Annual 2018 / 2019 Report ANNUAL 2018 / 2019 REPORT Page 1 of 55 PRESIDENT’S REPORT Season 2018/2019 saw St Pats field 4 Master Blaster teams, 13 junior teams and 10 senior teams. Collectively this represents nearly 450 players in the Club. There were further changes to both junior and seniors’ formats. One would say with mixed results. The Club will continue to work with both Associations to ensure that the game remains appealing to all ages and skill level. Whilst each junior team had a coach and manager this season and each senior team had a manager, the Club desperately needs more people to join the committee to assist with either the Master Blaster, Juniors or Seniors programs. We also want to explore the feasibility of improving the net facility with steps from the carpark and general improvement to seating and access. However, we need people to assist in getting quotes, grants etc. The Club was again supported by our friends at the Tradies and we thank them for their continued support. Adam Young Hope everyone enjoys their winter activities and look forward to seeing you back with St Pats in the 2019/2020 season. Page 2 of 55 TREASURER REPORT 2018 / 2019 St. Patrick’s Cricket Club remains in a strong financial position after the 2018-19 season with a season profit of just under $9,000.00, this is a very good result with increases in registration & shirt sale on the Income side, on expenditure side, Association fees increased but we didn’t buy any shirts (saving of $9,900.00 on previous year) Unfortunately we have no “Premiership Team expenses” this year, so the only outstanding amounts that will come into next years expenses are AGM & Annual report expenses. Both income & expenditure are down this season due to decreases in seniors, girls & junior teams. Balance at 16th April 2018: $40,359.88 Income & Expenditure are detailed below – included are figures for 2017-18 for comparison: INCOME ITEM 2018-19 2017-18 Registration and Player Fees 38,147.86 32,961.43 Sponsorship 5,300.00 5,300.00 Donation nil nil Sales of Shirts and Caps 3,535.00 2,377.50 Interest nil nil Social income nil nil Income Sydney 6’s & Green & Gold & Misc nil nil Player contribution to Jackets/caps nil Bingo Night nil nil School Clinics nil nil 20/20 Gala day nil nil Sundries/misc nil TOTAL $46,982.86 $40,638.93 EXPENDITURE ITEM 2018-19 2017-18 Umpire Fees (juniors) $1,235.00-$905.72 rebate 329.28 483.77 Trophies 3,206.18 2,825.70 Presentation Day expenses 2017/18 plus 2018/19 1,534.13 3,189.74 Annual report expenses (previous year) 493.90 nil Association Fees/Match Fees, Junior & senior 15,317.50 10,791.25 Equipment & Balls (Balls $11,076.60 Equ $746.60) 11,825.20 9081.20 Shirts, Caps and Badges nil 9,927.50 Jackets & Premiership Caps (previous year) 1,760.00 1,892.00 Electricity (including Waratah Oval lights) nil nil Long Service players bags (previous years) nil nil Advertising plus fliers 431.00 nil Postage/Stationary & PO box 130.00 127.00 Lockup & G1 Keys 58.00 nil Dept. of fair trading 45.00 71.00 Misc,(Bowling machine repairs/Domain/Chalk ) 187.57 nil Bank Fees 135.00 120.00 Refunds 80.00 480.00 60 year celebrations (17/18 season) 2,783.65 nil TOTAL $38,316.41 $38,989.16 Balance at 16th April 2019: $49,083.60 Made up of Main Business Account $33,626.00 Plus Online savings account $15,457.60 (incl $68.27 Interest Less $10.00 Fees) Warren Daley, Treasurer.

Jim Lynch was instrumental in making St Pats what it is today. Jim was passionate about junior cricket in the Shire and was not only life member of St Pats, he was life member of SSJCA and Patron and Life member of the Umpires Association. Jim had attended the last 47 junior presentation days. From St Patrick's 50th year book Jim Lynch moved from committeeman to become the 6th chairman of St. Patrick's boys' cricket for the 1976/77 season. We are all aware that in any group, there are mixtures of the individual personalities including the straight-man. For those of us involved in cricket in the Sutherland Shire, let there be no doubt, Jim is the straight-man. What you see is what you get, it's straight down the line. No ifs or buts, just a fair dinkum approach to the matters at hand. For some 37 years now, Jim has been extremely hard working, uncompromising, a stickler for the rules and regulations at hand, whether it be our St. Pats Club; the Association (boys or men), umpires, coaching or managing teams. During his 2 terms as cricket Chairman, 1976/77 to 1977/78 and then again in 1982/83, 41 teams with 467 players played in our club teams. So good was Jim as a club administrator, that the boy's Association Secretary head hunted Jim to become Assistant Secretary. In addition to his club duties, you can measure his capacity to work hard for boy cricketers in the shire as he combined Association commitments as well. After 2 years in that Association role, Jim accepted the role of Competition Secretary. His involvement covered 2 periods, 1977/78 to 1981/82 (5 years) and 3 more years from 1985/86 to 1987/88. The workload in this role was almost equal to the Secretary’s role, lots of time involved, great attention to detail, accurate recording and those involved had to toe the line. Following his decision to ease back, i.e. no official role in club or Association, Jim moved into the umpires ranks. A thankless role at the best of times but befitting a person like Jim. As we know, he's tough when the going gets tough. Life Memberships to the Boys Association in 1981 and to St. Patrick's Cricket Club are recognition of the wonderful contribution made by one Jim Lynch. Jim was awarded the Australia 2000 Sports Medal for services to Cricket in 2000. Could the game of cricket ever repay people of Jim's calibre...NEVER! Page 5 of 55 Cricketer of the Year - AUSTIN HEWETT r of the / 2017 The Senior Cricketer of the Year award is presented to an Under 16 player who has played with St Patricks Cricket Club for at least 3 seasons and is based on a combination of performance, contribution to the team, the Club and who abides by the Spirit of Cricket. Over the years the award has been presented to 16A player however an exception was made with this years recipient. Austin Hewitt accomplishment with the bat this season was simply amazing: - Batting aggregate of 689 which is the highest by a 16B player by more than 150 runs and was only 79 runs short of the all time record held by Kevin Tuite in 1981/82 season Page 6 of 55 Batting average of 114.8 which is also a record for a U16 player in any grade for the Club Highest score of 165 not out highest for a U16B player Scored 4 centuries in one season – equal highest with Kevin Tuite and is only the 3rd time in the history of the club that one player has scored 3 or more centuries in a season. Not bad for a boy who only scored 101 runs at an average of 12 in the previous season. It was not only is performance with the bat that Austin made a contribution. As captain of the 16B team he led the team with enthusiasm both on the field and at training. His captaincy was astute and the way he made changes to bowling attack, field placements also contributed to the success on the field with the 16B finishing minor premiers. Despite his own personal success Austin never lost sight of the importance of playing cricket in the right spirit. He led by example often shaking the opposition batsman hand upon dismissal especially when they had performed well. He was always polite and courteous to the game officials, opposition captain and coaching staff. Austin has one more season of junior cricket and we wish him all the best next season and beyond. Page 7 of 55 Junior Cricketer of the Year - NICHOLAS PALERMO There is no doubting Nicholas (Nick) Palermo’s passion for the game of cricket or the high standards he sets for himself each season. Nick commenced playing for St Pats in season 2012/13 in the under 8’s. He quickly developed a liking for batting with shots square of the wicket and driving through the covers. He also loved challenging the fielders, taking quick singles with his then batting partner Jeremy Benjamin. At this time, he also developed an early understanding of the value of being able to contribute to the team holistically with bowling economically and being sharp in the field.

  • In Packer's Shadow: Children-Controlled Cricket Matches
    In Packer’s Shadow: Children-controlled Cricket Matches of the Early- 1980s (a Western Australian example) By Kieran James Introduction Children’s rights remains an important topic in the modern day. It was distressing to see children’s rights being dismissed as soon as the Covid-19 lockdown was put into place by the British and Scottish governments in March 2020. Lip-service was paid to children’s rights for several decades’ right up until a perceived crisis occurred and then they were immediately forgotten in the name of a “public health” “pandemic.” Children were not asked their opinions on the lockdown or issues such as whether schools should be closed and exams cancelled. It was not even part of the discourse of the possible. In this new environment, a 16- or 17-year-old had as much influence and voice as a 5-year-old, i.e. absolutely zero. In Scotland, where I live today, the adults abandoned the town-centers as soon as lockdown hit. Then an unexpected new sight emerged of groups of teenagers riding around the streets on bicycles – if the adults didn’t want the town-centers then the children would take them! I was delighted to see this happen - it was their subversive protest against their own alienation. In this article I re-examine the issue of children’s control of children’s sport versus adult-control of children’s sport through a detailed study of some unique and interesting primary data from Perth, Australia, 1979-81. This primary data, derived from my own notes and documents that I wrote at the time, is a summary of the lead-up to and the first-innings of the first cricket match in a three-match series, organized by Stanley Erskine (name changed) and me, the captains of two 11-player teams of 11-year-olds.

  • Kingston Saints
    Kingston Saints Affiliated with V.S.D.C.A. & C.M.C.A Kingston Saints is the playing name of the St. John Vianneys – St. Bede’s Old Collegians Cricket Club Inc. Celebrating 50 years of Cricket St. John Vianneys - St. Bede’s Old Collegians Cricket Club Inc. 50th Anniversary souvenir booklet 1961/62 to 2010/2011 1 Introduction St. John Vianney’s – St. Bede’s Old Collegians Cricket Club Inc. (St. John’s – St. Bede’s C.C.) was established in 1994 after the amalgamation of two clubs (St John Vianney’s Cricket Club and St Bede’s Old Collegians Cricket Club). These clubs were established in their own right in 1974 and 1961 respectively. Up until 1994 both clubs were affiliated with the F.D.C.A. in the Turf, Matting and Junior competitions. Both clubs were in the first grade turf competition but seeking better future options, voted to move to VTCA in 1994-95. Both clubs considered an amalgamation as a means of forming a strong local club ensuring future existence and growth. Since the amalgamation the Club joined the VTCA in 1994-95 season with the first eleven commencing its involvement in the South B1 division and in the following years progressed to the highest division available within the VTCA (Senior). In 2003 the club was accepted into the Victorian Sub District Cricket Association where it is looking forward to a long association. Kingston Saints (which is the playing name of the St. John Vianney’s – St. Bede’s Old Collegians Cricket Club Inc.), play in two different Competitions, our Senior Turf teams play in Sub District Cricket Association (VSDCA) and our Junior teams play in the City of Moorabbin Cricket Association (C.M.C.A), and both are very well developed competitions and the C.M.C.A.

  • 14 May: CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITY V AJ WEBBE
    1 January: AUSTRALIA v ENGLAND (Second Test) (See scorecard at Cricket Archive, www.cricketarchive.co.uk/Archive/Scorecards/4/4921.html) Day 1 (report from Monday 3 January) Melbourne, Jan. 1 The second of the five test matches between Mr Stoddart’s team and All Australia began here to-day under the pleasantest conditions. Large at the start, the attendance went on increasing, till late in the afternoon there were 24,000 people on the ground. It was feared at first that owing to a small abscess in the throat Ranjitsinhji would have to stand out of the England eleven. However, after consulting a doctor, he found himself able to play, so Stoddart made way for him. The other player left out was Board. With Stoddart away Maclaren captained the side. Trott won the toss, and such a fine start was made by Australia that at the end of the day 283 runs had been scored for the loss of only three wickets. McLeod and Darling opened the innings to the bowling of Richardson and Hirst. The early batting was slow and marked by great caution. Richardson bowled four maiden overs in succession and the fielding was superb. With the total at 17, Briggs went on in place of Richardson, off whom only one run had been made. Darling scored eight in Briggs’s first over, and then, at 25, Richardson bowled at Hirst’s end. Darling did nearly all the hitting, getting 23 runs out of the first 27. As the game proceeded, the play became freer in character, Darling’s cutting being very clean and neat.

  • Roster-Based Optimisation for Limited Overs Cricket
    Roster-Based Optimisation for Limited Overs Cricket by Ankit K. Patel A thesis submitted to the Victoria University of Wellington in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Statistics and Operations Research. Victoria University of Wellington 2016 Abstract The objective of this research was to develop a roster-based optimisation system for limited overs cricket by deriving a meaningful, overall team rating using a combination of individual ratings from a playing eleven. The research hypothesis was that an adaptive rating system ac- counting for individual player abilities, outperforms systems that only consider macro variables such as home advantage, opposition strength and past team performances. The assessment of performance is observed through the prediction accuracy of future match outcomes. The expec- tation is that in elite sport, better teams are expected to win more often. To test the hypothesis, an adaptive rating system was developed. This framework was a combination of an optimisa- tion system and an individual rating system. The adaptive rating system was selected due to its ability to update player and team ratings based on past performances. A Binary Integer Programming model was the optimisation method of choice, while a modified product weighted measure (PWM) with an embedded exponentially weighted moving average (EWMA) functionality was the adopted individual rating system. The weights for this system were created using a combination of a Random Forest and Analytical Hierarchical Process. The model constraints were objectively obtained by identifying the player’s role and performance outcomes a limited over cricket team must obtain in order to increase their chances of winning.
