16. CHAIRMAN’S REPORT

The 2019/20 financial year and cricket season was another successful one for PCC as it seeks to become (or otherwise remain) the leading cricket club across the Auckland region, as stated in the Club’s 3-year Strategic Plan. I summarise the year as follows:

1. Overview In terms of playing numbers we were similar to last season with almost 900 players while our successful re-introduction of women’s cricket continued into its 3rd season after a 9-year hiatus. PCC won the highly prestigious ACA Club of the Year Award for the first time in 27 years, and only the 6th time since ACA records began in 1905.

The Club had three players chosen for the BLACKCAPS during the season - Lockie Ferguson, Will Somerville and Mark Chapman. Mark also represented New Zealand A against India A. Those three, plus Ben Horne and ex BLACKCAP Corey Anderson (joining us from Northern Districts), represented the Auckland Aces with merit over the summer. Mark Chapman was awarded Auckland Aces Batsman of the Year.

Our Men’s Premier team won the Hedley Howarth Trophy, ACA’s 2-day cricket competition, for the second time over the past 6 seasons after leading the points table virtually throughout the season. In addition it competed in both the Jeff Crowe Cup (50-over cricket) and T20 finals only to lose narrowly in both. This team went close to winning all 3 playing formats, a feat only achieved once before (by Takapuna CC in 201617).

In addition our Men’s 2nd XI came within 2 points of winning the Men’s Prem Reserve Major 2-day competition, finishing a close second to Cornwall, and came second equal in the 50-over competition, both formats having 8 teams competing. Our 3rd XI came third equal in its 2-day competition, and second equal in its 50-over competition, both formats also having 8 teams competing. Our 4th XI won its competition and has been promoted up a grade from next season as a result. All 4 teams performed very strongly, a credit to the captaincy, coaching, management and team spirit of each.

Our Junior rep results were also very pleasing with representation at EDCA level finishing at 40 PCC rep players chosen in total making up 35% of EDCA’s total numbers across all 7 grades (boys and girls).

Our financial results were good despite the impact of COVID-19 resulting in our Terry Jarvis Centre being closed from 25th March and no income being generated from this facility over the last 5 weeks of the financial year. A small profit of $2,822 was recorded overall while we had $128,179 cash in the bank at balance date ($125,576 12 months prior). Our revenue was slightly below prior year at $407,164.

PCC’s performance in meeting a wide range of targets, as set by ACA in our Partnership Agreement with them, was very good with over 90% of targets likely to be met resulting in PCC being one of the leading clubs across the Auckland region in this respect (16 clubs in total).

Volunteer relations were positive overall, this reflective of the efforts and experience of our Junior, Senior and Women’s Chairs and their respective Committees, our Junior Grade Co-ordinators, and our Board.

Finally, the Club benefitted greatly from the services of its Director of Cricket (Phil Horne) in his third full season with us, ably supported by Steve Hurdley as Club Administrator in his 11th consecutive year.

2. Senior Men Playing Results: ACA titles won:  Men’s Premier: Hedley Howarth Trophy, 2-day competition and overall championship  Men’s 4th XI: 2-day competition and overall championship  PCC Super Eagles: 4a minor championship  Parnell RCC: 1A, T20 Central / East pre-Xmas championship  Parnell Soldiers: 1A, T20 Central / East post-Xmas championship ACA awards won:  Most Runs, Premier Women: Yaz Kareem  Most Premier Dismissals, Premier Men: Harry Miller  Highest Score at Eden Park: Mark Chapman  Aces’ Batsman of the Year: Mark Chapman  Most Positive Premier Grade Club Player: Brad Rodden  Coach of the Year: Ian West

17. Our Men’s Prem team performed admirably once again and was a credit to the Club, always playing within the spirit of cricket under the inspirational captaincy of Brad Rodden and coaching of Ian West, both in their second year at PCC with their respective roles. Brad went on to win ACA’s Most Positive Premier Grade Club Player (while being voted as Premier Captain of the Year in the prior season), a testament to his strong leadership, positivity and constant sense of fair play and sportsmanship. Ian won ACA’s prestigious Club Coach of the Year Award for the first time, thoroughly deserved given his dedication, planning and attention to detail. In addition Ian coached the Auckland A squad with success throughout the season, a busy summer for him. As team captain and coach respectively they, along with team manager John Fisher, formed a formidable leadership and support group across this team over the season.

As mentioned, our Men's 2nd, 3rd and 4th XI’s all performed strongly, a credit to the following leadership:

 Seconds (Premier Reserves): Razin Bharde (captain) and Roy Goodyear (coach/manager)  Thirds (Senior 3rd Grade): Mehul Chhagan (captain) and Peter Hickman (manager)  Fourths (Senior 7th Grade): James Partridge (captain)

The Club’s President’s Grade team continued to compete strongly in this successful and popular competition, flying the Club’s flag and good name with pride while producing a strong camaraderie over recent years.

I would like to thank Peter Hickman (Senior Chairman) and Ashwin Haran (Club Captain) for their untiring efforts in welcoming newcomers to the Club, keeping tabs on the availability of players, co-ordinating the team selections process each week, and managing the Club’s communication network via Facebook each week.

In addition I would also like to thank a small group of the Men’s Premier team supporters for their very loyal following of the team across the season: Phil Horne, Bryan Haggitt, Craig Speakman and Marc O’Gorman come to mind along with many of the parents and friends of the players. Craig’s large volume of playing photos, across all teams, were posted by himself on our Facebook page diligently each week and appear throughout our Annual Report (yellow book). In addition Lana West’s creation of the PCC Rose Garden, and its attraction of a good number of female supporters, was a welcome addition from February.

Senior Representatives The following men’s senior players won representative honours over the season:  Lockie Ferguson NZ BLACKCAPS and Auckland Aces  Will Somerville NZ BLACKCAPS and Auckland Aces  Mark Chapman NZ BLACKCAPS and Auckland Aces  Ben Horne Auckland Aces, Auckland A  Corey Anderson Auckland Aces, Auckland A  Ollie Pringle Auckland A  Brad Rodden Auckland A  Jack Parsons Auckland A  Josh Fisher Auckland A  Nathan Robinson NZ Maori Schooboys and Auckland U19  Nikith Perera Auckland U19  Seb Macdonald Auckland U17

3. Female Cricket: The Club competed for the third year running in ACA’s Women’s Premier and Premier Reserve competitions, a tribute to the determination and focus of PCC Board director Gemma Lord, ably supported by Rob Nicol, Stephanie Carr and Shannon Carr as team coaches.

The 2019/20 season was both an exciting and challenging time for female cricket at PCC. A new look coaching panel and an intensive, yet enjoyable, winter programme led by Rob Nicol helped prepare the entire squad for both the Premier and Premier Reserve competitions. The Premier team had their most successful season yet for PCC since the side was re-established within the club 3 years ago, and the Premier Reserves continued to demonstrate their form of the previous 2 seasons. This is a testament to the attitudes and calibre of all our female cricketers currently in the club.

With a steady start to the season, the Premier side found their on-field success just prior to Christmas with 3 consecutive wins in the T20 competition, and a number of representative selections across the entire squad, both junior and senior (see below). With several victories in the 50-over competition for our Premiers, and many T20 wins throughout the season for the Reserves, the second half of the summer brought about many strong individual performances across both grades.

PCC is extremely proud of our female cricketers and the way in which they conduct themselves both on and off the field. In addition, the ladies continue to be great supporters of our men’s senior teams and bring a positive and caring culture to the club. Special mention to Premier player and captain, Stephanie Carr for stepping into the role of head coach for the last quarter of this season, her efforts and commitment to the team have not gone unnoticed.

PCC remains very committed towards the development and growth of girl’s / women’s cricket and we are well placed to take advantage of the new strategic direction of NZ Cricket in also focussing strongly on female participation and high performance in the sport.

The following female players won representative honours over the season:  Olivia Lobb Northern Spirit (Contracted Player)  Shriya Naidu Northern Spirit Squad  Ella Drumm NZ Maori Secondary Schoolgirls 18.  Madison Curran Developing Future Hearts Squad  Yaz Kareem Auckland Under 21  Lexy Bassett Auckland U19  Jess Barker Auckland U19  Emma Irwin Auckland U19  Kate Irwin Auckland U15 (Captain)

4. Junior Playing Results:

ACA titles won (from U-12 to U-16):  Under 12 Boys, mid-week pre-Xmas T20 competition: Parnell Gold  Under 12 Boys, Limited Over 30 competition: Parnell Rainger

ACA District Tournaments (U-15 to U-19): In terms of Auckland Districts junior rep cricket EDCA performed strongly once again although the overall winner of the Peter Badley Shield was Central Districts (Cornwall and Ellerslie combined) for the first time in many years. This season saw a significantly changed format across the age groups with the grade 7 and 8 tournaments disbanded (i.e. U-13’s) and more emphasis placed on T20 cricket for development players. EDCA was expertly led once again by PCC’s James Dudson as Chairman for the second year running, while the quality of coaching and general administration remained at a high level. PCC’s relationship with its 2 other EDCA clubs, AUCC and GUCC, remains strong.

Annual junior rep fixtures against neighbouring clubs (grades 3 to 7):

v. Auckland University CC Nov 2019 6 wins, 4 losses v. Howick Pakuranga CC Dec 2019 8 wins, 2 losses v. Cornwall CC Dec 2019 4 wins, 7 losses v. Grafton United CC Feb 2020 4 wins, 4 losses

The Club took part in the second year running of the J T Sparling Super Series against the above 4 clubs - please refer to our Junior Chairman’s Report for more details. These impressive results are reflective of the quality and quantity of the Club’s professional and volunteer coaching. PCC was able to secure the following trophies within the JTS Super Series: Grades 4A and 7A, both handsome trophies now on display in our clubrooms.

I would like to thank the following people for their contributions over the year:  Jeremy Boucher for his strong commitment as our Junior Chairman, now having completed his 4th year in this role.  All volunteers who give up their time to see the Club and their respective team(s) enjoy a happy and successful season.  All Grade Coordinators (Year 1 to Year 8) and Members of the Junior Committee.  James Dudson for his role in representing PCC on the ECDA Committee, EDCA Chairman over the last 2 seasons, selecting EDCA teams, appointing coaches, arranging winter trainings, ensuring EDCA performed well across the range of ACA District Tournaments (boys and girls), arranging trust grant funding, levies to players and clubs, financial control and reporting etc.

5. PCC Board of Directors and Management The 2019/20 year saw a continuation of the same Board that was in place during the prior year. In addition, Rod Smith has remained as PCC’s President over 2019/20, a role which he has held since 2014 while also being Club Chairman for 8 seasons prior to that. Rod attended our Board meetings upon the invitation of myself. Respective Board roles have been as follows:

 Chairman Craig Presland  Women’s Chair Gemma Lord  Junior Chairman Jeremy Boucher  Senior Men’s Chairman Peter Hickman  Honorary Secretary Craig Speakman  Honorary Treasurer Greg James

In addition, Kelly Baxter became a Board member at last year’s AGM. Board meetings covered 10 workstreams, these as follows along with respective responsibilities for each:

1. On field performance: Craig P, Peter, Gemma 2. Health and Safety All 3. Finance: Greg 4. Facilities and Grounds: Rod, Craig P 5. Marketing and Sponsorship: Kelly 6. Coaching: Greg 7. Female Cricket: Gemma 8. Culture and Diversity All 9. Schools: Jeremy 10. Volunteer Relations: Jeremy, Peter, Gemma

Our Director of Cricket, Phil Horne, has played an active role across on all 10 workstreams over the past 3 years, while he has also attended all Board meetings.

19. I would like to thank PCC’s hard-working Board, Rod, Phil and Steve for their dedicated efforts and commitment, and absolute passion for PCC and the game itself over the past 12 months. The level of knowledge and experience, as well as ability and willingness to roll their sleeves up and makes things happen, has been impressive.

6. Strategic Plan, 1st January 2020 to 31st December 2022. In July 2016 our Board, Rod, Bryan and Steve agreed upon a 3-year Strategic Plan after conducting a SWOT analysis across each of the above 10 workstreams as well as seeking feedback from Club Members. As part of this 3-year plan we have set priorities for our resources (time and $ funds), while this plan has been summarized as a one-page document that sits on display in our clubrooms during the season. This plan was reviewed and updated in November 2019, effective from 1st January 2020, and covers key goals and measures across each work stream. In addition the Club has developed a Risk Register as we seek to better understand and mitigate the Club’s risks more effectively.

7. Financial Results Our financial results were pleasing given the impact of COVID-19 with a small profit of $2,822 being recorded, ($5,562 loss prior year), while the Club had $128,179 in its bank accounts at balance date, ($125,567 prior year).

Capital expenditure included the upgrade of the nearby Martyn Wilson Field in conjunction with St Kentigern School, a concrete wicket base and new astro-turf surface being installed in November 2019.

The Club was prudent in its spending throughout the financial year while capital expenditure was targeted at areas of need. PCC invested 30% of its revenues directly into coaching (30% over the prior year as well), and another 31% into administration (32% prior year), both resulting in a high level of support and value provided to our playing members, parents and volunteers while our player subscriptions have remained competitive with neighbouring clubs. Note that Parnell does not pay players to play, only to coach, unlike a number of other clubs who employ professionals to boost their playing strength.

Our collection of subscriptions, TJC hiring fees, bar takings and event revenues has been diligent.

8. Sponsorship PCC remains extremely grateful for the support from its 2 key commercial partners in Ascot Radiology and Player Sports, along with all other sponsors. A big thanks to these local businesses for their valued and ongoing contributions which enable the club to provide its high level of coaching and administrative support for its players. We could not provide the same cricket experience for our members without this funding. Ascot Radiology, in particular, has been very loyal to PCC since 2011/12 and we have so much to thank this organisation for.

Other sponsors supporting PCC over 2019/20 were as follows: Steen Nielsen - Ray White Remuera, Mt Eden Chiropractic, Findex, East Imperial, The Turkish Bread Company and The Corner Bar.

9. Coaching Ian West became PCC’s new Head Coach in May 2018 and has since proven to be a popular, hard-working and successful appointment for the Club, thoroughly deserving his ACA Club Coach of the Year Award for the season just completed. The remainder of our coaching staff included Roy Goodyear, Cam Rope, Ollie Pringle and four capable young English player / coaches in Callum McCarthy, James Hook, Harry Prince and Luke Trimming. All 8 coaches listed proved to be effective and well-respected across our senior and junior players, parents, volunteers and supporters.

10. Facilities PCC is planning to upgrade its existing pavilion by adding a bar, women’s and men’s toilets, and an outside deck (at ground level), this project in conjunction with Grammar Juniors Rugby. Greg James is currently leading this project.

In terms of the development of the Shore Rd Reserve itself, PCC is now seeking an Auckland Council funded upgrade of Bloodworth Park so that its playing surface and drainage is on a par with Shore Rd. Once competed PCC intends building a 2- storey pavilion, at its own cost, close to the playing boundary of what would become the main playing oval of the club. While we were unsuccessful in gaining Auckland Council funding in October 2019, estimated at around $2.0 million, we have been encouraged to re-apply for funds in October 2020.

Final thanks and welcome Finally, I would like to thank Phil Horne for his outstanding contribution to the club in his third year as Director of Cricket overseeing the entire operations of PCC. He has been an inspiration to us all with his passion and dedication to PCC and all that the Club stands for and will leave big shoes to fill. We wish you all the best Phil. Phil has been ably supported by our Club Administrator, Steve Hurdley, now working with us for 9 months of each financial year and in his 11th year with the Club. Hussain Hanif, who was raised in Auckland and had been working for Cricket Victoria and the Melbourne Renegades in recent years, replaced Phil in late April 2020 following Phil’s resignation. While the 2019/20 season was a very successful one for the club, led by the performances of our Men’s Premier team, the emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic from mid-March left a strange end to the season with both junior and senior cricket cancelled over the last 2 weekends and club prizegiving’s unable to be held in April and most likely postponed until September / October. I am confident that PCC is one of the best administered cricket clubs across the Auckland region if not nationally. Well done Phil and Steve, and a big welcome to Hussain. We look forward to the season ahead!

Craig Presland PCC Chairman

20. JUNIOR CHAIRMAN’S REPORT

The 2019 / 20 season will be remembered as an excellent season for the Club and it gives me great pleasure to present the Club with my report of the season.

This season saw all clubs across Auckland bed down year 2 of the NZ Cricket Age and Stage playing formats and Parnell Cricket Club successfully played some quality and enjoyable cricket at all age levels. It has been satisfying to reflect on this outcome in the light of the challenge and drama that the prior season presented to all involved in cricket. The 2019 / 20 season will also be remembered for the amazing weather that we were most fortunate to enjoy. As I cast my mind back across the season, I cannot remember more than 2-3 weekends disrupted by weather across the season which must make it one of the most cricket friendly seasons in living memory.

Year 2 of the NZ Cricket Age and Stage rules played out positively with all coaches and teams fully accustomed to the playing formats and regulations. Whilst there is undoubtedly more to do in the set up of the game under these regulations there can be no question that the formats are producing a more enjoyable experience for our junior players. Our players at all levels now understand the format of cricket on a Saturday and familiarisation has of course led to confidence and growth amongst many of our players. This has been something that many coaches have reflected on with satisfaction. Whilst our numbers as a junior club were slightly down this season vs the last season, the overall numbers across Auckland showed some directionally positive results with more players participating in the game.

We remain fully supportive of NZ Cricket and Auckland Cricket as we work to take the learnings from this season into next. I am pleased to report as I did last year that both of our parent bodies are showing an openness and willingness to take our feedback on board and there are some positive amendments being deployed for season 20 / 21. As administrators of the game we continue to face into the threats posed on the well being and participation of cricket by other summer sports and indeed some winter sports. We will continue to do all we can to embrace new formats and new experiences of cricket as we head into the future.

As a PCC Board, we are working hard to deliver to our ambition of being the ‘preferred’ cricket club across the Auckland region. Central to that ambition is our Club Mantra which enshrines a philosophy of equal opportunity for all players with an emphasis on fun and enjoyment at all levels of the junior club. Delivering on the Club Mantra on an annual basis is a challenge and I am grateful to the coaches, managers, parents and volunteers that we have at the Club for their embracing of this philosophy. It will remain at the core of what we target into the coming season.

One of the best expressions of this philosophy has been the festival of cricket that has again been delivered on a Friday night at the Shore Road club rooms. Our talented team of coaches and administrators, led by Steve Hurdley, delivers a fun and enjoyable session where our youngest players (aged 4-6) are given the opportunity to develop some foundation skills and work towards a game environment. The sessions finish with a sausage sizzle and the bar is open for parents and caregivers to welcome in the weekend whilst their charges hopefully kick start a lifelong love for the game. I commend this Friday evening experience to all of you and ask that you continue to spread the word across your networks to ensure the PCC playing numbers at this age remain robust. It is a key age group for us to attract players and we need all the help that our community can generate.

Grades 2-8 all saw many teams participating in Saturday morning and of course some Saturday afternoon cricket. Most of this cricket is T20 format cricket played at pace, with shorter wickets, shorter boundaries and fielding restrictions. Other formats were also bedded down including mid-week T20 and Saturday afternoon T30. The enjoyment that was witnessed first-hand and relayed through feedback received across the season was very satisfying.

We continue to remain committed to the development and growth of female cricket at PCC. Our female Senior Premier team has continued to develop providing role models and a clear goal for female cricketers across our Club. We have also done well with both soft and hardball girls teams starting at U12 and rising to the feeder teams for our Women’s Prems. Many of our Junior girls have done incredibly well through this season and it is a great testament to both Dominic Drumm and Sally Woodfield who have again worked hard to deliver a great experience for those girls. Our aspirations for female participation at our Club are aggressive and the simple fact is that we aren’t successfully recruiting as many young female cricket players as we want. I continue to encourage those parents with daughters to let have ‘have a go’ at cricket. NZ has some of the best female cricketers in the World and we are keen to ensure that we keep the pipe full as we head into the future.

21. As far as results go, we secured 2 wins in the Auckland Cricket Competitions: Well done to the players, coaches, managers and parents of the following teams: - Parnell Rainger (Grade 7 T30 Championship) - Parnell Gold (Grade 7 Midweek T20 Championship) These results contributed strongly to the Club of the Year award that Parnell Cricket Club secured over the course of the season and I am proud that the Junior section of the Club contributed strongly to this result.

In additional to the plethora of Saturday cricket, we have again participated strongly in the 3rd iteration of the J.T. Sparling series in which our ‘rep’ teams have competed on a Sunday. The Series sees Parnell, Cornwall, University, Grafton and Howick Pakuranga all compete for the J.T.Sparling Shield awarded to the Club who amasses the most points from all the representative fixtures through the season. Points are awarded for each win achieved at all age grades and consolidated into a final tally for each fixture. Each club played all the other clubs, with league tables being created for each of the age grades and at a total club level. The Super Series culminated with a ‘Finals Day’ in March where those clubs in 1st and 2nd place in each of the age groups played off for the age group Cup.

Our representative results were as follows: - vs Howick Pakuranga Won 8-2 vs Grafton Drew 4-4 - vs Cornwall Lost 4-7 vs Auckland University Won 6-4 Well done to all our players and coaches involved.

This year we had 2 of our A grade Rep teams in contention for silverware at the JT Sparling Series finals day with 4A and 7A leading our charge. I am delighted to confirm that both PCC teams walked away victorious. Cornwall again won the overall J.T.Sparling shield and we were in 3rd place just behind AUCC. One area where we failed to accumulate points was across the girls teams where we didn’t participate. The ability to field a series of girls teams as part of this J.T.Sparling series will certainly increase our chances of winning this elusive shield.

I would like to make mention of some of the volunteers this season without whom our Club would not function. Firstly, our grade coordinator team who have been instrumental through the course of the season in ensuring teams are created, nurtured and that issues are troubleshot. The effort they put in really does make the season so much more enjoyable for all participants and we are very grateful for their service. Special mention to: Grade 2: Annick Larkin Grade 3: Asher Williams Grade 4: Craig Cunningham Grade 5: Sarah Wilby Grade 6: Janeen De Zoysa Grade 7: Tony Burt Grade 8: Jacqui Sinclair I look forward to working with them again next season.

Secondly, to the Coaches and Managers who ensure that our teams run smoothly every weekend and who as parent volunteers actively give their time to the game and the club. On behalf of the Club I extend my thanks and appreciation to you all and again hope to see as many of you as possible next season.

I would also like to take a moment to acknowledge Cam Rope and the team of UK lads who delivered the pro-coaching programme on Wednesday afternoons this season. Pro-coaching stepped up a level this year with a better plan and some better coaching whilst still being an enjoyable experience for both players and coaches of the teams involved. We continue to be very focused on coaching and improving the quality of our coaches at Parnell Cricket Club and mid-week pro-coaching is a big part of our commitment to our coaches.

Lastly, I’d like to acknowledge both Steve Hurdley and Phil Horne who have again been instrumental in what has been a good season. In particular, I would like to acknowledge Phil Horne who steps down as our Director of Cricket. Phil has been an incredible servant of the Club over the past 3 years and will no doubt be every present going forward. In your capacity as Director of Cricket you have gone over and above time and time again to do what is right for the Club. We are a better organisation for your contribution. We wish you well for the next chapter of your life.

As I write this report, we are emerging from some of the strangest times that we have ever lived through. As a nation we have just spent 5 weeks at Alert Level 4 having united together to fight the spread of the pandemic that is Covid-19. We have spent a further week at Alert Level 3 and we are hoping that we will emerge from Level 3 to Level 2 over the coming weeks. No cricket can be played until Alert Level 2 is achieved so we continue to do all we can to operate successfully in our ‘bubbles’ to hasten the arrival of Level 2.

All sport is likely to be impacted by Covid-19. Whilst it is clear that winter codes are significantly impacted with lost revenue and playing times, they are not alone and we at Parnell Cricket Club will not be exempt. The likely closure of the TJC for a period of 6-8 weeks at best, will remove a significant amount of income from our financial position. We are also likely to be impacted into the 2020 / 21 playing season by a reduction to grant funds available as well as perhaps a reduced amount of revenue from our parent organisations. It will be a ‘tighter’ financial period for the Club and we continue to ask for the financial support of our community whether that be in terms of participation, sponsorship or donations. If you are in a position to support the Club, please contact Steve directly or any other member of the PCC Board.

I close with my best wishes to our membership. Winter well and I look forward to hopefully seeing you all return for the coming 2020 – 21 season.

Jeremy Boucher Junior Chairman

22. OBITUARY

ROGER BENJAMIN PAUL 1938 – 3 January 2020

Roger – always in good form! And, 1957, receiving the Captains Prize for Outstanding Club Spirit

Roger was a Parnell man through and through and a dominant figure in the Hobson Park days from the mid 1950s. Big, beefy and uninhibited, Roger could hit the ball vast distances. He had a good technique and preferred to drive in the V. Opposing captains soon learned to post their best catchers at long on and long off and they were usually rewarded but not before several hits had sailed way over their heads. A good man on the boundary was always a challenge to Roger! Roger was very impetuous – so often he would just give a shrug, smite a couple of 6s & get out trying to hit another. It was said that at Lord's, when Jim Smith (Middlesex & England quickie of the 1930s) came into bat that the the Tavern emptied and all eyes were on Jim and where he could dispatch the ball. Roger, similarly, was a legend at Hobson Park and eyes from all the games in progress turned towards him whenever he came in to bat, Exceptionally good natured and cheerful, he was joy around the Club. Also a good pace bowler but not nearly as quick as his brother, Andrew, who was genuinely fast. Roger still bowled what is today a “heavy ball”, very steady and he kept the ball up. Roger was missed at the Club for some seasons in the early '60s as he worked for Mobil and had to service a huge territory around the North Island and he was well known to service station owners even in the most remote areas. He joined the Club around 1955 and in the 55/56 season playing for the First Junior team scored 213 runs at 15.21 and took 16 wickets at 7.94, The next season Roger was awarded the Captain’s Prize for the “most conscientious attender at practice” but absences due to work prevented him for fulfilling his true potential or playing in the higher grades. Later, when he was at practice, he ran the fielding drills and no one hit higher long catches than Roger. After some time away he retuned to Parnell and Mike Simpson recalls that Roger captained the 2nd Grade in 70/71 when he hit is only ton, 112, which earned him the CB Smith Cup. Captain again in 71/72 his highest score was 98 but this was his last playing season. Off the field, Roger pulled his weight regularly attending working bees at Hobson Park and serving on the Committee whenever he was available – 1958/59, 1961/62, 1970/71 and 1971/72. He kept a keen interest in the Club and kept in contact with your Editor until just a few years ago. In 1964 Patron Bill Dinnison died and it ws suggested Roger and Andrew’s father replace him. SJ Paul was duly elected, General Manager of Triang Toys, he was keen to assist and was most generous to the Club over a number of years. The Club extends it’s condolences to Milica, Roger’s widow, to their three daughters, Sarah, Megan and Lucinda and to their son, Christopher.

Left: George Lamplough of HKCC, our Chairman Craig Presland and President Rod Smith sign the Agreement Right: George, to mark the occasion, presents President Rod with a photo of the Hong Kong CC

Thursday, 24 January, was a red letter day for Parnell with Affiliation with the prestigious Hong Kong CC formalised. The two clubs have similarities historically – HKCC was established in 1851, PCC in 1858 and both clubs grew using military grounds in the first instance and memberships very largely of lawyers, merchants, bankers and missionaries.

HKCC’s first ground in 1851 near Victoria Barracks PCC first played in 1858 on the Parade Ground, Albert Barracks

Both clubs have had to move but both are now well established on their present sites. A number of our members are, or have been, members of HKCC – best known is Black Cap Mark Chapman. Another is Giacomo Lamplough – both Mark and Giacomo grew up in HK. Our Treasurer, Greg James, and fellow Pressie, Sam O’Malley, played for HKCC in recent years. Affiliation could, assuming international travel resumes, be of huge benefit to our members. HKCC provides magnificent facilities – restaurants, bars, gym and pool. Sited up at Wong Nai Chong Gap the starting point for quiet bush walks in the hills or, down the hill, to the beaches of Deep Water and Repulse Bays. A haven from the business centres! Likewise, we at Parnell welcome members of the HKCC to Shore Road. HKCC has visited us twice at Shore Road, 2013 and last January, and we reciprocated, and played 2 games in HK, Easter 2015..

24. DISCONTINUED - AUCKLAND CRICKET’S PRIMARY SCHOOL TOURNAMENT

For the first time in 70 years Auckland Cricket did not hold an Inter-District Tournament for Primary/Intermediate aged schoolboy or girls. Instead, nominated youngsters went into “Camps”. Sad that this wonderfully successful tradition has succumbed to the present, politically correct, ideology that has seen those other long standing tournaments axed – rugby’s Roller Mills and hockey’s Hatch Cup. As can be seen from the following, these Tournaments gave many talented youngsters their first opportunity to star and start on their journey to 1st Class and even International cricket. Not just cricket – other sports benefited, too.

The first EDCA Primary School XI - 1950 Mr HEG Matthews (Selector), M Jensen, B Crooke, T Thorburn, J Aicken, D Magee, M Florence, Mr CA Millin Ron Brown, D Garrett. I Brown, G McMillin (Captain), R Brown, R Spencer

Eastern, through the 1950/60s, very much dominated these Tournaments winning 9 times in the 10 years from 1954. Some exceptional players came to light in those years – first Ross Morgan and Peter McGregor then Terry Jarvis, Mark Burgess.and John Carson

EDCA Primary School XI – 1957/58 Back: Tony Sommerville, John Andrews, Terry Jarvis, Mr R Trotman, Fred Hankins, P G Herbert, PJ Carroll Front: PF Murray, Mr Don Morris (Club Capt.), Mark Burgess, Roy Trotman, Mr Ken McKellan, GT Sweeney Absent: Bill Carson, John Carson, Richard Mason and Mr Peter Badley (Coach) That year Terry Jarvis, Mark Burgess, Bill and John Carson were all selected for Auckland, just as Mark, with Peter McGregor, the previous year, to play in the North Island Tournament at Lower Hutt.

25.

To be selected for Eastern was a huge honour and the capping of the chosen Team was a notable occasion as can be seen from the crowd of boys, parents and players from other, nearby, games gathered on the Hobson Park Stand. Onlookers included your Editor and his skipper, EK Smith,together, front right in the Stand.

December 1963 - Merv Wallace presenting son, Greg, with his EDCA cap As he had been in ‘62/63, Greg was selected for the Auckland team that included two future NZ captains (Geoff Howarth and John Parker). Other Parnell members in the Auckland side were captain Peter Stitchbury and Richard Crowe (no relation of Martin). Another in the team was Bruce Gemmell who went on to be an All Black.

1963/64 Auckland XI Back: . Bruce Gemmell, M Richards, P Ferguson, David Winstone Middle: Mr Dave Simmonds (Manager), Geoff Howarth, W McCormick, Richard Crowe, Mr JD Scott (Coach) Front: Greg Wallace, R Lewis, Peter Stitchbury (Captain), S Warren, J Batty, John Parker

The North Island Quadrangular Tournament was the ultimate test for these lads and Auckland boys thrived and developed. The instigation, for Under 14s, of the inter district and provincial tournaments from 1950 was hugely instrumental in dragging New Zealand out of the cricketing doldrums. Lack of success at Test level, NZ’s 26 all out vs England in 1955, had created a despondency. These tournaments, with the obvious talent that they were developing changed that – success was being achieved and leaders were being created! This competition encouraged clubs to provide better and better coaching at primary/intermediate level.. Results were obvious and welcomed by the secondary schools. None more so than Auckland Grammar – Headmaster Henry Cooper delighted in the amazing feats of Ross Morgan who regularly scored 100s for Auckland U13s and, at 16, so dominated the U19 Brabin Cup tournament that he was selected for the Auckland Plunket Shield team. Peter McGregor also shone and hard on his heels came Mark Burgess, Terry Jarvis and Johnny Carson – all brilliant performers from their earliest days. Grammar had already provided Bill Playle to Auckland and NZ. But not all came from Parnell – John Sparling, Roger Harris and, shortly after, Hedley Howarth, John Kasper, Ross Dykes and Graham Thorne.- all products of this better competition and environment.. Not just Grammar – St Kentigern’s Warren Hughes, Bill Smalley and Bill Fenton went on to made brief 1st Class appearances. MAGS (and Cornwall) produced Graham Vivian and Bob Sutton came from the North Shore,

26. The North Island Quad. Tournament was, for these boys, the pinnacle – our Parnell President Rod Smith still looks back on his participation with great pleasure and pride. Along with other Parnell/EDCA lads Neil Marra and Jeff Blackburn, he was first selected for Auckland. Team mates included Gary Troup and Steve Cole. Then Rod made the North Island Team.:

North Island Team 1966 – Rod Smith is in the back row, far left,

Whilst Rod didn’t further his cricket career in his youth except to play in a multitude of countries including South Africa, Rhodesia Malaysia and Papua New Guinea, he is now organising Over 50/60 and even 70s tournaments nationally and internationally. Back to our youth – the North Island Tournament was scrapped by NZ Cricket some years ago. Then Auckland stopped selecting Auckland teams – “12/13 year olds too young to be singled out” was the sentiment ………..!! The PC brigade had arrived. The Auckland Under 13/14 Tournaments, fortunately, continued giving great joy, inspiration and sense of achievement to so many youngsters. Over the 70 years, not only those boys already mentioned have gained top cricketing honours after participating. But also girls – take the case of Emily Drumm who, in 1987, was good enough to gain selection for EDCA Boys. She performed outstandingly and was picked for Auckland Boys!! Didn’t do Emily any harm – she became one of NZ’s most outstanding women’s cricketers. And the ACA, a few years back discontinued selecting Auckland teams at the conclusion of the U14 Tournament.

Left: Emily Drumm – Parnell/EDCA and Auckland Boys U14 Rep. (96/97) then Auckland, Kent & NZ (White Ferns Right: TimMcIntosh – Parnell/EDCA U14s (90/91, 91/92, 92/93), Ackland U14s (91/92, 92/93), then Auckland & NZ

Others - Nicky Allen was another Parnell/EDCA U14 rep.(‘71/72) went on to All Black honours – one of the most brilliant no. 10s. Simon Towns (Parnell/EDCA/Auckland 85/86) became a hockey Olympian, NZ captain and CEO of Auckland Council. Jeremy Wells (89/90) played school 1st XI cricket and later scored several 100s for Parnell’s lower grades before hitting other headlines. Jonny Davison (93/94) went on to be a Mt Everest guide and take client, Adam Parore, to the top of the World. Tim McIntosh, at a very tender age, debuted for EDCA in 1991/92 and was selected for Auckland I14s in 92/93 and again in 93/94. Tim continued in cricket, Auckland Grammar 1st XI, Parnell/EDCA/Auckland Age Groups to 1st Class honours for Auckland and, for the Black Caps, two Test centuries. Over the 70 years thousands of youngsters have admired, and been inspired by, the deeds of their peers. Selection for the EDCA U14 side each year has been most eagerly sought and the axing of this Tournament has been met with general dismay. Terry Jarvis, Emily Drumm and Tim McIntosh are Parnell and EDCA ikons – what a shame those now reaching the age of 11, 12 or 13 cannot now follow in their footsteps! Traditions should be treasured, and built upon, not axed!

James Dudson, Chairman, EDCA Dave Richardson, EDCA Coach/Manager

Chairman of EDCA over the past two years has been Parnell’s James Dudson. A particularly difficult time with some very significant changes being brought about to the Tournament formats by Auckland Cricket. Chairmanship, particularly in such circumstances, means a great deal of hard work– many issues arise from parental pressures, selection issues and the hopes and aspirations of so many youngsters. From Parnell’s point of view, the Age Group Tournaments are the one opportunity the Club has of renewing contact with it’s secondary school members who otherwise are away under the auspices of College Sport. James, the Club is hugely grateful and thanks you for your time as Chairman – a very time consuming role demanding huge tact and commonsence which you have most admirably demonstrated. And many thanks, too, to Coach Dave Richardson who picked up the tab from Ian West to oversee the Tournaments. Not a simple task – a myriad of issues always develop which need tact and mediation to resolve as well as the basic coaching, motivational and tactical skills needed from a coach. Dave, your very professional efforts were much appreciated by the Parnell players and parents – thank you!

29. THANK YOU, PHIL HORNE!

Phil – always “hands on” - on the field, in the Office or sorting someone else’s mess!

At the end of the Season, Phil relinquished his role as Parnell’s Director of Cricket. For the the past 3 years Phil has devoted his remarkable energy into driving the Club from strength to strength. A former Board member but, more particularly, his intimate knowledge of top level cricket, and sport in general, make him invaluable to us.

Phil opened the batting for New Zealand in four Tests – on debut facing Marshall, Garner and Walsh. Then against Pakistan and Waqar Younis! Fifty three 1st Class games – 5 centuries, highest being 209 and a quite brilliant cover point*. Added to that success, Phil was a top badminton player and represented NZ at two Commonwealth Games. A truly outstanding sportsman which, allied to his many years with sports wholesaler Brittain Wynyard gave him knowledge second to none.

Phil, all of us at Parnell wish a long, happy and prosperous retirement but, as you are only 60, we do hope to see you regularly around the Club, assisting with coaching , taking fielding drills and just advising and encouraging youngsters which you do so wonderfully well. Thank you indeed for your time as our Director of Cricket and the legacy you leave!

THE ROSE GARDEN

”

A great social innovation established this season by Lana West, the Rose Garden proved a very popular gathering spot on the many balmy evenings of this wonderful summer. Even when the result wan’t so good – as on this occasion following the loss in the Jeff Crowe Final to Suburbs NL. Good spirits remained and only closing time and darkness ended the reminiscences and tall tales.

30. THANKS ANZ BANK – BLACK CAPS at SHORE ROAD Martin Guptill, Mitchell Santner and Ish Sodhi with our Kids

An ANZ BANK sponsored Day brought great joy to a huge number of youngsters from all over Auckland when Guppy, Mitch and Ish, addressed them, signed autographs and held a skills session. Extremely well attended and a sausage sizzle capped off a great afternoon. Grateful thanks, also, to our own Coaching Team who also got great pleasure in working with the Stars!

37. VISITORS TO SHORE ROAD

Ray Toole – bowling for CD vs Auckland Aces Ray was a Parnell player when 12-14 years old – now he is a Central Dentral Disticts contracted player. Ray visited Shore Road whilst here for the Aces vs CD Ford Trophy match in November, Ray is primarily a left arm pace bowler. He made his 1st Class debut this season and took 8 wickets at 33.25 each in his 4 matches. Whilst here he attended St Kentigern College but his his family moved to Melbourne and he completed his schooling in Australia. However, he sees his future in NZ, has now graduated from Massey University and stays in the Central Districts area. He and his Dad, Gavin who remains with the ANZ Bank in Melbourne, keep in regular contact with Ian Trott and your Editor and still closely follow the fortunes of Parnell.

The Howzat Supporters Group Here to follow the England team in it’s 2 Test Series vs NZ, the Howzatt Group, lead by Nick Joyce, came to lunch at Shore Road. They first inspected the TJC then dined with us before departing by bus to Mt Maunganui for the 1st Test.

Danny Kotha – Parnell Premier player of the 1990s Now residing in Texas, Danny visited in December and asked to be remembered to his teammates of the 1990s. A contemporary of Paul Vujnovic, Aidan Hill and Matt McMillin and Scorer Jocelyn remembers him well.

38.

David Goddard, Ian Trott, Matt Willacy and John Goddard watching our Prems play David, former Prems captain here from UK to announce his engagement. Matt was Club Captain in 2011/12 and John, David’s, dad managed Grade winning Junior teams of the early 2000s. He provided inspirational mangement for these teams that included David, Jimmy Neesham, Kirk Bunting, Tom Talbot, Justin Rosenberg & others.

PLUS AGING LOCALSUPPORTERS

OUR GRADE ONES with their Coaches – 5 year olds, the future of the Club:

Grade 1s - Fridays from 4.30pm Perfect time to introduce newcomers to the Club and welcome back past players with wee ones – girls as well as boys! A very sociable occasion – bar open for grandparents and parents and a sausage sizzle to conclude.

39. AUCKLAND CRICKET’S T20 FINAL - great support for our Prems at Onewa Road, Takapuna – a Gala occasion:

Exciting game, Parnell had it’s moments but not to be - Skipper Brad congratulates Takapuna and thanks them for the Day

THE JEFF CROWE FINAL - the crowds lined Shore Road Reserve – huge expectations:

Water boys worked overtime: Support Team on the alert:

But Parnell fell at the last hurdle – congratulations to Suburbs New Lynn for capturing the Jeff Crowe Cup. With two Finals lost, all hopes now rested on capturing the Hedley Howarth Trophy!

40. RESURGENCE OF OUR WOMEN’S PREMIER TEAM One of the most pleasing aspect of the Season was how this very young Team recovered from some severe beatings to win 2 of their last 3 games. Top performances particularly by Kate and Emma Irwin, Yaz Khareem, Renee Macmillan and Maddy Curran:

Kate Irwin – 50 on Prem debut Olivia Lobb – gained ND contract Shriya Naid in ND squad

Yaz Khareem – most runs in Akld Renee Macmillan 5/19 Maddy Curran – most wickets

THE HEDLEY HOWARTH TROPHY and OLLIE PRINGLE GAINS AN AUCKLAND CONTRACT COVID 19 prevented the final game to be played but our Prems had gained 1st innings points in all their 7 games and lead by 20 points when the Season prematurely ended.This acknowleges the huge contribution Ollie Pringle made to the winning of this title and the awarding of an Auckland Contract is long overdue!.

Ollie – in the 2 Dayers scored 194 runs at 27.71, highest score 93. Bowling, took 21 wickets at 17.93.

42. ADAPTIVE CRICKET DAY

This annual event was held on 18 November and, as always, was an outstanding success with over 80 students attending from Somerville SpecialSchool, it’s satellite units and the Pegasus Unit of Pakuranga College. Many thanks to Ashwin Prasad at Somerville and Mike Hunter at the Pegasus Unit.

Saint Kentigern School’s participation was essential – some 30 Year 8 students helped with the skills stations and really enjoyed the opportunity to assist those with special needs and to introduce them to cricket. We are hugely grateful to the School, especially to Grayson Aspinall and Duncan Grant, for being so interested and co-operative in helping us run this event

Our own Player/Coaches gave their time gratis and it was an enlightening experience for them. Run by Phil Horne, the group of Callum McCarthy, Harry Sinclair and Alex Knapman guided the students around the various stations. The skills demonstrated being Tball for batting plus drills for bowling, catching, throwing and running between the wickets..

Very special thanks to Councilor Desley Simpson for attending and taking such an interest.

To conclude, a sausage sizzle and thanks to Manager Steve, aided by Harry Sinclair and Jenny Haggitt, for the good work in setting up and doing the sizzling.

Our new Director of Cricket, Hussain Hanif, has had considerable experience with Special Needs, Disabled and Blind cricketers in Australia and it will be most interesting to see what new ideas and innovations Huss brings to the table. He has already been talking to the Halberg Trust, the Royal Foundation for the Blind and Aktive. Parnell’s participation could well extend in developing this much needed area of the game.

43. VETERANS CRICKET North Island O60s Invitation XI vs Australia Over 70s

Groundsman Dave Keane’s pitch on Thos. Bloodworth was viewed most favourably (especially after the Black Caps experience across the Ditch)

Organised by our President Rod Smith and great to see old Parnell members taking part:

Parnell Life Member, Roger Harvey on the drive and with the ball

And Parnell veteran John Mahoney shows he hasn’t lost his touch, here scoring freely on the leg side

44. President Rod has been working extremely hard on developing Veterans Cricket – Over 50/60 and even 70s! Rod has travelled to Australia and played in tournaments there, including Darwin, and then represented NZ Over 60s in their sccessful series vs Australia O60s which NZ won 2-1. The Tests were played in Queenstown, Wellington and Napier. Roger Harvey played in these games and the NZ team was captained by North Shore’s Murray Brown.

In this game vs Australia Over 70s, the visitors were too good for the North Island Invitation XI. In fielding especially, the Aussies were superior. Despite this the game was played in great spirit, hugely enjoyable – a great social occasion as the Aussies brought with them a large party of wives and partners who very readily lent a hand in the kitchen so that lunch, afternoon tea and the after match sessiona and dinner went brilliantly.

“Mrs President” Margaret Smith with the Aussie support team. Their Men showed they were a dab hand on the barbie too

PARNELL INVITATION XI vs HONG KONG CC

HONG KONG CC 155/8 vs PARNELL CC 125/10 Win to HKCC by 30 runs

Greg James bowling (left)& John Nichol behind the stumps in both photos. Below – both Teams: HKCC & PCC

A very pleasant day’s cricket played in great spirit. The HK team rather stronger than ours. In trying to chase down their 155, Matt James, Giacomo Lamplough and Rudi Bisschoff all got to double figures but no more! Phil Horne then played a lone hand for 38, the winners were toasted, presentations made and, following very necessary hydration, the majority debunked to Eden Park to watch the Black Caps being spanked in the 1st T20I vs India. Final thanks – to Paul Sylvia, hugely appreciated by both teams. 45.

46. Junior Prizegiving 1998/99 at Orakei And commenting further on EDCA and ACA Selections for Auckland Cricket’s Under 13/14 District Tournaments:

Junior Prizegiving at Orakei 1998/99 Danny Morrison presented trophies to 3 members of the Turner family – From left: Mark, Phillip and Ryan Turner Mark, that year, was selected for EDCA U13s but not for Auckland. Five years later Mark made his Men’s Premier debut and went on the be the first Parnell batsman since Merv Wallace, in 1938/39, to score 1000 runs in a season. In his short career with the Club Mark amassed 3977 Premier runs at 34.58 with highest score 201*. On OE, playing for MCC, Mark scored 165* vs Oxford University to win the game and also hit 100 vs Cricket Club of India. Brother Ryan also played Premier cricket.

1998/99 – other happy Prizewinners 5 of whom selected for Auckland From left: Auckland reps. Tom Davison, PJ Cairns, Chris Noakes, James Walsh, Andrew McAlpine and EDCA rep. Sunil Nathu James Walsh went on to have an outstanding Premier career taking 333 wickets at 21.49. PJ Cairns played several seasons Premier cricket for Howick Pakuranga Chris Noakes has several season as a professional rugby player – for the Highlanders and Bay of Plenty. Sunil Nathu has, for many seasons, organised and captained the Parnell Soldiers – a very successful social team. Sunil has just been appointed to head Spark Sport’s Cricket Team

And now, 2019/20 – the Under 13/14 Tournament has been axed – progress???

47. MUMBAI JAGUARS

Tuesday, 28 Jan. PARNELL INVITATION XI 165/10 vs MUMBAI JAGUARS 168/4 at Shore Road 2a. RESULT: Mumbai Jaguars won by 6 wickets

Phil Horne, backbone of Parnell’s batting in both games – 38 vs HKCC and 36* vs Mumbai Jaguars Parnell batted first and, despite losing Callum McCarthy early, Matt James got us off to a good start hitting 45. Excellent support came from invitees Bill Fowler (25) and Julian Price (20) and Ashwin Haran (11) and Rod Smith (14) chipped in usefully but, again, Phil Horne, with 36 not out, rescued proceedings and got us through to 165. Mumbai Jaguars made no race of the chase losing only 4 wickets. Very good for Parnell to host a team from the Sub Continent and special thanks to Stu Stockdale, of the Melbourne CC and Chairman of the Australian Taverners, who facilitated the visit with our President, Rod Smith. Last, but not least, thank you Keith Rawlings and Marc O’Gorman for umpiring – again, hugely appreciated by the players!

BACKYARD CRICKET

A stunning innovation introduced by Logan Strange in 2018/19. Logan plays for our Fourths or Prunes and it is he whoarrrages sponsorships and sets up the “Backyards”. Well advertised, it is very popular fun day that brings many to Shore Road for the first time. These photos tell the story and note that Logan received great assistance from his Skipper and other fellow Prunes:

Logan Strange – the organiser on the mic.

Two of the three Backyards

The Prunes fielded a team – here planning strategy And the inner man was well catered for!

48. PARNELL PRIZEGIVINGS of the PAST

Due to COVID 19, all Prizegivings postponed until September this is a good time to recall some prizegivings of the past:

1956/7 Season – at the Remuera RSA, Green Lane – Patron Bill Dinnison, assisted by Hon Sec. Bill Percival presenting to: 1. Peter Badley - the CB Smith Cup for the highest score of the season, 132 and a miniature bat for that 100. 2.

An utterly outstanding season but not totally satisfying until the conclusion of what proved to be the last game played. Unbeaten in all 7 rounds, with an unassailable 20 point lead over nearest rivals Cornwall, the Hedley Howarth Trophy was awarded to Parnell when COVID 19 ended the season prematurely. Round 8 was not played on account of the virus.

Huge credit to Skipper Brad Rodden and Coach Ian West strongly supported by Manager John Fisher and Scorer Jocelyn Goodger. Planned well from the pre-season T20 Tournament at Hawkes Bay - this an excellent bonding opportunity where fringe players, Keegan Russell, Josh Milne and Nikith Perera, performed creditably. Then, through the season, statistical details regarding the opposition were given by Mehul Cchagan – most helpful!

Our “All Stars” – Lockie Ferguson, Will Somerville, Mark Chapman and Ben Horne all contributed importantly when turning out even if appearances were limited. And a warm welcome to Corey Anderson great to see you at the Club when commitments permit.

Much of our success, in all 3 formats, was due to our attack. First Pace - Henry King, who stayed in Wellington, was absent but Fanie de Villiers came to us after 2 seasons at Cornwall and was immediately effective in taking 5/37 on his first Parnell outing. Ollie Pringle was the ultimate “go to” bowler and Josh Fisher and Ganesh Ratnasabapathy made up a highly effective and hostile pack. Great bowlers, traditionally, have hunted in pairs – we had a foursome! And, when needed on just the odd occasion, Keegan, with 12 wickets at 19.58 was tremendous backup.

Spin –Aniket, off breaks, keen and with tremendous potential. Nikith, left arm orthodox, arrived at the conclusion of his schooling at St Kentigern – he showed great maturity and control in the games post Christmas

Batting – huge experience in Skipper Brad Rodden, Ben Rae and Andy Lane. Blossoming talent in Flynn who really excelled – way above all expectations. Ben Rainger who hit a ton early, lost a bit of form but came back to play a crucial innings at the end. Plus the all rounders – Ollie, as dependable with the bat as with the ball, Aniket, who hit his maiden ton for the Club and could up the run rate from the moment he came to the crease. Then there was Josh who showed the benefit of his opening the batting in the UK - he dug in and saved the day in a couple of crucial times.

Fielding – the key to success! Our pace attack found the edges and the catches were taken – huge kudos to our ‘keepers, and the slip/gully cordon. ‘Keeping – Harry was quite brilliant standing in for Ben Horne (away with the Aces) for much of the season. This has been one of Parnell’s real strengths for many seasons – we have had a succession of top slippers – Tim McIntosh (the best of all), Brad Winger, Mark Turner, Angus McLean, David Goddard to name just a few. Ben Rae – what an asset! Ben held 16 Aniket 13, Flynn 12, Andy 11- to add to our stumpers’ 57 (Harry 43 catches, Ben 14). Yet again- catches win matches!

A somewhat disjointed season – start wasn’t till Labour Weekend and then straight onto grass. Just two One Dayers then a switch to Two Days for two games. In December, back to a couple of One Dayers interspersed with evening T20s. Finally two TT20s on 52. the final Saturday before Christmas. Not easy to play with consistency when jumping from one format to the other! But this Team overcame the odds –unbeaten up till Christmas and suffered only 3 losses overall.

There were some marvellous individual performances as can be seen from Jocelyn’s superb stats – this year giving a breakdown between the three formats for the first time. They highlight particular attributes and abilities. Thanks Joce for this invaluable analysis.

JEFF CROWE CUP – Limited Overs 50 Championship A top start - first up, Eden Roskill defeated by 77 runs, Cornwall by 115. Then a hic-cup, Howick Pak’s star studded attack of Grobbelaar and McClenaghan had us reeling – both openers ducks but Flynn, 64, Ben Horne, 98 and the Skipper, Brad 25 took us to 229. Enough ? With HP 171/7, one said “yes” but an 8TH wicket stand between Jones and Botadra took HP to 228 – 1 to tie, 2 for us to lose, 6 balls remaining. Equal to the occasion, Josh, took the ball and, without a further run scored, had Jones caught by Aniket off the 5th ball. One ball – 1 to tie, 2 to lose - and Josh had McClenaghan caught by Harry. Jones had made 31, Botadra left 25* and Jamie Brown 0* - with us winning by 1 run. Great work, Josh – a close run thing!! Next week a comfortable 5 wicket win over Papatoetoe and off for Christmas unbeaten. Resuming on 11 January, thoughts must have remained on the beach – at home to Grafton who had us 47/7! Our middle, Josh, 65 run out, and the tail got us to 155/10 in 38 overs but Grafton won by 3 wickets despite Ollie taking 4/27. A real wake up call. Back on track, East Coast Bays were skittled for 122 - Ollie again, 4/21, and Ganesh, 3/28 – and we won by 8 wickets. Suburbs next and this was, perhaps, the defining game of the season. At Ken Maunder Park, Suburbs started with a blinder but, at 73/0 in 18 overs, Lockie, just back from injury, came on and had Majithia caught. This slowed them but runs later leaked and Suburbs would have been happy with their 251. Happier still when we lost both openers quickly and Ollie at 44. Grim – Skipper Brad joined no. 3, Flynn, and together they consolidated. They quietly put a partnership together. Behind the run rate for some time, Brad started to push along, then so did Flynn, their 100s came up and a 7 wicket victory was brilliantly achieved – 252/3 with 4 overs to spare. Flynn 120*, Brad 107*, together a 208* partnership and a guaranteed Semi Final place. Semi Final vs Takapuna – at Shore Road: We bowled Takapuna out for 239 in 48 overs and it looked a sho in when our top order fired and we were 180/2 in the 43rd over. But Ben Rae was bowled in that over for 77 and the pear took shape from there. Still, the Skipper was there but Ollie was caught at 224 with 15 needed off 12 balls, Fine – but, with the total 238 and 2 needed with 4 balls in hand, Aniket was lbw. OK – 2 off 3 but Josh was lbw first ball. Fanie joined Brad – 2 off 2 – chaos, Fanie pushed the ball to midoff, took off for a run and Brad was run out as it was deemed they hadn’t crossed. Down to 2 needed off 1 – ter Braak to Fanie again, a swing, mishit but a scramble for 1 – a TIE. And we all know about what happens then – a SUPER OVER which was won by Parnell thanks to 0llie Pringle who scored 6 of our 10 runs and then, with the ball, restricted Takapuna to only 3 and dismissed both O’Dowd and W O’Donnell. Final vs Suburbs New Lynn – having beaten Suburbs twice in recent weeks, we went into this game with confidence which increased when our openers had 101 on the board in good time. But wickets then fell regularly and heads shook when we were out for just 214 and 17 balls unused. So it proved – our bowlers did fight back, a catch wasn’t allowed but Suburbs took the title in the 49th over winning by 2 wickets.

T20 CHAMPIONSHIP 11 Dec - Ben Horne 54 got us to 143/8 then Ganesh destroyed Cornwall taking 5/9 – 95/10. Next Eden Roskill beaten by 8 wickets and, on 21 Dec, 2 games at Colin Maiden. 130/10, including Corey Anderson’s debut 60 enabled us to beat AUCC by 32 runs – thank to Ollie 3/12 and Will Somerville 4/16. The only game at “full strength” though Ben Horne and Mark Chapman only managed 7 each – both out, Ben Rae too, and we were 17/3 when the Skipper joined Corey – and the game was saved. That afternoon, the All Stars having scarpered to Aces duties, Flynn returned from the Reserves to put Ellerslie to the sword with 91 off 57 balls Chasing our 168/6, Ellerslie’s gun pro was skittled first ball by Josh and the rest crumpled – 77/10 with Josh 4/19. Our Chairman shouted drinks and then it was off for Christmas. 8 Jan – Chappie’s 80 helped us to 165/5 and our quicks were too good for Grafton’s top order and Aniket tidied up taking 3/17 - a 33 run victory. 12 Jan – another 2 game Sunday but the morning, vs Papatoetoe was a 100% washout. In the afternoon we scored 125/5 and then skittled Howick Pak for just 55 – Josh 5/17, Nikith 1/14, Aniket 2/8, kegan 2/6. Semi Final vs Suburbs NL – Shore Road was a picture but some concern that our 132/10 was insufficient. Only Flynn, with 32, and Aniket, 33, topped 20 but our bowlers excelled and SNL was destroyed – all out 86 with Ollie 2/9 Josh 2/23, Fanie 4/24, Nikith 1/14. A win by 46 runs – on to the Final! Final vs Takapuna – Auckland Anniversay Day at Onewa Road. Glorious weather, big crowd, many PCC supporters – our marquee in the NW corner, great expectations! Parnell batting = Sclanders to Ben Rae – 4, 10 up off 4 balls then …. lbw sweeping! James to Flynn 1 run then to Andy – out for 0 – 10/2. Flynn remained but the others didn’t -17/3 with Ben Horne gone. Then Brad at 56 and, finally, Flynn for 33 off 27 balls -77/5 off 11.1 overs. Still a chance of recovery – Aniket there and Ollie but no – wickets continued to fall and all out 98 in the 18th over, with16 balls unused. A challenge for our bowlers! And they rose to it – Takapuna were very soon 53/5 and the home crowd quiet. 65/6 and all the guns dismissed – O’Dowd, both O’Donnells, Beecroft and now Sclanders. Tense – Nikith had bowled 3 overs for just 6 runs, our fielding razor sharp. But an old head put a stop to that – van Vuuren took the long handle and quickly snatched the initiative and the match from us. Still very close, a 5 wicket win to Takapuna but only 3 balls remaining. Just rhink– in our innings we left 16 balls unused ……….!!!

HEDLEY HOWARTH TROPHY – Major Two Day Championship – Road to the Trophy: Underway on 2 November vs Cornwall, Flynn (95) and Aniket, 107, allowed us to declare at 367/9 and Cornhaveiwall had to follow on having been skittle for 169 – Fanie taking vengeance on his old club with 5/42 and Josh 4/48. Next we amassed 432/7 dec. vs Suburbs NL thanks to Ben Rainger 104, Ollie 93 and Jack Parsons 62. Suburbs fought back - Michael Barry 82, Finn Allen, 165, a real worry but Suburbs’ tail didn’t wag and they were al out for 332. Round 3 vs North Shore at home – we totalled 219, almost all due to Brad Rodden’s 110, but it proved good enough thanks to Ollie’s 3/17 and Keegan’s 3/18 – North Shore 135/10. And so the the Christmas break unbeaten. Round 4, 1/2 Feb., Howick Pak recovered from 3/17 to 4/200 and to post a credible 332. In reply Flynn excelled with 116 supported by Ollie and Brad both 61. But 298/5 became 315/8 before Josh, 31* and Lockie 12* saw us to the lead. Round 5, back home Takapuna was bowled out for 236 but we made hard work of the chase till Aniket, 77*, helped by solid knocks from Fanie (37 off 60 balls) and Harry, 28* off 92, took us to 242/71st innings points. 53. Round 6, vs AUCC at Colin Maiden – first day was lost to rain then, on the 2nd, the home side faltered badly to be 8/99. Former PCC player Christy O’Brien salvaged the situation somewhat – his 80* got them to 206. For us, Ben Rae made no race of it – 97 for the 1st wicket with Flynn (51), we passed AUCC’s total only 3 down. Ben hit 106 of 112 balls and Corey Anderson 51 of 79. Further batting bonus points were then accrued and Parnell finished at 262/8. Round 7, Papatoetoe came to Shore Road and started well reaching 121/2. But Ollie, Josh and Jack all struck and, at 174/7, we looked to have the game under control. Not so – the tail wagged and we had 261 to chase. Worse, Flynn and Ben Rae went cheaply but Fanie (replacing Ollie) scored 44 and Andy and Ben Rainger, both returning from the Reserves, held fast and put us in sight of the lead. Aniket and Josh brought us home and, with 1st innings points, the Championship!

SUMMING UP Our Prems were a well knit side with an excellent work ethic and spirit thanks to the leadership of Brad and Ian. Manager John Fisher gave tremendous support. A most positive attitude in the batting, too – never, ever stodgy! Ben Rae, Flynn and Ben Rainger gave us good starts in most games and, when they didn’t, the middle of Ollie, Brad, Andy and Aniket usually came to light. Then we had Fanie, Josh and Harry plus, of course, the occasional boosts from Chappie, Hornet and Corey. The only let downs came in the two Finals – the T20 and the Jeff Crowe – and rather from over eagerness to force the run rate. As mentioned, pace was the key to our attack – unrelenting and backed by top fielding. Spin, in the hands of Aniket and Nikith, did well in giving support to the quicks and the two hold much promise for the future. Some didn’t get the opportunities they would have liked – Jack Parsons arrived with big hopes and had good moments with both bat and ball and Dean van Deventer returned late in the season after surgery – their turns will come. Team Spirit was very important, almost the key factor with huge competition for places. Never more than when the “All Stars” became available meaning some had to drop down to the Reserves. No complaints – Flynn, Ben Rainger, Andy and Harry all had to do so, they all performed with distinction for the Reserves and then, when recalled, put in match winning efforts for the Prems. On a final note, Flynn McGregor-Sumpter, in addition to his 876 Premier runs, scored 129 in two innings for our Reserves to total 1005 runs for the season overall. Congratulations Flynn – a tremendous effort in only your third Premier season. An outstanding season to match possibly the best summer, weatherwise, in living memory!

POSTSCRIPT No Report on the 2019/20 Season would be complete without mention of the Shore Road pitch and Groundsman Dave Keane. Dave, week in, week out., and despite drought conditions though February/March, produced outstanding pitches. Through his management he maintained a sufficient sole of grass to assist our pace attack – enabling some movement and good carry. At the same time good batsmen could prosper on a true surface and our excellent results reflect the fact that the players could rely on the conditions provided at Home. For the One Day Semi Final and the Final Shore Road looked an absolute picture and special thanks to Dave’s wife, Carol, for mowing the outfield superbly! Dave and Carol, many thanks indeed for your continuing top efforts!

JOINT CAPTAIN STEPHANIE CARR REPORTING: The 2019/2020 season brought about the third year for Parnell being back in the Premier Women’s grade. With the addition of Rob Nicol as coach for the first time and a great winter program under our belt, it looked like a promising year for the Parnell women. We also welcomed our first overseas player into the team (Georgia Haworth) since restarting up the women’s side and she contributed exceedingly well with her bowling across the season. Overall, Parnell had their best season with 6 wins in total, most of these coming in the second half of the season where the team really started to come together and perform in all aspects of the game. Unfortunately, we lost Rob in the second half of the season to coaching duties for the White Ferns in the World Cup. Stephanie Carr stepped up to fill in for the remainder of the season as player/coach with great support coming from Gemma Lord (manager), Olivia Lobb (captain) and Shannon Carr (Prem Reserve coach). We also had the privilege of former White Fern Emily Drumm assisting with trainings during this time to add another element of experience and knowledge for the girls.

The 19/20 season contained 2 competitions this year – the Prichard Cup (One Day Competition) and the Pearl Dawson Trophy (T20 Competition). The Prichard Cup contained 10 rounds of which Parnell won 2 which lead to us tying for 5th place with Papatoetoe. Unfortunately, this was not a great result for the season however there were many close games that did not quite manage to go our way at the end. Highlights included Yaz Kareem scoring her highest score of the season with 83 against Takapuna, Madison Curran taking a hat-trick against a tricky Auckland Uni side, Kate Irwin scoring 50* in her debut game for the Premier team and Renee Macmillan taking a five wicket bag against Howick Pakuranga in the last game of the season. The Pearl Dawson Trophy also contained 10 rounds, of which the women won 4 and as a result came 4th in the competition. This was a great feat for the women this year as it now marks the highest place we have come in a competition so far and reflects the hard work put in the team and promises greater results in the future. It also marked a 4 game winning streak for Parnell that was only ended by a very strong performance by Auckland University. At the end of the season, 2 players made the Auckland Cricket leaderboards for their contributions. Yaz Kareem topped the Batting Auckland Cricket leaderboard for the grade amassing a total of 455 runs, a well- deserved position for her as she batted extremely well this season. Isabel Mills came 3rd on the Fielding Auckland Cricket leaderboard for the grade taking a total of 11 catches after an exceptional season of wicket-keeping.

A highlight of this season was the number of girls who were able to progress to the next stage of the cricketing career. Olivia Lobb had a full season playing for the Northern Districts state team with Shriya Naidu making her Northern Districts team debut. Jess Barker, Emma Irwin and Lexy Bassett all made the Auckland U19 age representative team with Emma Irwin and Madison Curran also making the Developing Future Hearts squad. All of these are attributed to the hard work that all of these girls put into their cricket and the attitude and focus they have towards succeeding. Another highlight of the year was the continued unity of the squad. The Premier team and Reserves trained together the whole season and as a result became a very tight-knit squad with exceptional quality been shown at trainings by the Reserves against the Prem players. As a result of this, when the Reserve girls came up to play higher quality cricket, they performed exceptionally against other teams. As previously mentioned, Kate Irwin scored a 50 on her debut game for Prems and Renee Macmillan took a five wicket bag. Ella Drumm also performed amazingly in the field and bowled very economically in the grade. On a personal note, it has been another incredible season with the girls. Having to perform captain and coach responsibilities at different points during the season, the girls have been incredibly supportive. I am incredibly proud of the girls in how they partake in

56. the game of cricket and their attitudes that they bring to every training and game. I am also incredibly proud of the club and board in how much support they put behind the women and believe in our ability. Bring on next season!!

57. MEN’S PREMIER RESERVE GRADE

Coach/Umpire/Scorer/Mentor Roy Goodyear - Captain: Razin Bharde

COACH ROY GOODYEAR REPORTING: After a season of some good “hand to hand combat” on the cricket field we were a little unfortunate not to come away with some silverware. The side came very close in the two day Comp having defeated our arch rivals Cornwell in the penultimate game of the season only for Corona (not the beer type!!) raising its ugly head, the final game of the season being cancelled. We came second to Cornwell by the narrowest of margins (one point) although we were the only team to win all 6 of our games up to that point. The 50 over comp: we came third in the competition ultimately won by Eden Roskill: We played 7 won 5 and lost 2, again a similar return to Cornwall. Losing out to them on net run rate this time!! T/20 cricket: was introduced to the Reserve Grade this season. There were 4 pools of 4 teams; we came third in our pool, we lost exciting games on three occasions off the last ball of the game; a good learning curve for us all?

Personally, I have been involved in the coaching of this Team having just completed my 4th season. Moving through from the 2nd division of the Reserve Comp to the senior division and slowly edging our way towards competing for some silverware. It has been a very satisfactory journey only made possible through: 1) The attitude of the many players who have played in the side. A side whose personnel are constantly changing due to movement up and down from the Prems and the Third X1 respectively, never easy for the individuals and their personal ambitions. However, this I believe is testament to: 2) The overall attitude of the members of OUR club. May I say that you all contribute to the success of OUR Prem Reserve Team, thank you 3) Finally, under this heading, it was a privilege for the Reserves to have contributed to the award from Auckland Cricket, the Club of the Year Award for overall on and off field conduct and respect for the Game of Cricket. Thank you again to all who represented the Reserves in the 2019/20 season and playing a part in this prestigious award.

Moving back to the playing arena; we had some outstanding contributions with the bat; large 100’s from Will Ormiston 180 v Papatoetoe CC and Giacomo Lamplough 189 v North Shore CC. Some of the cleanest striking of a cricket ball I have seen for some time!! Will Ormiston and Giacomo Lamplough scoring 500 and 504 runs respectively for the season. Whilst these two men are in the spot light, they are both outstanding fielders with Giacomo also contributing with the ball. Higher honours definitely beckon for both.

There were notable contributions by several other batsmen with Flynn MaGregor-Sumpter accumulating 129 runs at an average of 71.5 in his 2 innings for us before going on to be the leading run scorer in the Prem Division. Huge congratulations Flynn from the Reserves.

Quinn Sorenson in his first season with Parnell contributed 213 runs, welcome on board Quinn. It would make for reading a novel the length of War and Peace to go through each and every player but I would like to give a few words to our English Pro’s namely; Ed (cover drive) Bartlett, Jimmy Hook and Luke (slim) Trimming. They were all excellent additions in the side and the Club in so many ways, good humour being one of their attributes!! It was an absolute pleasure having you with us and glad that you have all reached home safely; interesting times for you lads and you certainly won’t forget NZ!!

Ed Bartlett was our leading strike bowler, bowling 150.4 overs taking 35 wickets averaging 14.4 per wicket, top contribution Ed! James Hook’s contribution as our one of our all rounders, Jimmy was always in the action somewhere in every game. Thank you Hooksie. Luke Trimming kept wicket (13 dismissals) and opened the batting (ave 21.75) for us, not an easy task at the best of times. For an 18 year old Luke, your eyes would have been opened I am sure? Congrats in putting up with us and myself!!!!

Prashant Dhanjee, when he wasn’t away getting married or supporting fellow Club members taking the plunge, took 20 wickets ave 13.2 runs/wicket as did Giacomo Lamplough, 20 wickets ave 16.6 runs/wicket. We cannot leave out Jack Parsons, also new to the Club this season, filling the all rounder role taking, 18 wickets 10.22 runs/wicket. It was a pleasure to have you from time to time when you weren’t in the Prems, Jack, your attitude was exemplary.

Finally in the bowling department, Keegan Russell single handedly bowled us to a first innings win v Suburbs New Lynn, with figures of: 14 overs 3 maidens 8 wickets for 54 runs. This, after we were bowled out for 116; Keegan’s spell was responsible for our win by 5 runs

Our slip cordon was outstanding; Will Ormiston and Josh Milne taking some quality catches in supporting our bowling attack. Generally the out fielding was good well lead by Razin our Captain who gets a mention later in this report.

We introduced some younger members of our Club; Sam Everton-James (left arm orthodox) who did well with both bat and ball. We look forward to having you and your twin brother back with us at the end of each Varsity year.

58. member to our club debut for the Reserves (Keertivaasan Prakash) KV is currently playing for MAGS first X1. He is a left hand middle order batsman who combined well with Jack Parsons in a match winning partnership in his first game for the club. This showed that the young KV has the goods to move into men’s cricket in the not too distant future.

In closing, I need to thank Razin Bharde, who had the onerous position of captaining the side for the season as well as putting up with a grumpy “old” coach!! Razin, your communication and attention to detail, along with your on field commitment, was nothing short of outstanding. It was a pleasure for me to have your support over the season: it is not an easy position to hold and can be very tiring as the season progresses. You were a star!

I look forward to another season with you all at Parnell Cricket Club.

Competitions: T20 Pre Christmas T20 Major & Minor T20 Post Christmas

COACH SHANNON CARR REPORTING: It was a pleasure to once again coach the Premier Reserves Womens side for the second year in a row. It was a great start to the season getting the new Prems Coach Rob Nichol on board, and it was a terrific experience for me to work alongside him for the first half of the season. This year was a very tough season for the reserve girls. The second half of the season proved challenging following the loss of several players to their first year of University outside of Auckland. From this, it put a lot more pressure on the selection committee with selecting teams each week. However, I was especially proud of how the girls conducted themselves both on and off the field during this trying time. For most of the year we struggled to field a team of 9, which caused stress on the girls each Saturday and on the management side when selecting the teams. I am extremely thankful to Steph & Gemma, who without them would have been a struggle to get a team on the field each week. They have been an amazing support throughout the year and I wouldn't have been able to manage the team without them. Whilst the reserves side had these player availability pressures in the second half of the season, the girls still performed outstandingly on the field and pulled through as a team with a few fantastic wins. We were also able to achieve some other positives throughout this season, as there was greater opportunity for our developing girls to be introduced into Premier cricket. We are excited to begin working hard through the winter together with our new Director of Cricket and will also be targeting many schools around our catchment area to assist with continuing to foster our Female playing numbers for the 2020/21 season.

T20 Pre Christmas: There were only 5 rounds in this competition, as it was eventually changed to a minor/major league due to the number of teams in the grade. The girls came 2nd in this comp with 4 wins & 1 loss, which was against Waitakere who ended up coming 1st. With some great performances in this grade it showed huge potential for some of the reserves to move their way to the prems. Kate Irwin finished the 5 games with a total of 96 runs scored, Petra with a total of 6 wickets taken, Hetali taking a total of 6 wickets & Renee taking a total of 4. It was against Papatoetoe that Renee took 3 of her 4 wickets, taking one on the first ball of the innings with the other 2 being taken throughout the same over. On the 23rd November, we played Cornwall Gold and ended up batting with only 6 players. However, the team almost pulled through by scoring 91 of the 114 runs and Kate Irwin hitting a total of 45 not out. It was a fantastic effort for the start of the season, and showed what our young squad could do against the other teams.

T20 Major & Minor: The major & minor comp was split between the top 6 teams and the lower 8. One of the top highlights for the girls was being given the opportunity to play on the number 1 pitch at Melville against the top team (Cornwall Green) and taking out the win in the 20th over. It was a team effort in the field, and Ella Drumm performed with the bat, scoring 43 off 39 balls. The next game that was terrific to watch was our game against Auckland Uni. With 3 of our 8 girls being from the U13 grade, we did have a development team on the field. However our batters pulled through again, with Ella Farrell and Kate Irwin scoring a partnership of 124 of the 150 runs required. The girls played extremely well in this grade and made it into the finals against Cornwall Green, which unfortunately got rained off and put us in 2nd place.

T20 Post Christmas: The second half of the season each team was given an option to either continue playing T20 or to play in the limited 35 over competition. 61. We decided that the T20 option was the best choice, which was agreed both by the girls & the management side. It was a very short comp with only 3 games - one game which we won, 1 loss and unfortunately one that we had to default. We had an extremely good win against Auckland University on the 7th March, with us chasing down 138 in 13 overs. Both Amity Drake & Ella Drumm did a fantastic job by starting off our innings with getting a partnership of 107. This game against Uni showed how much the girls had come together as a team through the season. It was a pleasure to watch each girl perform, whether it was by the bat, on the field or with the ball. I am extremely proud of all the girls and hope that they enjoyed the season together.

Summary: It was a fantastic season of individual achievements for many girls in both the reserves and prems. As a coach, it is always a great feeling to watch the girls improve and develop their skills to then perform and reach milestones on the field. From the beginning of the season we had a group of young girls who worked hard to develop their cricket and start pushing their way into the prems team. Kate Irwin, our 14 year old scored multiple half centuries in the reserves and when given the opportunity in our prems team scored 51* on her first game. This is a huge accomplishment for her and I look forward to seeing what she achieves in this coming season with Parnell. She is a batter to watch out for everytime she walks out onto the pitch. Amity Drake, who has just moved this season from Auckland University came in a bit nervous, obviously not knowing many of her new teammates. The girls made her feel welcome and by the end of the season also got picked to play in the prems side. She has been a huge asset to the team with both the bat (scoring consecutive 70’s), with the ball and also by wicket keeping. Renee Macmillan, who was our captain this year performed outstandingly with the ball. She set us up every game by taking wickets and keeping the opponents' runs low. By the end of the season she was also selected to play in the prems, proving her right to be there by taking 5 wickets for 14 runs. Another great highlight this year was having a lot of the girls return from the Reserves from the previous season. Emma Nisbet, who has been committed to the club for countless years, was a huge asset as one of our first change bowlers, with her best figures being 1/12. On another note, we also had girls achieving representative teams this year - Ella Drumm made the NZ Maori Schoolgirls, Ella Farrell made the Northern Districts squad & Kate Irwin made the Auckland U15 Girls. Along with the girls in the prems, there are a lot of players in Parnell that are on their way to fight for a position in the Hearts & the White Ferns. Once again, it was a pleasure to coach the girls and look forward to seeing what the next season brings.

62. “THIRDS” - SENIOR 3rd GRADE 3rd Limited Over 50 Champs. 4 wins 3 lost 5th Two Day Championship 3 wins 3 lost

Captain Mehul Chhagan Vice Capt. Cam Rope Back: Harry Prince, Quin Sorensen, Peter Hickman, Simon Walker, William Wild, Luke Trimming, Brad Gordon Front: Anku Dogra, Cameron Rope, Ashwin Haran, Mehal Chhagan, Callum McCarthy, Luke O’Toole, Absar ul Hasan

CAPTAIN MEHUL CHHAGAN REPORTING: A challenging season lay ahead of “The Thirds” after gaining promotion to the Auckland Cricket 3rd grade and losing our stalwart captain Elliot Jaffe to life overseas. The leadership group within the team was confident of making the step up and held a lofty goal of getting promoted to the Reserve Minors – the highest peak or “Everest” that the Thirds could reach. The One Day competition started with a relatively easy win over Papatoetoe at our home ground Orakei Domain. It was here that some big names made quite the impression – Matt Vercoe-Curtis was unlucky to miss out on his maiden Parnell century, falling for 98. Two men on debut for Parnell burst on to the scene with a pair of 60’s – Quinn Sorensen and Brad Gordon. We managed to rack up 299/7 before Papatoetoe dug in and finished on 203/9 with overseas player Ed Bartlett, Will Wild, and Cam Rope taking 2 wickets apiece – what a start for the Thirds and a huge confidence builder for the rest of the season. One of the more scintillating games this season was next against the old foe Grafton at Walker Park. Skip Mehul Chhagan’s inexperience showed when he decided to bowl on a green top which turned into a road. Not the best day in the field for the lads but after scoring 299 the week before, there was still a cause for optimism within the group. A 2nd wicket partnership between Luke Trimming and Sorrensen took us through to 100-2 at the 18th over mark, but regular wickets pegged us back. At 144- 6 there was still a lot of work to do and only 15 overs left, when Chhagan and Rope came together and set about building a partnership. Chhagan continued to target a very short straight boundary, but after going for one big shot too many, was out for 57 off 45. This left Wild and Peter Hickman to see us home, Parnell needing 10 runs off the last over to win a humdinger. Unfortunately, we could only scramble 5 and Grafton won by 5 runs. First blood to Grafton but we were to play them in a two dayer in the next two weeks to come, and we came back superbly to gain an outright win with first innings lead. A highlight from this game was a sensational hat-trick by Simon Walker, who left Grafton reeling at 1-3 from which they never fully recovered. Requiring 184 to win on the 2nd day was potentially a tricky target, but our top order stepped up, with Trimming scoring his first Parnell 50, and Luke O’Toole sealing the win with a blistering 42 off 26 deliveries. Hopes were high when Rope took over captaincy for a two dayer against Eden Roskill, and perhaps this was where we started to show our inconsistency. Rope led from the front with bat and ball but unfortunately, we gave up first innings points. Revenge was gained the next week when we disposed of Eden Roskill easily in a One Dayer – Will Hay the standout with a gritty 58 in the chase. For the remaining games before Christmas, it was our chance to stay atop the One Day leaderboard. Next up was Howick Pakuranga at a very lush Lloyd Elsmore Park where we were made to work very hard for our runs, eventually coming up short by 46 runs. The second thriller of the season was our last before Christmas, where we faced Ellerslie at Orakei. A solid all-round bowling effort restricted Ellerslie to 188/8, and we were cruising at 136-4 when the wheels started to fall off. Orakei started to take turn and our batsmen didn’t have any answers, but at 9 down with both our tailenders at the crease, we managed to sneak home by a solitary wicket. We went into the Christmas break pretty confident. The first game of the new year saw us pummel Birkenhead on a typically hot January Saturday. We got to see a glimpse of the future of Parnell Cricket with Dan Presland and Josh Irwin amongst the runs. The less said about the next few games the better against Suburbs New Lynn but the boys got to experience playing at Shore Road 1 in a Two Day match, something they may never experience again. Unfortunately, a dodgy pitch got the better of us and we couldn’t do the occasion justice. We needed to get our confidence back, and what better way than to go back to our “home”, Orakei Domain. The next 4 weeks at Orakei Domain would determine whether we would be promoted or not, and we gave ourselves every chance with a fantastic first innings win over Howick Pakuranga. Noteable batting performances from Rope, Gordon and Eddie Commons ensured we took first innings points, and Harry Prince started showing his worth after a string of injuries. However, the next game against Birkenhead turned our season on it’s head. Bowing first against Birkenhead on a rank turner, Prince spun a web around the Birkenhead batsmen, finishing with a miserly 5/11 of 9 unchanged overs. Going into the sheds at the break, the boys were confident of knocking the runs off, but it wasn’t to be as we were decimated for a paltry 61, basically handing our season over to the calculation gods. In what was to be our final game of the season, we travelled to Papatoetoe knowing we needed a big outright win to keep our hopes of promotion alive. The game started very well and we racked up 285, with newcomer Sam Jenkin, veteran Rudi Bisschoff and overseas player Callum McCarthy all bringing up half centuries. Going into day two, the plan was clear – take early wickets and bowl Papatoetoe out for as cheap as possible, and insert them back in if they hadn’t avoided follow on. The first part of the plan worked, with Papatoetoe bowled out for 145. With First Innings points secured, it was up to the bowlers to do the job again,

63. but on a flat pitch and hot day, Papatoetoe made us work hard, making 309 in their second innings. At Tea, the captains came together to try and make a game of it, and we were set 169 off 20 overs. The plan was to go for the target early and see what happens. Commons was promoted to open, and along with O’Toole gave us every chance of winning the game. When O’Toole fell, Jenkin picked up where he left off and the game was in the balance, but two run outs thwarted our plans for a famous victory, and we were short by 14 runs. Unfortunately, this was the last bit of cricket we would see for the season, but we could hold our heads high knowing we left everything on the field.

Players of Note:

Cam Rope: Ever the presence in the field and a fantastic strategist, Rope was again a valuable member of the team. Age was just a number for Rope as he wound back the clock to be the highest wicket-taker and second-highest run-scorer for the season.

Quinn Sorenson: Quinn made a huge impression in his few games he played for the Thirds, being promoted to the Reserves on the back of three half-centuries. Amazingly, he finished top scorer for the Thirds, with an impressive average of 40.29 and a strike rate of 128.18.

Luke O’Toole: Luke has become an integral member of the team, and again showed his worth with 254 runs for the season. Also called upon to bowl some niggly seam on the odd occasion, Luke transformed himself into a true all-rounder by taking the wicket keeping duties in a few games.

Eddie Commons: A new player to Parnell this season, Eddie was astute behind the stumps and always provided valuable input as a wicket keeper should. Eddie’s batting form was just coming into its own towards the end of the season.

Brad Gordon: “Canterbury A” came with a big reputation and justified it with a brace of half centuries and all round banter. We hope to see more of Brad next season.

Absar Ul-Hasan: A veteran of the Thirds, Absar put in the hard yards during the season and was a calm presence at the top of the order.

Simon Walker: The big fella finished with 24 wickets for the season, including a hattrick and a five-wicket bag. Trusty with the new ball and explosive at the death, Simon was also a presence in the field, regularly snaffling one-handed blinders.

Mehul Chhagan: Trusted with captaincy this season, Mehul had a big task on his hands and thoroughly enjoyed leading the boys. Personally, it was a decent all-round season for Mehul, finishing with 151 runs and 21 wickets.

Will Wild: The youngster showed potential and talent with the ball, but it was with the bat that Will turned heads. A player for the future.

Harman Minhas: You don’t often see a Left handed leg break bowler in club cricket and as the season wore on, Harman gained confidence in his skill. He has plenty more seasons with Parnell to come.

Harry Prince: The leggie from the UK had his fair share of injuries throughout the season but he was an integral part of the team when he played. The five-wicket bag against Birkenhead showed his potential and he was promoted to the Reserves straight after.

I would like to thank all the supporters and Parnell officials for their support this season. On and off the field it was challenging but I have no doubt that the Thirds can push for a place in Reserve Minors, thus making Parnell CC one of the strongest clubs in Auckland. A special thank you to the UK lads Harry, Callum Ed and Luke for giving it everything for the Thirds, and a big thanks to outgoing Director of Cricket Phil Horne for all your support. The Thirds wish you well in the future.

CAPTAIN JAMES PARTRIDGE REPORTING: After being so close for promotion for the second season in a row, the Prunes leadership group decided that this was to time to go all out for promotion. In saying this we hit the training paddock in the depth of Winter running fortnightly training seasons during July & August then weekly sessions in September. All with regular attendance of 10-15 guys. It had started with a whisper which turned into a thunderous roar, the Prunes where on the move with more and more new fellas turning up to our training seasons. We had worked hard and wanted to test ourselves, so we set up pre-season games with the Birkenhead Apricots and Waitakere side both from 6th Grade, which we won both games quite convincingly. We began the season with a team made up of a good mix of new and old Prunes, and our form continued as we brushed aside our opposition easily. We went into our first two dayer against Howick Pakuranga on a high and two wickets were the only thing between us and a outright victory. The team was not happy with this as these were the type of games which meant had failed in prior seasons. Going to our second Two day game we were not going to make the same mistake, bowling out Eden Roskill cheaply twice while we piled on 439 runs in our 60 overs. Then backed that up with a 365 run win against them in the one dayer. Early December saw the storm clouds gather as we lost back to back one day games going into to the Christmas break sitting third on the one day table but on top of the two day competition. The new year brought a focus for the Prunes, as we fought back from likely defeat in our opening one day game, to win against Howick Pakuranga which we followed up with a strong win against Takapuna. This Ended our one day competition in third with 5 wins and two losses. Back to the two day games, and this next game changed our season and our belief, we batted first against a strong Birkenheads team being bowled out for 243 off 55 overs, we finished the day having Birkenhead 7 – 40, after some amazing catches in the slips by Ollie Redwood. We backed this up on day two bowling the out for 102 then sending them back in and bowling them out for 185 which left us chasing 47 run over off eight overs we did it in under 5overs as Tim Konara went nuts smashing 30 off 15 and Ollie hitting 12 off 9. After another shocking performance loosing outright to Suburbs after we were short players we finished the season with two wins. We finished the season on top of the two day table by 0.26 of a point. This meant we had achieved what we had set up to do some 9 months earlier to win 7th Grade competition. 6th Grade watch out for the Prunes.

PRESIDENTS’ GRADE Captains: Carl Flaszynski and Chris Laycock

All the Presidets Men – following a notable win on 19 December

72. CAPTAIN CHRIS LAYCOCK REPORTING: With a squad of 22 eager players emerging from the off season training muster, a couple of last seasons regulars made way for 6 guys to make their debut with us. We played 13 games and only missed one game to rain in what was another great summer of cricket. We scored 2204 runs whilst we had 2580 scored against us, we lost 100 wickets whilst we took only 70. These stats saw us finish 11th out of the 14 teams, we won 2 games, lost 11 and had one team default against us (probably not out of fear!) Flash continued his fine captaincy of the team until, in round 2 he was the first of many to take an extended rest on the sidelines with an injury. I was graced once again with the captaincy “in lieu” for the remainder of the season which seems to be my penance. The results were not what we had expected but we represented our fine club in excellent fashion on and off the field and played some damn good cricket occasionally

T20 CENTRAL/EAST PRE CHRISTMAS 1ST PARNELL RCC Played 8 won 6 lost 1 abandoned 1 Captain: Dave Findley CAPTAIN DAVID FINDLEY REPORTING: Parnell RCC - RCC were very happy with the results of their first season in T20. Having moved from 35 over Business House grade cricket which they won for 4 years in a row, family commitments pushed them to a quicker format of the game they loved. A few new rules around retiring batsman, and changing to a shorter version made the initial games a bit of a challenge, but once they got into the groove of it they started to get some good results. Highlight of the season was a last ball thriller where 440 runs were scored in the game. Parnell RCC coming out on top smashing out middle stump on the last ball where 2 runs were required. The final few games scores of over 200 were common, as well as getting the opposition out for around 100 runs. A comfortable 80 run win final took home the trophy.
