Once you have momentum it can become an irresistible force. In a sporing sense you only need to look at Western Bulldogs and Richmond in the AFL and Philadelphia in the NBL. At the end of last season, all momentum at PCC ground to a halt as we changed Men’s Head Coach, commenced the new season with a Committee of only 5 members and a caretaker President. Since that there has been an amazing amount of work undertaken behind the scenes to get the wheels turning again and 12 months later, there is a true sense that the momentum is returning and gathering significant pace. This message is about acknowledging and thanking those that have played such a significant part in the re-emergence of the Prahran Cricket Club. Without you all, it is scary to think where we may have been. I want to start with thanking all of the players, men and women for their support of the Prahran Cricket Club during this season just past. We managed to maintain all of our key players and at different times of the year, there were some outstanding results that gives you the sense that if we can get all the cogs in the wheel turning in the same direction and syncing with each other, then something special is not too far away. Towards the end of the season we could see some great signs amongst ‘generation next’ in the men’s side of the club. Shaun Miller continues to show that he can be something special at this level and go beyond. After a great apprenticeship in the 2’s, Nick King showed that he has the class and ability to be a great player, Sam Grimwade continues to grow, Blake Parsons showed us his all-round talent, the Dog showed he still has plenty of tricks and Stephen Seymour showed why he has played 200 games of Premier 1st X1 games. Thanks to new skipper Nathan McNally for taking charge of the team. It is never an easy thing to step up into such a role and leading guys that have been, up until then, your team mates. I am sure there was lots of learning during this period that will help make Nathan even stronger in the future. There were similar great signs in the women’s teams. With half of our 1st X1 side out of the team on representative duties for a fair chunk of the season, we saw the senior players such a Kath Hempenstall and Bron Dawes, plus Erica Kershaw, helping guide a group of new players into the club. There are so many promising signs and when you see a 13-year-old debut in the 1st X1, you know you have momentum and when you see Jaide Anthony win the Premier Cricket Junior Player of the Year, you know that you are doing a lot right. Congratulations to Emma Inglis, Alana King, Annabel Sutherland and Gemma Triscari on their selection in the Premier Cricket Team of the Year, we are all incredibly proud of you. Thank you to Dave Williams for his work on the Girls development Squad which involved a whole heap of winter sessions plus Wednesdays with the Senior Group and Friday nights with game time. This is a wonderful initiative and is helping to quickly develop the girls and ready them for 1st X1 cricket and beyond. A special thanks to all the parents of the girls who helped so much throughout the season. As an example, covers can be a challenge at the best of time and we were so grateful of the many times that the parents pitched in and helped. This is what a club is all about and you all showed outstanding leadership. To our Coaches, men’s and women’s, a huge thank you. Barry Neivandt returned to the club and had to meet and learn about a whole new playing group and coaching panel. Thank you also to his team of assistants Bryce McGain, Dimitri Mascarenhas, Ben Puzny, Ajay Bhatt, Darren Warne and Vamsy Doddala. The time, effort and expertise you gave us is greatly appreciated by all.
