It is very pleasing to me that we have achieved a situation where many of the positions on the Board are held by players, and much of the administration of the Club is carried out by players.

The Club is also proud to provide another board member to - Bruce Collins, who is, of course, our president as well as chairman of the Sydney Cricket Association. I wish all players a happy and successful season in 2005-06. I say to you, as always: continue to enjoy your cricket and the results will follow.

He, along with others, looked into the abyss of possible relegation and acted to avoid one of our Club's darkest hours. We owe Ian a University supporters celebrating our 1st Grade win. great debt of thanks. John has been an integral part of our Club for the past six seasons. He has been fully involved since his son, Luke, first began playing with our Green Shield team. John has followed Luke up through the grades, and once Luke started playing regularly on No 1 Oval, John took over the running of the canteen. John has been one of our most enthusiastic, Club-orientated members. The effort he put into fundraising and the general running of match days often went unnoticed. John will be following Luke to St George District Cricket Club. We will miss them both. The running of any Grade club is difficult, and cannot be achieved without the input of many volunteers. I would like to thank my fellow Board members for their assistance in overseeing the overall wellbeing of SUCC. I would also like to thank Marie and Malcolm Cann, whose help and good cheer are appreciated by all the players. It was fitting that John Reynolds and Malcolm jointly shared the Clubman of the Year award. Over the past couple of seasons, SUCC has oscillated in the Club Championship, winning in 2000- 01 and 2004-05 and coming second in 2002-03, but falling considerably in the standings in the intervening years. We need to maintain the highs and flatten out the troughs so that we are always in the running for this most important benchmark come season's end.

So, for the first time, the roles of Chairman and Treasurer of the Foundation resided in two people. Neil Raffan was appointed as Treasurer. He has had a remarkably successful career with the Club, having played in two premiership sides and a runners up side in a relatively brief career of four seasons. And he works with quiet and meticulous efficiency. He has brought much considered financial knowledge and expertise and a love for the Club to the workings of the Foundation. The benefits of his careful management are there to read in the report and financial summary below. What have we done in 2004-05? We've continued to support the Club through scholarships and financial assistance to players, by contributing to the Club's tour to India and Sri Lanka in December and January, by contributing to the acknowledgements of the Club's extraordinary on field success...in particular, the Club Championship, the 1st Grade and 6th Grade premierships... and by helping purchase a new fairway mower for our grounds. This contribution ensured that No 1 Oval was in exemplary state for the first ever 1 st Grade Final held there in April this year.

(Note: I'm not going to complain about hitting across the line, considering the nature of a certain someone's game.) From here, the tide shifted, therefore producing a smile on the captain's face, because the lessons we had talked about in the previous game had started to come into effect. From here the composure of Sam McKay's bowling (2-52 off 16 overs) in the last over proved to be the difference as we won on the ante-penultimate ball of the day As time stopped and people passed by No.1 Oval, people could be excused for thinking we had won a grand final. It was a good feeling, and this raw emotion was carried into the next game against Hawksbury, which followed similar circumstances.

There were encouraging signs amidst these extraordinary batting displays. The centuries scored in the finals series by Jack Manning-Bancroft, Nick Burke and Nick Dowsley were high quality efforts, worthy of much higher grades. Jack's innings was the highlight of the season. He had experienced a wretched start - three ducks in his first three innings, demoted to 6th Grade, worked harder than any other in the Club at training, gradually regained confidence, scored a century in 6th Grade, and then batted with authority in 5th Grade. His 121 no in the preliminary final came after he entered at 4-37 and it was faultless until he was dropped at fine leg when 97. If ever any individual performance was match winning, this was it - and in a game which we won by 28 when Jack's throw hit the stumps from side-on to run out their last batsman. Nick Burke's 124 in the semi-final was dominant as he guided us to an unbeatable total. His batting is determined. He's had a profitable first season in Greg Metcalfe, taking some of his own medicine.

SUCC ANNUAL REPORT 2006-07 SUCC ANNUAL REPORT 2006-07 SU C C Vice-Presidents Sydney Uni Sport Blues for Cricket

(AGM when first elected) The Sydney University Sports Union was established in 1890 and began to award Blues tor cricket in 1894. The criteria have changed over time. Usually Blues have been awarded only to current University students, R EAlexander 1969 P W Logan 1990 but Tom Garrett was awarded a Blue in 1894 more than twenty years after attending his last lecture. At one H Anderson 1993 G B T Lovell 1990 time the sole qualification for a Blue was an appearance in the annual Intervarsity match against Melbourne. Hon Justice D Arnnati 1978 P H T Lovell 1965 In more recent times, Blues have been awarded to enrolled students who have played at least the majority J Baird 1979 P Mackay 1983 of First Grade matches in a season and have satisfied the Blues Committee that they have performed to a JW Banks 1991 DrW J Mackie 1964 sufficiently high standard.
