President’s Report 2020-21 by Mike Whitney AM, President

My dear brothers and sisters, In the years to come we will look back on our 20th year as a watershed season. Yes, we added another First Grade Limited Overs premiership to the cabinet, the 16th title in our history, and Metro Gold made a strong push to be semi-finalists. But we should remember that the club is younger now, with more players under 21 than ever before. We should therefore look to the future, rather than the season gone, and rebuild united, and continue our reputation and legacy in NSW Premier Cricket.

Last season I wrote “The other 19 clubs will come hard at us next season, but we’ll be ready for them as defending Champions!!” And they did. Competition in the Grades was tough with several matches going down to the wire and the scale could have been tipped in our favour on a number of occasions.

Finishing 19th in the Club Championship and low down the table in several grades is very disappointing to me as President. While these results cut deep, they are not a reflection on the abilities of our players. I know deep down that we have the fortitude to turn around our fortunes in 2021-22. Don’t dwell on this season – the only way is up and again to quote my 19th report, John Wooden (American basketballer and Head Coach UCLA – 10x NCAA National Champions) stated “If we fail to adapt, we fail to move forward.” I know our players have the skill with bat and ball and these results can be turned around. We need to be innovative and forward thinking in our approach to cricket and look to left field. WHAT CAN WE ALL DO TO IMPROVE? Is it extra hits in the off season with your teammates or an extra half an hour bowling or fielding at training? At Randwick Petersham we have a dedicated Committee, volunteers, coaches and of course, players, and planning has begun to strengthen the club. But we need EVERYONE on board!!!

With other external commitments easing, I was able to get to training and matches on a greater number of occasions than in the past 19 years. I was overwhelmed by the numbers week in / week out at training and the emergence of so many talented young cricketers who stepped up in matches. These young men are the future of the Randy Petes and we will pull out all stops to develop them into our future 1st Graders and leaders. I also enjoyed the opportunity to work with our fast bowlers as the club’s fast bowling coach and a mentor in PGs.

I must congratulate 1st Grade on their Limited Overs premiership success, particularly as they had their backs to the wall and were completely written off leading into the Grand Final by all but one of the other 18 1st Grade skippers. I can understand Sydney’s home ground advantage and the tough QF and SF wins played a part in their predictions, but how sweet is victory – especially as an underdog!! I must admit to shedding a few tears after the win. I’m so proud of the boys and congratulate Jason Sangha with two premierships as skipper in two seasons.

And speaking of Sangha – well done on your finish to the season in representative cricket Jason, after a lean beginning. Your strength of character shone through, as it would have been disappointing warming the entire BBL bench (and COVID bubbles certainly wouldn’t have helped). But to come out against Queensland and score your third first-class ton, win a Marsh Cup with NSW and be runners up in the Sheffield Shield, you make all of us Randy Petes proud. We look forward to you continuing this form in Darwin and in 2021-22.

Continuing on the player’s front, congratulations to Dan Sams – firstly joining the Australia white ball tour of England and then debuting in T20 Internationals v India at home and how about his first wicket – none other than the Indian champion Kohli!! We are immensely proud of your rise, “Samsy”. Congratulations must also be afforded to two absolute Legends who continue to break records each season while espousing the Club’s values of trust, respect, and humility!! Adam Semple, who Lyall Gardner, has christened the “Iron Warrior”, ends this season with the most all-time matches for the Club of 288 alongside 6,024 runs and 383 wickets in 1st Grade – a genuine all-rounder. While Anthony Sams, the best gloveman in our history, completed 237 matches along with 5,678 runs and 401 dismissals. Finally, I was greatly impressed by the overall impact of Riley Ayre. In the four seasons at the club, his growth as a player has been astronomical and the accolades are rightfully deserved – another OA Taylor / Martin Bedkober Medal (secnd in three seasons), Most Runs and MVP – highlights his absolute class and impact as a genuine all-rounder –and an absolute gentleman as well. Well done Riles!!

As President, it made me extremely proud to witness three young cricketers make their 1st Grade debut. It was even more special that they debuted together v Manly-Warringah but more so, that they are all former local juniors and are the first to move through the ranks at the Randy Petes from Metro to 1st Grade – Congratulations to Mitchell O’Loughlin, Jackson Eldridge and Ravin De Silva and I look forward to them adding to their 1st Grade caps in the seasons to come.

6 As stated earlier I have been able to witness first-hand the playing side of the club and I am appreciative as ever to Cricket Operations, expertly led by Director, Bill Anderson. His expertise, knowledge and behind-the-scenes work is certainly a labour of love, extending to the players and the club. My appreciation also extends to the dedication of our specialist and lower grade coaches, Michael Wood, Eddie Otto and Sanjiv Dubey who worked to develop the players’ individual skills – thanks too to Woody and Sanjiv who turned out in the lower grades and imparted their knowledge in match contexts. My heartfelt thanks, brothers!!

To our wonderful and supportive sponsors – you are more than sponsors, you are part of the Randy Petes family. On behalf of myself as President, the Management Committee, players and supporters, thank you a thousand times for your unwavering support - Philip Iacovou and his staff from Platinum Sponsor Lefand Group, Danny Fitzgerald, Marty Nigro and the staff at Petersham RSL, Nick Fradd, Osama Makhoul and the staff at Suttons City Rosebery, Blake Henman, James Muir at O’Neills Sportswear Australia, Geoff and John Cartwright at Cartwright Insurance Brokers, Mark Mellick of Mellick Wealth Management, Michael and Marlee Anker at Bistro Rex, Rob McKenna at Adina Hotel Apartment Coogee, Peter Swan and Nicola Powell at Clovelly Community Bank Branch Bendigo Bank, Mets and Susie Analin, Danny Nelan and staff at Titan Fitness, Dr Adrian Raftery at Mr Taxman, Veenus and Preet at Indian Paradise, Roy Kowarski of Out There Branding, Derek Dewey of Garrard & Flack Australia, Lachlan Stewart and Simon Keith at Elastoplast Australia/NZ, Nick Papas and Eleni Roumanous at Century 21 Eastern Beaches, Dave Martin of Courtyard Cafe, Bamboozld, Trish and Jacqui The Co-Australia, Lisa Norris of The Investment Collective, Rob at Opkix and David Warner and Tidal Seltzer. Each season these partnerships allow us to play the game we love. At this time especially, I would implore all our members to engage with our sponsors, and introduce them to your families and friends, which will allow them to continue bouncing back from the effects of COVID-19.

I also acknowledge the continuous support of our Federal, State and Local government representatives – the Mayors of Randwick and Inner West; Councillors Danny Said and Darcy Byrne, The Hon Matt Thistlethwaite (Kingsford-Smith), The Hon Dr Marjorie O’Neill (Coogee), The Hon Michael Daley (Maroubra), The Hon Ron Hoenig (Heffron) and The Hon Jo Haylen (Summer Hill) have been extremely encouraging in allowing us to provide the best facilities and equipment to enable our players to flourish. Working across multiple LGAs and Electorates is not an easy task and each member and their staff has made this seamless. Furthermore, I acknowledge the friendship with the Consulate General of Ireland, Sydney – The Consul General Mr Owen Feeney and the Vice Consul Mr Rory Conaty and our friends at Cricket Ireland Warren Deutrom, Richard Holdworth and Peter Johnston.

Financially, we conclude a second financial year in the black!! CFO Jeremy Jastrzab has been scrupulous in ensuring our financial health, cognisant of current COVID impacts, while also examining the surety of the club’s future through a number of pecuniary measures. I am also appreciative of Jeremy overseeing the smooth completion of the Petersham renovations. His eye for detail as well as his strong relations with IWC, are gratefully appreciated. On top of that, he led his Metro Gold side strongly into the semi- final and only record-breaking rains curtailed a berth in the Grand Final.

So too, I thank Alan Wright and Peter Devlin for continuing our strong relationship with Green Options. The dividends are evident in our climbing ground rankings. It was unbelievable to read that Snape had jumped 21 places, from 31 to 10, in the space of a season. Both oversaw the complete redevelopment of our turf practice and centre wicket at Snape during last winter. Yes, they were a little temperamental during the season, but come 21-22 they’ll be schmick. Furthermore, they will actively work with Green Options to continue the improvement of our training facilities during the offseason.

Over 18 months ago I was blown away by the efforts of our Club Historian, Lyall Gardner, with the publication of Heroes of the Ages – Part 1. But when I was handed Part 2, a couple of months ago, I had tears running down my cheeks as I read through and recalled the memories of my time in Grade cricket – recounting great friends, teammates and matches. This volume will resonate with so many as it is living history!! The Herculean efforts can never be repaid, by the club and its players and supporters, “Hollywood”. The deepest and sincerest thanks to you for your unbelievable dedication!!

Our partnership with Cricket Ireland continues to strengthen even though a player didn’t join us this past summer. But I was proud to witness former Randy Pete, Andrew Balbirnie, skipper his country to another historic win over England and pass 2,000 ODI runs during that series. Harry Tector make his ODI debut in the same series while Barry McCarthy and Peter Chase became senior members of the side while Stephen Doheny led the Irish Wolves aggregate on their tour of Bangladesh earlier this year. We look forward to an Irishman joining us again when the borders reopen.

I must extend special thanks to our departing Head Coach, Greg Small, for his tireless efforts in his six seasons with the club. In that time, we have won four Premiership across the grades, played in another two Grand Finals and two Finals matches. Smally’s professionalism extended beyond his coaching into the junior clubs and associations in our catchment area and formed strong relationships with both sides of Anzac Parade, introducing many aspiring juniors to Green Shield and Premier Cricket. Furthermore, his knowledge of our players was second to none. Smally – on behalf of the club and Committee we thank you for your service.

In closing, our 20th season is an anomaly. Yes, 1st Grade won the Limited Overs Cup, young players emerged, and Metro made the semis, but it is evident we can’t rest on the laurels of the past. Yes, we have two Club Championships, 16 Premierships, multiple finals appearances and representative players – but that means nothing if we don’t look to the future!! Trust-Respect-Humility

8 A message from the Mayor, Clr Darcy Byrne, Inner West Council

Dear members 2020 was a challenging and uncertain year for all in our community, but grassroots sports organisations were among the hardest hit. As you are well aware, these disruptions did not only impact the operational and logistical side of community sport but affected the social value and ties that come with organised group sport such as social engagement, community support networks and much more. You may not know that sporting clubs represent the largest volunteer network in Australia. Throughout the pandemic Council worked with our sporting clubs to both support you and provide ways that you could continue to assist our community. I was overwhelmed but unsurprised by the response and the contribution of local sport clubs to assist members of our community through the pandemic. Things are improving though as we look forward to the 2021-22 season. One of these positive developments is the completion of the new grandstand at Petersham Oval. This new facility is scheduled to be open in time for this season and includes: Upgraded changeroom and bathrooms providing universal access and female friendly facilities Upgraded umpires room Waterproofing to upper grandstand New internal & external lighting Upgraded services (Electrical & gas supply etc) Upgraded footpaths & landscaping Heritage interpretation including artwork of cricketer Mollie 'the Demon' Flaherty, one of the Inner West's historic sporting trailblazers and considered the first genuine female fast bowler in international women’s cricket. The opening of this new facility will be the perfect way to begin the celebrations for the club’s 21st anniversary and I wish you all the best of luck for the year ahead. Darcy Byrne Inner West Mayor

Report of the MANAGEMENT COMMITTEE by John Stewart, Chief Executive Officer

Our 20th season closed with another First Grade Limited Overs premiership in the cabinet and Metro Gold making the Semi-Finals. Congratulations to both captains – Jason Sangha and Jeremy Jastrzab. It was disappointing for all that our other teams were unable to finish higher than they did or have a crack at Finals particularly in this milestone season. But, I reiterate the words of our President “that we should remember that the club is younger now and we should look to the future, rather than the season gone, to rebuild and continue our reputation and legacy in the NSW Premier Cricket competition.” To do this, the Committee is looking forward to next season and preparation is underway for Season 21 across Operations, Players, Finance, Grounds and Sponsorship.

ADMINISTRATION – The Committee meetings adjusted to COVID regulations and for the first time in the club’s history, meetings were conducted online regularly, to ensure the smooth running of the club. At those meetings, John Stewart and Paul O’Loughlin (Administration / Sponsorship), Bill Anderson (Operations), Jeremy Jastrzab (Finance), Chris Sullivan and Robin Gardner (Social), Peter Devlin and Alan Wright (Grounds) and newly elected member, Pratulya Kashyap (IT) provided reports for each of their portfolios. Since the AGM on 2 August 2020, the Committee met seven times with the following attendances: Robin Gardner (5), Michael Whitney (7), John Stewart (7), Bill Anderson (7) Jeremy Jastrzab (7), Peter Devlin (6), Alan Wright (7), Peter Wright (7), Chris Sullivan (7), Paul O’Loughlin (7), Richard Chee Quee (3) and Pratulya Kashyap (6). Head Coach, Greg Small and Club Captain, Adam Semple, also attended meetings. It was also enjoyable to move back to face to face meetings in 2021.

REPRESENTATIVE PLAYERS – This season we were again well represented nationally and internationally. David Warner continued his fine form for Australia and NSW and was rewarded at season’s end with Cricket Australia’s Joint Marsh Cup Player of the Year and similarly was bestowed the same honour by NSW. Dan Sams made his T20 International debut v India performing with both bat and ball after touring England with the white ball team. Also, for a second consecutive season, he was named in the BBL10 Team of the Tournament as an X-Factor player. The Club was proud to see Jason Sangha return to representative cricket with NSW scoring his third first-class century, winning the Marsh One Day and being a Sheffield Shield Finalist. Congratulations are also extended to James Seymour, who joined the club for the seven matches before Victorian Premier Cricket began, upon his debut for Victoria in first-class and List A cricket at the end of the season, after accumulating over 1,000 runs in 2020-21. Additionally, Riley Ayre and Caelan Maladay joined Sangha in playing a number of 2nd XI matches for ACT/NSW Country. It should also be noted that COVID, of course, curtailed all overseas/ International players thus presenting a greater opportunity for players to step up but it was a proud moment to witness Andrew Balbirnie’s 100 v England where he led from the front in an historic ODI win as well as Harry Tector’s maiden ODI 50.

PREMIERS PLATE – More will be conveyed in the report, but a great honour was bestowed on the club as the 2019-20 Belvidere Cup Premiers with the hosting of the inaugural SCG Premier’s Plate at Coogee Oval on 28 February 2021. The club’s link with this match was further strengthened with the striking of the Player of the Match medal in recognition of Simon Katich. Though we were on the wrong side of the ledger against a star-studded SCG XI, it was a fantastic and historic day’s cricket. We look forward to some of our players representing the SCG XI in this match in the seasons to come.

GROUNDS –The Management Committee has continued the hard work to continually strengthen these areas and ensure the upward trajectory of the club. Ground Liaison Manager, Peter Devlin and Grounds Manager, Alan Wright, have extended and strengthened our relationships with Green Options and by next season the Snape decks should be well settled. In the Inner West, Jeremy Jastrzab has again worked tirelessly, liaising with Inner West Council overseeing the completion of the Petersham Oval grandstand. Similarly, the Coogee grandstand’s redevelopment has been completed and the Committee expresses its absolute gratitude to Carla Stacy and Lojine Frost at Inner West Council along with Andrix Construction and Todd Clarke, Ryan Zammit and Seamus Humphries at Randwick Council and Xenia Construction. It has been a long process, whereby we’ve required flexibility and endured a little bit of pain, but upgrades of our grounds are a necessity, and it is fantastic that four of our five grounds are complete. Your Committee looks forward to returning Premier Cricket to these historic grounds next season. Finally, Snape Park’s training facilities were completed 12 months ago and in 2021-22 the nets should be a lot more settled – and keep an eye out as more upgrades at Snape are in the works, thanks to Randwick Council.

FINANCES – There will be greater detail in the CFO’s report, but it is a proud moment to announce that the club is continuing to operate in surplus. This is no mean feat, especially with COVID, and epitomises Jeremy’s tireless work to regulate the club’s spending across all areas of our operation. There have been a number of strategies devised, and others in the works, to continue this upward trajectory.

SPONSORSHIP – Randwick Petersham is well supported by valued sponsors and the strong relationships forged are evident with every sponsor from 2019-20, bar one, returning to support us. Furthermore, the number increased this season with two additions. The Management Committee encourages all members to support and promote our sponsors into your networks. We are appreciative of the ongoing commitment and support from Platinum Sponsor, Lefand Group, as well as Petersham RSL, Suttons City Zetland, O’Neills Sportswear Australasia, Cartwright Insurance Brokers, Mellick Wealth Management, Bistro Rex, Adina Hotel Apartment Coogee, Clovelly Community Bank Branch Bendigo Bank, Titan Fitness, Mr Taxman, Indian Paradise, Out There Branding, Garrard & Flack Australia, Elastoplast, Century 21 Eastern Beaches Maroubra, Courtyard Café, Bamboozld, The Co- Australia, The Investment Collective, Tidal Seltzer and Opkix. We thank them for their support on and off the field.

Similarly, there will be greater detail in the Grounds Report, but appreciation must be extended to Peter Devlin, Alan Wright and Jeremy Jastrzab for their tireless work. Again, improvement in ground ratings for a second consecutive season is testament to their hard work as well as the tireless efforts of Green Options – 1st Grade ground Coogee ranked 4th (5th) and Petersham 14th (n/a) while amongst lower grade grounds, Kensington ranked 22nd (20th) and Snape leapt enormously to 10th (31st) (2019-20 rankings in bold). We have also continued to provide turf wickets and training facilities to junior clubs, Easts, the SCG XI, corporate groups and other community organisations.

We offer our appreciation to Mayor Clr Danny Said and his staff at Randwick City Council and Mayor Clr Darcy Byrne and his staff at Inner West Council, for their unwavering support as well as to Green Options by maintaining our grounds in an expert manner. The Committee also thank the staff at both Councils for the monumental efforts in upgrading Coogee and Petersham and we are all excited to return there next season. (I draw your attention to the later report of these projects)

GRANTS – Under the leadership of Alan Wright, Jeremy Jastrzab and Antony Sachs, a number of grants were received to allow for upgrades of training and ground equipment at Coogee, Snape and Kensington. We extend our gratitude to The Hon Matt Thistlethwaite MP, The Hon Dr Marjorie O’Neill MP, The Hon Jo Haylen MP and The Hon Dave Sharma MP. Again, their steadfast support throughout the summer and their assistance, is gratefully appreciated.

WEBSITE / SOCIAL MEDIA – Under Pratulya Kashyap’s technical expertise, our website is one of the best in NSW Premier Cricket and our social media is making great inroads with Manly-Warringah CC reporting from some national statistics, that as at 4 January 2021, we proudly, had the seventh highest number of supporters out of all Premier Clubs in Australia.

SOCIAL – Unfortunately, COVID put the brakes on a number of our traditional functions and especially our 20th Season celebrations. But the Social Committee, under the leadership of Chris Sullivan, Robin Gardner and Graeme Hughes, are well underway in planning functions in 2021-22. Watch this space!!

MILESTONES - Congratulations are also in order to a number of Randy Petes who passed significant milestones this season. Firstly, Charith De Silva is now the undisputed leading wicket-taker in the history of the Metro Cup with 136 scalps. He also passed the 150 caps milestone, finishing the season with a total of 156. Adam Semple became the highest capped player in our 20 seasons with 288, while scoring 6,148 runs and taking 385 wickets. And Anthony Sams hit the 237 caps mark scoring 5,678 runs and completing a magic 401 dismissals. Congratulations also to Fabian Heaton for passing 150 caps to record 162 and John Stewart who now has 236.

Finally, the Committee extends its thanks to two clubmen. Firstly, we thank Head Coach, Greg Small, for his professionalism and dedication over his six seasons with the club. We are gratefully appreciative of his efforts in developing our players as well as leading them to four Premierships across the grades and a number of finals appearances. We are also thankful to Pratulya Kashyap who has made great strides in developing the club’s website and social media which has become a standout in NSW Premier Cricket. PK has also been a valuable player as 5th Grade VC and as a member of the Committee. We thank both men for their outstanding contributions.

In the beginning...... The decision taken in 2001 by two of Sydney’s oldest and most famous grade cricket clubs to merge caused much consternation and surprise in cricket circles. It had generally been regarded that once the NSW Cricket Board dropped its proposal to axe four clubs as a means of reducing the number of 1st Grade clubs to 16, Randwick and Petersham-Marrickville, two of the threatened clubs which had brought the issue to a head by proposing to merge, would continue to operate in their individual right. And while that was an obvious outcome, the many benefits identified in those earlier discussions could not be ignored by each club.

The combination of first class facilities, the mixture of experience and youth in the playing ranks, the large volunteer base of each club, the capability of the management team, the financial solidarity and the overall enthusiasm of all concerned were all fitting attributes for a successful merger. Throw in the blending of similar cultures and the resultant recipe for a fruitful amalgamation was difficult to reject.

A memo of understanding contemplated that the existing club names and colours would be combined to produce the Randwick Petersham title with the green, gold and white colour scheme while the Randwick “Pegasus” logo encased in the Petersham-Marrickville shield would create the new club emblem. It was also proposed that Coogee and Petersham ovals would alternate as the 1st Grade ground while for the first two years Randwick would supply the first President and Secretary. It was also agreed that the 11 committee member positions would be split six to Randwick and five to Petersham-Marrickville.

A joint meeting of members from both clubs was held on 19 July 2001 and the proposal to merge was adopted unanimously. Randwick Petersham Cricket Club Incorporated was born. New President Mike Whitney with former presidents Phil Tresidder of Randwick 20 years on…… and Wayne Mulherin of Petersham-Marrickville There can be no doubt that the decision to bring two of Sydney’s great cricket club together has been an outstanding success, a point acknowledged throughout the Grade Cricket scene. There has hardly been a season where Randwick Petersham has not featured in some aspect of the game. And while many will seek the club’s formula for success it is quite clear to those involved that it can be put down to one simple element—its people. The embracing of the new club from the start, the determination, hard work and clear focus of those many volunteers in all facets of the club’s administration and management left little room for failure. It has been a happy merger and one which brought new life and enthusiasm for Sydney Grade Cricket—now NSW Premier Cricket- -to many people.

SEASON FIXTURES Because of the World-Wide COVID-19 pandemic and the unavailability of some cricket venues due to the extension of many winter sports, there were major changes to the 2020-21 NSW Premier Cricket program. For the first three rounds almost to the end of October 2020. Only 1st and 2nd grades played. They were joined in round 4 by 3rd, 4th and 5th grades with all grades playing the same club that round and the following. However, rounds 6, 7 and 8 were split, with 1st and 2nd grades playing two-day matches and the three lowers playing one day limited overs games. This meant that by the end of round 8, all teams had played eight matches. Unfortunately, there was further upheaval half-way through round 8 with the second scheduled day cancelled, due to a break-out of the virus in the Northern Beaches area of Sydney, resulting in travel restrictions in and out of that location. And while that scare continued through the Christmas-New Year period, the competition resumed on schedule on Saturday 9 January 2021, with matches back in parallel from round 9. Round 1 v Fairfield-Liverpool (Limited Overs matches) Sat. 26 Sept 2020 1st Grade: WON by 58 runs @ Petersham—6-255cc to 197 (WON toss): See separate Limited Overs summary for full details. 2nd Grade: lost by 3 runs @ Kensington—151 to 8-154cc (lost toss): Mitch O’Loughlin (3-42 off 10) struck twice to have them 2-25 but a solid partnership took the score to 2-110 before the third wicket fell. A great fightback by the bowlers saw runs dry up with the last five wickets putting on just 23. Chasing a below-par score, a steady fall of wickets saw the score a shaky 5-66. New skipper Jackson Eldridge fought hard for 42 while James Mahony-Brack almost brought home the points with 30* before O’Loughlin was bowled three runs short. Round 2 v Blacktown Mounties (2 Day matches) Sats. 3 & 10 Oct 2020 1st Grade: WON by 98 runs @ Petersham—6-362d to 264 (WON toss): A century by James Seymour, a recruit from the Melbourne club Essendon, was the highlight of an outstanding day. Seymour finished with 137 off 246 balls with 17x4 and 2x6. Skipper Jason Sangha was unlucky not to bring up three figures as well, when he was caught for an impressive 95 off 167 balls with 15x4 and 2x6. He and Seymour put on 171 for the second wicket. Anthony Sams added a hard-hit 61 off just 76 balls. He shared a partnership of 106 for the third wicket with Seymour. Riley Ayre added 37* off 37 balls. On day 2 it was Daya Singh taking the bowling honours with 4-55 (15) supported by Riley Ayre with 4-62 (24). Caelan Maladay took 1-62 (15). 2nd Grade: lost by 5 runs @ Kensington—301 to 8-306d (lost toss): Blacktown batted first and at 4-81 the bowlers had done a great job on a hot day. But a partnership of 141 swung the pendulum and the final score of more than 300 was going to be a big ask. Jacob Wood bowled 33 overs to take 4-116 while Ash Burton sent down 18 for 2-61. Fast Bowler Mitch O’Loughlin really put in for 2-53 off 24 overs. In reply on day 2, a solid opening partnership of 96 between Josh Mellick with 51 and Adam Docos with 63 gave the side a chance. But at 6-159 it looked all over. James Mahony-Brack (46) and Scott Sharma (79) then put on 120 to get to 7-279 and in with a real show. But despite the best efforts of the tail, they fell 5 runs short with two balls left.

Round 3 v Bankstown (2 Day matches) Sats. 17 & 24 Oct 2020 1st Grade: DRAWN @ Bankstown–7-288d to 1-58 (WON toss): It was not a good start with the score teetering at 3-51. But Riley Ayre was the saviour. He scored 108 off 247 balls in 326 minutes with 12 fours at Bankstown Oval. Tim Affleck scored 64 off 153 balls with 8 fours. The pair put on 130 for the 4th wicket. Skipper Daya Singh threw the bat late in the day for 32 off 47 while Scott Coyte, whacked 28* off 28. A wet day 2 saw the match called off after Daya Singh took the only wicket for a drawn result. 2nd Grade: DRAWN @ Coogee–7-379d to 4-91 (lost toss): Sent in to bat, both openers were gone with 26 on the board. That brought together, Ravin De Silva and skipper Jackson Eldridge, who scored a new 2nd Grade partnership record of 246 for the 3rd wicket. It was the second highest partnership for that wicket in the club’s 20 year history. Ravin made 165 off 253 balls with 14 fours and 4 sixes. Jackson scored 114 off 230 balls with 9 fours. It was the fifth time centuries by two players had been scored in the same innings in 2nd Grade. The final score of 7-379 was the highest against Bankstown since the 7-389 in 2008-09. On a wet day 2, openers Mitch O’Loughlin (2-19 off 10) and Jamie Hemphrey (2-40 off 14) struck early but after 28.3 overs the rain set in and the match was drawn. Round 4 v Northern District (Limited Overs matches) Sat. 31 Oct 2020 1st Grade: DRAWN @ Coogee–2-157cc to 0-0 (lost toss): See separate Limited Overs summary for full details. 2nd Grade: lost by 54 runs @ Petersham–72 to 126 (WON toss): Ash Burton was the star helping to bowl out NDs in 41.3 overs taking 4- 15 off 8.3 overs. Mitch O’Loughlin (2-21 off 9) and Jamie Hemphrey (2-36 off 10) completed the rout. They were 8-71 with the last two wickets worth 55. In reply, it was one way traffic down a dead-end lane! At 3-5 and 5-25 we were lucky to make 72 with Jacob Wood the only one in double figures with 18. A shocker as storm clouds broke over-head. NDs took a bonus point as well. 3rd Grade: lost by 51 runs @ Mark Taylor–4-44 to 8-221cc (WON toss): Sending the opposition didn’t bring the expected rewards in wet conditions when a partnership of 135 for the fifth took NDs from 4-58 to 5-193. With storms approaching we needed to be 95 after 15.3 when the match was abandoned but could only make 44. Like 2s, they also took a bonus point. Rob Montedoro with 3-58 off 10 played best. 4th Grade: DRAWN @ Kensington–1-8 (3.5 overs) to 5-130cc (38.2 overs) (WON toss): Another team sent in to bat which ended up controlling the game. Although not a big score to chase, the storm put paid to the match very early. Will Deller with 2-11 off 6 bowled well. 5th Grade: lost by 110 runs (BONUS point conceded) @Asquith–8-110 (34) to 6-220cc (lost toss): NDs batted first and belted up a handy score. Sriram Suresh did best of the bowlers with 3-34 off 10. He also made second top-score with 19 behind Fabian Heaton’s 39. Round 5 v Penrith (Limited Overs matches) Sat. 7 Nov 2020 1st Grade: WON by 12 runs @ Coogee–9-244cc to 232 (WON toss): See separate Limited Overs summary for full details. 2nd Grade: WON by 40 runs @ Howell–7-275cc to 235 (WON toss): Batting first, RPC was away to a flyer with 0-50 off 8 overs helped along by 28 extras including 10 wides and 8 no-balls. Jackson Eldridge with 58 off 79 with 2x4; Adam Docos with 46 off 64 (5x4) and Jacob Wood with 39 off 32 (2x4) did best. Extras finished at 41. Penrith were 4-78 before a partnership of 80 was broken. They lost the last 4 for 17. Mitch O’Loughlin with 3-42 off 10, Wood with 2-32 off 10 and Jamie Hemphrey with 2-48 off 10 had best figures in the team’s first win. 3rd Grade: lost by 2 wkts @ Petersham–9-181cc to 8-183 (lost toss): A start of 48 after being sent in was ideal and at 2-89 a good score looked a chance. But the next 8 wickets could make just 92 with Tom Holland’s 56 the only score above 27 scored by Kel Mullins. Early inroads by Mandar Mariguddi (3-27 off 10) had them struggling at 5-59 but a 48 run partnership for the 6th and 43 for the 8th enabled them to get home in the 48th over. Ben Montedoro with 3-32 off 10 was the other successful bowler. One that got away. 4th Grade: lost by 7 wkts (BONUS point conceded) @ Petersham–44 to 3-45 (lost toss): Sent in to bat after a wet week, no-one got going. One of the team’s worst-ever scores. 5th Grade: lost by 84 runs (BONUS point conceded) @ Kensington–8-208cc to 7-124 (lost toss): Penrith batted first and while the bowling was reasonably tight, they were under little threat. In reply, only Damian Sidney with 33 got going with Fabian Heaton next with 18. Round 6 v Manly (2 Day matches 1st & 2nds) A WHITEWASH-losses in all grades Sat. 14 & 21 Nov 2020 1st Grade: lost by 9 wkts @ Manly–98 & 7-192 to 5-230d (WON toss): It was a reasonable start at 2-62 with the Affleck brothers both gone. Riley Ayre again batted well with 47 off 97 with 7x4. But inexplicably the wheels fell off and the side lost 8 for 26 against the spin of Steve O’Keeffe (4-17) and Jake Carden’s medium-pace (4-24). The score of 98 was the team’s worst-ever score against Manly. Worse was to follow as after Daya Singh took a wicket second ball, the next partnership totalled 192 with Jack Edwards making 107 in the stumps score of 5-230. Debutant Mitchell O’Loughlin had some success at the end, bowling Davies and Herd with successive balls but narrowly missing the hat-trick with an inside-edge into the pads. He finished with 2-24 off 7 overs. It was a matter of survival on day 2 with Riley Ayre again the star with 56* (168b 5x4 1x6). The Affleck brothers batted almost to lunch in making 70 for the first wicket. Will 37 and Tim 31. 2nd Grade: lost by 145 runs @ Coogee–201 to 9-346d (lost toss): At 3-95 there was a chance to get into the game but a ton by no. 6 put paid to that. Scott Sharma took the honours with 4-60 and also was the only bat to show any real resolve with 51 (124b 7x4). Ben Montedoro with 43 and Ash Burton with 41* played a late hand. Round 3 limited overs lower grades v Fairfield-Liverpool Sat 14 Nov 2020 3rd Grade: lost by 7 wkts @ Petersham–8-230cc to 4-233 (WON toss): Batting first, it may have been regarded as the Reuben Sachs Show as at 17 years/42 days he became the second youngest to score a century in 3rd Grade. He scored 108 off 108 balls in 190 minutes with 10x4. Unfortunately, no one else scored more than 19 leaving the final total a good one but vulnerable. And that’s how it turned out with the bowlers unable to contain the top three in the Lions batting with a ton and two half-tons to easily haul in the target in just 40 overs. 4th Grade: WON by 5 wkts (plus BONUS point) @ Fairfield–5-105 to 104 (WON toss): Sending the Lions in to bat paid early dividends with all 10 wickets taken for 90 more runs after the openers put on 14. Alex Deller took 3-20 off 8; skipper Liam O’Loughlin 2-8 off 8 and Mitchell Winslade 2-16 off 4. Dale Hackney batted best with 31 off 47 while four others made runs in the teens for a win in 28.4 overs and a BONUS point. 5th Grade: lost by 4 wkts @ Kensington–9-145cc to 6-149 (lost toss): Batting first, Sriram Suresh was the backbone of the batting with 62 and 4x4. Freddy Whalebone supplied support with 20. At 2-89 in reply, the game looked all over and so it proved to be with Pratulya Kashyap the leading wicket-taker with 3-47 off 9.2. Scott Stirling took 2-35 off 8. Only 43.2 overs were needed by Fairfield.

Round 4 limited overs lower grades v Manly-Warringah Sat 14 Nov 2020 3rd Grade: lost by 8 runs @ Graham Reserve-9-223cc to 9-231cc (lost toss): The game was lost in the extras. RPC conceded 32 (24 wides) while Manly allowed only 4. Sadeep Deepak had the bowling figures with 3-46 off 10. In the run chase, Ross Elliot belted 79 opening with James Widerstrom hitting 50 at no. 8 with 3x4 and 3x6. It was a good start with 44 for the first wicket but thereafter, it was a steady fall. 4th Grade: lost by 62 runs @ Petersham–133 to 6-195cc (lost toss): Sending Manly in did not bring dividends and they posted a competitive score in their 50 overs. Dane Coombs did best with the ball taking 3-53 off 10. In response, Josh Segal was solid with 32 off 78b with 3x4. Next best was “extras” with 26. The side was all out in 40 overs. 5th Grade: lost by 2 wkts @ Mike Pawley–128 to 8-133 (lost toss): Sent in to bat, only Max Robinson with 30 and Alan Mathews with 31 made double figures in the first nine to be all out in 45 overs. In a bit of a fightback, Manly got there in 36 overs with two wickets to spare. Round 7 v UTS North Sydney (2 Day matches 1st & 2nds) A WHITEWASH-losses in all grades Sats. 28 Nov-5 Dec 2020 1st Grade: lost by 2 wkts @ Coogee–227 to 8-229 (WON toss): In brutal heat, Norths made early inroads to have the home side 7-69. But no. 9, skipper Daya Singh, came out and smashed a brilliant maiden century hitting 103 off 164 balls with 11 boundaries and two sixes. With partnerships of 68 for the 8th wicket; 73 for the ninth and 17 for the 10th, the last three wickets put on 158 to get to a competitive score of 227. Will Affleck made 54. In reply, Norths were 0-55 at stumps day 1 and took it to 0-84 day 2 before the first wicket was taken. RPC then proceeded to go through the bats taking 8-81 to have them reeling at 8-165. But that was the last of the good news as former Randy Pete, Mac Jenkins and the opening bowler Matt Alexander batted for 107 minutes putting on an unconquered 63 to get up and win. Riley Ayre took 3-49 off 19 overs and Adam Semple 3-56 off 24. 2nd Grade: lost by 130 runs @ Tunks–137 & 4-136 to 9-267d (lost toss): Batting on a hot day, Norths were rarely in trouble and while Ben Stares picked up 4 wickets (4-37 off 21) they were able to post a commanding total. Bating day 2, RPC were never in the hunt with Rob Montedoro making 26 at no. 6. However, the day’s excitement came in the form of 2nd Grade debutant James Wilderstrom who belted 71 off just 50 balls with 8 massive sixes and just 3 fours! Batting a second time, another 2nd Grade debutant, Reuben Sachs, made an impressive 54 off 97 balls with seven fours. Round 5 limited overs lower grades v Blacktown Mounties Sat 28 Nov 2020 3rd Grade: TIE @ Petersham–243 to 243 (lost toss): Blacktown batted first and knocked up a healthy total although they were dismissed in the 49th over. They had been 4-38 and 8-151 before a 9th wicket partnership produced 85 runs. Sadeep Deepak had them battling at 3-11 before finishing with 4-31 (9). At 4-144 in reply, the side looked likely to win its first match. Vivek Mahajan made an excellent 46 with 4x4. Lachlan Bird (28) and Akther Hussain put on 65 for the 7th wicket to get to 7-224.Two more wickets fell for 10 runs–9-234. With 7 to get off the last over, Scott Stirling was run out going for the winning run after 6 had been scored for an exciting tie! 4th Grade: lost by 137 runs @ Jim Hanshaw–106 to 5-243cc (lost toss): Blacktown batted first and were always in command stacking on a top score. That was always going to be hard to run down with a poor batting line-up which is the way it panned out. Connor O’Riordan with 25 was the best of the bats with 15 next best. 5th Grade: lost by 95 runs @ Kensington–142 to 5-237cc (WON toss): Winning the toss for the first time, Mounties were sent in. There were no early wickets with them eventually coming at 54, 97, 146, 154, 187 with the final partnership of 40*. In reply, Carly Leeson hit 22 off 18 balls and Corey Graham 28. Damian Sidney made 18 and that was it with the side all out in 39 overs. Round 6 limited overs lower grades v UTS North Sydney Sat 5 Dec 2020 3rd Grade: lost by 3 wkts @ Petersham–175 to 7-177 (lost toss): Sent in to bat, RPC made a solid start with 53 for the first wicket with Josh Segal making 28. But while Vivek Mahajan made a good 44, no-one else made 20 for the side to be al out for a disappointing 175. In reply, Norths lost their first 3 for 60, but at 7-150 the writing was on the wall as they coasted to victory in the 47th over. Akther Hussain took 3-33 (10). 4th Grade: lost by 115 runs @ Bon Andrews–113 to 8-228cc (lost toss): Norths batted first but struggled to be 5-69 against some keen bowling. But partnerships of 68, 45 and 44 rescued the side and a solid one-day total was posted. In response, Chintan Sapariya (21 off 81b) and Connor O’Riordan (24 off 41b 3x4) started well with a 62 run opening partnership. Both were gone at 2-64 but at 2-84, the last 8 wickets fell for 29 for a huge defeat. In the bowling, Harry Shultz (2-46 off 10) and Bilal Abbassi (2-57 off 10) had the best figures. 5th Grade: lost by 9 wkts @ Kensington–122 to 1-123 (lost toss): Sent in to bat, RPC was quickly in trouble and never recovered with wickets falling regularly. Only Gurukrishna Chandar made more than 19, scoring 33 off 53b with 2x4 and 1x6. In reply, Norths lost just one wicket (at 24) in polishing off the runs. A shocker Round 8 v Mosman (2 Day matches 1st & 2nds) Sats. 12-19 Dec 2020 1st Grade: DRAWN @ Coogee–0-0 to 371 (lost toss): DAY 2 CALLED OFF due to COVID-19 RESTRICTIONS. It was a leather chasing day in hot conditions. The first nine bats all got starts with 72, 69, 49 and 48 the best scores. They were shaky at 3-74 but partnerships of 78 and later 88, put paid to thoughts of a low score. With 2 overs to face we were 0-0 at stumps day 1. Caelan Maladay had best bowling with 3-90. 2nd Grade: DRAWN @ Tunks–224 to 1-79 (WON toss): DAY 2 CALLED OFF due to COVID-19 RESTRICTIONS. Not a good start with four of the top seven bats making 0.0,1 and 2. Josh Mellick made a solid 45 along with Rehan Anjum hitting 46. Star of the day was again James Wlderstrom who made a second 71 in his only two games in 2s. All out in 74 overs on a hot day was not a good score. In reply, the Whales were doing it easy at 1-79 off 19 by day 1 stumps. Round 7 limited overs lower grades v Bankstown Sat 12 Dec 2020 3rd Grade: lost by 84 runs (BONUS POINT conceded) @ Kelso Park North–76 to 160 (WON toss): Sending in Bankstown did not produce any dividend with the Bulldogs quickly racing to 1-84. A keen fightback saw the last 9 wickets fall for 76 with Mandar Mariguddi best, taking 3-37 (10). In reply, 12 by Ross Elliot was the top-score with 12 with the side all out for 76 in 30 overs. 4th Grade: lost by 8 wkts (BONUS POINT conceded) @ Petersham–142 to 2-143 (lost toss): Sent in to bat, at 3-88 a reasonable score was on the cards but the last 7 were lost for 54. Connor O’Riordan with 38 (56b 3x4 1x6) and Scott Stirling with 24* at no. 9 was next best. A poor score in just 44.4 overs. In the run chase, the Bulldogs polished off the runs in just 25.3 overs losing wickets at 77 and 131. 5th Grade: lost by 12 runs @ Grahame Thomas–167 to 179 (lost toss): The bowlers did well to knock them over inside 45 overs. Will Deller took 4-9 off 7.4 overs while Pratulya Kashyap took a terrific 5-35 off 10. Mitchell Winslade struggled going for 48 off 6. In reply, the side was in trouble at 4-53 before a partnership of 86 by Deller who made 64 (84b 8x4) and Fabian Heaton with 34 off 80. Both were gone at 6-158 needing 22 but after being 6-166 the last 4 fell for one run to lose a game they should have won.

Round 8 limited overs lower grades v Mosman Sat 19 Dec 2020 3rd Grade: DRAWN @ Petersham: No play due to COVID-19 restrictions 4th Grade: DRAWN @ Rawson: No play due to COVID-19 restrictions 5th Grade: DRAWN @ Kensington: No play due to COVID-19 restrictions Round 9 v Western Suburbs (Limited Overs matches) Sat.9 Jan 2021 1st Grade: WON by 139 runs @ Pratten–5-288cc to 149 (lost toss): See separate Limited Overs summary for full details. 2nd Grade: lost by 3 wkts @ Petersham–222 to 7-223 (lost toss): Sent in to bat, the side recovered to be 3-159 with Scott Sharma (92) and Rehan Anjum (39) in full flight. But both were gone at 5-171 with the latter half adding 51 to complete the full 50 overs. Wests were away to a solid start but excellent bowling by Sharma to grab 5-29 off 10 had them on the back foot until the winning runs were scored with a single ball remaining. 3rd Grade: lost by 6 wkts @ Punchbowl–152 to 4-153 (lost toss): Another side sent in to bat with Kel Mullins (44), James Mahony-Brack (29) and Sadeep Deepak belting 33 at no. 10 the contributors. The target was passed easily in the 45th over. 4th Grade: lost by 1 wkt @ Kensington–128 to 9-129 (WON toss): Joshua Segal with 40, Damian Sidney with 38 (incl 7x4 and 1x6) and Bilal Abbasi with 14, were the only bats to make double figures in another poor batting display to be all out in just 38 overs. Wests were in trouble at 3-11 and 5-55 in reply before a 49 runs partnership for the sixth got them to 6-104. Then 7-109; 8-119 and 9-124. But with the last pair at the wicket they snuck through to 129 with one ball to go after 49.5 overs. One that got away. 5th Grade: lost by 10 runs @ Blick–139 to 5-149cc (WON toss): Sending Wests in to bat proved beneficial with the bowlers keeping them to a below-par 149 after they were 1-112. Jack Braithwaite with 2-21 off 7 overs had the best figures. In the run chase, only Gurukrishna Chandar with 51 (3x4 3x6) and Chintan Sapariya with 23 made any impression with the bat. Round 10 v Gordon (Limited Overs matches) A WHITEWASH-losses in all grades Sat.16 Jan 2021 1st Grade: lost by 63 runs @ Coogee–235 to 6-298cc (lost toss): See separate Limited Overs summary for full details. 2nd Grade: lost by 5 wkts @ Chatswood–9-241cc to 5-244 (WON toss): A poor batting effort in perfect conditions saw the score quickly slump to 4-57 then 6-85 then 7-120. But a 95 runs partnership between Ben Montedoro who scored 86 off 71 balls with 11 fours and 2 sixes and Ash Burton with 50* off 48 with 8 fours, got the total to 8-215. At the end, 9-241 off the 50 overs was a competitive total. Wickets were hard to come by in the Gordon innings and at 1-149 victory looked a forlorn hope. A fightback to take 3-9 saw the score 5-212 with the overs ticking away. And while it was a real battle leading up to the completion of the 50 overs, they managed to hit the winning runs with three balls to spare. Skipper Liam O’Loughlin bowled well to take 3-27 off 10. 3rd Grade: lost by 30 runs @ Petersham–166 to 5-196cc: It looked a good decision at 4-57 to send in the Stags to bat but a 133 partnership for the 5th undid the good work and a formidable target was posted. At 4-38 in reply, the going was tough and while Vivek Mahajan with 33 and Tom Holland with 30, tried hard, they were always behind the eight-ball and went down accordingly. 4th Grade: lost by 5 wkts @ Killara–182 to 5-185 (WON toss): A good score looked on the cards at 2-149 with Connor O’Riordan in full flight. But he was gone for 85 (7x4 3x6) for a score-line of 4-153. As had been the case all season, the remainder quickly folded adding just another 29 runs to be all out in 49.4 overs. Eight wickets had fallen for 33. Gordon’s openers put on 81 for the first wicket and while they slumped to 5-140, the result was never in doubt, passing the target in 44.5 overs. 5th Grade: lost by 5 wkts @ Kensington–129 to 5-131 (lost toss): Sent in to bat, Gordon made early in-roads for a score-line of 5-30. Freddy Whalebone showed plenty of resolve, however, to make 48 while skipper Fabian Heaton hung-in to be unconquered on 31 when the final wicket fell off 45.1 overs. Green Shielder Alan Mathews struck twice early for a 2-15 start before the bats got on top to run down the target in just 33.4 overs. Young Mathews did well to finish with 4-24 off 8.4 overs—his best figures for the season. Round 11 v Sutherland (2 Day 1st Grade / LO lowers) Sat/Sun.23-24 Jan 2021 1st Grade: WON by 4 wkts @ Glenn McGrath–6-244 to 242 (lost toss): The run-out of former Randy Pete, Jarryd Biviano, for 88 at 0- 185 just before tea on Saturday, started an amazing collapse which saw the whole 10 Sutherland wickets fall for 57 runs. Left-arm spinner, Riley Ayre, was the star, finishing with 5-71 off a marathon 27 overs while right-arm offie, Ryan Ninan, took 2-63 off 19. Adam Semple was the other wicket-taker with 2-33 off 15. Wicket-keeper Anthony Sams completed four dismissals. Chasing 242, by stumps, we were a shaky 4-38. The Sunday heat helped take the score to 85 before Anthony Sams was lbw for 41 off 64 balls with 6 fours. Tim Affleck followed one run later for 25 and at 6-86, the Sharks were looking like victors. But Puru Gaur and Semple, got together in an unconquered 158 for the seventh wicket to take the match with a score of 6-244. Gaur finished with 61* off 125 balls with 3 fours and 3 sixes while his senior partner ended at 86* off 143 balls with 15 boundaries and one six. The partnership was only 15 runs short of the club record of 183 set by Anthony and Daniel Sams in 2014-15. 2nd Grade: WON by 6 runs @ Coogee–194 to 8-188cc (WON toss): A good start with 78 for the first wicket. But both Josh Mellick (39) and Adam Docos (44) were gone at 95 and skipper Eldridge at 96. A series of small partnerships followed with Scott Sharma (28) and Ben Montedoro (24) the best of a failing batting line-up. The final total of 194 didn’t look enough on a very hot day particularly with the Sharks at 3- 92. But a good effort by Montedoro with 4-32 off 10 and tight bowling all round, kept scoring to a minimum and when the 50 overs were up, the Sharks remained 6 runs in arrears. A good, determined win. 3rd Grade: WON by 122 runs (BONUS point) @ Sutherland–203 to 81 (WON toss): Batting first, it was a struggle at 3-40. Skipper Tom Holland with 49 got things going with the following four bats making runs in the 20s. The final tally of 203 looked competitive and proved to be more than that with the bowlers doing an outstanding job after they were 3-56 to be all out 25 runs later for 81 in just 27.1 overs to grab a bonus point. Bilal Abbasi with 5-20 off 8 was the star while Connor O’Riordan took 2-22 with the new ball for the team’s first win. 4th Grade: lost by 5 wkts @ Petersham–124 to 5-126 (lost toss): Sent in to bat, the side was quickly in trouble at 3-5 then 7-49. A late rally put on 75 for the last three wickets. Luca Lopes and Corey Graham each made 26 to top-score. There were four ducks and three others who made 7 or less. There was an early glimmer of hope with the Sharks 4-49, but a 62 partnership put the issue beyond doubt in just 36.2 overs. 5th Grade: WON by 5 runs @ Tonkin–7-192cc to 187 (WON toss): Batting first, we were in trouble at 4-24 before a magnificent 129 for the 5th wicket between Ben Chaplin with 78 and skipper Heaton with 52 steadied the ship and posted a competitive total. The Sharks were looking good at 2-115 before the bowlers got stuck in and knocked them over 5 runs short with 5 balls to go. Sriram Suresh c&b the last man for the win. Dane Coombs with 3-46 off 10 and Yogesh Wanzare with 2-26 off 7 did best while Jackson Dodd bowled well for 2-23 off 10.

Round 12 v Syd University (2 Day matches) Sats 30 Jan/6 Feb 2021 1st Grade: lost by 3 wkts @ Coogee–145 to 7-146 (lost toss): Sent in to bat in bowler-friendly conditions after two days rain, runs were at a premium. Only Riley Ayre made any headway with a superb 50 off 128 balls with 5 fours. He was the only one in the top six to make more than 8 runs. At 8-96, skipper Daya Singh and Jason Ralston got together and put on a valuable 43. Both were gone within the space of 6 runs for a total which was many more runs than looked likely. Singh finished with 37 off 73 with 5 fours. In the run-chase in brilliant sunshine, the students finished the day at 2-58. On day 2 in drizzly conditions, the hosts fought back to have Uni. 6-82 but a 49 runs partnership for the 7th swung the match away and the winning runs were scored after 58.3 overs. Jason Ralston bowled well for 3-41 off 11 with Adam Semple 2-45 off 20.3. 2nd Grade: lost by 94 runs @ University–192 to 9d-286 (WON toss): Sending in the students didn’t produce early wickets and at 1-126 RPC was under the pump. The bats continued the attack well into the second day despite drizzly weather to post a commanding total. Vivek Mahajan struck in mid-innings to take 4-37 off 10 while Mitch O’Loughlin bowled 25 overs in taking 2-85. In the run-chase with a couple of rain stoppages, it was a good effort to get to 1-103. Josh Mellick who had taken up the challenge got to 78 (11x4 1x6) but was bowled immediately after a rain resumption. Scott Sharma made a solid 38 but no-one else could get past skipper Eldridge’s 22. 3rd Grade: WON by 4 wkts @ Petersham–8-147 to 107 (WON toss): Excellent new-ball bowling had the students struggling at 5-20 after they were sent in to bat after a delayed start due to wet conditions. They didn’t recover and were all out in 57 overs for less than 2 runs an over. Alex Deller caused a quick break-through taking 2-29 off 12 while Akther Hussain had best figures with 3-28 off 15. In reply, it was 1-41 at stumps day 1. In drizzle on day 2 early wickets were lost to be 5-70. But Josh Segal and Kel Mulllins got the score to 6-100 before the winning runs were scored. Segal ended with 57 while opener Ross Elliot made a handy 21. A valuable win. 4th Grade: WON by 3 wkts @ St Paul’s–7-154 to 6-151d (WON toss): No play day 1 due to rain. Sending Uni. in on a drizzly day 2 brought early results at 2-10. A rally to 2-90 saw three wickets fall to be 5-99. And while only one more wicket was taken, Uni. declared after 31 overs, seemingly confident of a win–after all, they were the competition leaders and RPC was dead last. But the resolve which had been missing most of the season brought some contributions to enable the side to get to 4-109. Three wickets later at 7-122, it wasn’t looking good. But a determined Corey Graham (40* 4x4 & 2x6) with Dane Coombs (10*) hanging on grimly managed to score the necessary 30 to give the team its second win of the season. Skipper Liam O’Loughlin was best of the bowlers with 3-46 off 8 while Connor O’Riordan took 2-16 off 5. 5th Grade: lost by 59 runs @ Kensington–72 to 131 (WON toss): Again a match reduced to one-day. Good bowling kept Uni. to just 131 off 55.4 over with Alan Mathews (3-28 off 14.5) and Max Robinson (2-5 off 3) recording best figures. It was a shambles in reply with the side capitulating from the start to be out for 72 in 38.4 overs. A shocker. Round 13 v University of NSW (Scheduled 2 Day matches) Sats 13/20 Feb 2021 1st Grade: lost by 3 wkts @ David Phillips South–173 to 7-175 (WON toss): The match was reduced to a 60 overs LO fixture after the first day was washed out. Batting first under cloudy skies, the side was out for a below-par score of 173 in 48.1 overs. Top-scorer was number 9, Ryan Ninan, with 28*. Debutant Scott Sharma was next best with 23 while Matt Everett made 22 and Jason Sangha 20. Uni.’s five bowlers shared the wickets. In the run-chase, Uni. lost early wickets to be 2-18 but at 2-93 they were well on the way to victory. However, the game took a real turn when Ninan disposed of top-scorer Matthew Gilkes who made 65 from 53 balls with 5 sixes, and next man Isherwood first ball. Sangha and Jason Ralston quickly chipped in with wickets and at 6-118, it was anyone’s game. But former Randy Pete and Uni. skipper, Brandon McLean, showed plenty of fighting spirit and he was there at the end, unconquered on 23 off 58 balls, as the winning runs were hit in the 41st over. 2nd Grade: WON by 92 runs @ Petersham–257 to 165 (WON toss): A late start day 1 saw RPC bat well into day 2 with Adam Docos registering a maiden century with 112 (8x4 1x6). Ben Montedoro made a good 62 as the two put on 137 for the fifth wicket after being 4-48. All out after 68 overs, Uni. made a solid start to be 1-48. But it was the off-spin of Jacob Wood who took 6-64 off 21.5 overs having the last man caught in close with just one ball remaining. Fast bowlers Mitch O’Loughlin (2-63 off 17) and James Widerstrom (2-21 off 9) bowled well. 3rd Grade: lost by 11 runs @ David Phillips North–195 to 7-206d (WON toss): At 4-65 Uni. looked in trouble but a 92 runs partnership enabled them to post a competitive score although they batted for 77 overs. In the run chase, a good start at 1-69 quickly turned to 6-84 before a 65 runs partnership between Jack Lyle and Akther Hussain (26) got the score to 7-149. Lyle continued to attack but was dismissed for 81 off just 73 balls with 6x4 and 5x6 with 11 to get. Last man Alex Deller was injured and did not bat. James Mahony-Brack scored 53 off 61 opening. 4th Grade: lost by 2 wkts @ Coogee–181 to 8-182 (lost toss): It was a good effort in wet conditions to get to a competitive score. Ben Chaplin made 48 and Gurukishna Chandar 40. In reply, they were 2-9 overnight day 1 and quickly reduced to 6-86 day 2. But a partnership of 51 for the 7th and 38 for the 8th saw them pass the target 8 down in 63.4 overs. One that got away. 5th Grade: lost by 6 wkts @ Kensington–106 to 4-112 (lost toss): Sent in to bat, it was all downhill at 4-30 then 6-74 before ending at 106. Only Kel Mullins with 36 and Fabian Heaton with 29 made any impression. Uni. had little trouble in passing the target in 45.5 overs. Round 14 v Hawkesbury (2 Day matches) Sats 27 Feb/ 6 Mar 2021 1st Grade: WON by 5 wkts @ Coogee–9-209d to 132 & 5-179 (WON toss): Skipper Jason Sangha put the Hawks into bat after winning the toss. The bowlers duly responded, knocking them over for just 132 in 55 overs. Adam Semple took 4-23 with Daya Singh (2-24), Jason Ralston (2-17), Caelan Maladay (1-28) and Ryan Ninan (1-19) sharing the remainder. Sangha was 38* at stumps in a scoreline of 3-71, but was called to join the NSW Sheffield Shield side in its clash with South Australia in Adelaide. He was replaced by Jackson Eldridge who carried on the good work going on to top-score with a well-made 48 off 67 balls with four boundaries and a six. Semple added 34 with Singh belting 33 off 36 with two sixes to give the side a lead of 77. Looking for maximum points, the bowlers again got stuck in to have the visitors 4-101 before the shutters went up to finish 5-179 off 55 overs when time was called. The win elevated the side to 6th place from 10th after the four teams above all lost. 2nd Grade: lost by 84 runs @ Owen Earle––173 to 257 (WON toss): The decision to send in the Hawks brought early success with a scoreline of 5-56. But a partnership of 93 followed with another of 58 for the 7th. Jacob Wood was again in the wickets with 4-70 off 32.5 overs supported by Connor O’Riordan (2-52) and Mitch O’Loughlin with 2-62 off a marathon 25 overs. In the run-chase, it was a solid start at 1-77 but as has been the case all season, no-one went on with a big score and the final 9 wickets fell for 96. Scott Sharma top-scored with 43 while Josh Mellick made 39 and Ash Burton 38. 3rd Grade: WON by 124 runs @ Petersham–8-275d to 151 (WON toss): A solid 40 from James Mahony-Brack and a partnership of 93 between Josh Segal and Reuben Sachs (50) for the 3rd wicket and 80 for the 5th between Segal and Jack Lyle (52) set the scene for the team’s best score of the season and a record against Hawkesbury. Segal was unlucky to miss out on 100 when caught for 93. In Hawkesbury’s innings, bowling pressure never let them get a start to be all out in 57.4 overs. Mahony-Brack (3-21) and Mandar Mariguddi (3-42) returned best figures.

4th Grade: DRAWN @ Benson Lane 2–7-150 TO 222 (lost toss): The Hawks batted into the second day for a score of 222 off 86 overs. It was a good finish by the bowlers as they were 4-171–the last 6 wickets falling for 51. Liam O’Loughlin took 3-69 off 26 overs. It was a good run- chase at 2-89, but losing 5-27 saw the shutters go up. Max Robinson, on 4th Grade debut, made a solid 51 in the first 108 runs. Will Deller (23*) and Dale Hackney (18*) held on resolutely for a draw with an unconquered partnership of 34 for the 8th wicket. 5th Grade: WON by 4 wkts @ Kensington–8-149 to 117 (WON toss): A steady start of 0-46 by the Hawks after being sent in, was quickly turned around with an excellent spell by the bowlers to take all 10 wickets for 71. Rehan Anjum, who had played all his games in 2s, took 3-13 while Freddy Whalebone and Michael Wood each took 2-26. In reply. The target was passed 6 down with Fabian Heaton (37), Anjum (32) and Angus Beaumont (25) the main contributors. It was the team’s second win of the season. Round 15 v Sydney (LO matches) A WHITEWASH-losses in all grades Sat 13 March 2021 1st Grade: lost by 30 runs @ Drummoyne–9-231 to 4-261cc (WON toss): Sending the Tigers in to bat after a huge storm the night before, looked a good decision by skipper Jason Sangha. However, the wicket held few fears for the bats who attacked the bowling from the outset. Young quicks Jason Ralston and Caelan Maladay both struck with the score on 60 but 89 runs for the next wicket swayed the match Sydney’s way. Some big hitting near the end left a competitive target. In the run-chase, the side was on track at 1-124, despite the loss of Matt Everett. But disaster struck at that score with Will Affleck caught for 32 off 75 balls and a few balls later, Sangha and Anthony Sams caught in a mix-up which saw the skipper run out for 70 off 76. From 3-124 there was a further slump to 6-169 before a rally at the end by Riley Ayre (26 off 46), Daya Singh (20 off 16), Maladay (16* off 21) and Ralston (12* off 17) got the score to 9-231. 2nd Grade: lost by 5 wkts (BONUS POINT conceded) @ Coogee–117 to 5-118 (lost toss): Sent in after overnight storms, the side was soon in trouble at 4-24. Adan Docos was the rock scoring 44 off 65 balls in the first 61 runs. No-one else made more than 15 and it was all over in 34.1 overs. The Tigers didn’t have it all their own way at 5-60 giving the side a sniff. However, that was the last of the good news as they coasted to victory in 29.2 overs to gain a bonus point. Jacob Wood took 4-34 off 10 in an impressive display. 3rd Grade: lost by 8 runs @ Birchgrove–145 to 153 (WON toss): Sending in the Tigers proved successful with them struggling at 4-57. A 54 runs partnership put them back on track before the bowlers wrapped up the innings for a below-par 153. In the run chase, a good start saw the side well on the way for victory with Ross Eliot (41) and James Mahony-Brack (27) laying a solid foundation of 62. But the loss of 5 quick wickets saw the scoreline tumble to 5-97. Jaya Murdita hit three sixes in his 24 runs but the batting folded up 8 short after 46.2 overs. 4th Grade: lost by 34 runs @ Petersham–172 to 9-206cc (WON toss): Sending Sydney in to bat did not produce early rewards and at 3- 124, a big score was in the offing. But the bowling remained consistent and the final total was less than looked likely. Ben Stares took 3-37 (10) including the wicket of his brother Nathan who he bowled. Young Alan Mathews took 3-28 (6). In reply, an upset looked on the cards at 2-106 with 100 to get. But when Max Robinson went for 52 making his second half-century in two matches, there was little resistance thereafter. 5th Grade: lost by 5 wkts (BONUS POINT conceded) @ Ryde–131 to 5-132 (WON toss): Batting first, the side was quickly in trouble at 4-37. A solid 34 by Krish Patel in his second Grade game got the score to 80 but after he went, the remainder were wrapped up for a poor 131. Sydney came out blazing and although 8 bowlers were used, including skipper and wicket-keeper Fabian Heaton who took 2-11 off 2 overs, the target was passed in only 23.3 overs.

New records this season New partnership records -2nd Grade 3rd wicket: Ravin De Silva and skipper Jackson Eldridge came together at 2-26 in the round 3 clash with Bankstown at Coogee Oval. When Ravin was dismissed for 165, the sixth highest score in 2nd Grade for the club, he and Jackson (114) had put on 246 for the third wicket. The previous best was 168 by Richard Phillips and David Mitchell against St George in 2002-03—18 years ago. It was the also the second highest partnership for the 3rd wicket in the club’s 20 year history behind the 265 scored by Troy Brewster and David Townsend against Blacktown in 4th Grade in 2002-03. –Poidevin-Gray 6th wicket: Puru Gaur and wicket-keeper Lachlan Bird came together with the score a shaky 5-104 at Chatswood Oval playing Gordon in round 3 of the competition. The pair put on 121 in 75 minutes with Gaur making 115 off 134 balls with 9 fours and a six. Bird remained 51* off 63 balls with 5 fours. This broke the previous record of 69 established by Scott McGeachie and Neil Cohen in the club’s first season, 2001-02–20 years ago. Unfortunately, the final score of 6-225cc proved no hurdle for the Gordon bats who ran down the target in 40.5 overs without losing a wicket. Most runs and Best Batting Average in Poidevin-Gray Shield By scoring 367 runs in the six match competition, season debutant, Puru Gaur, became the new most runs record holder for the club in this competition. The previous best aggregate was 304 jointly held by Nicholas Stapleton (2011-12) and James Psarakis (2015-16). His average of 73.4 was also a new record surpassing the previous mark of 59.00 set by Matthew Taylor in 2004-05. Centuries in same innings For the fifth time in 20 years, two batsmen scored centuries in the same 2nd Grade innings. Playing Bankstown at Coogee Oval in round 3, Ravin De Silva made 165 off 253 balls with 14 fours and four sixes. It was his first ton in 2nds and his second for the club having made the current record high score of 155 in 3rd Grade in 2017-18. Jackson scored 114 off 230 balls with nine fours. It was his first century in 2s and in just his third game as captain. It was also his second for the club having hit 105* in 4th Grade in 2016- 17. And the final score of 7-379 was the highest against Bankstown since the team hit 7-389 in 2008-09. Youngest to score a century in 3rd Grade At 17 years and 42 days, Reuben Sachs became the second youngest Randwick Petersham bat to score a century in 3rd Grade when he made 108 against Fairfield-Liverpool at Petersham Oval in round 3. Reuben opened the batting and was eighth out in a score of 8-230. He scored an astonishing 108 off 108 balls in 190 minutes with 10 fours. The youngest century maker in 3rd Grade is Jack James who was 17 years 15 days when he hit 105* against University of NSW, also at Petersham, in 2016. Youngest to take 5 wickets or more in an innings in 1st Grade Last season, Caelan Maladay became the youngest bowler at 17 years and 294 days, to take 5 or more wickets in a 1st Grade innings when he took 5-15 against Bankstown at Coogee. This season, in round 5, he took 6-31 playing Penrith at Coogee, aged 18 years and 187 days to also become the third youngest to achieve the feat. Previous third youngest was Nathan Ellis at 19 years 188 days with 5-37 against Sydney University in 2014. Second T20 Hat-trick to Scott Coyte With the second ball of his second over in the round 1 1st Grade Twenty20 match against UTS North Sydney at Kensington Oval, Scott Coyte took a wicket. He then bowled the next bat and with the well-pitched following ball, had the new man plumb in front to give him a hat-trick. He finished with 4-18 off 3.5 overs. It was the second time Coyte had taken a hat-trick in a T20 match for Randwick Petersham having achieved the feat almost 10 years earlier against Hawkesbury at Coogee. Record number of wickets in Metropolitan Cup Charith De Silva became the highest wicket-taker in the history of the Metropolitan Cup in round 3. In his figures of 1-27 off 7 over, Neale Crawford took a catch at midwicket to hand Charith his 129th wicket in the competition, surpassing Adam Lee's tally of 128. Charith's 129 wickets have come across 146 matches at an average of 26.09, with a best of 5-26 against Blacktown in Round 15 of season 2018-19. He now has 136.

35 1st Grade Reportp Proudly sponsored by Lefand Group by Jason Sangha and Daya Singh, Co-Captains Position in Competitions: Belvidere Cup–10th (6 wins; 6 losses; 3 draws) Limited Overs–1st (6 wins; 1 loss; 1 draw) Twenty20 Cup–15th (1 win; 4 losses; 1 draw)

With another year done and dusted, 1st Grade walked away with more silverware. This year it was redemption from last season’s Limited Overs Grand Final, with a thrilling last over win in this season’s competition against Belvidere Cup winners, Sydney! Although missing out on the Belvidere finals was a bitter way to end our season, it was truly amazing to surprise every other team in the competition, by winning a second One-Day cup for Randwick Petersham and the first since 2011-12.

In every season there are always challenges, however the challenges faced this year were like no other. The word of the year “COVID”, had a negative impact on all, but it was a true testament of character to all the players, support staff and volunteers who worked tirelessly, on and off the field. In particular, we appreciate the hard work of Bill Anderson, Greg Small, John Stewart, every single volunteer in the canteen, the parents, Veena our scorer, the wives and girlfriends, and everyone who helped behind the scenes on game day or at training. Your help did not go unnoticed. We can’t thank you enough for everything you did for us.

It would’ve been a monumental effort to match last year’s performances as individuals and as a team, throughout all three formats. Unfortunately, we weren’t able to do so, but nonetheless there were still some significant performances from the players. Congratulations to those who had amazing individual performances and congratulations to all the debutants whose hard work earnt them a 1st Grade baggy. Key Highlights in the T20 Competition: Riley Ayre 140 runs @ 35 H.S. 64 and 6 wickets Scott Coyte 8 wickets B.B 4-18 including a hat-trick Economy Rates: Adam Semple 4.50, Ryan Ninan 6.46

There wasn’t much to write about in the T20 competition this season. After starting with a comfortable victory against UTS North Sydney, the Randy-Petes failed to win another game. A highlight was the return of Scott Coyte who managed to pick up a hat-trick against UTS North Sydney! Regardless of injuries and the unavailability of players, we were unable to find some solid form and consistency. Onto the next competition… Key Highlights in the Limited Overs Competition: Riley Ayre 299 runs @ 42.71 H.S. 106 Anthony Sams 287 runs H.S. 107 and 18 catches Adam Semple 182 runs @ 60.67 and 15 wickets @ 16.13 B.B. 5-21 Puru Gaur 92* v Western Suburbs Caelan Maladay 11 wickets @ 15.73 B.B. 6-31

The limited-overs competition has been dominated by us over the past two years making the Grand Final on both occasions. Finishing fifth on the table, we had our work cut out as we needed to win every single away-game to lift the trophy. Beating Bankstown at Bankstown, Manly at Manly, and Sydney at Drummoyne, we don’t think anyone can say we didn’t deserve that victory. One big reason for our success is that as individuals, we always backed ourselves to contribute to the team’s gain. There were several significant performances that go unnoticed in the team stats. such as quick-fire cameos with the bat, important wicket-taking spells, crucial run-outs, and our “death” bowling. Adam Semple (5-21) and Caelan Maladay (6-31) added another 5fa to their resume and were the pick of the bowlers. One of the best contributions would have to be Riley Ayre’s century in the Semi-Final against Manly. That set us up with a defendable total and was easily the most important innings of the season.

Going into the Grand Final, there was a lot more to gain for us this season after the heartbreaking loss in the 2019-20 campaign. Further motivation was found when a poll was sent out to all other 1st Grade captains the week leading up the Grand Final. The question was “Who do you believe will win the trophy?” Out of the 18 captains, 17 of them believed that Sydney would take home the chocolates! Our backs were against the wall and boy, did we love that! Once again, every player provided a key contribution and the support from all Randy Pete’s members was the key to coming back and winning such a tight game. A deserved victory for all and one of the best post-game celebrations ever! Key Season Highlights (Belvidere and combined stats): Riley Ayre 798 runs @ 42 plus 27 wickets B.B. 5-71 James Seymour 137* v Blacktown-Mounties Daya Singh 103 v UTS North Sydney Adam Semple 33 wickets @19.12 Anthony Sams 34 catches; 4 stumpings

Retaining the Belvidere Cup was always going to be a tough ask, with every team lifting to another level playing against us. Going into the last round game of the season, there was still an outside chance of us making the finals, but it was not to be, and we finished 10th. This was probably a good representation of where we were at. We played some great cricket along with some inconsistent cricket. Inconsistent is probably the theme of the Belvidere this year as the season was impacted not only by COVID, but also by a lot of rain. There were definitely many positives to take out of this year however, with some great contributions. It seems a decade ago that James Seymour came into our team at the start of the year from Victoria. Jimmy managed to score a bulk of runs in the few games he played and even notched up 137* before he had to make his way back home. We thank James for his contribution and congratulate him on gaining a Victorian State contract. There were a couple more centuries in the two- day competition with Daya (103) hitting his first for the club and Riley (108) hitting his first in 1st Grade. Riley also managed to pick up a 5fa, capping off a great season. We’ll be back to have another crack at the Belvidere!

Finally, we would love to thank every person in the Randwick Petersham family for their involvement and contribution to our great club. Your continuous support of the club and our 1st Grade team makes our role as captains, a lot easier, more enjoyable and very rewarding. We look forward to seeing you all next season.

How bloody great are we! We are the Randy Petes!

The Grand Final Skipper Jason Sangha won the toss and batted. It was then a series of handy partnerships of 26-41-30-16-32-47-37 on the way to a competitive total of 232–a good score in a Grand Final. Will Affleck (35 off 60); Jason Sangha (20 off 30); Anthony Sams (44 off 60); Tim Affleck (39 off 35) and Adam Semple, 44* off 49 with 3 fours and a huge six, were the main contributors. A highlight for Sydney was the dismissal of Daya Singh, Ryan Ninan and Caelan Maladay off successive balls by Harry Manenti in the final over for a hat-trick! In response, Sydney came out blazing and quickly raced to 0-87 before Ryan Felsch holed out after thrashing 68 off just 37 balls with 6 fours and 4 sixes. But from 1-118 after only 15 overs, four wickets fell for 13 to let us back in the match. At 5- 175 Sydney was back on top but the introduction of fast bowler Maladay, brought two wickets for two runs to put our nose in front. A 31 runs partnership swung the match back Sydney’s way before the eighth wicket fell at 208 with the final two following on 224 in the final over to give Randwick Petersham the premiership. Jason Ralston took 3-40 off 5.5 with Maladay 2-8 off 3. Star of the day was Anthony Sams who caught five and stumped another to complete six dismissals. With his 44 equal top-score in the Randwick Petersham innings, he deservedly took out the Michael Bevan Medal Man-of-the-Grand Final award.

Other Matches: Round 1 v Fairfield-Liverpool @ Petersham (WON toss) Sat 26 Sept 2020 WON by 58 runs: 6-255cc to 197 New opening bat James Seymour (26 off 52) looked good at the top of the order as he and Will Affleck (19) put on 48. But it was Anthony Sams who stole the show belting 107 off 98 with 4x4 and 7x6. Daya Singh threw the bat at the end hitting 39* off 16 with 5x4 and 2x6. In all, 12 sixes were hit. In reply, Sams took an early catch to give him the wicket-keeping record for the club with 364 1st Grade dismissals--one more than Andrew Millican. After being 2-10 the Lions put on 80 before Riley Ayre struck. Thereafter, there was a steady flow of wickets with the final 6 making just 49. Caelan Maladay with 2-27; Ryan Ninan with 2-28 and Daya Singh with 2-34 returned best figures while there were two run-outs. Round 2 v NDs @ Coogee (lost toss) Sat 7 Nov 2020 DRAWN: 2-157cc to 0-0 After heavy overnight rain and rolling storm clouds on Saturday, it didn’t look promising. And that’s the way it turned out with only 32 overs possible before the storm hit. Being sent in, James Seymour made the best of it with 64* off 78 balls (3x4; 2x6) assisted by Anthony Sams who made 43 (34b; 2x4; 3x6) and Will Affleck with 33 (57b; 4x4; 1x6). Round 3 v Penrith @ Coogee (WON toss) Sat 14 Nov 2020 WON by 12 runs: 9-244cc to 232 Having struggled with the bat to post a total of 9-244, Penrith were well on track to run it down at 5-226 with 19 to get off four overs. Then Caelan Maladay struck, taking 6-31 off 6.5 overs causing the Panthers to lose 5-6 and the game by 12 runs. Other stars were Riley Ayre with 57 off 79 balls; Tim Affleck with 55 off 80 (the pair put on 103 for the 4th wicket); Ryan Ninan with 32 off 25 including 2 sixes; skipper Daya Singh with 2-45 off 10 overs and Adam Semple, with 2-53 off 8 after taking a wicket first ball of the innings. Round 4 v Western Suburbs @ Pratten (lost toss) Sat 9 Jan 2021 WON by 139 runs: 5-288cc to 149 Sent in to bat after a rainy week, Will Affleck and Matt Everett, playing his first match of the season, put on 53 for the first wicket. Following Affleck’s dismissal for 11, Anthony Sams hit 2 fours and a six in an entertaining 26 off 22. Everett made an excellent 53 and was quickly followed by Tim Affleck for a 4-102 scoreline. But the combination of Riley Ayre and Puru Gaur, steadied the ship with an aggressive approach, which brought about the team’s second highest partnership of the season, belting 139 for the fifth wicket, before Ayre was bowled for 68 off 73 balls (6x4 2x6). Gaur continued the good work to end up 92* off just 75 balls with 5 fours and 5 massive sixes. Adam Semple thrashed 22* off just 9 balls with a four and 2 sixes. The final score included 23 fours and 10 sixes. The dream start to the New Year continued when the Randwick Petersham “iron warrior”, Adam Semple, took a wicket with his first and third balls to have the Magpies reeling at 2-0. Thereafter, it was a tough ask, ending with Wests all out in 37.1 overs for 149. Semple finished with 5-21 off 9 overs–his seventh “five-for” in a career tally of 365 1st Grade wickets. While the remaining five wickets were shared by four bowlers, one was taken by 1st Grade debutant James Widerstrom in his first over. He finished with 1-19 off 3 overs. Round 5 v Gordon @Coogee (lost toss) Sat 16 Jan 2021 LOST by 63 runs: 235to 6-298cc The Stags were away to a flyer in perfect conditions and aided by some missed chances, lost only three wickets in bringing up 200 before ending with 6-298. Best of the bowlers was Adam Semple with 3-47 off 10 overs while Jason Ralston took 2-37 off 7. Former Randy Pete, Dylan Hunter, who switched to Gordon this season, belted 90 off just 75 balls before he nicked one off Semple to ‘keeper Anthony Sams when 10 short of his ton. Hunter was also one of the stars for Gordon with the ball, taking two wickets in a spell when 4 wickets were lost for 12 runs after being 2- 83. At 6-95, a win looked a forlorn hope, but Semple and Tim Affleck got together in an 89 runs partnership for the seventh before Adam holed out for 57 off 40 balls with 6 fours and 2 sixes. Affleck ended with 45 off 68 while earlier, opening bat Matt Everett, had given the side a reasonable start with 41 off 68 balls hitting 6 fours. The side was all out in 48.5 overs but finished fifth in the competition t make the finals. Qualifying Final v Bankstown @ Bankstown (WON toss) Sun 7 Feb 2021 WON by 4 runs: 5-255 cc to 7-251 Batting first, the side began well with a 93 runs partnership–80 to Will Affleck off 118 balls with 5 fours and 4 sixes while Matt Everett belted 56 off 76 with six fours and a “Dorothy”. Jason Sangha hit a timely 29 off 41 while Anthony Sams hit two balls out of the oval in his 37 off just 27 balls. Adam Semple also chipped in with 29* off 19 after hitting the first ball he received into a nearby park drain. In the run chase, it looked like Bankstown would run down the target at 1-158 with plenty of overs left. But fast bowler, Jason Ralston, send down a couple of thunderbolts to take two quick wickets and open up the match. It was then a matter of tight bowling and enthusiastic fielding as the required run-rate increased as the overs passed. A big swing off the last ball failed to connect and the required six to win did not eventuate. Semple finished with 2-59 off 10; Ralston 2-37 off 7; and Ryan Ninan 1-26 off 10. Semi- Final v Manly-Warringah @ Manly (WON toss) Sun 14 Feb 2021 WON by 85 runs: 213 to 128 The feature of the win was the outstanding performance by left-hander, Riley Ayre, who scored 106 off just 115 balls with 11 fours and 2 sixes. He came to the crease at 3-38 with Matt Everett (7), Jason Sangha (9) and Anthony Sams (2), all back in the shed. But partnerships of 31 with Will Affleck (29); 39 with Puru Gaur (18); 54 with Daya Singh (12) and 39 with Ryan Ninan (11), emphasised the concentration of Ayre, who didn’t give a chance until he was caught with the score, 9-202. Caelan Maladay belted 12 off 4 balls to add the extras. In the run chase, the Waratahs got to 29 in quick time before Adam Semple disposed of both openers, caught at slip by skipper, Jason Sangha. The 2-37 score-line became 3-37 after Cameron Merchant was caught behind first ball. It was then the spin twins, Ayre (3-50 off 10 overs) and Ryan Ninan (3-18 off 10), who dried up the run-scoring and forced errors as the score-line tumbled to 6-70 then 8-96 before last man, Test spinner, Steve O’Keefe, was run-out with the total 128 in 37.4 overs. Semple finished with 3-25 off 8. A great win following a humiliating defeat earlier in the Belvidere Cup season.

Kingsgrove Sports 1st Grade Twenty20 Cup Competition

The 2020-21 Kingsgrove Sports T20 Cup competition was played between 11 October and 29 November 2020 with the Grand Final on 26 January 2021. The tournament was split into two “conferences” in Big Bash Sixers and Thunder aligned regions. Randwick Petersham formed part of the Sydney Sixers Conference. It was played as a separate competition and formed no part of the 1st Grade competition although points achieved, counted towards the Club Championship.

Summary of Competition Matches Round 1 v UTS North Sydney @ Kensington Sun 11 October 2020 (2.30 pm) LOST toss WON by 6 wkts 4-126 (18.4) to 122 (19.5) Norths won the toss and batted, but were quickly in trouble with both openers back in the pavilion and just 9 runs on the board. And while a partnership of 59 for the fifth wicket steadied the ship to be 4-100, the young bats couldn’t withstand the onslaught by the Randy Petes “old heads” as Scott Coyte (4-18 off 3.5 overs) and Adam Semple (3-15 off 4) had them all out for 122 off 19.5 overs. And while new bod, James Seymour, was lost with the score on 18, Anthony Sams (33 off 22 balls with 6x4) and anchor-man Will Affleck (48* off 47 with 4x4 and 1x6) soon had the score ticking over nicely at 2-61. Shaun Eaton (5) and Riley Ayre (12) went cheaply, but Adam Semple, playing his first game of the season, put the issue beyond doubt with a signature six and a four for a final scoreline of 4-126 off 18.4 overs. Round 2 v Easts @ Waverley Sun 25 October 2020 (10 am) Washed out MATCH DRAWN Round 4 v BYE Round 7 v Gordon @ Chatswood Sun 8 November 2020 (2.30 pm) LOST toss LOST by 57 runs: 9-125 (17.4) to 4-182cc Randy Pete from last season, Dylan Hunter, was the big gun for Gordon smashing 88 off 47 balls with 7x4 and 6x6. The opener Crawford also belted 34 off 16 to give the Stags a very competitive total. Jason Ralston (2-29 off 4) and Riley Ayre (2-48 off 4) did best with the ball. In the run- chase, the top three were gone with 19 on the board. Ayre gave the side some hope with 64 off 37 (6x4; 3x6) but only Tim Affleck with 20 off 18 (3x4) could make any headway. One of the team’s worst-ever losses in a competition it has dominated over the years. Round 8 v Mosman @ Allan Border Sun 22 November 2020 (2.30 pm) WON toss LOST by 7 wkts: 8-129cc to 3-132 (19.2) Batting first, it was a struggle to post runs against a persistent attack. At 5-70 the side had it all to do. Anthony Sams and Puru Gaur got things going but Sams was gone at 6-103 for 48 (41b 3x4). Gaur continued the fight but went for 33 (25b 4x4) at 7-121. Rav De Silva was out off the last ball for a below-par score. Riley Ayre bowled the opener third ball in reply, but an 80 runs partnership then another of 47, put the issue beyond doubt with the bowlers unable to penetrate. Round 9 v Sydney @ Coogee Sun 29 November 2020 (10 am) WON toss LOST by 69 runs: 137 (17.5) to 4-206cc In sweltering and gale-like conditions despite the early start, Sydney were asked to bat first. Unfortunately for the home side, a quick breakthrough was not forthcoming as the Sydney bats laid into the attack. When the second wicket fell at 74, six sixes had been hit. Another seven followed with 26 runs coming off the 16th over bowled by Caelan Maladay. No bowler was spared with Scott Coyte ending best with 2-46 off 4 overs. Ryan Ninan was the only other wicket-taker with 1-32 off 4. It was a positive run-chase with Shaun Eaton belting 32 off 16 with 3x4 and 3x6. But when he went at 2-48, only Riley Ayre with 37*, stood tall in a disappointing end with the last 7 wickets falling for 55. Round 10 v Sutherland @ Coogee Sun 29 November 2020 (2.30 pm) WON toss LOST by 4 runs: 7-121cc to 8-125 (19.5) Batting first in 40 degree heat was a good option but Shaun Eaton was out first ball. Puru Gaur (20) and Riley Ayre (16) got the score to 4-45 but it took Scott Coyte with 27 (21b 2x4) and Will Affleck 26* (36b 2x4) to get to 5-94 as overs were running out. A flurry at the end saw a below-par final total of 121. In reply, the bowlers struck early and the Sharks were in trouble at 5-18. A 62 run partnership threatened to undo the good work before a wicket for a 6-80 score-line. Another to make it 7-103 but the next wicket came with the scores level and two balls to go. Big Bash star Ben Dwarshuis (58* off 45b) then hit a four and it was all over with a ball to spare to end the T20 season for Randwick Petersham.

Randwick Petersham Dual Medallists

Prior to the 2020-21 NSW Premier season most thoughts were turned towards how COVID would affect the season. Thankfully, the competition began on schedule for 1st and 2nd Grade.

For Randwick Petersham 1st Grade, the defending Belvidere Cup Premiers, a unique feat was achieved in Round 1 when William Affleck and James Seymour strode onto Petersham Oval to open the innings against Fairfield- Liverpool.

In 2019-20, Affleck joined the Randy Petes from Parramatta and made an immediate impact from ball one with his first scoring shot an almighty six at Coogee. His run-scoring feats continued and by summer’s end had amassed 715 runs at 51.07 and a highest score of 118* in a watershed season. In a similar vein, Seymour was plundering runs for Essendon in Victorian Premier Cricket with a total of 789 at 39.4 and a top score of 90.

By season's end, both were recognised in their respective Premier Cricket competitions – Affleck with The O’Reilly Medal and Seymour with The Jack Ryder Medal. James Seymour (left) and William Affleck

Surely, it is unique in Premier Cricket that the following season, the respective medallists from separate states represent the same team! To add to the quirkiness, both are opening bats and left handers. Furthermore, both were not sole medal winners with Affleck part of a four-way tie (the first ever) and Seymour a tie.

Prior to the first round of the Kingsgrove Sports T20, both players were interviewed regarding their objectives for the 2020-21 season as well as their reflections on the previous season 2019-20.

Seymour highlighted that “It’s a real honour to win the Ryder Medal. It’s obviously a difficult time for all clubs with COVID in Melbourne and not to have been able to enjoy that success with everyone at Essendon CC, as it’s not just my own achievement but the volunteers, committee, coaches, and players who have helped me excel. I’m really thankful for Randwick Petersham CC giving me the opportunity to come and play in Sydney. I’m really looking to enjoy the new challenge and try to learn and improve as much as I can during my time here.”

Affleck echoed Seymour’s sentiments “Being awarded the O’Reilly Medal is really special. I think of the man the award is named after, the many great players that my name is now amongst, sharing this honour with and I am proud to have received this award. It’s also special, and a proud moment, to have played my part in the Randy Petes first-ever Belvidere Cup win alongside my teammates.”

*In 1988 the Herald Cricket Award was renamed the O’Reilly Medal and has been presented since 1967-68 while the Jack Ryder Medal was first awarded in 1972-73, recognising the Best Players of the Season in NSW and Victorian Premier Cricket First Grade.

10 Year Replay

Scott Coyte takes a second hat-trick, a decade after his first

With Adam Semple unable to play regularly in 2020-21 due to family commitments, the call went out to Scott Coyte to fill the void. A Randwick Petersham 1st Grade captain and successful NSW cricketer 10 years earlier, the all-rounder heeded the plea from Bill Anderson, despite being in semi-retirement, playing park cricket the previous three years. And the right-hand medium pacer showed he had lost little of his ability and guile in the handful of matches he played.

After two limited overs matches, Coyte played the first of the Twenty 20 competition rounds against UTS North Sydney at Kensington Oval with sensational results. Brought on to bowl with the score 4-46 and the fifth bowler used, he had top-scorer Brent Atherton well caught by Shaun Eaton for 59 with the second ball of his second over. He bowled former Randy Pete Jack James next ball and with the next, rapped another former Randy Pete, Mac Jenkins, on the pads plumb in front for a brilliant hat-trick! His effort caused Norths’ score to slump from 5-108 to 8-108. He then went on to claim the last wicket, giving him figures of 4-18 off 3.5 overs after having 0-11 off eight balls. Randwick Petersham won the match comfortably.

A feature of Scott’s performance was that it was just 40 days short of 10 years since he did the same thing at Coogee against Hawkesbury, also in a Twenty 20 match. On that occasion, he reduced the Hawks from 6-121 to all out 124 in the space of a few minutes. His final six balls brought four wickets including batsmen bowled, caught behind and bowled in three successive deliveries. His fourth wicket came three balls later to give him figures of 4-16. It was an historic moment as it was Randwick Petersham’s first hat-trick in 1st Grade.

An interesting sidelight of this season’s hat-trick was that Scott bowled while wearing his cap! Shades of Clarrie Grimmett!

Hat-tricks seem to have been a characteristic of Scott Coyte’s cricket career. In 2010-11, the same season he took the Hawkesbury hat-trick, he performed the feat on the first-class cricket stage. Playing for NSW in a Sheffield Shield match against Queensland at the ‘Gabba, he knocked over the last two in the Bulls’ first innings, then with his first ball in the second dig had Lee Carseldine well caught by Peter Forrest to give him an unusual innings-separated hat-trick! (Students of the game will recall that Merv Hughes did the same in a Test match against the West Indies in Perth in 1988-89). The amazing thing about Scott’s hat-trick was that just a few days earlier in a Ryobi Cup match against the Bulls at the same venue, he took three wickets in four balls in his second over then watched in dismay as the first ball of his next over produced an edge but was dropped by ‘keeper Peter Nevill which would have given him a hat-trick and four wickets in five balls!

46 Debutant hat-trick Another historic moment for Randwick Petersham Cricket

It was a “first” for the club when three local juniors made their 1st Grade debut together this season. Mitchell O’Loughlin (19), Ravin De Silva (22) and Jackson Eldridge (22) had progressed through every lower grade, age competition and Metro Cup competition with the club before stepping out in 1st Grade against Manly-Warringah at Manly Oval in round 6. It was a proud moment, not just for each player, but also for the club which had nurtured their development since they first donned a Randwick Petersham Metro Cup and A W Green Shield cap some seasons earlier.

Prior to their selection, Ravin and Jackson had combined in a new 2nd Grade third wicket partnership of 246 playing Bankstown at Coogee Oval. Jackson, the new skipper of the side, made his second club century, peeling off 114 while Rav smashed the attack for a brilliant 168–his highest score since setting the 3rd Grade record of 155 in 2017-18. Rising fast bowler Mitchell’s call into the side was also timely as he taken wickets in every innings he bowled leading up to the awarding of his Baggy Green 1st Grade cap.

And while it wasn’t a match where the team rose to any great heights, coming up against an in-form Manly side containing some notable representatives, it was clear the three debutants were entitled to their selection, showing enough talent to indicate a rosy future in the top grade in the seasons ahead. A Dream Start While the debut of the three local juniors was a magic moment for them and the club, there was some special significance attached to the selection of Mitchell O’Loughlin. He was the grandson of John O’Loughlin, one of the champions of the old Randwick club, who made his 1st Grade debut some 72 years earlier.

And what a debut it was! Mitch came on fourth change, bowling a good line and opening with a maiden. Brought back into the attack towards the end of play, he bowled two of Manly’s finest with successive balls but narrowly missed the hat-trick when an appeal against the new bat was turned down, being ruled an inside-edge onto the pad. Mitch completed his first match in the big time with an impressive 2-24 off seven overs including two maidens.

Grand-father John played between 1943 and 1972 as a high-order right-hand bat and part-time leg-spin bowler. He was Randwick’s fifth highest run-getter in its 101 years, scoring 8,313 runs with five centuries including 6,662 in 2nd Grade and 693 in 1st Grade. He made his 1st Grade debut on 12 December 1948 against North Sydney at Coogee. John was a long-serving 2nd Grade captain while his lovely wife, Josie, was as familiar a face as he was at Coogee Oval, helping out with afternoon tea.

Mitchell had already created club history when he took the field in 5th Grade on 3 December 2016, becoming the third generation of O’Loughlin’s to play for Randwick/Randwick Petersham. While there have been many father, son and other family combinations throughout the history of NSW Premier Cricket, there have surprisingly, been very few instances where players from three generations have participated in the competition–and even more rare when playing for the same club. Mitchell’s dad, Paul, was a handy lower-grade off-spinner and capable bat for Randwick in the late 1970s and is currently the Randwick Petersham Assistant CEO. And to add to the O’Loughlin cricketing story, Mitchell’s elder brother Liam, a right-arm orthodox spin bowler, is following in his grandfather’s captaincy footsteps as the captain of the club’s 4th Grade team. First wicket in 1st Grade for Mitchell O'Loughlin

While the reality is that John and Josie O’Loughlin weren’t physically present at Manly Oval that November Saturday, there is no doubt that they were there in spirit, watching intently from the great cricket grandstand in the sky. It was a dream of John’s that his grandsons would one-day follow in his footsteps, proving the point that sometimes, dreams do come true.

47 The Pride of the Baggy Green

To recognise the achievement of players selected in the Randwick Petersham 1st XI, the club introduced a capping system in 2001-02, its first season. A player who plays in the 1st Grade team is presented with a Randwick Petersham “Baggy Green” cap bearing the club’s logo and becomes listed as a “capped” player. The player is also allocated a sequential number that is displayed on his playing shirt. Numbers are allocated in order of selection although when two or more players are selected at the same time, the allocation is in surname alphabetical order. Players retain the number they are allocated for all time. The last number allocated will also reflect the total number of players to play in the club’s 1st Grade team. A total of 140 have now played in the 1st XI since the club’s creation 20 years ago. This season eight players made their debut as 1st graders with Randwick Petersham. Each was presented with his cap by an official or representative of the club before the start of play in their first match in the top grade. The capped players for 2020-21 are:

No. 133 Timothy Affleck born 2 August 1989 (aged 31): Tim played in the club’s 2nd Grade team in 2019-20 and earned his promotion with some outstanding performances with both bat and ball. A brother of Will Affleck, he made his debut with Randwick Petersham in round 1 against Fairfield-Liverpool at Petersham Oval in a limited overs match. He had little opportunity batting at no 6, scoring 12 off 20 balls with one six.

No. 134 Puru Gaur born 1 December 1999 (aged 20): An opening bat, Puru joined us from the Newcastle club Western Suburbs where he played last season having arrived in Australia from India. He made his debut with Randwick Petersham in round 1 against Fairfield-Liverpool at Petersham Oval in a limited overs match. He had a much restricted opportunity, batting at no 8 scoring 9 off 6 balls with one six.

No. 135 James Seymour born 13 March 1992 (aged 28): A left-hand opening bat, James joined the club from Essendon CC, Melbourne, where he scored 789 runs last season. He made his debut with Randwick Petersham in round 1 against Fairfield-Liverpool at Petersham Oval in a limited overs match. He opened the batting with Will Affleck and the pair put on 48 for the first wicket. James made 26 off 52 balls with a four and a six. By season’s end he had returned home and was in the Victorian Sheffield Shield team.

No. 136 Ravin De Silva born 26 November 1997 (aged 22): A right-hand bat, Ravin came in with the side in trouble at 6-88 in the round 6 match against Manly at Manly Oval. With the team in the middle of a batting collapse losing 8-26, he had little opportunity finishing 1* off 10 balls in 22 minutes in the team’s record low score playing Manly of just 98. In the second innings, Rav was caught in close for 4 off 30 balls after hitting an early boundary, in a team total of 7-192.

No. 137 Jackson Eldridge born 31 December 1997 (aged 22): Right-hander Jackson came in to bat with the score 4-74 in the round 6 match against Manly at Manly Oval. His first ball was from former Australian and NSW left- arm spinner, Steve O’Keeffe. He took a single off his sixth ball but didn’t make a second until his 35th. He was caught at slip off O’Keeffe in a 50 minute stay making 2 from 37 balls. In the second innings, Jackson was caught in close for 7 off 28 balls with one four in a team total of 7-192.

No. 138 Mitchell O’Loughlin born 23 November 2000 (aged 19): Right-arm pace bowler, Mitchell came on fourth change in his debut match in round 6 against Manly at Manly Oval. He bowled a good line, opening with a maiden. Brought back into the attack towards the end of play, he bowled batsmen Ollie Davies and Elliot Herd with successive balls. While he missed out on a hat-trick against Ahillen Beadle, he completed the innings with 2-24 off 7 overs with 2 maidens. With the bat, he was last man in, making 2 in a poor score of 98. Mitchell did not bat in the second innings of 7-192.

No. 139 James Widerstrom born 8 August 1990 (aged 30): After debuting in 2nd Grade two matches earlier and hitting a whirlwind 71 in that and the following round, James made his 1st Grade debut against Western Suburbs at Pratten Park. Although not required to bat in the team’s innings of 5-288cc, he took a wicket in his first over.

No. 140 Scott Sharma born 6 July 1988 (aged 32): Scott made his debut in round 13 against University of NSW at David Phillips South. He batted no 8 with the side struggling at 6-94. With opening bowler Daya Singh, the pair put on 37 for the seventh wicket with Scott making an invaluable 23 off 35 balls with a four and a six in a total of 173 which wasn’t enough to take the match.

49 Daniel Sams re-writes Australia’s record books!!

Many of us who watched Daniel Sams develop over the past few years, always felt he had the capacity and the talent to play at a higher level. And that inkling became reality this season in a big way–an Australian cap!

Within a month of returning from the COVID-delayed 2020 Indian Premier League where he played three matches for Delhi Capitals, Dan was selected to play for Australia in a T20 match against India in Sydney. His selection was hot on the heels of his outstanding performance in the previous year’s Big Bash competition where he was the leading wicket-taker. Selectors had also shown their hand by including him in the 21 player touring party to England in September 2020 for a short T20 and Limited Overs series. And while Dan didn’t get to play in any match on that tour, it was clear national selectors had their eye on him as a candidate for the T20 World Cup, scheduled later in 2021. And they’re decision to present him with an Australian cap paid quick dividends with Dan having the Indian champion and skipper Virat Kohli caught behind for 40 in his second over. A dream debut for the young all-rounder in front of his home crowd!

A few days later he was opening the bowling for Sydney Thunder in the Big Bash and named as Player of the Match in the second game against Brisbane Heat in Canberra. After taking 2-32 he then pulverised the attack by belting 65* off 25 balls with three fours and seven mighty sixes at a strike rate of 260 to win the match. He and Ben Cutting put on 69 off 6.4 overs for the sixth wicket. But a few weeks into the tournament he suffered a concussion and a bad hand injury which put him out for three games. He returned in the Final again playing the Heat in Canberra, but after bowling opener Joe Denly for a duck, he wasn’t able to produce his earlier form as the Thunder went down in the final over. For the second successive season however, Sams was named in the BBL Team of the Tournament.

A T20 tour of New Zealand was undertaken a few weeks later and Dan was named in the Australian team. Yet the thrill of that announcement was overshadowed by some outstanding performances which followed. In the first match at Christchurch, Dan opened the bowling and dismissed world-class bats Martin Guptill for a duck and skipper Kane Williamson for 12 to have the Black Caps reeling at 3-19. Sams finished with 2-40 after having 2-10 although the match was lost.

It was a similar result next game in Dunedin but not before Dan had his name etched in the record books. Chasing a huge 220 runs target, Sams and Marcus Stoinis came together with the score a shaky 6-113. But the pair almost carried Australia to victory with a record stand of 92 from just 37 balls to miss by only four runs. The pair’s performance was the best in T20 Internationals, beating the previous seventh-wicket partnership record of 91 by England’s Paul Collingwood and Michael Yardy against West Indies at The Oval in 2007—13 years earlier. The Australian record was 74 by Mike Hussey and Steve Smith against Bangladesh in the 2010 World Cup. Stoinis hit 78 from 37 balls with seven fours and five sixes while Dan smashed 41 off just 15 balls with two fours and four sixes at a strike rate of 273.33 in a mesmerising performance. Their efforts may have resulted in a brilliant win had not a crushing straight drive from Sams struck the slow eluding umpire, costing the side four runs!

Because of the COVID epidemic requiring travellers to quarantine for 14 days when returning to Australia, Dan was not able to play club cricket and for the whole of the 2020-21 season did not turn out in Randwick Petersham colors. He did manage however, to play for NSW near season’s end in the Limited Overs domestic Marsh Cup competition. And while he only played one game taking just one wicket, he did not look out of place as support for the Test bowling quartet of Mitchell Starc, Josh Hazlewood, Pat Cummins and Nathan Lyons.

Notwithstanding it was a watershed season for the talented all-rounder, it had a disastrous ending. Winning a place with Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in the 2021 IPL, Dan was placed in isolation shortly after arrival in India following a positive COVID-19 test. Strangely, he originally tested negative on arrival but proved positive in a second test despite showing no symptoms. He managed however, to play two matches for RCB near the end of April 2021 taking the wicket of the classic Chris Gayle in Ahmedabad. However, with the pandemic taking hold in India, the remainder of the tournament was postponed soon after.

Upon his return to Australia some weeks later amid great controversy concerning travellers from India, Cricket Australia announced a touring team to play a series of ODIs and T20 matches in the West Indies in July 2021. Dan was not available for the tour.

50 David Warner

Having taken all before him in 2019-20, including a record Test score of 335* and a second Allan Border Medal, the stage was set for a continuation of the superlatives that regularly described the cricketing deeds of David Andrew Warner. That was particularly so after another successful stint in the Indian Premier League where he passed 500 runs in the tournament for the sixth time in the past seven seasons playing with Sunrisers Hyderabad. He also passed the 500 boundaries milestone last season. However, a crippling injury early in the Australian season put paid to those aspirations.

In the second ODI against India in Sydney in November 2020 and after having knocked up 83 off 77 balls in an opening stand of 142 with skipper Aaron Finch, Warner clutched his upper leg immediately after tumbling over in pursuit of the ball in the fourth over of India's run chase. The resultant groin injury put him on the sidelines for six weeks, missing the first two Test matches.

He returned to the side for the Third Test at Sydney in the New Year but clearly he was suffering discomfort and was restricted in his movements. He made just five and 13 in that match although he appeared to be improving in the following at Brisbane where he scored a solid 48 off 75 balls.

Off the scene for six weeks, Warner resumed for NSW playing Sheffield Shield and the one-day Limited Overs domestic competition, the Marsh Cup. He indicated a return to peak fitness in the Marsh Cup match against Tasmania at Hobart when he led the charge with 108 off 115 balls at a strike rate of 93.91 to chase down the target of 258. He followed up with a dashing 87 off just 74 balls at a strike rate of 117.56 playing South Australia in Adelaide. That win put NSW in the Grand Final in which they defeated Western Australia to take out the competition. The late scheduling of that match due to COVID restrictions did not enable Warner to play, as he was on the way to India for the IPL along with many other local participants. And despite his limited availability, he was named the Marsh Cup Player of the Season jointly with Tasmania’s spin bowler, Tom Andrews.

David Warner’s Australian record stands at 7,311 runs in 86 Tests with 24 centuries and 30 fifties at an average of 48.09. He has also scored 5,455 runs in 128 ODIs with 18 centuries and 23 fifties at an average of 45.45. In Twenty20s he has made 2,265 runs at 31.45 with one century and 18 fifties from 81 matches. His tally in all three formats is 15,031 runs at 43.69 with 43 centuries and 71 fifties. His highest score is 335*.

Jason Sangha In a hugely disrupted season for Jason, he finished strongly in the way he knows best–putting runs on the board. And he did that in impressive fashion, scoring his third first-class century and second for NSW with a timely 103 against eventual Sheffield Shield champions Queensland at North Dalton Park, Wollongong. It was just his 11th cricket match for the summer principally brought about by COVID restrictions not allowing him to play outside the “bubble” during the whole of the Big Bash League. While he was a member of the Sydney Thunder squad he did not play a game in the two months of the tournament.

He began the season in scintillating form, hitting 95 off 167 balls against Blacktown Mounties at Petersham Oval in the second club round. A Sheffield Shield appearance against Western Australia immediately followed but his next match was not until the Qualifying Final of the NSW Premier Cricket Limited Overs Cup on 7 February–nearly four months later. It was a frustrating blow for the talented youngster although his return to Randwick Petersham ended in cheers as he led the side to the Limited Overs Cup premiership a fortnight later.

Completing his club season with 281 runs in just seven innings at 46.80, Jason was called up by the State selectors for the final three Sheffield Shield matches and one in the limited-overs Marsh Cup competition. His final game for the summer was in the Sheffield Shield Grand Final against Queensland at Brisbane where he made 20 and 14 in a losing encounter.

Position in Competition: 18th by Jackson Eldridge, Captain 3 wins; 10 losses; 2 draws

Before I begin I would like to thank everyone who in a small way, or large, assisted not only 2nd Grade, but the wider club in the running of all operations throughout the season. Without multiple volunteers giving up hours a week, none of us would enjoy our Saturdays in the sun, so on behalf of the side I want to thank you all. Additionally, further gratitude to Paul O’Loughlin, Stan Beal, Antony Sachs, Michael Wood and Eddie Otto who were ever present for both our home and away fixtures.

Season 2020-21 is one, very much, categorised by lessons learnt. Some agonisingly close losses were punctuated by poor displays in a winnable situation, but ultimately very symptomatic of the inexperienced and relatively young age of the majority of the 2nd Grade representatives throughout the year. As such, our final position of 18th was not an indication of the lack of talent or potential in the team, but more of the inexperience and immaturity in a young side, one which will only improve, not only in coming seasons, but season 2021-22.

We began the year with back-to-back games at Kensington Oval, and for those who have played there in September, it can be quite difficult, to say the least. Going down by three runs in Round 1 to Fairfield and five runs to Blacktown in Round 2 left the team simultaneously heartbroken, but buoyed by the close results, including fifties to Josh Mellick, Adam Docos and Scott Sharma, who’s 79* against Blacktown almost dragged us over the line – even if he almost cost himself a healthy bill at the mechanic after a monster six went a bit too close for his comfort. Round 3 saw the team make its way to Coogee for the first time in the season and was highlighted by a 246 run partnership between Ravin de Silva (165) and Jackson Eldridge (114) in what was an all-time record for Randwick-Petersham in 2nd Grade. After posting 379 on day one of the two day fixture and having our opponents Bankstown, 4-79 at lunch, we were forced to sit through five hours of unrelenting rain. The resultant draw after being in such a dominant position was perhaps, symptomatic of our season at large.

The less said about round four would be best, however a terrific Round five win against traditional heavyweights Penrith at Howell Oval brought about some metaphorical wind in the sails heading towards Christmas. However, we went into Christmas with only one win and a long way from finals contention.

Returning after Christmas, we suffered two consecutive defeats to Wests and Gordon in the final over of one-day fixtures, nonetheless highlighted by a terrific all-round performance by Scott Sharma against Wests with 92 and a five wicket haul, and 86 by Ben Montedoro against Gordon, striking at over 120.

Besides a thrilling win over UNSW in Round 13 after having the first day washed out, the back end of the season was on the whole, poor. A shining light, however, was Jacob Wood bowling hand grenades in the back end of the year, to take his season wicket tally to 20 in 2nd Grade from only six games.

As we head into a new season, flashes of brilliance through the year need to replicated across the full 15 rounds. These are things that come down to the individual and that we as a club look to instil in the younger players coming through. If we can improve our individual attitudes towards each other and the game, it will go a long way to not only achieving better results in 2nd Grade, but across the entire club. 2nd Grade BEST PARTNERSHIPS

3rd Grade Reportp Proudly sponsored by Petersham RSL Position in Competition: 18th by Tom Holland, Captain Results: 3 wins; 1 tie; 10 losses; 1 draw Toss: 8 wins; 7 losses

It was a tough season for RPCC 3rd Grade, as it was for most teams. With player departures and injuries throughout the season, a lot of players ended up playing a grade above where they probably should have; however, it also afforded chances to younger players to experience the higher grades and get a taste of where they should be aiming in the future. Whilst the record books show a very poor season with three wins, a tie and 10 losses, the team was far more competitive than the stats indicate. In the majority of games, we played ourselves into a dominant position only to let the opposition back in and let the game slip at the end, with six of our 10 losses being by 15 runs or less, or after having the opposition 8 or 9 wickets down with only a handful of overs remaining. A lot of these close games came up against the top teams as well.

Aside from the tie in round 5, it took us until round 11 against Sutherland to register a win and to put a complete game together in batting, bowling and fielding. The team had threatened with glimpses of this potential in every game played throughout the rounds preceding; however, to put all the moving parts together to complete a game, was just out of our reach on most occasions.

A common issue across these games, however, was our fielding, with lacklustre efforts and dropped catches making our job that extra bit difficult, together with the bowling of too many wides and no balls. Encouragingly, the team was able to pass 200 on multiple occasions throughout the year, a great improvement on previous seasons and a point that shows great promise in this young side. It is my opinion that when the players train more effectively on the specific areas of their respective games, we will get the best out of each of them and perform to a higher standard. This effectiveness at training is something we need to continue to work towards as individual players and as a club.

Some of the highlights as a captain for me this year was being able to witness the younger guys coming through to find their feet and produce big performances, showcasing their ability to solidify their spot and look to dominate in the grade and push for higher honours. A couple of these include: x Reuben Sachs’ 108 in round 3 against Fairfield-Liverpool. It was a gem of an innings to watch and he rightfully made his push into 2nd Grade in the subsequent round. The only thing more entertaining was how stressed out his dad Antony Sachs was, as he scored the innings. x Josh Segal’s 95 in round 14 against Hawkesbury showed maturity beyond his years in opening the batting and being the rock of the innings. Unfortunate to miss out on a well-deserved ton. x Bilal Abassi taking 5 wickets on debut in 3rd Grade against Sutherland (5-20 off 8) to lead us to our first win of the season. Still in year 12, Bilal bowled consistent areas and asked questions of the batsmen with every ball. It was a shame the bowling restrictions didn’t allow him to bowl his 10 over allotment.

Some other highlights throughout the season included: x Round 4’s game against Manly. Ross Elliot battled hard against a great attack for a well-made 80, followed by James Widerstrom belting 50* to get us to within eight runs of the target. Unfortunate to lose, however, not often have we been close in chasing down 230 in a one-day game against a strong team like Manly. It showed early on that we could compete with the top clubs. Ross also ended up the top run scorer in the grade. x Jack Lyle’s blistering 81 against UNSW. Jack played with guise early on to get himself in and, once on top of the attack, launched at the end with five 6s and six 4s to get us within 11 runs of the total. Jack firing with the bat is a great sight. x Vivek Mahajan, making his 2nd Grade debut after scoring consistent runs in the middle-order throughout the season, including a 46 in 42 degree heat against Blacktown whilst battling heat stroke. x Akther Hussain, after taking a wicket with a leg-spinner and hearing the non-striker tell the new batsmen “he’s a leggy”, promptly bowling an off-spinner and almost taking a wicket. His bowling changes were part of what made him such a dangerous bowler, finishing with the most overs bowled throughout the season, equal highest wicket-taker with 17 wickets at an average of 25.33, which is very good for a leg-spinner in the middle grades. x James Mahony-Brack, ending with a bowling average of 14.69 from 75 overs and 13 wickets for the season in 3rd Grade. While unlucky to not have more wickets, JMB was always reliable with the ball and his bowling average only solidifies that fact. His smart cricket brain, great athleticism in the field and strong abilities as an opening-batsmen, made him a great asset to the team throughout the season. x Lachie Bird and the level of dribble coming from the young gun behind the stumps. He has plenty of talent and is one to look out for in the coming seasons as he matures his game with both bat and ‘keeping gloves.

We also had two young bowlers in Mandar Mariguddi and Sadeep Deepak join the club and played the majority of their games in 3s. Both bowled well throughout the season and will only continue to improve and make greater impact in future years. Mandar also made his 2nd Grade debut during the season, and finished equal highest wicket-taker in 3s with 17 wickets at 17.41.

I also would like to thank a handful of specific people who have helped throughout the season. Jaya Murdita, my vice-captain for the year. Jaya’s tactics and smarts throughout the games were invaluable to me as a captain. Being able to sound-off ideas and tactics with him was a great help and his ability to corral the boys and get them up for the fight was always appreciated. To Antony Sachs who always scored when Reuben was in the team. Thank you for supporting the side in that capacity and leaving the scorebook in immaculate condition, making it easy to read and enter into MyCricket. Thanks to Sandeep Mahajan, Vivek’s father who also helped out with the scorebook duties and left it in fantastic shape.

Finally, thanks to all the boys who played this season. While it was a tough one, the experience gained will be invaluable as we grow and look to find more success next season. I look forward to seeing you all at pre-season training. Roll on 2021-22.

59 60 4th Grade Reportp Proudly sponsored by Mellick Wealth Management Position in Competition: 19th by Liam O’Loughlin Captain 2 wins; 10 losses; 3 draws

It was another tough season for 4th Grade, with just two wins and three draws over the course of the 15 rounds. While it was a challenging year results-wise, there were still plenty of positives and things to look forward to in coming seasons.

After getting rolled by Penrith for just 44 runs in the second round, we bounced back the following weekend to record our first win against Fairfield-Liverpool.

From there, we were in the contest against Manly, North Sydney and Gordon. In those three games in particular, we lacked polish and execution in key moments, but the signs were there.

Two other close calls came against Western Suburb, where we went down in a controversial finish at Kensington Oval; the other being at our only game of the season at Coogee Oval, where we lost in a nail-biter against local rivals UNSW. Both of those games were certainly winnable, and you could make a genuine argument that the better side lost the game.

The highlight of the season was undoubtedly the win over heavyweights Sydney Uni. After the first day was washed out completely, the students set us a low total of 151 and plenty of overs to chase it down. The Randy Petes ended up chalking up our second and final win of the year, with Corey Graham (40*) steering us home in dramatic fashion.

While the results mostly didn’t go our way, there were some individuals who excelled in certain periods – many of whom are young players with bright futures at the club.

Connor O’Riordan (236 runs @ 29.5) was brought to the club as a higher-grade fast bowler, but unfortunately the big fella was struck down with injury before a ball was bowled. Luckily for us, he made his return to cricket as a batsman in 4s and was a huge influence on our struggling outfit. Connor’s season on the field was highlighted by a top score of 85 against Gordon, but it was what he delivered off it, that helped get through some tough days. A good kid with a big future at the Randy Petes.

Alan Mathews (9 wickets @ 21.44) and Will Deller (6 wickets @ 42.67) were both members of our Green Shield side, and had some really strong moments in 4s across the season. Both Alan and Will are kids who are going to be a lot better for having spent a large chunk of the season in 4s and learning valuable lessons each week. Max Robinson (103 runs @ 51.5) only played two games with us, but made an immediate impact and is another player who is going to continue to grow the more cricket he plays.

Scott Stirling (7 wickets @ 28.57) and Dale Hackney (7 catches) were extremely helpful throughout the year in regards to leadership. When things aren’t going your way on the field, it’s always important to have senior figures around to keep everyone in reasonable spirits. Dale especially was a major part of our side as my vice-captain, and I think we could both agree that we wouldn’t have got through some of those tough days without being able to lean on each other. Hoping to see both of these guys back in the green and gold next season.

While it was another tough season, the comradery not only in 4s but across the whole club, continues to be very positive. I would especially like to thank the coaching staff of Greg Small and Eddie Otto for their knowledge and guidance; training captains Stan Beal and my old man Paul O’Loughlin for volunteering on Tuesdays and Thursdays; head of selectors Alan Wright for his tireless work in a tough position – there weren’t too many rounds I didn’t receive a Friday afternoon phone call regarding late changes to the teams; as well as the committee headed by John Stewart. On top of that, all the other skippers in Daya Singh, Jackson Eldridge, Tom Holland and Fabian Heaton were great sounding boards at different stages, so shout out to those lads as well.

Congrats to the 1st Grade boys on their performance in the Limited-Overs competition – it was one of the most exciting games of cricket I can recall watching!

See you all in 2021-22.

Before I go into the report details of the season, I would like to sincerely thank the Randwick Petersham Cricket Club Management Committee for making the 2020-21 season happen. There were so many challenges with COVID -19 restrictions, but all players were given the opportunity to train and play in a COVID-safe environment within the rules. Special thanks to our Club Coach Greg Small for ensuring that team training happened every Tuesday and Thursday, rain or shine.

From a statistical point of view, it was a quite a disappointing season for 5th Grade finishing second last on the points table. There were 4 or 5 games in which we could have pulled off wins but unfortunately, just could not get the last two wickets when bowling or when batting, ending short 10 runs or so. The selectors and I knew it was going to be tough year for 5s as we planned to field a young side. Giving these young players an early exposure to Premier Cricket is hopefully going to prove a worthy investment as the players will come back stronger and better next season. Personally, although we did not make it to the top of the table it was a pleasure motivating and mentoring each of our young players. I am sure many will play much higher grades for the club.

Thank you to our senior players, Ben Chaplin, Michael Wood and Rehan Anjum who filled-in for games when we were short of players. Also, thanks to Carly Leeson, our female cricketer who did a great job for the team when she filled in help the side on top of her WBBL and ACT commitments.

Thanks to our selectors, Alan Wright, Peter Devlin and Club Coach Greg Small for making every effort to give me a balanced and competent team every week. Thanks to Stanley Beal and Paul O’Loughlin for running the net sessions competently, always ensuring there were enough bowlers in each net and that all players who turned up, had a hit. Also, big thanks again to Club Coach Greg Small and Michael Wood who were always around when fielding drills were needed. Special mention and thanks to Jeremy Jastrzab who helped out with the fielding warm-up drills when we played at Snape or Kensington Oval.

Thank you Mike Whitney, John Stewart and Bill Anderson for another season. With your leadership and guidance, it was simply awesome for our 1st Grade to be One Day champions. I am sure our other players will feed off this achievement and come back in 2021-22 with renewed enthusiasm. Thanks also to Lyall Gardner for his work co-ordinating and putting together the statistics and his attention to detail year-in year-out. And thanks to Ray Stafford for his outstanding work compiling the statistics.

Now to the players. While many players contributed to the team, I have limited comments to those who played at least five games. Pratulya Kashyap (PK)–Thanks for being my right-hand man. Every game you bowled your off-spin with guile and deception, fielded like a panther and caught well too. In the close games we lost, we just needed another 15 or 20 runs and you would have brought us home. Unfortunately, batting was a bit under par this season but I can see you have the technique and determination to definitely accumulate more runs and it will not be long before you come good. You have a great future PK and if you continue working hard, you will have another great season and higher grades will await you.

Adam Coombs – Our passionate young medium-pacer. As the season progressed Adam’s bowling improved markedly. He controlled his pace and attacked back of a length on the off-stump consistently. A fine example of someone putting in the hard yards in the nets and then executing what has been practiced out in the middle. What was impressive in the latter half of the season was Adam trying to stay at the wicket. A fine youngster who I am excitedly looking forward to seeing next season.

Max Robinson– Our Green Shield captain and a fine young cricketer. Max is a high order batsman, fine fielder, and a very competent off-spinner. In most of our games, Max started well but then got out to attacking shots (which to the left or right of a fielder would have gone for boundaries). With the experience accumulated from this year’s outing, Max is going to be a big run scorer next season which he proved it in the last two games when he played in 4th Grade making back-to-back 50’s. When given the ball in difficult circumstances, Max 99% of the time got the breakthrough when others were struggling to beat the bat.

Freddy Whalebone – One of the hardest working and fittest cricketer in the club. Being a left-hander, Freddy was a great asset to the team this year and batted in different positions from opening to number 7 and was brought onto bowl for short spells when I needed to try something different and needed to get a much-needed breakthrough. Freddy had a couple of good knocks batting in the middle order. At times when he looked settled a false shot selection would see his demise. I am confident that as Freddy plays more games he will consistently make big scores. Also, he has the potential to be a fine all-rounder with his bowling ability to swing the ball in any conditions. Looking forward to a big 2021- 22 season from Freddy.

Sriram Suresh – Our young dashing opening bat and leg-spinner and top fielder. He is a young player with lot of potential and just needs to keep a cool head while batting. Any captain would love to have him in the side as he can change the game with his bowling and fielding. The experience from this year’s outing is going to go a long way for Sriram bringing on the goods next season.

Alan Matthews –A youngster with huge potential. Alan just breathes cricket. A very hard worker in the nets he will rarely miss a training session. Alan played only half a season in 5’s before going up to 4s because of his consistent bowling. When in 5s I could throw the ball to Alan when we wanted line and length to restrict runs. His consistency and immaculate length is due to all the practice put in over the weeks and months and years. Alan was also trialled batting up the order and proved he has the technique to stay at the wicket and punish the loose balls when up to the bat or short. Alan is a promising all-rounder and has a bright future.

Angus Beaumont – One of the nicest young players to have in the side, Angus had a mixed season this year. He started off batting in the middle order and towards the end of the season opened the batting in 5s after a stint in Metros. It was a difficult year for him as he was under pressure to perform well, based upon his fine 2019-20 season when he finished the season playing in 4s. I am quietly confident that Angus will put behind the 20-21 season and come back next summer all guns blazing and work his way up the grades with some good batting performances. He is another real hard worker in the nets.

Alan Xu: A captain’s dream to have in the team with all guts and determination. Unfortunately for us, Alan did not fire when playing in 5s and surely would like to forget season 20-21 as almost all his dismissals were LBW. Alan proved in the match against Bankstown that he has a fine temperament and with a little bit of luck could have reversed things when he batted in other games. Alan also helped out with wicket-keeping and did a fine job. Looking forward to seeing Xuey bounce back next season with runs.

Gurukrishna Chander – An unassuming but very effective cricketer. I came to realise that with Guru in our side, if the opponent blinked he could take the game away from them and turn it in our favour from any situation. He is a fine middle-order left-hand batsman and left-arm spin bowler. Guru almost pulled off a couple of wins for us had he had the backing of the lower order batsmen in those tight games. Guru bats well, rotating the strike when he just comes in but before you know it, he starts hitting the balls to all parts of the grounds over the infield. With his success in 5s Guru played most of the latter half of the season in 4s and made some valuable contributions. My favourite player for the year, as a win was always on when he was out in the middle chasing runs. Looking forward to many successes next season.

Luke Takacs: Another favourite player and an absolute top team-man with a fantastic cricketing future. Luke is a fine free flowing middle-order bat who will simply not give his wicket away easily. A captain’s dream to have in the team because in the field, Luke will save a minimum of 20 – 30 runs fielding in covers or the deep. When close, he cuts off singles and in the deep chases the ball to cut of boundaries. In the few games when Luke did not play due to injury, he still came to the game to support the team and help with scoring. After almost half the season playing 5s, I am sure Luke will come back next season scoring plenty of runs. Luke is my team man of the year!!

Damien Sidney: A very hard hitting left-handed middle-order batsman who only played a handful of games in 5s. Damo can take the game away from any opposition as he plays some great shots along the ground and over the top of the infield. To complement his batting, he is a very competent ‘keeper. He is one to watch next season and has the potential to go up the grades after proving himself as a useful middle-order bat in 4s in the latter half of the season.

Position in Competition: 15th by Paul O’Loughlin, Team Manager 2 wins; 4 losses

On paper, the result of only two wins from six matches looks disappointing, but this could easily have been four wins with a little more luck and application.

We started the season with a large turnover of players and with only six returning from the previous summer, the team was young and inexperienced. We were fortunate however, to have a new recruit in the shape of Puru Gaur to bolster the stocks and he did just that with his leadership and some outstanding contributions with the bat.

Puru was a real standout, scoring 367 runs–a new record for the club in PGs. This included a century (115) against Gordon and half centuries v St George, Sutherland and Uni. of NSW. Other notable contributors were skipper Caelan Maladay who belted 91 off 58 balls against St George, 16 year-old wicket-keeper/batsman Lachie Bird with 51* v Gordon and Josh Mellick, who hit 65 off just 38 balls with five sixes playing Mosman. On the bowling front, we were consistent with fast bowler Mitch O’Loughlin the leading wicket-taker.

The most positive performances were shown in our last two games where we displayed plenty of determination in chasing down totals of 198 and 204 runs in the late stages of both games. Those two wins really showed what these young men are capable of and the season ahead looks promising, with all, bar one player, still eligible to play.

Thanks to coach, Sanjiv Dubey, who, while only new to the club, imparted his knowledge and his enthusiasm to the team. The side was also very fortunate to have club legend, Michael Whitney, come on as assistant coach. His advice, knowledge and stories, enlightened the boys. Finally, thanks to our scorers Antony Sachs and Sandeep Mahajan. Bring on the 2020-21 season, as I believe what the boys have learnt this year will result in improved performances.

Poidevin Gray Summary of Matches 2020-21

Round 1 T20 v UTS North Sydney @ Kensington (WON toss): 10 am Sun 11 Oct 2020 Lost 73 to 1-77 (11.3) Batting first but losing two wickets in the first 7 runs was a poor start. A steady flow of wickets followed with only Puru Gaur at the top of the innings with 31 off 28 balls with 2x4 and 1x6 showed any real application. Next best was Caelan Maladay with 8. While there were three run- outs, former Randy Petes Mac Jenkins with 2-7 and Jack James 2-14 added to the downfall. Mitch O’Loughlin took an early wicket to have them 1-26 but thereafter it was one-way traffic with the target polished off in just 11.3 overs for the loss of just the one wicket.

Round 2 LO v St George @ Hurstville (WON toss): 10 am Sun 18 Oct 2020 Lost 242 (49.2) to 8-286cc Sending the Saints in to bat after early showers didn’t produce the dividends hoped and at 2-119 a big score loomed large. And so it turned out with only one of the top eight bats not making double figures. Saints’ no 3 hit 81 off 81 balls and was the rock of their innings. Six bowlers were tried with Jack Horseman impressive with 3-31 off 8 overs. Pace-man Mitch O’Loughlin also did well with 3-54 off 10. It was a good start in reply with the score 1-68 before losing a second wicket. Puru Gaur was solid at the top of the innings with 53 off 80 balls with 2x4. Kel Mullins didn’t wait around hitting 38 off 50 with 3x4 and 2x6. But it was the skipper Caelan Maladay who played the innings of the match belting 91 off just 58 with 8x4 and 4x6. Unfortunately, none of the bottom six made more than 8 leaving Maladay to lead the charge. He was last man out with four balls remaining but deserving of the century he missed by just 9 runs. The side lost by 44 runs. Conceding 35 extras didn’t help.

Round 3 LO v Gordon @ Chatswood (WON toss): 10 am Sun 15 Nov 2020 Lost 6-225cc to 0-226 (40.5) The batsmen failed to capitalise on winning the toss in perfect conditions and only Kel Mullins with 31 and Puru Gaur were able to make any headway as the score slumped to 5-104. Wicket-keeper Lachlan Bird then joined Gaur in a record 6th wicket partnership of 121 in only 75 minutes with Puru making 115 off 134 balls hitting 9x4 and 1x6. Bird remained 51* with 5x4. However, the final score of a respectable 6-225cc was no hurdle for the Gordon bats who polished off the target in 40.5 overs without losing a wicket! Both openers made 103*. Eight bowlers were tried.

Round 4 T20 v Mosman @ Allan Border (lost toss): 10 am Sun 22 Nov 2020 Lost 133 (19.1) to 5-144cc Having former Randy Pete Matt Calder out for a duck was a great start and at 5-60, the bowlers were well on top. But that was the end of the section as an unconquered partnership of 84 set a handy target. In the run chase, Josh Mellick was on song belting 65 off 38 balls with 6x4 and 5x6. But Reuben Sachs with 12 was the only other bat to make double figures while the last 7 wickets fell for 30 to go down by 11 runs.

Round 5 LO v Sutherland @ Coogee (lost toss): 10 am Sun 13 December 2020 WON 8-198 (49.3) to 9-197cc There were just three balls to spare but the team pulled off a great win. Batting first, the Sharks lost three wickets to skipper Caelan Maladay to be 3-56. Mandar Mariguddi also struck and at 6-102, RPC was well on top. But a partnership of 64 threatened to undo the good work until Jack Horseman (1-26) caused a breakthrough. Maladay finished with 3-49 (10) and Mariguddi 3-24 (8). Vivek Mahajan bowled a very tight spell of 1- 16 off 10. In reply, Kel Mullins (43) and Puru Gaur (76) put on 86 for the second wicket to get to 2-94. Lachlan Bird (25) then combined with Gaur in a partnership of 39 for the 5th wicket. And while Gaur was out at 7-194, Mariguddi (10) along with Horseman (6*) and Mitch O’Loughlin (5*) managed to sneak through to record the team’s first win.

Round 6 LO v Uni. NSW @ Coogee (lost toss): 10 am Sun 17 January 2021 WON 6-205 (48.3) to 9-204cc Uni. batted in good conditions and had our bowlers under the pump in the early overs to comfortably get to 2-119. But two quick wickets to Vivek Mahajan (3-25 off 10), turned the tide with the top-scorer falling at 169 and some enthusiastic fielding bringing about three run-outs. The end score was far less than what looked likely mid-innings. Not a good start in the run-chase at 2-13, but a 63 runs partnership between Reuben Sachs (31) and Puru Gaur, got the innings back on track. A breezy 24 from Josh Segal and an unbroken 49 runs partnership for the 7th by Mahajan (24*) and Gaur who ended with 86*, saw the target passed with nine balls to spare for a good win.

AW Green Shield Report (Under(y) 16 years) Proudly sponsored by Ellen McKenzie Position in Competition: 15th by John Stewart, Manager 2 wins; 5 losses With nine players returning in 2020-21, excitement was high for a strong season. Furthermore, over the past four seasons, the pathway program implemented to develop the 15-player Squad and Development team, has been instrumental in attracting players from our local junior clubs and further afield, as well as creating a seamless transition of players across seasons. It has provided earmarked younger players with a taste of AW Green Shield cricket which has stood them in good stead when entering the 15. These structures have now been replicated by several clubs and reflecting on the 2020-21 AW Green Shield season, the improvement among opposition teams and players, particularly those entering the competition with 2nd and 3rd Grade experience under their belts, reinforces the growing strength of the competition (and highlights the need to provide some of our Greenies with higher grade experience). Last season the team finished with 25 points, the first time in seven seasons that 25 prevented a place in the top eight. This season, Sydney rounded out the top eight with 26 points.

Three seasons ago, Will Deller, Max Robinson and Gus Small ran drinks throughout the 2018-19 season, as members of the Development Squad, with enthusiasm and lived and breathed the highs and lows of the team, especially in the heat at Raby and the agonisingly close loss v the Saints at Coogee. This season their dedication was rewarded as they formed the leadership group with Max skippering and strongly backed by Will and Gus. Adam Coombs, Sriram Suresh and Luke Takacs returned for their second year and these six players formed the nucleus of the team. All are high quality cricketers and provide an exciting insight into the next generation of Randwick Petersham representatives.

Josh Bird, Jack Redhill and Raghav Malhotra also came into the 15-player squad after serving a strong apprenticeship in last season’s Development Squad. Charlie Howard, on recommendation from former Green Shielder, Jack Horseman, provided some country flair and brawn with bat and ball and alongside George Boyd, Mitchell Cope, William Dodd and Milan Lambert, rounded out a well-balanced squad for the 20th season campaign. We thank the following members of this season’s Development Squad for the assistance provided to those in the playing XI: Arthav Ramakanth; Jordie Segal; Marley Whitcombe and Stirling Williams.

On the batting front, Gus Small and Sriram Suresh provided a complementary partnership with deft and power at the top of the order. Gus also ‘kept superbly, allowing only one bye and claiming eight catches. Max exhibited class at no. 3 but unfortunately, could not convert his starts into 50+ scores. Alan Mathews and Will Deller both had 100+ aggregates and put on 86 for the 6th wicket in the chase v Sydney but unfortunately, it was not enough to win at Drummoyne. George Boyd ended on a ‘Nelson’ although his batting confidence grew as the season progressed. A couple of catches and run-outs showed his worth as a fielder.

On the bowling front, Will Deller led with 10 wickets and was unlucky not to claim more, beating the bat on countless occasions with an impeccable line and new found pace. He was ably backed up by all the bowlers but in particular, Josh Bird, whose figures of 4-21 v Campbelltown-Camden were instrumental in strangling and dismissing the Ghosts for a well below-par 98 having been cruising at 4-75, and setting up a resounding win. Mathews, Robinson and Howard bowled some fine spells and I’m sure Adam Coombs would have loved a better season with the ball. His four wickets bely the pace and skill he has as a quick.

In terms of ‘Spirit of Cricket’, the efforts of the players, as well as parents and coaches, on one of the longest days of cricket at Tunks cannot be forgotten. It was an extraordinarily long day having arrived prior to 8am, and with incessant showers throughout the day, the coaching team’s appreciation must be extended to all for the efforts in continuously working on the covers, super- sopping and maintaining the player’s focus. The boys eventually completed a reduced overs match in the dusk with the players and supporters eventually leaving the ground at 7:50pm.

The coaches and managers thank all the players for their efforts in 2020-21 but it would be remiss not to mention the parents. Last season I mentioned the lunches were first-class. Unfortunately, COVID prevented homemade cuisine, but many thanks to Chargrill Charlies at Coogee for keeping the team and opposition well fed at all home matches. Many thanks to Jo Robinson for co-ordinating along with Maria Takacs, Lisa Coombs, Gab Small, Michelle Dodd and Debbie Bird. Also, many thanks to Roy Robinson, Emri Takacs, Adam Bird, Brett Coombs, Adrian Dodd, Karl Cope and Vipin Mathews for assisting with general needs on match days and Pingu and Jez for live scoring and livestreaming. It is certainly appreciated by all. We are also grateful for the support of the club’s committee, especially President Mike Whitney, Director of Cricket Operations, Bill Anderson and Assistant CEO, Paul O’Loughlin, who attended a number of matches and provided words of encouragement and advice.

I personally acknowledge the great efforts of the coaching team for the season who have been a solid group over the past four seasons. They have been wonderful to work with and have allowed the Green Shield program at Randwick Petersham to run smoothly and attracted a number of juniors to the club who have now progressed into the Premier ranks. I extend appreciation to Randwick Petersham Head Coach, Greg Small, for his guidance and expertise across the Green Shield program and it should be noted that his knowledge of the juniors in our catchment areas has been invaluable. I also thank Pratulya Kashyap and Dale Hackney for their assistance during the campaign as coaches and mentors to the players. All three developed a strong rapport with the players and extended their abilities as cricketers from the one-on-ones, strengthening their techniques and mental focus while also engendering strong team morale. Also, thanks are extended to our 1st graders, Will and Tim Affleck and Ryan Ninan, who provided expert guidance and mentoring at our preseason training sessions and at regular club training, and formed a strong rapport with all the players. Finally, many thanks to Jeremy Jastrzab and E-Young Khoo for assisting me with the managerial and off-field duties, as well as clarification of playing conditions, to ensure the smooth running of the squad. Without all these individuals, the job would have been a lot tougher.

The team and management also pass on our heartfelt appreciation to Ellen McKenzie for her generous and gracious sponsorship of the 2020-21 AW Green Shield program, allowing the club to provide a professional agenda as well as the traditional caps which the players wore with pride.

While the result on the field is not what the coaches or players had as their objectives, we have unearthed a fine number of players to add to the 20 players of the past three years who have made Randwick Petersham home. It is evident with these players that the future of Randwick Petersham is bright and we look forward to them playing higher grades in 2021-22 and progressing to 1st Grade. Trust, Respect, Humility.

A W Green Shield Summary of Matches 2020-21

Round 1 v Penrith @ Coogee: lost toss Thur 17 Dec 2020 LOST (bonus point) by 98 runs: 126 to 7-224cc A fifth wicket partnership of 92 took the game away from RPC after a reasonable start to have the Panthers 4-90. And while the last three wickets only put on 40, they had set a solid target. The side was away well at 1-51 in reply, but after w/keep Gus Small with 24 and Sriram Suresh with 20 at the top of the order were gone, the batting fell away. Charlie Howard and Will Deller each made 22 but that was the extent of the contribution to be all out after 41.2 overs. Alan Mathews (2-25 off 7) and Deller (2-36 off 10) had the best bowling figures.

Round 2 v UTS North Sydney @ Tunks: lost toss Thur 7 Jan 2021 LOST by 4 wkts: 107 to 4-113 Sent in to bat in showery conditions, Sriram Suresh hit the first six of the season in his first 10 runs. His dismissal for 17 with the score 1-34 triggered a complete collapse and the side was all out in 25.5 overs for 107 losing 10 for 73. Gus Small’s 18 was top-score. In the run chase, Norths were untroubled to wrap up the match 4 down in just 25 overs. Four bowlers shared the 4 wickets.

Round 3 v Western Suburbs @ Coogee: lost toss Sun 10 Jan 2021 LOST by 9 runs: 126 to 9-135cc An excellent effort by the bowlers to concede just 2.7 runs per over in keeping Wests to a below-par 135, was not supported by the batsmen. Wickets fell regularly in the run chase in perfect batting conditions although at 3-74, the home side was looking comfortable. The loss of Charlie Howard for 20 however, was the beginning of the end with the last seven wickets falling for 52. The last wicket partnership of 15 gave supporters some hope but poor batting was the culprit. Included in the final tally was extras of 38 (34 wides) which was almost double the score of the top batting score. Alan Mathews (2-23 off 10), Will Deller (2-27 off 10) and Joshua Bird (2-31off 10) were best of the bowlers.

Round 4 v Fairfield-Liverpool @ Rosedale: WON toss Tues 12 Jan 2021 WON by 43 runs: 7-191cc to 9-148 cc It was a reasonable start to get to 3-99 with Sriram Suresh the anchor making 41 off 86 balls. That was the launching pad for some good efforts by George Boyd (35 off 65), Will Deller (37 off 55) and Alan Mathews (27 off 33) giving the side its best score of the season. Good bowling kept the run rate down in reply with the Lions soon 7-82. A late rally saw them finish with 9-148 but the bird had flown with the boys recording their first win of the season. Best of the bowlers were Max Robinson (2-24 off 10), Joshua Bird (2-26 off 10) and Will Deller (2-37 off 9). A good win.

Round 6 v Campbelltown-Camden @ Coogee: WON toss Thurs 14 Jan 2021 WON by 5 wkts: 5-99 to 98 An excellent performance by the bowlers to take 8-39 after the Ghosts were 2-69, to be all out for under 100 in 39.6 overs. Chief wicket-taker was Joshua Bird with 4-21 off 8.6 overs. Skipper Max Robinson was a great foil with 2-27 off 9. There were also two run-outs. The run-chase began poorly with the top three bats out with 10 on the board. However, a solid 30 from Charlie Howard and an unconquered 33 from George Boyd off 77 balls with four boundaries supported by Alan Mathews with 5* off 25 balls safely saw the side through in 32.5 overs for a good win.

Round 5 v Sydney @ Drummoyne: WON toss Tues 19 Jan 2021 LOST by 36 runs: 5-166 to 5-202cc It was a brave decision to send in the Tigers in overcast conditions. And while there were some good scores, with the opening bat making a century, it was a top effort by the bowlers to keep them to a manageable total. Will Deller bowled well for 3-31 off 10 supported by Charlie Howard with 1-23 also off 10. In reply, it was early trouble at 3-19. Skipper Max Robinson followed with 39 off 58 balls for a 5-80 score-line. A solid partnership of 86 by Will Deller to end with 40* off 69 balls and Alan Mathews who remained 39* off 66, gave the side some hope but in the end the damage had been done.

Round 7 v Manly-Warringah @ Coogee: lost toss Thurs 21 Jan 2021 LOST by 63 runs: 122 to 185 Batting first in perfect conditions, Manly were away to a flyer and at 3-144, a huge score looked likely. But when Adam Coombs bowled the no. 5, it set off a collapse where 7 wickets fell for 41 to be all out for a below-par 185. The score was helped along by 24 wides in a total of 29 extras. Charlie Howard took 2 of those wickets while tip-top fielding accounted for 3 run-outs to make it 4 run-outs in the innings. Howard finished with 3-25 off 9 overs. Alan Mathews took the first wicket with the score at 33 and finished with the remarkable figures of 1-7 off 6 overs with 2 maidens. In the run chase, the side was on track at 2-63 off 18 overs. But when opener Gus Small was caught for 29, it triggered a collapse from which there was little come-back. The score quickly slumped to 8-90 and although 32 was put on for the last two wickets, the match was well and truly lost. Alan Mathews remained 28*.

Metropolitan Cup Report Position in Competition: by Jeremy Jastrzab, Metro Manager Gold: Semi-finalists; Green: 12th

It was a difficult season on the field for Randwick Petersham, but there were landmark achievements from many involved with the Metropolitan Cup. The later start to the season brought plenty of players out of the woodwork and more than 120 had registered prior to round 1. For the first time in recent memory, we hardly had to scramble for players on a Friday night. While the highlight was no doubt our first finals appearance since 2016-17, the graduation of players who started in Metro Cup to 1st Grade, the continual emergence of more young players and the club spirit shown by our players, also shone brightly.

Back to the Future In my six years as Metropolitan Cup manager, we have finally reached the zenith of what we’d want from a feeder program – players debuting in 1st Grade for the club they started at. In 2019-20 we achieved 7 out of 11 players in 2nd Grade and more than 50% across the grades having played Metropolitan Cup. Having now produced 1st Grade debutants, we can resoundingly claim the following: the system works! Congratulations to Ravin De Silva, Jackson Eldridge (appointed 2nd Grade captain) and Mitchell O’Loughlin. All three debuted on the first day of our Round 6 fixture against Manly-Warringah, as the first three players to start at the club in Metropolitan Cup before playing in all teams at Randwick Petersham. Most excitingly, this is only the beginning for these players while there are a number of youngsters coming through the ranks who also have the potential to go the whole way. And the reality of the Premier Cricket scene now is that 1st Grade cricketers are bred and blooded early – something that a number of other clubs are implementing with increased frequency. This season’s AW Green Shield showed that clubs who brought their players into Premier Cricket earlier were getting dividends. Both UNSW and Western Suburbs had players in 2nd Grade this season who played Metro Cup in 2018-19, with the former debuting in 1st Grade by season’s end, while Hawkesbury debuted a 16 year old in 1st Grade in round 14. We would do well to close MyCricket and have faith in our experience in recognising the young players who have the skills, application, and potential to succeed – even if their stats may not back it up. Certainly, some of these players could provide the green shoots from which we eventually grow and recover from a difficult season.

All that glitters is Gold and Green The Gold team had a fascinating roller-coaster season that rode the highs and lows of the results as much as it did the disruptions caused by external factors. Personally, it was one of the most challenging and enjoyable seasons that I have been involved with. While this was one of the wettest seasons on record, we managed to dodge the rains until the semi-final, where if not for record rainfalls we had our best chance of picking up our second Metropolitan Cup. Our bowling took the most wickets throughout the competition, our fielding reflected the amount of work put in at training (I can’t remember a season with so many slips catches), and it was only the batting that occasionally let us down. When the batting did click, were we indomitable. And the competition was probably the most open and competitive that it has been in the last seven seasons. Aside from this, it was a bizarre inability to perform against Sydney University teams – who themselves fielded two teams in the competition, in spite of rumours they may not play at all, and a bad day against Gordon that were our main downfalls. While skill-wise we matched them player-for-player, there was something about the hard-nosed, uncompromising and bullish style of play that seemed to shock our players. That said, we still won 9 out of 14 games, and while we finished 5th in the regular season, we managed to beat 1st, 2nd (twice) and 3rd, and most importantly, won the crunch games once the pressure was on to give ourselves that chance at the title shot. Our run started off better than we could have imagined when our players showed up to the first game at Bensons Lane 3 and started warming up in their whites. A spectacular fielding effort backed up with some guts with the bat to complete the chase before apocalyptic rain hit sent us on the way to win 5 of our first 6 matches. None of those wins were easy; against Warringah, we chased 66 with two wickets left, while road trips out to Kanebridge Oval and Balmoral were won on 40-degree days where all players had their mettle tested. It was only a bad day with the bat at St Paul’s that prevented a full sweep leading into December. In those six games, we were the only team in Premier and Metro Cup Cricket to take all 60 wickets available, but as was becoming clear throughout the competition, it would be the best batting team that would come out triumphant. Batting would be our downfall over the next three games, as we lost to each Sydney University side and then Gordon to drop from 2nd at Christmas, to 6th with one round left before the two dayers started. In between, we lost the chance for 6 points when our bye round was lost due to COVID. The round 11 clash against ladder leaders and reigning premiers, UNSW, essentially became a do-or-die clash. A bumper crowd enjoyed a game where no team was able to stay on top throughout the day. Erratic umpiring added to the drama, and every time we got on top, UNSW showed why they are ranked number one and clawed back. Finally, UNSW blinked 7 runs short of the target but everyone was able to appreciate that they were involved in a special game. A comprehensive win over Blacktown at the start of the truncated two-day campaign meant that we had to win at least one out of the last two games. Unfortunately, the season’s banana peel team almost derailed us in 24 overs of madness. Sydney University rolled us for 59 and were almost 140 ahead by the end of day one. Rather than capitulating in the face of a massive deficit, the team rallied with a rousing batting performance to finish the game with form, dominance and momentum on our side, while demoralising Sydney Uni. so much that they begged to go home. They went on to lose their next game and give up a home ground finals advantage.

That and the performance of other teams left us with a must win game in our final round. A slow burning affair against North West Sydney in the Hills District tested our resolve, as we required 88 runs in 23 overs after the final drinks break of the regular season. Having learned how to win through the season, the target was passed with 4 overs and 4 wickets in the shed. As well as qualifying 5th, our late victory also meant that one of the Sydney University teams was knocked out of the finals. Our first finals appearance since 2016-17 was one for the ages, as the lessons and momentum from the season proved too much for 2nd placed Warringah. With the forecast for Sunday dire, the team knew as they drove across the Spit Bridge that they had to force at least a first innings result on the first day. Winning the toss and electing to bowl knowing that we had a longer day than usual to play, our performance in the field was nothing short of clinical. Not a single bowler handed over the ball willingly, each wanting to be the one to take their team over the line. Fielders stopped balls as if their life depended on it. And after 58 overs, Warringah were only able to muster 85. The boys from the Northern Beaches almost got one back as the batting collapsed to 4- 23, then 5-49, but we eventually finished the day at 7-125. It wasn’t until we arrived at the ground the next day, with half the field submerged, that we realised the magnitude of our achievement. As an added bonus, we also managed to knock-out the other Sydney University team after their qualifying-final was washed out. Alas, the rain would go on to scupper our semi-final chances the following week. While everyone was disappointed that they didn’t have the chance to get on the field, they’ll know as they reflect that they had some magnificent achievements and performances throughout the season. The Green team, led by the evergreen Jay Patel, showed that even if a team isn’t having the best season with their on-field performances that they have still have vital roles for the club overall. Their nascent talent was good enough to win an early match against Blacktown and ride eventual second placed Warringah close. They lost a tough match decided by the toss on an uncovered pitch at Bland Oval and stole defeat from the jaws of victory against Mosman- which had repercussions on the final standings. Despite not winning after Christmas, they had a few note-worthy performances to close out the season. Undermanned, but never underdone, they trekked out to Bensons Lane – one week where play didn’t even get on due to rain – and put on a brave performance to ensure that the game wasn’t lost. In the following round, they once again took on Warringah and were 7 overs away from securing a draw – though 7 LBW decisions probably didn’t help them. In each game, it was the younger brigade who stood up and showed their potential to perform. These were also the players who weren’t picked in early season matches but continued to train hard and patiently wait their turn. I’m sure they weren’t always happy about this, but they never caused any trouble, always put their team first and spoke the loudest with their performances on the field when their chances did come.

Balance Slays the Demon The improved performances across the Metropolitan Cup this season come down to a number of factors, but a key one was a better balance of youth and experience. For the last three seasons, we fielded the youngest teams in the competition. While this certainly still allows for our core purpose to continue – blooding the youth for tomorrow – without leaning on more experienced heads it makes learning how to win that little bit harder. We were blessed this season with a few fantastic clubmen on the right side of 18, and that will hopefully hang around for a bit longer. It also helped that despite our playing stocks, we used the smallest number of players across the season since 2016-17 (coincidentally, the last time Metro Cup or 5th Grade made finals), meaning more players who are seasoned through training and match practice and a lower reliance on ring-ins. The chief of the ‘older’ performers was Ashish Bhat. Given an unprecedented demand to join the club, we held open trials for the first time during the pre-season, and ‘Ash’ was among the final players chosen. Underneath the rare persona, was a tireless worker and unimpeachable team man – willing to run through a brick wall – who contributed with bat, ball and in the field. Playing his first season of turf cricket in Australia, Ash spent a lot of time with the coaches at pre-season and regular training to refine his bowling, and the results spoke for themselves. He took three wickets in his first three overs on debut at Bensons Lane 3, and had a happy knack of picking up wickets when we needed them. He was a standout bowler in our two losses after Christmas and with a bit more support his efforts wouldn’t have gone in vein. But the coup de grâce was a spectacular performance in the qualifying- final. Entering the field with a stirring speech for the team, Ash put his money where his mouth was by opening the bowling and sending down 13 overs straight while taking 3 wickets, then coming back to finish the job and a well-deserved 5-fer. No mug with the bat either and particularly strong down the ground, he had some important innings to get the team over the line, such as in round 14 and the qualifying-final, while also hitting a maiden 50 in this season’s derby. Not only did Ash finish the leading wicket taker in the competition, but also the leading catcher, as he pouched chances all over the field – from slips to deep square. Valmik ‘Rockets’ Ahire, for as unassuming a prospect he is, turned out to be an ideal bowler at this level. His lengthy run-up, subtle changes in pace and line, variations in swing and seam had batsmen groping in the dark and unable to get him away. Equally mystifying was some of the on-field chat. Valmik finish the second highest wicket taker for us and he had the second best economy rate in the club for any bowler with more than three wickets. His 5 wicket haul in round 14 got our foot in the finals door, with the 3 wicket burst late on day one ensuring that we were in control of the contest. Dr Asif Rasheed (an actual GP) would go on to be one of the most feared batsmen in the competition, capable of explosive and rapid starts, providing an x-factor for a young side and did his fair share of rattling opposition bowling attacks. After 10 years away from the club, it was a welcome return for Denesh Hewa-Gamage (another Doctor). His fiery, competitive demeanour belied a calm and calculating cricket brain, and in a short time was able to contribute with bat, ball and in the field, while also being a fantastic example and confidant for the younger players. While we only had him for a few games, Guru Chandar was a gem of a human, both on and off the field, as was Parth Patel.

While not necessarily ‘older’, but players such as Neale Crawford, Alan Xu, Yogesh Wanzare and prodigal son Damian Sidney all deserve thanks for their contributions in-between being shunted in-and-out of Premier cricket. Neale could always be relied upon to give 100% and score tough runs when they were required. ‘Taronga’ Xu was instrumental in our early wins, and took it on the chin when he was dropped and sent out to Bensons Lane for a 120-over match. Yogesh also had some telling early contributions. Damo’s maiden cricketing hundred at this season’s derby was testament to his newfound maturity and harnessing of the ability we all knew he had. Something that is often underappreciated, is the pride that most Metro Cup players have as clubmen. All four at various stages gave up something for the betterment of the club, so we appreciated the positive write-up from 3rd Grade when they needed a fielder and Yogesh answered the call. John Stewart enjoyed stepping back from the captaincy with some important innings and vital catches throughout the season, sandwiching performances with a pair of screamers at Bensons in round 1, and a patient innings against North West Sydney in a must-win contest in round 14. E-Young ‘Pingu’ Khoo’s contribution goes beyond the statistics, with his mature batting ensuring on more than one occasion a collapse was averted and taking the team home to safety, while his off-spin bowling continued to develop promisingly and is still the most underrated cricket brain. Charith De Silva became the club’s highest wicket taker in the Metropolitan Cup, and while the records are not complete, there is a very good chance that he could be the competition’s highest wicket taker of all time. And personally, I enjoyed my best season with the gloves: passing 50 dismissals for the club, taking a PB for most dismissals in a season and finishing with the most dismissals in the Metropolitan Cup for season 2020-21.

Backing Youth Our primary goal will always be to give young players the best opportunity to take their first steps into men’s cricket, and many players showed their potential at various points. Given the right opportunities and direction, they will advance through the grades over the coming years. Leading the charge was Jordan Segal, younger brother of Josh, who blew the competition away once he was available after reps. While his early scores don’t say much, watching him you’ll realise the power and poise that this 14 year old was packing. A few older heads convinced him that he has the ability to play higher in coming years, and in our must win game against UNSW, Jordie hit 36 to take us from a middling score to a defendable total. It wasn’t just the score, but how he got there; hitting boundaries at Kensington Oval along the ground is not easy. He followed up with a mature 50 against Blacktown and was present at the crease when we passed the score, before making use of our second innings against Sydney University Gold with is maiden hundred (in all cricket) and get our campaign back on track. In the qualifying-final, he came to the crease with our batting 4-down for not many, and passed 50 for a third time to seal the first innings on the first day. Jackson Dodd and Thanush ‘Big T’ Gowda were also instrumental throughout the season. Jackson has come a long way since 2018- 19 and is among the most reliable performers when available. Always a fierce competitor, his skills now match the competitive spirit. An effective bowler at any stage of the innings – able to swing the new ball, defend in the middle overs or strike at the death – when he wasn’t taking wickets, he was almost impossible to score off. Add in some vital runs, as well as a reliable set of hands, and Premier Cricket has a ready-made player on their hands for next season. Thanush has not only improved out of sight, but was the heart and soul of the team, with his tireless chat in the field. He very quickly adapted from being the attack bowler, to being relied upon to defend most totals with quickish and accurate off-spin. Adaptable and able to work to a plan, his 15 wickets at 18 are a testament to his love and dedication of the game. He was among our most reliable fielders, with (mostly) safe hands and a flair for effecting run outs. If his improvement continues, he too won’t be out of place in Premier Cricket. There are a number of other youngsters who shone at various points. Luke Takacs, Adam Coombs and Ben Thomas showed they had advanced from their formative time in Metropolitan Cup. William Dodd has the makings of a solid and dependable top-order batsman. Warwick Preston and Jack Braithwaite bowled a heavy ball and showed the benefit of an extra year after turning under 16s. James Taipari had a quiet yet determined steel about him. Joel Fortmann and Jarrod Trueman both have plenty of ability and just need to harness it. Yuvraj Mengi and Akash Padavala have the making of a formidable spin combination, while Azaan Syed showed commendable dedication. They may not have had the seasons they would have liked, but Krish Patel, Shervin Krishna- Sharma and Talhah Tahir showed glimpses of the ability that had them playing higher grades at other clubs. Special thanks to Thanay ‘Little T’ Gowda for sub-fielding and assisting at many of our matches. To reiterate the point, one of the best things that we can do for our youth is to turn off MyCricket and actually watch them at the game and during training. The fact is our lower grade home grounds don’t always make for free-scoring or free-playing cricket, so it’s more valuable to see how the players go about what they do as opposed to the final score. It’s about how many balls they face, and how many balls they bowl, not how many runs they make or wickets they take. As a club, we need to embrace the promotion of youth and provide them with opportunities in Premier Cricket. Because if we don’t, a few other clubs out there will. Another important point is that these are the players who are willing to work hard and improve, so they should be given the opportunities to push themselves – both on the field and at training. We understand that we will always have to fend for ourselves at times, but once again, I’d love to see the concept of the ‘Metro net’ abolished. Both youngsters and older players will stand to benefit from some skill and information cross-pollination as opposed to a rote repetition against the same bowlers.

20 years and counting As we have for the last 20 years, we’ll prepare to graduate a number of our players on to Premier Cricket, while welcoming new players both young and old next season. After one of the closest and most hard-fought seasons in recent memory, it seems that the monopolies held by Penrith and Gordon have somewhat faded and just about any team can now win on their day. And it’s still a vital platform for younger players to transition into men’s cricket, while providing an outlet for many a dedicated clubman.

As a club, we can’t ignore the fact that our catchment is geographically constrained, expands both sides of Anzac Parade and the competition is fierce amongst our neighbours; after 20 years, there really should be no taking sides – we are all one club… Randwick Petersham. A big thanks to Jay Patel for his assistance in running the Green team this year, organising the lower grade players at training and always putting the needs of the club ahead of his own. I’m sure that he would have preferred more success, but did a sterling job of providing the younger players with development opportunities. We are always thankful to Club Coach Greg Small, who provides us with the support and backing that allows us to perform as we need to. He’s been instrumental in helping develop my captaincy while the side was very grateful for his support at Castle Hill in our last round game. Thank you to our President Mike Whitney, whose unyielding support is always appreciated, and it was wonderful to be able to put on a show for him when he came to watch us play UNSW. And finally, thanks again to the parents who supported us at various stages throughout the season, particularly when it came to duties such as scoring and covers.

Metropolitan Cup – Points of Interest 2020-21 The Metropolitan Cup this season consisted of 14 rounds (including a bye), where the fixtures followed Premier Cricket, but the season finished one week earlier. Sydney University fielded a second team in the competition for the first time, as Sutherland and Eastern Suburbs did not field teams. In round 1, a consummate bowling and fielding effort setup victory for Gold against Hawkesbury at Bensons Lane 3. Thanush Gowda took his best bowling figures for the club with 3-11, Ashish Bhat took 3 wickets in his three debut overs, while Guru Chandar had an excellent all-round debut with 2-11 and 35* to lead a bonus point victory. In round 2, Jeremy Jastrzab passed 50 wicket-keeping dismissals for the club in Metropolitan Cup en route to 4 dismissals (3 caught, 1 stumping) in Warringah’s first innings score of 67 at Snape Park. Only two players have reached this milestone previously - George Frazakis and Damian Sidney. In round 3, at Kanebridge Oval against North West Sydney, Charith De Silva become the leading wicket taker for Randwick Petersham in the Metropolitan Cup, going past Adam Lee (128) and finishing the season with 136 wickets. Green recorded their only win of the season with a team effort against Blacktown at Whalan Oval. In round 5, Alan Xu hit his maiden 50 for Gold, with 65* (following up an unselfish 47 in round 3) on a 40 degree day at Balmoral Oval against Mosman to setup a total of 6-226, while newcomer Jack Ellery made 43. Jackson Dodd took 3-22 with superb death bowling. Round 6 was the annual Coogee derby, and prodigal son Damian Sidney took Gold to an imposing 266 with his maiden cricketing ton (107) - which came off no more than 45 balls - while ably supported by Ashish Bhat (58). In reply for Green, Asif Rasheed hit 66, as he and Sean Rushton (52) gave the Golds a scare. In round 9, Ashish Bhat took 4-21 in a spirited defence of only 108 against Sydney University Blue at Snape Park. In round 10, Luke Takacs was the shining light with 65* in a total of 124 against Gordon at Beauchamp Park. In round 11, Gold played an all-time thriller against reigning premiers and ladder leaders UNSW at Kensington Oval. There were solid contributions with the bat all-round, with the returning Daniel Davies (40) holding together the middle order, and Jordan Segal giving his first glimpse of potential with a brutal 36 in the death overs to take the score to 190. In reply, Ben Thomas returned to form with 3-22, Valmik Ahire controlled the middle with 2-28 and prodigal son Denesh Hewa-Gamage took 3-45. Incidentally, this was Denesh’s first game for Randwick Petersham 6 days short of 10 years. In round 12, Adam Coombs tore through Blacktown at Petersham Oval, leaving them reeling at 4-14 and on a hat-trick. Unfortunately, the hat-trick ball was dropped, but “Coombsy” would go on to take 4-26. After dismissing Blacktown for 135, Jordan Segal marshalled the successful chase and scored his maiden 50 in the process. In round 13, after being dismissed for 59 in the first innings, Gold recovered to score 7-287 second time around and avoid outright defeat against Sydney University Gold at St Paul’s. Asif Rasheed scored a breezy 73, while Jordan Segal used the time at the crease to score his maiden cricket hundred (110) including 46 out of 54 scored for the 7th wicket. Jordan also became the youngest player to score a hundred in the Metropolitan Cup for us, at 14 years and 310 days. In round 14, Valmik Ahire led the bowling attack for Gold on a slow burning day against North West Sydney at Charles McLaughlin Reserve, and was well complemented by E-Young Khoo (3-16). He took 5-33 off 21.1 overs to complete his maiden 5- fer for Randwick Petersham early on day 2. Two pairs of brothers started in the field on day 2: Jackson & William Dodd and Thanush & Thanay Gowda. In reply, Denesh Hewa-Gamage made 59 and John Stewart 36 as they first weathered early damage of 3-28 in pursuit of 177 and then set up a successful chase. Against Warringah at Kensington Oval, Milan Lambert scored a patient 59 to lead a valiant pursuit of 180 for Green. Gold qualified for finals in 5th place and travelled to Mike Pawley to take on Warringah. Winning the toss and bowling first in sultry conditions, Ashish Bhat led the attack with three wickets in his first spell unbroken with 13 overs to lunch. He returned later in the innings to complete his maiden Randy Petes 5-fer (5-22). Falling to 5-49 in pursuit of 86 to win on first innings, Ashish and Jordan Segal saw us home on the first day, with Jordan bringing up another 50 in another successful chase. With rain washing out day 2, we would have been eliminated without this result. Having qualified for the Metropolitan Cup semi-finals for the first time since 2016-17, the match against Mosman at Allan Border Oval was washed out without a ball bowled, as was the last semi-final we qualified for. In the Metropolitan Cup overall, Jordan Segal and Asif Rasheed finished 3rd and 4th on the runs tally with 302 and 294 runs respectively. Ashish Bhat finished 5th on the wickets tally with 20 and equal 3rd on catches with 8. Jeremy Jastrzab finished the leading wicket-keeper with 19 dismissals (17 catches, 2 stumpings).

A Golden Run – Metropolitan Cup Gold and their Road to the Finals Round 1 v Hawkesbury @ Bensons Lane 3 – Gold 4-95 defeated Hawkesbury 94 by 6 wickets (1 bonus point) Getting sent to Bensons Lane turned out a blessing in disguise, as anything north-west of Richmond Rd missed the pouring rain. Winning the toss and electing to bowl, the Hawks had a steady start, which gave way to an immaculate fielding display, with 9 out of 10 dismissals being caught. Ashish Bhat (3-17) took a wicket in each of his first three overs, Guru Chandar (2-11) controlled the middle overs and Thanush Gowda (3-11) cleaned up the tail. After slumping to 4-32, Yogesh Wanzare (21*) and Guru Chandar (35*) saved our blushes to take us home with a bonus point in tow… and 15 minutes before a torrential downpour. Round 2 v Warringah @ Snape – Gold 8-67 defeated Warringah 66 by 2 wickets (2 bonus points) Further inclement weather made the choice to bowl first a simple one, and Warringah obliged to justify the decision. Ben Thomas (2-12) started the rot in his return match, while the wiles of Charith De Silva (3-22) proved too much for a young batting line up. Jack Braithwaite bowled with pace and aggression, while Ashish Bhat (2-17) and the spinners cleaned up. After a couple of early wickets, it looked like Deakin Antaw and Yogesh Wanzare (21) had steadied the ship, before another collapse left us at 6-51. Jack (20) took use to the brink, before we limped over the target 8 down but with 2 bonus points. Round 3 v North West Sydney @ Kanebridge – Gold 5-202 defeated NWS 166 by 36 runs We batted first with temperatures predicted to hit 40 degrees. Neale Crawford (39) led the way initially, Alan Xu (47) and Yogesh Wanzare (33) controlled the middle, while Ashish Bhat (30*) took us past 200. In reply, the bowlers were brave in oppressive conditions, with Charith De Silva becoming our highest wicket taker in the Metropolitan Cup. After the pace bowlers held the line, Guru Chandar (3-24) and Thanush Gowda (2-37) made use of the escalating run rate to keep the target far out of reach. Round 4 v Sydney University Blue @ St Paul’s – Gold 84 defeated by Sydney Uni. Blue 191 by 107 runs Sydney University Blue won the toss and batted on a beautiful deck in picturesque surroundings. Outside of a major partnership in the middle, the contest was tightly fought as Jackson Dodd (3-31) and Jack Braithwaite (3-39) backed up their impressive opening spells with mature death bowling. The target was gettable, but we weren’t able to recover from a disastrous start that had us reeling at 3-14, then 6-27. Ashish Bhat (19*) and Jackson Dodd (21) added a modicum of respectability but the team fell well short. Round 5 v Mosman @ Balmoral – Gold 6-226 defeated Mosman 184 by 42 runs On another 40 degree day, and thankfully another toss won, the batters went one better from two weeks before as Neale Crawford (50) took apart a tired attack, while Alan Xu (65*) once again marshalled the order and Jack Ellery (43) provided the end innings boost. Mosman shook the foundations early, and at the half way mark were well on track with numbers 3 and 4 making use of excellent batting conditions. Charith De Silva (3-35) provided the much needed breakthroughs, and from there Thanush Gowda (2-33) was able to apply the squeeze before Jackson Dodd (3-22) once again was able to clean up at the death.

Round 6 v RP Green @ Coogee – Gold 266 defeated Green 216 by 50 runs The annual Coogee derby was highlighted with a brutal century from prodigal son, Damian Sidney (107), to take the Gold team from a good score to a great score. He was ably supported by Ashish Bhat (58) and Yogesh Wanzare (31). In reply, Asif Rasheed (68) and Sean Rushton (52) gave the Golds a mighty scare, but with their dismissals the rest of the side were not able to keep up the momentum. E-Young Khoo (2-17) made the important breakthroughs, while Thanush Gowda (2-36) helped the squeeze and Yogesh Wanzare (3-19) picked up some cheeky wickets at the end. Round 7 v Sydney University Gold @ Snape – Gold 115 defeated by Sydney Uni. Gold 3-118 by 7 wickets After winning the toss and electing to bat on a beautiful Snape deck, Angus Beaumont (25) and Neale Crawford (26) gave us a solid start but our innings never got the required momentum, and spluttered to a below-par score in the face of disciplined and at-the-batsmen bowling. At one stage, we had an outside chance to push for victory when Sydney Uni Gold were 3-50, but weren’t able to keep the pressure as their team mostly made up of Green Shield players took them over the line. Round 8 Bye Round 9 v Sydney University Blue @ Snape – Gold 108 defeated by Sydney Uni. Blue 6-110 by 4 wickets Losing the toss this time and being put into bat, the start was far from ideal as we collapsed to 6-35. The bottom half of the order fought to take the score to something remotely defendable. Sydney Uni Blue raced to 54 without loss, before Ashish Bhat (4-21) bowled an impressive spell with the support of Thanush Gowda (2-29) to take 6-51 and send a scare through the students. Round 10 v Gordon @ Beauchamp – Gold 124 defeated by Gordon 4-128 by 6 wickets Choosing to bat first on a deck that looked like it would crumble later in the day, some ordinary umpiring cut us off at the knees and all batsmen apart from Luke Takacs (65*), who played an absolute blinder, struggled to get going. Our bowling was never able to get going as the pitch began to die out, and Gordon strolled home. Round 11 v UNSW @ Kensington – Gold 190 defeated UNSW 183 by 7 runs The match against the reigning premiers and ladder leaders was a must win. Winning the toss in favourable conditions, the batting was solid but only Daniel Davies (40) stood out. At an indifferent 6-139 with 10 overs to go, Jordan Segal (36) smashed us to a defendable score. A superb start for us had UNSW 3-35 in 10 overs; they refused to go away even after Valmik Ahire (2-28) bossed the middle overs to have them 6-128 at the last drinks. A pulsating arm-wrestle of a final session ensued, as catches were dropped, yet Denesh Hewa-Gamage (3-45) still took us to the brink. The final wicket stand got them to within 8 runs, until number 11 smacked to point, Ashish Bhat, off Ben Thomas (3-22) to set off riotous celebrations and appreciation for a ripping game of cricket. Round 12 v Blacktown @ Petersham – Gold 175 defeated Blacktown 135 & 3-76 on first innings In the first two-day game of the season, we won the toss and bowled on a return to Petersham. On a damp track, Adam Coombs (4-26) decimated the Blacktown top-order to leave them 4-14 and find himself on a hat-trick. Even with the hat-trick missed, Blacktown spluttered in-between rain breaks to finish at 135, with Jackson Dodd (3-12) cleaning up the lower order. Starting the second day on 0-3, wickets fell at uncomfortable intervals to have the game on a knife’s edge at 6-90, before a nerveless showing from Jordan Segal (50) and E-Young Khoo guaranteed there were no more jitters in passing the score. Round 13 v Sydney University Gold @ St Paul’s – Gold 59 & 8-287 defeated by Sydney Uni. Gold 5-196 (dec) on first innings Coming off two wins, the season was almost derailed in 24 manic overs at St Pauls Oval. After starting well with the ball, Sydney Uni Gold got away to leave us with a massive deficit going into day two. We came back the following week with a clear plan and much better application; Asif Rasheed (73) led the way in humid conditions and we were only 10 runs behind at tea. Needing to bat again and still take a number of wickets, student shoulders dropped and Jordan Segal (110) made use of perfect batting conditions to bring up his maiden cricketing ton and give us momentum for the next few weeks. Round 14 v North West Sydney @ Charles McLaughlin Reserve – Gold 6-180 defeated NWS 176 by 4 wickets The equation in the final regular season game was simple – win to qualify. North West Sydney won the toss and batted on a dead pitch, failing to show any intent. Runs came at less than two-an-over as all the bowlers battled hard on an arduous day. E-Young Khoo (3-16) made something happen after drinks, but at 6-142 with 10 overs to go, the day threatened a stalemate. Valmik Ahire then used his experience to conjure three wickets – all bowled – and at 9-154, the day was ours. North West showed more intent on second day and swung the bat to eat up 7 overs and leave 177 to chase – with Valmik (5-33) taking the last wicket to complete a well-deserved 5-fer. After some early trouble at 3-28, Denesh Hewa-Gamage (59) and John Stewart (36) first consolidated then made a move as the stamina of North West was tested. With 88 runs needed off the last 23 overs in the regular season, 3 more wickets fell but Ashish Bhat and Jackson Dodd played superb hands at the death to take the target with 4 overs to spare. Qualifying Final v Warringah @ Mike Pawley – Gold 7-125 defeated Warringah 85 on first innings While it wasn’t until the next day that we knew we had to win on day one, the team was fired up and keen to get straight into action, so we bowled first after winning the toss. Ashish Bhat led the team in word and deed; after Jackson Dodd took the opening wicket, Ashish steamed through 13 overs unchanged while taking three wickets, and E-Young Khoo capped our session to have the Warringah 5-38 at lunch. Two more quick wickets followed before Warringah mounted a brief comeback. The reintroduction of Ashish (5-22) sealed their fate, as he and Thanush Gowda cleaned up the tail. Chasing 85 in 35 overs, tremors shook through the camp as the batting collapsed to 4-23, then 5-49. But once again, it was the remarkably steady yet powerful hand of Jordan Segal (51) that steadied the ship and got us over the total with 14 overs and 5 wickets to spare, as the remaining batsmen saw out the day. The heavens opened overnight and our passage was secured thanks to a scarcely believable team effort on the first day. Semi Final v Mosman @ Allan Border – Wash out Our first semi-final since 2016-17 was an unfortunate washout after a weekend of record rainfall across Sydney.

The Award Winners 2020-21

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

Riley Ayre Two seasons ago, Riley Ayre was our Player of the Season. And after the brilliant performance he turned in this season, it will be no surprise to anyone that he has once again taken out that award. Put simply, Riley had an amazing summer. It was claimed two summers ago that he was one of the best all-rounders in the 1st Grade competition and his efforts this season confirm that assessment. He topped the batting with 798 runs and was second only to Adam Semple in the most wickets contest with 27. Riley joined us in 2017-18 as a left-arm orthodox spin bowler and low order bat. He batted no. 8 or 9 and sometimes, 7, in those days. Now he bats at 4 and is one of the most consistent performers in the side. He scored 533 in the regular part of the Belvidere Cup competition, 125 in the Limited Overs and 140 in the Twenty20 competitions. And while his highest score in his first three seasons was only 87, he set that performance aside with a maiden 1st Grade century, hitting 108 against Bankstown at Bankstown Oval in a display of outstanding concentration, lasting 326 minutes. And to show his versatility when the situation demanded it, he had a second ton, belting 106 off 115 balls with 11 fours and two sixes in the Limited Overs Cup semi-final against Manly-Warringah, setting the scene for a premiership win by his team. He also scored five half-centuries and hit 70 boundaries and 12 sixes. On many occasions he was the backbone of the innings. With the ball, his 27 wickets included a 5-71 off 27 overs performance against Sutherland and 4-65 from 24 overs in defeating Blacktown Mounties. His club record now stands at 2,182 runs and 98 wickets in 1st Grade. While Riley won the 2018-19 Player of the Season Award by 56 points, his dominance this season is illustrated by the fact he won it by a mammoth 157! And he was ever so close to making it three in a row when he finished runner-up by just 29 points to Jason Sangha, last season. Riley is a serious cricketer in every sense of the word and would not be out of place in a team wearing the Baggy Blue cap of NSW.

CLUB MEMBER OF THE YEAR - PLAYER The Tim Towers / Stuart Gardner Memorial Award Tim Towers was a left-hand fast bowler with Randwick. He died in 1991 from cancer aged 36. Tim took 233 wickets in 11 seasons and played in Randwick’s 1977-78 and 1979-80 1st Grade premiership teams. The Tim Towers Clubman of the Year was first presented by Randwick in 1991. Stuart Gardner was a left-hand spin bowler with Petersham-Marrickville. He died in 1994 from cancer aged 51. Stuart played for 25 seasons taking 510 wickets and scoring 3,294 runs. He played in the 1st Grade premiership team of 1974-75 and was made a Life Member of the club in 1991. The Stuart Gardner Clubman of the Year Award was first presented by Petersham-Marrickville in 1994.

Fabian Heaton That Fabian Heaton would be named the Randwick Petersham Cricket Club Member of the Year will come as no surprise to anyone connected with the club. He first played when he joined Randwick in its last season–2000-01. He scored half-centuries in 4th Grade, 5ths and Metropolitan Cup as well as completing 18 dismissals as wicket-keeper. The winner of an Encouragement Award, he was referred to as one of the club’s “exciting young players” despite the fact he was a spritely 36. He played in the same grades in Randwick Petersham’s first season scoring over 400 runs and earning the description of a “class” bat and “brilliant” wicket-keeper from 5th Grade skipper Alan Wright. And it was in that same vein, how he played his cricket over the following 10 seasons, finally pulling up stumps at the end of 2011-12 after 123 games. His best seasons were in 4th Grade in 2004-05 and 2005-06 when he scored centuries against Sydney University (108*) and University of NSW (112). The second of those was a premiership season where he was considered to be “the heartbeat of the side” and given the nom de plume “The Little Master” by his grateful and victorious captain, David Townsend. A number of seasons playing ”Golden Oldies” cricket followed, but in 2018-19, the 54 year old was back! The talented cricket “elder” heeded the call to return to the playing ranks to guide the club’s many youngsters in preparation for their entry into the higher grades. As captain of the club’s 5th Grade team these past three seasons, Fabian has led by example with some outstanding personal performances taking his record to 3,643 runs and 216 dismissals, while providing youth every opportunity to develop, perform and enjoy their cricket. A master tactician with the ability to impart his experience and knowledge in a trusting and purposeful manner, he has been the perfect role model at a time when the club has needed his skills the most. One of nature’s gentlemen, it is fitting in every respect, that our playing Club Member of the Year for 2020-21 is Fabian Heaton.

CLUB MEMBER OF THE YEAR – NON PLAYER The Bernie Bayley Memorial Award Sponsored by Margaret Bayley Bernie Bayley was a popular and enthusiastic volunteer who was manager of the 2nd Grade team for five years prior to his death in February 2009. Bernie’s wife, Margaret, sponsors this award on behalf of the Bayley Family.

Adrian Dodd Adrian Dodd's sons represent Randwick Petersham with his eldest, Jackson, developing into a fine all- rounder, in 5th Grade / Metro. While his youngest, Will, is a confident opening bat who played in AWGS/Metro., Adrian, over the past 2 seasons has provided great support of the club and becoming a valued member. On match days, his enthusiasm is infectious and he is a captain's dream being a person who is willing to go above and beyond to assist the team. To engender club spirit, he generously donated the fridge at Snape to allow for club drinks after training.

MOST PROMISING PLAYER IN THE CLUB The Keith Austin Memorial Award Keith Austin was a long-time player and supporter of the Randwick club before his death in 1948. This award was first presented by his sons Alan and Stan in 1949 and continued for 62 years before being withdrawn by the family in 2011. Alan died in 2016. In recognition of the Austin family’s outstanding contribution for more than half a century, the club has maintained this award.

Puru Gaur Puru Gaur is a very exciting cricketer as well as a promising one. Born in Delhi, India, in 1999, the Delhi High School product ventured to Australia in 2019 with the sole purpose of developing his cricket. A punishing and at times, solid right hand bat, he joined Wests CC in Newcastle scoring 646 runs for the season. He made five half-centuries and 115 in a 1st Grade opening partnership of 230. He confirmed that form when he joined Randwick Petersham this season, ending with a total of 669 runs across all competitions, including 301 in 1st Grade and a record 367 in Poidevin-Gray. Forced to bat down the list in a strong batting line-up, it was a slow start to NSW Premier Cricket for the talented youngster, totalling just 39 1st Grade runs by Christmas. However, the tide turned in the very first match of the New Year when he scored a brilliant 92* off just 75 balls with five fours and five towering sixes in a LO match against Western Suburbs at Pratten Park. He came to the wicket at 4-102 that day and joined Riley Ayre in a partnership of 139, which set-up the team for a convincing win. But his most valuable and important innings occurred two matches later playing Sutherland at Glenn McGrath Oval. Chasing 241, the side was struggling at 6-86 before Puru got together with club “Iron Warrior” Adam Semple. The pair batted purposely and cautiously knocking up an unconquered partnership of 158 to take the points. Gaur’s share was 61* off 125 balls with Semple scoring 86* off 143. Despite the precarious situation, Puru still managed to hit three over the fence in an impressive performance of skill and concentration. His development is sure to be followed with great interest.

MOST PROMISING METROPOLITAN CUP PLAYER The Don Wright Memorial Award Sponsored by Alan Wright Don Wright was the father of Alan and Peter Wright, both long-term playing members of Randwick and Life Members of Randwick Petersham who have served on the Management Committee since 2001- 02. Alan has been Chairman of Selectors while both have been Delegates to the Association.

Ashish Bhat At the new player trials held at the beginning of this season, one odd fellow stood out, not necessarily for his skills but for his jovial and happy-go-lucky nature, as well as having his shirt tucked in. What we soon came to realise was that under this, lay a heart of gold and resolve of steel. On debut, Ashish Bhat took a wicket in each of his first three overs to send the Gold team on the way to an opening win against Hawkesbury at Bensons Lane. He had a happy knack of picking up wickets, but sometimes struggled with control. Undeterred, through hard work and perseverance, he came to be one of our most reliable bowlers, marrying that happy knack with control through the middle of the season, with figures of 4-21 and 2-20 in post-Christmas losses. With an idiosyncratic technique and (surprising) clarity of mind, his season was dotted with batting cameos, including a maiden 58 at this season’s Metro derby, and 22* which helped seal a finals spot. In a must win qualifying final, Ashish regaled the team with a stirring speech; backing up his words with a marathon effort of 18 over taking 5 wickets for 22 runs to help bowl Warringah out for 85. Not content with this, Ash also was at the crease when the first innings points were taken. A reliable fielder, he finished the season with 8 catches all over the park, 195 runs at 17.73, 20 wickets at 15.05 and a 5th Grade debut in the second last round.

MOST IMPROVED LOWER GRADE PLAYER The Burke and Davies Families Award Sponsored by former Randwick batsmen Chris Burke and Ross Davies Kevin Burke was a senior vice president of Randwick who first presented this award in 1976. Kevin died in 1998. Chris Burke is a nephew of Kevin and a former long-term lower grade player with Randwick Haydn Davies, father of Life Member Ross, was a vice president and great supporter of Randwick who died in 1984. His memorial award was first presented in 1992. Ross’ brother Peter was the captain of Randwick’s first 5th Grade team in 1978 which made the semis. He died in May 2002.

Joshua Segal In 2017-18, Joshua Segal was recognised in his first season as the Metropolitan Cup Player of the Year. In the Annual Report of that season, it was stated that “It’s the inner steel and drive to recover from the early blows alongside his burgeoning capability in all facets of the game that Josh has shown, that led to a dip in the 5th Grade pool and much warranted excitement for subsequent seasons.” Three seasons later, his ability as a stand-alone batsman came to fruition in the second half of the season. He was a mainstay in 3rd Grade and his 93 to defeat Hawkesbury was an outstanding innings as was his 57 in the defeat of Sydney Uni. “Seags” is a worthy recipient of this award finishing the season with 328 runs at 21.87.

BEST A W GREEN SHIELD PLAYER The Cartwright Insurances Award Sponsored by Cartwright Insurances Cartwright Insurances has presented this award since 1975 courtesy of the late Len Cartwright, who was a 1st Grade wicketkeeper / batsman with Randwick and a member of the Randwick Petersham ”Legends” for many years. Len passed away on 7 November 2012 aged 85 years.

Will Deller Ever since he followed his older brother, Alex, to Whalan Oval as an 11 year old, William Deller has been looking to leave his mark on the AW Green Shield competition. After playing a support role the previous season, Will took front and centre stage this season as the team’s vice captain and lead all-rounder. While his fiery competitiveness wouldn’t have been too pleased with the overall results, he did finish the team’s leading run scorer with 137 runs at 22.83, and leading wicket taker with 10 wickets at 20.40, as well as taking a catch and a pair of run outs. While statistically, 40* and 3-31 against Sydney may look good on paper, it was his 37 and 2-37 against Fairfield-Liverpool in sweltering conditions that put the team’s campaign back on track after a rough start. It was certainly the crowning achievement that January.

BEST A W GREEN SHIELD PERFORMANCE The Col Hollingsworth Memorial Award Sponsored by Randwick’s first Test player and NSW captain John Benaud Col Hollingsworth was a gifted young cricketer who died tragically at the age of 23 in 1966. He played for four years in the Petersham-Marrickville A W Green Shield team before going on to captain NSW Colts. He was a 1st grader at 16.The Col Hollingsworth Memorial Award was first presented by the Petersham-Marrickville club in 1967.

Josh Bird Having been first identified at Green Shield trials prior to season 2018-19, Josh Bird–the younger brother of Lachie–showed that even though he wasn’t the biggest player there, his heart and tenacity stood out. Come season 2019-20, and Josh had the opportunity to put that potential to play on the field. Against Campbelltown-Camden, with the fixtures playing musical chairs, we still had an outside opportunity of making finals after beating Fairfield-Liverpool two days prior. The Ghosts had started well and their captain (who had been playing 2nd Grade) took the game to our bowlers. At 2-69, it looked like a long day in the field, before a run-out took place and Josh got to deploy his accurate off-breaks to make use of a tired pitch. He got the opposition skipper to haul out to Max Robinson at mid-on, after which the Ghosts got spooked. Their number 6 tried to take on the cow boundary, only to find Sriram Suresh, while their last three wickets fell for 5 runs, as Josh induced a pair of edges to Max at slip to sandwich an assisted run-out. Campbelltown-Camden lost their last 8 wickets for 29 runs and Josh finished with 4-21 - our best figures in the 2020-21 campaign.

BEST POIDEVIN GRAY PLAYER The Clive Johnston Memorial Award Sponsored by former Petersham-Marrickville 1st Grade father and son batsmen John and Corey Pearson Clive Johnston was an outstanding player with the Petersham and Petersham-Marrickville clubs, captaining 1st Grade for 17 of his 21 seasons. He was in three premiership winning teams and scored 9,407 Grade Cricket runs. He also played for NSW on 11 occasions including a number as captain. Clive was the club President when died in 1991 and this award was presented for the first time by Petersham-Marrickville that same year.

Puru Gaur Twenty year old newcomer, Puru Gaur, had a brilliant introduction to under 21 Poidevin-Gray cricket, racking up an impressive 367 runs–the most by any batsman in the club’s 20 year history. It was also the second highest aggregate in the competition, just 13 behind Sydney CCs, Harry Manenti, who hit 380. While his performances in 1st Grade were more than meritorious, he was clearly a dominating factor in the PGs competition. His scores were 31, 53, 115, 6, 76, and 86*. His highlight was of course, his century against Gordon at Chatswood Oval. His 115 came batting no. 3 off 134 balls with nine fours and a six. He and Lachie Bird (51*), put on 121 in just 75 minutes for the sixth wicket–a new club record. He also had a chance of picking up another two tons, firstly being unluckily adjudged lbw for 76 off 93 balls against Sutherland at Coogee, while playing University of NSW, he remained 86* off 125 when the winning runs were scored, bringing the game to an end. Earlier Puru scored his first half- century for the club making 53, opening against St George. And while his 367 runs was a new club record, so was his season average of 73.40.

THE KEN DEVLIN MEMORIAL AWARDS The Devlin family of Madge, Stephen and Peter continue to support this award in honour of their husband and father the late Ken Devlin.

MOST RUNS: Riley Ayre 533 In the 15 rounds of the Belvidere Cup, which qualifies Riley Ayre for this award, he scored 533 runs at the excellent average of 44.42. In that number were four half-centuries while he cracked a maiden century in round 3 against Bankstown at Bankstown Oval hitting a brilliant 108 made in a massive 326 minutes off 247 balls with 12 boundaries. Against Penrith, he scored 57 in a partnership of 103 with Tim Affleck. He also put on 139 for the fifth wicket with Puru Gaur playing Wests at Pratten Park contributing 68 off just 73 balls with six fours and two sixes. Riley was again a standout against Sydney University at Coogee, making 50 in a total of just 145. But his performance against Manly-Warringah at Manly Oval may well be argued as his best. In an innings when the side was humbled to be out for its worst-ever score of 98 against the Sea Eagles, Ayre went in to bat at 2-36 and scored 47 of the next 48 runs before being caught behind for a scoreline of 5-84. And with the team’s back to the wall in the second dig, he remained 56* off 168 balls to prevent an outright defeat. And while his runs in the Limited Overs Cup and Twenty20 Cup don’t count for this award, it is worth mentioning that in his 265 runs in those competitions, he scored a second hundred making 106 off just 115 balls with 11 fours and two sixes in the Limited Overs Cup semi-final against Manly-Warringah. In all comps, Riley hit 70 fours and 12 sixes during the season to take his club tally to 2,182 runs.

MOST WICKETS: Adam Semple 25 For a player who has taken 383 1st Grade wickets for the club–151 more than next best Daniel Sams– it’s difficult to comprehend that this is the first time Adam Semple has won this award. And in a strange twist, he has won it in a season where his availability was restricted due to new baby and family commitments. Adam played in only 10 of the 15 Belvidere Cup rounds taking 25 wickets at the brilliant average of just 19.00. A real “Iron Warrior”, he took wickets in the nine innings in which he bowled, with 5-21 off nine overs against Western Suburbs at Pratten Park his best. That day, he took a wicket with his first and third balls to have the Magpies reeling at 2-0. It was his seventh career “five-for”. He also took a wicket first ball in the win over Penrith while his 4-23 off 12.2 overs helped knock over Hawkesbury for just 132 and set up another good win. Returns of 3-47 off 10 overs and 3-56 from 24 playing UTS North Sydney emphasised his consistency. In other matches which did not count towards this award, Adam took the first three wickets to have red-hot favourite Manly-Warringah on the ropes at 3-37 in the Limited Overs Cup semi-final. His 3-25 that day ensured the side a place in the Grand Final which led to premiership glory. The champion all-rounder created another milestone when he passed the 6,000 1st Grade runs mark during the season. An award win by a simply brilliant cricketer.

WICKETKEEPING AWARD for MOST DISMISSALS The David Sherwood Memorial Award Sponsored by Geoff Cartwright on behalf of the Cartwright Family David Sherwood was scorer of the Randwick 1st Grade team for 52 years. He made six overseas tours as scorer for the Australian team before his death in 1985. The Sydney Cricket Association 5th Grade trophy bears his name.

Anthony Sams—25 dismissals Champion wicket-keeper Anthony Sams has taken out this award for the seventh time in the past 11 years. And there is no disputing the “champion” tag as he completed the season with a club career tally of 401 dismissals in 1st Grade. Needless to say, he is the first to achieve such a milestone in the history of the club and its founders. It was a season of milestones for the talented stumper. In the first round, his two catches took him past Andrew Millican’s all-time record of 363 1st Grade dismissals but he had to wait until round 14 to snare his 400th. He also snared six dismissals in the most important match of the season–the Grand Final of the Limited Overs Cup which was won. Having top-scored with 44 he deservedly took out the Man-of-the-Grand-Final award. He capped a brilliant season by passing the 5,500 1st Grade runs milestone after scoring 565 to take him to 5,678. He also hit his ninth century to confirm himself as one of the most outstanding all-rounders to play for the club. What a cricketer!

THE FIELDING AWARD The Johnny Martin Memorial Award Sponsored by Talisman Marketing through former Randwick batsman Mark Sundin Johnny Martin was a left-hand “Chinaman” bowler who played 77 times for NSW and 8 times for Australia. In 15 seasons with Petersham-Marrickville he took 414 Grade wickets, scored 3,190 runs and was a superb fieldsman holding 72 catches. He captained the 1st Grade side and won three premierships. The Johnny Martin Memorial Award was first awarded by Petersham-Marrickville in 1993 following his death a year earlier.

Riley Ayre When you are considered the complete cricketer with outstanding batting and bowling skills, it goes almost without saying that your fielding will be at a similar level. And so it is with Riley Ayre, this season’s Player of the Season. And while he thrilled everybody with his batting and bowling performances in the centre of the ground, his efforts in the field were just as dynamic. An extremely versatile fielder, he was great support for the new ball bowlers as an agile and safe slipper while he was excellent in the ring or as a boundary rider. A quick mover to the ball, he possesses a strong and accurate throwing arm, much to the peril of many pursuing a cheeky single. His 12 1st Grade catches this season took his record to 38 in just four seasons.

THE PRESIDENT’S AWARD The award is presented from time to time to a person who the President, Mike Whitney AM determines, has made a significant contribution to Randwick Petersham and the game of cricket. Peter Devlin It is easy to understand why our esteemed President has nominated Peter Devlin as the winner of this very special award. Peter has served Randwick Petersham Cricket and Randwick CC before that, for almost 50 years as a player, a 1st Grade captain, a coach, a selector, a mentor, a grounds advisor, a committee member and in a number of various other roles, all of which have had a single purpose—to benefit the club. He has been an active menber of the Management Committee for the past 12 years and continues to contribute to the well-being and development of the club and its members, with the same enthusiasm as he did when he first arrived at Coogee Oval. Peter made his debut with Randwick in 4th Grade in 1973-74, going on to complete 27 seasons as a player and proving himself to be one of Randwick / Randwick Petersham’s greatest all-rounders with a career record of 5,379 runs and 619 wickets at all levels. In 1st Grade he played 153 matches scoring 2,138 runs and taking 200 wickets. In 2001, Devlin took on the demanding job of Club Coach in Randwick Petersham’s first season. He was at the coaching helm of seven premierships and a Club Championship in the eight years to the end of the 2008-09 season when he vacated the position. He then captained the 5th Grade side for two seasons before retiring at age 51. He was awarded Life Membership in 1999 and 17 years later, was named the recipient of Randwick Petersham’s coveted Ernie Toshack Award. As part of a family who shares his commitment, this award to Peter carries with it the thanks from all at Randwick Petersham for a lifetime of dedication, devotion and loyalty.

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

Dale Hackney Dale Hackney joined the Randy Petes following an introduction from Chris Sullivan. His Clubmanship, friendly nature and dedication was evident throughout pre-season and these qualities led to him being asked to assist as Vice-Captain in 4th Grade. On the field; he enthused the team behind the stumps and by his standards would have enjoyed a few more runs. Furthermore, his involvement in the club extended to an invaluable mentoring role with AW Green Shield. He was also a key member of the “keeping cartel” and highlighted his dedication as a Clubman off the field where he was one of the first to answer the call. Dale’s commitment makes him a worthy recipient of the Bill Anderson Commitment Award.

THE ROBIN GARDNER / LYALL GARDNER COMMUNITY SPIRIT AWARD Sponsored by John Stewart Robin Gardner and Lyall Gardner OAM are both Life Members of the club and have been volunteers for many years. Each was awarded the Australian Sports Medal in 2000 and the 50 Years’ Service to Cricket Medal in 2010. This award is designed to recognise the work by our volunteers for the club and to the wider community throughout the Eastern Suburbs and Inner West by fostering harmonious relationships through sport.

Peter Bannigan Over the past eight seasons, Peter has captured on camera, almost every historic moment of Randwick Petersham. In 2016-17 he was honoured with the Clubman of the Year Non-Player award as the club’s official photographer and for his many photographic favours restoring many of the club’s historic photos. In 2020-21 he is duly recognised with the Community Spirit Award as it is through that friendly attitude and approach that he exudes constant support for the club at home and away matches. His trusty telescopic lens has captured some remarkable action shots which are reflected throughout this, and other, annual reports. Additionally, no request for “that special shot” is too difficult and he has certainly met the multiple requests from players for an individual or team action shot for the “Gram!” A committed and enthusiastic club member, we thank Peter for his ongoing support.

THE ENCOURAGEMENT AWARDS

THE PHIL TRESIDDER FAMILY AWARD Phil Tresidder was a Life Member and Patron of the club who died in 2003. Phil was involved with the Randwick club for 60 years and served as President for 10 years. This award is sponsored by his niece Christine Hall and her husband Christopher. Jordan Segal: In his first full season for the Randy Petes in Metro Cup, Jordie started slowly with a top score of 36 in his first four innings. But that 36 against UNSW highlighted his natural talent and power as he dominated the attack at Kensington with 32 of those runs in boundaries. His next foray at the crease was an even 50 to lead Metro Gold to victory over Blacktown at Petersham and two rounds later he made his maiden hundred (110) reversing the team’s fortunes v Sydney Uni. after a disappointing first innings. In the QF v Warringah, his 51 capped off his development over the season as he mixed smart cricket and power to blunt the attack and set the foundations for a victory. Jordie finished the season with 302 runs at 33.56 and we look forward to this form continuing.

THE PETER ROLLS AWARD Peter Rolls is a Life Member of the club and a former 1st Grade player with Petersham-Marrickville. Will Dodd: William Dodd, the younger brother of Jackson, may not have had the game time that he would have liked in Green Shield, but made up for it in spades playing Metropolitan Cup. Rather than opening the bowling, Will was thrown in to open the batting and ensure that an end was held up. Often taking on the hardest conditions in the morning, or being forced to survive late in the day, the younger Dodd showed impressive maturity and resolve to understand his limitations, soak up plenty of balls and taking pressure off more free-flowing partners at the other end. Will made sure that the middle and lower order could make hay when we beat Metro Cup ladder leaders, UNSW at Kensington, while his graft at the top took us a long way to beating Blacktown the next round. In coming years, he’ll be a handy change bowler, and his fielding efforts are improving game-by-game.

THE DUNCAN SCOTT-GLASSOCK MEMORIAL AWARD Duncan Scott-Glassock was a former 1st Grade seam bowler with Randwick in the 1970’s who died in 2006 aged just 57. This award continues in his name through the generosity of his wife Penny and family. E-Young Khoo: E-Young ‘Pingu’ Khoo has gone from strength-to-strength since coming to the club in 2015-16 to volunteer as part of his Duke of Edinburgh program. Statistics tell far from the full story, as they belied the ability of a cricketer with the maturity beyond his years. Pingu has shown the value of spending time with 1st Grade, as their work ethic and ability to read the game has certainly rubbed off on him. Intelligent and guileful with the ball, courageous and patient with the bat and ever improving in the field, Pingu could be relied upon for the important breakthrough, to be standing at the crease not out when the target was passed or endlessly encouraging his teammates in the field. On top of that, he continued to be a regular fixture at the scorer’s table at 1st Grade, Metro and AW Green Shield, as well as a tireless helper whenever anything needed to be done.

THE JOHN CONNELL AWARD John Connell has been a manager of many club teams including a number which have won premierships. Sadeep Deepak: Sadeep Deepak joined the Randy Petes this season from Mosman and exuded dedication throughout the preseason. Graded in 3s, he had the greatest impact with the ball taking 3- 46 v Manly-Warringah in his third match for the club. In the next round at Petersham, Sadeep bettered those figures with 4-31, including knocking over the top three bats in quick succession before the match ended in an exciting but heartbreaking draw. He was also a member of the PGs squad. Overall, Deepak finished with 19 wickets at 23.89 and we look forward to a greater impact on the field with bat and ball in 2021-22.

THE WAYNE MULHERIN AWARD Wayne Mulherin is a Life Member of the club and former President of Petersham-Marrickville who played Sheffield Shield cricket for NSW. Mandar Mariguddi: Mandar Mariguddi was another recruit this season having also represented the Whales. A strapping all-rounder, he was a mainstay in 3rd Grade with his best figures of 3-27 coming against Penrith at Petersham in an agonisingly close loss. Unfortunately, his power with the bat was unwitnessed. In a PGs victory over Sutherland at home, he returned best match figures of 3-24 to rip through the middle order. He was also rewarded with a couple of matches in 2s. Mandar finished the season with impressive returns of 22 wickets at 25.09.

96 The Premiers Plate

A new annual fixture on the NSW Premier Cricket calendar was introduced this season. Known as the Premiers Plate, it was a 50 overs-a-side match to be played between an SCG Invitational XI and the previous season’s Belvidere Cup premiership winners. The inaugural match, hosted by Belvidere Cup holders Randwick Petersham, was played at Coogee Oval on Sunday 28 February 2021. The Man of the Match was to be awarded the Simon Katich Medal.

The SCG team was selected from 1st Grade players with NSW Premier clubs including a number of Big Bash contracted players. It was Joshua Clarke (Captain), Anthony Mosca, Joel Davies, Damien Mortimer, Johnno Cook, Harry Manenti, Aiden Bariol, Mac Jenkins, Jackson Saggers, Chad Sammut and Devlin Malone. The umpires were Denis Hinds and John Walker.

The Randwick Petersham team was: Daya Singh (Captain), Puru Gaur, Josh Mellick, Jackson Eldridge, Adam Docos, Reuben Sachs, Vivek Mahajan, Jacob Wood, Kel Mullins, Mandar Mariguddi, Mitchell O’Loughlin and Connor O’Riordan.

Randwick Petersham batted first after skipper Daya Singh won the toss. A brisk start saw the score quickly climb to 1-73 when top-scorer Josh Mellick was out for 49 in just 61 minutes with two fours and three sixes. Puru Gaur made 26 but when he went for a 3-84 scoreline, it triggered a collapse and after just 39.4 overs, the side was all out for a below-par total of just 132. The strong SCG XI had no trouble in running down the target in only 25.3 overs with captain Joshua Clarke making 46 and Anthony Mosca 44. The final score was 2-133. Josh Clarke was awarded the Simon Katich medal as Man of the Match.

97 The Randwick Petersham Cricket Story

Our Amazing History

Randwick Petersham Cricket has one of the most amazing and fascinating histories of any club in the NSW Premier Cricket competition. Its four founding clubs--Petersham, Randwick, Marrickville and Petersham-Marrickville date back to 1899––102 years before Randwick Petersham was formed in 2001––and cover a total of 240 cricket playing seasons. Despite their stature and reputation within the Sydney Grade Cricket competition and their local communities, a documented history of each club written in any detail, has until recently, never been undertaken.

A book titled Heroes of the Ages: The Randwick Petersham Cricket Story PART 1 detailing the first half of the club’s long history during the period 1899-1951, was published in March 2019. The PART 2 book, covering the remaining years 1952-2001 was published two years later on 9 March 2021. Written by Club Historian, Lyall Gardner, over some six and a half years, Part 1 covered the whole of the life of the Petersham and Marrickville clubs and the first half of the Randwick Cricket Club. Part 2 included the second half of Randwick and the whole of the life of the Petersham- Marrickville District Cricket Club.

As was the format of Part 1, Part 2 was written in decade periods with a preface of life in Australia at that time, and presented in two volumes. The first of 545 pages detailed the activities of the two clubs while the second of 223 pages covered the biographies of 188 of the principal players and officials of the era, such as Bobby Simpson, Alan Turner, Jack Chegwyn, Clive Johnston, Geoff Davies, David Chardon, Bill Beath, Greg Hartshorne, Bill Ellison, Noel and Graeme Hughes, Gary Bensley, Johnny Martin, Trevor Jay, Wayne Mulherin, Ron Crippin, Arthur Elvy, Max Benjamin and Richard Chee Quee.

And while it is a history book about cricket and cricketers, it’s much more than that. It’s about memories. And as cricketers well know, the memories of games played and the people involved, come flooding back when the memory bank is tweaked a little. The book was also designed to give cricket lovers, supporters, followers and others connected with Randwick Petersham, an understanding of where we came from and the wonderful culture and traditions we are charged with upholding. While it is of great interest and value to present day players, officials and supporters, it has a special relevance to former players, officials, members or families whose father, brother, uncle or grandfather played with Randwick or Petersham-Marrickville cricket clubs.

A specially numbered hard-cover Part 2 Limited Edition version of 100 copies was produced and all were snapped up in the first 17 days. Similarly, the Part 2 soft-cover version was also popular and sold out quickly. Because of the size of the work, both versions comprised two volumes. With Part 1 containing 412 pages, the addition of Part 2 gave the club a written history totalling 1,180 pages. The work included 307 separate articles on those players and officials of the founding clubs who were behind the history which has now been recorded for future generations to appreciate and uphold in the years ahead.

98 Ken White—A real Hero of the Ages

During the course of writing the club history, “Heroes of the Ages”, I was intrigued by the outstanding performances throughout the 1950s of a Petersham-Marrickville off-spinner. His name was Ken White and he collected almost 400 wickets in a little over 10 seasons, taking out the bowling honours more times than not. And while I found a reasonable amount of background information on him, there were some performance gaps which I was keen to fill. Fortunately, I discovered Ken was still very much with us and living in Perth, Western Australia. I was able to contact him and I am pleased to say, that was the beginning of a long-distance friendship which continues to this day.

At 96 years of age, Ken is Randwick Petersham’s oldest surviving cricketer. When I first spoke with him, he was a spritely 90 year old who was amazed that someone was calling him from the other side of the country to discuss his exploits on the cricket field almost 60 years earlier. It was no surprise that he could not recall the specifics I was enquiring about, but a few days later all that changed. He put on his thinking cap and the memories came flooding back, which he reduced to half a dozen pages of notes before dropping them in the post to me. Needless to say, I was astounded at the detail he provided which was embellished during follow- up phone calls.

But the memory didn’t stop working and quite often Ken would call to advise me of some particular incident he had recalled. A man dedicated to his game, the emotions took over on a number of occasions as he would bring to the fore something which had been squirrelled away in the memory vault for more than half a century. We could have spoken for hours on the phone but he was always conscious that when he rang, it was close to dinner-time in Sydney and he would “let me go”–usually after about 45 to 50 minutes!

Ken began his career with the old Petersham club in 1948-49 when he was 23. He did well in those three years before the merger to form Petersham- Marrickville, with the result that he was featured towards the end of Part 1 of the history book which covered the period 1899 to 1951. It was therefore, no surprise that when it was published in March 2019, an early copy was quickly on its way to Perth.

Gushing with excitement and pride, Ken was anxious to get the 1952-2001 Part 2 edition and called me a couple of times to check on its progress. It was of concern to him, having regard to his advancing age that I estimated it would take some three years to complete. However, to allay his fears, I sent him a first draft of the 1950s decade which covered the peak of his career. That was fortuitous from my point of view as that prompted further memory recalls, adding to the detail in the history text. You can’t beat a sharp mind!

It was a happy and delighted senior Randwick Petersham cricketer, when Part 2 was published in March 2021. And in no surprise to anyone, a few hours after its release, the first Limited Edition copy, hot off the printing press, was on its way to Perth to an enthusiastic reader as the accompanying photograph clearly indicates.

True to form, a couple of weeks later, Ken rang apologising for his lateness due to a couple of “rough weeks with illness”, but extending his thanks and appreciation for the wonderful memories he experienced in reading about the early cricket days of his beloved Petersham-Marrickville DCC. And while his emotions at times got the better of him, it struck me that his reaction was an expression of great loyalty and gratitude to a club which had extended him so much friendship and enjoyment in the game he loved.

The sad thing for me in all of this is that I have never met Ken White. The tyranny of distance has prevented that. But then again, I feel I’ve known him for years through the benefits of Telstra. I also know him as a valued member of the Randwick Petersham Legends Society who continues to follow the club’s performances with keen interest.

Ken White was an excellent cricketer and a particularly fine bowler. He was a tail-end bat and never got within cooee of a century in cricket. But more importantly, he is within a century in life and will no doubt approach that milestone with all the enthusiasm and determination he displayed on the cricket field all those years ago.

We wish him well and thank him for a lifetime of dedication to the game and to the Petersham-Marrickville District Cricket Club.

Unfortunately, COVID restricted an Irishman joining the Randy Petes in 2020-21 but regardless, it was a proud moment to witness several former Overseas Scholarship recipients performing within the International ‘bubble’ with Ireland and the Irish Wolves over the past 12 months.

In the three match One Day International series v England at Southampton, Andrew Balbirnie led a side including Barry McCarthy and Harry Tector. Unfortunately, Barry was injured in Game 1 but in Game 3, Ireland pulled off a resounding victory with the skipper scoring 113 and Tector unbeaten on 29 as they chased down England’s 328 with one ball remaining. The series was special as Balbirnie also passed 2000 ODI runs and Tector made his ODI debut. Congratulations to both on these significant milestones!!

In March 2021, Ireland Wolves travelled to Bangladesh under the leadership of Harry Tector. Included in the squad were two other familiar names to the Randy Petes– Stephen Doheny and Peter Chase. Doc had a strong tour heading the Irish with 192 at 32.00 including a top score of 81 before COVID struck to force an early return to the Emerald Isle.

We also congratulate Harry who scored his maiden ODI half century for Ireland v The Netherlands at Utrecht in the third match of the series. H was the backbone of the innings with 58 (100) in his 11th match. In that series it was wonderful to see no less than five ex-Randy Petes in the squad: Andrew Balbirnie (c), Barry McCarthy, Harry Tector, Graeme McCarter and Stephen Doheny.

All at the Randy Petes wish our friends at Cricket Ireland all the best for a safe, strong and successful season in 2021.

100 It is with regret we record the passing of the following people associated with the club since the publication of the 2019-20 Annual Report.

x Fanny Warwick––died 20 December 2020 aged 106 years: Mrs Warwick was the mother of former Randwick fast bowler and “Legends” member John Warwick. She came to Australia from the UK over 40 years ago and saw out her days in the Anglican Retirement Village in Castle Hill. John says she was a happy and contented soul, living to a very ripe old age. x Barry Wood—died 12 January 2021 aged 87 years: Barry joined Randwick in 1948 at age 15 and when he retired 22 seasons later, at the end of the 1970-71 season, he had the enviable record of 443 wicket-keeper dismissals, of which 262 were achieved in 1st Grade. Included in that number were an amazing 150 stumpings with 93 in 1st Grade. He also scored 3,312 runs which included a 2nd Grade century when he was unexpectedly sent in to open the innings. Affectionately known as “The Heavy Roller”, due to his short stature and ever-widening girth, Barry remained one of Randwick Petersham’s most enthusiastic supporters as a member of “The Legends” and was a regular at Coogee Oval with his last visit as recent as season 2019-20. x Roma Burke–died 30 January 2021 aged 94 years: Roma was the mother of long-term Legends member, Chris Burke. Roma and her late husband, Stan, were great supporters of the old Randwick club. Chris played lower grades with Randwick for many years in the 1970s-80s. Apart from being a “Legend”, Chris is also the joint donor of the club’s annual award for the Most Improved Lower Grade player. x Tom Regan–died 25 April 2021 aged 91 years: Tom was the father of former Randwick lower grade premiership captain Rob Regan. A former 1st grader with the former Paddington and Sydney clubs, Tom had been a familiar face at Coogee Oval for the past 40 odd years beginning his association with the club through his involvement in the South Eastern Junior CA in 1976. Tom was a keen supporter of the old Randwick club as well as Randwick Petersham. He was also one of the original members of “The Legends” when it began at Randwick in 1998 and remained a valuable member at the time of his passing. x Ron Sundin-died 9 May 2021 aged 77 years: Ron was the father of Mark Sundin, a member of “The Legends” and a former 1st Grader and lower grade premiership winning all-rounder with the old Randwick club. In his younger days, Ron was known as “Ronnie” Sundin, a rock’n roll singer in New Zealand who at 16, topped the R&B charts with his hit single “Sea of Love”. Commonly known as the “Elvis of New Zealand”, he was a champion schoolboy athlete, ambidextrous tennis player and top class cricketer, passing on his talent to son Mark. x Jim Skuthorpe-died 2 June 2021 aged 88 years: Jim was the father of Life Member, David Skuthorpe. He was a keen supporter of David during his playing days with Petersham-Marrickville and was a familiar face at Petersham Oval watching games and helping in the canteen. His passing coincided with his 65th wedding anniversary.

101 Coaching Report by Greg Small, Head Coach Even in a season of unprecedented challenges caused by external circumstances, the expectation is still that all grades will play finals cricket. While we didn’t have the desired results in Randwick Petersham’s 20th season, there were still a number of positives to take forward. With the systems that have been put into place over the last few seasons, it will be the youth that take the club forward. Until they are ready to hit the highest level, everyone must continue to push themselves and help their teammates at the club to improve and achieve the results that we are certainly capable of.

It was always going to be difficult to match our success in 1st Grade – as many as 11 frontline players absent at any given point – but our victory in the Limited Overs competition was a true indication of our best possible performance. Well done to all players and congratulations to Co-Captains Jason Sangha and Daya Singh for leading the team to the club’s second Limited Overs Cup. While we weren’t able to replicate our T20 performances, we were well in contention for the Belvidere Cup finals until the last round of the regular season. Once again, every player at some point contributed to the team’s success this season.

Congratulations to those players who performed this year and were rewarded with representative honours at various levels, particularly those selected for the Cricket NSW age-level trials––under 17s: Max Robinson, Will Deller and Gus Small; under 19s: Reuben Sachs, Vivek Mahajan and Bilal Abbasi; country players, Jack Horseman and Charlie Howard. It is testament to the effort of those involved in our own pathways and identification that has given these young players–who will be the future of the club– their opportunity. Congratulations to those who advanced through all teams – starting in Metropolitan Cup – to make their 1st Grade debuts this season. In the last six years, they have become the first three in the club’s history to take the path to 1st Grade.

Our middle grade captains, Jackson Eldridge, Tom Holland, Liam O’Loughlin, Fabian Heaton, Jeremy Jastrzab and Jay Patel. Thank you for leading your teams well, both on and off. To Jeremy Jastrzab, John Stewart and Jay Patel, your efforts with our Metropolitan Cup squads this season were amazing. Thank you for your support. Congratulations to the Gold team on making the Metropolitan Cup semi-finals. It was quite an achievement in a competition that is getting more hard fought each year.

While it was an improvement over previous seasons, the turnover of players throughout the middle grades was far too high; 3rd Grade (26 players), 4th Grade (31 players) and 5th Grade (35 players). Players need to understand that pulling out at the last moment affects the whole club, and to play Premier Cricket requires a high level of commitment. This commitment is required across the whole club to ensure that everyone is able to achieve their goals. On a positive note and as a club, our junior development continues to put us in a fantastic position and the Masterclass program set in place with both the Randwick and Marrickville Junior Cricket Clubs, goes from strength-to-strength. Despite the disruptions caused by COVID-19, this concept again was a huge success.

We thank our Poidevin-Gray and Green Shield representatives. PGs presents an opportunity to those younger players coming through the grades to showcase their skills (in some cases probably a year or two earlier than they would anticipate), by playing against current 1st Grade or NSW 2nd XI players. This season, we begun to facilitate more opportunities for players graduating from Green Shield, and while it took a few matches, by the end of the season, they had started to put together some consistent performances. Green Shield had many of their ranks join the Grade competition before their season started and will be much better players for this opportunity, going forward. The majority of that playing group are likely to continue to play for the club for years to come, and need to continue to be nurtured and afforded opportunities to progress, even if it may be one grade too high for them. Thanks to John Stewart, Jeremy Jastrzab, Pratulya Kashyap, Dale Hackney and E-Young Khoo for their assistance throughout the Green Shield season – not many clubs had such extensive support at all their Green Shield matches. For both PGs and Green Shield, patience will be the key and although statistics and performance will be the ultimate judge, we should hone the skills of all these players and allow them some time to develop.

I would like to take the opportunity to thank the coaching staff which this season included Assistant Coaches, Eddie Otto, Michael Wood, Sanjiv Dubey, Pratulya Kashyap, along with specialist coaches, Mike Whitney (Bowling), Anthony Sams (Strength & Conditioning), net captains Paul O’Loughlin and Stan Beal. Despite the logistical challenges, all players were catered for and all training sessions took place in one form or another. To those players who bought into the coaching structure, adapted to the various situations and worked hard, a very big thank you. The contribution, flexibility and efforts of the coaching staff should also be highlighted.

To the clubs’ many volunteers, scorers, parents and supporters, I would like to say thank you for all your help across the season. I would like to say a big thank you to Bill Anderson and Peter Devlin. As a club we are lucky to have your experience and knowledge across cricket and sport in general. Special mention must also go to all members of the club’s Executive Committee, including President Mike Whitney, CEO John Stewart and Chairman of Selectors, Alan Wright. Thank you for your efforts and support. It is very much appreciated. And finally, in a season of many highlights––including the Limited Overs Cup and development of the younger players––as always, thank you to everyone who supported me.

Randwick Petersham Cricket Foundation

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

Pursuant to that objective, the Foundation was created under the management of a trustee company controlled by a number of directors. The current directors are Peter Wright (Chairman), club President Mike Whitney AM and long established “legends” of the club Alan Turner, John Pearson, Lyall Gardner OAM and Wayne Mulherin. Lyall Gardner also acts as the trustee secretary. Wally South in the 1930s Responsibility for investing the funds of the Foundation rests with the trustee company directors, who also have absolute discretion in determining the extent of any payment. The purpose of the trust is expressed in the Trust Deed as being to hold the capital and income in perpetuity for the promotion and encouragement of the game of cricket at the Randwick Petersham Cricket Club. Since the establishment of the Foundation, the capital and undistributed income has grown to almost $275,000. All funds are held on interest bearing bank deposit or in bank accounts. The club’s sponsor, Bendigo Bank, is a principal banker.

Over the 18 years life of the Foundation, the trustees have exercised their discretion in the distribution of income on a number of occasions and have paid a total of $145,894.60 to Randwick Petersham Cricket. This year, a single payment of $5,000 was made to the club as a contribution towards the printing of a book on the club’s history, called “Heroes of the Ages”.

The Randwick Petersham Cricket Foundation is dedicated to the continuation of the club as a major force in NSW Premier Cricket. While we are extremely grateful to Wally South for his foresight, we are mindful of the need to ensure the capital of the Foundation grows as the years roll by. We therefore welcome any donations from friends of Randwick Petersham Cricket.

The Phil Tresidder Memorial Scholarship

Phil Tresidder was a wonderful supporter of cricket and the Randwick and Randwick Petersham clubs who passed away in 2003 aged 75. During his lifetime he was probably the best known sports writer in the country through his association with the Daily Telegraph.

Phil had a good eye for cricketing talent and on many occasions personally funded young cricketers on overseas trips to assist them develop of their game. He was of the view that the experience gained from playing in different and varying conditions was invaluable in the enhancement of young skills in challenging situations and environments. It was in this knowledge that Phil’s family included in his funeral notice in the Sydney press a request that in lieu of flowers a contribution be made towards a fund to be established to assist young club cricketers with their costs in playing overseas. Phil Tresidder With such contributions and certain generous donations from the Tresidder family, coupled with the proceeds of the Phil Tresidder Memorial Golf Day over many years, the Phil Tresidder Memorial Scholarship began operation in 2012. It now has a capital fund of almost $45,000. The income from this resource is used to fund a scholarship. Nick Charlwood, Shaun Eaton, Brandon McLean, Anthony Sams, Jack Preddey, Jake Scicluna, Jacob Wood, Ash Burton, Jackson Eldridge and Tom McKenzie have been recipients of a scholarship. A total of $9,550 has been paid in the four seasons that a scholarship has been awarded. Because of the intervention of the Covid-19 pandemic, no scholarships were awarded these past two years.

105 Our Grounds by Alan Wright Due to COVID-19, the late start to the season and renovations to grandstands at both Coogee and Petersham Ovals, it was a challenging season for the grounds. Assessment of grounds is undertaken by Cricket NSW each season as a means of advising clubs how well their grounds are performing as viewed by the umpires. At Coogee, we were fortunate that Randwick Council provided first rate temporary facilities which enabled it to be used as our 1st Grade ground for the whole season.

Although the rain was a continual challenge, the silver lining was how it drastically helped in the improved quality of the Coogee outfield, compared to the troubles that Green Options faced last year with the drought, combined with an insufficient irrigation system. This season, Coogee Oval rated 4th out of 20 higher grade grounds. With the grandstand renovations completed, we look forward to continuing to enjoy one of the premier grounds in Sydney.

The Petersham Oval grandstand was still undergoing renovation this season, however, Inner West Council provided temporary facilities to enable the oval to be used. Unfortunately, the facilities were not up to 1st Grade standard and it was mainly used for lower grades. However, the ground staff from Green Options did a sterling job with the wicket and the outfield, with it rating 14th. We look forward to a return of 1st Grade to Petersham for the first round next season with a gala opening of the renovated stand.

Of the lower grade grounds, Kensington Oval ranked 22nd, down from 20th last season, while Snape Park made a great improvement to be ranked 10th– up from 31st.

This past season was also the first on the newly resurfaced practice wickets at Snape. There were some early season teething problems while the new profile was settling, but it finished strongly. The new facility, along with an excellent grass choice, proved to be an outstanding success with the wicket block ending the season with a healthy grass coverage compared to previous years.

These impressive all round results were achieved through the great work and dedication of Green Options’ Kane Campbell and his staff under the watchful eye of Damien Rosser covering Coogee, Snape and Kensington ovals. Inner West Council also engaged Green Options directly for Petersham Oval, however, Matt Sommerville and his staff did a great job. We continue to strive to improve our facilities with the centre wicket net at Snape, being a great innovation.

As a means of earning income, a number of outside clubs, organisations and associations used our grounds during the season including Eastern Suburbs Cricket Club, Sydney Cricket Club for their 1st Grade women’s team, and Manly Cricket Club for their semi-final. As part of our commitment to cricket development in the area, we have made available all our grounds and practice facilities at a reduced cost to the South Eastern Junior Cricket Association, Marcellin College Randwick, Moriah College and Sydney Boys High School. Also this season, Coogee Oval hosted SCG XI fixtures, including the inaugural Premier’s Plate between our 1st Grade and an SCGXI Invitation side.

Coogee Oval was also made available to Randwick Juniors and the Sydney Sixers for junior development clinics. With our continual commitment to women’s cricket, the Snape Oval practice facilities were also made available for women’s cricket practice.

Many thanks to Peter Devlin for his assistance in liaising extensively with the Green Options team, Randwick Council and Inner West Council and to Tony Herman, Dane Thatcher, Graham Doig and the team from Green Options for their outstanding work and support throughout the season. Jeremy Jastrzab was another who worked tirelessly with Inner West Council to oversee the successful completion of the Petersham Oval grandstand renovations while the extensive liaisons by Mike Whitney and John Stewart with Randwick Council are reflected in the impressive upgrade of the Coogee Oval grandstand.

Authorised by Dr Marjorie O'Neill MP. Funded using parliamentary entitlements. 107 Report from the Financial Controller

Randwick Petersham recorded an operating surplus for the second consecutive season. While modest, it is an extraordinary result for the club, particularly when considering the wider economic environment during the COVID- 19 pandemic. This result was greatly assisted by the retention of sponsors, as this revenue only decreased 20% from last season; the club suffered a 67% decrease following the GFC in 2009. We very much thank all of our sponsors who retained their support for the club; your contributions to the Randwick Petersham community are greatly appreciated. It is also a testament to the work put in by our CEO, John Stewart, and the relationships that he’s cultivated with our sponsors over many years. Everyone is encouraged to continue supporting our sponsors whenever they have the opportunity, to ensure that this area continues to be a cornerstone of the club’s successes.

We thank Cricket NSW for ensuring that there was no grant money reduction paid to NSW Premier Cricket. This reduced the stress from other lost revenue streams, such as functions and, in our case, ground hire. We did have a strong year around clothing sales and reforms to playing fees were greatly successful. Significantly, the truncated nature of the season, while frustrating at times, also ensured that some costs were decreased or not required. With no overseas players, no functions and a shorter lower grade season translating into lower ground maintenance costs, this allowed for correct planning and budgeting to ensure an appropriate allocation of our resources and led us to achieve this positive outcome. Remarkably, our results could have been even stronger if not for a wet season requiring under cover hire and had agreed upon cost-saving measures been implemented earlier.

The club is now in a position of financial strength following a three-season downward spiral, but the proper planning, allocation and distribution now needs to take place between all facets of the club to ensure that our finances remain strong and that we are working towards defined future goals. This includes the continued nurture of our excellent Randwick and Inner West Councils relationships, as our needs change and the areas are developed. We need to work and communicate together to avoid cost inefficiencies, particularly as the dawn of season 2021-22 already brings with it additional costs and no certainty over what events will be allowed to go ahead. Jeremy Jastrzab Financial Controller

110 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 APRIL 2021

NOTE 1 -STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES The financial statements are general purpose financial statements that have been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards (including Australian Accounting Interpretations) and the Corporations Act 2001. Australian Accounting Standards set out accounting policies that the AASB has concluded would result in financial statements containing relevant and reliable information about transactions, events and conditions. Material accounting policies adopted in the preparation of this financial report are presented below and have been consistently applied unless otherwise stated. The financial statements have been prepared on an accruals basis and are based on historic costs unless otherwise stated in the notes. The accounting policies that have been adopted in the preparation of this financial report are as follows:

Income Tax No provision for income tax has been raised as the Club is exempted under Division 50 of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997.

Inventories Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value.

Goods and Services Tax (GST) Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST, except where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the Tax Office. In these circumstances the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of an item of the expense. Receivables and Payables in the balance sheet are shown inclusive of GST.

Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts.

Comparative Figures When required by Accounting Standards comparative figures have been adjusted to conform to changes in presentation for the current financial year.
