11 PRESIDENT’S REPORT
The Eastern Suburbs Dolphins competed strongly across all grades but all missed out on finals qualification in 2016/17. This was disappointing after some remarkable performances headlined by First Grade’s win chasing over 400 to beat eventual runners-up Bankstown, which included a superb debut century from Mark Morley.
Overall the performances were erratic and inconsistent.
Milestones featured more often than victories and Ian Moran was top of the class becoming the second highest run scorer of all time in First Grade.
Around him Test batsman Sam Robson produced the best batting scoring 792 runs at an average of 88 with seven 50s and two hundreds in 11 innings.
Elsewhere Nic Maddinson made his Test debut and Peter Nevill performed strongly for NSW after being dropped from the Australian team. It was a harsh call given Peter’s outstanding glove work and we wish both Nic and Peter well for the Ashes season ahead.
Returning to Easts, off-spinner Will Somerville played regularly for NSW with some outstanding performances and fast bowler Henry Thornton showed his development as a future Big Bash and First Class player after captaining the Poidevin-Gray team.
Kevin Pillay captained the Seconds and retired at the end of the season with a distinguished record of trophies and premierships.
Along the pathway for junior talent, the AW Green Shield team reached the quarter finals, the Junior Academy was re established, a promising group of youngsters played strongly in Sixth Grade and Easts won SEJCA competitions from under tens to under fifteens, claiming the Junior Club Championship.
The Club was involved with Dream Cricket, a program for special needs children to play cricket alongside those participating in the ever-popular in2CRICKET program. The Junior Committee had another impressive season and Brendan Lyon’s holiday cricket camps were well attended.
Our major sponsor, the Intercontinental Hotel Sydney Double Bay, hosted a very successful Sporting Legends Lunch in March, a strong fund raiser for the Club and largely dedicated to supporting our Juniors. I’d like to acknowledge the wonderful sponsorship support of the Woollahra Hotel where most of the Committee meetings and a number of functions were held.
A big thanks to all the hard workers and volunteers who have helped steer the Club more strategically than ever before.
12 Adrian Tham has been a tireless Secretary and scorer, Tim Brown reached another personal wicket-taking milestone as a leg spinner while keeping the books and Liz Thorp and Marcus Van Vugt organized the Juniors brilliantly.
On Saturdays and many Sundays Andrew Taucher, David Smyth and Geoff de Mesquita manned the BBQ and kiosk at Waverley Oval, with hands on from Tony Adams and Steve Abbott to make sure everything was done.
Again Owen Ridge kept the scoreboard alight from his hutch in First Grade.
There are many tireless workers in the Club and Vice President Peter Lovitt has been conspicuous in driving your club to excellence.
Thanks to all the Dolphins on and off the field for your commitment!

SOCIAL REPORT
As no teams qualified for the finals in season 2016/17, there was plenty of form to be recovered on the tiles of Sydney’s best watering holes. Led ably by the fresh club captains, the Club enjoyed an improved year off the field. In a year when some of the most consistent performers in all of Sydney Grade Cricket took their drinking abilities to other cities, there were some big shoes to fill. In the place of Angus Robson and Daniel Rootes, the likes of Matthew Sarkies, Peter Lazarus, Jono Bank and Mark Morley frequently filled their boots while consistent performers such as Oliver Maxwell and David Dunne stayed true to form.
The Christmas party was once again a raging success. General consensus was that we don’t spend enough time in white clothing so the club happily embraced the all-white theme of the night. Despite the tonal theme, Andrew Taucher insisted on serving up copious amounts of beetroot on dodgy sandwiches that stained shirts and ended people’s chances of attracting any attention from the large number of women present on the night. The fact that recall of this night is minimal as this report is written in March would suggest that a great night was had by all!
The formal events of the year were once again a roaring success. The gods came to the party, as nearly 100 mills of rain fell in the week of the Corporate Lunch. As games were slowly called off through that Friday afternoon, beers flowed and stories became more and more tainted by tax. As the only grade not called off on the Friday, a few of the Second Grade boys sighed a great relief when the game was eventually called off on Saturday morning – Jacob Taucher was heard yelling “Great Pepsi boys, you little beauty” after the umpires informed the captains of the washout. The highlight of the presentation night was undoubtedly Sandman’s “Rare XI”, captained by Terry Mystakas and managed by Dave Smyth. Nathan Rowe, Reuben Taucher and Kevin Pillay were other members in a formidable outfit. The hosts of the night had the crowd in stitches and started getting frustrated by how many compliments they received at El Topo later in the night.
Other highlights included an afternoon of drinking games led by Club Coach Murray Creed and several successful “Dolphin multis” (Woolhara Hotel into El Topo – a combination that consistently pays out). Well done to all those involved, plenty of momentum to be carried into next year. Cheers!
TOM “GAL” GALLOP & JACOB “COB” TAUCHER
15 Millar Munro Inspires Us All
Millar Munro is one of our more lively young cricketers at Easts Cricket Club. Last year Millar was diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumour. Against the odds, he is surviving but he has been left with significant deficits and the Club held a match to help raise funds.
Millar’s Story
Local Legends Local One morning in September 2016 a young six year old boy’s life would change forever. On that fateful day Millar entered his parents’ bedroom only moments after waking, as he did every morning, where they realised something wasn’t right.
Millar was rushed to Sydney’s Children’s Hospital, where he underwent numerous tests but even more drastically went onto life support where he would remain for many weeks to come.
In the days that followed, Millar’s parents, Richard and Danielle, and the Munro and Kean family would be subject to the unimaginable as Millar was diagnosed with a large tumour on his brain stem and bleeding on the brain.
Three hours into emergency surgery the news was delivered that the tumour would be too difficult to extract without posing significant risk to the Millar, which they were not willing to do.
After long weeks of exploring treatment options doctors declared that the tumour was inoperable and incurable.
However through persistence, determination and perseverance and after numerous complications, infections, further operations, radiation and chemotherapy treatments Millar managed to fight his way off life support into a stable medical condition and after 101 days in hospital Millar was able to return home just in time to celebrate Christmas with his family.
The road ahead for Millar is now one of extreme “Richard and Danielle, you are challenges, as he is still has no controlled muscle a true inspiration to us all, faced movement and his only communication is via his with such great adversity and limited eye movements. heartbreak you have never once shirked the task ahead, in my eyes In March, many rallied around the Munro and Kean you are true heroes.” families to provide much needed support and hope by GRANT KEAN, MILLAR’S UNCLE holding the second Violet Shield - A Match For Millar.

18 OBITUARIES
ROBERT N. BURKE
Courtesy of Eastern Suburbs District Rugby Union Football Club
The Eastern Suburbs Rugby Union community lost one of its most stalwart supporters and a much-loved and respected regular face at the club when Clubman of The Year and Honorary Vice President of Waverley (later Eastern Suburbs) District Cricket Club, Bob Burke, passed away earlier in 2017.
Among many other interests, Bob was a keen snooker player. When Easts Rugby ran regular snooker competitions in the 1960s and 70s and both members and players entered the handicap event, Bob was one of the main organisers. He enjoyed nothing more than meeting his many friends down at the club on most evenings and sipping on a cold Resch’s beer. Burkey also liked a singalong, much to the chagrin of then Secretary/Manager, the late Gordon Williamson. Even the threat of being cited to the Board by Gordon was not enough to keep Bob quiet.
As team manager for a number of Grade and Colts sides throughout the years, Bob always ensured there was a case of cold beer for his players in the sheds at game’s end.
He was a student at Sydney Boys High where he excelled at athletics and cricket, being recognised for his service to Waverley Cricket as an Honorary Vice-President.
Bob was awarded Honorary Life Membership of Easts Rugby, a singular honour achieved by only the most devoted and dedicated of club members. He was a well-loved and much respected figure at the club, always ready to reach out and welcome newcomers to the club, as well as being a pillar of support for the players, staff and Board of Directors.
Eastern Suburbs District Rugby Union Football Club will miss our friend, Bob Burke, terribly and we are grateful for his friendship and dedication to our great club.
Easts Rugby and Easts Cricket extend our deepest sympathies and condolences to Anne and the rest of Bob’s family, as well as his very wide circle of friends.

20 PETER NEVILL WILL SOMERVILLE TWENTY-FIRST ANNUAL REPORT
The season’s mix of results, as statistics often do, obscure the full picture of what occurred on and off the field for the Dolphins. The inclement weather in the second half of 2016/17 hindered our teams’ progress more than it helped and when Round 15 ended, there was a sense that we needed a few more weeks to make up for lost playing time! However, cricket remains an unforgiving game and points on the table achieved from the end of September to mid-March remains the differentiator of success.
There’s a strong argument for making your own luck in this game and the cream generally rises to the top, so whilst the Seniors as a group will be more determined than ever to hit the ground running in 2017/18, the Club boasts a host of champion teams and milestones of improvement in its Junior ranks. Being Junior Club champions in the South East Junior Cricket Association was confirmed by six teams winning their respective competitions. Such success does not occur by accident and it is a great reflection on our Junior Committee, and the parents involved with managing and coaching Junior teams.
Add to this the revival of the Easts Academy program and our Green Shield team achieving its best result in many years, the potential for more of our local Juniors to rise up the ranks into Premier Grade is increasing. This reinforces the importance of player pathways and highlights the ongoing efforts of those involved with in2CRICKET through to the T20 Blast, SEJCA competition and the six grade teams.
Eastern Suburbs CC indeed has to be one of the leading amateur cricket organizations in providing opportunities for youngsters of all ages to play cricket. On top of the programs mentioned above and the youth coming through the lower grades, Brendan Lyon’s holiday cricket camps have been well-received,
21 the Dream Cricket program for children with special needs and the enthusiasm of our Club Person of the Year, Liz Thorp to organize a girls team (runners up in their competition) indicate the range of commitments engaged in by the Club.
In terms of highlights by our Seniors, there were many to note. We start with Ian Moran becoming the second highest 1st Grade run-scorer of all time – it is difficult to imagine we will see the likes of “Scotty” pull on an Easts cap for a long time. We acknowledge the retirement of the player ahead of Ian, Greg Mail. There is still a chance for Ian to get to number one!
This season saw the rise of Will Somerville’s prominence in the Blues First XI including his marathon spell against Queensland taking career best innings figures of 8/136. Will contributed with bat and ball for the Dolphins and we offer warm congratulations for an outstanding representative season (including that incredible catch for the Sixers!).
Sam Robson again epitomized professionalism and dedication with the bat as he spent his England off-season compiling 792 runs at an average of 88 in 1st Grade. Admired universally on and off the field by his teammates, we wish Sam well in pushing again for Test honours as we approach another Ashes series.
The Club sends its best wishes to Kevin Pillay and Daniel Magin who have confirmed they will not be returning for Easts next season. Kev has retired from Grade cricket after registering an illustrious record of achievement and experience which includes captaining a 1st Grade premiership and being a part of many more champion teams. Daniel is moving overseas after an excellent season spearheading the 1st Grade bowling and scoring runs in the lower order becoming one of the best all-rounders for 2016/17.
Thanks go to the players and all their efforts this season in often trying conditions.
Thank you to the Committees looking after both the Juniors and Seniors. As always our combined efforts and the spirit of working together have strengthened and will strengthen the Club going forward.
To those who gave freely of their time to support the Club – all your work is appreciated. Somehow the things that need to be done are done but it doesn’t happen by magic. Much effort is carried out week to week, even in the off- season, so if you know someone who has volunteered behind the scenes, let them know the Club is most grateful.
To our financial supporters – you have stood up as partners in providing opportunities for many in the Eastern Suburbs community to play cricket in 2016/17 and your generosity brings these opportunities to life.
Last but not least, it was a great honour to acknowledge President Jim Maxwell’s 40 years of calling Test cricket at the Sporting Legends Lunch. It’s been a tough period for Jim, however with the composure of a veteran of live radio commentary, the recovery is well underway and we were graced again by his voice at the SCG. We extend our gratitude to Life Member and Vice-President Peter Lovitt who continues to astound us with the work he puts in for the Club across many areas including sponsorship, recruitment and with Waverley Council.
Preparations for 2017/18 have already begun and there is a lot more to do, so we look forward to your company and hope you can go around with us again!
Up the Dolphs!

22 The club delievered a small surplus of $16,000 and has TREASURER’S REPORT a good net asset base to invest back in facilities and coaching in the near future.
The committee worked very hard on securing new sponsors that resulted in over 25% growth in sponsorship dollars. We welcomed a number of new sponsors including Wollongong University, Savills and Green Options Residential and Staminade and we thank them for their support and hope it’s the start of a long partnership. Our returning sponsors of The Woollahra Hotel, Quantum Business Finance, WOTSO WorkSpace, Phillips Foote, The Easts Group, 99 on York, Bendigo Bank Clovelly Branch, and Select Fresh were once again very generous in their support of the club. A big thank you to our major sponsor – Intercontinental Sydney Double Bay who hosted another successful fundraising lunch for the club that this year included Dave Faulkner of Hoodoo Gurus fame belting out What’s My Scene in the ballroom which I’m sure was a first for the venue!
We have been working hard with Waverley Council on our major capital works project being new sight screens for Waverley Oval. The Council as always have been a big supporter of the club and along with help from Cricket NSW and in partnership with the AFL we hope to have new sight screens at Waverley in time for the upcoming season.
We continued to build on our coaching structures and in particular invested further in our pathways programme from the junior to senior ranks. The academy programme is proving to be a success and it was good to see our Green Shield side being highly competitive this year.
The club also invested in a car for use by players and coaches from Sydney City Toyota during the year. An interest free loan has been entered into to finance the car and a 2nd loan car has been provided by Sydney City Toyota free of charge as part of a sponsorship agreement.
A big thank you to the committee who once again worked tirelessly through the year to keep the club in the shape that it is both on and off the field.
Up the Dolphs! TIM BROWN Treasurer

26 AUDITOR’S REPORT
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF EASTERN SUBURBS CRICKET CLUB (WAVERLEY) INCORPORATED
Opinion

Revenue for the club continued to grow to $454 thousand for the 2016 financial TREASURER’S year. This growth was driven by the increase in junior numbers along with capital grant increases and an improved result at the annual fundraising lunch REPORT held at the Intercontinental Sydney Double Bay.
The Birrell St nets in Waverley Park were completely refurbished during the year providing a much better facility for our junior teams and the community in general. We will continue to work with the council and government bodies to look to improve cricket facilities throughout the Eastern Suburbs.

COACH’S REPORT
The Dolphins had a Premier Grade season of mixed performances as most would agree.
First Grade on paper was a better team than where we finished. The transient nature of our squad with representative players being called away at various points was probably a factor with some of the remaining players performing below their ability. The Coach and players can share responsibility for this.
Second Grade had a good team spirit based on a core group of former Easts juniors. Given it was a young team, they performed well and will get better as their technical skills are quite good but there is a need to develop limited overs skills and batting for long periods.
Third Grade was a mix of a few senior players and juniors. A number of core senior players from last season had retired and that had an impact. It is great to see a couple of young up and coming players such as Will Simpson and Will Lawrance being handed opportunities and they did well in stages. It was however disappointing to not make the finals after finishing runners-up last year.
Fourth Grade was in the running for most of the year but losses in a few key games and poor weather cost them a finals place. Player movements into higher grades had an impact. The strong team spirit lit up the pathway for some of our promising youngsters.
Fifth and Sixth Grades were also quite strong on paper and comprised of some of our Green Shield members. Again, performances varied across the season. The Green Shield squad was run well by Lee Kirk and showed marked improvement on last year. 4 to 5 players are exciting prospects.
35 MARK MORAN, BOB HORSELL AND LEE KIRK
The PG performance was a bit disappointing despite the great work by Steve Green. We probably lacked some penetration with the ball (bowling workload management hurt us) and were short of dominant performances.
The 2016/17 Senior coaching group comprised:
• Murray Creed - Head Coach, • Steve Green – Assistant Coach and Poidevin-Gray Coach, • Greg Clarence – Fielding and batting assistant, • John Anderson – Batting technical advisor, • Nathan Bracken – Fast bowling technical advisor, • Greg Matthews – Spin bowling technical advisor, • Andrew Griffin – Strength and Conditioning specialist.
Next season, it is recommended we look into engaging experienced players and specialists to further develop mental strength on the field and having a dedicated wicket keeping technical advisor.
For the Juniors, a pre season Academy was held consisting of talented youngsters and Green Shield squad members. This Academy engaged numerous Easts coaching staff. Easts employed a specialist junior coach – Brendan Lyon. Brendan’s role was to engage the Easts junior teams and offer coaching and assistance. The Green Shield team under Lee Kirk had an extensive pre competition build up. Many of the Green Shield players attended Senor training sessions which were of significant benefit to them.
The Club would like to improve upon this year’s position on the ladder and strives to offer the best coaching and facilities possible. With a strong junior base, the Club has the challenge of continuing to provide a clear pathway for these young players.
Thanks to the coaching staff, the Committee, players and supporters of Easts. The experience of managing 60 odd individuals and determining how to get the best out of each provided many valuable lessons that have developed me as a coach and would not have been possible without such strong foundations at this Club.

1st Grade Report
Firstly, I would like to sincerely thank and acknowledge everyone that supported First Grade off the field this season. Behind every club is a multitude of volunteers and contributors that allow us players to get on with playing cricket in a supportive and organised environment. To Jim Maxwell, Peter Lovitt and the Committee of Management, thank you for your support and decisive approach towards cultivating a professional and positive structure. I am confident with the current direction and structures that are being put in place, these efforts will be rewarded on the field with finals appearances and silverware in the coming seasons.
It’s always a pleasure turning up to Waverley Oval (particularly when 3s or 5s are doing In2Cricket) with the BBQ all fired up and great club people like Geoff running around making sure everyone is comfortable and all needs are met. Thanks Geoff! It is difficult to sum up everything Tony Adams does for First Grade week in, week out. He spends countless hours and no doubt funds ensuring everything is under control in the dressing room. Tony once again took player luxury to another level with toasted ham and cheese sandwiches which were well received and nothing is ever a problem too big for him to sort out immediately to make sure we can get on with the game. Thanks again, Tony. 38 We had two other regular game day contributions from the master of MyCricket, Owen, and trigger happy photographer Barry. Owen would have to be the most optimistic scorer in Grade cricket. If we were bowled out for a low score he would race down and say “we’ve got about 50 too many here for this team skip”. Regardless of how far-fetched sometimes Owen’s assessments can be he’s always backing us to win and we are very grateful for the time he spends scoring each year. Barry’s Facebook following has grown exponentially and appears to have forced a new photography page to be created in order to manage the requests, likes and comments. There’s also half a chance he just forgot the password to his regular account. However, a huge thanks for capturing the highs and lows of the season and for the promotional support of the team.
To the coaching staff, Muz, Greeny and Griffo, thanks for your continual efforts throughout the season. Each of you always went above and beyond in your efforts to improve players in all aspects and I know as a team we were very grateful for your contributions. It’s never easy trying to improve the performance of 60+ senior players but you all had time to discuss individual plans and align them with the goals of the club. A huge thank you also to Chairman of Selectors Michael Maclennan and all of the other captains for their honesty and support throughout the season under what can be difficult circumstances.
From a playing perspective we did not achieve the results we were capable of. We showed glimpses of our potential by beating the majority of top teams but during the back end of the season it was inconsistency that saw us bow out at the conclusion of preliminary round matches. However, like any season we had moments of individual brilliance and I believe if we can all find ways to contribute a little bit more each match we will be more consistent and clinical in tight games. An example that would be remiss of me not to mention would be Mark Morley’s hundred on debut to chase down 411 against Bankstown at Waverley Oval.
Moving forward we had 3 players make their debut in First Grade this season who also played PGs which is a positive sign for coming seasons. Those players were Henry Thornton, Jonte Pattison and Jack Remond. If it wasn’t for unprecedented weather conditions, we would’ve had a fourth player with Sam Smyth being named in First Grade on the weekend when all cricket was abandoned due to extreme heat concerns.
From a player pathway perspective, we were well represented. Sommers dominated First Class cricket this season with a highlight of 8/136 against Queensland at the SCG as well as playing a big role in the Big Bash for the Sydney Sixers. Henry debuted for the Sixers and represented the Prime Minister’s XI against Sri Lanka and the Cricket Australia XI against Pakistan. Maddo of course getting his hands on a baggy green was an enormous achievement and the ultimate reward for any cricketer. Nev contributed across all formats and responded the only way he knows how after being overlooked for Test selection by crunching First Class attacks for NSW since his return to state cricket.
My Captain’s Choice and ESCC Player of the Year went to Sam Robson. Robbo completely dominated this season with the bat. Whilst he’s irrefutably mad on occasions, he’s the ultimate professional and his work ethic at practice is outstanding and one many others should try and emulate. He finished up with 792 runs at an average of 88 and a highest score of 155no. Fingers crossed he’s back in Dolphins gear next season!
39 Whilst it is often said that no one really plays for personal milestones, Ian Moran is breaking records so often, it is certainly becoming a bit of a habit. Ian is now the second highest run scorer of all time in First Grade cricket. He sits currently with 12,395 under the belt and doesn’t look like slowing down any time soon. It is genuinely an enormous achievement and one that I know the Club is proud to have been a part of so well done, Scotty.
At the time of putting together this report it directly coincides with the period where each team could have up to 8+ retirements/ movements (myself included). Zeeks to Bees, Tas to the Whales, Moran to retire from chasing Maily etc. However, I am only confident of one from First Grade this season, Mags. Daniel certainly made a mark in two seasons at the club. He led our attack with uncompromising effort and would often intimidate oppositions with composed aggression with the ball and entertaining stroke play with the bat. We wish him all the best over in the UK and thank him for his efforts and contributions to the Dolphs. Remember to ‘take a photo’, Mags.
Second Grade Captain and long servant of Grade cricket, Kevin Pillay, has officially retired. I wouldn’t be able to do him justice in a short space except to say the example and leadership he consistently shows is legendary. He’s forever laughing and enjoying himself even when under considerable pressure and would be the first picked in any ‘Good Bloke XI’. Kev has won several premierships and been a pivotal factor in the development of countless cricketers from Grade to current First Class and Test cricketers. From a personal perspective I would like to take this opportunity to thank Kev for his guidance and mentoring over the last few years. I hope the club can have him involved off the field for many years to come to pass on his experience and buzz for the game. Well done, skip!
Finally, on behalf of the team I would like to thank to all of the wives, girlfriends, family members and friends who came down to support at various stages of the season. Your support and encouragement is sincerely appreciated.
Up the Dolphs!

43 The Twenty20 Cup this season again comprised of 4 preliminary Kingsgrove Sports rounds with Easts placed in the Sydney Sixers half of the draw. The performances in the first two matches were in sharp Twenty20 Report contrast to those in the last two matches.
It was a tough start as the Dolphins were restricted to 5/107 against Sydney, with Jonte Pattison unbeaten on 33. In reply, Smith and Denly chased down the target without loss.
In the next game, we faced the Saints at Waverley and batting first, St George posted 190 off its 20 overs with Henry Thornton the pick of the bowlers (1/29 off 4). The Easts innings was led by Daniel Magin with 48 off 30 balls and Pattison 29 off 20 but the target proved out of reach.
Despite the setbacks, the second game of the Waverley double- header saw a big turnaround with Thornton leading with the ball (4/17) against Sutherland and they were routed for 85. In reply, Ian Moran took the attack apart hitting 10 fours and 2 sixes in his 72 not out (85% of the total) off 37 balls, including a maximum to finish the game.
The last preliminary match saw UNSW win the toss and bat first but a dominant bowling performance led by the trio of Thornton, Magin and Will Somerville contained the total to 95 off 20 overs. Moran scored an unbeaten 55 off 48 balls to see the Dolphins cruise to victory.
In the end, Easts finished 7th out of 12 teams in its Conference with Moran the best of the Easts batters scoring an aggregate of 176 runs (8th in the competition), while Thornton led the Easts bowlers with 7 wickets.

The overall results in Second Grade are not reflective of the talent and 2nd Grade Report ability within the Club and therefore the challenge moving forward is to ensure we continue to find ways to perform consistently across a full season.
From a Second Grade playing point of view we were not consistent enough to get into the finals of the competition this year, however there were a number of team performances which indicated the potential of this group.
The most outstanding results saw the team come within a whisker of claiming outright points. Firstly against Sutherland when we required 97 off 10 overs in the 4th innings - Tom Gallop was run out off the last ball looking for the winning run after scoring an extraordinary 63 off 37 balls. Against North Sydney, we fell 1 wicket short of maximum points after a confident all-round display.
The fighting spirit of the team was evident when the team recovered in both innings of its one-dayer against a high-performing UNSW line-up to win by 19 runs.
In terms of individual performances, it was great see Jack Remond and Mark Morley debut in First Grade and Sam Smyth return from injury back into 3s, then establishing himself at the top of the order in Second Grade.
Well done to two of our best and most consistent bowlers, Nathan Rowe who reached 100 games for the Club and earned a call-up to First Grade while Jacob Taucher was often our best with the ball reaching the 200-wicket milestone.
Special mention goes to Matt Sarkies, awarded as the Captain’s Choice for 2016/17. Matt has been most consistent and ended up being a key player in our team with bat and ball proving to be a genuine all-rounder. Matt has won us games this season showing great composure and execution whilst also passing 100 games for the Club. He was a pleasure to captain and his stats were impressive - averaging 42 with the bat and taking 13 wickets at 30. 47 We have taken a small step forward from last year and will be required to progress forward to play finals cricket. The experience and knowledge gained throughout this season will be invaluable for future seasons. We learnt to win the closer games but will need to improve our fielding and desperation to compete from Round 1 and not just after Christmas.
Thank you to all the players who played Second Grade this season. It was a pleasure to see the team play with great determination and pride after a slow start to the season.
Thank you to all coaching staff, the Committee and volunteers, fellow Captains and selectors, our families. During training, Barry Clarence did a sterling job. On game day, Geoff de Mesquita was on top of everything, along with Mr Taucher and Mr Smyth. Cheers to Matt Sommerville our curator and our most consistent performer Adrian Tham.
We have the talent to push for the title. We must keep believing in ourselves, keep backing ourselves and most of all keep enjoying ourselves.

After the success of the previous two seasons which coincided with a Minor 3rd Grade Report Premiership and two Grand Final appearances, hopes were high to reproduce this success in 2016/17 and even go one better. Unfortunately the path to reach the last weekend of the season wasn’t as fortuitous as the two preceding seasons. This came down to losing close fixtures against tough opposition before Christmas, and rain affected draws or washouts after Christmas when we were chasing crucial points against lower ranked teams. In essence, Third Grade had a season somewhat of two parts. If the side had a bit more luck, it well could have been playing finals for a third season in a row. Despite not making the finals, the players can hold their heads high. Over 15 rounds, to win two of the first three rounds, and then only lose one match after Round 6 and not make the finals didn’t seem plausible.
I am sure the younger players playing on next season will have taken away a lot from the season as they look for higher grade honours. Through the first half of the season with new and/or younger players there was a lot of trial and error with the side as we looked to find our groove, which also wasn’t made easy with a tough first half draw and a number of unavailable players. After the break, with better availability and improved individual form, the side gathered some momentum which also resulted in increased confidence, self-belief and enjoyment. One other aspect the players can learn from the season is the
51 importance of getting wins on the board early in the season as the February and March weather typically has a say in how much cricket and points you can get at the back end of the season in the race for the finals.
Through the season, the matches which defined our season or produced memorable team and individual performances included:
After going down to Manly by 14 runs in the season opener, we bounced back against last season’s Minor Premiers Sydney with a clinical display at Trumper. Winning the toss, Easts amassed 8/227 off the back of a solid performance from the top order which produced key partnerships around Ollie Maxwell (44) and Andy Coles (40). In reply, the Dolphin seamers strangled the Tigers and built pressure through tight bowling. As the run rate required increased, Sydney lost wickets falling to 8/95. Despite the tail wagging, Easts ran out victors by 73 runs with JJ Coutts taking 3/32 and Jack Remond 2/20.
In the first two-day match of the season against the Bulldogs, only eleven wickets fell in the match on one of the flatter wickets seen at Trumper. Bankstown batted first and amassed 5/315 batting on into day two. At 2/205 things looked ominous, but some tight bowling restricted the run rate, which caused the Bulldogs to become mindful about time remaining in the match and overs required to take 10 wickets on a very flat wicket. When the declaration came, Easts were left with 72 overs to chase down a large total at four and a half runs an over. After a good opening partnership, Sam McNeil (133 not out) and Andy Coles (55) produced a 145-run third wicket partnership. McNeil’s innings revolved around driving and strong leg side play as he bought up his maiden grade ton in just his third appearance for the Club. Prinya Kham finished the match off with a quick fire 38 as the Dolphins won by 5 wickets with seven overs remaining in the day.
After three losses on the trot, Easts got back in the winner’s circle after the Round 7 clash with North Sydney. Batting first Easts set a solid platform in building a decent total on a good batting wicket with Alex Brooks compiling 56 up front. But it was Will Simpson’s well compiled 70 not out which helped push Easts to 290. Inclement weather during the week helped Easts in defending their total on day two as the Bears slipped to 6/70, but as Trumper often does, the wicket flattened out and the visitor’s lower order capitalised. With ten overs to go in the match, any result still looked likely as the new ball was taken, but the Easts fielders kept their cool producing two excellent run outs. With two overs to go and a draw now the most likely result Reuben Taucher took a sharp chance at slip to ensure a crucial six points was locked away for the Dolphins.
In our first match after Christmas that wasn’t drawn or abandoned because of poor weather, James Deacon dominated the Blacktown attack in 40 degree heat to bring up his maiden Grade ton. When Deacs was finally dismissed for 127 Easts were
52 on their way to finishing 9/241 on the large ground at Whalan. The Warriors started their chase well, but when spin was introduced the game quickly ran its course with Sam McNeil 4/14 and Third Grade debutant Andy Yaxley 3/23 wrapping the game up as the Dolphins claimed a bonus point.
Easts came up against an experienced outfit in their clash with Hawkesbury at Trumper. Batting first Easts showed some real resolve against the experienced Shane Mott who bowled a mammoth 36 overs of accurate left arm swing bowling. Easts batted into day two to post a competitive total of 192. Middle order contributions from Kham and Simpson helped resurrect the Easts innings, but it was Will Lawrance who put together 49 down the order to give the Dolphins a total to bowl at. In reply Easts’ seamers made inroads to have the Hawks reeling at 6/80, until an 80-run seventh wicket partnership threatened to snatch victory for the visitors. When the partnership was finally broken which quickly followed with a double strike in the same over, the Hawks panicked and a mix up resulted in an emphatic seven run victory. Angus Palmer claimed 5/51 and was ably supported by Andy Yaxley who bowled unchanged to claim 2/43.
Level on points, UNSW and Easts met at David Phillips in a one-day fixture. The Bumblebees batted first and threatened to put together a large total, but as the innings unfolded wickets fell regularly as Easts contained the run rate. UNSW was eventually bowled out in 45 overs for 154, with Angus Palmer 4/21, Alex Tunnadine 3/36 and Andy Yaxley 3/24 being the key performers. In reply Easts got off to a solid start moving to 0/63. With this platform a bonus point became feasible as the Dolphins looked to chase the total down inside 30 overs, but a cluster of wickets stalled the aggressive tactics and Easts settled for a four wicket win.
Easts made it four wins on the bounce against Penrith at Trumper winning by five wickets in a rain affected match after bowling the Panthers out for 159 with Harry Brooks claiming 3/30. After a shaky start, Easts recovered to chase down the revised total which revolved around a dogged innings from Andy Coles who made 43 not out.
Through the season other memorable performances included the 100-run 7th wicket partnership between Ollie Maxwell and Jack Remond against Manly, Will Lawrance’s 73 out of 124 against his former Club, coming in at seven with Easts reeling at 5/30, while Andy Coles made a patient 87 and 40 against Sutherland and Northern District.
In summary, there were two key missing factors from our season – first, a lack of standout or match winning performances with only two centuries and one five wicket haul registered throughout the season. The other key aspect
53 was losing close matches with Easts being on the wrong side of match results by 4 runs, 14 runs and 2 wickets. Despite the grand efforts after the holiday break, these missing elements meant the finals became out of reach.
After three seasons skippering Third Grade, I have decided to wind up my playing time. Thank you to Prinya for standing in during the middle of the season while I was injured. To guys like Tunners, Prinya, Deacs, Ollie, Harry, Sarks, Jack who have spent a decent part of the past three seasons in my side, I thank you guys for being part of the ride and helping raise the bar for a side which has done everything it can but win a premiership in that period.

56 4th Grade Report
The 2016/2017 season started with an outstanding victory against Manly when we defended a small total at Snape Park. This set high expectations for us to achieve our goal of making the finals. This goal remained in reach until the final match and if it wasn’t for washouts in two of our last three games (when other games went ahead and points were secured by rivals) I believe we would have made the finals. While disappointing not to reach the finals it was a highly enjoyable season with a number of great victories.
Of the four games we played against the eventual semi finalists we won three, which showed we could compete with the top teams. The disappointment in the dressing room at Petersham Oval, after narrowly losing the last game of the year, can hopefully drive us to make the finals and challenge for the premiership next season.
My thanks to all the 4th Grade players– your support and enthusiasm made my job much easier and enjoyable. To the committee and volunteers thanks for all your often unseen work – it is appreciated by all the players. Thanks to Muz, Greenie and Barry for creating a great training environment, Mick Maclennan for his help with selections, and to Andrew Taucher and David Nash for their help in the canteen at Trumper Park. Also a shout out to David Dunne and Matt Coles for organising some post-game celebrations during the year.
57 Below are some of the key contributors to 4th Grade:
• Jono Bank was the team’s leading run scorer. He deserved his promotion to 3rd Grade and his positivity and enthusiasm for the game and his teammates shone through.
• Tim Brown had another outstanding year and was the leading wicket taker at Easts. He is closing in on 500 wickets so see you Brownie next year!
• Patrick Turk produced season highlights with his flipper victims and did a great job opening the batting when called upon.
• Terry Mystakas brought his salad over to the Dolphins and was very consistent with the bat. Just needs to convert some of his starts and he will be unstoppable.
• David Dunne bowled as well as ever after Christmas. Always a special experience playing cricket with one of the great characters of Sydney grade cricket!
• Steven Lewis’ world-class rig guided him through another successful year with the new ball. He was the spearhead for most of the 4th Grade season and deserved his promotion to 3rd Grade where he continued to take wickets.
• Reuben Taucher contributed regularly with bat and ball and if he can combine them consistently he should be an all rounder in the higher grades. A well deserved selection in the Rare XI at presentation night!
• Matthew Coles’ hundred was sensational but he will be looking for more consistency next year to fulfil his potential and play higher grades.
• Kirk Rimmer got us home in a number of games with his middle order runs. Run machine and key team sprayer.
• Josh Martin came into the team after Green Shield finished and made the keeping position his own. Did a great job behind the stumps and as he continues to improve his batting will push for selection in the higher grades.
• We had two English imports in 4th Grade this season. Michael Jones showed us what he could do with his match winning innings against Northern District and Archie Dunning with his spell of bowling against Sydney Uni. We hope to see them both back in Dolphins colours next season and at the very least for a drink at the Tank in the near future!
Will Lawrance, Will Simpson, Alex Brooks, Sam Powell, Alex Tunnadine, Andy Yaxley, Andy Coles, Alistair Shackman, Vedant Agrawal, Luke Course, Nikshep Mekala, Dom Cook and Steele Brown also represented 4th Grade with distinction during the year.
This was my first season as captain - it was extremely enjoyable and I learned a lot. Thanks to everyone for their support and contributions during the season and see you all in 2017/18!!

5th Grade Report
The 2016/17 season in 5th Grade was again a highly enjoyable one and I would like to thank the coaches and volunteers at the Club for their work in making the season possible. The season was characterised by some close losses and missed opportunities early in the season that eventually saw us lose too much ground to the higher placed teams, a couple of opportunistic moments of brilliance and a bit of luck could have made things very different, however that’s cricket (apologies for the cliché).
Despite not having a large amount of success on the field as far as victories were concerned, success was achieved in other areas especially in unearthing some of the Club’s young talent. Green Shield players Vedant Agrawal, Nikshep Mekala, Yianni Theodorakopoulos, Tom Federow, Shreyan Deshpande and Josh Martin all tasted senior grade cricket throughout the season and it is exciting for the club to see these talented youngsters improving every week.
Rd 1 v Manly
The season started with a lot of new faces for the opening round against Manly and it was the fresh faces who largely stepped up. Andy Yaxley, who quickly rocketed up the grades was impressive with 3/33 including a wicket with his first ball for the Dolphins. The bowling of fellow Dolphin debutant Luke Course was also a highlight as it would continue to be throughout the season, and all this despite obtaining a finger injury to his bowling hand the night before.
With the bat, youngster Nikshep Mekala begun his campaign opening the batting and scoring a classy half century showing experience beyond his years.
Despite the good effort with the ball and holding the Waratahs to a gettable total we were unable to finish off the chase and we started with a loss. It was this lack of composure in finishing games when in good positions that plagued our season.
Round 3 vs Bankstown
5th Grade got into the winners circle in round 3 vs Bankstown. Reuben Taucher led the way with a damaging 98 and was well supported by the ever consistent Naveed Chowdury with 41. Posting 247 (worth 350 at Snape) we were never challenged by Bankstown, Yaxley and Course doing the damage with the ball taking 4 and 2 wickets respectively. Course was particularly effective in his verbal abuse toward Bankstown club legend Greg Spotswood.
Round 7 vs North Sydney
This game turned out to be an unfortunate loss that had big implications for our finals aspirations. However, mention must go to Kirk Rimmer for his stylish century, Kirk’s off driving was a treat to watch and the knock was undeserving of the disappointing loss that followed. Not cashing in on a flat wicket with the bat, apart from Kirk, and dropped catches really hurt us in this game. Liam Evans was impressive with the ball taking 4-46.
61 Round 12 v UNSW
Fifths put their best performance of the season on display versus the Bumblebees. batting first on a sticky wicket the ever reliable opener Vedant Agrawal (26) and experimental opener Archie Dunning (22) got us off to a great start and the middle order was able to capitalise. Jack Fagan (47) and Steve Towers (24) put on a classy partnership and then Harry White brought it home with a quick fire 36. We finished with 210 off the allotted 50 overs. With the ball we tore UNSW to shreds, led by the workhorse Jackson Coutts. Coutts took the UNSW middle order down taking 3/21 in a great spell of skilled swing bowling, to add to this Coutts was also in the action at slip taking two great catches! Coutts was supported well by Dunning 3/34, Course 1/19, Clayton 1/21 and Mekala, who bowled very quickly, 2/28 bowling UNSW out for 127 in a great team victory.
Special mention goes to Luke Course who was 5th Grade player of the year taking 20 wickets at 15.6 for the season. Other standout seasons belonged to Nikshep Mekala (12 wickets @12.9 and 144 runs @24), Vedant Agrawal 171 runs (all hard earned) at 17.1 and Steve Towers 196 runs @ 28.
Thanks again to the players, coaches, parents, those who scored, volunteers and everyone who was involved in the Dolphins club campaign for the 2016/17 season. While not a successful one in terms of our position on the ladder, I think there are a lot of positives that can be taken from the emergence of young players and the improvement in others. If we can learn from the shortcomings of this season, keep a key group of players on the park for a full season and have a bit more luck with the weather, 5th Grade can be very successful in future seasons.

Easts entered a team into the Metropolitan Cup for the first time in 2016/17 6th Grade Report after a promising performance in the Tim Creer Cup last season. Unlike the Tim Creer Cup which is a purely one-day format, the Metro Cup format mirrors the SCA’s 15 round Grade competition and is seen as better preparation for players looking to play at a higher level.
Based on the quality of anticipated player depth, the goal for the season was to win the competition and results in the first half of the season confirmed this was attainable.
A string of wins mid-season were driven by strong, consistent performances and good player availability moving the team into the top 4. Narrow losses to both of the eventual grand finalists proved pivotal but showed we could match it with the top sides. A successful one-day chase against Mosman with a ball to spare still had us in a good position going into the last three rounds of the regular season.
At this point of the season it was difficult to find players to field a complete team and this had an impact on our ladder position. Losing 3 of the last 4 matches which achieved a result, in addition to two wash outs against lower placed teams, meant we didn’t make the finals.
The younger members of the squad really stood up, when the older players struggled to find form. Impressive performers throughout the season were Nathan Moxey, Freddie Walton, Sebastian Hodge, Yianni Theodorakopoulos (171 runs @ 42.75), Shreyan Deshpande (4 wickets and 274 runs @ 34.25) and Tom Fedorow (357 runs @ 71.4).

67 The 2016-17 PG season was one of mixed performances. There were some Poidevin-Gray great individual efforts, particularly with the bat, however consistency Shield Report proved to be the biggest issue, finishing with two wins for the season. The campaign began with an undermanned side suffering a comprehensive defeat at the hands of St. George. In what was a relatively dark day for the Dolphins at Waverley Oval, Terry Mystakas marked his debut with some graceful late innings runs, announcing his arrival on the PG scene.
A few weeks rest was much needed to recover from a shaky first outing, and a new look outfit made the trip to Western Suburbs to try and wrestle back some momentum. An inconsistent bowling effort leaked runs early, as Wests amassed a healthy total of 8/272.
However James Hooke demonstrated his maturity with the ball in the backend of the innings, which included a key mental victory, to restrict what was initially looking like an ominous total.
The batting unit was bolstered by the return of soon to become PG player of the year Sam Smyth, and he led from the front in a strong opening stand
68 with English import Michael Jones. Smyth’s majestic 109 made a bold statement, as he proved his versatility in the limited overs format. Unfortunately it was not enough as the Dolphins fell 40 runs short, however it appeared that the seeds were being sown for a late charge upwards in the competition.
Round 3 was the start of a new chapter in the Dolphins’ season, putting together a classy all round performance to record their first victory. Schoolboy sensation Ryan O’Beirne showed he could mix it with the big boys taking a bag on debut (6-43) to dismantle the Campbelltown-Camden batting line up.
Following a less than ideal start to the chase, captain Henry Thornton (97) demonstrated his all-round prowess to guide his team home, and kick-start the season.
It appeared that the boys had turned a new leaf, making it two wins on the trot in the local derby against Randwick-Petersham. Mike Jones’ 110 solidified his status as a Sunday specialist on Australian shores, setting up a dominant total. A solid bowling performance left Randwick short, as the dream of Sunday cricket in February was kept alive.
Needing two wins from the remaining two fixtures, the Dolphins travelled to Glenn McGrath Oval for a do or die clash with Sutherland. However early season form came
69 back to haunt the side, posting a sub-par total that Sutherland passed five wickets down.
With hopes of a finals birth dashed, the final round matchup against Sydney Uni was a chance to sign off the season on a positive note. Unfortunately, the batting woes continued, though young William Lawrance carved out middle order runs, to post a defendable total. A strong bowling performance demonstrated the side’s potential, falling agonisingly close with Uni limping past the total nine wickets down.
The 2016-17 season was for the most part, a fairly frustrating year for the PG Dolphins. The inability to string together consistent all round performances ultimately led to a finish in the bottom half of the table . However with almost all members returning next season, the foundations are in place to put in an improved campaign next year. Under the guidance of supercoach Steve Green, we expect the Dolphins to catch a few opponents off guard in 2017-18.

This season’s Green Shield team played 8 games and won 4. The eighth game was a A.W. Green quarter final against the then undefeated Northern District. It was the first time in Shield Report many years that the Club’s Green Shield team has made the finals and the boys should be very proud of their achievements.
72 We didn’t quite have as much punch as some of the leading teams but we certainly had a crack and were more than competitive throughout the competition. We certainly didn’t have any trouble bowling teams out, it was our batting that let us down. Our top order in particular struggled for consistency and unfortunately the lower order saw the new ball a few times too often which hurt us in the end.
Having said this, I am very proud of the entire squad and it’s pleasing to know that we have a few guys coming back again next season. For the guys moving on, I hope you can continue to play grade cricket for this great club.
Green Shield is an excellent introduction to senior grade cricket and I want to thank the senior club, Head Coach Murray Creed, First Grade skipper Greg Clarence, Practice Captain Barry Clarence and all the senior playing group for making the boys feel so welcome at senior grade training sessions. The opportunity for these young men to mix it with the senior group is a huge benefit to them.
I would also like to thank the parents for all their support, for helping out with the lunches, for scoring and most importantly for giving us the space and freedom to keep the campaign in a high performance environment.
I’d like to also thank the two country representative players, Jack Allen and Tom Atlee, for their efforts regarding travel and commitment. Both of these boys played a huge role in the team.
Congratulations goes to Nikshep Mekala who was our Green Shield Player of the Year and was also recently rewarded with selection in the NSW Metropolitan Under 16 State Challenge side.
And finally a huge thank you to Glen McCanna - Glen gave up his time to manage the team and was a huge help to everybody involved.
With the success and improvement of the team this season I am hoping to build up the team even further next season. We have a good group coming through and I am confident with continued improvement and development we can be a force in this competition for years to come.

Unlike most sporting teams, the first stated objective of the Easts Masters is not Masters Report necessarily to win. If that happens it is a happy by-product of getting together with friends to play a game we love. As fate (and good play) would have it, season 2016/17 will always be remembered fondly for this team as we went through the year undefeated. Maybe that says more about the opposition than us but a winning record of 4 – 0 is good numbers in anyone’s language.
Game One was against the gentlemen of Izingari, played for the first time at the historic Camden Park. When we eventually arrived we were greeted with a very rural setting of silos and grazing cows and the delightful aromas of “chook shed” drifting from the clucking structure less than 100 metres from the “dressing sheds”.
Izingari batted first and compiled a very daunting 196 from their 35 overs. On a tough day for the bowlers on a very docile wicket, only the evergreen John “Fountain of Youth” Field and the bustling Rino Tomasiello made inroads, with two wickets each.
Our chase started well with Mr Reliable, Lachie Gillespie, peeling off a well made half-century and his co-worker and opening partner Anthony Field making a gritty 28. Wickets fell but when you can build a team around Dan Baffsky at number 4 it means you needn’t worry in such situations. He made a regulation 54 before retiring himself and leaving myself (23 not out) and Rob Arnott (4 not out) to bring us home.
One thing to note was that we had an unlikely number of musicians in this team – two Wiggles, a bandleader, a session musician and an Australian electro house legend. Just on “Black Angus” McDonald – that was the best way to describe his mood after being fired LBW after making good contact between bat and ball. One from one.
Next up it was the annual fixture for the Frank Smith Memorial Shield against old foes the True Believers at Waverley Oval. The visitors have never won this clash and we all anticipated a much stronger showing from them after a dedicated recruitment drive in the off-season.
74 Believers batted first and after five overs were 3-10 – recruitment drive in tatters. Their middle order recovered and they finished with a respectable 158 from their 35 overs. Of the nine bowlers used, 7 of them took wickets in a strong team performance.
Two new openers for the Masters, but good Easts Clubmen in John Harris and John McCallum got us away to a brisk start with 0-49 after 8 overs until Harris was dismissed. Slogging. Which won’t surprise anyone. This brought Wayne Geber to the crease who was unavailable for the first game due to a prior appointment (UFC 205 featuring Alvarez v McGregor was on that Sunday). Wayne completely dismantled the Believers attack, retired on 50 and vowed that in the next game he would wear long pants. The target was reached comfortably with nearly 10 overs to spare. Two from two.
Next up was the Reg Bartley XI at picturesque Reg Bartley Oval. On what could only be described as the slowest outfield I have ever played on, the Masters managed 133 from our allotted 35 overs. Everyone contributed but special mention to John “Fountain of Youth” Field who top scored with 21 not out with a size 5 bat. Stunning. The other highlight of the innings was Dan Baffsky knocking back a ticket to the Australian Open men’s tennis final to play out the game with his teammates. Don’t worry Dan, I am sure there will be another Federer v Nadal, match of the gods, five set epic that you can get to shortly.
Good judges suggested that our 133 was worth 220 on this field. Not sure if that was correct, but it proved more than enough as Reg Bartley were dismissed for 69. John “Fountain of Youth” Field made it a Man of the Match double with 3-13. One disappointing factor was the performance of renowned First Grade stalwart and club Assistant Coach Steve Green. Perhaps some net practise for his first game next year (if selected) wouldn’t go astray. It is also worth mentioning that approximately 6 overs into our bowling innings Wayne Geber started talking about an undefeated season – I love the way he never gets ahead of himself W! Three from three.
Final game of the season was set to be our biggest test – v The Wiggles at Waverley Oval. There were a number of big name recruits in Beau Ryan and some defectors in Lachie Gillespie and Anthony Field. All of these understandable. What wasn’t understandable was the appearance of John “Fountain of Youth” Field in the opposition team.
John’s connection to the Wiggles is well known but the lengths that he went to ensure the transfer were elaborate to say the least – forcing wife Jacqui to send a long and heartfelt note about the state of John’s heart after a collapse midweek. Team Management of the Masters agreed with Jacqui that he shouldn’t play for us – and as a result we were unprepared to see him lining up for the opposition just 7 days after his “incident”. Not only that but he was opening the bowling! Picture this – a distressed Jacqui watching sideline, standing next to a defibrillator as “Fountain of Youth” “charged” in to bowl the first ball of the day’s play.
Needless to say our batsmen couldn’t get enough of Field – I am still trying to work out if it was the pull shot in the first over or the cover drive in Field’s third over that I enjoyed most – and he finished with 0-29 from just 4 overs. This match saw another ex “leaguie” dominate. In much the same fashion as Beau Ryan had a year earlier, Ryan Cross showed little leniency on the Wiggles bowling scoring a scintillating 50 retired.
It seemed that 166 would be too much for the Wiggles and that was exactly the case. Best of the bowlers was Black Angus McDonald who turned back the clock with a neat 3-16. And there it was – four from four and the undefeated season had been delivered.
Easts Masters has now been playing since the 2008/09 season – 9 seasons in total. The strength comes from the enjoyment we have for the game and the contact it allows us to keep with the Club and with each other in our otherwise busy lives. Long may it continue.
JIMMY SMITH
75 JUNIORS REPORT
The ESCC Juniors had yet another fantastic year with some 700+ youngsters participating for the Club from in2CRICKET through to Under 16s.
A big thanks to all coaches, managers and parents for their participation in the Club this year. The work required to put some 30+ teams on the pitch every week requires significant effort and we are very grateful for your contributions.
I would like to particularly thank Liz Thorp for her time, dedication and ideas in growing the Junior club. I would also like to recognise the dedication of Peter Sciberras, Iain Dunstan, Nick Theodorakopoulos, Jonathan Seward and particularly Peter McIntyre for their participation on the SEJCA Committee.
Thanks and recognition also go to our age coordinators, Sharyn Smith (T20), Michael Herlihy (U9), Matt Anderson (U10), Iain Dunstan (U11), Josh Lasky (U12), Mark Hodgson (U13) and Jack Ford (Girls). On behalf of all parents, we thank you!
The South-East Junior Cricket Association (SEJCA) in conjunction with Cricket NSW and Cricket Australia adopted new formats across the U9, U10 and U11 age groups. The new formats (reduced team sizes, shorter pitches and faster turn-around in batters) are proving very successful. Cricket Australia is introducing the new formats across all age groups over the coming years and the Club continues to be in discussion with Cricket NSW to ensure that we allow for rapid adoption of the changes without impacting nor diminishing the experiences and skills that our cricketers have achieved to date.
In their second year with the Club our U13 Girls T20 team made their first grand final! Those of you who managed to get to Waverley on a Friday evening to watch the girls play will have witnessed the great energy and spirit in which cricket should be played.
Club Competition
This year SEJCA merged the U13, U14, U15 and U16 competitions with the Inner West Harbour association ensuring broader competition across these age groups. Additionally, there was a mixture of T20, limited overs and two day matches across these age groups allowing our players to experience the challenges
76 that different styles of cricket demand. I expect that consolidation of competitions and associations will continue in the future with Cricket NSW aligning junior cricket with the wider cricketing franchise models. Playing many different teams and in different locations ensures that our cricketers continue to develop broader and deeper cricketing skills.
This year saw the Club walk away with 6 Junior premierships! Congratulations go to the U15 Dolphins, U14 Marlins, U13 Dolphins, U12 Stingrays (shared with Randwick), U11 Lightning, and U10 Piranhas teams.
The regular season provided some great team and individual results. In bowling, a number of players managed a ‘5-fa’ throughout the season (Tom Winters 5/5, Ben Revai 5/2, Corey de Wit 5/9, Conor Boland 5/20, Akshay Prasan 5/4). Freddie Holt achieved a double hat-trick!
In batting, Alex van Vugt (117*) and Max Glen (102*) struck the only centuries this season and 19 boys managed 50+. Well done to all boys. Mitchell Sciberras (52, 60), Freddie Walton (74*, 70*), Dylan Melvey (77*, 60*), Asher Learmonth (50*, 62*), Matthew Yetton (53*, 54*) and Jack Attenborough (55, 55*) scored 50+ in more than one innings.
We had a large number of boys participate in the NSWDCA representative season and we congratulate each of them on their success. We also have to thank all those players that ‘filled’ in for the representative players during the rep season. In many cases, younger players have the opportunity to step up to a higher age group and have acquitted themselves very well. Special thanks to those team managers that managed to hold their team together through what is a challenging time.
Very special congratulations go to Jack Attenborough and Campbell Pert for their selection in the U15 NSW School team that competed in the recent Australian titles. Also congratulations to Yianni Theodorakopoulos, Freddie Walton, Ben Revai, Shehan Sinnetamby, Tom Winters and Alex van Vugt for having made the U14 NSW Academy. It is rare for a single association to have 6 players selected in an age group, let alone 6 players from one club in one age group. Congratulations to Asher Learmonth for making the U13 NSW Academy squad.
77 Junior Development
Early in the season Brendan Lyon, our junior development coach, took a number of parent coaches through the basics of skills development. The evening was well regarded by all those that attended and ensured that these coaches are bringing the latest thinking to cricket development for our players.
This year we started the pre-season with a revamped Easts Junior Academy. A number of boys (U14 and up) were taken through their paces in the 4 weeks prior to the season starting. Brendan Lyon led the boys and ensured they were well placed for the commencement of the season. We will be extending the Academy to a wider audience in the coming season and will continue to focus on predominantly U14 and U16 players to prepare them for the move to Sydney Grade Cricket.
Our Wednesday afternoon aged based sessions were once again a great success. Players from across the age groups descended upon Waverley #2 where Brendan Lyon took our youngsters through specialist development skills. Both players and coaches appreciated the different insights and approaches that were applied. Our thanks go to Brendan for his coaching leadership.
TOP: PETER NEVILL WITH AWARD WINNERS
BOTTOM: NIC MADDINSON WITH MEMBERS OF THE U13 GIRLS RUNNERS UP Future planning
The Junior club will continue to develop over the coming years particularly in line with the changes defined by Cricket Australia and Cricket NSW.
Our planning for the upcoming season is already well in play and will extend the good work that the Committee has started. We will be reaching out to parents shortly to make our club stronger for the coming season and to enhance the opportunities for all our junior players.

78 This season, the in2CRICKET registrations ran solely through the new Cricket Australia in2CRICKET portal eliminating the dual registration process used in the previous season. The most significant impact of this change was the access to Cricket Australia player packs, which Report were only made available after an individual registered.
A total of three full time age coordinators were hired and a fourth when available, up from two in 2015/16. Each age coordinator became the direct contact for parents during the sessions providing assistance with the setting up and packing up of activities along with general administration.
5s – Josh Moss
6s – Angela Verniquet
7s – Erik Eklof
Assistant – Steve Green
Some of our female participants were given the opportunity to take part in the ‘Pink Day’ at the Sydney Test Match as part of the On Ground Entertainment at tea. This was a great chance for the girls to be part of the action and see for themselves what it is like to play in front of thousands of people at the SCG. Hopefully these initiatives continue to inspire the growth of females in the game and also within our club structure.
Derek the Dolphin also made several appearances this season and was a huge success with the children. We sure hope to see more of him next season.
As always, the program’s success is credited to the grade players and volunteers who assist each week with coaching. Each grade is assigned approximately three sessions 79 each. As a result, the participants are in direct contact with a team of grade players each week. This has an enormous impact on the growth and development of the future generation of Easts cricketers.
The culture the Club has created for Senior players to give back and aid in the development of the Juniors is extremely valued. The volunteers have also played a pivotal role by making themselves available to run activities and support the grade players and coordinators. We have always encouraged and fostered Cricket Australia’s vision to create an environment where all stakeholders work together to achieve the aim of instilling positive values, fun, enjoyment and skill development.
A very big thank you to Geoff de Mesquita and Andrew Taucher who have managed the masses by enticing them with ice creams and a gourmet BBQ every Saturday morning.
Thank you once again to Jim, Peter, Liz, Adrian, Tim and the entire Easts Committee for their continued support.

98 As we know, it takes a lot of people to keep the Club running smoothly, so let us APPRECIATION name some names for 2016/17!
On the Committee, thanks to Angus Palmer for his work in arranging apparel again with Liz Thorp. Angus has also maintained player records for a number of seasons. Tim Brown continues to oversee the financial health of the Club while at the same time ensures we invest sustainably in our area’s cricket.
Liz Thorp and Marcus Van Vugt have done a tonne of work with the Junior Committee along with a host of parents and helpers in the Junior ranks. Well done to all Committee members and those behind the scenes at the Club. Liz Clarence once again has coordinated in2CRICKET with great attention to detail in a season full of weather disruptions.
Thank you again to all of our generous sponsors which include a number of individuals who have provided additional support over many years. Sponsorship of the Club is always an active statement of support for the community and a willingness to enable numerous opportunities for all to play cricket. Well done to Will Roberts, Liz Thorp, Tim Brown and Peter Lovitt in particular who have continued to build and maintain relationships with our sponsors.
Fund raising through other areas is also important. The largest single event – our Sporting Legends Lunch was a big success thanks to the efforts of Liz Thorp, Will Roberts, Peter Lovitt and Tim Brown. Thanks to Jim Maxwell for placing himself in the centre of attention! It was also a great effort from the various sponsors of tables who gathered plenty of attendees.
To the “doers” out and about, we appreciate the heavy lifting you do and while there’s always more to acknowledge, special mentions go to Andrew Taucher and David Smyth who tirelessly attend to the grounds, Geoff de Mesquita who continually goes above and beyond expectations in and around the canteen and Tony Adams who lends a hand whenever possible.
We also recognise Angus Palmer and George Black who have indicated they will not captain 3rd and 5th Grade next season respectively. Both Angus and George have led a series of high-performing teams over many seasons and have left big shoes to fill! To our other Easts Captains, thank you for the extra responsibilities that you took on board this season.
A particular call out for Darcy Matthews in his debut season for the Club taking on the 6th Grade Captaincy no less. In leading a diverse squad of players, Darcy headed the batting aggregates in the Metro Cup with 443 runs at 40.3.
Last but not least, our Members! To the players, your commitment on and off the field representing the Club is appreciated and to our non-players, your support financially, at the game and at other events is always welcome.
CHARLES CHU AND MARK MORAN PETER LOVITT, ANDREW TAUCHER, DAVID SMYTH, TONY ADAMS
