To My Brothers and Sisters,

In the Randwick Club Jubilee Book (1900-1950), Ossie Taylor, who held the Randwick Petersham 16th Annual Report 2016-17 positions of President and Secretary of the club between 1928 and 1951, made the following comment which is as valid today as it was then:

“Certainly cricket should be played to win. But in winning, do not allow the spirit and sportsmanship of the game to be sunk in a morass of ill-feeling.”

TRUST RESPECT HUMILITY

President’s Report 2016-17

Ladies and Gentlemen of Randwick Petersham Cricket, I am delighted to present to you my 16th report on the activities of our club for the 2016-17 season. And while it was somewhat of a mixed season in terms of performances on the field I am pleased to have the 5th Grade Dave Sherwood Premiership Cup back at Coogee Oval. Led expertly by seasoned veteran Nigil Singh, our youngsters played brilliantly in the 5th Grade Grand Final at Hurstville Oval. It was simply superb cricket and their domination in the most pressure- packed match they have played indicates the high level of quality we have among our up-and-coming players. They will be the 1st graders of the future and their progress is sure to command plenty of interest and excitement.

And talking of talent we again were able to produce one of the best 1st Grade sides in the competition. They played brilliant cricket and were the top outfit in 1st Grade. They averaged 287 runs for each of the 15 Belvidere Cup matches which was far and away the best in the competition. But frustratingly, three draws towards the end of the season left the team in seventh in the race for the top six to contest the finals. It was the third season in a row the side has narrowly missed out on a finals berth. And to add to the heartbreak, they lost just one match as defending Premiers in the Twenty 20 Cup but with eight teams finishing on 18 points and seven to advance to the finals, they were the one to miss out on quotient. The boys did well in the Limited Overs competition to finish as minor premiers but lost the semi-final to Hawkesbury at Coogee Oval. As we all know, to win a Sydney Grade or should I say, a NSW Premier Cricket premiership, you need a little luck along the way. Sadly that did not fall our way this season. But that does not hamper our appreciation for the way everyone played the game. We have a lot to be proud about for their efforts.

Club Championship Once again the big disappointment was the Club Championship. Unfortunately we seem to have a mortgage on 11th place. We finished in that spot again this year for the third season in a row! With two matches to go we were 14th but with a “Greenwash” against Easts (our second of the season) in the final round winning all grades (although 2nds actually tied their match) we were able to sneak into our “usual” spot. Earlier in the season we were really struggling in 17th place but kicked up to 11th after beating North Sydney in all five grades. Despite some good wins we could not improve our position in the three months which followed. As everyone knows, we regard the Club Championship as our prime aim as it indicates the strength of the club. Having finished out of the top 10 in four of the past six years it will be high priority next summer to at least make the top five.

1st Grade Players The loss of a few players from our previous season’s 1st Grade team created new opportunities for others with the result we had six 1st Grade debutants this summer. While we welcomed Greg West, Matt Critchley and Pat Magann as new players to the club, I have to say I was very pleased to see Kushaal Ram and Suffan Hassan get their 1st Grade cap. They have been hard workers in the lower grades in recent seasons and their elevation was due reward for persistency and determination. I was also delighted that could join us from Ireland under our scholarship arrangement with Irish Cricket. He is now part of their national team and we like to think we had a bit of a hand in his development in gaining that recognition.

What about the season Anthony Sams had! He became only the fourth player in our 16 years to have passed the 1,000 runs mark for the season when he racked up 1,062. And he’s the ‘keeper! He also snared another 33 behind the sticks to pass 250 dismissals—the best we’ve ever had. Nathan Price wasn’t far behind with 952 of which 494 came in his last seven digs. He also smashed 36 sixes—10 more than any other player. He also belted 9 in an innings of 140 against Mosman.

Daniel Sams was again the star with the ball taking 49 wickets to go with the 48 he took last year. The Sydney Sixers didn’t miss him either and he made their Academy as did his brother Anthony and Nathan Price. The three of them also played for NSW Second XI against Canterbury (NZ) and were named in the Kingsgrove Sports Merit XII-1st Grade Team of the Year. Jason Sangha also played for NSW Second XI v Canterbury and plenty of other rep games including the Australian under 19s, Prime Minister’s XI and in the CA XI v Pakistan among others. Soumil Chhibber was also named as a Big Bash rookie.

And how about Adam Semple! The guy just won’t lie down and had his best season with the ball taking 41 wickets including a 7- 64 effort against Campbelltown-Camden, one of the best efforts in the whole competition. He brought up a couple of batting and milestones and remains one of the best cricketers ever to play for Randwick Petersham. He stepped down from the captaincy this year in favour of Alex Kemp who did a great job as well as scoring a heap of runs.

Lower Grades Winning the 5th Grade premiership gave us all a real bu as the boys played their best cricket when it counts most—at the business end of the season. Nigil Singh led them well while having his best season with 56 wickets in his 20th season. It was fitting reward for him to be named Player of the Grand inal. And we almost had 4th Grade in the finals finishing eual sixth on points but relegated to eighth on quotient. It’s the best they’ve done for a few years and gives us plenty of optimism for the future. That said, a couple of the evergreens in that side—arl Schubert and Matt Wallis—have announced their retirement after a successful andy Petes career. They have been fantastic performers and I wish them well in retirement while hoping it may be a short one!

Third Grade looked a bit of a hope of making the finals at times, but the close games got away. eteran skipper od Stafford brought up 400 wickets for PC while ohn Mcoughlin, who missed most of the season with an injury, was the first to pass 6,000 runs for the club. ack ames also made the record books as the youngest ever to hit a ton for the club in 3rd Grade. Tom Holland was the club’s newest skipper taking the reins in 2nd Grade. And while they looked out of it most of the season the side played some good cricket. New recruit Matt verett looks a likely type and his top score of 195 was the third highest for us in 2s and third highest in the competition for the season. Anyone hitting 542 runs in their first season in Grade is a good player. ushaal am took the bowling honours with 27 scalps but ames Tyson who finished just behind on 23 was another to talk retirement at season’s end. With 196 wickets in 2s to his credit we hope he relents and lines up again next summer even if to just grab those elusive four poles! He is another who has been a terrific performer for the club over a long period both as player and administrator. I wish him well but hope to see him back on deck with that shiny new cherry in his hand.

Metro Cup The RPC Gold team couldn’t quite repeat last season’s Grand Final appearance but came close in making the semis. Skipper John Stewart has had his young charges really firing in recent years. ur second side PC Green finished eighth. The strength of these two development units is emphasised by the success of the 5th Grade team as players from both these sides feed into 5s. A new Metro opening batting partnership record of a massive 17 by Neale Crawford and 16 year old el Mullins underlines the talent in the ranks. Many thanks to the Metro admin men, ohn Stewart, eremy astrab and a brave enis Hinds who devastatingly lost his daughter to cancer during the season.

Age competitions When considering the young talent within the club it continues to amae me that we struggle in the Poidevin Gray and A W Green Shield competitions. The AW Green boys however, were terrific this year and while they finished well back it may have been a different story had they won two close matches. They really turned the tables on Hawkesbury who kept us out of the Grand inal the previous year achieving a 7 wicket victory on their home turf. ehaan Nawa, his dad Aden and aya Murdita did a good job with the side. ehaan and Aden have moved on and will not be with us next season. I wish them well for the future.

ut what about the Poidevin Gray! How disappointing. A great side on paper, particularly in the batting, yet they brought home the wooden spoon having lost all six matches! Sadly that’s the second time since 200910 the team has failed to win a match and finished 20th out of 20. With four players with 1st Grade experience I expected to do much better. The best we have done in our 16 years in this competition is fifth in 201011. ur performance next season will be a priority. It has to be.

Sponsors nce again our sponsorship support was outstanding. rilliant in fact. To think we have in the order of 25 sponsorship partners makes us all extremely honoured. eastwear continued as our Platinum Sponsor while other new organisations joining the andwick Petersham Cricket family were Specsavers at Marrickville Tsing Tao Chinese beer C Travel Professionals TG Immigration Services Impala Sports SS ehydrate ernadette Summers astern eaches Property Specialists eal state lite Chiropractic and S1.The generosity of these businesses along with our key sponsors enable us to undertake programs and provide facilities we would otherwise not be able to do. Their importance to our continued success is immeasurable and we thank them all for their ongoing support and friendship. Special thanks to Sydney City Toyota for providing our champion allrounder aniel Sams with the use of a vehicle. nder the leadership of ohn Stewart and Neale Anderson the sponsorship and marketing team have been ably supported by Mike Whitney, ill Anderson, Nigil Singh and Carmel Soames. Thanks also go to the countless volunteers who assisted at the Taste of Coogee and the adies Charity day. A detailed list of our sponsors has been included in this report and I urge all members and club followers to return the support they have given us by helping develop their businesses through use of their facilities, expertise and products.

Club Management There is little doubt that one of the reasons for our success over the past 16 years has been our stable management. In all that time there has been only minor change each season to office bearer and committee membership. The Club Management page of this report indicates uite clearly the dedication of a number of people through their many years of voluntary service. We are very fortunate to have such a wonderful pool of experienced and dedicated people managing our club. It’s also incredible to think that since the merger in 2001 Alan Wright, his brother Peter and Chris Sullivan have been committee members throughout that 16 years. Alan completed his 16th year as Chairman of Selectors while Peter has been looking after our affairs as Association level for the same length of time. Chris has also been involved with our social and fundraising events throughout.

It’s always a sad time when we have to say goodbe to someone who has made an outstanding contribution to the club over a considerable period of time. And in that regard I want to record my eternal thanks and gratitude to avid olland who has decided to step down as Chief Executive Officer. David has been most effective in that role over the past eight years. It’s a tough job and avid has undertaken the duties with diligence honesty and integrity. is dedication has ensured the level of stability in our administration I referred to earlier. e will not be lost to us however and will continue to be involved where he can particularly undertaking a few scoring duties and the like. Thank you avid. We wish you well.

And talking about being grateful for the work some people put into the club our heartfelt thanks are again extended to ill Anderson in his role as irector of Cricket Operations. Many clubs would be envious of Bill’s contribution along with his expertise and knowledge in dealing with sportsmen at the highest level. As a mentor and advisor there are few better.

Finances When I started with Randwick in 196 it cost a little under 00 to run the club for the season. In those days the bats pads and wicketkeeping gloves were supplied and owned by the club and were listed as an asset in the balance sheet. While the club doesn’t have to worry about all that personal gear these days the cost of running the club has risen about fold to over $400,000! Amazing stuff. It’s like a small business these days and we need expert financial management to keep on top of it all. Fortunately that’s just what we have with Financial Controller James Tyson doing a great ob.

Coaching Club Coach Greg Small brought a new dimension to our coaching and development program last season and continued the good work this year. e was well assisted by Simon Gould and with the engagement of a number of specialist playercoaches the programs were well served. ur th Grade premiership youngsters benefited from their expertise and they along with the many other talented unior players in our ranks are sure to further develop their skills in the seasons ahead. It’s always a thrill to see promising young players doing their stuff in the middle and many of us experienced that this season watching from the sidelines.

Volunteers When Randwick Petersham came into being back in 2001 there was an understandable air of excitement with many people putting up their hand to help get “the show on the road”. But what a pleasure it is 16 years later to note that offer of assistance has not dropped off with our volunteer base still the envy of other clubs. The list of helpers takes a full page of this report and each one of those named play an important part in our success. They have huge energy and act more like a member of a family rather than a club. Brilliant stuff from everybody. Their friendship adds to the “vibe” of this club and makes gettogethers on match days and club events all the more enoyable.

Player behaviour After a couple of unfortunate incidents last year I am delighted to report that pursuant to the ideals of trust, respect and humility which I have been pushing ever since I took on the presidency of this club no player was reported this season. We also performed well in the Sydney Cricket Association’s Spirit of Cricket ratings finishing 10th. ur 1st graders performed well to end up third behind Penrith while rd Grade finished th behind Sydney niversity. This is an excellent result and everyone especially our captains and officials should feel proud about the way they have conducted themselves this season.

Sad Losses It’s always a sad occasion when we learn of the passing of people associated with the club and the foundation clubs and this year is no different. Among others two gentlemen who were closely involved with the merger in 2001 were lost to us. aurie eil the club’s first CEO and the man credited with the idea of merging Randwick and Petershamarrickville passed away in ecember 2016 aged . A month or so later we lost rian Proops who was a longterm scorer with the old Pete’s club and took over as 1st Grade scorer in our third season. We were particularly saddened at the loss of 2 year old aura inds the daughter of club legend enis inds to the dreaded cancer. And two of the greats of Randwick and Petershamarrickville Greg omann 9 and ryan aell departed this life early in 201. The bituary section of this report contains full details.

Thank you one and all for your support dedication loyalty and hard work throughout this and the past 16 years. I look forward to sharing and enoying season 2011 with you all.

Mike Whitney, President

9 Report of the MANAGEMENT COMMITTEE

The Randy Petes finished 11th in the Club Championship for the third consecutive season. This was a disappointing result but there are signs of renewal. Our 5th Grade led the way with a dominating season culminating in a Premiership under the leadership of Nigil Singh. The number of young players in the team augurs well for the future.

Again 1st Grade under the captaincy of Alex Kemp played a good brand of cricket, reaching the semi-final of the Limited Overs competition and missing the T20 finals by the slightest of margins. In the Belvidere Cup the lads’ multiple draws were their undoing. This team is exciting and the experience and talent will make them a force in the competition in 2017-18. From this team it was very pleasing that Nathan Price, Anthony Sams and Daniel Sams were selected in the Sydney Cricket Association Merit XII - the most players from any Premier club.

Our Poidevin-Gray and AW Green Shield teams had disappointing seasons compared to their performances in previous seasons, although congratulations should be extended to Metro Gold on qualifying for finals for a second consecutive season under John Stewart and Jeremy Jastrzab.

The other grades did well in some matches but were unfortunately not as consistent as was required. Our 2nd Grade were 15th; 3rd Grade 11th and 4th Grade 8th and all showed considerable promise that the Club hopes can be built upon next season.

Throughout the season many of the Clubs’ players were rewarded with cricketing honours: - continued to perform for Australia in the Test, One Day and T20 formats and was duly rewarded with the Vice- Captaincy of the Test team -Nathan Price captained the NSW Imparja Cup team at the 2017 Imparja Cup Championships in Alice Springs and was named in the Imparja Cup Team of the Tournament -Jason Sangha – captained Australia U19s v Sri Lanka U19s, Cricket Australia XI (Matador Cup), Prime Minister’s XI, Cricket Australia XI v Pakistan and Sydney Thunder (Rookie contract) -Soumil Chhibber was rewarded with a Sydney 6ers Community Rookie contract -Adam Semple, Daniel Sams, Anthony Sams and Nathan Price each represented the Sydney 6ers Academy -Mac Jenkins captained NSW Green to victory at the National U15s Championships and was named in the Australian U16s -Nathan Price, Anthony Sams and Daniel Sams were named in the SCA Merit XII

ADMINISTRATION - The Management Committee met on seven occasions to discuss directions forward and matters affecting the Club. The Committee received regular reports from the Operations team regarding the coaching and playing side of the Club headed by Bill Anderson and Alan Wright. James Tyson, our Financial Controller, reported on the Club’s finances which after careful management are in a strong position. David Bourke and Peter Devlin managed our grounds skilfully and were instrumental in freeing up grounds for our local junior base – clubs and schools. And John Stewart and Neale Anderson provided updates on sponsorship. Many thanks also to Eddie Otto on Junior Development, Peter Wright on SCA/NSW Cricket matters, John Stewart in efficiently managing the contract for clothing and gear provision with Beastwear’s Aden Nawaz, and Chris Sullivan on social events.

Governance and compliance are major issues currently confronting organisations and the Club is in the process of completing a strategic plan. It has also undertaken at the SCA’s request a self-assessment and review of the make-up of the Club with areas reviewed including governance, management and administration, coaching, finances, technology, volunteers, culture, marketing and sponsorship, juniors, female involvement and community and local government engagement.

CLUB OPERATIONS – During the season we welcomed talented cricketers Jono Moloney, Joe Hart, Matt Everett and Pat Magann from the country – all who played in the 2nd Grade team. Each fitted into the Club’s culture and performed well on the field. Greg Small and Simon Gould continued their dedicated coaching throughout pre-season and into and throughout the season. Many thanks to all the other coaches who have overseen the development of our players in particular Nick Warren, David Skuthorpe, Alex Kemp, Daniel and Anthony Sams and other 1st graders who provided specialist coaching and mentoring. David Skuthorpe, Alex Kemp and Glen Standing continued their coaching in our junior catchments cementing our links with SEJCA and in the Inner West. It is imperative that we continue to build our links with these future Randy Petes.

Can I pay particular tribute to Bill Anderson and Alan Wright who headed Club Operations which is a tough portfolio. This has increased at a time when players are moving between clubs more often resulting in the filling of competitive top grade teams all the more difficult. Both Bill and Alan were instrumental in liaising with leading players and working with Greg Small and Simon Gould in arranging pre-season and in-season training programs and managing the roll-out of the season. Payment of senior players has been a significant agenda item in the Club’s meetings and how we compete with cashed up clubs who attempt to attract our players with cash offerings.

10 Randwick Petersham 16th Annual Report 2016 - 17

US The management of grounds is a huge responsibilit. ot onl do we host SCA matches but also unior club and rep cricket. owever, our partnership with andwick Council over the ears has been a strong one and the standard of grounds at Coogee, Snape and ensington has been well above average. reen ptions continued to prepare both wickets and outfield to a high standard. SCA umpire ground ratings saw Coogee finish 11th out of 1 while enso improved significantl from th to 1th out of . Snape dropped to th from th. e are indeed luck to have avid Bourke who oversees the administration of grounds and in particular Peter evlin who provides expert advice regarding the standard of cricket wickets and outfields.

Petersham val rated 11th out of and hosted three 1st rade games. nl two top grade matches have been lost there in the past four seasons. ane Mulherin continues to strengthen the Club’s relationship with Inner est Council and his efforts have seen considerable improvement in our relationship with it over recent ears.

SPSSIP The club’s finances during the 2011 season grew significantl mainl as a result of eale Anderson and ohn Stewart’s tireless efforts on the sponsorship front. Both have done a tremendous ob in retaining existing sponsors and attracting new ones to the and Petes famil along with Carmel Soames who heads the and Petes Business etwork – an initiative to provide opportunit for our sponsors to network and gain a return on their investment in our Club. ithout their support it would become harder to field plaers, provide grounds and manage the Club. Therefore, ma I pa tribute to our sponsors who generousl helped the club this season and I encourage all and Petes to support them in the upcoming seasons. Man thanks to Beastwear, Petersham SL, the Clovell Communit Branch of the Bendigo Bank, Adina otel Apartment Coogee, Sdne Cit Toota, andwick Bowling Club, China oll, rankie and Swiss, Cartwright Insurance Brokers, Sdne Airport Corporation, T Immigration, Impala Sports, SS ehdrate, Titan itness, C Chapman Lawers, BP oodward, C Travel Professionals, Alan right and Associates, Bernadette Summers astern Beaches Propert Specialist, Tsingtao, Specsavers Marrickville, Mr Taxman, S1, lite Chiropractic and Mike hitne Promotions. Can I reiterate President Mike Whitney’s comments and offer sincere thanks to eale Anderson, Carmel Soames and ohn Stewart as well as Mike hitne himself for their significant contribution to the raising of the Club’s sponsorship dollars.

CICT ILA – This season the and Petes partnership with as their fficial verseas Scholarship Programme partner continued with Ireland International Andrew Balbirnie oining the Club for a four month stint as he recovered from hip surger. As with all the Irish plaers we have hosted it was a pleasure to have him with us and his professionalism was without doubt as he mixed in with the entire Club. Significant thanks must go to ohn Stewart for managing this partnership in conunction with the Cricket perations team. It is great to think that no other rade club has an official link with an International team.

CICT ILA – A TU Can I acknowledge the work of ohn Stewart who organised the Club’s first overseas tour since 9. The tour covered ngland and ublin. ohn took a team of 1 plaers who departed 1 ul and returned 1 ul 1. Seven games were plaed three in ent (organised b th rade plaer Sam Bons) and four in ublin. Tour clothing and kit bags were arranged and sponsors secured. A dinner with the Irish Consulate was organised prior to the tour which included a presentation of caps. A meeting with the Australian mbass was also arranged in ublin. It was a might effort and the Club is hugel benefitted b having ohn around to help with the organisation of events such as this.

SCIAL – The President’s Luncheon changed venues this season to the larger capacit oltone ouse, de Park. Steve augh was the drawcard and around guests were able to get up close and personal with the former Australian Test skipper. This has been the Club’s main social event and besides being a great wa to bring the Club together it also contributes to its finances through the sale of auction items. Thanks to Chris Sullivan, obin ardner and ohn Stewart for their work in organising the event and to Mike hitne as MC and raeme ughes for his contribution in rolling out the event at this new and improved venue.

A SALUT – Can I also thank the ladies in our Club – our mums, wives, girlfriends, sisters and daughters.

17 The 2016-17 Grade Season in Summary

Round 1 v Fairfield-Liverpool (Limited Overs matches) Sat. 25 Sept 2016 1st Grade: won by 9 runs @ Coogee—7-332cc to 323 (lost toss): See separate Limited Overs summary for full details. 2nd Grade: lost by 28 runs @ Rosedale—210 to 8-238cc (lost toss): 100 runs were on the board before the Lions lost their first wicket. And at 3-171 a huge total was in the offing. However, a good fightback saw the last 5 wickets fall for 67 with Kushaal Ram (4-43 off 10 overs) returning the best figures. New recruits Matt Everett (40) and Irishman Andrew Balbirnie (25) looked good but both were gone at 107. Shaun Eaton (32) and Suffan Hassan (43) were the big hopes but after they and new skipper Tom Holland (4) went, runs were a struggle against the clock. A disappointing loss but positive vibes emerged from a new-look side. 3rd Grade: won by 4 wkts @ Petersham—6-246 to 244 (lost toss): At 3-171 we looked likely to chase plenty. However, when Ash Burton chipped in with a wicket the rot set in and he was able to finish with 5-32 off 6.5 overs (all caught) leaving a gettable target despite extras of 36 including 23 wides. Ben Stares (73) and new boy Sam Mackay (45) put on 105 for the second wicket while Jack Lyle (64) and John McLoughlin (47) did even better with 112 for the fourth, just 10 short of victory which was achieved very smartly. A solid win. 4th Grade: won by 5 wkts @ Fairfield—5-156 to 8-155cc (lost toss): Quality tight bowling and athletic fielding kept the screws on the Lions bats and they were unable to post more than a mediocre score. New “quick” Doug Loth returned the best figures (3-39 off 10) while Kyri Tsalikidis (2-34 off 10) and Rehaan Nawaz (1-18 off 10) kept them in check. In the run chase a 100 runs partnership for the third wicket between Kaoser Ahmed (58) and “the comeback kid” Dave Mitchell (35) sealed the win in 35.5 overs with skipper David Bourke chipping in with 11*. 5th Grade: won by 35 runs @ Kensington—216 to 181 (won toss): We were in trouble early until a 110 runs partnership for the seventh wicket by Corey Graham (52 off 52 balls) and Jack Standing (64 off 54 balls with 6 fours and 3 sixes) got the side back on track. At 3-124 it looked like a Lions victory but Standing (4-35 off 10) claimed 3 quick wickets while Chris Hart (3-31) mopped up with the final 7 wickets falling for 57.

Round 2 v Western Suburbs (Limited Overs matches) Sat. 1 Oct. 2016 1st Grade: won by 102 runs @ Petersham—9-278cc to 176 (won toss): See separate Limited Overs summary for full details. 2nd Grade: lost by 4wkts @ Punchbowl---180 to 6-181 (lost toss): With both openers gone for ducks and three others quickly following the decision to send us in looked a good one at 5-45. However, Suffan Hassan carried the fight to the Magpies with a magnificent innings to be last out for 82. A wicket first ball to James Tyson (1-25) was a great start but others proved hard to get and the target was achieved in 45.5 overs. Kushaal Ram (2-25) returned the best figures but Sam Wood’s miserly 1-16 off 10 was a fine effort. 3rd Grade: lost by 3 runs @ Coogee—9-239cc to 242 (lost toss): Wickets were hard to come by early but the side wrapped up the innings well after going through the middle order. Skipper Rod Stafford led the way with 3-37. In the run chase Karl Schubert had the side away well with 53 off 65 balls and at 1-97 we were on track. John McLoughlin with 64 off 84 provided the backbone of the innings and had good partnerships with Jack James (28) and Matt Wallis (20).

Wicketkeepers of the world can take great delight from the comments in the Randwick annual report of 1930-31 when the club's 1st Grade team won the competition. The skipper Dr. Barbour commented that "The wicket-keeping of J. M. Jagelman was at times brilliant and at other times mediocre. He had the happy knack, however, of seizing practically every available chance of catching and stumping which more than atoned for the crop of byes. Very few wicketkeepers could have secured a higher percentage of chances taken". His figures were: 7 ; 7 caught; and 169 byes!!

This season six Randwick Petersham wicketkeepers in Grades 1-5 and Metro Cup effected 132 dismissals in total while conceding just 124 byes!!

27 28 Randwick Petersham 16th Annual Report 2016 - 17

Andrew Balbirnie Cricket Ireland Scholarship Programme

2016 was a very difficult year for myself personally. While at the ICC World T20 I was forced out with a hip injury that would later be decided that surgery was required. The timing of the injury meant I would be out of action for 6 months. The obvious question for me was when I would be able to get back playing again.

Luckily through the Cricket Ireland player Official Overseas Scholarship Programme with the “Randy Petes” I was given the opportunity to play four months of cricket in Sydney with this wonderful club. Having been part of the squad during the 2015 CWC I was well aware of what a fantastic club Randwick Petersham was and how hospitable they were towards all of us during that brilliant week at Coogee. Having also spoken to my good friend Barry McCarthy about his time there it seemed like a “no brainer”.

My four months at Coogee were amazing and in terms of cricket it was great to settle into Tom Holland’s second grade side that took me into his team with open arms. Although I was a bit slow getting going with the bat I like to think towards the back end I found a rhythm that helped us over the line in some vital pre-Christmas games. I thoroughly enjoyed the lad’s company every Saturday and it was truly an honour to not just play but make some fantastic friends from the experience.

There are too many people I need to thank and they all know who they are. Firstly, John Stewart who took me into his home and made me feel so welcome, a great guy whose love for the club is amazing and who's big score for the Metros is around the corner. Mike Whitney and Bill Anderson again who are great club people, were always available to assist with anything I needed or had trouble with. Nick Warren and Sal who adopted me for the four months and were great friends during my stay as well as Alex and Tamara Kemp. Too many great people to mention at a wonderful club. A period of my life I'll always remember and I look forward to seeing some of you in during the summer. Cheers to all Balbo

History in the making

On the 27th September 2016 Australia played Ireland in a one-off at Benoni, South Africa. This was an historic moment as there was a strong Randy Petes connection with and David Warner representing Australia and Barry McCarthy and for Ireland. Furthermore, the cricketing gods conspired that Chase and McCarthy opened the bowling against Warner and Khawaja!! And stranger still: Over 3.4 McCarthy to Khawaja, 1 run, chance goes begging for Ireland! Looks to pull the ball into the leg-side and the ball flies high in the air. Chase runs in from long leg and the ball goes into his hands and back out of them. Ireland can't afford to drop any chances. (Courtesy espncricinfo.com)

The Randy Petes / Cricket Ireland connection was strengthened at Lords on 7 May 2017 in Ireland’s first ODI v England at the Home of Cricket. Andrew Balbirnie, Barry McCarthy and Peter Chase were all named in the XI while Peter Johnston (Randy Petes Metro 2001-02 and newly appointed Cricket Ireland Academy Head Coach) was on the support staff. To top it off a letter from our President Mike Whitney was pinned to the noticeboard in the dressing room.

29 1st Grade Report by Alex Kemp, Captain Position in Competitions: Belvidere Cup–7th (10 wins; 6 losses; 1 draw); Limited Overs–3rd (5 wins; 1 loss); Twenty 20 Cup- 5th in Division (3 wins; 1 loss): 18 wins; 8 losses; 4 draws in all three competitions.

Another season down but what an interesting one it was! It was a summer filled with highs, lows and missed opportunities. Firstly I would like to acknowledge and thank Adam Semple for his wonderful contribution over the past 3-4 seasons as 1st Grade captain. Adam is the ultimate professional and has made my transition into the role an easy one. “Semp” epitomises everything that the club represents and is the perfect role model for the next generation of cricketers at Randwick Petersham.

As a group we achieved excellent results in the Limited Overs one-day competition, making it through undefeated to the semi-finals, but fell agonisingly short losing in the final overs against Hawkesbury. We narrowly missed out on the finals in the Belvidere Cup and 20/20 Cup competitions, finishing one spot outside of the finals in each. Our inability to win crucial stages of games was the major reason why we didn’t achieve better results. Improvements to our catching and overall match awareness will be a major focus this off-season.

There were however, many bright spots throughout the season. Anthony Sams became the fourth “Randy Pete” to score 1,000 runs in a season and was rewarded with selection in the Kingsgrove Sports Merit XII-1st Grade Team of the Year. Anthony had scores of 152 v Fairfield, 121 v Blacktown and a crucial 104 v Hawkesbury in the One Day semi-final. Anthony has become one of the most consistent opening batsmen in the competition and is a major key to our success over the past couple of seasons.

His “partner in crime” was Nathan Price, who finished the year with a bang scoring three hundreds of his own (112* v Manly, 140 v Mosman and 128 v Easts). Nathan was also selected in the 1st Grade Team of the Year, compiling 952 runs, showcasing why he is considered one of the best players in the competition. “Pricey” is a very important member of our side and we are hoping that he is there again in 2017-18.

Daniel Sams continued to show NSW selectors why he is one of the best all-rounders in the competition with another season filled with runs and wickets which earned him selection in the 1st Grade Team of the Year and stints in the NSW Second XI side. Dan finished the season with 49 wickets @21 (6-54 v UNSW and 5-45 v Manly) and 465 runs led with a match turning 86 off 43 balls against Manly in the Twenty20 Cup. With more consistent performances with the bat, higher honours are just around the corner.

Adam Semple is like a fine wine getting better with age taking 41 wickets @21.2 with three five wicket hauls (5-58 v Penrith, 5-50 v Sydney and 7-64 v Campbelltown). Whenever we needed a wicket or someone to help steady the game, “Semp” was the first person to turn to. His experience and knowledge are invaluable to our side and will be relied on heavily again next season.

Other players like Greg West, François Neser, James Psarakis, Jake Scicluna, Jason Sangha, Soumil Chhibber, Shaun Eaton and Nick Warren were excellent contributors for us this season and a large reason for our success. We are looking forward to getting a fully fit Greg and Soumil back next season as they are both match winning players on their day. Congratulations to Jason Sangha on his selection in the Australian U19 side that recently participated in the series against Sri Lanka. Jason is an extremely talented young player and we look forward to following your career over the coming years.

James Psarakis and Jake Scicluna are moving on from the club next season and I would like to wish them all the best, thank you to both for being great teammates.

Congratulations to our five debutants, Matthew Critchley, Kushaal Ram, Suffan Hassan, Pat Magann and our Irish visitor Andrew Balbirnie. You all contributed well and (apart from Andrew) we hope to have you pushing for a permanent position next season.

I would like to thank the contributions of our staff, volunteers and the parents who are at cricket every weekend. Thank you Greg Small and Simon Gould for all your work over the season. Our manager/mentor Bill Anderson for looking after us on match day. To John Stewart for the hours he puts into the behind the scenes work within the club. Robin, Sue and Faye for preparing the best lunches in the competition.

Finally, to the parents, wives and girlfriends, thank you for always being there to support us. We understand that it can be frustrating for you at times watching us play all day and then us talking about cricket for hours after we play, but we play the game because we love it. Whether we win, lose, have personal success or not, we know that you will always be there for us and we all love you dearly for it and hope that you will be there again to support us again next season.

Ms ss s s s s ending osman in to bat paid immediate dividends with Adam emple grabbing a wicket with just 5 runs on the board. But that was the last of the celebrations as cott odgie pulverised the attack hitting 92 off just 55 balls with 4 fours and sixes. e was supported by ohn ogers who scored 53 off 41. aniel ams managed to restrict the damage in the final overs taking 312 off 4 to leave a challenging target. t was the worst possible start in the run chase with champion 20 specialist Nathan Price out first ball to a catch from a lofted drive to midoff. Anthony ams and Alex Kemp were gone with the score just 20. Although an ams hit 20 off 14 balls we had dropped well behind the . Adam emple (43 off 35 with 4 fours and a six) fell amid a steady flow of wickets and when rank Neser joined oumil hhibber at 9114 it was all over. owever the last two did well to add 3 without loss with Neser finishing with 26 off 1 (one four and 2 sixes) and hhibber 12 off 8. ss s s s) Batting first Nathan Price (69 off 39 balls with 10 fours and a six) and Adam emple (41 off 29 with 2 fours and 2 sixes) were away to a flyer putting on 103 for the first wicket. Anthony ams (22) ames Psarakis (21) an ams (21) and Alex Kemp (28 off 11 with 2 fours and 2 sixes) added uick runs and when the 20 overs had been completed a score just one short of the team record (21 set last year) had been posted. n reply the llawarra bats tried hard against a huge total and although two made 50 plus the tight bowling and fielding always ensured the game was in hand. oumil hhibber bowled very well to return 39 off 4 overs while an ams took 234 off his 4 overs. M M ss s s s) he loss of Price Kemp and Anthony ams with just 56 on the board was not a good start but Adam emple with 33 off 30 balls held the innings together. owever it was aniel ams who provided the fireworks with a brilliant 86 off just 43 balls with 6 fours and an amaing sixes to put the innings on target. ake cicluna (16 off 8) and oumil hhibber (13 off 4 with s sixes) closed out for a solid total. n response it was emple 2 25 off 4 overs) and ary West (229 off 4) to have anly behind the 8ball at 4112 and while no further wickets were taken the leeway was too great for the ea agles to make up. A commanding win against one of the competition’s top sides. s ss s s s ent in to bat we were away to a flyer when Nathan Price and Adam emple took 15 off the second over. Price and Anthony ams (14 off 11) put on 49 for the second wicket but from 2 we lost 4 for 28 including Price for 5 (35 balls fours 3 sixes). After another 4 fell for 11 with the score 5134 including ames Psarakis (24 off 19 one four 2 sixes) we were facing an ordinary total at 9145 off 19. But haun aton (24 off 13 with 3 fours and a six) stepped up in the final over to hit 20 for a 9165 finish. Daniel Sams took a wicket in his first over but it wasn’t until the score was 0 that oumil hhibber took the second. And at 5152 with 14 needed off 3 overs it looked Gordon’s game. But with a wicket to ams another to emple a runout and an lbw decision off the last ball to ams we had won by 3 runs ams ended with 325 off 4; emple 1 25 off 4 and hhibber 230 off 4.

The Pride of the Baggy Green

To recognise the achievement of players selected in the Randwick Petersham 1st XI, the club introduced a capping system in 2001-02, its first season. A player who plays in the 1st Grade team is presented with a Randwick Petersham “Baggy Green” cap bearing the club’s logo and becomes listed as a club “capped” player. The player is also allocated a sequential number that is displayed on his playing shirt. Numbers are allocated in order of selection although when two or more players are selected at the same time, the allocation is in surname alphabetical order. Players retain the number they are allocated for all time. The last number allocated will also reflect the total number of players to play in the club’s 1st Grade team. A total of 111 players have now played in the 1st XI since the club’s creation 16 years ago. This season six players made their debut as 1st graders with Randwick Petersham. Each was presented with his cap by an official or representative of the club before the start of play in their first match in the top grade. The capped players for the 2016-17 season were:

No. 106 Greg West born 25 July 1994 (aged 22) A left-arm fast bowler, Greg West joined us this season having played four matches for the in the Big Bash comp. last summer. Originally from Newcastle he played a season with Mosman in 2014-15. Greg made his debut with the club in round 1 taking 1-55 off eight overs against Fairfield-Liverpool at Coogee Oval. In round 2 he took 4-45 off 9.1 overs in a decisive win over Western Suburbs at Petersham Oval.

No. 107 Andrew Balbirnie born 28 December 1990 (aged 25) Andrew joined the club this season under the RPC-Cricket Ireland Scholarship program. A 25 years old right hand bat he played the first two rounds in 2nd Grade before being called into 1st Grade in round 3 against Northern District at Mark Taylor Oval. Batting no. 7 he was unluckily run out for 23 off 27 balls with three boundaries after coming in to bat late in the day with the score 5-355.

No. 108 Matthew Critchley born 13 August 1996 (aged 20) Matthew joined the club from Derbyshire CCC in October 2016. A middle order batsman and leg break bowler he made his 1st Grade debut against Blacktown at Joe McAleer Oval. In a high scoring match, Matt bowled 17 overs for a return of 1-74. He was not required to bat in a game which produced a record opening partnership score of 254 by Anthony Sams (121) and Alex Kemp (122). Randwick Petersham won the match 5-378 to 9- 373 declared.

No. 109 Kushaal Ram born 22 August 1993 (aged 23) Kushaal Ram came into the 1st XI as cover for Daniel Sams who had been selected to play Second XI for NSW and was not available for the first day’s play in the match against Sydney at Coogee Oval. Kushaal won selection because of his bowling which had brought him 18 wickets in six 2nd Grade games. While he was not required to bat he bowled eight overs for 1-48 breaking a threatening partnership of 33 for the seventh wicket. The match was lost in a “cliff-hanger” finish 215 to 217.

No. 110 Suffan Hassan born 3 November 1993 (aged 23) Suffan Hassan made his 1st Grade debut against Uni. of NSW in Round 7 after some consistent performances with the bat in 2nd Grade over the previous two seasons. He had a fine debut with 14* in difficult circumstances in the 1st innings and 15 from 14 balls including a huge six in the second innings as the side moved towards a declaration. And while the side was just two wickets away from an outright defeat of the students, Uni. won the match by six wickets on the first innings.

No. 111 Patrick Magann born 9 April 1998 (aged 18) At 18 years and 336 days Pat Magann was the ninth youngest player to debut with the club in 1st Grade. Selected to play Easts in a limited overs match in round 15 at Waverley Oval, Pat was called on to bowl with Easts down 4-50. He made a quick and important breakthrough taking the vital wicket of Jonte Pattison, caught by Shaun Eaton for 10. He finished with an impressive 1-24 off 7 overs in Easts’ final score of 181. He was not required to bat in Randwick Petersham’s score of 7-318cc.

2nd Grade Report by Tom Holland, Captain Position in Competition: 15th 5 wins; 1 tie; 7 losses; 2 draws Season 2016-17 had plenty of potential for a young 2nd Grade side packed with talent and brimming with the opportunity to put it on display. With a few departures from the club, a batch of new players entered the scene in Matt Everett, Pat Magann, Jono Maloney, Sam Mackay and Joe Hart. This was buoyed by the inclusion of Irish export Andrew Balbirnie for the first half.

The season overall was quite disjointed with multiple injuries and players unavailable meaning we never hit a consistent stride throughout the season and our top performances were often marred by poor efforts in following weeks. Our final position of 15th was not an indication of the lack of talent in the team, but more an inexperience and potential lack of maturity in a young side, one which will only improve in coming seasons.

Our season didn’t get off to the best start losing three and drawing one against Northern District in our first four games. Our first win against Penrith in round 5 was a special one, not only being our first off the mark, but because we showed that we were capable of winning close matches. Our win against second placed UNSW in round 7 marked the first of four wins on the trot, the others being against North Sydney, Bankstown and Parramatta. Unfortunately, that marked our last win of the season, ending with three losses, a draw and a thrilling tie to finish off the season.

Throughout the season, while many players fought hard to hit their stride, each player produced key performances which highlighted their class and ability to match the grade and in some cases push for selection in 1st Grade. Some of the standout performances were Matt Everett’s maiden 2nd Grade century of 195* against Northern District in round 3; Suffan Hassan’s fighting 82 against Wests in round 2; Shaun Eaton’s 80 and 54 against Sydney in round 6; Andrew Balbirnie’s 121 against UNSW in round 7 where he was well supported with a fighting 49 by Max Moran in a 104 run partnership; Scott Sharma’s 69 against Manly including six fours and four sixes; James Tyson taking 5-24 against Parramatta; and Kush Ram taking 4-29 against Penrith.

A special mention to both Joe Hart and Matt Calder who made their maiden 2nd Grade 50s this season. Joe’s 55 came against Blacktown in round 4 where he showed considerable maturity to fight through a bombardment of short bowling from former West Indian test bowler Corey Collymore. Matt’s 52 came in his 2nd Grade debut against Easts in round 15 where he took on the bowling and showed maturity beyond his years to put the team in a great position. He will be a player to watch.

Other special mentions include Jack James and Ash Burton who both made their debut in 2nd Grade this year off the back of some great 3rd Grade performances. In his two games in 2s, Jack remained in each innings and made his presence known in the field with a superb catch and run-out against Bankstown. Ash Burton provided some good spells of bowling, his best being 2-26 against UNSW and showed that hard work at training pays off.

Despite some great performances, there are a few areas that we can work on in the coming seasons. These are things that come down to the individual and that we as a club look to instil in the younger players coming through. If we can improve our individual attitudes towards each other and the game, playing for the team as opposed to the individual, improve our dedication to training and our ability to fight hard to win the small battles when batting, bowling or fielding, we will go a long way to improve the team culture and brand, while also making it more enjoyable to turn up every Saturday.

I’d also like to say thank you to a few people for the work behind the scenes. Firstly to Club Coach Greg Small and his assistant Simon Gould for their help and advice throughout the season. Thank you for working us hard at training and providing the platform to take us to higher things in the seasons to come. Secondly, to Stanley Beal for scoring in parts of the season. While his vision may not be the best, his dedication to turning up for the weeks he was able and providing some entertainment along the way made the captain’s job a bit easier. And finally to David Holland, for taking up the team’s manager role and helping out with the scoring duties when Stan was unable to be there. Thanks for your guidance and support throughout my first season as captain and for your help with the setup of the small things on game day that make a big difference.

I’d also like to make special mention of a club legend who is retiring from 2nd Grade--James Tyson. “Tyso” has been a stalwart of the club’s higher grades throughout his career and has continued to show his class and consistency each season, again proving that he has the skill to match the grade and then some, with 23 wickets at 24.57 this season. You will be well missed mate.

I have no doubt that 2nd Grade going forward will be a better team for what we have learned through the hardships of this season. With some quality young players coming through the ranks and other players hitting their strides in their first seasons of , I believe there will be better things to come and we can push to be playing finals cricket in the seasons ahead.

Flier_RandwickPetersham_D2.indd 1 25/5/17 14:42 3rd Grade Report by Rodney Stafford, Captain Position in Competition: 11th 6 wins; 1 tie; 7 losses; 1 draw Season 2016-17 was a “what could have been” type season for the 3rd Grade Randy Petes. We played fantastic cricket at times, had a great mix of up-and- comers and proven veterans and were highly competitive against all the top sides. Unfortunately though, we ended up on the wrong side of the close games which ultimately cost us a chance to compete in successive finals series.

The season started with an impressive chase of 245 against Fairfield at Petersham. Big runs was something we hadn’t achieved very often in previous seasons with bowling being our strength. However, with the addition of experienced 1st Grade veteran John McLoughlin the side had a good feel about it, batting-wise. On this day near-veteran Ben Stares scored 74, Jack Lyle 64 and J-Mac 47 to get us home.

Round 2 saw us lose a high scoring nail biter at Coogee Oval by three runs to Wests despite an almost match winning performance from McLoughlin who made 64. We then suffered a 54 run loss to ND’s with promising paceman Tom McKenzie’s three wickets and Ash Burton’s 73 the highlights. We were then belted by Blacktown after losing a key toss with the main highlight being a presentation of a special brew of beers called “The Schu” to Karl Schubert to celebrate his 200 ‘keeping dismissals. Thanks to Ben Stares for organising!

Round 5 was an unbelievable game vs Penrith at Coogee Oval that turned out to be the first of two ties at the venue this season, the second being in 2nd Grade in round 15 v Easts. RPC batted first and after being 6-80 recovered to 216 with the tail wagging thanks to contributions by the skipper and “Burto” firstly and then a 46 runs last wicket stand between Omair Ali and Tom McKenzie. “The Riff” were cruising to victory in the chase firstly at 2-107 and then 5-181 but succumbed at the death for a tie with “Burto” 4-38 and the skip 3-62 doing the late damage to force the points to be split. Round 6 was another heartbreaker as we lost by one wicket to Sydney at Birchgrove despite 99 and three wickets from the classy Scott Sharma and three poles to RPC newcomer Doug Loth. Sydney put on an unbeaten 27 for the last wicket in a match that see-sawed throughout.

Rounds 7 and 8 saw the team steam into the Christmas break with two solid wins against UNSW and North Sydney. It also saw an injection of youth and a look into a bright future with 17 year old Jack James making his debut century for the club with a mature 105. Another 17 year old in Matt Calder scored 39 while 18 year old leg spinner Kyri Tsalikidis took three wickets. Wicketkeeper Kaoser’ Rocky’ Ahmed also forced his way into the side and scored 40, with the skip taking four wickets. Against Norths, big Doug Loth (3-20) and Reehan Nawaz (2-16) had the Bears in huge trouble with four wickets in the first four overs, before Kyri proved he could dominate 3s with an outstanding 4-37 off 10 overs. The chase was dominant with good form continuing for Jack James (57) and J-Mac (39*) seeing us home easily with Matt Calder finishing things off with a huge six onto the Warringah Freeway.

Round 9 was a huge blow against lowly Bankstown where virtually all games were played except for us. We were then belted by Parra at Coogee only mustering 60 after being 5-5 early after being sent in on a new green wicket. They passed us none down in reply. From here a finals spot was very unlikely with the top six having put a gap on the rest with us in the bottom half.

Round 11 v Manly was probably our best win of the season. Ben Stares took on the captaincy with the skipper away, and the side batted well after the previous match to score a defendable 205 at Petersham Oval with contributions by Ben Stares 45, Matt Calder 41, Jono Maloney 38 and Chris King 30. At 1-90 Manly was well in control and looking to push their way into the top six, when Doug Loth ripped the heart out of the top and middle order taking 6-54. He was well supported by Reehan Nawaz who took 2-21 and Manly were all out 131 after losing 9-41.

We then lost two more nail biters to the then top two sides in Mosman and Sydney University. The last ball loss to Mosman off a French cut summed up our season and was a shattering loss for the boys. The Sydney Uni. loss had one massive highlight which was a breakthrough middle-grades innings of 83 by youngster Rav De Silva. We then finished the year with dominant victories against Campbelltown and Easts to finish 11th on the ladder. Reehan Nawaz took six wickets in the last two victories, Ben Stares made 59 and 28 to finish the season strongly including skippering the win against the Ghosts and big Doug Loth finished the season off in style with 5-26 vs Easts.

From an individual standpoint there were many good performances during the year. Ben Stares led the batting aggregates finishing with 323 runs at 29. “Staresy” has been very consistent the last few years in 3s and has proven himself a future leader with two wins from two filling in as skipper. The boys clearly respect Staresy and it gives me great confidence the middle grades are in good hands in the coming years. No doubt Ben will get more of a bowl in coming years. Stay loose mate!

44 Randwick Petersham 16th Annual Report 2016 - 17

The bowling was led by R newcomer Doug Loth who came over thanks to taresy. Doug is a tall eperienced fast bowler who consistently hits good areas and bowls natural outswing. e forced his way into 3s after good performances in 4s and finished the year with wickets at 5 including two match winning five wicket hauls. A hugely valuable and welcome addition to the Randy etes family and will no doubt threaten a nd rade spot net year.

John McLoughlin showed his class after dropping down from s and while Mac would’ve liked more runs he still finished with a healthy 37 runs at 34 – numbers most bats would take with bells on! Johnny’s experience was enormously helpful for the development of youngsters ack ames and Matt alder amongst others as both transform their talent into consistent runmaking – it really is great seeing an eperienced higher grader player like ohn give back a bit later in their careers as the net generation learns so much from this eposure. e also brought up runs for R early in the season and the team celebrated with another Ben tares special brew aptly called the “Run Machine”. ohnny also enoyed a return to the bowling crease with his clever medium pace. nfortunately for ohn a chronic elbow inury forced him off the park for the second half of the season. We all have our fingers crossed that ohnny will be able to lace up the boots again net season.

Jack James’ improvement in the last year was there for all to see and watching the way he dominated 3s was a real highlight for myself and the team. Making 7 runs at he forced his way into s where he immediately made an impact. ack is a future st grader and I’m looking forward to seeing more hard work pay off for him. Well done on a breakthrough year!

Matt Calder came up from Wollongong to have a crack in the big smoke and what a talent he is. “alds” had his fair share of bad luck early in 3s after scoring 5 in 4th rade, however, once he found his feet he scored consistent 30’s and 40’s to finish with 176 runs at . e was given a crack in s late in the season and scored 5 v asts in what should be the start of a long higher grade career for R.

Ash Burton had another solid year and contributed 4 wickets at and 4 runs at forcing his way into nd rade at times. Burto became etremely reliable with the ball given more opportunity than previous seasons and is a really good “death” bowler. f his offfield banter, hairstyle and kit improves at the same rate as his cricket has then Burto’s future looks very bright! Jack Lyle had an up and down season only averaging 7 hovering between number 3 and in the order. A few key innings from ack got us over the line during the season and he really stepped up as a clubman taking on the drinks miing for the second half of the season – always a pleasure to have in the side. Kaoser ‘Rocky’ Ahmed took on the ‘keeping duties halfway during the year forcing his way in with consistent runs in 4s. Rocky started really well in 3s scoring consistent 30’s and 40’s but went through a bit of a patch to finish with 4 runs at . Rocky like many other bats needs to cash in once he gets to 4 and turn these into big scores. That is the difference between averaging 20 and averaging 30+ and pushing the next grade. Rocky’s keeping was very good throughout and he is always a great team man who contributes immensely in all facets.

Reehan Nawaz had his best 3rd rade bowling season finishing with wickets at and finished the year on fire The Waz is also a top fielder and handy batsman when playing in his natural aggressive fashion. Tom McKenzie had a few inuries before and during the middle of the season but finished well to finish with 4 poles. Tommy has raw talent with the ball and think will be hugely successful in coming years as his rig keeps maturing. or mine the key to this success will be a little bit more patience when on top so as to not release any pressure on the opposition and an inury free preseason.

There were plenty of other contributors in 3rd rade during the year. These include Karl Schubert with the gloves and opening the batting miing drinks and finishing the team song off in style “The chu” will be greatly missed on the paddock as he approaches each game like it’s a Test Match. We wish “Kleenex” Karl well in retirement and look forward to his continuing contribution to the club as M for club functions and match day announcer. Another retiree this season is Matthew Wallis who started the season in 3s and finished in 4s. Wally never uite hit his bowling straps in 3s this year but finished very well in 4s to almost get them to the semifinals. We wish Wally well in retirement we will all miss his hard hitting innings slips fielding and ability to decimate opposition top orders in ust a few minutes of good rhythm. Omair Ali played half a dozen games in 3s and contributed solidly with the new ball. e is also an absolute eample to others as he has worked etremely hard on his batting and is starting to reap the benefits with both runs and opportunities higher up the order. Budding young legspinner Kyri Tsalakidis got his first shot at 3rd rade after moving through Metro 5s and 4s in the previous few seasons. Kyri is a huge spinner of the ball and proved that our stocks are good with a couple of match winning performances. At Kyri’s current rate of improvement he is more than capable of moving up the grades in the net year or two. Corey Graham also made a number of appearances and proved that he will be a very handy young allrounder for the club in the coming years. Jono Maloney looks a raw allround talent after an inuryriddled season since oining the club from Newcastle. ooking forward to seeing ono go well for us net season. Rav DeSilva struggled for consistency in 4’s and 5’s but proved he could play higher grades perhaps more at home with the extra pace on the ball. A similar story for Chris King entailed with immediate success in 3’s that he couldn’t find in 4’s, and “Kingy” forged a really good late season combination with Ben tares at the top of the order. These two blokes should give all lower graders confidence in their ability to progress up the grades and handle the situation. The difference between lower and middle grades is often consistency and the will to keep working hard and back yourself. It’s also a great example of taking an opportunity when you get one no matter what the circumstances.

And a huge thank you to our scorer the great Rchard cord. “Hubert” is an institution and his advice in the car on game day trips to the ground is always to the point. Round 14 was Dickie’s 400th game scoring for R and Round 15 was his 1,400th career game as a rade scorer including the old etershamMarrickville club. Thanks to our supporters and helpers during the year including family from the awa, alder, James, tares, oth, chubert, Wallis and tafford clans.

Many thanks again to ractice aptain a ea who always does a great ob. Thanks to all the coaching staff, management committee, other grades and volunteers who continue to make this a great club.

4th Grade Report by David Bourke, Captain Position in Competition: 8th 8 wins; 7 losses Fourth Grade started the season with the goal of playing finals cricket and with a great blend of youth and experience the side was almost able to achieve that aim finishing in equal 6th position but relegated to 8th on quotient. And while it was frustrating not to play finals cricket, upon reflection it was an extremely enjoyable season with a fantastic group of players who appreciated each other's success and gave 100% every time they strode onto the field for the Randy-Petes.

Season Highlights: The wins over UNSW in round 7 and Manly in round 11 were key moments in the season. After winning rounds 1 and 2 the side lost four games on the bounce and another loss would have seen our chances of finals cricket slip away. After UNSW posted a challenging 259, we were struggling at 5-138. However, young Jack Standing joined new number 3 Jaya Murdita and changed the game in a flash with an amazing display of counter-attacking batting, putting on 102 runs in just 75 minutes to give us the chocolates and get our season back on track. After wins in Rounds 7, 8 and 10, the side took on Manly in round 11 on their home turf in a game which threatened a loss to either side would see finals cricket out of reach. After winning the toss and electing to bowl first the skipper was getting filthy looks as Manly moved to 0-43. However, up stepped Matthew Wallis who went on a rampage, picking up 6-26 from 14 overs as Manly lost 10 wickets for 14 runs to be all out for 57! While such a small total should have been easily chased down, Manly unleashed their current 1st Grade quick who was returning from injury, however young opening batsman Jackson Eldridge stepped up to take on the challenge and post his maiden Premier Cricket ton scoring 105* to see the side take the cash.

Season Lowlights: The batting performance against Sydney University in round 13 when we were out for just 95 to go down by six wickets. With a finals spot on the line against a side in the same position, we just didn’t step up with the bat when it mattered. In saying that, after several seasons where batting has been a weakness and exposed more often than not, we went a long way to rectifying that this season as the results show. Another lowlight was the circuit shoes Corey Graham offered post-game at Petersham Oval, those things should be illegal…..

The Volunteers: A massive thanks to Mike Sprowls and Chris Powell for assisting with scoring at stages throughout the season, plus Alan Wright, Greg Small, Peter Jenkins and Stan Beal for their support during games throughout the season. Also thanks to Paula Bourke and Warren Bourke for their assistance with afternoon teas. The boys appreciated the quality spreads!

Player Summary Karl Schubert - A massive congratulations to the retiring wicketkeeper/batsman on his performances for Randwick Petersham Cricket Club over the years. “Schu” has been an RPC stalwart since joining the club several years ago, bringing hard hitting batting at the top of the order, safe hands behind the stumps and rubbish words of encouragement to the opposition. I have had the pleasure of playing a fair chunk of cricket with Schu, the enthusiasm and energy he brought every Saturday both on and off the field is second to none, as is his understanding of the skipper’s post-match hydration needs. The way Schu proudly represented the green and gold of RPC is a true reflection of his love of the club. One of the great RPC clubman. Matthew Wallis – Also a massive congratulations to the retiring Matthew Wallis on his performances for Randwick Petersham Cricket Club over the years. While “Wally” spent a few years out of the game, he returned mid-way through last season and picked up where he left off; taking poles for fun and hitting the ball long! I had the pleasure of winning a 4th Grade competition with him back in 2007- 08 and although we were unable to repeat it this season, it wasn’t through lack of effort on Wally’s part as his statistics show. Fingers crossed Wally’s retirement is short-lived a second time around and we get to see him in the green and gold again! Jaya Murdita – “Big Dawg again displayed the great talent he possesses at this level. However, while his bowling didn’t live up to expectations due to some niggling injuries, an elevation up the batting order to number 3 saw Big Dawg display his natural talent with the bat. A critical 81 against UNSW displayed his ability in this role and hopefully he builds on it next season, along with getting his rig in order to return to the bowling crease! Big Dawg also displayed natural leadership skills, which was great to see in a bloke so young. Also can put you onto a solid priced winner on a Saturday arvo, although his dish licker tips need some work…..

48 Randwick Petersham 16th Annual Report 2016 - 17

David Mitchell – The “Mitch” returned to the playing field after a five year break and immediately displayed his ability with the bat. On several occasions itch displayed the class that saw him play st rade several years ago, a highlight being his at pace against asts in round 15. Personally as skipper, Mitch’s insight and thoughts were greatly appreciated as his knowledge of the game is second to none. itch also showed his class in the postmatch beverage area….. James Mahony-Brack – “JMB” had his first crack at fulltime rade cricket, joining the side after finishing SC commitments. While his bowling took a while to get going, his performances with the bat were outstanding and his average of . was an indication of the talent we first saw in reen Shield several years ago. is match winning against osman was an innings of class under pressure, especially with the skipper dotting it up down the other end With a full preseason under his belt net year, epect B to progress up the rades as a true allrounder. Jackson Eldridge – “Jacko” had a breakout season in rade cricket this season, firstly dominating th rade and then becoming a critical member at the top of the order in th rade. he highlight was his unbeaten against a anly side containing a current st rade opening bowler on a deck touted the “green monster”. Coupled with his batting acko displayed great hands in the field, taking some screamers in the gully. acko also displayed plenty of confidence on the field. reat to see in a young player with minimal experience giving more senior opposition players some batting advice….. Gabriel Budwee – “Budders” returned to rade cricket after several seasons working with the Swans and he immediately showed he had lost none of his skills with the ball, picking up wickets consistently. Budders has a great passion for the club, and brings energy both on and off the field, making him a critical member of any side he plays in. A great clubman. epect Budders to continue his move back up the grades net season with a full preseason under his belt. oo classy not to. Mac Jenkins – “MJ” was only available when school commitments allowed, but when he was he was a star performer. At only , bowls with a maturity way beyond his years and he toyed with opposition batsmen in every game, picking up wickets in five games at an average of . while only going at . runs per over. uality ooking forward to watching develop in the coming years, and also him not requiring a chair to stand on to reach the mirror when putting his sunscreen on….. Andrew Sprowls – “Sprowler’ again showed his uality at this level of cricket, finishing with wickets at ., with a match winning against Wests in ound . When Sprowler gets it right, he is near unplayable, and his understanding of working a batsman out and bowling to that plan is developing each season. he net step for him is to achieve consistency from week to week. Corey Graham – “Boots” took to his first full season of remier Cricket like he had been around for ages, showing talent with both bat and ball while also being one of the most natural fielders in any position have seen in a while. is against Blacktown was a highlight of his batting ability, while his against arramatta indicates what he can do with the ball. Boots also educated the boys on country life, wow….. Kyriakos Tsalikidis – “Zeus” continued his progression as a legspinner, dominating early in the season to earn a spot in rd rade, and only coming back to s in an effort for us to push for a finals birth. eus gives the ball an almighty rip and the development of his variations was great to see. eus also shows great confidence in his ability, a critical thing for a spinner, whilst being a much underrated fielder. is batting is a work in progress, but the commitment is there as highlighted in round when he was able to hang around with the skipper to get the win. ooking forward to watching eus progress up the grades net season. Chris King – “Kingy” joined us from the Central Coast, and whilst his output wasn’t as desired, his class was obvious to see, as proved with his results at the backend of the season in s. ingy immediately fitted into the culture of the side and the club, his positive attitude and team spirit was great to see. Backing ingy for a big season net year. Also, congratulations to igel Singh and the th rade boys in taking out the David Sherwood Cupgreat effort

Most lorious Thing in Cricket Here’s a fitting extract from The Arrow newspaper on Friday 7 October 1921 (almost 95 years ago) prior to the opening of the 121 22 Grade Cricket season written by the editor J C Davis under the heading “Most Glorious Thing in Cricket” (note there was only three grades in those days

To my view the most beautiful thing in cricket is not brilliant batting and superb bowling, but high class team-work. There is nothing better, for instance, than seeing two men at the wickets who know one another so well and who run between wickets with ease and success that charm, though the fieldsmen are at their top and ever looking for the one false move and then to run them out. Here you have the team-work on both sides, the batsmen collaborating for the runs, the bowlers and fieldsmen working together as one man, with the individual fielders on their toes all the time. That is the cricket that grips. And that is the cricket we want to see marking the First Graders in every district. And not only the First, but the Second and Third Graders. And there is not the slightest reason why it should not be general right through cricket in this country.

51 5th Grade Report by Nigil Singh, Captain Position in Competition: 1st-Premiers 11 wins; 6 losses As the Randwick Petersham victory song goes: “When speaking of the hampions, us Randy Petes are it”

It is always difficult to look back over a season and try and distil the ethos and character of a team that has achieved so much into a page, but it is my belief that the success of the team was predicated on the following principles:  eep things simple  unt as a pack  See the ball and hit the ball  ontribute to the team in any way possible  elieve that we can win from anywhere While the above may seem trite and somewhat obvious, they were the principles that guided us through the season and played out so wonderfully and fruitfully in the finals. Nigil Singh with the David Sherwood Cup The Players while many players contributed to the team I have limited comments to the Grand Final suad Kavvy Saini – Didn’t have the output that he would have liked with the bat but scored important runs against orth Sydney to put us in second spot at hristmas. Possesses a great pair of hands and is the best young slips fielder I have seen since a young Rod Stafford. as the game to succeed through the grades, especially as the bowling gets uicker just needs to work on his patience. Savio Gracias-Flor – ig Sav matured this year and played many important innings although two resonate more than others. is gutsy 1 against Mosman batting on the worst wicket I have seen in my Grade career set up an improbable win. Likewise, his in the Grand Final was at times imperious and seriously subdued Saints’ opening bowler with some thunderous pull shots. Got himself out too many times after doing all the hard yards but has all the attributes to be a successful opening batsman. Dylan Powell – A young man that came to the club with some good wraps and played some important innings batting at . nderstands his game better than most 1 year olds but I feel suffered a bit of burnout due to the demands of the Green Shield season on top of the Grade season. A player to watch for the future and I believe a future aptain in the making. Chris Hart – ame to the lub from Shires where he had won nine premierships in a row. Immediately contributed to the team with his positive attitude and was the eventual top scorer in the side. A natural clean hitter and great all round fielder, hris was part of the glue that held the team together, especially when he moved down to from his preferred opening spot. Played no more important innings than his in the Grand Final. Matt Hilder – My old mate, vicecaptain of the team and lapwalking buddy. Whilst I’m sure he didn’t score as many runs as he would have liked this year, Matt’s biggest contribution was in the field as my General. It was his tactical nous that guided us throughout the year and allowed me to contribute the best way that I could – with the ball. I’m not sure what his future plans are but Matt has been a great servant of the lub and has contributed much on and off the field. hank you, mate. Jack Standing – Possibly one of the most naturally gifted 1 year old players that I have had the pleasure of playing with and against. Set the tone for the year with a blistering off balls in the first game of the year and provided the icing on the cake with a magical off balls in the Grand Final including an amaing seven sies. A young man with a great future in the game, especially as he develops his more than useful seamers. Just keep the game simple, mate. Ben Montedoro – It’s slightly disconcerting when you have played cricket with a member of the team’s father but en will carve out his own legacy for RP, just as strong as his father Rob with Randwick. Safe to say that his season did not start too well scoring only si runs from his first seven innings. en continued to work hard at his game and showed a tremendous amount of resilience and character, finishing the year as arguably our most consistent batsman. nergetic in the field and with some work on his off spin bowling, he will be regular contributor to higher grades in no time. Kel Mullins – Doesn’t always look pretty, but gets the job done with both bat and gloves. Like Jack, ell is a natural cricketer and thrived in the big moments. is to help us secure an outright victory from nowhere against Sydney, as well as his record seven dismissals in the Semi Final underline his potential and will to win. A reluctant ‘keeper but some hard work with the gloves will ensure higher grades. Sam Boyns – An integral part of our success this year. Sam had an uncanny ability to take wickets with the new ball which freuently opened the door for us to make inroads into opposition orders. Sam finishes his time with the Randy Petes playing in two Grand Finals and winning one Premiership. It’s no surprise that teams that he has played in have had success. MacKenzie Waugh – Mac possess some of the best work ethic that I have seen in a long time. Freuently the first one at training and among the last to leave, Mac etracts the best out of himself through sheer hard work. urned a corner after hristmas, and ended the season with wickets across s and Metro up – an outstanding effort for someone in his first year of Grade. Would not be surprised to see him work his way uickly up the grades. Mitchell O’Loughlin – Mitch is a raw talent whose time in s was slightly undone with a big Green Shield workload. Mitch bowls a heavy ball, has a great bouncer and hits his yorker seemingly at will. While he wasn’t in the final 11 for the Semi and Final, his contribution in both of those games was immense underlining his strong team ethic and highlighting his future worth to the lub.

Skipper Nigil Singh began his team’s quest for the premiership in the best way possible—with a wicket first ball. he topscoring St George opener and captain’s first duck of the seasoncaught at first slip by ishwas Saini. More drama was to follow with Sam oyns sending a yorker through the first drop’s defence for a 21 scoreline. oyns continued the rot with two more uick ones to leave Saints in disarray at giving him the remarkable figures of off overs. igil Singh struck again after firstchange leftarmer Mac Waugh enticed a catch for a lunchtime score of . First ball after lunch Singh repeated what he had done in the first session by taking a wicket. Shortly after he forced an edge from the opening bat who had faced balls for to have them reeling at . A couple of lusty blows got the score to before Waugh struck twice in the space of balls to have them all out on that total. Singh finished with 1 off 1 overs while oyn ended with 1 off 1 and Waugh from 1..

he runchase saw the most dynamic batting from the side all summer. While ishwas Saini and Dylan Powell were gone with only 1 runs on the board, it was Savio Gracias Flor who took it up to the bowlers smashing off balls with towering sies. he hardhitting hris art did likewise and uickly the score raced to when Savio was out for . hey had put on —the best partnership of the season for the third wicket. art was gone runs later for a blistering off just balls with fours and sies.

But the slaughter didn’t stop there. Montedoro belted 35 off 40 balls with 5 fours and a si while the skipper, not renowned for his batting, hit one of his best scores in his seasons with off balls with fours and a si.

nd when the last wicket fell right on stumps the score had reached a superb 21 off ust 4.4 oers to gie the side a lead of 17 runs on the first innings. t was a brilliant display of batting with the team score the best for the season and the highest since mid way through the preious 201516 season. More amazing was the fact a total of 14 sixes had been hit in the afternoon’s batting. t was more akin to a 1st Grade performance in a O or T20 match than a 5th Grade Grand inal

The weather turned sour oernight and day 2 brought the predicted showers. fter much cleaningup play got underway almost an hour late. Howeer after ust 4 balls the heaens opened and the coers were again rushed out. The heay downpour put paid to any speedy resumption and after siing up the situation the St George captain called a halt and conceded defeat.

t was a gleeful Nigil Singh who accepted the aid Sherwood up at the presentationthe third time in its 1 years the club had won the competition. nd in a fitting tribute to the way Singh had handled his team as well as playing some brilliant cricket he was awarded the layer of the Grand inal Medal.

Three generations of O’Loughlin’s

Randwick Cricket Club icon John O’Loughlin may have been the proudest man in Heaven when his grandson Mitchell made his ydney rade ricket debut with andwick etersham. aking the field in th rade against niversity of at avid hillis orth val, Mitchell became the third generation of O’Loughlin’s to play for Randwick / Randwick Petersham after grandfather ohn and father aul. hile there have been many father, son and other family combinations throughout the history of ydney rade cricket now remier ricket there have surrisingly, been very few instances where layers from three generations have articiated in the cometition and even more rare when laying for the same club.

John O’Loughlin was a life member and one of the champions of andwick istrict ricket lub. He layed between 143 and 12 as a highorder right hand batsman and arttime legspin bowler. He was Randwick’s fifth highest rungetter in its 101 years, scoring ,313 runs with five centuries including 6,662 in 2nd Grade and 693 in 1st Grade. He regarded his 52 against the world’s fastest bowler eff homson on a dangerous wet wicket and winning the 1st rade batting average in 1666 when the est ndian fast bowler es Hall layed with andwick, as two of his fondest moments in the game. ohn assed away in 2014.

Inspired by his father, 18 year old Paul O’Loughlin made his debut with Randwick in 197879 playing in the club’s first 5th Grade team which made the semifinals. handy lower grade rightarm offsinner and caable bat, his 2 wickets in s in 10 was the season’s best while he took out the 4th Grade bowling average the following season. His five seasons with the club brought him wickets and 243 runs. hese days he serves the game as a member of the andwick unior ricket lub.

On Saturday 3 December 2016, Mitchell O’Loughlin, a tall 16 year old bowling medium pace with the O’Loughlin traditional right arm, took his lace in the andwick etersham th rade lineu. t was an emotional moment for the O’Loughlin family and for the club. ith father aul roudly watching from the sidelines and grandfather ohn looking down from high above, the youngster performed like an O’Loughlin would, taking 221 in University’s first innings to give his team a handy lead. ronically, also watching were Alan Wright and Trevor Jay, two players who learnt much under the 2nd Grade captaincy of John O’Loughlin as they made their way through the grades as youngsters.

ith another bright rosect in the wings in elder brother iam, andwick etersham ricket looks certain to be associated with the O’Loughlin name for many seasons to come, just as it has since it first appeared with the club 73 years ago.

Poidevin Gray Shield (Under 21 years) by Aden Nawaz, Manager Position in Competition: 20th 6 losses The season got off to a bumpy start with the Coach Eddie Otto pulling out due to work commitments before the season began. Despite several months of notice the squad were left without a permanent coach and so the season began with no team training and newly appointed captain James Psarakis being supported by Billy Anderson out at Penrith.

We lost the toss which was the beginning of a common theme for the season and got off to a terrible start with the bat, another common theme this season save for the last game. An enormous bowling effort almost pulled off a remarkable win.

There were pockets of individual brilliance scattered throughout all the games and morale was high despite the loss in round 1. Game 2 the team was joined by Alex Kemp and his presence took the young men to a new level of confidence, however that wasn’t enough to get us into a winning position and so game 2 also resulted in a loss.

In game 3 club selector Alan Wright took the role of team mentor and again our overall game wasn’t up to the high standards expected of a team with so much talent. The season was starting to look a bit disastrous as we slumped to our biggest loss of the season against NDs.

It was next off to Waverley to take on rivals Easts and joined once again by Billy Anderson. It was a tight contest but again too few stood up with the bat and ball and we lost our fourth straight game.

Game 5 saw us take on Mosman at Coogee but the game was all but over in the first 10 overs with Mosman’s openers smashing our bowling. We restricted the score from a 300 plus total to something that we could chase down on the fast Coogee outfield but again our batting let us down and we crashed to a 5-0 loss/win ratio. It was the worst start I can remember for our club in this prestigious competition.

The final game saw a long drive out to Hawkesbury. This time joined by Club Coach Greg Small. Once again we lost the toss and were asked to field. Hawkesbury were again off to a great start, we fought back but a few costly fielding errors and changes to the bowling which allowed the Hawkes to skip away to slightly more than they should have scored. But this time the batting order changed and it worked, we made our highest total for the season and had three batsmen caught deep on the fence going for the runs at the death. The final over saw the team needing 19 runs and we scored 14, losing by five.

A few players played their last game in the competition due to the age restrictions. Matt Everett, an awesome ‘keeper behind the stumps; Matt Critchley probably the nicest “Pom” you will meet and whose bowling and batting efforts kept us in quite a few games; Ashley Burton who has been the success story of the season with both bat and ball; and Max Moran who couldn’t match his last season’s performances with the bat, unfortunately for him and the team.

Despite losing all games the boys will be better for the experience and have grown to learn each other’s game and where each player should field, when they should bowl and maybe a new look batting line up. With most of the boys returning and hopefully with more training and structure around the team plus a permanent coach the boys can turn this season around and bounce back.

Thanks to Bill, Alan, Alex and Greg for their efforts and to all the RPCC families for supporting the team.

AW Green Shield Report

Position in Competition: 15th 2 wins; 1 draw; 4 losses

Our A W Green Shield side had a frustrating season winning two from six games and missing out on the finals, finishing in 15th spot. Expectations were sky-high after a fabulous 2015-16 season which saw the team make the Semi Finals, and desperately unlucky to miss a Grand Final berth losing by one run on Duckworth Lewis. Having retained nine of the players from that squad, we fielded a strong and experienced side capable of competing for a finals position once again and perhaps going a step further.

However, a series of close losses and a frustrating rain washout meant a season of near misses for our boys that turned on one game. Sitting with two wins and a loss and in control at 1-70 chasing 140 against Sydney University, we were in a great position to not only go 3-1 but also claim a bonus point victory. However, a bad batting collapse saw us go down by two runs against a side that was yet to register a win. That proved the death knell for our season as we went on to lose our final three games.

Despite the season not living up to expectations, the team had a number of strong performances and highlights. Convincing wins over last year’s Grand Finalists Hawkesbury, as well as a dominant win over Campbelltown at Petersham Oval, showed a newfound maturity and control in chasing totals, which is never easy in Green Shield. We also put in a competitive performance against eventual Grand Finalists Northern District, scoring over 200 for the only time this season at Mark Taylor Oval.

Individually the team had two standout performers in captain Josh Claridge and vice-captain Mac Jenkins. The boys showed great character and skill to lead from the front with their own performances in a side that was struggling for form as the season progressed. Josh Claridge was recruited from Newcastle as the AWGS Competition changed its rules, for the first time in several years, to allow the best Country players to participate in the competition with each club allowed two players from outside Sydney. This rule was to raise the standard of play, as well as giving the Country boys a chance to test their skills in the big smoke.

Claridge headed the batting statistics scoring 233 runs with three half centuries. He has his own style of batting, preferring to stay on the back foot with his exceptional hand-eye co-ordination and lightning fast hands. He was particular savage on the short ball with an outstanding pull shot and dispatched spinners to all parts of the ground once he got his eye in. Mac Jenkins, an Australian Under 16’s representative and SEJCA Rep local, was the best spin bowler in the competition, consistently going for just 2.3 runs per over throughout the tournament, which was easily the best economy rate. Not only did he contain but he managed to pick up wickets at regular intervals, really controlling and dominating those middle overs in the field for us. This year Mac has progressed a long way as a bowler with ability to drop the ball quicker and turn it more, making him a captain’s dream. He also showed some potential with the bat by valuing his wicket throughout the tournament and being rewarded by top scoring as opening batsman in our final game against Easts at Coogee Oval.

Other strong performances included our opening batsman Angus Clark who was consistent in providing good starts to the side throughout the season. Ben Scarf showed glimpses of what an effective strike bowler he can be with a four-wicket burst against Campbelltown at Petersham Oval. Alexander Dellar was the team’s most consistent fast bowler, regularly going for under three runs per over and picking up wickets at crucial intervals. Alex displayed a fantastic attitude throughout the season and with another season still to play in AWGS, will be one of the best fast bowlers in the competition leading into next season.

A big thank you to Head Coach Rehaan Nawaz and Assistant Coach Jaya Murdita for their efforts once again this season. Rehaan has now been involved for two years as a player, two years as Assistant Coach and two years as Head Coach, and it's a credit to him the time and energy, let alone commitment, he poured into our Green Shield program. Another huge thank you to Aden Nawaz, our Manager for the last five years. Aden has always gone above and beyond to make the Green Shield program a fulfilling one for players and parents and he will be sorely missed along with our two coaches as they will not be lining up with the side next season.

A final thank you to all the parents who helped, in particular with the scoring and canteen duties on match days, with Coogee and Petersham often having the best spread of lunches and afternoon teas in the competition. The team has an excellent and experienced coach in Glen Standing who is taking over next season and I’m sure the boys are capable of bouncing back and challenging for a final’s spot once again in 2017-18.

63 Metropolitan Cup Report by Jeremy Jastrzab, Manager

Position in Competition: Metro Gold 4th; Metro Green 8th Cricket always has been a game of fine margins. And while one margin in its isolation may not chart the course of the match, it’s how you react and allow that margin to affect, that the outcome may be determined. That’s the big lesson to be taken away from our Randwick Petersham Metropolitan Cup squad this season. While the Gold team were the beneficiaries of the rain last season, this season came to a squelching halt in the sodden Killara outfield, before being slowly washed down the overflowing drains. Following an injection of youth and exuberance, the Green team had a much improved performance but would be left to rue a few close encounters.

The Metropolitan Cup competition has very firmly placed itself as the nominal “6th Grade”, with most clubs using it as their primary feeder into their NSW Premier Cricket sides. Each side is filled with fledgling colts all keen to leave their mark on the cricketing landscape, while a few remaining geldings meander the field both as mentors and while holding onto the final vestiges of the days of glory past. With the talent so proliferated and stakes so high, all clubs unanimously agreed that the competition is just as strong as it has ever been. Though with such desire and pressure to perform, comes the odd flashpoint and the odd lapse. We’re hopeful that stakes in place will allow for (properly qualified and trained) NSWCUSA umpires to be employed for each game next season, as most of the games with standing officials were played in immaculate spirit.

For the second consecutive season, John Stewart’s Gold side qualified for the final four (as opposed to final six) and were led from the front with a calming passion and warm camaraderie. Backing up a Grand Final appearance from last season was always going to be tough, particularly with the star imports having either moved to Premier Cricket or left to sporadic cameos. But in this, the season of moments and cameos, several spirited performances from up-and-coming youngsters and club stalwarts across the season were just enough to clinch the fourth available semi-final spot in the last round of the regular season.

Their season got off to a flyer, with a clinical thumping of Georges River at Bland Oval yielding 2 bonus points in the bag and worthwhile trip down the M5. A tight loss followed to UNSW, while reigning premiers Penrith were allowed to cobble together a winning score after the Golds gave away a position of ascendency. This would be a common theme throughout the season in the lower grades. Two big wins against Mosman and Blacktown got the season back on track. It was an honour and privilege to step in and captain in place of John against Mosman, and I thank the boys for rallying around and putting in the most consummate team performance that you could ask for. Blacktown were rolled in the first session and then buried by a Metropolitan Cup record 1st wicket partnership by Neale Crawford and Kel Mullins of 178, beating the previous stand of 147 by Peter Johnson (current Director of Cricket Ireland’s Academy) and Grant Frakes. A hundred from Kirk Rimmer (brother of RP legend, Grant) and a figurative and literal dropping of the ball conspired to hand Easts an outright. In the first of two derbies this season, another all-round team performance put the Golds back on the winner’s board, but not without a fight from a spirited Green team. The game was played in markedly improved conditions at Marrickville Oval, which is shaping up nicely in its renovations.

A washout led into Christmas, with the Golds sitting mid-table and well within striking distance of the finals. Sydney University delivered a wake-up call, after their number 10 batter axe-cut his team to a 200+ score having come in at 8/100. Thankfully, the Golds overcame an atrocious start of 6-30 to pile on 207 in the second derby at Coogee against Green that pathed the way for another double bonus point win. A high scoring draw against UNSW followed on a benign David Phillips wicket, where the players are to be commended for not giving the game away. Sydney University then again played heartbreakers to deny a win by 3 runs. In the unseasonal month of rain that followed, the Golds somehow managed to squeeze a favourable result against Georges River in a rain affected match, with us as the away team taking charge of covers. A scheduling quirk and Snape’s conversion to an aquatic centre denied a clash with front-running Gordon in the penultimate round.

And so the Golds reached the final match regular season in fifth position and a simple equation – win it to have a chance of being in it. Easts game us a massive favour by only showing up with eight players at Rance Oval – despite occupying third spot at the time – and our favourite opponents, Mosman, were standing in our way. A score of 125 thankfully proved to be enough, as a difficult Kensington wicket made for an attritional day. It was on for young and old as the powerful Gold bowling line up proved to be enough to beach the Whales for 97 and book a spot in the finals. The usual excitement that would have usually led into finals was tempered by a week of persistent rain, and just as the rain fell in our favour last season, so too did it fall in favour of first- placed Gordon this season. Credit to the Gordon team though, for making all possible efforts to get us on despite being favoured by the draw and lesson learned to the Golds – make the margins count and finish higher.

Inheriting the team last season as its fourth captain, Alexis Coovre led the Green team again for the full season this time and made strides in creating an environment conducive for the younger players to perform. To his credit, he was willing to hold himself back from batting and bowling to make sure the players around him had a platform to shine, and he had knack for thinking out of the box. While this led to an improved performance this season, the players will rue a few close encounters that got away.

64 Randwick Petersham 16th Annual Report 2016 - 17

veryone was scrambling for the rule book after rain interrupted the first round match at etersham at the innings change, with Sydney University having piled on in overs. n a pitch that could be used to land aeroplanes, the fledgling Green side chased down the revised score within overs. That would be as good as it got until after Christmas, as three close loses to osman, asts and enrith followed. The enrith one was particularly ecruciating as only nine runs separated what would have been only their third loss in the preceding three seasons. A gallant draw against Georges iver came inbetween, where the unlikely pair of Aleis and Charith e Silva held the vultures at bay following a youthful rearguard, while Gordon and then the Golds consigned the team to the bottom of the ladder at Christmas.

Something in the Christmas cake proved to be the tonic for the Greens, as they only lost two games to go with three wins and one rainaffected match that was heavily in their favour. UNSW were then dispatched with a mature and patient chase, lacktown were blown away be an reinforced lineup at arrickville, before being again thwarted in the return fiture in the last round of the season. osman were quaking in their boots until the ebruary rains saved them. They had the Golds on the ropes but let it slide, while a particularly sultry day played into the hands of enrith at ance, but overall they can be proud of finishing the season on a high and in a better placed seventh than last year. Impressively, the young group never allowed themselves to be overawed and stayed positive throughout.

ast season ayden o couldn’t buy a wicket and had to wait five games before even opening his account, but this season the Fox became the Hound and led Gold’s attack with a competition high 36 wickets with two 5wicket hauls. Add to that a couple of valuable batting cameos, safe and athletic fielding, an uncompromising dedication to his team in the face of midseason travails and you have a player and team mate that you’d take to the frontlines in a heartbeat. Mitchell O’Loughlin had cranked up his pace even further from last season, and it was quite the sight to behold ayden and itch literally scaring the life out of the osman batsmen in the last round, as facing marks crept to square leg. Ale eller, fresh off being leading wickettaker in Green Shield, had a productive season with wickets, with incisive spells at both ends of the innings. ac Waugh bowled himself back into form and ended up winning a premiership with th Grade following a determined stint in etro, while Adam ee showed that experience counts as much as fire power, with a number of match winning spells throughout the season. Liam O’Loughlin batted off challengers from all sides to retain his title as the leading spinner in etro with wickets, while ratulya ashyap showed promise as well, with vital breakthroughs throughout and a couple of powerful batting cameos.

The batting front was led by Neale Crawford, as he brought up a maiden century in the season’s first derby and showed the consistency throughout that he’d always threatened since coming to the club si years ago. is runs was the second highest aggregate in the competition and a testament to him enoying his game and his surroundings. earteningly, a number of the younger players stood up to be counted this year with the bat. Adam inkelstein combined deftness, power and athleticism with refreshing maturity, scoring runs at a touch over , as he was able to attack or defend as the match situation required. Apollo apathanasiou also breached runs for the season with a mi of style and grit (watch out for his sleek ‘keeping as well), and eter Andonopoulos also gave glimpses of a powerful technique. el ullins brought up a maiden century at Whalan ark, before finding himself in a premiership winning side by season’s end, while Damian Sidney punctuated the season with powerful cameos and the most assured technique against the main bogey of etro players – . attling nerves and poor starts at the beginning of the season, Chintin Sapariya found a home in the middle order and became the rock of the Green batting order to add some substance to his obvious style. Adam ee added much appreciated consistency to his batting to go with his wellknown power, for a highly successful allround season. A special mention to Abbey havsar, who did ust about everything required on the cricket field – sometimes batting, bowling and keeping in the same match – whenever the team required it.

A measure of the success in player retention in recent times would have to come in the number of etropolitan Cup club records that are being stacked up by our players. While George raakis might not be caught, Neale Crawford became the second player to breach , runs in the competition, while both Sean ushton and amian Sidney oined the previously eclusive run club, seventh and eighth respectively. Hayden Fox and Liam O’Loughlin both brought up 50 wickets, both players of the future that can stay at the club for years, while Adam ee now is the Randwick Petersham’s leading wicket taker in the Metropolitan Cup with wickets. The most impressive record though would have to be the etropolitan Cup games brought up by club legend, Charith e Silva, the fourth after George raakis, John Stewart and enis inds. While the game ended up in a wash out, Charith celebrated his th match by restricting osman to a gettable score with a tight spell and three wickets. Charith’s achievement is not only testament to his love and passion for the game, but to everyone at andwick etersham and all those who work for inclusiveness in cricket. It shows that cricket truly is a game for all.

It was a hardfought season on the field, and a testing one off the field, as a number of loved ones were farewelled throughout the season. ne of these loved ones, aura inds, the daughter of club life member and etropolitan Cup doyen enis inds, lost her battle with Sarcoma at the tender age of . A number of club members knew aura, while everyone who has participated for andwick etersham in the etro Cup over the years has benefitted from Denis’ contribution. n behalf of the family I’d like to thank everyone involved in the tributes and fundraising throughout the season, particularly the playing base involved in this season’s Coogee Derby that raised to the awareness initiative – Stop Sarcoma – that aura set up before her passing. It goes to show ust how tightknit the cricketing family is, and the community benefits that a club like andwick etersham can provide. Congratulations to all the etropolitan Cup players on their achievements this season and we look forward to going higher and further net season ay the margins be forever in our favour.

He scored more than 4,500 runs and was Secretary for a record 19 years. The O A Taylor Memorial Player of the Season Award was first presented by Randwick in 1977. Martin Bedkober was a promising opening batsman and wicketkeeper with Petersham-Marrickville before his untimely death in a cricket match in 1975 aged just 21. In A W Green Shield in 1968-69, he scored 645 runs and effected 23 dismissals behind the stumps—both records for the club. The Martin Bedkober Memorial Trophy for the Most Promising Player was first presented by the Petersham-Marrickville club in 1976.

Anthony Sams Without doubt a champion wicket-keeper, Anthony Sams this season confirmed his promise as a champion batsman by scoring a mammoth 1,062 runs in the three 1st Grade competitions—the Belvidere Cup (821), the Limited Overs Cup (174) and the Twenty20 Cup (67). It was only the fourth time a player had scored 1,000 runs in a season for the club behind Usman Khawaja, Nathan Price and Richard Chee Quee. Opening the batting in every game, Anthony hit three centuries and was unluckily dismissed lbw when on 95 in another. In the first match of the season he scored a career-best 152* off just 139 balls with 19 fours against Fairfield-Liverpool at Coogee. Three matches later he hit 121 against Blacktown which was part of a record opening partnership of 254 with Alex Kemp who made 122. That effort enabled the side to reel in a target of 9-373—a record for the club. Anthony scored 447 runs in four matches in the first 35 days of the season. Another four half- centuries were followed by his third century when he thrashed Hawkesbury at Coogee Oval for 104 off just 114 balls with seven boundaries and a six to bring up an even 1,000 for the season. He also took his club career record to 3,759. At the start of the season Sams had 235 wicket-keeping dismissals to his credit. In round 7 against University of NSW at Coogee he passed the 250 milestone with three catches before completing the season with 268. His 33 dismissals this season was the third successive year he has finished with that number. His record is made up of 244 caught, 24 stumped with just 137 byes. His performances this season led to his selection in the NSW Second XI team and in the Kingsgrove Sports Merit XII-1st Grade Team of the Year. Anthony scored 961 points to be a decisive winner of the prestigious Player of the Season Award.

CLUBMAN OF THE YEAR - PLAYER The Tim Towers / Stuart Gardner Memorial Award Sponsored by Harry Solomons through Kingsgrove Sports Tim Towers was a left hand fast bowler with Randwick.

Sam Boyns Samuel Boyns returned to the Randy Petes following a successful season in Metro Cup in 2015-16. “Spesh” was welcomed back and is a popular member of the club, both on and off the field. Initially graded in 5s he was elevated to 4th Grade and played a further two matches in that grade before Christmas. Combining with his skipper, Nigil Singh, a formidable new ball partnership led 5th Grade to the Premiership title returning strong figures of 30 wickets at 12.37 with best figures of 4-28 in a thriller against Wests. Furthermore, in the Grand Final he had at one stage, the enviable figures of 5 overs, 5 maidens 3-0 ripping the heart out of the Saints line-up. He also played against Kowloon CC returning 0-10 from 4 overs. Away from the field Spesh’s dedication to the Randy Petes was greatly obvious. Always one of the first to volunteer, he filled in as scorer for 1st Grade throughout the T20 campaign and was also recognised as a NSW Representative scorer for the T20 tour match against the Lahore Qalandars at Coogee. Along with his best mate Pingu (E-Young Khoo) they built the Snape Park batting cage in a day. He also completed the club’s season statistics as appear in this annual report. Usually, overseas players have limited time at a Grade Club but in Sam’s case he was greatly dedicated to the Randy Petes and is a deserving winner of the 2016-17 Player of the Season Award.

After a score of 105 in rds ust before Christmas he forced his way into nd Grade where he immediately impressed with two unconuered innings to help get the side home in close matches. At his current rate of improement which has been partly due to his inolement in the NS 17 suad it would be no surprise to see ack earn the baggy green and a 1st Grade number in future years. ack is also a top fielder.

His eagerness for “postmatch beers” is seen as the main reason he is still playing David displays ecellent people skills with all age groups both young and old which helps greatly in the transition of young players from Green Shield into mature Grade cricketers. layers who have progressed up the grades under his leadership have had a “teamfirst” attitude, enoying a few drinks and a chat after a day on the cricket field.

he rnie oshack ward to David ourke is etremely well deserved and carries with it the thanks from all at andwick etersham for his outstanding contribution to the club. ay it continue long into the future.

77 New records this Season

New record partnerships:  In the 1st Grade Limited Overs match against Fairfield-Liverpool at Coogee Oval, opener Anthony Sams (152) and no. 4 Jake Scicluna (89) put on 217 for the third wicket taking the score from 2-72 to 3-289 in 109 minutes. This broke the previous record of 188 set by Usman Khawaja and Simon Katich against St George at Hurstville Oval in 2007-08. The final score of 7-332cc resulted in a win by 9 runs.  Chasing Blacktown’s 9-373 declared at Joe McAleer Oval in 1st Grade, Anthony Sams (121 off 143 balls with 17 fours) and Alex Kemp (122 off 197 with 16 fours and 4 sixes) put on 254 for the first wicket in 228 minutes. This broke the 1st Grade record of 165* held jointly by Joseph Hill and Paul Toole v Gordon in 2002-03 and Rory Burns and Nicholas Stapleton playing Bankstown at in 2013-14. It also broke the club record of 235 set by Angus Stewart and Troy Brewster v Mosman in 3rd Grade in 2008-09. It was also the second highest partnership for the club in any grade behind the 293 set by Eddie Otto and John McLoughlin for the second wicket against Gordon in 2009-10.  In the 4th Grade match against Blacktown at Petersham Oval in round 4, Corey Parker (96) and Jaya Murdita (31) came together with the score a perilous 6-77 chasing 7-328 declared. When Jaya was caught after 67 minutes, the pair had put on 126 for the seventh wicket. This broke the previous 4th Grade record of 115 held by Nicholas Stapleton and Matthew Hilder against St George in 2010-11. Unfortunately the final score of 215 was well short of the target. New high score Limited Overs record in 1st Grade:  In the Limited Overs match against Fairfield-Liverpool at Coogee Oval, the 1st Grade side scored 7-332 in 50 overs. This broke the high score record for LO matches of 5-328 established in 2009-10 against Blacktown at Coogee which resulted in a win by 114 runs. Usman Khawaja (116) and Matt Frith (128) scored 250 for the second wicket in that match. Fairfield-Liverpool responded with a score of 323 to go down by just nine runs. New winning run-chase record in 1st Grade:  Chasing Blacktown’s 9-373 declared (94 overs) at Joe McAleer Oval in round 4 on Saturday 29 October 2016, the 1st Grade side scored 5-378 to win by 5 wickets. Alex Kemp (122), Anthony Sams (121), Daniel Sams (45) and Nathan Price (44) made the runs in just 71 overs. This was the highest score achieved by any team in the club to win when chasing runs. The previous best was against Gordon at in 2009-10 when the side posted 3-357 to chase down 9-354 declared after Eddie Otto (163) and John McLoughlin (157*) had put on a record partnership of 293 for the second wicket. Three rounds earlier that season they had made 5-349 chasing down Fairfield-Liverpool’s 7-345 declared at Coogee with Usman Khawaja making 189. New wicket-keeping records:  Karl Schubert became the first lower grade wicketkeeper to pass 200 dismissals when he caught 3 in 3rd Grade in round 4 against Blacktown and became only the second player in the club behind 1st Grade’s Anthony Sams to achieve that milestone. He finished the season with 36 dismissals (30 caught; 6 stumped) while conceding just 30 byes. He announced his retirement at the end of the season with a record of 226 dismissals—186 caught and 40 stumped.  Anthony Sams achieved the impressive milestone of 250 1st Grade wicket-keeping dismissals when he caught University of NSW skipper Charlie Wakim for 8 off his brother Daniel in the second innings in round 7 at Coogee Oval. He finished the season with 33 dismissals (31 caught; 2 stumped) while conceding 14 byes. He now has 268 dismissals (244C; 24St).  Kel Mullins, 16, took 5 catches in the first innings and 2 in the second for 7 in the match against Gordon in the Semi-Final against Gordon at Tunks Park. The match was won outright. Kel finished the season with 16 dismissals. New record Metro Cup partnership:  Chasing Blacktown’s 102 at Whalan Oval 2 in round 5, Kel Mullins (102) and Neale Crawford (78) for RP Gold put on 178 for the first wicket. Not only did this pass the Blacktown score with all 10 wickets intact, but it set a new first wicket partnership club record for Metropolitan Cup cricket. The previous record of 147 stood for 14 years having been set was by Peter Johnson and Grant Frakes in the club’s first season 2001-02. Youngest century-maker  In making 105* in 3rd Grade in round 7 against University of NSW at Petersham Oval, Jack James, at 17 years and 15 days, became the youngest player to score a century for Randwick Petersham in that grade. He is also the second youngest century scorer in the club behind Sean Gardner who, at 16 years and 186 days, scored 125* against Blacktown in 4th Grade at Coogee Oval on 11 March 2006. Youngest to play Poidevin Gray under 21  Playing against Mosman at Coogee, Mac Jenkins, at 15 years and 117 days became our youngest-ever PG player. Called into the side at late notice for the 8 January 2017 match, the youngster bowled a very tight spell of 10 overs with his left- arm spinners returning 0-25. Andrew Redman who first played at 15 years and 177 days against St George at Hurstville on 5 November 2006 was the previous youngest. Interestingly, just three months earlier Mac became the youngest to score a century for the Waverley College 1st XI when he hit 109 off 178 balls with 13 fours and a six against St Aloysius while just 15 years and 32 days.

79 Major Milestones 6,000 runs for the Club At the beginning of the season John McLoughlin needed 122 runs to reach 6,000 for Randwick Petersham. Playing 3rd Grade he was away to a promising start with 47 against Fairfield-Liverpool in the first match and 64 playing Wests in the second. However, there was some frustration with only 11 runs to get as his next two matches realised just eight. But the milestone was put to bed in round 5 against Penrith at Coogee Oval with a score of 17. This gave John the added honour of being the first player to reach the 6,000 runs mark for the club in his 214th match. An injury before Christmas however, brought a premature end to John’s season which he finished with a RPC career total of 6,115. John’s Randwick Petersham runs-record comprises 1,370 in 1sts; 3,558 in 2s; 724 in 3s; 187 in 4s and 276 in 5th Grade. With his old Randwick club record his NSW Premier Cricket career totals 7,390 runs. Usman Khawaja is the second greatest run-getter with 5,620.

450 wickets for Randwick Petersham and 500 career wickets Nigil Singh had a brilliant season leading his 5th graders to Premiership honours while being presented with a medal as Player of the 5th Grade Grand Final. He also achieved two outstanding milestones when he took 56 wickets during the season—his best in 20 years of NSW Premier Cricket. The right-arm swing bowler finished the season with a career total of 470 wickets in five grades for Randwick Petersham—the first player to pass 450. He started the season with 414 and his 450th came up during a 4-16 performance against Mosman at Balmoral Oval on Saturday 4 February 2017. His season tally also enabled him to pass 100 wickets in 5th Grade, just the fifth player to achieve the century. His 470 wickets are made up of 27 in 1st Grade; 50 in 2nds; 241 in 3rds; 50 in 4ths and 102 in 5th Grade. With the 70 wickets taken during his days with the old Randwick club, Nigil also passed the superb milestone of 500 wickets in NSW Premier Cricket. His record now stands at 540.

400 wickets for Randwick Petersham At the end of last season Rodney Stafford had the impressive record of 391 wickets and 3,148 runs for Randwick Petersham. Needing nine to crack the 400 mark, the right-arm leg-spinner did just that in round 5 when he took the first of three wickets against Penrith at Coogee Oval on Saturday 12 November 2016. He was the second player behind Nigil Singh to reach that milestone for the club. He finished the season with 18 wickets for a career total of 409 made up of 98 in 1st Grade; 232 in 2nd Grade and 79 in 3s. With 110 wickets taken with the old Randwick club, Rodney’s NSW Premier Cricket record stands at an amazing 519 wickets. And while his RPC runs-record stands at 3,320 and his overall career total is 4,172 he is on the cusp of another milestone as he has scored 994 in 3rd Grade—just six short of being the ninth player to make 1,000 in that grade. With those half dozen runs next season and another 21 wickets to add to his 3rd Grade tally of 79, he will become the first player to achieve the 1,000 runs/100 wickets double in that grade.

200 matches and 4,500 runs in 1st Grade Adam Semple, indisputably Randwick Petersham’s greatest all-rounder, has achieved a number of performance milestones in his 11 seasons with the club and this season brought up another two. In the eighth match of the summer, a two-day match against Sydney at starting Saturday 19 November 2016 he became the first Randwick Petersham player to chalk up 200 games in 1st Grade. It was also a match in which he took his fourth five-wickets-in-an-innings haul, finishing with 5-50. And in the first T20 match of the season against Mosman at Coogee his 43 off just 35 balls took him past the 4,500 1st Grade runs mark. Only Nathan Price (5,116) and Usman Khawaja (4,895) have scored more 1st Grade runs for the club. He is currently 61st on the NSW Premier Cricket history list of 1st graders who have scored 3,000 runs and taken 200 wickets having made 4,818 runs and taken 247 wickets. With just another 182 runs and three wickets he will move into a select group—possibly the top 50-- of players who have taken 250 wickets and made 5,000 runs in 1st Grade. A brilliant player.

200 wicket-keeping dismissals and 125 in 4th Grade Needing 10 for a career total of 200 wicket-keeping dismissals, Karl Schubert brought up the magic number in round 3 with a neat catch to give him five 3rd Grade dismissals in NDs first innings at Asquith. By round 8 he was in 4s where his second catch against Bankstown at Coogee gave him another milestone of 125 dismissals in that grade. Shortly after he equalled his previous best performance against Easts in 2005-06 with seven scalps in the match against Manly at Graham Reserve catching four in the first innings and three in the second. Karl finished with a record of 143 4th Grade dismissals. His season tally of 36 in 3s and 4s was the best in the club and took his overall record in 136 matches to 226—186 caught and 40 stumped.

Three club greats “pull up stumps”

James Tyson, Karl Schubert and Matt Wallis, three of the club’s best cricketers have announced their retirement as players. Each of them has had a wonderful career with the club and their contribution is acknowledged and appreciated. They will be sorely missed from the playing ranks in the next and coming seasons. Here is a brief run-down on their playing days.

James Tyson: A fast-medium left hander, James has had an outstanding career covering 10 seasons. He winds it up with 279 wickets of which 196 were achieved in 2nd Grade--second only to Rodney Stafford who has taken 232.

James joined the club from Tasmania in 2007-08 somewhat unheralded and not available for all games. He was accordingly selected in 5th Grade. That selection showed how little was known of him as he demolished opposing bats and bowled his team to premiership honours. In the 11 matches he played he took 39 wickets at just 8.67. He had his yorker “on song” in his last four games taking 21 wickets including 16 for 64 in the finals series. His 6-26 in the Grand Final gave North Sydney no hope. Figures of 7-16 v Bankstown and 7- 21 v Blacktown were also achieved.

His second season was in 2nd Grade where he featured for the following nine years. During that time he was a most consistent performer leading the attack with plenty of stamina and pace. His best season was 2010-11 when he took 37 wickets which included hauls of 5-21 v Bankstown, 5-24 v Parramatta and 5-48 v Mosman. He took the 2nd Grade bowling honours that season as he did four years later when he finished with 32 scalps. Included in that total was a 6-99 performance off a mammoth 37 overs in a drawn match against Wests at . He also put in some handy digs at the tail involving himself in partnerships of 45 and 61 for the 8th and 9th wicket. His 27* against Sutherland that season was a career best although he came close to overtaking that score this season with 22* in a 10th wicket partnership of 66 with Joe Hart.

With such an outstanding record in 2nd Grade it was surprising James never got to play 1st Grade. And while that may have officially been the case he is credited with having played two matches in the top grade. The occasion was 2008-09 when a Twenty20 “exhibition” competition was played on a Sunday at Bankstown with three matches played in the day. All 1st graders did not play and the club’s teams were made up with players from the various grades. Tyson played in two games taking a total of 1-46 off 6 overs while scoring 11 runs. In the years which followed the Sydney Cricket Association decided to include all performances in T20 games in the player’s official Grade Cricket statistics with the result that James, some years after the event, is credited with having played two 1st Grade games. James also played 3rd Grade periodically taking 41 wickets in 17 matches with 5-17 against Fairfield-Liverpool his best.

James’ decision to hang up his boots at just 34 years of age has little to do with a loss of form or the like, as he took 5-24 against Parramatta in his tally of 23 wickets this season. In fact, in 16 turns at the bowling crease he took wickets on 12 occasions to confirm his ability as a strike bowler.

James has not only been a brilliant performer with a new cricket ball in his hand but has been of outstanding service to the club off the field in his role as Financial Controller. At a time when the financial aspects of a Grade Club are more akin to a small business than an amateur sporting body, the expertise which James has been able to provide during the past five years has been of immense value. He plans to continue in that position notwithstanding his retirement as a player and the club is much the richer for that decision. It is also hoped that he may see fit to slip the bowling boots on from time to time.

82 Randwick Petersham 16th Annual Report 2016 - 17

Karl Schubert: Karl started with andwick etersham in 20006 playing eight matches spread over rd, th and th grades—the latter two winning the premiership. He scored a total of 78 runs and effected 12 dismissals. A conservative beginning for a player who 12 seasons later would retire with an outstanding record as a batsmanwicketkeeper. n 16 matches covering 2nd through th Grade, he effected 226 dismissals—186 catches and 0 stumpings while conceding just 29 byes. His record reads 2nd Grade 1c1s rd Grade 7c11s th Grade 12c20s th Grade 2c8s.

He won the club wicketkeeper’s award in 20131 with 1 dismissals and this season the years old won it again with 6. He effected 7 dismissals in a match twice in th Grade—the first in 20006 against astern Suburbs and again this season playing ManlyWarringah. n 201112 he completed dismissals in th Grade. nly Matt Taylor with 8 in 20020 has more.

Karl had great success as an opening batsman scoring 2,77 runs—1,11 in ths 9 in rds 9 in ths and 2 in 2nds. He hit two centuries—122 against Sydney in th Grade in 200809 and 109 playing s in th Grade in 2011. His Syney effort was part of a partnership of 12 for the th wicket with Matt Hilder which to this day remains a club record. ut despite these brilliant performances his proudest moment came in the th Grade Grand inal in 200708. Chasing North Sydney’s 121 at Tunks ark, he opened the batting and set up the premiership victory with a topscore of 7 and a 1st wicket partnership of 91. Two seasons later he won the 200910 batting aggregate and average in th Grade with 27 runs at 27. to confirm his talent as a consistent opening batsman.

Karl completes his andwick etersham career as a dedicated clubman both on and off the field. His Master of Ceremonies duties at club functions and as ground announcer in the club big matches emphasised his value and commitment. He has also been Club Captain these past two years. ne of the good guys who can take a great deal of pleasure from his contribution.

Matt Wallis: Matt is our second th Grade retiree who coincidentally began with the club the same season as Karl Schubert—20006. A bustling rightarm paceman, he was uite a sensation in his first Grade Cricket season finishing with 0 wickets—10 in s and 0 in s. He also belted 22 runs with the bat. oth grades won the premiership and Matt had a hand in each. n rd Grade his 2 against Hawkesbury ensured the side was well on the way to annexing the premiership while he did the same in ths with some outstanding performances. laying TS almain he almost singlehandedly knocked them over for 7 taking 20 in the process. And while that effort returned his best figures, his most valuable performance occurred in the Grand inal at Coogee against airfieldiverpool when he bowled them out for 128 defending a vulnerable total of just 16 to take the title. He finished with 0 that day off 21 overs with 7 maidens. He also showed he was a classy bat by hitting 6 with 6 sixes against Sutherland in the ualifying inal.

Matt returned his best bowling figures in 200809 when he took 77 in a rd Grade limited overs match against ni. of SW. He was the top bowler in the side that season promoted after a single th Grade match where he belted 108 and took 6 against arramatta at Kensington val. n that match he and Jordan Magro put on a record partnership of 92 for the 8th wicket. ut by the end of the following 200910 season and with a young family, Matt announced his retirement.

Six years later “Wally” was back and showed he had lost none of his ability with a brilliant 51 performance against Sydney in rd Grade at etersham which enabled the side to win with a bonus point and grab an unexpected spot in the finals. And although the years were ticking by, the year old saved one of his greatest performances for his last few th Grade games when he took 626 against Manly which included a spell of 0. n a andwick etersham career spanning 7 seasons, Matt Wallis finished with 16 wickets and 1,290 runs. He had 8 wickets and 702 runs in s while in th Grade he took 67 wickets and hit 9 runs. A career to be proud of.

Randwick Petersham Cricket v Lahore Qalandars Coogee Oval 9 November 2016

On a day when Donald Trump became President-elect of the USA, the Randy Petes under the leadership of 1st Grade skipper Alex Kemp took on the Lahore Qalandars at Coogee Oval in another “International” match. With eyes on the BOM radar, the match got underway under grey skies, with the sun peeking out at various times. Kemp and Usman Qadir, son of Pakistani great Abdul Qadir, tossed and it was agreed Lahore would bat first. The Qalandar openers R Ahmed and Saadullah got off to a conservative start of 23 before Ram claimed the first wicket of Saadullah for 12. This brought wicket-keeper and Man of the Match Hamza (61) to the crease whose innings ended with a spectacular diving catch by the evergreen Nick Warren in the deep, following his unbroken spell of 1-25(4). Matt Critchley (1-27) and Tom McKenzie (1-29) bowled well to restrict the Qalandars' bats but Ram was the star with 3-27 including being on a hat-trick in the penultimate over. The Lahore Qalandars finished their allotted 20 overs 7-175.

Matt Everett (3) and Matt Critchley (27) began the run chase but Ethisham Sultan (2- 17) put on the brakes removing both batsmen. Psarakis (11) looked to up the tempo but was caught in the deep off Riaz. Following his dismissal and with thunder cracks closing in, only one more over from the skipper was possible before the umpires closed proceedings and the match was called off shortly after. With Randy Petes 18 runs behind on Duckworth-Lewis (3-58), the Beastwear International T20 Cup went to the Lahore Qalandars. Best wishes from the Randy Petes to Lahore Qalandars for the rest Usman Qadir and Alex Kemp with the Cup of their Australian tour.

Following the match former Pakistani fast bowler and Lahore Director of Cricket, Aaqib Javed thanked the Randy Petes for a good match and hospitality and presented the club with a wonderful souvenir box and signed playing shirt.

More than a “Chip of the Old Block”

Two players who were in the lower grades for Randwick DCC in the 1930s had sons who became greats. In 1935-36, Neville Jay, an 18 year old right-arm pace bowler joined Randwick and played in the A Shires and 4th Grade teams before getting a game in 2nd Grade the following season. He only played two seasons taking 59 wickets and scoring 299 runs. His son Trevor who was born at Waverley in 1951 went on to become a left-arm orthodox spin bowler with Randwick taking 704 1st Grade wickets in a career spanning 23 seasons. He played NSW State Colts in 1972-73. In 1939-40, Noel Chardon, a left-hander from Brook Street Coogee, had a season with Randwick scoring a total of 214 runs and taking 28 wickets in the lower grades and Poidevin Gray competition. His son David was born at Newtown also in 1951 and in a career covering 23 seasons as a right-arm fast-medium bowler took 793 1st Grade wickets for Petersham- Trevor Jay Marrickville and Sydney. David Chardon Dave Chardon played NSW Sheffield Shield in 1975-76 and is the 10th highest 1st Grade wicket-taker in the history of Sydney Grade Cricket while Trevor Jay is the 15th. And all of this from two cricketing fathers who never played a single game in 1st Grade!

Gallery of Champions

A reflection on the cricket careers of some of those champions of the past who shaped Randwick Petersham into what it is today. Presented by Club Historian and Life Member Lyall Gardner OAM

John Hayward

In its 101 years history, Randwick Cricket Club had only five treasurers. The longest serving of those was John Hayward who looked after the club’s finances for a massive 27 years. And while his administrative career was of outstanding value to the club, his contribution as a cricketer was just as valuable as he was one of the more brilliant batsmen of his time.

John Archer Hayward was born at Scone on 11 July 1935 and brought up in Maitland where he was one of the Hunter Valley’s most dominant batsmen. Transferred in his job to Sydney in 1962 Hayward joined Randwick. He was immediately ushered into the 1st Grade team where in 1962-63 he scored the first of his 4,684 runs for the club. He was to go on and score seven centuries with a highest score of 133 against St George while holding 60 catches. A feature of his play was a dynamic hook shot which brought him many runs and put paid to the aspirations of many opposing fast bowlers.

In just his second season Hayward was appointed 1st Grade captain and celebrated with a fine 108 against Petersham. He hit another century the following summer scoring 111 against Northern District. In 1965-66 the legendary West Indian fast bowler Wesley Hall played a season with Randwick and John stood down from the captaincy in favour of Wes. The change didn’t ruffle him however, and he hit his third century in as many seasons with his 103 against Petersham the top score for the team which went on to make the semi-finals.

The experiences of that West Indian summer remain etched in John’s memory. He recalls that in a match against Sutherland at Coogee Oval a ball from Wes hit batsman Gary Parker in the head. The ball flew one bounce into the fence at deep fine leg for four leg byes. Parker staggered to square leg with blood coming from a head wound and screamed “I’m not afraid of you b…..man, get back and bowl”. He then collapsed in a heap. John says that game was also memorable for its scores. Randwick was dismissed for just 80 causing Wes to bet the Sutherland skipper Norm O’Neill they wouldn’t score 50. They managed 63 with Wes at his fastest taking 7-20.

John also recalls that playing Cumberland in the semi-final that season Wes was bowled by the action-suspect left hand John Aitkin with a dart ball for six. On his way back to the pavilion Wes went right off in Cumberland skipper ’s ear along the lines “you and the other journalists reckon poor old Charlie (Griffiths) throws and you got one in your own club”. The icing was really put on the cake in the second innings when Wes was bowled: same bowler, same ball.

John played 11 seasons of 1st Grade with Randwick scoring 3,120 runs at the healthy average of 21.67. His best season was in 1964-65 when he scored 422 as captain. Towards the end of his career he captained the 2nd Grade side hitting 399 in 1972-73 and 457 the following summer when aged 39. Despite seemingly being like the good wine as he aged, that was his final season. He ended with 1,564 runs in 2s to go with his 1st Grade tally and complete an excellent Grade Cricket career.

In 1964 John was appointed Honorary Treasurer of the club and so commenced a distinguished career of cricket administration and one of the longest Office Bearer appointments in the history of Randwick. His 27 years’ service followed two other long termers in Wally Dowd who undertook the role for 26 years while George Simpson was John’s predecessor with 17 years as Hon Treasurer.

A dapper dresser, John Hayward always looked the part on the field. Former President Bill Beath was so impressed by the immaculate cricket creams John wore he christened him “Cream”, a name which has stuck with him ever since.

John’s devotion to his treasury duties and to the Randwick club was acknowledged in 1975 when he received the club’s highest honour—Life Membership. It was a fitting tribute to a wonderful contributor to the Randwick Cricket Club and to one of nature’s finest gentlemen.

Leo Smith 1922-2002

eo Smith was a mysterious offspin bowler. Not that his right arm spinners were all that unconventional, but the fact he could bowl them equally well with his left arm provided the mystery. But he had not tried his lefties in a game preferring to manfully toil with right arm deliveries. t training however, he was keenly soughtafter as he could provide his batting team mates with practice against right and leftarm spinners. His ambidextrous talent caught the eye of journalists and the inimitable rnie Christensen sang his praises in an article in The Sun afternoon Sydney newspaper in 196 complete with pictures of both right and left arm bowling styles.

eo Robert Charles Smith was born at Paddington on 5 December 1922. fter his schooling at Homebush Boys High he joined Petersham prior to the start of the 19390 season. He played in the Shires and th Grade teams having one score of 29 while taking six wickets. nd while a th Grade team was not entered the following 1901 season, club selectors had the foresight to start him in 3s which proved to be a positive move in more ways than one. fter making 56 against Northern District and taking 10 in his only turn with the ball, he was promoted to 2nd Grade.

Under the shrewd captaincy of Cyril Graham in 2s, the 17 year old was regarded as the “find of the season” scoring 233 runs while surprisingly heading the bowling with 29 wickets at an average of 1.20 runs per wicket. Smith revelled in the opportunity when Graham threw him the ball against niversity where he was instrumental in an outright victory. Taking 335 and 36 the students were out for 98 and 62 in response to Petersham’s 166. That won him a place in the 1st Grade match against Waverley at Waverley Oval although his 10 runs and 025 was not a debut in keeping with his talent.

Returning to 2s he scored 67 against Glebe and was back to 1st Grade for the last round of the season against anly at Petersham Oval. nd while his 2 runs gave the selectors who picked him as a batsman some confidence, it was his bowling which created the sensation as he took 68 to have the seasiders out for 236—just 35 short of the Petersham total of 271.

It was therefore no surprise that young Smith was named in the 1st Grade starting lineup for the 1912 season. nd he delivered immediately with another “six for” performance, this time returning 683 in Paddington’s total of 207 at Rushcutters Bay. The match however, was lost by two runs. was run out for a duck. He also took 5101 against niversity which scored 282. Smith headed the bowling that season with 3 wickets, an amaing turnaround from a 16 year old who took 028 off five overs in the Petersham Shires team just two seasons earlier While eo played the full 1912 season, prior to the start was called up for “duty training” following his enlistment in the war effort. He was on active service shortly after the season finished and from September 193 served in New Guinea.

Prior to his discharge in pril 196, Smith managed to squeee in a couple of games in 1956 playing in 2nd Grade where he took five wickets and scored just 18 runs. However, he was back fulltime in 1967 although not with the same success he had prior to the war. Playing in 1st Grade he averaged 6.5 for each of his eight wickets with 238 his best while scoring 162 runs.

The 1978 season saw a slightly improved performance with 229 runs and 13 wickets which included his first (and only) half century in 1st Grade when he scored 53 in a drawn match with osman. He had a good game against Wests at Pratten Park however, hitting 2 in a losing score of 812 while taking 526 in Wests’ total of 713 declared.

t the end of that season eo moved residence to the Parramatta area and thereafter was qualified and played with Cumberland. In his time with Petersham he took 102 wickets and scored 1,089 runs of which 61 wickets and 580 runs were in 1st Grade.

eo was also a keen baseballer and played with Petersham in the cricket offseason. He would have learnt as much about baseball as he did about cricket from his 2nd Grade captain Cyril Graham who was a State and national representative pitcher.

Smith went on to have a successful Grade cricket career playing with Cumberland, Gordon and Bankstown before he retired in 1959 with 217 1st Grade wickets to his name. He died on 2 June 2002 at Bateau Bay, NSW, aged 89.

Unfortunately Russell developed a terminal illness the following year which was the direct result of his active war service etween 12 and 17. He faced that hurdle with the same rand of courage and fortitude that had enaled him to disregard a lifelong disaility which in itself had prevented his participation as an active sportsman. He died on 2 eruary 168 at the Repatriation Hospital Concord aged 60. His passing meant Petershamarricville had lost one of its most loyal sons.

CricketAGMAd A4 1602 RAN.indd 1 11/02/2016 11:49 am Our Grounds by David Bourke Assessment of grounds is undertaken by Cricket NSW each season as a means of advising clubs how well their grounds are performing as viewed by umpires. This season Coogee Oval rated 11th of out the 21 1st and 2nd grade grounds, down from the 10th position it achieved in season 2015-16. This high ranking is reflective of the grounds’ standing as one of the premier grounds in Sydney.

Petersham Oval ranked 11th out of the 40 lower grade grounds this season, down from 6th in season 2015-16. Petersham Oval also continued its advancement as a higher grade ground, hosting three 1st Grade and four 2nd Grade matches throughout the season, and has become a bit of a 1st Grade “fortress” with the side being defeated only twice there in the last four seasons. Petersham Oval was also used by Sydney University CC to host their 3rd Grade Qualifying Final and Semi Final fixtures, showing the high regard the ground is held by other clubs and NSW Premier Cricket.

Of the lower grade grounds, Kensington Oval was ranked 14th out of 40, up from 30th last season, while Snape Park was ranked 35th, down from 28th position last season.

Marrickville Oval was also used for RPC Metropolitan Cup fixtures throughout the season and the ground is currently in the process of undergoing the construction of a new grandstand, dressing rooms and amenities which will see the venue return to the standard of a few decades ago where it hosted 1st Grade fixtures.

These impressive all round results were achieved due to the great work and dedication of the Green Options staff at each ground: Damian Roser, Daniel Seminara, Kane Campbell and Dale McDonough-Kinkade at Coogee, Kensington and Snape; Matt Sommerville, Grant Anderson, Brendan Willey, Nick Cutler, Hayden Spackman and Guy Hammond at Petersham Oval; and Inner West Council - Marrickville at Marrickville Oval.

President’s Luncheon 2016

It was the Sydney cricket function of the year! A glittering new venue, a star-studded guest list and a capacity crowd of people who love their day out produced the perfect combination for a great event. And it was.

The President’s Luncheon has been the club’s premium function and fund-raiser in recent years and while it has always been a terrific occasion, this year’s was exceptional. The lavishly appointed new Doltone House inside what was the old Tattersall’s Club in Elizabeth Street, Sydney with a view over Hyde Park, was a perfect venue. Outstanding food, a huge variety of cold drinks flowing at the ready and a welcoming party of glamourous young ladies assisting in the running of the day added to the attraction. MC Graeme Hughes with special guest

President Mike Whitney offered a heartfelt welcome to everyone and particularly to the many special guests in attendance while noting the long distances many people had travelled to be with us. He also made a glowing reference to the many sponsors of the club thanking them for their involvement and generosity while emphasising their importance to our functioning and success as a community-based sporting organisation.

Master of Ceremonies for the day was again Graeme Hughes who was joined on stage by two South Sydney rugby league stars, John Sutton and Adam Reynolds who provided an interesting insight into “the Bunnies” chances next season. They were followed by Sydney’s top funny-man Vince Sorrenti, who “laid ’em in the aisles” with his views on current affairs and fixing the Australian cricket team’s problems!

Vince Sorrenti The star attraction of the day was former Australian Cricket captain Steve Waugh. In an interview-style presentation with Graeme Hughes, Steve had the large gathering enthralled in recanting his memories of one of cricket’s greatest careers. Many of his special moments were captured on film and replayed on the big screens around the room to the delight of all. It was a special presentation by one of Australia’s special cricketers. Adam Reynolds, Mike Whitney and John Sutton With a select number of outstanding auction items, the lunch continued well into the afternoon to the call of auctioneer Steve Smith as he found a new home for the many treasures on offer. Steve also did a great job catching all the action on camera throughout the day as did Peter Bannigan. We are fortunate to have two outstanding photographers assisting the club.

Attendance totalled 310 which was over 100 more than previous years. It was a brilliant function and the organisers Chris Sullivan, John Stewart and the Event Management team of Graeme and Narelle Hughes could be pleased with their efforts in pulling together such an impressive event. The assistance provided by Mike Whitney, Neale Anderson, Carmel Soames, Robin Gardner and James Tyson added to the success. The good thing of course, is that it will be on again next year. No doubt those who rolled up last Friday will be keen to do it again in 2017. And if you want a tip--book early! The crowd of 310 enjoying the show! Photos by Peter Bannigan

94 Randwick Petersham 16th Annual Report 2016 - 17 Social

As in the previous 16 seasons a squad of 15 players ventured north for our annual trial at Lynne Oval Stockton. While cricket is the most important item on the agenda, the weekend also allows for new and current players to mix both on and off the field. This has always been a valuable weekend in the scheme of pre-season preparation and our thanks go to all at Stockton Raymond Terrace Cricket Club, in particular their tireless working President Ron Hancock. Along with his many helpers Ron always ensures Lynne Oval is an absolute treat and the atmosphere at the nearby George Washington Hotel is warm and friendly.

The Season Launch was held in the magnificent Showroom of our sponsor and great friend Sydney City Toyota Glebe. A good roll up from players, officials, sponsors and community representatives along with a smooth performance from MC Karl Schubert and support from our Sponsorship Committee especially Neale Anderson, Carmel Soames, Roy Kowarski, Nigil Singh and John Stewart who ensured there was plenty of pizza and wine to go around during the night. Once again many thanks to SCT Glebe for allowing us to hold this event in their classy showroom.

Ladies Day was held at Coogee Oval during a T20 double header against Manly and Illawarra. While numbers were slightly down on previous seasons, a good day was had by all who attended. Special thanks to those who contributed to the day in particular to Danny Fitzgerald and his team at Petersham RSL who ensured the ladies were well hydrated all day with the generous donation of sparkling wine.

The strength of the partnership between RPC and Randwick Rugby Club is growing to the point that this year a T20 game between the two clubs took place at Coogee Oval. A Mike Whitney team took on a team and had it not have been for the hardworking efforts of Green Options in the wet conditions, particularly Dale McDonough, the game may not have got underway. The Mike Whitney team achieved victory in this inaugural match. Our thanks to all at Randwick Rugby Club for their support especially President Simon Poidevin and Director of Rugby Nick Ryan who was the “brains” behind the event. Photo: The captains Simon Poidevin and Mike Whitney

The Annual Christmas "get together" was held at the home of one of our sponsors Randwick Bowling Club. Good food and drinks ensured a pleasant evening was had by all who attended. A big thank you to the Executive of RBC for allowing Randwick Petersham Cricket to host this event at a busy time of year.

The season’s "post mortem" (except for 5ths and Metro Gold) was held at Coogee Oval at the conclusion of Round 15 where players and officials mixed and reflected on the season. A good evening was had by all and the mighty 5th Grade led by Nigil Singh would go on to claim the Dave Sherwood Cup. Hopefully we can add some extra silverware to the cabinet next season!!!!

A Taste of Coogee at Coogee Oval The Taste of Coogee Food and Wine Festival was held at Coogee Oval over the weekend of 3-4 September 2016. The event attracted many thousands of people with more than 100 stalls showcasing some of Sydney’s best restaurants and quality food providers. A number of master chefs from well-known food establishments and hotels also attended. Tastings of award winning wines and ciders from all around the country added to the occasion. President Mike Whitney jumped on stage and belted out a couple of popular numbers with the band while the children were entertained with a host of activities in what was a memorable week-end. Proceeds of the day were donated to Coogee Lions who do such a great job in helping families in need.

97 Obituary It is with regret we record the passing of the following people associated with the club since the publication of the 2015-16 Annual Report.

 Jim Burgess—died 2 July 2016 aged 87 years Jim Burgess was an excellent fast bowler who played with Randwick between 1950 and 1957. In that time he took 239 wickets for the club at the remarkable average of 15.02. Of those, 44 were in 1st Grade, 144 in 2nd’s and 51 in 3rd Grade. In his first season he played 3rd Grade taking 51 wickets at just 8.68 runs apiece. He made his 1st Grade debut in 1953-54 taking 6-45 off 12 overs against Mosman. His wickets that day included the Australian Test captain and NSW legend Ken Gulliver. Jim was also a keen and enthusiastic member of the RPC “Legends”.

 David Staunton—died 22 August 2016 aged 44 years David was the elder son of life member and former Petersham-Marrickville 1st Grade player and President, Alan Staunton. Alan’s younger sons Paul, Chris and Andrew all played for Petersham-Marrickville while Paul was a member of the first Randwick Petersham 1st Grade team. David was just 44 years of age.

 Laura Hinds—died 26 September 2016 aged 25 years Laura was the daughter of Randwick Petersham life member and legend Denis Hinds. She had spent over four years battling cancer and other associated complications. Denis has been involved with Randwick and Randwick Petersham Cricket since 1985 and was made a life member in 2006 for his contribution to the club as a player and mentor to many promising young cricketers.

 Laurie Heil—died 8 December 2016 aged 77 years Laurie Heil was the man behind the idea that the Randwick and Petersham- Marrickville clubs should merge. In the year 2000 Laurie was in his third term as CEO of the old Randwick club and was heavily involved in the battle to save the club which looked like being axed under the NSW Cricket Association proposal to reduce the number of clubs. He came up with the plan to head off extinction by merging with Petersham-Marrickville which was also under threat. A bold suggestion, but with 16 years hindsight, one which proved to be a stroke of genius.

Originally a policeman from Western Australia, Laurie had a great interest in cricket and was involved with the start-up of the Sydney Coastal Cricket Club in 1991 where he went on to coach both David Warner and Usman Khawaja as juniors. He then took over as Hon Secretary of the South Eastern Junior Cricket Association before heeding the call from Randwick in 1998 to join the club as its CEO.

During his three years in that role he was instrumental in the success of the Randwick Centenary celebrations as well as suggesting the creation of a formal supporters group. That was the start of what is now known as the Randwick Petersham “Legends”. Laurie was its first Hon Secretary, a role he also performed on the Centenary Celebrations Sub-Committee.

When the merger eventuated, it was no surprise that Laurie Heil was installed as Randwick Petersham’s first CEO in 2001-02. However, a workload which required his presence interstate for lengthy periods restricted his ability to perform the role to the high standard he had established and he was forced to stand down and sever his administration links after that first season.

Laurie remained a keen supporter of the club and a member of the Legends for a number of years before he moved away from Sydney to Lake Heights on the South Coast near Shellharbour where he remained until his passing. He continued his association with cricket in the Illawarra area and this season, as he had been for the past three summers, was both the senior and junior coach of the Northern Districts Cricket Club at Woonona. An enthusiastic worker for cricket, Randwick Petersham owes him a great debt of gratitude for his foresight and imagination. The success of Randwick Petersham Cricket is testimony to his innovation and dedication.

The Legends 2016-17 The Randwick Petersham Cricket Legends Society

For the fourth successive year our membership exceeded the century mark with a total of 104 financial and honorary members during the course of the year. We were saddened however, by the passing of senior member Bryan Hazell who had been living in Burleigh Heads. Bryan started his career with Petersham in 1942. We also farewelled former Legends Jim Burgess a Randwick pace bowler in the 1950s along with Laurie Heil, Randwick Petersham’s first CEO and the man who suggested the merger in 2001 and was behind the creation of “The Legends”. We were also saddened by the passing of Laura Hinds, the 25 year old daughter of Legend Denis Hinds emphasising the devastation of cancer. The Obituary section of this report contains further details.

On the brighter side we welcomed new members in Gary Mathew, a dashing opening bat in Randwick’s golden 1980s winning two 1st Grade premierships, former Petersham-Marrickville 1st grader Shane Penson and Randwick Petersham’s eight term CEO David Holland. We also granted honorary membership to Randwick ex-1st grader Eddie Jones who returned to Coogee Oval last year as coach of the England Rugby Union team which defeated the Wallabies. These days Eddie is one of the world’s top rugby coaches.

Unfortunately our main function and fundraiser, the “Phil Tresidder Memorial Cup” Golf Day was not held this year due to falling support in recent years. It was thought a Sunday may have been a better day to hold the event but after a great deal of enquiry, a suitable course at a suitable time could not be identified. The result is that a booking has been made to stage the event next season on Friday 20 October 2017. We hope interest will be renewed and we get a good roll-up as it has been an excellent event in the past.

In terms of the Society's finances, this year we finished $29.18 in front despite the absence of any fund-raiser. Income was made up of member subscriptions of $1,850 and bank interest of $334.18- a total of $2,184.18. Expenditure of $2,155 included $1,950 being the cost of framed team photos presented to last season’s successful 1st Grade T20 Premiership team, $80 for a Legends flag and some minor Museum costs while we also made a donation of $150 to a Sarcoma Study Group in honour of the late Laura Hinds. We have a 2017-18 commitment for 15 framed photos of this season’s successful 5th Grade Premiership team. Legends at the President's Lunch 2016 At 30 April 2017 the net bank balance of Randwick Petersham Cricket Legends Society was a healthy $2,736.83 which, together with a term deposit of $13,500, shirt stock of $386.10 and a $200 deposit for next season’s golf day gives us assets of $16,822.93. The committee again comprised Lyall Gardner (Chairman), John Pearson, Shane Redenbach, Bill Anderson, Ray Stafford and Ross Davies.

100 Randwick Petersham 16th Annual Report 2016 - 17

The Phil Tresidder Memorial Scholarship

Phil Tresidder was a wonderful supporter of cricket and the Randwick and Randwick Petersham clubs. During his lifetime he was probably the best known sports writer in the country through his association with the Daily Telegraph. As President of Randwick he was committed to the merger with Petersham-Marrickville in 2001 and it was a fitting tribute to his dedication to that cause that he was installed Joint Patron with Noel Hughes following the birth of Randwick Petersham. Sadly, he passed away in late 2003 aged 75.

Phil had a good eye for cricketing talent and on many occasions personally funded many young cricketers on overseas trips to assist them in the development of their game. He was of the view that the experience gained from playing in different and varying conditions was invaluable in the enhancement of young skills in challenging situations and environments. It was in this knowledge that Phil’s family included in his funeral notice in the Sydney press a request that in lieu of flowers a contribution be made towards a fund to be established to assist young club cricketers with their costs in playing overseas.

With such contributions and certain generous donations from the Tresidder family coupled with the proceeds of the Phil Tresidder Memorial Golf Day over the past 13 years, the Phil Tresidder Memorial Scholarship began operation four seasons ago. It now has a capital fund of $42,367. The income from this fund is used to fund a scholarship. Nick Charlwood, Shaun Eaton, Brandon McLean, Anthony Sams, Jack Preddey and Jake Scicluna have been recipients of a scholarship. This year a scholarship was initially awarded to James Psarakis but subsequently withdrawn when he advised he was to leave the club to join Western Suburbs next season. As could be expected, it is a condition of the scholarship that recipients play the season following with Randwick Petersham.

Randwick Petersham Cricket Foundation The Randwick Petersham Cricket Foundation was established on 15 April 2003 following the receipt of a generous legacy of $200,000 left to the club by the late Wally South, a former player and patron of the old Randwick Cricket Club. To ensure this legacy would secure Randwick Petersham’s financial future and ongoing viability, the then Management Committee decided to transfer it to a separate fund controlled by an independent trustee set up to manage the donation along with any other monies which may be contributed to the fund from time to time.

Pursuant to that objective, the Foundation was created under the management of a trustee company controlled by a number of directors. The current directors are Peter Wright (Chairman), club President Mike Whitney and long established “legends” of the club Alan Turner, John Pearson, Lyall Gardner and Wayne Mulherin. Lyall Gardner also acts as the trustee secretary. A youthful Wally South in the 1930s Responsibility for investing the funds of the Foundation rests with the trustee company directors who also have absolute discretion in determining the extent of any payment. The purpose of the trust is expressed in the Trust Deed as being to hold the capital and income in perpetuity for the promotion and encouragement of the game of cricket at the Randwick Petersham Cricket Club. Since the establishment of the Foundation the capital and undistributed income has grown to more than $265,000. All funds are held on interest bearing bank deposit or in bank accounts. The club’s sponsor Bendigo Bank is a principal banker of the Foundation.

Over the 14 years life of the Foundation, the trustees have exercised their discretion in the distribution of income on a number of occasions and have paid a total of $132,445.45 to Randwick Petersham Cricket.

The Randwick Petersham Cricket Foundation is dedicated to the continuation of the club as a major force in Sydney Grade Cricket. While we are extremely grateful to Wally South for his foresight, we are mindful of the need to ensure the capital of the Foundation grows as the years roll by. We therefore welcome any donations from friends of Randwick Petersham Cricket.

Coaching Report by Greg Small, Head Coach

The 2016-17 season once again centered on the development of succession plans to build longer term depth across all grades and for there to be less reliance on individuals. This being the case and moving forward our performances across all levels should and will improve.

Obviously, there were stand out performances during the season. 5th Grade winning their respective competition, Metro Gold reaching the Semi Finals and 1st Grade playing finals cricket in the One Day competition. Setting our sights on the coming season, there are expectations that every grade will be playing finals cricket.

To those players who bought into the coaching structure and worked hard across all levels, a very big thank you. The contribution and efforts of the coaching staff should also be highlighted.

As a club, we are in a fantastic position with our junior development and a reflection of this is the achievement of our 5th Grade team. With respect to our Poidevin Gray side, we thank the guys who represented the club. PG’s presents an opportunity to those players coming through the grades. It is a great chance for our younger players to showcase their skills, probably a year or two earlier than they would anticipate, by playing against current 1st Grade or NSW 2nd XI players.

I would like to take the opportunity to thank the club captains and coaching staff which this season included Assistant Coach Simon Gould along with specialist coaches, David Skuthorpe, Alex Kemp, Nick Warren, Anthony Sams, fitness mentor Daniel Sams and Net Captain Stan Beal. To our captains Alex Kemp, Tom Holland, Rod Stafford, David Bourke, Nigil Singh, John Stewart and Alexis Coovre, thanks for your efforts throughout the season and for leading your teams well both on and off the field.

Special mention must also go to all members of the club’s Executive Committee, including President Mike Whitney, CEO David Holland and Chairman of Selectors Alan Wright. Thank you for your efforts and support throughout the season. It is very much appreciated.

To our club’s 5th Grade side, “well done” on winning the Grand Final. Playing with a team that consisted of so many younger players, it augers well for the coming season and beyond. The side was well led by NigIl Singh and supported by every member of the team who had the chance to play under NigIl throughout the season. To John Stewart and Jeremy Jastrzab your efforts with our Metropolitan Cup squads this season was amazing. Thank you for your support. Jeremy and John make a formidable team.

Several individuals stood up this year and were rewarded with representative honors at various levels. Others improved their performance levels from previous seasons, which is all you can ask. On our day, every grade is capable of beating the opposition as we proved this season. We need to be more consistent with our performances. Achieving results in cricket is a direct result of the commitment, work ethic and attitude players bring to the season. All players must come together in our next pre-season and do the hard work that will be required to maintain the club’s push to be the very best in Sydney Premier Cricket.

As we said last season a key effort to achieving our club’s goals will again be to build a core base across the grades with younger cricketers and then add depth and knowledge to our teams moving into the 2017-18 season. We must maintain our strong culture by driving discipline and dedication to every aspect of our game including training. And not be afraid to make mistakes and to learn from everything we do as individuals, team and club.

To the clubs’ many volunteers, scorers, parents and supporters I would like to say thank you for all your help across the grades and special thanks to David Bourke for his work on the communication strategy for the club.

To Bill Anderson and Peter Devlin, your friendship and support throughout the season is always very much appreciated. As a club we are lucky to have your experience and knowledge across not only cricket, but sport in general. The opportunity to work with you both is very special and I look forward to doing it all again next season. A big thank you.

We must continue to achieve as individuals and most importantly as a club, to learn lessons from the past and look to the future with anticipation and expectation.

Finally, to the players and those outside this group who have supported Assistant Coach Simon Gould and me – Thank You.

102 Randwick Petersham 16th Annual Report 2016 - 17 Junior Development Report By Eddie Otto

Randwick Petersham players and coaches were engaged this season in the area of Junior Development. The goal once more was to tap into our vast junior areas covering the Inner West and South East by providing some of our coaches and players to improve skills and teamwork and help build links with junior clubs and schools.

A number of players and coaches in our Club, once again were fantastic in giving up their time to help in providing assistance throughout another season. David Skuthorpe was once again superb with his involvement with the Marrickville Cricket Club as well as the Canterbury Wests under 13s Rep team that made the semi-finals. Simon Gould was heavily involved in helping the Ashfield Cricket Club and brought a number of the talented players in their Club to our A W Green Shield trials. Our Head Coach Greg Small, has recently taken over as co-ordinator of the Canterbury-Wests Junior Rep Program and will be doing a number of sessions with their Academy throughout the pre-season.

Glen Standing, a tireless contributor to South Eastern Junior Cricket Association over the years, helped coordinate their Junior Rep program with Rehaan Nawaz and Jaya Murdita both coaching different South Eastern Rep sides throughout the season.

At the SCG Indoor Centre, Eddie Otto, Rehaan Nawaz and Max Moran were involved in plenty of one-on-one coaching with boys from a number of schools, including players from Cranbrook, Scots College, Waverley College, Coogee Public, Randwick Boys and a number of other schools in the area.

The very successful Steve Waugh Academy was launched last season and included more camps at Snape Park. The Club’s Head Coach Greg Small played a huge role in these camps and the outstanding number of players that attended the January camp was a testament to his hard work. Simon Gould and Alex Kemp were also heavily involved in the successful running of these camps, which used our Club’s facilities and helped promote cricket in our area.

Marrickville Cricket Club by Antony Sachs, President It was the best of seasons, it was the wettest of season….plenty of good cricket, but too much rain for my liking. Over 500 cricketers played with MCC this season – enjoying our great game across fields (and puddles) of the Inner West. We’re a strong club with good links to our local community. We have a great relationship with our local senior grade clubs Randwick Petersham CC and University Women’s CC. And MCC is fortunate to have two generous, solid sponsors in Sydney Airport and Canterbury Hurlstone Park RSL. We are grateful for their ongoing support.

We had 25 teams in CWSCA and Sydney Thunder Girls comps, which is more than double the number of teams we had six years ago. We now have a record seven u9 teams, with 80% of players coming from Milo or T20. Added to that, we had 120 Milo cricketers at Tempe and at our new centre in Erskineville and 90 T20 blasters.

That’s 25 teams and three large junior programs being run by volunteers – training, co-ordinating and managing. You guys are the arteries of our wonderful community club.

Congratulations to our one Premiership winning team – James Owens’ mighty u12 Simpson, who won second division in style. For many other teams, it was a tale of what could have been … u14’s lost the Final and five teams lost in washed out semis. Congrats to all MCC players in CWSCA Rep teams and special commendation to the five MCC players chosen in Cricket NSW Academy squads: Emmanuel Grogan, Darcy Mooney and Reuben Sachs in the U14 squad, Harry Brooks in the U15 squad, and Nivi Radhakrishnan promoted up the order to the u16 squad.

I salute MCC players Emmanuel Grogan and Nivi Radhakrishnan – NSWDCA players of the Gee Shield and Moore Shield competitions. What a huge honour for the players, their families and our Club.

MCC and Marrickville Council helped 16 parents get Level 1 Coaching Certificates – an investment in player, team and coach confidence.

Girls cricket is moving forward at MCC – with programs now in place for girls from ages 5 in Milo cricket, through club teams all the way to u15 Rep teams and connections to Grade through the University Women’s CC.

We hope to see all players, parents and friends back for the 2017-18 season.

by Eddie Otto Academy Head Coach

The U21 Randwick Petersham Academy was an 8-week program starting in early July and running through until the end of August 2016. The great thing about this season's Academy was that it was open to all of the Club’s players who were under 21 years of age resulting in over 50 players from 1st Grade to Metropolitan Cup and Green Shield attending at various times. The main goal was for players to work with our specialist coaches to improve things they wanted to address in their own game in terms of skill development.

This year's Academy took place on eight consecutive Monday nights at the SCG Indoor Centre. We wanted to be as inclusive as possible to help build stronger morale and unity around the Club from top to bottom. We also had a strong focus on developing our young players further, which would hopefully build on some of the good results we had in Green Shield, PG’s and Grade comps last season. A conscious decision was made to involve mostly our own coaches, rather than predominantly coaches from other clubs as in previous seasons. This would allow for greater communication and ongoing coaching throughout the season in terms of skill development and engagement with our players.

The Academy serves a number of purposes and is a great way to integrate some of the Club’s new players into our system. It was also a good opportunity, in particular for the boys who go to private schools to train more consistently with the Club and build better links with our regular players and coaches, given they are unavailable for large chunks of the season with their school cricket. It also gave the lower graders and younger players in our groups the chance to learn from and experience training with some of the more established players and push their own cause in front of selectors during the pre-season.

Coming on board once again as specialist coaches were 1st Grade Captain and opening batsman Alex Kemp (batting). Alex had already built a strong rapport with some of our lower grade batsman through one-on-one sessions the previous 18 months. With his State Cricket experience and being a key member of our 1st Grade team, it was great to have Alex for six sessions working on batting technique, mindset and different drills.

We were also able to use Club Bowling Coach, Nick Warren, as our fast bowling coach. Nick had been a fantastic swing bowler for the 1st Grade team for many years and showed this once again in a few cameo performances this season. His experience and knowledge on how to utilise the new ball especially was a real eye opener for our young brigade of quicks. Nick attended five sessions and continued to work throughout the year with our fast bowlers.

The only coach we called upon from outside our system was Anthony Clark, the long term 1st Grade Captain at Fairfield-Liverpool and current coach at Cricket NSW in all their pathways programs. Anthony is highly respected by everyone and has now worked with our young spinners for the past three pre-seasons. Anthony was able to work on a variety of skills including bowling actions, game plans, field setting, use of the crease and flight and grip variations, all of which are crucial for any young spinner. He also went out of his way to talk to some of our batsmen about different approaches to facing spin bowling, which made for some real competitive net sessions.

Also coming on board this season was the experienced Glen Standing who had assumed a coaching role within our Club after playing a significant role in bringing on a young 5th Grade side the previous season. Glen has been a fantastic coach in the local area, running the SEJCA Junior Rep teams and coaching a number of their representative sides over the years. Glen worked with a number of our younger players on both batting and bowling and has recently been appointed as Head Coach of our A W Green Shield squad heading into next season.

Once again the Academy was free of charge for all players. A big thank you to Bill Anderson, our Committee, and Club Sponsor Aden Nawaz for investing some of the Club’s resources into our Academy. Hopefully the results are starting to pay dividends with 5th Grade, containing a number of our younger players, winning the Premiership last season. However, we all need to accept that 11th in the Club Championship is not where we want to be. The Academy won't be run in its current format again next season as we felt the July start was too early and left some players burnt out leading into the final couple of months of the season. Instead, the Club will be looking to run a pathways program from August and throughout the season for some of our best young players.

106 Randwick Petersham 16th Annual Report 2016 - 17

A Brush with Fame: Helping the “The Don” get started

One of Randwick Petersham’s claims to fame in terms of the life and times of Sir Donald Bradman was that his 1st Grade debut and his first 1st Grade century occurred at Petersham Oval. The date was 27 November 1926 and “The Don” rattled up 110 before being run out in a St George total of 689 declared. e and larrie Targett 150 not out put on 197 for the fifth wicket.

The Petersham attack was uite a good one that day with NS opening bowler Sam verett supported by Sydney ing who went on to play rugby union for Australia alongside yril Towers, the father of Randwick 1st Grade fast bowler Tim Towers. Also part of the attack was Petersham’s greatest cricketer Tommy Andrews who played 16 Test matches and 151 firstclass games. Tommy got “carted” taking 095 off ust 8 overs in the innings with his rightarm legbreaks. But despite the significance of The Don’s first 1st Grade century, a leading sporting newspaper next day carried the headline “Petersham Fails”.

And while this historic Bradman batting feat is recorded on a commemorative plaue at Petersham Oval, this was not the only occasion Randwick Petersham through its founding clubs, hosted Australia’s greatest batsman.

Almost five years earlier the 1 years old Donald was a member of a Bowral team which ventured to Marrickville Oval for a “friendly” match against a Marrickville XI which was playing its first season in the 1st Grade competition. The date was 26 January 1922—Australia Day. Don was listed no. 12 in the Bowral XII but did not bat in the first innings. There is every possibility that he was the team scorer.

owever, after Marrickville had bowled out Bowral for ust 15, the home team knocked up 15. This allowed Bowral to bat again providing young Donald the opportunity to go in at the fall of the sixth wicket. At the end of play the score sheet showed the visitors 7 wickets for 148 with “DG Bradman not out 22.” It may therefore be argued that not only was Randwick Petersham, through the Petersham club linked to Don Bradman’s 1st Grade debut and his first 1st Grade century but through the Marrickville club it also played host to his first game of cricket in Sydney

And to complete the full picture of our founding clubs’ association with the Don Bradman phenomenon, the St George highest score record was set by the champion batsman twice against Randwick. In 19290 the 20 year old hit 187 at Sydney ricket Ground no. 1 and two seasons later passed that mark on 10 October 191 when he hit 246 in 20 minutes with 25 fours and one six at oogee Oval. That score remains the St George record to the present day.

‘Til cricket do us part…………… The following appeared in an nglish newspaper a few years ago.

Housewife Mildred Rowley carried off of her broken marriage yesterday after telling a judge how she lost her husband to the other love of his life—cricket. She was granted a decree nisi against husband Mike after she cited his local cricket club as the other woman that broke up their 17 year marriage. Mildred’s patience was put to the test when 46 year old Mike spent all his spare time down at the local cricket ground. “He is totally obsessed with that cricket club” Mildred claimed. “He can tell you who scored what in any match in cricket history, it seems, and can even tell you what the weather was like at the time. But he could not remember my birthday” Mildred said. The marriage was really hit for six when Mike started sleeping in the cricket pavilion instead of at home with Mildred. “Cricket is the only life for me and I don’t blame Mildred for what she has done” Mike confessed. He is now living full-time next to the bats, balls and stumps in the pavilion at Stourbridge Cricket Club, West Midlands where he has kept the score for the past 21 years. He sent his apologies for not attending the uncontested divorce hearing. He was in Devon—on a cricket tour.

110 Randwick Petersham 16th Annual Report 2016 - 17 Report from the Financial Controller

As expected, interest rates remained at record lows during the past year. As well as reducing income streams through interest and the RPCC Foundation, this is also indicative of a low investment economy which means finding sponsorship and marketing income remains challenging. The club remains committed to exploring ongoing opportunities to create partnerships with businesses that see value in connecting with us.

In addition, there has been a gradual change in the status of grade cricket, and as the competition becomes more professional, so does the way in which clubs manage their player base. The club introduced an incentive program for first grade for this season, and it is likely that this will be a recurring increase in the club’s expense base over the coming years. The decision to introduce this scheme was not taken lightly, as it has created a deficit for the first time in a few years. The committee will need to maintain a prudent budget for the 2017-18 season and ensure that it matches its expenditures with revenue streams that are sufficient and reliable.

The big highlight for the season was the President’s Luncheon – this year the club realised the potential of this event and invested more towards creating a day that brought a wider range of attendees from social and corporate connections. If we are to return to surplus next year, we need to maintain the momentum of this event and find more creative ways to leverage the club’s brand to add to our revenue streams.
