John Corish President 2 PRESIDENT’S REPORT Season 2009-2010 has been another very successful season as the club continues to build and develop. Highlights: • Retaining the HK&HDCA Junior Club Championship. We have now won this award on four occasions, including the last two seasons. • The NWCC in2CRICKET program being invited to attend the SCG in January and share a training session with the Australian team as they prepared for their one day international against the West Indies. • Fielding 22 teams – 7 in seniors, 8 in junior competitive competitions (U11 to U16s) & 7 in junior modified competitions. To have a junior semi-finalist in every age group is a phenomenal leap from only a few years ago when we couldn’t field a side at every age level. • 34 players playing representative cricket for HK&HDCA • Premierships to the U12s, who completed the season undefeated, and the Colts (Under 19s) teams. • A NWCC U14 team reaching the final of the CricketNSW Michael Clarke T20 competition, which was played at the SCG in February. Although being defeated on the day, this experience will be one that the boys will cherish forever. The U12 T20 team also did fantastically well, being narrowly defeated in the semi-final played at the new Blacktown Olympic Stadium in late January. • Anthony Maxworthy becoming the seventh life member of Normanhurst Sports Club, Cricket Division. Anthony presided over the club for 5 seasons from 2001-02 until 2005-06, and has been substantially involved in the club ever since. Much of the present strength and success of the club can be attributed to Maxi’s efforts and achievements over the years. The major challenge ahead for the club is to be able to again field a strong side in the HK&HDCA A grade competition. With the retirement of a number of senior players over the last couple of seasons, the decision was made at the start of the 2009-2010 season to not enter a side at this level, and focus on rebuilding our club strength through the Colts competition. With this aim having been achieved with a premiership, we are on track to be able to return to the top grade. The other perennial weakness of the club is the availability of facilities in the local area. With the pitch area of Normanhurst Oval to be replaced prior to the start of next season, we need to use the opportunity to redevelop the net facilities at the same time, whilst also gaining access to additional grounds and net facilities for practice. A huge vote of appreciation to all those volunteers who have contributed to the running of the club over the last twelve months. The Committee has seen a small bunch of very hard working people doing a fantastic job for the benefit of all the members. Captains, coaches and team managers have done another great job in what can often be a long, arduous and thankless task – but where would we be without you? I encourage more people to get involved and continue to develop a wonderful cricket club.
