PRESIDENTS REPORT The 2014/15 season for the City & Suburban Cricket Association was a success if nothing more than it saw the number of participating clubs increase after a slow decline in past years. The increase involved the revival of the Scots Old Boys team after some years of being a non-playing club due to the lack of players. Congratulations to those involved in making this happen For cricket in general the season saw some tremendous highs, and one terrible low incident. The highs saw Australia win the 50 World Cup for the 5th time with a convinc- ing win over New Zealand in the final in front of 94,000 people at the MCG. The tournament, jointly hosted by New Zealand and Australia, was a huge success with sell-out crowds and some fantastic cricket, including upset results such as Bangladesh defeating England which meant that the England team did not qualify for the quarter finals. Prior to the World Cup Australia had defeated India 4-0 in the summer test series and then whitewashed them in the limited over matches. Stars for Australia were , who not only captained Australia in the last 3 tests after regular skip- per Michael Clarke was injured, but also plundered after century in all forms of the game. The other stars were the battery headed by Mitchell Johnston and – the latter being named Man of the tournament for the World Cup. The low incident was the tragic death on 27 November of Australian Batsman after being hit in the head while for South Australia against NSW at the SCG by a ball from . He was 63n.o. at the time and look- ing for a recall to the test team for the first test against India. Phillip’s death three days before his 26th birthday shocked the whole nation, not only the cricketing fra- ternity, and resulted in the postponement of the first test against India and a re- vamp of the whole series while the Australian players in particular regained their composure. Michael Clarke, the Australian , really showed his leadership qualities during this difficult period. Besides the first test being postponed, Phillip Hughes’ death resulted in many cricket matches throughout Australia being cancelled on the Saturday following the tragedy. The C&S Association left the decision as to whether matches should go ahead to the respective clubs with a number of teams opting not to play. For the second year in a row the Jack Pace Shield Knockout final was played in dif- ficult circumstances with several storms and torrential rain during the afternoon forcing the result to be decided on count-back. Congratulations to Barker Old Boys who defeated neighbours Knox Old Boys in a closely fought contest. Knox Old Boys unfortunately have had the worst of the conditions in the final for each of the last 2 years. The official umpires for the final did their best to enable the final to be played over the maximum number of overs but the rain delays in the end made this impossible. Taking nothing away from Barker’s deserved win, it also showed how important and timely it will be for the C&S Association to adopt the universal count- back rules that will be implemented in 2015/16. The season was important in respect to the grounds that the C&S Association has at its disposal. Goddard Park at Concord, used by the Yaralla Cricket club since 1891, and St Lukes ground, also at Concord and used by the C&S Association, are both due to have their on-going licence decided by the City of Canada Bay Council before the start of next season. It is critical that these grounds be retained although there is strong demand by other sporting bodies, including Sydney Grade Club, for the use of Goddard Park. The retention of other grounds including Waterloo and Camperdown ovals are also essential if the C&S Association are to continue to enjoy matches played on turf . The cost of maintaining turf pitches is a great consideration by all Council’s, howev- er the Phillip Hughes incident showed what an important part cricket plays in Australian society. It would be an absolute disaster if turf wickets were lost to the City & Suburban Cricket Association, and other cricketing bodies, simply due to cost. With such an emphasis on grounds it is essential the C&S Association member clubs occupy the grounds allocated to them each and every weekend during the season. While the number of forfeited matches has declined from the unsatisfactory level we had several years ago, there are still too many matches where clubs let their opposition team down at the last minute. I urge all club officials to do whatever they can to put a team on the park, even borrowing players from other clubs who may have a surplus. With the social media available there may be a way of players not required by their club on a particular weekend to make themselves available to other clubs that are struggling for a team I have again observed a number of communications by your Association Secretary for results to be provided or other matters that he should not have needed to chase. His is a thankless task with just the normal Association communications tak- ing many hours of his time. He shouldn’t have to spend even more time chasing responses or reminding clubs of their responsibilities. Please assist him and answer his requests quickly and accurately in future. At the time of writing your executive are in the process of arranging the next Association dinner to be held in July after a gap of several years. Club responses have so far been encouraging and this looks like being a successful and well attended evening. The C & S Association lost one of their stalwart’s, a past Vice President and Life Member with the passing of Alan Law on 24 April 2015. Alan was a member and Club Delegate of the Hunters Hill CC. for many years and it is understood that dur- ing his playing days he took three hat tricks in C&S competition matches. In conclusion I must acknowledge the fantastic efforts again of your Secretary Brian Breakspear and Treasurer Garry Winney. Their work and attention to detail ensure fixtures are arranged, that we have grounds to play on, umpires are in attendance at JPS Shield finals, that weekly results are published and that our finances are more than capably managed. Thank you Brian and Garry for your ongoing support and the significant contribution you continue to provide to our Association. Bob Marshall

SECRETARY’S REPORT I submit my report for your consideration and adoption. The 2014-15 cricket season saw the passing of the Association’s 112th year as a long standing cricket association in Sydney. Reflecting on those past years, the Association membership, both past and present, have witnessed, former Test, First Class and District Grade Cricket Club players grace their presence on our turf pitches, with a number of our member Clubs. Looking back one hundred years ago, (1915 -2015) it is interesting to note, in the Centenary year of ANZAC, that World War I had cast its dark shadow upon the coast line of Gallipoli, then the Western Front, to which the latter, had stretch seven hundred kilometres across Europe. The Empire was at War with Germany and Turkey. After the 1914-15 cricket season, Sheffield Shield fixtures were suspended. During World War 1 the Cricket Association effectively discouraged men from taking part in the game. It was believed that anyone fit enough to play cricket should be in uniform of khaki, being the preferred colour. The following is an extract from the Association’s Minutes of the 1915-16 Annual General Meeting:- “…In presenting the thirteenth Annual Report of the Association has to congratulate itself, that even in the present time of trouble and difficulties owing to the State of War, some useful purpose was served by being able to provide exercise and recreation for those members where duties caused them to remain in the Commonwealth. It was fully realise that at anytime the position may be such, that matches could not be played, and all our Clubs were quite prepared at anytime, to give up their games, if such stood in the way for the National benefit. It is however, satisfactory that in a quiet way and without any display from a Public point of view that a number of Clubs were able to carry out match- es almost throughout the whole of the season. Also, that fact that a num- ber of Clubs not being able to raise teams, showed that the Spirit running through the Clubs was for the Good of the Empire. We are not able to make any definite record of the number of players who have enlisted on Active Service, but, we feel satisfied that the Association is well represented in all Branches of Service…” Signed: C A Fairland Hon.Sec. Cricket as a major sport in that period, was not immune to having first class level players, and the more humbler club cricketer, within the Commonwealth Countries, volunteering for War service. Among those who served in the Great War are for- mer Australian Test and Australian Imperial Services XI cricketers, J.M. Gregory, H.L Collins (Capt.), W.A.S. Oldfield, C.T. Docker, C.A. Bull, J.T. Murray, C.E. Pellew, J.M. Taylor, W.L. Trenerry, C.B. Ellis, C. Kellaway, A.W. Lampard, E.J. Long, H.S.B. Love, H.F.T. Heath, W.S. Stirling and C.C. Winning. Interestingly, H.L. Collins was elected Captain of the Services XI over seven mem- bers whom were of Commission Rank. Collins was Lance Corporal and Major C.T. Docker was the higher ranking officer in the team. The decision to elect Collins was unanimous by the team members after a team meeting, due to the unaccept- able behaviour of the former team captain, Charles Kellaway. Rank was not con- sidered on the field of play or during the match. The Services XI completed a suc- cessful period of matches in 1917-18 in England, and went on to a further suc- cessful tour of South Africa in 1919. Of note, C.T. Docker played for Yaralla C.C. after the War, but did not continue with a promising first class career. Similarly, former Australian wicketkeeper, W.A.S. (Bert) Oldfield played in the occasional Association seasonal fixtures after he had finished first class cricket career. Our President has commented on a number of highs and lows that have had an impact on Australian cricket during the past season. The success of co-hosting and winning the ICC World Cup ranks as highlight of the season past. The tragic death of former Australian Test and State cricketer, Phillip Hughes will remain in our memories for decades to come. The circumstances could only be described as a “freakish” incident, in all sense of the word. He remains 63 , being his batting score at the time of the tragic accident whilst playing for South Australia vs. N.S.W.,which is forever recorded in Australian and world cricket histo- ry. The passing of on 10 April 2015, was untimely, but not unexpected as he endeavoured to stave off the constant intrusion of cancer. Richie will always be remembered for his cricket Captaincy, journalism, television commentaries, locally and for Channel 4 in England. He was regarded widely, as one of the best Captains to captain Australia. His astute analysis of the game, was much revered by his peers and cricket administrators generally. Richie lead Australia to the first tied Test match in test cricket history against the West Indies. Richie, and Sir Frank Worrell the W.I. Captain, took cricket to new levels of public popularity in the 1961 Test Series the likes of which had not been experience since the Bradman era. Richie being the master of one word instead of using two words, would simply say “marvellous” – He is sadly missed. On the 24 April 2015, I was informed by Margaret Law, daughter of Alan Law, Vice President and Life Member of the Association, had passed away. Alan was a play- ing member of the Hunters Hill C.C. He held the position of Club Secretary and Delegate to the Association for many years. Alan secretarial role for the Hunters Hill C.C. covered a period of 40 years. As your Secretary, I prepared letter, which was forwarded to Alan’s daughter and was read out as part of the eulogy at his funeral. JACK PACE MEMORIAL SHIELD COMPETITION The 2014-15 JPS Competition was successfully conducted. Despite the intruding weather conditions, the preliminary rounds and finals managed to be played. The first five Rounds of the competition gave the teams opportunity to produce their playing ability. The team heading the charge was Knox. They continued to main- tain at the top of the competition table by winning all their competition matches to qualify for the Final. Their opponents were Barker Old Boys. Barker had in prior seasons competed well, but just could not get to the final stage of the competition. However, this season that was about the change. Barker qualified to play in the final after winning their quarter and semi-final matches. The final was played at Goddard Oval with two official umpires in attendance. Given that the pitch covers were laid, the weather managed to intervene as it has done in previous seasons. The final outcome, Barker defeated Knox. Unfortunately, the scorecard recorded on MyCricket website did not permit me to register the score- card in my report. Congratulations are extended to Barker Old Boys C.C. on their inaugural achievement in the JPS Competition. It is envisaged that the new Competition Playing Conditions will be introduced this season, with the introduction of the Duckworth-Lewis formula to assist with weather interruption calculations. Our President mentioned in his report, the current situation with Goddard Oval, Concord. The history of this ground use for cricket, dates back to 1891 for Yaralla C.C. and 1903 for the Association. It was imperative, that your Executive Committee address the challenges to the license tenure of Goddard Oval. A meeting was held between Mr. David Kelly (Sydney C.C.) Mr. Anthony Brooks (Cricket NSW, Manager for Infrastructure and Government Relations) , our President, Treasurer and myself. The meeting was convivial. However, this cricket season will see the introduction of the Women’s Cricket Big Bash League. Due to the large expanse of this project, turf cricket grounds are being sought. Goddard Oval was being touted as a preferred ground for Sunday use. The Minutes of this meeting have been prepared, and circulated to those present at the meeting for record purposes. After discussion with your Executive Committee, a suitable reply will be made. But of course this can’t happen until the Association’s Delegates are consulted at the AGM with their right of reply. It is important that all Clubs ensure that their Secretary, and other Office Bearers communication details are current and maintain up to date. The Association Secretary is to be advised of any change in contact details for your Club.

My new email address is [email protected] Please ensure that your records have this email address documented. At the time of writing my report, the Association celebrated its 2014-15 cricket association Annual Dinner, at the Tattersall’s Club, Sydney. Our Annual Dinner was well patronised with one hundred Association members and ladies in attendance. The highlights of the evening, was the induction of Mick Halliday (OCCC) and the evergreen Rick Glover (St. George Vets. C.C.) as “Legend Members” of the Association. Both members were most worthy of their induction, and I take this opportunity to congratulate both gentlemen on that auspicious occasion. Our Special Guest, former Australian Test Cricketer, and Television Presenter, Mr. Mike Whitney provided entertainment to all present. Mike told of his Test Cricket experiences, which kept the members entertained. The Association is indebted to Mike for his time, amidst his busy work schedule and family commitments. After entertaining our members, Mike took time to speak with a number of members from the Association’s Clubs. Mike is a true and sincere gentleman. The Association thanks Mr. Rick Glover, Miss Emma Davis and Staff for co-ordinat- ing and organising the facility arrangements that contributed to the success of the Dinner. It is intended to conduct the annual dinner next year. At this time, I wish to acknowledge a number of people, for whom the Association has relied on the pathway of management. Firstly to our President Mr. Bob Marshall, who has again steered our Association on a strong course. Secondly, to our Treasurer, Mr., Garry Winney,. Garry has again carried out his role with mone- tary expertise, ensuring that the Association funds are maintained. To the Mayor and Council staff of the City of Canada Bay Council, the Association thanks Council for the facilitation of Goddard Oval and St. Lukes No. 2 Ground dur- ing the passed cricket season. Likewise, we thank the ground staff at both grounds for their expert attention to the preparation of the turf pitches at these grounds. Finally, to the Club members of the Association, I thank you for your valued assis- tance that you have given me, to maintain the Association’s administration. I enjoy the role as your Association Secretary and look forward to continuing this duty in the interests of your Club and the Association itself. Thank you. Brian Breakspear JP

And now for some news from the Clubs BARKER OLD BOYS CRICKET CLUB From: Matt Hall Played 16 Won 11 Lost 5 Drawn 0 Washed Out 4 Barker Old Boys Cricket Club experienced it’s most successful season in the clubs history in the City & Suburban Cricket competition of 2014/15. A total of 31 players donned the BOBs cap this year, with a core squad forming for the Jack Pace com- petition rounds. One of the goals at the start of the season was to improve on our perennial quar- ter-final loss in the Jack Pace Memorial Shield competition. The side performed admirably throughout, remained undefeated and managed to qualify for the finals in our highest ever ranking (2nd). This was a deserved result following 4 consecutive wins and an unfortunate washout versus Hunters Hill Cricket Club. The team knew we were going to come up against the competition heavyweights in the finals series and we certainly weren’t disappointed. Close encounters and extremely rare victories against Cricketers Club of NSW in the quarter final and IZingari in the semi meant that we qualified to play traditional rivals Knox Old Boys in the final. Goddard Park was the scene for this match, one that was surrounded in clouds, thunderstorms, heavy downpours, cold winds and a reduced over fixture. It came down to the wire and our batting line up was able to stave off a Knox fight back in the final Duckworth-Lewis method overs. Barker sends its commendation to all Knox Old Boys players for their competitive nature throughout the match and to their sportsmanship displayed when dealing with an ever-changing target due to inclement weather, when many other clubs may have thrown their toys out of the pram. A number of players were added to the BOBs Honour Board this year, including:- • Thomas Burnett, Christopher Burnett and Ben Bryant all scoring centuries this season. • Thomas Burnett becoming the first BOB to reach 400 runs in a season. • 4 players passing 200 run tally mark. • Andrew Robinson setting a new club record taking 17 wickets this season, i ncluding a 4 haul in the final. • 3 players claiming 10 or more wickets in the season. The 2014/15 season award recipients include:- Most Valuable Player Thomas Burnett & Andrew Chapman Most Runs (416) Thomas Burnett Most Wickets (17) Andrew Robinson Senior Cricketer of the Year Alex Regan Rookie of the Year Andrew Chapman Statistically, it was a remarkable year for a number of players. Tom Burnett has cer- tainly lifted the bar in terms of run accumulation throughout a season. He along with his brother, Chris, and newcomer Andrew Chapman were the rock at the top order and went a long way to making our push late in the season. In the bowling department, Andrew Robinson, excelled with the ball and proved to be arguably the best spinner in the competition. The club looks forward to all fixtures in season 2015/16 and will certainly endeavour to defend the trophy.

BEAVERS Report to come.

COLLEAGUES CRICKET CLUB From: Woollahra Played 7 Won 3 Lost 4 Drawn 0 Cancelled 3 Season story here. 2014/15 was a tough year for the Blue Giants. We didn’t have the numbers each week. It has been decided that 2015/16 season will be a fresh approach and a big effort is going to be made to ensure the longevity of the club.

CRICKETERS’ CLUB OF NEW SOUTH WALES INC. From: Ian Allmey Played: 14; Won: 10 (1 by forfeit); Lost: 5; Drawn: 0 (rain); Cancelled: 4 (2 because of rain). 33 players turned out for the C&S side this season compared with 27 last season but only 19 of these were Club members and 14 were guests . This was made up of a core of 13 players who played 5 or more games, compared with 4 such play- ers last season. We won 10 games (one by forfeit) and lost 5 compared to last sea- son when we won 12 and lost 2. We lost in the quarter finals of the Jack Pace Trophy Only 2 games were cancelled by rain the same as last season. This year was a transition year for the club with a number long standing quality sen- ior players unavailable, however we also uncovered a number of talented new cricketers that have emerged and will hopefully form a big part of the nucleus of the of a traditionally strong C.C.N.S.W. team for years to come. One player in particular, Regan Smith who in his first game for the club against Yaralla, showed his qualities with a magnificent hundred and went on not only to score the most runs for the C.C.N.S.W. side, but also the most games for the club as well which is an amazing achievement for his fist year. We look forward to an exciting season ahead and continuing the proud tradition that the C.C.N.S.W. club has built in a competition that continues to grow in its standard of quality cricketers.

HUNTERS HILL CRICKET CLUB During the offseason HHCC merged with Ryde Hunters Hill Pirates Cricket Club [RHPCC]. RHPCC operate in the Inner West Harbour cricket competition, are rap- idly expanding with many junior and senior teams including a team in the masters competition. Our involvement with them has provided more certainty around reten- tion of Boronia Park No.1 oval for cricket, access to a wider range of facilities, administrative support and occasionally player input. The second half of the season was again full of disruptions due to inclement weath- er. HHCC welcomed a few new players which enabled us to generally field a full side each week. On the pitch we were a little more competitive than last season. We won 4 games and lost a few tights ones. Like last season though we did struggle to consistently put in good performances with bat and ball in the same game. Our bowling was probably stronger and more consistent than our batting. One enjoyable variation to the season, was a T20 game against Yaralla at Goddard Oval. It was at tight game and Yaralla came away with a victory with only a few balls to spare. Highlights of the season were: • Andrew Hobden’s 79 v Beavers, 57 v Yaralla • Tim Overland’sAndrew Hobden’s 79 against Beavers • Tim Overland’s 4/30 from 9 overs v Know Old Boys • Andy Ball’s 5/41 from 9 overs v St George Vets • Terry Reynolds 45 v St Aloysious Old Boys and 42 v Old Cranebrookian Cricket Club • Luke Ahern’s 3/44 from 9 overs v Old Cranebrookians Cricket Club and 5/25 v Nonedescripts • Sunny Punia’s 43no v Nonedescripts • Viren Fernando’s maiden half century – 60 v Sydney Windies

I ZINGARI AUSTRALIA From: Craig Hambleton Played 15 Won 8 Lost 5 Drawn 2 Cancelled 1 I Zingari Australia enjoyed another enjoyable season in the City & Suburban Association. Our thanks go to the Committee for their management of the Association and to our opponents who played tough, yet friendly cricket. Again, the Club enjoyed a successful season in the Jack Pace Shield reaching the semi finals before being out classed by Barker Old Boys. With regards to the season itself, I Zingari Australia was able to call upon a large number of members and guests to play for us. Consequently, only Marcus Braid appears in the Association’s averages list by scoring 287 runs in his City & Suburban matches. The main highlight was the outstanding batting of two young members, Ben van der Merwe and Andrew Burgess in a partnership of 163* against Colleagues. Both players ended the innings not out in their 90s. With regards to the bowling, Rory Darkins took 7/55 in his only City and Suburban match, while Lachlan O’Dowd took 5/54 in his first and only match of the season. We are looking forward to 2015-16.

KING’S OLD BOYS CRICKET CLUB From: Hugh Smith Played 12 Won 4 Lost 8 The 2014-15 season proved to be a difficult season for KOB’s. The team got off to a great start to the year winning 3 out of 4 games, including two Jack Pace games. Even though the Jack Pace Finals were not reached, the team was still successful on and off the field. The year was again hampered by a lot of weddings and other social events taking dedication from a small group of consistent attendees. Whilst the on-field success wasn’t great, the team still holds a strong bond and the off- field part of our game is very strong. The first game of the season against Sydney University Vets ended in a win for KOB’s. Whilst the batting scores were consistent throughout the innings, the field- ing was the thing that let our team down. A theme that proved to be our downfall throughout the year. The final three games of Jack Pace games proved to be a critical loss. The first was against Cricketer’s club in November. Unfortunately we were a man short and never in this game. As a team we only managed a small total. Whilst KOB’s didn’t make the finals, the season was a successful one from the poinbt of view of team’s man ship and comraderies’. The club is in a strong posi- tion; however a higher level of recruitment needs to be undertaken. We are hoping to continue the trend and build for future years. Awards for annual presentation were as follows: Best Player: Jason Hugo Clubman of the Year: Mark Griffiths Bowler of the Year: Mike Smith Batsman of the year: Hugh Smith

NONDESCRIPTS From: Richie Kenzie The season just passed was another good one for the Nondescripts CC. In total we commenced 14 games from 17 scheduled, which is a pretty high return. All told we won 9, lost 3 and had two games ruined by thunderstorms. Sadly for us, the storms came in the second innings with the Nondos in a strong positions both times. But not to worry. Regular season wins came against Kings Old Boys (twice) Yaralla, Paddington and Primary club. Our only regular season loss came when we, somewhat shamefully, mustered just 8 men in early January against Hunters Hill. They rightfully flogged us by 8 wickets. Our Jack Pace Shield campaign was again profitable. Pre Christmas we won against IZs – in an 8 run thriller at Northbridge – and also had victories over Sydney Uni Vets and Sydney Windies. We were washed out against Reg Bartley XI and lost the final JPS qualifier by four wickets against a strong Old Aloys team. This saw us qualify 6th for the finals and in the quarter final we managed to turn the tables on 3rd placed Old Aloys, defending 158 by 31 runs after an excellent all round team performance. For the third year running we drew Knox Old Boys in a semi final and sadly lost again, making 8/70 on a half sodden Gillespie Oval wicket after being sent in against arguably the competition’s premier bowling side. We ren- dered the Knox dressing sheds quiet at 4/26 in reply, but alas their middle order proved too good for us. In terms of individual performances opener Rob Thompson led the way with 320 runs at 40. He started the season on fire with scores of 80, 77no and 67 in the first three games before coming back to earth somewhat. Captain Viv Samdarshi hit 309 of his own with the highlight being a match-winning 104 against the Primary Club. Angus Stapleton, meanwhile, scored a maiden century with 102 in a brutal effort against Sydney Uni Vets, forming part of his aggregate of 249. His 59 against Old Aloys went a long way to winnings us the JPS Quarter Final as well. Former skipper James Marlay also contributed 195 runs throughout the season, with 50 against Kings OBs his best score. With the ball, opening bowlers Tom Colebatch and Lockie Davies led the way with 21 and 19 wickets respectively. Liam Cole also proved a destroyer in short sharp spells, taking 16 scalps of his own. Lockie’s 19 wickets impressively came at just 11.5 each. Lockie’s best figures were also our season’s best with 5/42 against the Primary Club. Tom managed a destructive 4/17 against Sydney Uni Vets, while Liam ran through Paddington’s middle order, taking 4/31. And behind the stumps, keeper Pete Lynar was at it again, pouching 17 catches, a few run outs and affecting a stumping. All in all though, another solid season of C/S cricket for the Nondescripts CC. I feel we played entertaining and fair cricket at all times and all the guys had great fun doing so. We also welcomed many new faces, which is crucial to maintaining viable in this competition. Here’s to another good season in 2015/2016.

OLD ALOYSIANS CRICKET CLUB Played 20 Won 11 Lost 6 Drawn 0 Cancelled 3 Once again Old Aloysians feel like they didn’t perform to expectations. We feel like we have got the strongest batting line up that we have had in a few years and have retained all the bowlers that have served us so well over the last couple of years. However, there were many things to celebrate this year including some very strong individual performances and team victories. The team looks forward to the success of next season and claiming that elusive JPS title that we have had our eyes on for a number of years.

OLD CRANBROOKIANS CRICKET CLUB From: Andrew “Ronnie” Johnstone – President Played 18 Won 12 Lost 4 Drawn 2 Cancelled 3 This season saw a return to a mostly sunny summer, with only 1 game cancelled due to wash out and 2 draws due to heavy rain in the second innings. This com- pared to 11 games last season and 10 the season before. We had one forfeit (by us, sadly) and one cancelled game due to the re-scheduling of the test match. In a first for the Club we started the season with a T20 match against Colleagues, a shortened format to ease the “old” boys into the season. We won that game emphatically meaning the Club had one hand on the CCCOCCC Up Cup. We then had a loss against Barker followed by good wins against the very strong Cricketers Club and I Zingari Club. Things were looking good at this stage for a successful season. Unfortunately we then lost 3 games in a row. With the arrival of December the Club hit back and started a run of 10 wins in a row. Scots, having just come back into the competition after a few years in the wilderness were our first victims, followed by a strong Kings side. The OCCC celebrated the end of 2014 with a wonderful Christmas Luncheon on the Friday before Christmas at the Light Brigade Hotel, our generous sponsor fol- lowed on the Sunday with the annual Club Match where the younger, fitter and more accomplished A’s outfit triumphed for a second year in row. Our start to the new year was delayed by the re-scheduling of the Sydney Test, fol- lowing the tragic death of Phil Hughes, having to cancel our scheduled game against old foes, St George Vets. The Club then proceeded to have wins against Paddington, the School 1st XI, the Primary Club, Scots, Cricketers Club and Colleagues, the later three for the second time this season. Finally our run of victo- ries was only halted by rain and lightning in the second innings of the game against Easts Masters. The Club finished the regular season in Sydney with a win over the Sydney Windies before the annual golf and cricket weekend in the Southern Highlands. Unfortunately the golf was fine but heavy rain meant the cricket was cancelled. A very successful season from the Club, not losing since November, with a number of significant highlights. No doubt one of the best was from Simon Baggott against Cricketers Club. Simon’s 123 NO all but single handedly won us the game and cer- tainly kept the normally vociferous CCNSW players more and more subdued as his innings went on. Sean-Paul McGoldrick’s 57 NO against I Zingari also dominated the game and steered us to a great win, unfortunately as good as his 74 against Hunters Hill was, SP was let down by the balance of the team, only managing 64 between them! Oliver Maxwell’s 47 against the Vets combined with Lachlan Chrystal’s heat and James Marshall’s guile combined to get the A’s home in the Club Match. David Ulm, James Garvan and Grant Lodge combined to keep Old Aloysians to 7 for 59, sadly this was still enough to pass the Club total of a paltry 58 all out. Felix Ackland’s 6 wickets demolished Colleagues who were all out for 48 - and that was not even the T20 match! Finally, Tom Pemberton’s 68 NO vs Easts Masters had set us up for a great victory only for the rain to interfere. There were quite a few other great individual performances, but the most pleasing aspect of the season was the great all round cricket displayed from some of the seasoned campaigners in Little, Ramsay and Bush as well as the performances of a good number of young School leavers, including Tom Mahony, Jack Remond, Hugo Martyr, Anthony MacDougall and Harry White. Combined with this the Club welcomed some very good Grade Cricketers including Henry Clarke, Oliver Maxwell and SP McGoldrick making a few appearances. Even Jackson Lemon returned for a game after an 18 month sojourn to all of the world’s great surfing spots. It was great to see many older faces throughout the season watching some great cricket and being well fed at Grosh’s BBQ in the Will Ashton Pavilion. A great way to spend many a sunny Sunday afternoon! See you at Dangar

OLD KNOXONIANS CRICKET CLUB Played 14 Won 12 Lost 2 Drawn 0 Cancelled 2 Season 2014/15 was another great season for the Old Knoxonians Cricket Club. For the third year in a row, we progressed through the round robin stages of the Jack Pace Shield competition to the knock out rounds in the number 1 position after winning 5 from 5. We came up against Reg Bartley XI in our quarter-final and put in a strong performance to win by 5 wickets. This meant that for the third con- secutive semi-final we came up against Nondescripts Cricket Club, and pleasingly the result was the same after we restricted them to 70 and chased it down in 17 overs. To claim the Jack Pace Shield, we had to overcome Barker Old Boys in the grand final. Unfortunately we lost by a very narrow margin in a rain affected match for the second year in a row. Well done to Barker on a great season. It was a shame for our season to end the way it did, however we can be extremely proud of our efforts on the day and throughout the entire summer with a record of 12 wins from 14 matches. Congratulations to Daniel Donaldson for taking out the Kelynack Cross Shield for player of the season. He was our only centurion this season and took two five wicket hauls with the ball (including a hat-trick). We welcomed a number of new faces to the club and continue to build a very for- midable playing roster. This is in part due to the style of cricket that is played in the City and Suburban Competition, which continues to be the preeminent cricketing format for both the ‘casually serious’ and ‘seriously casual’ cricketer. Many thanks to Brian and his team for facilitating another great season of cricket. The OKCC will be back bigger and better in 2015/16.

PADDINGTON From: Richard de Carvalho Played ? Won ? Lost ? Drawn ? Cancelled 3 Paddo started the season after a very successful winter tour to Singapore. Flew up on a Thursday, played Friday and Sunday and flew back Monday. Perfect for the time poor cricket tragics. We were hosted by the Singapore Cricket Club and they were exceptional hosts. They have a spectacular ground and Club com- plex in the heart of the city and also a unique and picturesque suburban ground. We would encourage other teams to try and tour there. The SCC went out of their way to look after us. Our C&S season was like many others. Mixed results, mixed performances and mixed weather. We seemed to win about as many as we lost, but unfortunately 3 teams cancelled against us. Special thanks to St George who helped us out by supplying us with a couple of players and agreeing to play 10 a side to ensure we got a game in. We try to do the same to other teams if we know soon enough. We picked up a few younger players to bolster the roster and look forward to see- ing more of them next year. Just need our better players to play more often.... We returned to Waterloo after it was unavailable to us last season due to drainage works. The ground was a little shabby to start as it recovered from a tough footy season but was in great knick by Christmas. Unfortunately our last 7 games were away games and we missed the best of the wicket. Next season we will try and play most of our away games early in the season and stay at home as much as possible in the new year.

ST. GEORGE VETS C.C. From: Ben Connell Played 17 Won 8 Lost 7 Drawn 2 Cancelled 1 St. George Veterans C.C. enjoyed a successful 2014.15 season both on and off the field. We are grateful for the access we have to our home grounds at Cahill Park, Tonkin Oval and Glenn McGrath Oval. Thanks go to the groundsmen who prepare the wickets and to our SDCC contact Tom Iceton and SGDC contact Kevin Green for their ongoing support of the club. The club fielded teams over 17 games from a squad of 33 players aged between 12 and 71. Player numbers are strong. Fortunately only 2 games were washed out with 1 other game cancelled just after New Year 2015. This season saw the Vets compete strongly in most games winning 8 of the 15 completed matches. This great club is founded on playing the game in the right spirit, observing traditions, and honouring our senior playing group through the opportunity to mentor the next generation of players. It is a pleasure to lead this side and I would like to pay tribute to my vice-captains Sam Sciacca, Dean Bell and Peter Lanham for their support in administering the club and leading the team in my absence. The Vets have a well-earned reputation for providing an excellent afternoon tea and my sincere thanks go to the Brothers Barden, Dean & Kirk, along with all those who have contributed (a special mention to Nicole Neale for those delicious Brownies). The most pleasing aspects of this season were the number of new players to the club, the emergence of some excellent new young talent and the fact that all play- ers were given the opportunity to make a contribution in every game. Our batting this season was generally very consistent. We were only bowled out in 5 of 15 completed innings. Whilst we did not achieve an individual century or cen- tury partnership, there were ten partnerships between 53 & 83 with 8 of these being for the first, second or third wickets. Six players scored 50’s. Of the 10 fifty’s scored, 5 were not out. A special mention goes to Sam Sciacca who achieved the very rare feat of carrying his bat for 51 not out in the final game against Paddington Benefiting from these strong starts, I was fortunate enough to lead the run scoring with 425 runs @ 85 from 9 innings. Dean Barden (326 @ 27.17) offered us consis- tency at the top of the order. In his 13 innings Dean scored between 22 and 38 on 8 occasions with a high score of 76 not out. Kevin Calitz only batted four times but finished with the impressive stats of 173 runs @ 57.67. We hope to see more of Kevin next season. Sean Thornton played a couple of games before going to 5th Grade at SDCC and contributed 93 runs @ 46.50. Other notable contributions came from Nick Cassimatis (146 @ 12.17), Sam Sciacca (161 @ 26.83), Kirk Barden (168 @ 28) and Mason Neale (123 @ 30.75). Our bowling attack offered variety with a number of genuine quicks supported by wily medium pacers and a battery of spinning options which in some cases com- prised up to four leg spinners. Through a mix of youth and experience and a much improved fielding performance overall, the Vets managed to challenge most of the opposition batting line-ups. Whilst no bowler achieved 20 wickets, we had ten bowlers with 5 wickets or more. The leading wicket taker was Damien Bray with 13 in only 4 games played at the miserly average of 12.08. Damien took 7-43 from 9 overs in the round 2 game against CCNSW. CCNSW chasing 193 for victory were 0-58 from 6 overs when Damien was introduced into the attack. Bowling in tandem with Rick Glover they bowled the Vets to one of the greatest victories in our 75 year history, dismissing CCNSW for just 120 in 23 overs. Their combined figures were 18-6-9-61. We need to convince wife Lucy to let Damo play more regularly. Rick Glover at 71 again bowled with control and purpose taking 9 wickets. Peter Howard joined us from Radio Physics and proved a handful taking 9 wickets. Dave Cush took 6 wickets @ 11.17, demonstrating his superb control and use of swing and movement off the pitch. A wonderful performance by all and congratulations on your conduct and the gen- uine spirit of fair play shown by all players throughout the season. On Friday 13th June 2014 we held our 75th Anniversary Dinner. Both current and former players and their spouses attended the formal event at Tattersalls Club. We were appreciative of the association members who attended and also Ron Holmes, who put together a table of Cricketers Club of NSW stalwarts to support the evening. The highlight of the night was the presentation by one of our joint patrons, Ralph Sadler, on the early history of the club. The St George Veterans Cricket Club was formed in 1935 and became a member of the City and Suburban Cricket Association in 1938. The man most responsible for the formation of the club was Harold Fraser, who played first grade rugby and cricket before enlisting in the army in World War 1. Harold fought at Gallipoli before being evacuated in December of 1915. A young had his 21st birth- day party at Harold’s house. Ralph also enlightened us on the history and battles with council for our home grounds at Kogarah Jubilee Oval and Harold Fraser Oval. He finished off with our club statistics which indicated that Ralph with 6,044 runs was the leading run scor- er for the club, and Rick Glover with 636 wickets was the leading wicket taker. I wish to thank club president Rick Glover and former Secretary Peter Lanham for their efforts to mark our 75th Anniversary with such a successful event. I would also like to take this opportunity to thank our club patrons Dr David Horton, Dick McCabe and Ralph Sadler.

SYDNEY UNIVERSITY C&S From: Paul Moorhouse Scheduled: 21 Won: 5 Lost: 10 Draw (weather intervened): 2 Other side forfeited: 1 Washed Out: 3 The 2014/15 season proved to be a mixed one for Sydney University C&S (more commonly known as Sydney Uni Vets). We won only one game up to the Xmas break. After Xmas we put together a few better performances, which saw us win two games in January, as well as our last two games in March, with a series of losses, washouts and a forfeit in between. In part, our mixed performance reflected the loss of some of our regular players from the previous season. We struggled to fill the side from our playing list and our top order had a different look every week. The shortage of regular players meant that we often made up our numbers with the assistance of younger players from the SUCC squad – thanks to SUCC coach, Gary Whittaker, and administrator, Dale Bryant, for arranging for members of the SUCC green shield and metro cup squads to play for us whenever we were short. The young SUCC players inevitably added to the strength of our side, as well as being a pleasure to play with. You do not win many cricket matches unless you put a decent score on the board, and this was our problem for much of the season. Up to Xmas we scored above 120 only once, being 141 against a strong I-Zingari side on the back of a free scor- ing 71 from Tim Croft. Things improved a little after Xmas, with a number of decent batting performances resulting in wins or narrow losses. We continued our recent record of playing some of our best cricket against the Cricketers Club. This season we played them 3 times, for one win and two losses. The losses were both close, and we could easily have won all 3 games. The first of those games saw one of our best bowling and fielding performances of the season, dismissing CC for 134 (Moorhouse 4-31; Croft 3-29; Nick Dale 2-14). Unfortunately in reply we struggled against the tidy CC bowling, and were 4-34 at drinks, eventually finishing at 9-110. The next game against CC was an excellent performance. We batted first, and after opener James Eather (17) had started us strongly Stoop (25) was joined by Green Shield batsman Eoin Liehr (43) in a key partnership that set us up for a competitive total. We reached 163 as a result of some innovative shots towards the end from Josh Autridge (24) and Nick Tracey (21*). When we took to the field the opposition opener was dropped in the 1st and 2nd overs, and he proceeded to smash 79 from 53 balls. However, the rest of the CC batsmen struggled against our disciplined bowling, and their innings fell away badly once we got their opener. CC were dismissed for 133. Two wickets for each of Dale, Jesse Kehoe and Elijah Eales, but it really was a good effort by all the bowlers. We also threatened to win the final game of the season against CC, after posting our best score of the season, 6-187, with contributions from all of the top 5: in order Stevens (48), Hunter (17), Stoop (58), Autridge (13) and Croft (47*). [If only we had a few more occasions during the season when most of the top order contributed!!] Unfortunately we dropped the aggressive CC no. 3 batsman at least 3 times before eventually dismissing him for 86, and CC passed our score 7 wick- ets down in the 34th over. We managed two wins from two against Beavers, including late in the season after Stevens (3-19), Behrendorff (2-15) and Ferguson (2-35) had starred with the ball in restricting Beavers to 8-146. In reply, Stevens (21) and Islam got us off to a solid start, before Ed Lewis (26) and Jeremy Goff (16) put on high tempo partnerships with Islam, ensuring that the required run rate was never a problem. Islam carried his bat through the innings for a very well played 66*, and we comfortably passed the required score 5-149 in the 32nd over. We also had the measure of Hunters Hill, with two wins from our two games. The first of those wins saw our strongest performance of the season, with Aiden Stoop bowling a memorable spell to finish with 2-19 from 8 overs against the HH top order, only for older brother Elmo to run through the lower order with his leggies and take 4-10. In reply, thanks to our best partnership of the season (Angus Stevens 75*; Phil Logan 21*), we passed the HH total of 102 without losing a wick- et. At the other end of the equation, we suffered some heavy losses, most notably being flogged by Barker OBs to the tune of 5-257 at St Andrews, with many balls having to be retrieved from beyond the small St Andrews boundaries. Of course, it is not all about winning, and the spirit amongst the team was strong, with seasoned players such as Moorhouse, Stoop, Freeman, Anderson and Logan enjoying the company of newer players to the Vets as well as the many young SUCC players who played with us this season. We saw a few more games this season from SUCC stalwart Tim Croft, who added to our batting and bowling strength whenever he played. Angus Stevens also contributed with both bat and ball most games he played. Keeper Pieter Mees added greatly to the quality of our fielding and banter whenever he played, as well as introducing us to a few of his Dutch mates for some games (notably his brother, who played a match turning innings of 47 in our final game of the season). New players Alex Hunter, Al ‘Smokey’ Yap and Josh Autridge also made worthwhile contributions, and we look forward to having you back with the Vets next season. Thanks also to Rupert Coy, Ajeet Kumar, Jez Holland, Rob Manning, John LeCouteur and Ben Tyler for turning out occasionally – we hope to see more of you next season. Leading run scorer for the season was Elmo Stoop, with 267 runs at 20.5. Congratulations to Elmo, who again showed at times what a quality player he can be, although he did not score as heavily as he has in past seasons. The fact that Elmo was the only player to score over 200 runs, and our only player to have bat- ted more than 10 times this season, was an indication of how our season went. Tim Croft and Angus Stevens both made notable contributions with the bat, with both averaging about 40 and Angus (75*) narrowly pipping Tim (71) for our highest individual score of the season. With the ball Moorhouse was the leading wicket taker, with 22 wickets at 12.5. Other notable contributions with the ball came from Stoop (10 wickets at 15), Yap (12 wickets at 13.3), Croft (10 wickets at 17.3) and Stevens (7 wickets at 12.4). As well as the regular C&S fixtures, we also played two T20 matches under lights at Alan Davidson Oval. Although we lost both games, they were very enjoyable, not least because on each occasion the evening finished with beer and sausages with the opposition. It is a treat for park cricketers like us to play under lights, and many thanks to South Rangers for organising these games and for playing them in such good spirit – we’d love a chance to even the score next season. Finally, a special acknowledgement to club stalwart Greg Aird, who kept the SU Vets alive and kicking over many seasons during the 2000s. Greg was not able to play this season, but is threatening a return!! Either way, thanks Greg for all of your efforts over the years. A big thanks to all those who turned out on the park for the Vets this year – I am sorry if I have not mentioned you in the report above; and thanks also to everyone who helped to organise the team this year.

SYDNEY WINDIES To come.

YARALLA CC 1891 INC From: David Ross - Club Captain Played: 12 out of a scheduled 18 Won 6 Lost 5 Draw 1 Washed Out/Forfeit/Cancelled 6 Season 2014/2015 was another enjoyable season of cricket at the always splendid Goddard Park, if a little bit disjointed for the club. Of the 18 matches scheduled for this season, a third were unable to take due to either inclement weather, scheduling issues or opposition forfeits. On the field the club was competitive as always, making the Jack Pace Shield knockout stages for another year. However the side never really got going due to a high turnover of players from week to week, resulting in 6 wins, 5 losses and 1 draw. During the season, a total of 30 players turned out for the club, including 7 debutants. A tight quarter final defeat to I Zingari CC in the JPS Quarter Finals was a true reflection of the side’s season. The side showed flashes of brilliance and was competitive at all times, but ultimately fell short due to leaking a few too many runs at crucial times, or giving away a wicket due to a silly mistake. The season started reasonably for Yaralla Cricket Club, winning 4 of our 8 matches prior to the Christmas break. Typically we were competitive in the Jack Pace Shield rounds and weaker for our alternate fixtures. All in all, we won 3 and drew 1 to allow us to place in the top 8 and reach the quarter finals for another year. Unfortunately our annual clash against Newington College was the one washout and we look forward to re-establishing this bond with the school at Goddard next season. Highlights for the club were 100’s for Brad Clare (110 off 99 balls v. Nondescripts CC) and Nathan Ross (101* off 114 balls v. Beavers CC). The 2nd half of our season was far more disjointed, with Yaralla only taking part in 4 fixtures after the New Year. Two of these were losses to I Zingari Cricket Club, including a Jack Pace Shield quarter final defeat. Credit must go to IZ’s, who were understaffed with a large contingent away for a tour to NZ, but they were far too clinical on the day and deserved the win. A definite positive was the great spirit enjoyed with Beavers and Hunters Hill clubs in our last 2 fixtures that were short- ened to T20 fixtures. Both clashes were highly entertaining and resulted in narrow wins for Yaralla. Plaudits to our form batsmen David Telfer (335 runs at 55.83), Nathan Ross (319 runs at 53.17) & Brad Clare (312 runs at 62.4) who all made 300+ runs and aver- aged over 50. On the bowling side our stats weren’t quite as impressive. David Telfer was the leading wicket taker (10 at 17.5), with David Ross (8 at 16) and Craig Hollister (8 at 21.63) joint next best. The Club is indebted to Captain David Ross for his leadership on the field (as well as his bowling and occasional run scoring) but particularly for his organisation of the team each week, collecting money and the numerous other tasks that he fulfills to keep the club going. Thank you David for your untiring efforts. A big thank you to Craig Hilton, the club vice-captain and who led the side at vari- ous times during the year. Thanks must also go to Brian Breakspear for his help with the club whilst combining his duties with the Association, and to Mr. Barry Ross for his role with the club once again, combining both scoring duties and entertainment for opposition sides during the year. Thanks again to Nick Maiden, Bob Marshall and President David Stanley for the administrative assistance throughout the year. The club would also like to take this chance to thank the C & S Association Executive for the organisation and administration of the competition this year. We also express our appreciation to the City of Canada Bay Council ground staff for their preparation of Goddard Park, helping to maintain its position as the “PRE- MIER” ground and wicket in the C&S Association. Our groundsmen Adam was often on hand to provide updates on weather and was more than happy to help with any special requests we might have had. Thank you to the City of Canada Bay Council’s facilities booking officer for their assistance during the challenging weather this past summer and finally to the Mayor of the City of Canada Bay for his support of the club and role as Patron. We appreciate your support. Thanks to all those who turned out for Yaralla this season, and to all those that vis- ited during 2014/2015. We look forward to another successful and enjoyable sea- son for Yaralla Cricket Club and C & S cricket in the coming years.

ADDENDUM When compiling the 112th Annual Report of the Association, it was noted that the following Cricket Clubs did not submit Annual Reports. WYVERN CRICKET CLUB. Wyvern Cricket Club has not been an active playing Club for a number of cricket seasons. It was decided by the Association Delegates that the Club remain within the membership of the Association, in the event that the Club may be in a position to commence playing cricket. RADIO PHYSICS CRICKET CLUB Radio Physics Cricket Club did not enter a team in the Association’s fixtures as at the 2013-14 cricket season. It is with disappointment that this long serving cricket club will again, not be playing on the cricket fields of the Association. Sighting fam- ily and personal commitments as a contributing factor to non-sustaining a compli- ment of players. OLD SYDNEANS CRICKET CLUB Old Sydneans Cricket Club are in a similar position to that of the former cricket clubs. Long serving Club Secretary, Nick Eastmen, has endeavoured over the past seasons to organise player numbers, by reducing the number of match fixtures. Time with work and personal commitments take their toll, and in Nick’s case this would be understanding. The forthcoming cricket season 2015-16 will hopefully see the Old Sydneans C.C. on the turf pitches this Summer. Brian Breakspear Association Secretary STATISTICAL SECTION Season 2014/2015
