KW Price G Wyer G Fulford JW Chalmers PD Daffen J Jamieson 1- K Wells D Tiny ow NO Wilson LJ Wyche M Fulford J Walden D Power Secretary's Report I would like to present the Association's Annual Report to all members of the Moore Park South East Cricket Association. The 2012/2013 Season saw total team numbers in our main competition drop slightly once again continuing a trend over recent seasons. The grade most affected by this drop in numbers appears to be in 1 st grade where we are struggling to find enough competitive teams to fill the grade. The season saw us go with a combined 1 st and 2'1 grade competition with limited success. Throughout the off- season I have been in talks with nearby associations suffering similar problems as us especially in regard to their 1 st grade competitions with the notion of playing a combined l st grade competition with one or two of these associations. It may not happen this coming season but it may happen in the very near future. In 2012/2013 we had a total of 25 teams in the main competition compete over five grades with the Premiership winners being 1 st Grade — Souths Juniors; 2 nd Grade — Clovelly CC; 3 Grade — Edna Puffett Memorial XI; 4 th Grade — Clovelly CC and 5 th Grade — Doncaster. The Club Championship was taken out by Clovelly CC for the second season in a row. In the Twenty20 competition we had a total of 9 teams compete in a fairly even competition with Souths Juniors 1 once again coming out as deserved premiers. In a competition again affected by rain our Martin Shield team qualified for the quarter-finals against Camden but unfortunately the rain intervened during the course of the afternoon resulting in a drawn match, which saw Camden progress to the semi-finals. My thanks to our Patron Mr Harry Solomons and Kingsgrove Sports Centre, the South Sydney Junior Rugby League Football Club, Kookaburra and the Doncaster Hotel for their ongoing support and sponsorship of the Association. Finally I would like to thank all fellow Board Members, club delegates, umpires, scorers, volunteers and players who make up the competition and make it a success. Yours in cricket David Power Secretary 8 President's Report Ladies and Gentlemen: The 2012-2013 season marked the completion of 18 seasons since Moore Park, South Sydney and the Catholic Association joined to form the Moore Park South East Cricket Association. Season 2012-13 saw a further drop in teams in the Association despite an aggressive advertising and promotional campaign to draw teams to the Association. This is a major concern as for the past two years numbers have fallen. The Association is fully aware of the many issues relating to this including, demographics lack of affordable grounds that result in high consumer fees and the lack of juniors playing park cricket once they leave the junior ranks. The season finished in stark contrast to the previous season with all Minor Premiers in all grades winning their respective Grade Premiership. I congratulate all of those Premiership Clubs on their success in particular Souths Juniors who triumphed in first grade and at the same time notched up 24 consecutive grand final appearances. This is truly a remarkable feat and shows what a solid group of players they are with several of their current side featuring in many of those grand finals. This mighty club also took out the 20/20 competition for the third season in a row. My congratulations also to the Clovelly club who not only won the 2 ' and 4th grade premiership but were Club Champions for the second year in a row. Also Edna Puffett who recorded their first Premiership success and not to forget Doncaster who were consistent throughout the year in claiming the 5th grade trophy. Congratulations also to the many individuals whose achievements are recorded further in this report. The season did not enjoy the same success on the representative front as was the case in previous years. The Associations Martin Shield side recorded 2 wins out of 3 in standard competition however in the quarter finals the weather intervened and unfortunately our opposition who were higher on the ladder went through to the finals series. My thanks to our Captain and organizer Hippo who put in a tremendous effort in getting the side together and all but pulling off a place in the semi-finals. A big thanks also to selectors Greg Leslie, Bill Glacken, who also was scorer and Dave Power. The Associations only other representative game was against Northern Suburbs who defeated us in a close encounter. Also on the representative front I am pleased to announce negotiations were completed with Southern Highlands and it is anticipated that a regular fixture will take place in the Bowral area commencing in season 2013-2014. For an association to be successful, it needs support. I would like to thank a number of people for their support in season 2012-2013-: Noel Moig Agencies for the KOOKABURRA Sponsorship: We are in the final year of a three year agreement with Kookaburra. This sponsorship is used directly to assist in the ever increasing ground fees set by the landlords of our grounds. I am pleased to report this year saw only minor fee increase due directly to the monies from this sponsorship. My thanks to both Noel Moig and Cameron Eves of Noel Moig Agencies and the team at Kookaburra for their ongoing support. Mr. Harry Solomons, Managing Director Kingsgrove Sports: Harry is not only our Patron but a longtime supporter of park cricket in the South Sydney area having not only played many games in the former South Sydney Cricket Association but also represented that Association. Harry has a true understanding of Association cricket and what it takes to be a successful association and our success is helped by his support both at club and Association level. I thank Harry and the team at Kingsgrove Sports for their support and I urge all clubs to visit Kingsgrove Sports for all your teams and individual cricket requirements. 9 South Sydney Juniors Leagues Club: Not only do we get a great deal for our presentation evening but the club also financially contributes to ground costs each year. To the Board of Souths Juniors my thanks for your continued support and the Association look forward to continuing our relationship for many years to come. Centennial Park Trust, Botany Council, Randwick Council: Our thanks to these organisations and there staff who ensure our grounds are maintained each week. Doncaster Hotel: The Doncaster Hotel is now in its fourth year as a sponsor of our representative sides. My thanks to Michael Paterson and the team at the Doncaster Hotel for their continued support. I would urge all members to try the bistro at the Donny the food is fabulous and don't forget to try your hand at trivia on trivia night and of course TEXAS polka thanks again to the DONNY. Umpires: My thanks to the umpires who each Saturday control our fixtures. Our numbers have fallen in the past few seasons; however John Chalmers is as always busy recruiting from other Associations. My thanks to John for his persistence in ensuring we have the necessary umpires each week. I would also encourage any person who wishes to be an umpire to contact John. Thanks again to our umpires. MPSECA Board: The Board this year welcomes new members Matt Donovan, Dale Evans and Jiggy Kakkad who all made solid contributions in the running of the Association throughout the season. A special mention of congratulations to our Assistant Secretary John Chalmers who was awarded a 50 year service to cricket award by the ACB and Cricket NSW, this award was also acknowledged in State Parliament by the Member for Heffron Ron Hoenig MP, congratulations John well done.... A big thank you to Matt Donovan who took on the Treasurers role and Vice President Dave Power who not only wears the Vice Presidents hat but contributes as Secretary and runs the 20/20 competition which is now in its seventh season. Thank you to all Board members who as volunteers are the ones responsible for your Saturday cricket happening each week. MPSECA Affiliated Clubs and Players: My sincere thanks for the support given by clubs and particularly the office bearers of our clubs whom I am aware spend many voluntary hours organizing their club each week. To all players and club supporters whom without you we do not have an Association, my thanks for your continued support of this great Association. Season 2012-2013 has concluded and as I reported earlier our numbers were down on previous seasons. It is the intention of the current Board to look at options in relation to strengthening our competition particularly 1 s' grade. It is my belief and the Boards that we must have a strong healthy first grade to encourage teams to join the lower grades and aspire to playing in the top grade, to that end we will be looking at a number of suggestions that will benefit our competition and help us to maintain a strong premier grade. It is also my belief that we need to encourage juniors to play in our competition and to that end the Board is looking at options with local junior organisations within the metropolitan area. In conclusion once again I ask members to consider volunteering to become a Board member in season 2013-2014. We are always looking for additional members particularly if you have been involved in sports administration as I am sure there must be members who can help us increase numbers and assure the future of the Association. I look forward to seeing you all on the park in 2013-2014 again my thanks for your continued support, I commend this report to the members. Paul Brien President 10 Umpires report On behalf of the Board of Management I would like to thank all the umpires for their dedication and assistance in making the 2012/2013 season a tremendous success.
