I wish to express my thanks on your behalf to Senior Vice President Paul Stapleton, Administration Officer Craig Menzies, Treasurer Paul Vanderlight and Club Secretaries James Scott (Carlingford Waratah), Tom McMurtry (Epping YMCA), Paul Stewart (Meadowbank), Scott Martin (North Ryde RSL), Matt Roberts (Rydalmere), Robert Kordish (Vikings) and Alan Harrison (West Ryde Rovers), for their assistance in running the Senior cricket during the season. Also my thanks to Junior Chairman Greg Berriman and the Junior Executive Committee and Committee Members for the running of the Junior Competition. We specially thank Greg Berriman of Rydalmere and Dundas United CCs for organising the printing. The Grading Committee consisted of each Club Secretary or Delegate along with the President, Administration Officer, Treasurer and Senior Vice President. There were only four nominations for 1st Grade and after lengthy discussions and debate Rydalmere and North Ryde RSL had an extra team each promoted to 1st Grade thus having a six team competition instead of a four team competition. The grading of 1st grade would be continually assessed during the season and feedback would be discussed prior to next season’s Grading Committee. 31 teams nominated for the senior competition with the Grading Committee finally settling on five grades. First to fourth grades comprised six teams each and 5th grade containing seven sides thus creating a bye. In 2nd grade the new team pulled out after the Grading, causing a bye in 2nd Grade. Each player was given five (5) provisional matches to enable the Executive Committee to control the grading of the players during the season. We convey our thanks to the Grading Committee for their time and effort in carrying out their duties. Our aim is to continually improve the system of the Grading of teams and players whilst working with myCricket statistics. 66 Junior teams registered to compete across the 10 Junior grades from Under 16 to Under 9 which was an increase of 5 teams from last season. We convey our thanks to the Junior Committee in running the Junior competitions and the assistance provided from the Clubs. Also we must recognise the efforts by the Junior Committee in organising the qualifications of Junior Umpires amongst their ranks of coaches, managers, parents and players. We saw the next step up by these umpires into the Rep games and both the Junior and Senior games including the semis and finals thus gaining more experience out in the middle. We will continue to encourage Juniors as well as Seniors to sit for their Umpires ticket and make themselves available to umpire during the senior season. The myCricket electronic system is now working better for all with the occasional late entries being entered. As a result fines and penalties have been applied to the seniors which will need further discussions and agreement by all on the most applicable penalty system for late entry of results. We convey our thanks to the Local Government Councils and staff for their assistance and allocation of the various grounds for seniors and juniors for the season, those Councils being Ryde, Hornsby and Parramatta. Ryde City Council at their Council meeting in late 2012 presented me with a plaque “IN COMMERATION OF NORTHERN DISTRICT CRICKET ASSOCIATION ACHIEVING 100 SEASONS OF CRICKET IN THE CITY OF RYDE 1908 – 2012”. I accepted it on behalf of NDCA from the Mayor City OF Ryde Clr Ivan Petch. We also thank the local Schools and staff for allowing us to play on their grounds for juniors and seniors, those schools were Epping Boys High School, Epping North Primary and Carlingford Primary. We must also acknowledge our thanks to the Junior Clubs in organising with Councils and schools for the hire of grounds for the Junior Competitions. NDCA was represented at the Ryde City Sports Advisory Council Meetings, the Meadowbank Users Group and the Hornsby Shire Council Sports Council Meetings during the season. At the Hornsby December meeting it was agreed to disband the regular meeting and only meet at the summer and winter allocation nights. NDCA still have direct discussions with Hornsby Council regarding cricket matters if and when they arrive. We again ran a Captain’s night at the start of the season and it was well attended.
