2012 Won by 6 wkts: 4-286 to 3-281 It was an innings of sheer brilliance. With a huge chase to win, former Bankstown fast bowler Daniel Sams was at his best with the bat for his new club breaking the club’s PG highest score record with 143* off 112 balls which included 10 fours and 9 mighty sixes. He and Shaun Eaton (66 off 49 balls with 4 fours and 5 sixes) put on 148 for the 4th wicket (22 short of the club record) before Brandon McLean joined Sams in an unconquered partnership of 45 to win in just 43.2 overs. With Jake Scicluna (26) and Shayne Smith (22 off 18 balls) off to a flyer the innings finished with 19 fours and 15 sixes. Earlier the Bulldogs had belted each of the 8 bowlers used to post a score which seemed unsurmountable after their Ben Smith had scored 159 with 8 fours and 9 sixes. The win put RPC into 3rd position in the competition.

Round 4 LIMITED OVERS v St George @ Hurstville Sun 18 Nov 2012 Lost by 75 runs: 155 to 4-230 Winning the toss Saints were away to a flyer hitting 88 in the first 85 minutes before both openers were lost on that score. And while the bowling was tight wickets were hard to come by with Soumil Chhibber’s 2-32 off 10 overs the best return. In response four of our big guns were gone with the score just 23 before skipper Nick Stapleton (50) and all-rounder Brandon McLean (40) set a new 5th wicket partnership record of 95 to give us a glimmer of hope. However, when they went the innings folded quite quickly with the last 5 wickets falling for 21 for a disappointing loss with 6.4 overs remaining.

54

Round 5 LIMITED OVERS v Wests @Petersham Sun 9 Dec 2012 Won by 69 runs: 8-227 to 158 Shayne Smith was away to a flyer and with solid support from Nick Stapleton (23) and Shaun Eaton (26) a good score was assured. With 94 of the first 156 runs including 6 boundaries and 5 sixes it was disappointing that Smith missed out on a well-earned ton. Soumil Chhibber (24) was handy at the end. In reply Wests lost 5 for 14 after being 1-58 before a 55 partnership put some respectability into the score. The last 4 wickets fell for 31 giving us a decisive win. Dylan Smith (1-29 off 8) bowled well along with Stapleton (2-12), Eaton (2-22) and Brandon McLean (2-43).

Round 6 LIMITED OVERS v Northern District @Petersham Sun 16 Dec 2012 Lost by 1 run: 9-191 to 9-192 It was a real nail biter at Petersham Oval with the result not going the way we would have hoped. Northern District batted first and posted 9 - 192 after 50 overs with Daniel Sams (3-34 from 9 overs) and Shaun Eaton (2-30 from 10 overs) the chief wicket takers. The run chase got off to a flyer as Shayne Smith (24 from 19 balls) was able to find the boundary early, but ND’s were able to strike and then turn the screws as RPC stumbled to 7-93. Dylan Smith (41 not out) was able to find assistance from the lower order with Soumil Chhibber (26) and Jarryd Biviano (16) batting with good skill. With one over to go we needed 14. Unfortunately, even with Hayden McLean striking a massive six down the ground, RPC finished 1 run short at 9-191. The loss pushed us from 5th place to 8th with the final match against the competition leaders Sutherland.

Round 7 LIMITED OVERS v Sutherland @ Glenn McGrath Sat 5 Jan 2013 Lost by 3 runs: 8-265 to 7-268 Sutherland had first use of a good pitch in warm sunny conditions and took full advantage of their toss win by hitting up an excellent total. Tight bowling had them struggling at 4-144 off 35 overs and it was only in the later overs their stroke-makers got on top. Hayden McLean’s 1- 21 off 8 overs was ideal while big brother Brandon also did well with 2-47 off 9. Two wickets in three balls with the score on 13 didn’t help the RPC run-chase but a good 77 run partnership between Jake Scicluna (27) and Shaun Eaton got the score to 3-90. When Eaton went for a dominating 87 off 90 RPC was on target with Brandon McLean (46 off 71) and Dylan Smith (31 off 42) batting well. At 7-231 Nathan Ellis joined Soumil Chhibber and the pair took the score to 263 with 2 balls to go and 6 needed. Chhibber (24 off 15) unfortunately holed out and Kushaal Ram could only manage 2 from the last ball leaving RPC a frustrating 3 runs short to end its season.

55 A W Green Shield (under 16 years) by Eddie Otto, Team Coach Position in Competition: 12th 3 wins; 3 losses; 1 draw

Randwick Petersham's AW Green Shield side enjoyed a year of progress finishing with 3 wins, 3 losses and a draw. After winning our first 3 games in commanding style, we lost momentum and finished missing the finals by just one game. Ultimately it was batting shortcomings which caused us to miss a finals spot as middle order collapses plagued our last 3 games. The SCA's mind boggling fixture list of a 60 over game every two days for two weeks in the heat finally took its toll as the injuries mounted up and the boys hobbled to the finish line.

While we finished just short of the finals overall the season can be gauged as a success and a big improvement on the previous campaign. There were a number of positives to come out of the year which started with the trials way back in August 2012.

The team's best performance of the season was a memorable win over reigning premiers St. George at Petersham Oval. With Saints always a very strong side, our boys produced the perfect team performance with Sam Wood collecting 4 wickets and Tom Evans scoring a gutsy 50 against his old side. The win was capped off by a wonderful 91 from captain Henry Thornton. The team's bowling and fielding was of the standard of a finals team throughout the campaign. The catching and ground fielding was fantastic through the first 5 games with a number of great infield and outfield catches.

There were many excellent individual performances from our senior players this season which helped drive the team. One of the best was Tom Evans’ 5 wicket haul and hat-trick against local rivals Easts at Waverley Oval. Henry Thornton, Sam Wood and Tom Evans had great series with bat and ball, while Ravin De Silva and Connor Sykes-Morrison led the way in ensuring we were off to a flying start to the season. The younger players also contributed when given a chance. We had a total of seven first year players who have another AW Green Shield next season. These boys have had a taste of it now and will form the basis of next year’s side. I must commend the boys who only played a couple of games for their attitude and team spirit. It’s not easy being on the bench but their time to shine will come next year.

The leadership of Henry Thornton and vice-captain Rehaan Nawaz was very impressive and greatly influenced the sides’ energetic catching and fielding displays. Their constant encouragement and inclusion of all team mates forced some of the younger players to express themselves and take their chance when it came. The team ranked highly on the Spirit of Cricket table and represented the club with distinction throughout the series. The overall team spirit was fantastic.

With the Green Shield competition being so condensed and competitive it took a great team of support staff to provide the boys with an environment where they could play good cricket and enjoy themselves. The support of fellow coach David Skuthorpe and Darren Smith gave the boys the best chance to prepare at training and focus on game day. “Skewies” has now been involved in the past 5 AW Green Shield campaigns and his willingness to invest in the club's future players over the years has been terrific. The boys love having him around. Smithy's warm up's set the tone for each match and were full of enthusiasm and passion. His notebook for individual players was also a hit with the players.

And a big thank-you to Team Manager Aden Nawaz who proved to be an excellent organiser. Aden's hard work ensured match days went off like clockwork and the coaches and players only had to worry about on-field matters. Aden helped organize a great team dinner at the end of the season and was very generous with some of the prizes he gave out to thank everyone for their contribution. The support of the parents was also greatly appreciated. To those who again unselfishly helped with the scoring throughout the season, we are very thankful. To those parents who spent almost all January driving kids around Sydney, helping with afternoon teas and supporting them during the games I thank you. It's a great commitment and makes for a great atmosphere at the games with you all present.

It has been a very enjoyable experience working with this year's AW Green Shield. It is refreshing to work with kids who are playing for the love of the game. Many of the boys are already playing lower grades and Metro Cup and I'm sure their experiences in this season’s competition will only solidify their will to play for our club into the future. I wish all the boys the best with their cricket in the future and hopefully in Randwick Petersham colors for years to come. I look forward to working with next year’s side and building on what we achieved this season.

Hat Trick!! Tom Evans was brought on to bowl against Easts in the A W Green Shield match at Waverley Oval with immediate success. The young off-spinner had the Easts no. 5 adjudged lbw, clean bowled the new batsman first ball then rapped the next man in on the pads to have the umpire raise his finger for Evans to complete a hat-trick! It was the first hat-trick in A W Green Shield since Shahzad Ali took one also against Easts over 11 years ago in January 2002 and the 14th for the club. The Easts score slumped from 5-80 to 8-80 before they were out for 113 giving RPC a comprehensive victory by 183 runs. Evans finished with 5-37 off 9.3 overs. It was only the 9th time a bowler had taken 5 wickets in an innings for Randwick Petersham in A W Green Shield.

Summary of Matches Round 1 v Sydney @ Petersham Fri 4 Jan 2013 Won by 122 runs: 9-221 to 99 Sent in to bat the first four gave the side a great start despite the captain Henry Thornton going for a duck. Ravin De Silva (72) did best while Savio Gracias Flor (29) and ‘keeper Adam Docos (28) helped set the scene for a competitive total. Sam Wood (35) and William Lawrance (25) also batted well. In the run chase Thornton (2-18) made up for missing out with the bat to have the Tigers reeling at 2 for 3. When Connor Sykes-Morrison (3-7 off 6 overs) went through the middle order it was left to Sam Wood (1-18), Tom Evans (1-10) and de Silva (2-5) to clean up for a decisive win. Round 2 v Easts @ Waverley Sun 6 Jan 2013 Won by 6 wkts: 4-296 to 113 The advantage Easts believed it had by sending RPC in to bat quickly dissipated when openers Ravin De Silva (72) and Savio Gracias Flor (64) put on a club record 137 for the 1st wicket. Skipper Henry Thornton (84*) and Sam Wood (32*) then rubbed salt into the wound by putting on an undefeated 96 for the 5th wicket to give RPC a new highest total record surpassing the previous top mark by 32. Wood (2-5) and Connor Sykes-Morrison (2-21) quickly broke through with 2 wickets each with Thornton picking up one to have the Dolphins reeling at 5-22. While the score climbed to 5-80 the introduction of Tom Evans brought about a hat-trick and put the issue quickly beyond doubt with the off-spinner taking the final 5 wickets for 37 off 9.3 overs. The Winning margin of 183 runs was one of the highest in the club’s history. Round 4 v St George @ Petersham Thurs 10 Jan 2013 Won by 4 wkts: 6-172 to 8-171 Last season’s wicket-keeper Sam Wood excelled in his new role of opening bowler with a fantastic display of 4-16 off 12 overs to break the back of the Saints batting. He was well supported by newcomer Cooper Smith (2-15) and Rehaan Nawaz (2-28) while the 5 other bowlers used all contained the batsmen to restrict them to a 172 target. The run chase began disastrously with the first 3 back in the pavilion with just 20 on the board. A new 4th wicket partnership of 139 between skipper Henry Thornton (92) and Tom Evans (50) defying the St George attack for 40 overs changed the complexion of the game. After Thornton was caught on the boundary to miss out on a worthy century, Evans and Wood quickly followed as the score plunged to 6-164. Nawaz (8 off 8) however, quickly put the issue beyond doubt to complete a sensational victory Round 5 v Sutherland @ Coogee Sun 13 Jan 2013 Match drawn: 6-80 to 141 A top-of-the-table clash with afternoon storms prevented a result. Sutherland won the toss and batted but was soon in trouble against some tight bowling. Only two batsmen got into the 20’s in the 54 overs it took to score 141. Sam Wood (3-23 off 10 overs), Henry Thornton (2-26 off 11) and Ravin De Silva (2-24 off 11) did best with the ball while Tom Evans was hard to get away conceding only 20 runs off 8 overs for one wicket. The Sharks made early inroads as the storm approached reducing us to 5-45. After a lengthy rain delay Wood (28*) and Evans (12) took to the bowling in an effort to chase down the revised target of 113 in 32 overs under the Duckworth Lewis formula. However at 6-80 and in bad light the game was called off after 28.3 overs resulting in a drawn result. It left 6 teams equal on points with us top of the ladder on NRR. Round 6 v Northern Dist. @ Coogee Tues 15 Jan 2013 Lost by 125 runs: 135 to 3-260 It was a tough day for our bowlers in perfect batting conditions and the target ND’s set was an imposing one. Connor Sykes-Morrison was the pick of the bowlers with an unlucky 0-28 off 11 overs. In reply we were quickly 3-7 then 5-22 with it all to do. A 61 run partnership for the 6th wicket between Sam Wood (24) and Julian Dimas (37) looked promising but when they went it was left to Rehaan Nawaz (24) and Sykes- Morrison (18) to move the score along before the inevitable. A disappointing day all round. Round 7 v Western Subs. @ Pratten Thurs 17 Jan 2013 Lost by 4 wkts: 160 to 6-161 Sent in to bat we were immediately behind the eight-ball with a wicket lost first ball. First timer Aolei Yu enjoyed his stint at the top of the order hitting 18 from 63 balls with one four and a six. He and William Lawrance (48) put on 49 for the second wicket. When Henry Thornton went for 32 the score however, had slumped to 5-113 and despite some big hitting at the end the final total of 160 did not look enough. For a team at the bottom of the table without a win Wests showed plenty of resolve and ran down the target with more than 2 overs to spare. Rahaan Nawaz with 2-27 recorded the best figures while Connor Sykes-Morrison with 1-20 off 10 overs was once again unlucky.

Round 3 v Bankstown @ Jensen Sun 20 Jan 2013 Lost by 125 runs: 109 to 9-234 This and all other round 3 matches originally scheduled for Tues 8 January were postponed due to forecast heatwave conditions which subsequently reached 43 degrees Sydney-wide on the day. With the match played as the last of the season it was a game we needed to win to make the Final Series. Sent in to bat Bankstown were never in any real trouble with a number of RPC’s key bowlers not lining up or under a fitness cloud. The first 3 batsmen put on 123 and the remainder capitalised on their good start to set a solid total. Savio Gracias Flor (2-20 off 12 overs) and Henry Thornton (2-28 off 12) bowling off a restricted run-up returned the best figures. In the run chase we never really threatened with wickets falling every 10 runs or so. Only Tom Evans (31*) was able to rescue anything from the demolition which was completed in 45.4 overs to wind up our season after a promising start. It was a disappointing finish for a talented team.

59 A Dedicated Man The Denis Hinds Story

Cricket is a fortunate game. Fortunate to have Denis Hinds helping it along. Whether as player, mentor, advisor, organiser or developer of junior talent, Denis Hinds has given it a lifetime of dedication and commitment. And he continues to do so despite the fact that many others of his era have long hung up their boots. So far as Denis is concerned Saturday in summer should be renamed “Cricketday” because that’s how it has been for him over the past 40 odd years.

A wily left-arm orthodox spin bowler, 21 years old Denis took the first of his 938 Sydney Grade Cricket wickets when he joined the now defunct in 1972. He made his 1st Grade debut in 1976-77 in a team which included one of the legends of the game in Rick McCosker, before finishing his term with Sydney as 2nd Grade captain.

Hinds linked up with Randwick in 1985-86 shortly after Sydney was dropped from the 1st Grade competition. He was an instant hit with “The ‘Wicks” bagging two 5 wicket hauls in his first two matches in 4th Grade followed by 3 for 19 in his only 3rd Grade game before becoming a regular in 2’s. To top off a great season with his new club, he went on to play 1st Grade where he took 4 for 49.

In the past 27 years, Denis Hinds has achieved an imposing Randwick / Randwick Petersham record. Not only has he won his team’s bowling aggregate on 13 occasions and the bowling average 6 times, but he has taken a massive 617 grade wickets in the process at the impressive average of 16.53. He was the leading 4th Grade bowler in each of Randwick Petersham’s first three seasons while his 37 wickets in 2002-03 was the top performance in the whole of the 4th Grade competition. His effort that season enabled the club to record its first premiership win. And at the celebrations after the final, there was not a more excited premiership winner than the little spinner known affectionately as “Groucho”!

Over the great number of years he has applied his craft, Denis Hinds has been responsible for many outstanding performances. His 8 for 53 against Penrith in the 1990-91 4th Grade semi-final was a feature while in the 1995-96 3rd Grade Grand Final against Sydney University he bowled 48 successive overs with 18 maidens in taking 6 for 86 to give Randwick the premiership. It is arguable however, that without diminishing the brilliance or importance of those special moments on the cricket field, his finest moments have occurred during the past few seasons in the ranks of the Metropolitan Cup where he has directed his energy towards the future of the club’s many young up-and-coming players.

His first season in the Metropolitan Cup was 2005-06 when he played 9 games. In the seasons which have followed he has captained both of the club’s teams varying his presence as a means of balancing the sides. Four times he has led the “Green” team while twice he was at the helm of “Gold”. Content to “direct traffic” on the field to ensure every opportunity is presented to the youngsters to develop their game, he takes the ball only on those occasions when the situation calls for his guile and experience. And despite his advancing years his leadership and cricket expertise remain in demand as evidenced by his recall to skipper a couple of 5th Grade matches this season.

Denis’ outstanding contribution to the game and the club was formally acknowledged in 2006 when he was made the 43rd Life Member of Randwick Petersham. It was a fitting tribute to a true gentleman of the game who has always played with fairness and honour. And apart from being a practical contributor to the club he has also made a financial commitment as a regular team sponsor and advertiser on behalf of his legal firm.

A statistical analysis of Denis Hinds’ on-field performances makes interesting reading. His overall career wicket record stands at 1,050…453 for Randwick, 320 for Sydney, 165 for Randwick Petersham and 112 in Metropolitan Cup. Of his 938 Grade wickets, he has 38 in 1st Grade, 227 in 2nds, 237 in 3rds, 383 in 4th Grade and 53 in Fives. This tally covers a period of 40 years between his first Grade Cricket wicket in 1972 and his most recent in 2012 which means he took his first at age 21 and his last at age 61.

Contrary to popular belief Denis was no slouch with the bat, particular in his younger days when he scored 1,986 of his career 3,159 runs with Sydney CC. In those days he opened the batting or in the first few although with only a single half-century to his name it was no surprise he concentrated on his bowling as the years wore on. In his later years however, he showed a glimpse of his batting prowess when he hit 56 in a Metro Cup match.

Test cricketers are the product of grass-roots cricket programs developed under the watchful eyes of dedicated mentors. Should a player emerge from the club’s Metropolitan Cup ranks in the years ahead to don the Baggy Green of Australia there is every likelihood he will do so with the Denis Hinds polish and stamp of approval. 60 The Award Winners 2012-13

PLAYER OF THE SEASON The O A Taylor / Martin Bedkober Memorial Award Sponsored by former Randwick 1st Grade fast bowler Paul Fitzgerald of Hampstead Homes Ossie Taylor served Randwick as a player and administrator for 64 years before his death in 1976. He scored more than 4,500 runs and was Secretary for a record 19 years. The O A Taylor Memorial Player of the Season Award was first presented by Randwick 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.

Ben Marciante At just 21 years of age Ben Marciante has all the attributes to be a long-term and outstanding 1st Grade cricketer. An attacking left hand bat and fast-medium right arm bowler, the youngster joined Randwick Petersham from the Helensburgh Cricket Club where he had been Player of the Season the previous two years. He had also played with Sutherland where he made his 1st Grade debut. After scoring 241 runs and taking 13 wickets in 2nd Grade including performances of 81 and 5-21, Ben made his 1st Grade debut with Randwick Petersham in round 8 against Hawkesbury at Coogee. But it was the replay of last year’s Grand Final against Sydney University where Marciante made his mark taking a timely wicket. Brought on to bowl Ben immediately broke a troublesome partnership which triggered a collapse and saw Uni. eventually all out for 109 to lose the match to Randwick Petersham by one run. Called into the side on the morning of the 1st Grade Qualifying Final against Sutherland at Glenn McGrath Oval, Ben proved to be one of the stars in the team’s solid win. Coming to the crease with the score a bit shaky at 6-151 chasing 207, Marciante batted with skipper Adam Semple for almost 2 hours while the pair put on an unconquered 61 to ensure a good win. Ben finished with 31 off 83 balls to complete a fine double having taken 2-35 with the ball. With 476 runs and 30 wickets for the season including 131 runs and 8 wickets in 1st Grade Ben Marciante returned the third highest aggregate in the batting and second highest in the bowling for the season. His continued development will be followed with great interest in the seasons ahead.

CLUBMAN OF THE YEAR - PLAYER The Tim Towers / Stuart Gardner Memorial Award Sponsored by Harry Solomons through Kingsgrove Sports Tim Towers was a left hand fast bowler with Randwick. He died in 1991 from cancer aged 36. Tim took 233 wickets in 11 seasons and played in Randwick’s 1977-78 and 1979-80 1st Grade premiership teams. The Tim Towers Clubman of the Year was first presented by Randwick 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 2,000 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.

Adam Semple It will be no surprise to anyone that Adam Semple has been named Randwick Petersham Clubman of the Year. In a season when no-one expected our 1st Grade team to be a real force following the departure of more than half the side from the previous year including four first- class players, it was an amazing outcome for Adam to lead his young inexperienced charges to a spot in the Semi-Final. The fact the team won the 1st Grade Spirit of Cricket Award emphasised his leadership value. Fittingly named captain after a most successful 2011-12, Semple began the season in style taking out the State Challenge Shield by defeating the country champions Illawarra in the prestigious event on the eve of the Sydney Grade Cricket season. It was the third trophy for the Randwick Petersham 1st Grade team in a little over a season and Adam Semple was an integral part of each premiership. As a senior member of the team he led with flair and distinction bringing out the best in the many players who made their debut in the top side. Eight of those players were under 21 years of age. His form also attracted the attention of the NSW selectors and he was picked in an early-season Second XI match where he celebrated with a magnificent 103 not out. He followed up in a subsequent match with scores of 73 not out and 56 not out. Adam joined Randwick Petersham from the Central Coast in the 2006-07 season and in each of the seasons since has been a leading contributor in the side with both bat and ball. He had his most successful season in 2011-12 when he scored 837 runs including an amazing 23 sixes and took 17 wickets. It was a performance which rightly won him the Player of The Season Award. In the 7 seasons he has been with the club he has been the most outstanding all-rounder in 1st Grade scoring 2,802 runs while taking 109 wickets. Adam’s involvement and association with the club has been a real family affair with mum Faye and father Brian on hand at most games to cheer on the boys while providing a much appreciated helping hand in the match day chores.

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.

Neale Anderson Neale Anderson has been the club’s Head of Marketing and Sponsorship for the last three seasons having taken over from Greg Hartshorne in 2009-10. In that time he has grown the sponsorship pie significantly with the sponsorship and donation dollar in 2012-13 rising to $80k up from the previous season’s $60k. He has been responsible for major sponsorships with BT, Bendigo Bank, Picketts Health plus a host of smaller sponsorships and has maintained a strong relationship with long term sponsor and friend Petersham RSL. His work has involved knocking on corporate and commercial doors seeking sponsors at a time when the sponsorship dollar has been hard to obtain. Neale was just 13 when he played his first 4th Grade match with Petersham-Marrickville in 1975-76. By the time he was 16 he had made his 1st Grade debut. He scored 306 in the top grade the following summer and played his first 1st Grade semi-final. A player with a sound technique, his 9 seasons in 1st Grade netted him 2,461 runs from 106 games. In 1985-86 he was captain of the First XI continuing until the end of the 1986-87 season. When he retired as a player at the end of 1989-90 he had scored 4,303 runs in all grades during his 15 seasons. Apart from being an outstanding player Anderson was a valued administrator joining the Management Committee in 1985 and serving until 1996. He was made a life member of Petersham-Marrickville in 1992 and was President during 1995-96. Neale is now a major contributor to Randwick Petersham and his input at Management Committee meetings is highly valued as has been his involvement with Marrickville Council regarding the use of Petersham Oval. The Clubman of the Year–Non Player award was well deserved as Neale’s efforts in securing increased sponsorship have greatly assisted our financial position which suffered during the global financial crisis. .

MOST PROMISING PLAYER IN THE CLUB The Keith Austin Memorial Award Sponsored by club supporter James Wynn on behalf of JWI Advisory 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 and continued for 61 years before being withdrawn by the family in 2011. In recognition of the Austin family’s outstanding contribution for more than half a century the club has been able to maintain this award through a generous sponsorship from club supporter James Wynn.

Daniel Sams Daniel Sams is an outstanding young cricketer who joined us this season from Bankstown. A brother of 1st Grade wicket-keeper Anthony Sams, the 19 years old all-rounder made his club debut in Round 1 against Northern District at Mark Taylor Oval. Batting number 7 with the score a shaky 5-126 he departed 114 runs later after making 72 off 127 balls with 10 fours. It proved to be a winning batting effort as Randwick Petersham won the game by 29 runs. He followed up with 59 in the next match against Parramatta while his 3-30 against Wests in round 3 enabled his team to start the season with 3 wins from 3 games. However, it was his batting in the third Poidevin-Gray under 21 match of the season which emphasised his attacking brilliance with bat in hand. With a huge 282 to win at Bankstown Oval, Daniel was at his best breaking the club’s PG highest score record with 143 not out off 112 balls which included 10 fours and 9 mighty sixes. His performance won the match with 7 overs to spare. His batting flair was again on show in the Limited Overs Qualifying Final against University of NSW when he scored 73 off just 83 balls in a disappointing team total of just 136. He finished the season with 398 runs in 1st Grade and 210 in PG’s. Throughout the season Sams bowled a consistent line and length adding plenty of fire with his left-armers. He was a regular wicket-taker as his 27 1st Grade wickets indicate. His best return was 5-28 against Mosman while he took 3 wickets in an innings on 5 occasions. Daniel Sams is the complete package and no doubt NSW selectors will follow his progress with much interest.

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 has been Chairman of Selectors since 2001-02.

Adam Pustetto Seventeen years old Adam Pustetto really stepped it up this year. At times he absolutely dominated the opposition opening bowlers with drives on both sides of the wicket. He opens the batting with flare and several times looked a couple of grades higher than everyone else. As with most aggressive bats his aggression can also be his downfall but he has a desire to work on that and play a mid-innings where the bowlers get cagey and work out traps for him. He finished with 281 runs at 25.54 and earned the couple of chances he got in 5ths. He is no slouch in the field with a very safe pair of hands on the edge of the circle. Like all batsmen he reckons he is a good leg spinner but struggles to convince at least one of his skippers. He is a good team player and can look forward to promotion next season if he puts in the effort. In all matches this summer Adam scored 346 runs making it into 12th place in the list of the club’s top 20 batting performers.

MOST IMPROVED LOWER GRADE PLAYER The Burke and Davies Families Award Sponsored by former Randwick batsmen 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 semis. He died in May 2002.

Thomas Holland In a career that has spanned 6 seasons with Randwick Petersham Tom has had to deal with two knee re-constructions which prevented him being able to put together a consistent string of matches. With the second of his knee re-constructions coming at the end of season 2011-12, he was not due back on the paddock until the second half of season 2012-13 but through his hard work and dedication he took the field for Metro Green in Round 3 were he compiled a solid 86. Tom was immediately moved up to 4th Grade were he posted unconquered scores of 53 and 74 in successive matches batting in the middle order. This form was too hard to ignore and promotion to 3rd Grade saw more runs from his blade before he was selected to make his 2nd Grade debut in Round 10. Returning to 4th Grade at the back-end of the season in an effort to help the side in its finals quest, Tom was dismissed for the first time in 4th Grade in Round 14 after posting 163 runs. In a great season, Tom compiled a total of 396 runs in all Grades and the Metro Cup at a fantastic average of 44.00, including an average of 93.00 in 4th Grade. Tom is a great example to all players that putting in the hard work at training will see the rewards on game day. Higher Grade cricket is definitely on the cards for Tom Holland in the near future.

BEST POIDEVIN GRAY PLAYER The Clive Johnston Memorial Award Sponsored by former Petersham-Marrickville 1st Grade father and son batsmen John and 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. Shaun Eaton Shaun Eaton was clearly the star of this season’s Poidevin-Gray team heading both the batting and bowling aggregates. An 18 years old right hand all-rounder and excellent slips fielder, Shaun joined us from the Mosman club this season and quickly showed he was a player of unlimited potential. He started the summer in 2nd Grade but in round 2 was called in to make his 1st Grade debut. In the first PG game of the season Shaun was off to a flyer taking 3-14 and scoring 15 off 11 balls in a Twenty20 match against Sydney which resulted in an 8 wickets win. He had another good double against Wests with a hard-hit 26 and 2-22 with the ball. His 2-30 off 10 overs versus Northern District was a superb effort and it was disappointing that the game was lost by a solitary run. In another heart-breaking narrow loss, this time by 3 runs against Sutherland, Eaton did everything possible to take the points with a fantastic 87 off 90 balls in 102 minutes with 11 fours and 2 sixes. He showed he had a liking for the Sutherland bowlers when just a few weeks later he hit his maiden 1st Grade century when he slammed 117 off just 90 balls with 13 fours and 6 sixes at Coogee. In all matches this season (1st, 2nd, T20 and PG’s) Shaun scored 674 runs and took 23 wickets in an outstanding debut season with Randwick Petersham.

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 a member of the Randwick Petersham ”Legends”. Sadly Len passed away on 7 November 2012 aged 85 years.

Henry Thornton Henry Thornton had an outstanding season in the A W Green Shield competition this season as batsman, bowler and captain. He topped the batting with 224 runs at an average of 37.33 while his 7 wickets with his medium-pacers cost 21.86 from 67 overs. In the first match against Sydney at Petersham Henry was out for a duck but made up for it in the next match when he smashed the Easts attack for an undefeated 84 as part of a new club record 5th wicket partnership of 96. Not content with that record Thornton had his name up in lights again next game setting a new 4th wicket partnership record of 139 with Tom Evans against St George during which they defied the attack for 40 overs. That performance changed the changed the complexion of the game with the side going on to record an impressive 4 wickets win. Unfortunately for Henry he was caught on the boundary to miss out on a worthy century finishing with 92 made in 154 minutes. With the ball Thornton regularly opened the bowling with instant success such as his 2 wickets against Sydney to have them reeling at 2 for 3 indicates. In the match against Sutherland he was particularly tight taking 2-26 off 11 accurate overs. He took his good bowling form into the grade ranks recording a magnificent 5 for 9 against Manly in 4th Grade forcing them to slump from 3-46 to 9-59 chasing 98 before being dismissed for a paltry 76 and give his side an unexpected win. At the end of the season Henry was named in the NSW under 17 years Academy for 2013-14. Henry is a very worthy winner of this award in a year when the donor Len Cartwright passed away having presented this award for the past 39 years.

BEST A W GREEN SHIELD PERFORMANCE The Col Hollingsworth Memorial Award Sponsored by Randwick’s first Test player and NSW captain 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.

Tom Evans Another fine all-rounder in the making. Tom Evans had a solid Green Shield season with 131 runs at an average of 21.83 and 7 wickets averaging 21.14. A middle-order batsman and off-spin bowler Tom figured in some features of the season. Brought on to bowl against Easts in the match at Waverley Oval the young off-spinner had the no. 5 batsman adjudged lbw, clean bowled the new batsman first ball then rapped the next man in on the pads to have the umpire raise his finger for Evans to complete a hat- trick! It was the 14th hat-trick for the club and the first in A W Green Shield since Shahzad Ali took one also against Easts over 11 years ago. Easts slumped from 5-80 to 8-80 before they were out for 113 giving us a victory by 183 runs. Evans finished with 5-37 off 9.3 overs. It was only the 9th time a bowler had taken 5 wickets in an innings for the club in A W Green Shield. With the bat Tom set a new 4th wicket partnership record with skipper Henry Thornton when the pair put on 139 against St George to record a good win. Evans scored 50 in 149 minutes underlining his outstanding powers of concentration. While the final game against Bankstown was a bit of a disaster for the team Tom managed to top-score with 31 not out batting at no.7. Tom also made an outstanding Grade Cricket debut this summer scoring 64 and taking 5-18 against Northern District at Storey Park. He finished the Grade season with 212 runs and 17 wickets in 4th and 5th grades. Tom is an outstanding prospect.

THE FIELDING AWARD The Johnny Martin Memorial Award Sponsored by Talisman Marketing through former Randwick batsman 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 3,500 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. Jake Scicluna Jake Scicluna has an excellent work ethic. He spends every day working hard on all aspects of his game, including his fielding. Jake is a remarkable fielder. He has terrific hands, great speed and anticipation, as well as a deadly throwing arm. He is one of those fielders who can turn a game with a flash of brilliance. We were fortunate to see that on a number of occasions during the season. The importance of great fielding is becoming a vital aspect of modern cricket and I doubt that there would be many fielders in New South Wales at any level of the game, who can match the standard Jake sets. Jake Scicluna holds a special place in the history of Randwick Petersham Cricket as he was the youngest behind Usman Khawaja in 2003-04 to make his 1st Grade debut with the club. At just 17 years of age he pulled on the baggy green cap for the first time in round 3 against Western Suburbs at . He finished the season in the Top 20 Performers list with 339 runs.

THE KEN DEVLIN AWARDS Ken Devlin is a member of Randwick Petersham “Legends”. He is husband to Madge 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: Shayne Smith—481 runs Joining us from the Sutherland club this season Shayne Smith had a fantastic summer. A hard-hitting batsman and off-spinner he topped the batting for the club with 500 runs (of which 481 qualified for this award) while he was in the top 20 wicket-takers for the season. In just his second game in 2nd Grade Shayne recorded a fine double against Parramatta when he hit 42 and 54. He followed up with 70 off just 85 balls against Wests, an innings which included 8 fours and 2 sixes. Those performances won him a game in the 1st Grade Twenty20 match against St George although he scored only 9. Probably his best effort was the 2nd Grade match against Sydney University where he scored 62 off 62 balls enabling his side to post a competitive score which saw them record a win against the students for the first time in 7 seasons. With 3 other scores in the thirties and a couple more in the forties, Shayne was one of the most consistent players in the club. He also starred in the Poidevin-Gray under 21 year’s competition where he hit 156 including a best score of 94 which contained 6 fours and 5 sixes. A son of former all-rounder Darren Smith who played for Randwick in the 1980’s and who is now on the club’s coaching staff, Shayne is an all-round sportsman being an excellent hockey player who represented NSW in the Australian under 18 years championships in 2012.

MOST WICKETS: Jake Wilson—25 wickets Jake Wilson has gone ahead in leaps and bounds since he joined our 1st Grade team from St George 3 seasons ago. A left arm genuine swing bowler there is an expectation that Jake can take a wicket whenever he has the ball in his hand. His performances over the past 3 summers have only been exceeded by his consistency returning season wicket hauls of 39, 41 and 41 to give him a total of 121 1st Grade wickets, the third highest behind Andrew Harrison (137) and James Byrne (126). Five times he has taken 5 wickets in an innings including 5-11 against Hawkesbury and 5-36 versus University of NSW this season. This season 25 of his season’s tally of 41 qualified him for this award. Being one of the competition’s top four bowlers, Jake was also named in the Sydney Cricket Association’s inaugural 1st Grade Merit XII. He was presented with a commemorative cap at the Premier’s Dinner in May 2013.

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.

Jarryd Biviano--most dismissals Jarryd Biviano joined us from Sutherland 3’s this season and started in our 2nd Grade. He worked very hard on his ‘keeping and was rewarded with a 1st Grade cap when Anthony Sams was injured. After receiving his baggy green cap from 1st Grade captain Adam Semple the 18 years old schoolboy wicketkeeper performed well in round 4 against Bankstown taking two catches while not conceding a single bye in two innings stretching over 75 overs. He carried that form back to 2’s where he finished the leading ‘keeper in the whole of the 2nd Grade competition finishing with 30 dismissals comprising 24 catches and 6 stumpings in 12 matches. By season’s end he had recorded 36 dismissals to be the leading wicketkeeper in the club and take out this award. He also conceded only 43 byes. Jarryd showed he is a player of all-round ability impressing with the bat in his debut 1st Grade match when he hit 46 off 77 balls with 8 fours and a six to feature in a partnership of 87 with Simon Katich (137).

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. Hayden McLean When a young player makes a decision to do everything within their power to better themselves, while at the same time becoming immersed in the full range of on and off field activities the club has to offer, then they are clearly totally committed. These qualities sum up Hayden McLean. He’s determined to achieve his goals and works extremely hard with the coaches to improve his game. In 2011-12 he was the club’s joint winner of the Most Improved Lower Grade Player which was emphasised this season when he won the 3rd Grade bowling aggregate just as he did the season before in 4th Grade. In the 3rd Grade match against Campbelltown-Camden at Raby 2 Hayden took 6-45 which his captain Matthew Hilder described in his annual report as “one of the most outstanding spells of swing bowling I have seen”. Hayden is an outstanding trainer who makes the sacrifices required to ensure he reaches the highest level possible in his chosen sport of cricket. He is a highly regarded player who gives his all to the club in every respect and is a worthy recipient of the Randwick Petersham Commitment Award.

65 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. Nathan Stares: Nathan has an amazing attitude to his cricket highlighted by the fact he was willing to bat where he was most needed be it at the top of the order or lower down. He bowled his spinners consistently and was always willing to take advice and try new things. He never let the pressure of the situation overwhelm him and he kept a great sense of humour and a cheeky smile when those around him were dropping their heads....all this from a young man who just turned 18. He had a very strong year in 5th Grade with 201 runs and 17 wickets culminating in a promotion to 4th Grade then 3rd Grade where he performed with distinction.

THE PETER ROLLS AWARD Peter Rolls is a Life Member of the club and a former 1st Grade player with Petersham-Marrickville. Sam Wood: Sam is an extremely promising all-rounder and a 1st grader of the future. He has the unique ability to swing the new ball both ways at will and can make batsmen bat the way he wants them to. He took some very important early wickets in this season’s A W Green Shield competition usually with batsmen not playing a shot or playing the wrong line and being out LBW. Sam is also a very talented batsmen with elegant strokes all around the wicket but needs to concentrate on the next ball he faces and not the previous one. His 10 Green Shield wickets topped the stats while his 143 runs was third on the list. A player with a great attitude he will only get better as the years go by.

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. Nathan Ellis: Nathan Ellis is a right arm swing bowler and handy middle order batsman on the rise. Although only 18 years of age he knows exactly what he is doing with the new ball setting up top order batsmen for the one swinging the other way at will. It is very rare for someone that age to be so skilful with a new ball. Nathan forced his way into 2nd Grade via runs and wickets in 3’s and a 1st Grade debut would not be out of the question in 2013-14. His enthusiasm was infectious within the 2nd Grade side and no-one enjoyed taking a wicket more than Nathan – he has a real passion for the game and is a true competitor with plenty of fire in the belly. Look for him next summer.

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. Morgan Clune: A tall 17 years old right hand bat and left arm finger spinner, Morgan came to us in round 7 from Newcastle. He immediately impressed, taking 2-20 from 10 overs bowling with excellent control and variation of pace. He continued to bowl in a manner that we are more accustomed to seeing from seasoned grade players, finishing the year with 14 wickets @ 16.36 and a best of 5-33. A hard hitting top order batsmen, Morgan showed that he has the ability to be a quality all-rounder in the higher grades. George or Hammer, as he became affectionately known, was an excellent team player and slipped straight into the RPC culture of mateship and taking the mickey out of each other. His development will be followed with much interest.

THE JOHN CONNELL AWARD John Connell has been a manager of many club teams including a number which have won premierships. Oshanka Perera: After picking up the Most Promising Metropolitan Cup (6th Grade) Player Award in 2011-12 through his bowling, there was much interest on how Oshanka would progress with the ball in Grade cricket. That question is still to be answered as Oshanka only bowled one over all season! However, “The Shank” showed he is a batsmen of some quality, posting 302 runs across all Grades at an average of 30.20, including a highest score of 89 not out against Hawkesbury in 4th Grade. His ability to “bat time” is a great quality, a hallmark that will see him push up the Grades next season.

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. Adam Docos: Adam debuted in 5th Grade in Round 3 against Wests and never looked back. A fantastic young wicketkeeper / batsman at just 15 years of age Adam showed incredible poise under pressure and an ability to concentrate for long periods both with the gloves and the bat. His 170 runs were accumulated in impressive style with his 51 not out against eventual premiers Gordon a promise of things to come. He was also one of the stars of the A W Green Shield team. A feature of his game is his brilliant attitude...always willing to listen and learn...and hidden beneath his boyish smile was a real determination to tough it out and make the most of his opportunities.

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. 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 89 players have now played in the First XI since the club’s creation 10 years ago. This season 10 players made their debut as first graders with Randwick Petersham. Each was presented with a cap before the start of play in their first match in the top grade. The capped players this season were:

No. 80 Cameron Borgas: Cameron joined us after playing 37 first-class matches and 57 one-day games for his native state South Australia. The 29 year old opened the batting in Round I against Northern District at Mark Taylor Oval and was run out for 7 off 12 balls backing up.

No. 81 Soumil Chhibber: A Delhi, India born 17 years old right arm off-spinner Soumil joined Randwick Petersham from Western Suburbs where he played lower grades. The youngest player behind Usman Khawaja to make his 1st Grade debut with the club, he did so in round 1 against Northern District at Mark Taylor Oval where he scored 8 runs batting at number 9 and took 2-58 off 20.2 overs. His first wicket was former NSW player Dominic Thornley who had scored 71 in a partnership of 140. That wicket triggered a collapse with 7 wickets falling for 46 to enable his team to win the match by 29 runs.

No. 82 Brandon McLean: Having topped the 2nd Grade bowling aggregate with 28 wickets in 2011-12, 19 years old leg-spinner Brandon made his 1st Grade debut in Round 1 against Northern District at Mark Taylor Oval. He scored 8 runs in a valuable partnership of 32 with Captain Adam Semple and took 0-23 off 4 overs with the ball.

No. 83 Daniel Sams: After 32 matches and 37 wickets in 1st Grade this 19 years old left-hand fast bowler joined us from Bankstown. He made his club debut in Round 1 against Northern District at Mark Taylor Oval. Batting number 7 with the score a shaky 5-126 he departed 114 runs later after making 72 off 127 balls with 10 four. It proved to be a winning batting effort as Randwick Petersham won the game by 29 runs, 255 to 226. With the ball he bowled 16 overs and took 0-48.

No. 84 Shaun Eaton: Joining us from Mosman and impressing in the first match in 2nd Grade, all-rounder Shaun Eaton was called in to replace the injured Nick Warren in round 2 against Parramatta at Coogee. He didn’t get to bowl but batted with the score a precarious 6-187 chasing 224. He faced 33 balls scoring 13 not out to assist Nathan Price (101*) run down the target for a good win. Apart from being his 1st Grade debut with the club it was also his first game in the Sydney 1st Grade competition.

No. 85 Jake Scicluna: Jake became the third youngest player behind Usman Khawaja and Soumil Chhibber to receive a 1st Grade cap with Randwick Petersham. The 17 year old made his debut against Wests in round 3 at Pratten Park. He opened the innings before being bowled for a duck after facing 13 balls. He joined us this season from the Central Coast and was called into 1st Grade after just two games of Sydney Grade Cricket having performed well in 2nd Grade in both matches.

No.86 Jarryd Biviano: Jarryd joined Randwick Petersham from the Sutherland club this season and was called to fill in for the injured Anthony Sams in round 4 against Bankstown. The 18 years old schoolboy wicketkeeper performed well taking two catches while not conceding a single bye in two innings stretching over 75 overs. With the bat he was bowled for a duck after facing 10 balls in the first innings when the team could only muster 55 but in the second he hit 46 off 77 balls with 8 fours and a six to feature in a partnership of 87 with Simon Katich (137) who he outscored. The game was lost on the first innings.

No. 87 Andrew Williams: After some excellent performances in 2nd Grade 25 years old batsman Andrew Williams made his 1st Grade cricket debut in round 6 against North Sydney at North Sydney Oval. He came to the wicket with the score 4-51 chasing a target of 186 to win. Joining former Test batsman Simon Katich, the pair put on 136 for the 5th wicket in just 114 minutes to win the match. Andrew hit 4 boundaries and a six from 91 balls in an impressive debut of 49 not out.

No. 88 Ben Marciante: Having scored 241 runs and taken 13 wickets in 2nd Grade including performances of 81 and 5-21, pace bowling all- rounder Ben Marciante made his 1st Grade debut with Randwick Petersham in round 8 against Hawkesbury at Coogee. Because the limited overs match was all over in just 48 overs with Hawkesbury making 75 and RPC 5-76, the former Sutherland 1st grader did not get an opportunity to show his wares with either bat or ball.

No. 89 Shayne Smith: A good double of 62 and 38 plus 3 wickets in 2nd Grade against Sydney University the previous round saw Shayne made his 1st Grade debut in the Quarter Final of the Limited Overs competition against University of NSW at Village Green. Batting at number 8 he scored 10 off 20 balls and took 1 for 30 off 6 overs with his off-spinners. He also took a catch off his own bowling and effected a run-out.

Guest Player: Luke Feldman Luke Feldman is an opening fast bowler with the Queensland Bulls who was in Sydney for a period of time playing for the Sydney Sixers in the Big Bash League. He made his debut with the club and in Sydney Grade Cricket in round 8 against Hawkesbury at Coogee. He opened the bowling and took the first two wickets before finishing with 2-24 from 7 overs. Hawkesbury were out for 75 with RPC 5-76 to win by 5 wickets.

67 The Grandest Final Memories of the 1943-44 Sydney Grade Cricket Final

Harry Lenertz defies the old adage that the memory dims as the years pass because the memories of his fondest times in cricket are as clear now as they were then. A spritely 92 years of age this past April he recalls with great enthusiasm the time he played in the 1943-44 Sydney 1st Grade Final. It was a match between his team Marrickville and the reigning four-time premiers St George at Marrickville Oval. It was such a match that 8,355 people attended (see photo above). Most of them stood for the four hours of the one-day match having walked to at a time of petrol rationing and restricted public transport.

The date was 1 April 1944. War time. The clash had been brought about by Marrickville pipping Saints on percentages for top spot on the points ladder thus gaining a “home ground advantage” with the final being played on their turf. And despite the fact Marrickville had defeated St George in an earlier contest during the season before a crowd of 6,035, the red and whites were red-hot favourites.

The war-time competition comprised rounds of 4 hour matches…2 hours each side commencing at 1.30 pm allowing those many cricketers working on Saturday mornings or travelling from military venues to get to the ground. It was a regular occurrence for matches to commence without a full team due to players in transit. It was a matter for clubs to field the best side they could based on availabilities. The final was no different with St George star Ray Lindwall a notable absentee due to service commitments.

Despite the player difficulties, both clubs were able to field sides brimful of talent. St George was led by one of Australia’s greatest-ever spin bowlers in Bill O’Reilly. He was accompanied by three other players with first class experience in Ronald Thomas, Thomas Klose and Harold Stapleton. Ross Longbottom, Ernie Laidler and Jack Giffen made up a strong outfit along with Norm Condon, Alan Byrne, Alan Johnson and Ernie Green.

The Marrickville team was led by local hero and wicketkeeper/batsman Ron Saggers. Jack Moroney was a newcomer to the team joining regulars Les Hancock, Ron Schumann, Colin Graham, Wally Horne, Patrick Broderick, Jim Cudmore, Fred Dawes and H Jerry Lawrence while 22 years old Harry Lenertz (pictured) was promoted from 2nd Grade for the big match. Harry recalls that although he had played most of the season in 1st Grade a good score in 2’s the week before the Final gave him the promotion.

Having won the toss and batted Saints were expecting a good start from their in-form opening pair Jack Giffen and Tom Klose as they had hit a record 228 against Waverley the previous week. The Marrickville opening bowlers Jerry Lawrence and Colin Graham had other ideas however, and sent both batsmen packing with the score 2-17. Graham struck again at 49 but when the score had reached 83 St George suffered a real slump losing 3 for 10 to be struggling at 6-93. When Lawrence disposed of New South Wales player Stapleton for a solid 48 it looked like Marrickville would be chasing a small total. However, Ernie Laidler (26) and Ross Longbottom (11 not out) hit out to get the total to a respectable 9-150 when their batting time ran out. Lawrence (4-79) and Graham (5-66) had bowled unchanged throughout the St George innings. Interestingly, it was the 12th time that season Jerry Lawrence had bowled throughout an innings while Col Graham did the same thing five times.

Chasing 151 in two hours to win their first premiership, Marrickville was on the back foot when O’Reilly struck quickly to have Saggers and Hancock out cheaply while Longbottom bowled Schumann for a 3 for 19 score-line. Worse was to follow when O’Reilly caught and bowled Graham for 6 with the total on 42. Then came the partnership of the match when Harry Lenertz joined Jack Moroney. Harry claims that he was not nervous but wanted to be “careful” as he had a lot of faith in Jack Moroney who had helped him greatly with his batting on previous occasions.

68 Despite the shaky score, the pair took the game up to Saints attacking the bowling with such vigour that they put on 73 in just 55 minutes. However, with the total on 115 O’Reilly struck again bowling Moroney for 55, the highest score of the match. Wally Horne joined Lenertz and the pair ran on everything to the cheers of the crowd until a great throw from Klose ran out Harry for 40 as he was attempting a third run. Harry says he couldn’t believe Wally took off for the third run as the fieldsman had the ball in his hand! But worse was to follow as O’Reilly took his 5th and 6th wickets of the innings when he wrapped up Broderick and Cudmore for the addition of just 5 runs. This brought Fred Dawes and Horne together at 8-132 with 19 to win.

With Dawes holding up his end Horne chanced his arm and with the score 8-142 Bill O’Reilly took the ball for the final over with 9 to win. Lenetz recalls it was a very nervous team huddled in the Marrickville Oval change-room as O’Reilly who had taken a record 147 wickets that season for a bit over 8 runs each moved in to bowl the first of the final 8 balls. And while the tension was extreme it was even more so when Horne casually played back O’Reilly’s first ball. O’Reilly’s next ball was a bosie and the 31 years old Horne, who later said that he felt he could “pick” Bill’s wrong-un decided it was now or never and swung lustily collecting the ball in the “meat” of the bat watching gleefully as it sailed high in the sky and over the long-on fence for 6! The applause was deafening and according to the write-up of the game in the Marrickville annual report, it was later confirmed that the roar of the crowd could be heard some distance away in Dulwich Hill!

With 3 runs still needed the hush of the crowd quickly returned interrupted only by the sound of the unanswered ground telephone as supporters called for scores. Next ball Horne cut through the gully for 2 to equalise the scores before he then lifted the following over the close-in fieldsmen’s heads for 3 to win the game and give Marrickville the Belvidere Cup! Wally Horne, the hero of the day and a player who joined the club from Bowral in 1933-34 having overtaken ’s record of highest individual score in the district, remained unconquered on 27.

While the excitement among the players and supporters remains fresh in Harry Lenertz’ mind so does the injury to the long-time Marrickville Secretary Bert Bicknell who jumped so high as the winning runs were hit he landed on an uneven surface hitting his head on a wall! Carried off into the dressing room for medical attention he quickly recovered to join in the historic celebrations.

The 1943-44 Sydney Grade Cricket Final was a match which lasted just over 4 hours. Almost 70 years later it is still the subject of much discussion and interest. Such is the beauty of the game of cricket.

Harry Lenertz joined Marrickville in 1937-38 as a 16 year old. Despite his youth he had already played two seasons with Petersham but because of the residential qualification rule was forced to switch clubs when the family moved to Marrickville from Dulwich Hill. In his first year with Marrickville he made his 1st Grade debut playing Cumberland at the SCG where he took 6 for 75 with his off-spinners. Next game against Randwick the Christian Brothers Lewisham schoolboy showed his all-round ability striking a stylish 69 not out. Over the following 3 seasons Lenertz was a permanent fixture in the 1st Grade side making his maiden century in the top side against Balmain at Birchgrove Oval scoring 111 not out in 1939-40. The onset of World War 2 however, disrupted a possible first class representative career with Harry serving 2 years in the Army and another in the Air Force stationed in Queensland. Between his service commitments he sandwiched in the 1943- 44 season which concluded with his outstanding contribution to Marrickville’s first (and only) 1st Grade premiership win. An interesting sidelight to the Harry Lenertz story is that his father Albert, the first General Manager of the Aeroplane Jelly Company composed the original Aeroplane Jelly jingle in 1930.

69 First Class Players

For the first time in 11 seasons Randwick Petersham did not field a player in the first class arena. We have had a fantastic run over the past decade with five players representing the club at the top level of cricket. It was therefore with great disappointment that we were unable to continue supplying talent at the national and state level this summer due to player movement and retirement. Usman Khawaja, Nathan Hauritz and Burt Cockley all moved interstate in pursuit of greater opportunity while Scott Coyte returned to Campbelltown-Camden, his club of origin. Simon Katich remained in our playing ranks but retired from first class cricket in Australia. Here’s a run-down on their changed circumstances.

Simon Katich: After 55 Test Matches and 44 One Day internationals while with the club as well as 58 first class, 56 limited overs and 22 Twenty20 matches for New South Wales, Simon announced his retirement from first class cricket in Australia in June 2012. He continued to play first class English County Cricket and last season played for Hampshire before switching to Lancashire this English season. And while commitments in the Big Bash League for Perth Scorchers and other overseas Twenty20 matches reduced his availability, he continued to turn out with Randwick Petersham whenever the opportunity presented itself. The result was that he played 7 matches for the club this season scoring 450 runs while hitting 2 centuries and 2 fifties. Simon is our longest-serving first grader having played 56 matches in 11 seasons scoring 2,627 runs with 6 centuries at an average of 54.73.

Usman Khawaja: In a major shock to the club and to New South Wales Cricket, Usman decided to switch to Queensland for the 2012-13 season believing that his prospects for a recall to the Australian Test team were greater across the northern border. After a successful start to the season he won selection in the Australian Test team touring India. And while he didn’t play in any of the 4 Tests in India the national selectors showed their faith in the talented stroke maker when he was named in Squad to tour England in June 2013. Usman remains our first home-grown Test player with 6 matches. He also played 30 first class games for New South Wales, 12 limited overs matches and 7 Twenty20 games. As well as our highest run-scorer for the club (5,526) and in 1st Grade (4,801), he is also our highest century-maker with 15.

Nathan Hauritz: After 6 seasons with Randwick Petersham during which time he played 16 Test Matches for Australia, 17 first class, 8 limited overs and 16 Twenty20 matches for New South Wales, Nathan returned to his home state of Queensland prior to the commencement of the 2012-13 season. He played Sheffield Shield, Limited Overs and Twenty20 cricket for Queensland this season and was an important part of that state’s victories in the Limited Overs and Twenty20 Big Bash competitions. In his 6 seasons with the club he played 52 matches, scored 1,668 runs and took 87 wickets with 7 for 50 his best return.

Burt Cockley: Frustrated at a number of on-going injuries over more than 2 years and a lack of opportunity to regain his position in the New South Wales team where he was the leading wicket-taker in 2008-09, Burt decided to try his luck with Western Australia. Biding his time he managed to gain a spot in the State team for the last few matches of the season impressing with a healthy return of 14 wickets in Sheffield Shield and another 2 in the Limited Overs Ryobi Cup competition. His efforts resulted in an offer of a Western Australian contract for the 2013-14 season. In 5 seasons with Randwick Petersham, the fast bowler played in 59 matches taking 91 wickets and scoring 261 runs.

Scott Coyte: Scott returned to his home club Campbelltown-Camden after 3 seasons with Randwick Petersham. During that time he played 9 first class games for New South Wales along with 11 limited overs matches and 7 Twenty20 games. He also played 7 games in the Big Bash League with Sydney Thunder. He played another 5 matches with the Thunder this season. In his 3 seasons with us Scott captained the 1st Grade side for 2 seasons making the Grand Final in each. He also led the team to win the Twenty20 competition in 2012-13 and bring home Randwick Petersham’s first 1st Grade trophy. He scored 1,476 runs with one century and took 83 wickets in 55 matches.

70 The 300 Club

In round 4 of the 2012-13 season 30 years old pace bowler Nigil Singh became the first Randwick Petersham player to take 300 wickets. When he bowled the number 4 batsman to give him his second wicket in the match against Bankstown at Jensen Park, Singh had the record. He finished the day with 2-14 from 12 accurate overs as his 6 maidens indicate.

The 300 wicket milestone was in the sights of three players at the end of the 2011-12 season although when Andrew Harrison announced his retirement with 288 scalps it left Singh (293) and Rod Stafford (288) to battle it out for the “first to 300 “ honours. Stafford joined Singh shortly after in round 11 when he took the second wicket of his 3-26 off 12 overs. By a strange co-incidence the same wicket which gave Rodney his 300 for the club gave him his 200th in 2nd Grade—the only player to achieve that feat. By season’s end Nigil had 316 wickets and Rodney 309.

Nigil Singh: Named in the first Randwick Petersham 3rd Grade team which took the field at Snape Oval in 2001, Singh finished the season with 25 wickets. His best performance was 6-49 from 22 successive overs against Penrith. By 2004-05 he was in 2nd Grade and after some excellent performances early in the season he won his 1st Grade cap. It was a positive start as well. He made his debut on a hot day at Merrylands Oval in round 7 against Parramatta where he had 4 of the first 7 wickets to fall before finishing with 4-75.

In 2006 Nigil was struck down by a debilitating disease which threatened his playing future. It was a sign of his perseverance and dedication to the game and the club that he managed to get back on the cricket field in 5th Grade towards the end of the 2006-07 season bowling 23 overs for a 5-37 return in his one and only game in that grade.

While his medical problems meant an end to his 1st Grade playing days Nigil Singh was far from a spent force going on to take a club record 9 for 43 against Bankstown in 3rd Grade the following season. From there he took over as captain of the 3rd Grade side for the next 3 seasons. He was named Clubman of the Year in 2009-10 while also taking out the prestigious Sydney Cricket Association 3rd Grade Captain of the Year Award. His best season was 2002-03 when he took 42 wickets—32 in 4th Grade and 10 in 3rds. He has taken 5 wickets in an innings 14 times while in 2010-11 he took 5 wickets in each innings against Mosman in 3rd Grade to give him 10-80 for the match.

Taking 70 wickets with the former Randwick club prior to the 2001 merger the Sydney Grade Cricket career of Nigil Singh stands at 386 wickets.

Rod Stafford: In 2002-03 Rod was the leading wicket-taker in 2nd Grade taking 36 wickets with a 6-84 return against Easts his best. It was no surprise that the talented right-arm leg spinner made his debut in 1st Grade the following summer. It was a debut he will never forget as his first ball in the top grade at Bankstown Oval was bowled to the champion Australian Test batsman who went onto make another century. It was an amazing debut season for Rodney however, as just 3 games later he took 6 for 85 to demolish UTS Balmain at Petersham Oval while 5 matches later he recorded 6 for 62 snaring the last Easts batsman caught behind to give his team a 4 runs win at Waverley. He later played in the Grand Final won by Easts.

Over the following 4 seasons Rodney played little 1st Grade but dominated in 2nds taking 117 wickets in that period. He was a major force in the 2004-05 2nd Grade premiership win with returns of 6-69, 6-71 and 5-32 while in 2005-06 he was installed as 2nd Grade captain, a role he performed with distinction for the following 3 years.

In 2007-08 Stafford returned career best figures when he took 7-105 against Sydney University in the semi-final. Interestingly they were the only wickets to go to a bowler with the remaining 3 batsmen run out. His success as a leader did not go unnoticed and in 2008-09 he was recalled to 1st Grade and appointed captain. And while that was not a successful season for the team, Rod Stafford showed that he was a quality 1st Grade all-rounder scoring 280 runs and taking 31 wickets including 5 wickets in an innings 3 times.

Stafford remained at the helm of the 1st Grade team in 2009-10 again being a major contributor with both bat and ball. The improvement of the side was most evident and Rodney’s leadership did much to set the side on its way to contest the Grand Final in each of the following two seasons. With Scott Coyte taking over as 1st Grade captain in 2010-11 Rodney’s appearances were split between 1st and 2nds before he resumed his 2nd Grade captaincy role in 2011-12 which continued through 2012-13 where he led the side to a place in the Qualifying Final. He completed that season with 21 wickets at the excellent average of 14.52 with 4-20 his best.

With 97 wickets Rod is the 5th highest wicket-taker in the club’s 1st Grade history while his 209 in 2nd Grade is 98 more than the next best. He has taken between 19 and 38 wickets in each of the last 11 seasons including 5 wickets in an innings 14 times. His best match figures were recorded against Northern District in 2004-05 when he took 11- 103. Adding his 111 wickets with the Randwick club Rodney Stafford now has a Sydney Grade Cricket career record of 420 wickets.

71 Social by Nigil Singh and Chris Sullivan

This year we again had an enjoyable social calendar which helped bond us for our on-field exploits. Continuing the trend taken last year, and excluding the President’s Luncheon, we pared back the number of formal events in order to utilise the fantastic room we have at the top of the grandstand at Coogee Oval which houses our museum. The main club events were:

Ladies Day (Sponsored by Bendigo Bank Community Bank - Clovelly) This was a day to give back to our long suffering wives, girlfriends and mothers. It’s a fantastic event held at Coogee Oval which has become one of the cornerstones of our social calendar. A special thank you to Anyes McLean in organizing the great gift packs that our lovely ladies went home with. Christmas and New Year’s Drinks The Newington Inn was the popular venue for this event this season. Great to see all the players mixing together for some cold beverages and take in the exploits and achievements of the season to date and scheme for success for the run into the finals. End of Season Drinks Again at Coogee Oval this year we presented awards to the batsman with the most ducks, bowler with the most 6’s hit off them in an over, easiest dropped catch, worst sledge, worst social /off the field effort (not everything that happens on circuit stays on circuit) and worst administrative effort. End of Year Dinner This year the Sauce Bar and Grill Restaurant at Coogee played host to the RPC Player's Awards Night. It was a great night attended by over 100 people. Congratulations to all the award winners and thank you to the staff at Sauce Bar and Grill Restaurant for providing great food and a quality venue for the event. Also thank you to our Award Sponsors who were able to attend and present their awards.

The President’s Luncheon

West Indian cricket legends Joel Garner, Michael Holding and Brian Lara along with Australian firebrand Jeff Thomson held a 200 strong crowd enthralled at the annual President’s luncheon at Dockside Darling Harbour on Friday 16 November. The stars had the crowd in awe as they told stories of the great period of cricket when the West Indies dominated the world. The crowd was well warmed-up by the highly amusing Sam Kekovich who showed his considerable knowledge across a range of subjects, especially the changing face of life as we know it. The lunch was compered by the king of Masters of Ceremonies, Randwick Petersham’s very own Graeme Hughes. Club President Mike Whitney commented just how amazing it was to get those four members of cricketing royalty at the one event – and they all had great stories to tell. Guests thronged the stars afterwards for photos and autographs which they were happy to oblige. The Randy Pete’s President’s Luncheon is fast becoming one of the premium events on the cricket calendar with this one attracting our largest crowd. The event draws sponsors, club members and business people who bring along their clients and suppliers. President Whitney thanked the event organisers, especially Chris Sullivan and Anyes McLean. The four cricketing legends were there thanks to our club sponsor Atlantis Connect and CEO Tony Jaggs.

72 The Legends 2012-13 The Randwick Petersham Cricket Legends Society

This was a season of great sorrow with the loss of three members, each a Legend in his own right. The passing of John Letson in September 2012 was followed by Len Cartwright two months later in November and Bill Knowles in February 2013. All were former Randwick 1st Grade cricketers and each had put a great deal back into the club after their playing days with their continuing interest flowing through to Randwick Petersham. Details of their cricketing life with the club are contained in the Obituary section of this report.

Despite those tragic losses this was a season when “The Legends” came close to bringing up its own ”ton” expanding the number of financial members to 98. This is the highest membership we have ever had. Our 89 members from last year were joined by 1st Grade captain Adam Semple’s father Brian; former Randwick players Paul O’Loughlin, Terry Murphy and Darren Smith who is now on the club’s coaching staff; former Randwick coach Barry Davison; Ray and Geoff Chegwyn the sons of Randwick immortal Jack Chegwyn; and Geoff Cartwright the son of the late Len Cartwright and a great friend of the club in his own right. We also had Paul Jackson and Royce McCormack from Newcastle returning after a year’s absence. With just one exception, everyone renewed this season which does wonders for the future of The Legends! Thank you all.

The 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 a number of our members at club matches during the season and it is hoped this number will increase in the seasons ahead. We were also thrilled that long-time member and club patron Alan Turner was named Lord’s Taverner’s Vintage Cricketer of the Year.

Once again the Society’s main function and fundraiser this season was the “Phil Tresidder Memorial Cup” Golf Day at Beverley Park Golf Course on 19 October 2012. Proceeds for the day were aimed at the Phil Tresidder Memorial Scholarship with a solid profit of $1,605 a handy result. It is pleasing to report that the value of the Scholarship has climbed to almost $39,000 at the end of the cricket financial year on 30 April 2013. It was also good to see 29 “Legends” swinging a golf club and enjoying the company throughout the day. We were also well represented at the 1st Grade semi-final at Hurstville Oval cheering on our team as this photo indicates.

In terms of the Society's finances, our income exceeded our expenditure by $37.57. Our spending included $1,625 for framed photos of our 1st grade premiership teams from 2011-12, $115.70 to purchase prints of the Team of the Decade photo of 2010 which were distributed to the team members; $100 to purchase an historic Petersham DCC medal for the museum while $99.95 was expended on floral tributes. Our total expenditure was $1,940.65 while our income was $1,978.22 representing interest of $153.22 and annual membership subscriptions of $1,825. At 30 April 2013 the net bank balance of Randwick Petersham Cricket Legends Society was a healthy $10,424.34. The committee comprised Lyall Gardner (Chairman), John Pearson, Shane Redenbach, Bill Anderson, Ray Stafford and Ross Davies.

The following 98 people were financial members this season: John Alvarez, John Affleck, Bill Anderson, Peter Bain, Bob Barter, Margaret Bayley, Peter Bayley, John Benaud, Richie Benaud, Gary Bensley, Col Blackman, Col Booth, John Brewster, Chris Burke, Peter Carroll, Geoff Cartwright, Len Cartwright, Richard CheeQuee, Geoff Chegwyn, Ray Chegwyn, John Connell, Ron Crippin, Ross Davies, Barry Davison, Paul Davison, Tim Dein, Ken, Madge, Peter & Steve Devlin, David Downing, Bob Duff, Harry Ellison, Peter English, Lyall Gardner, Robin Gardner, Allan Gear, Todd Greenberg, Peter Harrison, John Hayward, Wayne Heathcote, Joe Hill, Sue Hill, Garry Hughes, Brett Hunter, Paul Jackson, Trevor Jay, John Johnson, Peter Johnston, David Kelly, Mike Kemp, Bill Knowles, James LeHuray, Donn Ledwidge, Paul Ledwidge, John Letson, Royce McCormack, Ian McNeilly, Graeme Marston, Tony Martin, John Mison, Wayne Mulherin, Terry Murphy, John Nesbitt, John O’Loughlin, Paul O’Loughlin, Cec Orrock, Barry Otto, Gordon Owen, Daryl Parmenter, Corey Pearson, John Pearson, Mark Preddey, Shane Redenbach, Tom Regan, Peter Rolls, Brian Semple, David Sincock, Darren Smith, Steve Smith, John Soames, Ray Stafford, Chris Sullivan, John Sullivan, Mark Sundin, Peter Taylor, Kevin Thomas, Wayne Tilley, Brad Timbrell, Paul Toole, Michael Tresidder, Alan Turner, John Warwick, Dean White, Mike Whitney, Barry Wood, Alan Wright, Chris York. The following 40 members have paid in advance and are financial for next season, 2013-14: Bob Barter, Peter Bayley, John Benaud, Richie Benaud, Col Blackman, Chris Burke, Geoff Cartwright, Geoff Chegwyn, Ray Chegwyn, John Connell, Ross Davies, Barry Davison, Harry Ellison, Lyall Gardner, Robin Gardner, Allan Gear, Todd Greenberg, Peter Harrison, John Hayward, Wayne Heathcote, Joseph Hill, Sue Hill, Paul Jackson, Peter Johnston, David Kelly, James LeHuray, Donn Ledwidge, Tony Martin, Terry Murphy, John O’Loughlin, Paul O’Loughlin, Cec Orrock, Barry Otto, Shane Redenbach, Tom Regan, Peter Rolls, Brian Semple, John Soames, Dean White, Alan Wright.

The annual fee for the 2013-14 season is $25 (or $50 for the next two seasons) and is due and payable from 1 September 2013. 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.

73 Gallery of Champions

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

Reg Ledwidge 1922-1977

Reg Ledwidge was a fine medium fast bowler and stubborn lower order batsman who took 507 wickets for Randwick in a Sydney Grade cricket career spanning 15 seasons. When he retired as a player he took up umpiring and rose to the pinnacle of that honourable profession by standing in three Test matches.

Reginald Ross Ledwidge joined Randwick in 1946 as a 24 year old and played in the Shires team where he took 26 wickets. The following season he made his 1st Grade debut. He was in and out of 1’s and 2’s the next two seasons and in 1949-50 he finished with the 2nd Grade bowling honours taking 38 wickets at just 15.11. While he suffered a form slump in 1950-51 his demotion to 3rd Grade for a few matches enabled him to win the batting average with 25.66 and hit his highest score of 51 not out.

In 1951-52 Ledwidge had his best season in 2nd Grade taking 59 wickets at just 15.44 apiece from a mammoth 259 (eight ball) overs. His stamina and accuracy were features of his play and he rarely had a poor day with the ball. He had a strange knack of troubling batsmen on batting-friendly wickets and in 2nd Grade’s 1954-55 season he took 7- 47 v Paddington, 6-27 v Sydney University and 5-38 v Glebe on wickets described as “heartbreaking for a bowler” He finished the season with 37 wickets at the amazing average of 9.73.

Over the following six seasons Reg led the 1st Grade attack with great success. In 1957-58 he took 41 wickets at the fantastic average of 14.90. He also recorded a hat-trick against Sydney University clean bowling all three batsmen as part of his best ever 1st Grade bowling figures of 7 for 17. Three years later Reg struggled with a foot injury and played just a few games. That season 1960-61 was to be his final season as a player. Of his 507 career wickets, 208 were taken in 1st Grade at the remarkable average of 18.89. He also scored a total of 1,317 runs for the club. He won the bowling aggregate three times in 1st Grade and four times in 2nd Grade. As a sharp slips fielder he held 77 catches. Reg also retired as a club committeeman, a position he had held for 11 seasons.

With cricket still in his blood Reg Ledwidge decided to give umpiring a go a number of years after his retirement as a player. His reputation as a person with an acute sense of fair play had earned him widespread respect and he was soon making his mark within the umpiring ranks. He stood in his first Sheffield Shield match with Tom Brooks in November 1972 at the . Randwick had three players, Alan Turner, John Benaud and Ron Crippin in that match.

Reg umpired three Test matches between 1975 and 1977. His first match was the 2nd Test between Australia and the West Indies at Perth in December 1975, easily won by the visitors. Reg’s partner was Max O’Connell. His second was the 4th Test in that series at the SCG with Tom Brooks. That Test was a significant one for Randwick as it featured in three different aspects of the match. Apart from Ledwidge the umpire, Randwick was represented by Australia’s opening batsman Alan Turner while high in the grandstand Randwick 1st Grade numbers man Dave Sherwood was on duty as official scorer.

Reg’s third and last Test match was between Australia and Pakistan at Sydney in January 1977 again standing with Tom Brooks. Pakistan won the match by 8 wickets, their first Test victory in Australia. Later that year Reg took ill and died less than a week before he was due to stand in a Test match against India. He was just 55 years of age.

Apart from an outstanding playing career with Randwick, Reg Ledwidge umpired 21 first class matches between 1972 and November 1977. He left a fine legacy in his twin sons Donn and Paul who became excellent 1st Grade players with Randwick. Both remain involved today as members of the Randwick Petersham Cricket Legends Society.

Brian Hazell OAM

Playing against some of the icons of cricket can be an intimidating experience. And so it was for 14 years old Bryan Hazell when he shaped up against Bill O’Reilly and Sid Barnes at the Sydney Cricket Ground in 1942. The occasion was the annual Combined Schools versus NSW XI fixture. While the match was generally used for coaching purposes the competitive edge of all players was clearly present when Bill O’Reilly knocked Bryan’s stump out of the ground after he had spanked him through the covers for four the previous ball. The 20 runs he scored that day was a valuable lesson while the running between wickets help he received from Sid Barnes would also prove to be of great assistance in his later career.

That 1942-43 season saw young Bryan drafted into the Petersham 3rd Grade team when they were short a player. He remained in 3’s and the following summer won the batting average with 349 runs at 24.69. Some sound early season performances in 2nd Grade in 1944-45 saw him picked in Bill Alley’s 1st Grade team which included the NSW player Ken Grieves. A mix- up in Bryan’s Campsie residential qualifications was discovered soon after and he was forced to transfer to the Marrickville club much to the disappointment of Petersham legend Dudley Seddon who had originally invited the Canterbury Boy’s High youngster to Petersham.

Hazell was an instant hit with his new club in 1945-46 scoring 110 against Balmain in his sixth game for Marrickville’s 2nd Grade team. That performance prompted an immediate elevation to the 1st XI under the captaincy of Test player Ron Saggers. While he only scored 30 runs in his two matches in the top grade his 3 for 11 with his leg-spinners against Manly helped the team to a narrow four runs win.

Over the following few seasons Hazell struggled to command a regular place in the 1st Grade team playing mostly in 2nd Grade where he had a number of good performances. In 1948-49 he scored 104 and followed up with 102 against St George the next year. When Petersham and Marrickville merged in 1951-52 he topped the 2nd Grade batting with 402 runs at 33.50 including the teams highest score for the season of 99.

Called into 1st Grade in 1952-53 for a couple of matches, a solid 69 not out led to his selection in the top side for the whole of the following season. His 490 runs that summer included a dashing 103 against Northern District and with George Debnam he figured in five opening partnerships of 75 or more. That was the start of a 10 year period as a regular in Petersham-Marrickville’s 1st Grade line-up and one which would bring him three 1st Grade premierships.

The first of those was in 1954-55 when a young Bobby Simpson knocked up 729 runs assisted by Hazell who scored 370 while narrowly missing a century with 95. Bryan’s 117 against Cumberland the following season however, was the highest score of the year as was his aggregate of 488 which played a major part in the successful defence of his teams’ premiership title. Six years later in 1961-62 Hazell enjoyed yet another premiership, living up to his reputation as an attacking batsman with a number of hard-hitting innings. In one match against Cumberland Bryan struck Richie Benaud for five successive fours before the champion leg-spinner bowled him with a flipper for 87. Hazell was just one of five players to play in three Petersham-Marrickvile premiership teams in the club’s 50 years history. The others being Clive Johnston, Jonny Martin, Noel Hughes and Ken White.

In 1964 the NSW Cricket Association was considering the admission of Sutherland DCC to the 1st Grade competition. Hazell was at that time living in the Sutherland Shire and the Association felt that as an experienced player it was in the best interests of grade cricket if he were to transfer to the new club and help in its formation. Although he could have remained with Petersham- Marrickville under the “10 year residential rule” he accepted the challenge. He played that season in the local Sutherland Shire competition and served as a member of the Sutherland steering committee charged with the establishment of the new club.

Sutherland became a 1st Grade club from the start of the 1965-66 season and its introduction triggered a new era in the grade cricket career of Bryan Hazell both as a player and administrator. As a player he was appointed vice-captain of Sutherland’s inaugural 1st Grade team filling in as skipper when regular captain and Australian Test star Norman O’Neill was on first class cricket duties. At the conclusion of that season Hazell volunteered to bring his 1st Grade career to a halt and play in the lower grades to develop the up-and-coming younger players. In adopting that approach he ended up with the distinction of captaining all Sutherland’s five grades over 10 seasons and led the 1967-68 3rd Grade team to a premiership victory.

On the administration front Bryan was appointed Deputy President of Sutherland in its first year before taking over the following season as President, a role he was to hold for the next 10 years. He was also appointed Sutherland’s delegate to the NSW Cricket Association and served in that capacity until 1978. His extensive involvement with the Association was recognised in 1977 when he was made a Life Member.

75 Bryan Hazell had a distinguished cricket career spanning 34 seasons. His contribution to the game as both a player and administrator was immense and it was a true reflection of the esteem in which he was held by his peers when he received the Order of Australia for his service to cricket in 1996. In his Grade Cricket career he scored a total of 10,320 runs including 4,090 in 1st Grade. Of those runs, 6,139 were scored with Marrickville / Petersham-Marrickville including 3,793 in 1st Grade while the remainder of 4,181 was achieved in his Sutherland years.

Geoff Davies

Geoff Davies was without doubt one of the more gifted cricketers produced by Randwick Cricket Club. That he played 73 games for New South Wales over a 7 year period is testimony to his ability yet an Australian baggy green cap eluded him.

Geoff Davies was just 13 years of age when he first came to Coogee as a Green Shield boy at the start of the 1959-60 season. The following summer he won a place in the Combined Metropolitan Green Shield team after setting a club record for the under 16 years competition when he took 27 wickets at just 9.3 runs apiece with his well-flighted leg spinners. He also made his grade debut that season playing in the 4th Grade team.

Promoted to 3rd Grade in 1961-62 the right-hand all-rounder won the batting aggregate with 272 runs while taking 19 wickets. And the transition was complete just 3 years after he made his Green Shield debut when he was promoted to 1st Grade the following season at the tender age of 16.

Season 1965-66 was one of the greatest in Randwick’s long history when the famous fast bowler Wesley Hall joined the club. Crowds flocked to Coogee Oval and other grounds for away games to see the human thunderbolt in action. The presence of Hall in the team and as skipper brought out the best in all players, not the least in young Davies. The side made the semi-finals and while Hall was a prime reason behind the team’s success, the performance of Geoff Davies in scoring 401 runs and securing 35 wickets was a feature. His skilful 9 wickets for 43 against Petersham-Marrickville was a Randwick 1st Grade record and won the attention of State selectors who called him into the NSW Sheffield Shield team. Davies made his first class debut on 31 December 1965 against Queensland at the SCG. He scored 69 and took 4 for 51 in NSW’s 192 runs win.

In his second season of first class cricket Geoff Davies was Australia’s leading run-getter. He scored 557 in Sheffield Shield and another 333 on an Australian tour of New Zealand. With the ball he took 32 wickets. He also hit 123 against Queensland and 101 versus South Australia. Strangely he had to wait until the following grade cricket season 1967-68 to score his first century for Randwick when he hit 148 not out in a seasonal tally of 524 to take the batting honours. This feat was complemented by the 503 he scored for NSW the same season while taking 22 wickets.

In 1968-69 the West Indies toured Australia and the moment Geoff had waited for finally arrived. He was selected in the 12 for the 1st Test Match in Brisbane. Unfortunately he was relegated to 12th man and missed selection for the remainder of the series. Despite continuing as one of Australia’s most consistent all-rounders that was the last and only opportunity Geoff Davies had to wear the coveted baggy green. A huge disappointment for Geoff and for his army of supporters in cricket circles, especially in the Randwick ranks. He may well have taken out his frustrations on the hapless Wests attack that season as he hit 124 against them including the last 80 in just 47 minutes.

In 1969-70 Davies had his best first class season scoring 440 runs for NSW and 351 including a dashing 105 not out at New Plymouth on his second tour of New Zealand with the Australian team. He also scored 219 in his few grade cricket opportunities with Randwick. The following two seasons Geoff was lost to Randwick taking a job in the Newcastle area. He played with Belmont in the NDCA competition while continuing to play for the NSW Blues. In 1972-73 Davies returned to Randwick for what was to be his final season with the club. It was also his final season of first class cricket and he retired after 7 seasons with NSW scoring 3,903 runs with 6 centuries. He also took 107 wickets with 6 for 43 his best. His 12 playing seasons with Randwick had produced a total of 3,579 runs and 208 wickets. Of those, 2,948 runs and 171 wickets were achieved in 1st Grade. In addition he scored 915 runs and took 80 wickets in the age competitions Poidevin-Gray Shield and the A W Green competition. He scored three centuries, two in 1st Grade and one in Poidevin-Gray.

In 1973-74 along with Randwick’s captain John Benaud, Geoff joined Nepean, a new club entrant into 1st Grade and won the Sydney-wide Cricketer of the Year Award. He played on for a couple of years before hanging up his boots.

76 David Chardon

David Chardon joined Petersham-Marrickville as a 14 year old in the 1967-68 season and equalled the club’s 4th Grade bowling record with 52 wickets. That same season he took an outstanding 24 wickets at 13.4 in the A W Green Shield competition which was won for the first time by Petersham-Marrickville with young David as captain. The following summer he was selected in the 2nd Grade team and by season’s end he made his debut in 1st Grade where he would remain for the following 24 seasons. The red-headed fast bowler had quite an initiation into the top grade when he dismissed Randwick’s opening batsman Ron Crippin with his first ball.

Season 1983-84 was David’s finest when he took 69 wickets to break Johnny Martin’s club record. He was the leading wicket taker in Sydney Grade cricket that season just as his team mate Graeme Hughes topped the batting in the competition with 784 runs, also a record for the club. Apart from that season Chardon took Sydney Grade competition honours on three other occasions: in 1974-75 with 55 wickets; in 1976-77 with 47; and in 1987-88 when he took 44 wickets. For his club, Chardon won the bowling aggregate 12 times including seven times in succession between 1970-71 and 1976-77. He also took out the bowling average eight times with his 13.00 runs for each of his 55 wickets in 1974-75 his best.

The last time Petersham-Marrickville won the Poidevin Gray Shield was in 1972-73 with David Chardon as captain. In a side which contained Graeme Hughes, Greg Hartshorne, Martin Bedkober and John Coyle, they bowled Manly out for just 73 in the Final at Waverley Oval with Chardon taking 6-31 and Coyle 4-40. No other bowlers were used. The win gave Chardon the rare distinction of being captain of premiership winning Poidevin Gray and A W Green Shield teams.

A tearaway speedster early in his career, Chardon tempered his pace as he got older but remained one of the most consistent and feared new ball bowlers in Sydney Grade cricket. While he was the spearhead of many outstanding wins for Petersham- Marrickville one of his best was in 1986-87 when he took 8 for 39 and 5 for 48 to give him 13 wickets for 87 in the match to help his side defeat University outright on a rain-affected pitch at Petersham Oval.

Chardon was no slouch with the bat playing a number of important and effective innings. In his Petersham-Marrickville career covering Green Shield, Poidevin Gray and grade games he scored in excess of 3,500 runs including 2,234 in 1st Grade. His top score was 108 in Green Shield in 1967-68 while in 1st Grade he hit a 54 in 1983-84.

If there was an unfortunate aspect about David Chardon’s cricket career it was that he emerged at the same time as a number of other great NSW fast bowlers like Jeff Thomson, , , Steve Bernard, David Colley and Mark Clews. But for that talented lot, David would have played more than a single match for NSW. His unflattering figures of 1-47 and 1-72 on a flat MCG pitch in 1975-76 did little to illustrate his undoubted ability to succeed at the first class level.

When he retired from 1st Grade cricket in 1989-90 he did so with a tally of 762 wickets at the healthy average of 19.78, the ninth highest bowling aggregate in the history of Sydney 1st Grade cricket. His final couple of years were spent in the lower grades for the Petes’ where many a promising player benefited from his experience and knowledge. Adding his 262 lower grades, Green Shield and PG’s wickets his overall tally amounted to 1,124.

In 1988 David received the club’s highest honour when he was granted Life Membership of the Petersham-Marrickville District Cricket Club. After 29 seasons of Sydney Grade Cricket David Chardon retired from active play at the end of 1994-95. These days he is content to smash the little white ball around the fairways of Bankstown Golf Club.

Close Encounters of the Nail-Biting Kind Once again this season Sydney Grade Cricket has proven to be a haven for close nail-biting finishes to cricket matches. We were involved in a number of them as the following illustrates. • Batting first in the 1st Grade “Grand Final replay” against Sydney University at University no. 1 we slumped to 9-67 after being 0-29. Nick Warren joined Jake Wilson and the pair put their heads down to get the score to 110 when Wilson went for 15 off 68 balls. Warren remained 27 * off 80. In reply Uni’s first wicket fell at 31. That triggered an amazing collapse with the weather closing in. With Warren bagging 4 Uni. was 7-75 at stumps. Day 2 saw Warren (5-48) immediately pick up a wicket reducing the score to 8-75. A gritty partnership of 25 looked like getting the Premiers home until Scicluna affected a good run-out to have them 9-100. State player Sean Abbott remained in control but with the score 9-109 skipper Adam Semple took the ball and bowled one of his best-ever off-cutters to hit the stumps of no. 11 Somerville for a win by the barest of margins—one run! • In the 4th Grade match against Northern District at Petersham it looked all over when ND’s lost their 9th wicket for 153 chasing the RPC total of 9-244 declared. However the last two batsmen defied everything thrown at them to hang on for 20 overs while putting on 53 to force a draw. • Chasing Parramatta’s 254 in 5th Grade at Kensington, number 10 batsman Nathan Stares faced 63 balls for 8 runs to assist number 9 Mitchell Selwood (41 off 63) hold on for a draw. When Selwood fell with one ball remaining Cam Fowler managed a single to see stumps with the score a perilous 9 for 148. • At 9 for 214 chasing the RPC total of 245 it looked all over for Bankstown in the 2nd Grade match at Bankstown Oval. However batsmen 9 and 11 played with plenty of resolve putting on 35 for the last wicket to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat! • A disappointing total of 7-174 (cc) in a 3rd Grade limited overs match against North Sydney at Bon Andrews Oval appeared enough when Norths slumped to 9-141. However, a fighting last wicket unconquered partnership of 34 between nos. 8 and 11 saw the points slip away from our grasp with 4 balls remaining. • At 3 for 46 Manly was coasting to victory in the 4th Grade match at Petersham Oval chasing RPC’s meagre total of 98. However, 15 years old Green Shield captain Henry Thornton proceeded to rip through the Manly middle order picking up the amazing figures of 5-9 from 6 overs to see Manly slump to 9-59 before being all out for just 76. • RPC’s 80 was a poor score in the 3rd Grade game against Hawkesbury at Petersham. From 2-54 the Hawks lost 5 for 15 to slump to 7 for 69 before the tail eventually edged past the total 8 down. • 4th Grade were doing it easy at 1-30 chasing Gordon’s paltry 91 at Beauchamp Park. However a loss of 7 for 27 saw the score slump to 8-57. The scoreline was 9-83 when last man Grant Rimmer Joined Raj Routray. After scoring 5 of the required 9 to win Rimmer was adjudged lbw and the game was lost. • In the Poidevin-Gray match against Northern District at Petersham, RPC crashed to 7 for 93 chasing 192. Dylan Smith (41 not out) found assistance from the lower order with Soumil Chhibber (26) and Jarryd Biviano (16) batting with good skill. With one over to go RPC needed 14 but even with Hayden McLean striking a massive six down the ground, RPC finished 1 run short at 9-191. • Poidevin-Gray leaders Sutherland looked poised for an easy win with 268 on the board at Glen McGrath Oval. Some lusty hitting got RPC to 7-263 with 2 balls to go. A wicket on the second last ball and only 2 runs off the last saw the side go down by just 3 runs and miss out on a place in the top 8 for the finals.

79 Phil Tresidder Memorial Golf Day A Randwick Petersham Cricket Legends event

A total of 66 hopefuls took to the lush fairways under glorious sunny skies at Beverley Park Golf Course on Friday 19 October 2012 in quest of the Phil Tresidder Memorial Cup. With 16 teams recording sub-par rounds off the stick, birdies were the order of the day although course member John Hayward displayed a bit of local knowledge by chipping in for an eagle 3 on the first hole!

The 10th running of the Phil Tresidder Memorial Cup resulted in a win at last for the Ross Davies group who have been runners-up a number of times over the years. Making the trip from his home in Merimbula and playing off a generous 21, “Roscoe” led from the front ably assisted by Mike Kemp (14), Kevin Felton (16) and Chris Burke (27) who came up from the Central Coast for the event. They hit 59 off the stick with 11 birdies on the par 70 layout to finish with a net 49.25! And we thought last year’s 51.375 winning score was good! Congratulations to the team. They have played together for years in this event and it is good to see their names finally etched on the Cup. Once again Michael Tresidder was on hand to present the trophy which bears his late uncle’s name and we are very grateful to Michael for his regular attendance at what is one of the “Legends” big days each year. He is seen here with Mike Kemp (red shirt), Kevin Felton, Chris Burke and Ross Davies who has a firm grip on the Cup!

Runner–up was the team of Trevor Jay (6), Alan Turner (18), Gary Bensley (13) and Alan Wright (18) four of the true legends of the former Randwick Cricket Club who hit 13 BIRDIES in their scratch total of 57 (same as last year’s winners) but with a handicap of just 6.875 their net 50.125 couldn’t overhaul Roscoe’s group.

Third place went to John Warwick (10), Paul Ledwidge (18), Donn Ledwidge (17) and Ben Ellis (18) who hit 60 off the stick or 10 under par to give them a net 52.125 after their handicap of 7.875. Ben had a big day by taking out the first prize in the raffle which was a custom fitted golf driver donated by Nick Warren of www.golfclubs.com.au. The fact Ben bought just about all the raffle tickets no doubt helped his cause but no-one could begrudge him the win as he has been a wonderful supporter of this event for many years. Congratulations Ben Ellis!

Mike Whitney was called in to work the day before the event so couldn’t contest the Bradman Trophy which he and his group took out the first three years. And while an honourable mention was in order for the two man team of Anthony McGinness and Dene Neilsen who couldn’t compete against the full groups, the Bradman was awarded to the last placed team of four which comprised Graeme Marston (13), Christine Marston (29), Paul Rowe (18) and Bryan Rowe(18). Showing just what a tough school this event is they came in with 3 UNDER par and a net 57.25. They were only 8 shots from the winners.

Closest to the Pin prizes went to Peter Rolls (3rd hole), Peter Bayley (10th hole) and David Bourke (13th hole) while Mike Kemp who won the 17th hole Long Drive last year really smoked one over 300 metres to take the prize.

All in all, a successful day netting a profit of $1,605 which goes into The Phil Tresidder Scholarship which provides promising young Randwick Petersham cricketers with a development grant for a season in England. It was also good to see the field comprise 29 current financial “Legends” members, 16 of whom were Life Members.

We are grateful for the many donors of prizes including Mark Sundin of Expedition Kayaks, David Kelly from Sydney CC, Brett Hunter, Christine Marston who donated a golf bag and Nick Warren. Many thanks also to Chris Sullivan and Matt Hilder for their assistance with the organisation of the event and to David Townsend who stepped in as MC when Mike Whitney was called away.

80 The Phil Tresidder Memorial Scholarship

Phil Tresidder was a wonderful supporter of cricket and the Randwick and Randwick Petersham clubs. During his lifetime he was probably the best known sports writer in the country through his association with the Daily Telegraph. As President of Randwick he was committed to the merger with Petersham-Marrickville in 2001 and it was a fitting tribute to his dedication to that cause that he was installed Joint Patron with Noel Hughes following the birth of Randwick Petersham. Sadly, he passed away in late 2003 aged 75.

Phil had a good eye for cricketing talent and on many occasions personally funded many young cricketers on overseas trips to assist them in the development of their game. He was of the view that the experience gained from playing in different and varying conditions was invaluable in the enhancement of young skills in challenging situations and environments. It was in this knowledge that Phil’s family included in his funeral notice in the Sydney press a request that in lieu of flowers a contribution be made towards a fund to be established to assist young club cricketers with their costs in playing overseas.

With such contributions and certain generous donations from the Tresidder family coupled with the proceeds of the Phil Tresidder Memorial Golf Day over the past 10 years, the Phil Tresidder Memorial Scholarship began operation last season when 21 years old pace bowler Nick Charlwood was named as the first scholarship recipient under the scheme. Nick played for Westcliff CC in Essex, England.

This season promising all-rounder Shaun Eaton was named as the recipient of the second Phil Tresidder Memorial Scholarship. He is currently in England playing with Chingford Cricket Club, Walthamstow which plays in the Essex League. Early reports indicate he is displaying his undoubted talent with some outstanding performances.

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 a number of directors. The current directors are Peter Wright (Chairman), club President Mike Whitney and long established “legends” of the club Alan Turner, John Pearson, Lyall Gardner and Wayne Mulherin who replaced Steve Devlin following his resignation during the year due to business and family pressures. Lyall Gardner also acts as the trustee secretary.

We extend our grateful thanks to Steve Devlin for his expertise and loyal contribution over the many years he has held the position as a director of the Foundation.

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 10 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 $118,245.45 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. We therefore welcome any donations from the many friends of Randwick Petersham Cricket.

81 Our Grounds by David Bourke Assessment of grounds is undertaken by NSW Cricket each year as a means of advising clubs how well their grounds are performing as viewed by umpires.

This season Coogee rated 4th out of the 22 1st Grade grounds, up from 13th position in the 2011-12 season. Coogee has been steadily improving since 2007-08 when it was placed 18th out of 20, and is now regarded as one of the premier grounds in the competition. Green Options are to be congratulated on their continued hard work down at Coogee to achieve this result.

Petersham this season was ranked disappointingly 38th out of 39 lower grade grounds (down from 26th out of 41 in 2011-12) which is a major disappointment and will be addressed in the future. Kensington was ranked a fantastic 4th out of 39 (up from 22nd out of 41 in 2011-12) and Snape was 26th out of 41 (up from 28th out of 41 in 2011-12).

As a means of earning income we have a number of outside clubs who use our grounds during the season. These include Eastern Suburbs CC (who used Snape and Kensington as home grounds), the South Eastern Junior Cricket Association, Marist College Pagewood, Marcellin College Randwick and Sydney Boys High School. A number of other entities use our grounds on a one-off basis for corporate and social cricket matches.

The Snape nets were available for players on both Tuesdays and Thursdays while Marrickville Oval was used for a number of Metropolitan Cup matches and by Newington College.

The club continues to suffer from rubbish left by players in change rooms and we are indebted to Matt Hilder who has helped with cleaning at Coogee, Petersham, Kensington and Snape. Thanks also to Peter Devlin and Wayne Mulherin who liaised extensively with the Green Options team, Randwick Council and Marrickville Council, and the team from Green Options for their continued help in managing grounds. The Museum Randwick Petersham Cricket Museum, Coogee Oval by John Stewart, Museum Curator The “Randy Petes” Museum has grown more this season with items received from former players in Australia and overseas. The standout item found this year was a Petersham District Cricket Club members badge from 1914-15. Thank you to the Legends Society for purchasing and donating this historic item to the museum.

Thank you to Robyn Lilienthal, daughter of former Marrickville cricketer Maurie, and the Lilienthal family who generously donated his 4th Grade Premiership 1936-37, A Grade Shires Premiers 1937-38 and Poidevin-Gray Premier’s 1937-38 caps as well as an action photograph and his cricket boots! Also thank you to Randy Petes’ rep players Simon Katich, Cameron Borgas and Jon Lewis who generously donated their signed playing shirts.

It was great to see many Legends viewing the museum on Ladies/ Legends Day particularly the Chegwyn Clan and members of the Randwick 1st Grade team, 1965-66 including Ron Crippin, Keith Edwards, and Greg Homann.

Thanks to Bobby Barter, Lyall Gardner, Michael Whitney, Peter Devlin, Bill Anderson and Damian Sidney for their assistance and support this year. Particular thanks to Aden Nawaz for the striking club decals on the museum doors and Chris Scicluna for the new upholstered club chairs. It’s greatly appreciated. Furthermore, thanks to all club members who have generously donated or loaned items.

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 treasured. The museum conveys the history of our club, celebrating all players, volunteers and supporters associated with RPCC who have made the club into what it is today.

The Tour, a fab bunch of competitive mates who love the adrenalin rush of rivalry no matter how crap they play. Mate v mate who thrive on this journey of golf and hope their destination results in a close game with plenty of banter over a beer at the 19th! Long Live de Tour!!!

83 Junior Development Report by David Townsend, Junior Development Manager

The Randwick-Petersham Junior Development Program again looked to provide free coaching for the various schools and clubs that fall within the geographical boundaries of the club.

Club secretaries and school cricket contacts were written to before the start of the season to offer them a number of alternatives regarding what type of coaching assistance they would like. This varied from running standard net sessions at practise, modified cricket games for younger players, specialist batting, bowling or fielding coaching or centre wicket situations. Many of the clubs and schools opted for standard sessions as our coaches worked with a variety of teams and age groups.

We were lucky enough to have the services of current 1st Grade batsman Nick Stapleton to do the majority of our coaching. Nick was excellent and well received wherever he went and was backed up by club Assistant Coach David Skuthorpe and 1st Grade batsman John McLoughlin.

Our coaches visited cricketers in both the Inner West and Eastern Suburbs, including Earlwood Wanderers Cricket Club, Randwick Junior Cricket Club, Cranbrook College, Newington College, South Sydney-Mount Carmel and Coogee Public School. In addition we worked with the Universities Women’s Club for the first time.

The aim of our program is to create a harmonious working relationship with all local clubs and schools and provide opportunities for young cricketers in the area to have a pathway through to playing cricket for the Randwick Petersham Club. We encourage all local clubs and schools to take advantage of this offer of free coaching sessions for next season. We would love to assist with setting up a cricket program or working with their teams. I look forward to working with them all again next season.

President’s Report for 2012-13 Season

The South Eastern Junior Cricket Association (SEJCA) continues to provide quality cricket for young boys and girls in the Southern and Eastern Suburbs of Sydney. The season just completed included a number of highlights: • The Watson Shield side won the competition, capping off a great 7 years of representative cricket. This team has won 5 shields and is arguably the most successful side to play in the NSWDCA inter-association competition. • The Association expanded its representative program to provide further development for quality cricketers in the region. This included fielding 3 additional teams in the Presidents Cup competition, which is a competition run across 8 associations for the Under 11s, 12s and 13s. The Association now runs 10 representative sides from the under 10s through to the under 16s • Two of our representative sides competed at Lismore and Newcastle carnivals as well as 5 sides involved with the Kookaburra Cup in Canberra • SEJCA expanded the final series so sides that finished in places 5 to 8 could also have a taste of finals cricket. This competition was run as a Twenty20 gala day with the winner collecting the ‘plate’ for that age group. • We continue to work with Cricket NSW and NSWDCA to encourage more youth to play the great game of cricket, by providing a variety of formats for all cricketers and more representative matches for our elite cricketers. • Randwick Juniors again won the Phil O’Sullivan shield for the Club Championship. The Easts Juniors Cadres won our premier under 16 competition. • Out of area clubs such as Balmain and Concord Briars expanded the number of teams that competed in the competition, confirming our role as a leading junior association • We continue to be encouraged by the number of young kids playing Milo cricket under the stewardship of three different clubs. Our focus is to maintain these numbers through the years into competitive cricket. We look forward to continuing to work with Randwick Petersham in providing a pathway for our young cricketers, including the use of Snape, Kensington and Coogee Ovals and the use of Snape nets.

84 Coaching by Grant Rimmer, Coaching Co-Ordinator

Pre-season training this season was conducted at Matraville Sports High School. There are four synthetic nets with ample run ups and a grass area where fielding sessions can be held. In pre-season training, Matt Dwyer from the Cricket NSW Strength and Conditioning Department spoke to the players about the benefits of dynamic stretching. He then provided the playing group with a structured warm-up that all teams could do. I am pleased to report that all teams took this information on board and incorporated this into their game-day preparation and many players were seen using the dynamic warm-up prior to the weekday training. We are moving away from the days of a lap around the oval and a static stretch. At pre-season training, players were also given direct instruction on correct throwing technique by former Australian baseballer Ross Morrison.

I thought it was a successful pre-season judging by the results in the first two rounds where RPC recorded only one loss over 10 games.

Training throughout the season was held at Snape Park every Tuesday and Thursday. 1st and 2nd Grade players were seen at training regularly throughout the whole season and 4th Grade also contributed heavily to training numbers. It is no secret that these were the strongest performing teams in the club and so this correlation is quite easily seen.

I must make mention of Ani Rao who volunteered a lot of this time at training to take individuals for fielding sessions throughout the session. It enabled other coaches in the club to be freed up to focus on net sessions and one-to-one batting sessions. Ani had to travel a long way to get to Maroubra and we appreciate his efforts.

Darren Smith was fantastic in his role. He added a lot of enthusiasm to fielding drills and the players benefitted from game-sense scenarios. Darren also was seen around the nets and offered technical advice, particularly to lower grade players. Darren played a few games throughout the season in lower grades and was able to see these players in a game atmosphere.

Once again, David Skuthorpe was invaluable with his work with many players in the club. He would often work on specific weaknesses and would follow this up the next week. David also had to step in to organise batting groups at training. Eddie Otto and David once again took the reins of Green Shield and produced some good results. It is a tough competition, requiring a lot of background work as well as watching seven games in a fortnight.

We must acknowledge the efforts of Stan Beale who was able to coordinate these groups at pre-season training and at different times throughout the year.

Higher grade players were in the excellent hands of Gavin Twining and Andrew Millican for individual batting sessions during the week.

I must make mention of Anthony Sams who took the wicketkeepers in the club for high-quality drills on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Anthony worked with ‘keepers from 2nd Grade to Metro Cup and I am sure the bowlers in the club appreciated his efforts to help them take that stumping or a screamer down leg-side!

Tim Wright from The Wright Physio visited training for hands-on sessions relating to core strength and talked to the young bowlers in our club about the importance of this aspect and gave many ideas and drills for these bowlers to maintain and get stronger throughout the season. We thank Tim for his time and input.

It was pleasing to see the development of a number of players this season, in particular Nathan Ellis and Hayden McLean. They have worked extremely hard in the last few seasons and are seeing the rewards now. They are seeing doing some quality work in the nets and then fielding drills. One great trainer in the club is Daniel Sams. Always one of the first at training, he would do a thorough warm-up and then head to the nets where he would bowl for a considerable time. He would then work with Darren or Ani on fielding, have his bat and then return to the nets and bowl as the light is fading. A true professional and an excellent role model for other players in the club.

In terms of each session, there were a few additions. Players would spend up to 12 minutes in their net session and then do further work if required with a batting mentor. We had three turf nets in use for the majority of the season and sometimes a fourth for the use of slow bowlers and spinners. This year, upon arrival at training, players used a system where they would allocate themselves to a net. This had a number of benefits because the player then knew exactly what time they would be batting and plan their session around that time. Bowlers could then break their session up into parts, according to their needs.

Congratulations to all award winners. I think the club has a good nucleus of young players that will form the basis of higher grades in years to come.

86 Report from the Financial Controller

Financially, the 2012-13 season was a rebuilding one for the club, being in a challenging revenue environment no doubt partly due to the Global Financial Crisis. The club has gone to great lengths to bolster our financial position during the year. Particular merit goes to our sponsorship committee headed by Neale Anderson for securing increased sponsorship and advertising revenue streams, not just during this year but also for the coming years. The club also derived greater income from effective management of ground hire and the hard work of David Bourke as grounds co-ordinator has been instrumental in maximising our bookings over the year.

The President’s Lunch this year was a clear benchmark-setter both socially and financially and Chris Sullivan must be recognised for assembling such an impressive lineup. We will undoubtedly see the benefits from the returning attendees next year.

Upward pressure on costs continues to challenge, with ground maintenance and equipment costs increasing. The club is very hopeful of some assistance from Marrickville Council next year, allowing us to give renewed focus on the upkeep of Petersham Oval. Wayne Mulherin has been working very hard to secure this funding and we are confident of being able to return the ground to its former glory. The club hopes to be able to commit greater funding towards coaching over the coming year to build on our great results to date.

With the valued contribution of $14,500 from the Randwick Petersham Cricket Foundation the club has been able to report a surplus of $26,247. Maintaining a contingency balance is of great importance in keeping the club strong and competitive and the committee will be balancing this against the operational expenditure for the coming year. James Tyson Financial Controller

To My Brothers and Sisters,

“What Might Have Been”

Looking o’er the season, And the battles on the green, There is food for much reflection In the phrase, “What might have been.”

If the fielding had been better, Mainly, that’s how things went wrong, If the chances had been taken, When they freely came along.

But then I guess that’s “cricket,” And we had our share of luck. We can take reverses smiling, And the patches that we struck.

So let’s forget the “moaning,” The future’s still serene, Let’s win the “Comp” next season, No more “What might have been!!” By Albert Francis Lenertz, Vice President Marrickville DCC, 1938-39
