Some highlights for this season include: - • Celebration of the Club’s 50th Year • Return to the club’s original colours (Red & Black) • Premiership to the 16A, 12A, 12E & 10A junior teams • Finalists to the A2, B1(2), B5 & B7 senior teams • New junior club record with Jonathan Haslam scoring 167 No in 14A • Runner Up of the SSJCA Junior Club Championship • Inaugural year for our U/10 development squad • A new microfiber playing shirt Congratulations to our 10A, 12A, 12E & 16A teams for being crowned premiers for 2008/09. Our Men’s teams found it a little tougher this year and although three teams made the final series all were defeated but not before putting in sterling efforts. There were many good individual & team performances which have been acknowledged throughout this year book and recommend the team’s end of year reports as they highlight the fun had by one & all. Our club celebrated its 50th year which saw us return to our original colours of black & red for this year only. Culmination of the celebrations was a luncheon held at the St Moritz Room, whereby close to 200 people attended the function, which was hosted by Ex Australian cricketer Len Pascoe and we were entertained by another Ex Australian cricketer, Rodney Hogg and singer Dave Prior. It was great to see that all 18 of our life members were able to attend, and family representing our 3 “retired” life members made it such a special day to acknowledge the services of players, administrators and supporters over many eras. I can tell you from reliable sources that the yarns were still continuing well into the night. Russ Waddell & Ian Latham must be congratulated for their efforts in organising this event & they also found time to compile the book “50 Years of Cricket – A history of a community club and the people who make it 1959 – 2008.” It is certainly worth a read. This year we introduced our U/10 development squad to assist our up and coming U8’s make the transition to traditional cricket that little bit easier. Renowned coach Peter Schofield put the boys through their paces with an army of helpers & the early indications are that this programme is here to stay. The club is very proud that our players and officials continue to support the SSJCA in their endeavour to improve cricket at all levels. A number of our players have represented the shire this year. I notice with interest that the careers of former junior players Ben Marciante and Sam Newman continue to excel. Ben made his first grade debut for Sutherland & has been selected in the NSW City U/19 squad, while Sam continues to take wickets for Sutherland and has also been selected in the NSW U/19 squad. Our Trivia night this year was well supported and hosted by our secretary Craig Rice. Craig did a wonderful job and I thank him for his efforts & support throughout the year, along with our ever ready committee who have again completed tasks on time. To the parents, coaches, managers and scorers your continued support and friendship is appreciated and we look forward to your ongoing commitment to the club, and hopefully you’ll find time to put your name forward to become involved on our committee & taking a more active role. Economic times have had its effect on our sponsors, but we do appreciate their support. Club patrons should acknowledge & support these loyal sponsors and when the opportunity arises, purchase their goods or services where appropriate. In closing let me say that I am already looking forward to the new season and please keep up to date with any club news from our state of the art website www.engadinedragonscc.org.au Steve Jones “TRIBUTE BOX” Throughout this Yearbook you will see “TRIBUTE” Boxes signifying a job well done. We ask you to note these businesses and people for the invaluable contributions they have made to our club. 5 SECRETARY’S REPORT The end of another successful season has come. It has been a special year celebrating our 50 years and an important milestone for the club I am not going to repeat the highlights of the year that Steve and Col have diligently recorded in their reports – it is all there for you to read and reflect upon. Instead I want to highlight the strength of this great community cricket club – the players, officials, coaches, managers, volunteers, sponsors and parents of today and from seasons past. A club such as the Dragons cannot survive 50 years without your enthusiasm and support. We are indeed very fortunate. Thank you on behalf of the current committee and give yourselves a big pat on the back for a job well done - we look forward to the next 50 years of the club. One of the enduring strengths of this club is the friendships that are developed at all levels. We all take pride in the successes of the club and we seek to be innovative in improving the cricket programs being offered at all levels in the club. I encourage as many of you to get involved in some capacity in the club in the upcoming season. I look forward to everyone’s return for the 2009-10 season which I note is only a few months away. Craig Rice TREASURER’S REPORT This year we saw 4 junior teams make the finals and all 4 win, these included 10A’s, 12A’s, 12E’s and 16A’s. We had 3 senior teams compete in the final but unfortunately with rain on the 2nd day and all teams fielding, all lost. During the year we held our 50th anniversary which was an overwhelming success and it was great to see so many past players and officials attend to make it a memorable afternoon.
