Congratulations to the Junior and Senior premiers - 10A’s, 10C’s and C2’s. Commiserations to all the runners up – the 16A’s, B2’s, B5’s and B6’s teams who gave their all in the finals. Team numbers still continue to be strong. We fielded 17 junior teams and 8 senior teams this season. Once again it was great seeing a number of girls playing for the club’s junior teams. We would like to encourage more girls playing for our great club in the future. Recruitment of U8 and U10 players for next season will be a priority for us as they are the future of the club. Thank you to all the parents who helped out with the teams during the season whether it was taking on roles as coaches, managers, scorers or just helping out on each game day. Special thanks to our non-parent coaches in the club - Peter Schofield, Ian Latham, Adam Pascoe, Robbie Knight, Chris Moreland, Tim Russell and James Bills. At the end of last season Steve Jones handed on the President’s baton after 9 years of unwavering service to our club. On behalf of everyone associated with the Dragons I would like to thank Steve for his strong leadership and direction over those years. Fortunately for us Steve will remain in the cricket club as a general committee member as well as continue in the important community role on the Anzac Complex 527 Committee. As this was my first year as Club President I would like to thank everyone who put time and effort into the club’s running and made my job that much easier. A special thankyou goes out to our Club Secretary Neil Croker who yet again this season, put his heart and soul in to the club’s operations. Thank you to the other committee members who worked tirelessly behind the scenes in their various roles. Our Bunnings BBQ fundraiser was a roaring success this season. Thank you to all those teams and supporters who gave up their time to help out on the day. This year was especially busy as we ran out of sausages and bread stocks mid-afternoon requiring a mad dash to Supabarn at Sutherland to replenish stocks. As a club we are always trying to investigate any avenues of additional fund raising. I would appeal to everyone associated with the Dragons, whether committee members, parents of junior players, or senior players, to assist in any way possible to attract sponsors in to our club. There are many positive ways that sponsors can be promoted in our local community via the Dragons Cricket Club. Towards the end of the season our club had their first official Facebook page created and administered by one of our senior players, Tim Russell. A big thank you to Tim for this great initiative. It will be used as a means of communication to our members and we welcome all positive input to the Facebook page in the future. ENGADINE DRAGON CRICKET CLUB Page 6 E NGADINE DRAGON CRICKET CLUB Page 7 Thank you to all the senior teams and their players this year. We believe in having a strong senior component of the club. I was pleased to see a substantial number of last year’s U16 players filter up to the men’s teams with a number of father/son combinations playing in the various grades. I congratulate all the senior teams and hope to see you all back next season. A special mention goes out to Stuart Slack for his role in coordinating the men’s teams. Stuart, along with Adam Pascoe, has also organised the resurrection of the “club night” to be held at Engadine Bowling Club. In closing let me once again thank everyone for their contributions to another successful season. As a club we are always looking at ways of encouraging and boosting new members to our committee. Please consider helping out. There are always positions available and we would love to see these filled. Remember to keep up with all the club news and events via our website and Facebook page. See you again next season. Jim Lee President Thank you to the Sutherland Shire Council and the assistance of the SSJCA for our Practice Nets Upgrade this season ENGADINE DRAGON CRICKET CLUB Page 7 E NGADINE DRAGON CRICKET CLUB Page 8 SECRETARIES REPORT Another successful season for the Dragons with 3 Junior and 4 Senior teams making the final with the 10A, 10C & C2 winning their respective grades. Whilst our 16A, B2, B5 & B6 were not successful they should be proud of the season they had. Our Junior numbers continue to grow with a club record 191 players across 17 teams. Our Senior numbers were steady with 8 Teams and it was great to see John Westlake & Scott Jones Captain Teams which included the majority of former junior players moving into the Men’s Competition. In the lead up to season the club received the news of the passing of Heather Robbins (the wife of Club Legend Harry Robbins) after a long battle with illness. A strong contingent of former and current players and supporters attended the funeral. Our condolences go out to Harry and his family. Congratulations to Stuart Slack on becoming the club’s 31st Life Member. Stuart has played with the club for the past 25 years and also coached for 9 years during this period. With the help of the SSJCA and Sutherland Council our nets at Anzac Oval received new synthetic pitches, this will allow the Club to continue to provide outstanding training facilities for all our players.

Pete has been central to this club for as long as I've been associated with it and I was thrilled that the Club was able to formally acknowledge Pete's many year contribution with the unveiling this year of the 'Peter Filmer Honour Board'. One of our driving values at the Club remains 'Increasing Participation in Cricket' and to this extent, season 2009/10 exceeded our expectations of success (even for Springwood Cricket) both on and off the field.

Well, it took the commencement of the cricket season to signal the beginning of the end for draught conditions across the state. The 2007/08 season was the most punctuated season for many years but, in the wider scheme of things, nobody really seemed to mind, if it took cricket to break the draught then all was not lost. For the cricket that was played, Springwood Cricket Club had a very successful season culminating in a number of teams reaching the finals and winning both the Under 11 and Under 13 Division 1 premierships.

  • SEASON 2019/2020 Year Book
    SEASON 2019/2020 Year Book Presidents Report First year in my new role and I am pleased to say it was a genuine success. Pleasing results on the field and equally pleasing results and achievements off the field. The AGM took place at the start of the season and seen 6 of the previous hard working committee move on. Needless to say the vacant positions were filled with new members and we all came together to kick off the season for our BANGOR BARDEN RIDGE COMETS. A few goals were set and the committee went to work. Our major achievement for the start of the season was the new playing uniform and training shirts. It was a huge achievement given the tight time frame and lack of available funding. The funds were sourced with the introduction of our awesome sponsors and the gear was received the week before the season start. I’m sure we can all agree that the players looked fantastic in the new gear. A successful Grading day was another preseason goal of the new committee and thanks to the efforts of our head coach and an appointed grading committee everything went exceptionally well. We even managed a sausage sizzle on the day and raised some more funds for the club. Pre-season training was another initiative that was introduced this season by our Vice President and it was also a great success. Upwards of 20 participants across all age groups each week was a very positive sight at the start of the season. Certainly an initiative we can embrace for the future growth of our Club..
