When I reflect on our achievements, an overwhelming positive is that we continue to feature in semi-final games across many of the grades. It’s a very positive indicator that the philosophy to focus on player development is the right one. We were again very well represented in semi-finals but this year we were able to convert this to a piece of silverware, winning arguably one of the best Limited Overs finals to have ever been played in Sydney Premier Cricket. It was a day to savour, and who can forget that last ball and the celebration that immediately followed. I’m sure more will be written in Matty Halse’s First Grade report. Somewhat disappointingly, the weather rolled in about mid-March and significantly disrupted semi-final cricket. Unfortunately for our First and Third grade teams we were bundled out in the first week without bowling a ball. The Fifth grade team got through to the second week but were beaten by a strong St George team, and the Metropolitan Cup boys dominated all year only to lose to Gordon in the grand final. I expect we’ll see more of the boys in the grade teams in the years ahead. The women’s Second grade team also made the semi-finals only to be knocked out due to the weather. The Poidevin-Gray team dominated the competition rounds but unfortunately didn’t play their best cricket in the quarter-final and lost to Fairfield. The Green Shield team were well coached and did a super job to make the semi-finals, only to lose a tight game against the competition favourites Northern District. The future looks bright. From an outsider’s perspective there seems to be a strong work ethic within the bulk of the playing and coaching group that manifests itself in self-belief. This has resulted in winning games that we shouldn’t have. We see evidence of a strong, positive culture: even when it is extremely hot we still have very good numbers at training. I would encourage you to continue to challenge each other and maintain the great culture that we have within the club. It’s not every day that you say goodbye to 2 people who have collectively been involved in the club for over 35 years, but this year we farewell Matty ‘Bunger’ Halse and Steve ‘Jack’ Small. Matty has been with the club since 1994 when he joined the Green Shield team and has been a member of 5 premiership winning teams, a superb effort and reflection of his contribution to the team, his ability and character.
