2 PRESIDENTS REPORT WAYNE RIDEOUT

Another mediocre season, no team making the finals and the club's playing strength becoming very thin, with a particular impact on the seventh grade team.

Since Chas Eadon-Clarke in the first 2 seasons, no President had been in power for more than 1 season. This was again the case in 1985/86, Wayne Rideout being elected President. Andy Randles was again Secretary and a junior from the previous season, Steve Putz, was Treasurer.

Third grade captain was Tom Morgan, Rod Hays was fifth grade captain and seventh grade captain was Russell Kingdon. The club lost the services of Garry Gregan during the season and his ability with bat and ball and his administration skills were missed.

Some of the well known names to debut for the club this season were Tim "Bucket Head" Downey, Pat O'Dwyer, Brad Douglas, Terry Clarke, Gary "Hack" Leask and Trevor Goddard.

The club was at the crossroads at the end of this season, both on and off the field, and a major change in direction was required to ensure the club's future viability.

5 1ST XI CAPTAINS REPORT TOM MORGAN Played: 11 Won: 4 Lost: 5 Draws: 2 Position Finished: 9th DID NOT PLAY FINALS

The 1st XI (3rd Grade) captained by Tom Morgan had an improved season on last year, winning 4 games and losing 5 (2 games washed out) to finish in 9th position. The 2 washouts were unfortunate as the team was in a reasonable position in both cases. But losing the last 3 games cost us the chance of a finals berth.

The was competitive. George Prince lead the way with 249 runs, Wayne Rideout scored 235 runs and Steve Melville 226 runs.

We struggled to bowl teams out and this is reflected in the bowling figures. Only Val Steenholdt with 18 and Steve Melville 14 wickets took more than 10 wickets.

Tom Morgan's fine performances in the field earned him his second Association fielding award.

DID NOT PLAY FINALS

The 2nd XI (5th Grade) captained by Rod Hays, fell agonisingly short again of a finals berth, falling 1.43 points out of the four in 6th place. A 4 run loss to Melville in round 9 proved costly. The team won 6 games for the season, 1 outright.

Phil Holman was the only player to pass 200 runs for the season, giving a hint of things to come with 260 runs. The individual batting highlight of the season was provided by Stuart Rankin, approaching retirement from the game because of continual back problems. He scored 101 against WACAE, his second for the club and the club's first senior ton for 4 seasons.

Alex Weir lead the bowling attack, taking 25 wickets from 8 games, with a best haul of 6/32. Brad Douglas provided support with 18 wickets.

9 3RD XI CAPTAINS REPORT RUSSELL KINGDON Played: 11 Won: 1 Lost: 10 Draws: 0 Position Finished: Last

DID NOT PLAY FINALS

The 3rd XI (7th Grade) captained by Russell Kingdon, had a difficult season. After winning the first game of the season seventh grade did not win again, losing outright in most games and finishing in last place.

The batting was disastrous, the team passing 100 only twice and being dismissed for less than 50 on 4 occasions. No batsman made a significant amount of runs. Andrew Sproul performed well with the ball, taking 25 wickets with his leg spinners.
