I would also like to thank my immediate predecessor, Nathan Tilbury, who sought my return to the Executive during his term as President. Of course, the Association is not run by one person and to this end I wish to thank my two Vice Presidents, Bruce Parker & Bill White, and Treasurer Tim Davidson for their work and support over the last year. Bruce, Bill and Tim make up the balance of the Association’s Office Bearers and, while not openly visible in these roles, are the base around whom our Association is built and are a sound source of advice for the President. I also wish to thank Gavin Wingfield (Senior competitions), Bruce Kimberley (Junior competitions) and Bruce Parker (Representative teams) for their dedication and tireless efforts, and those of their committees, that have ensured these areas ran extremely well and have made my first year as President considerably easier. Providing cricket competitions for the participation of members of our communities is our primary responsibility and between these three groups more than 2,000 matches have been organised this season. Thank you also to Geoff Hasler (Umpire’s Association), Bruce Wood (Coaches Association) and Edwina Chappel (Girl’s Association). I look forward to the further success and growth within these affiliated bodies in years to come. Other cricket Associations across Sydney, and beyond, are envious of our success in these areas. Thanks to Roger Friend for his work as Minutes Secretary and to our committee members Scott Burrows, who also took on the challenging role of Disputes and Disciplinary Chairman and was provided with several difficult cases to manage in his first season, Andrew Miedler and Mitch Burger. I would also like to express my thanks to our Executive Officer, Craig Menzies, whose work in undertaking many different aspects of the day-to-day operations of the Association, both internally and externally, is rarely recognised. Craig is an extraordinary asset to the Association, his performance in this vital supporting role to the Executive is greatly appreciated by those with whom he works directly. The patience he displays while dealing with the vast array of personalities across the Executive, our member clubs, affiliates, sponsors and councils, many of whom are pushing for their own matters to be addressed as an immediate priority, is of immeasurable benefit to the Association. 2015/16 was another successful year for the Association. If you were to identify one single statistic that defines the success of a cricket Association, then it would the number of teams playing in its competitions. On this basis alone HK&HDCA has a great deal to be proud of with junior team numbers in 2015/16 increasing by 21 teams (16% growth) from 128 teams in 2014/15 to 149 teams this season. While many of these teams are in the Under 8 to Under 10 age groups (72 teams) there has been a consistent retention of teams numbers throughout the age groups up to Under 15s. The senior competition has retained team numbers at 78 between the Saturday and Sunday competitions. This provides the Association with a very strong base for the growth of both Junior and Senior competitions in the years ahead. It is also pleasing to see those clubs that in recent years have put in the hard work to establish their grassroots by starting a Milo In2Cricket centre are now enjoying the flow of these players into our Junior competitions. Clubs that have done this very successfully in recent seasons include Glenorie, St Ives Wahroonga and Asquith Rugby League. Congratulations to Normanhurst-Warrawee who won the Senior Club Championship in a photo finish ahead of West Pennant Hills Cherrybrook and also to Hornsby District who won the Junior Club Championship. Congratulations to the 2015/16 Senior Competition Premiers, Asquith Rugby League (A Grade), Mt Colah (A Reserve Grade), Kissing Point (B Grade), Lankan Islanders (B Reserve Grade), West Pennant Hills Cherrybrook (C Grade), Normanhurst-Warrawee (C Reserve Grade), Normanhurst-Warrawee (C 3 Grade), West Pennant Hills 2 HK&HDCA PRESIDENT’S REPORT – 2015 / 16 SEASON: Continued Cherrybrook (C4 Grade), Berowra (D Grade), St Ives (D Reserve Grade) and West Pennant Hills Cherrybrook (Sunday competition). Congratulations also to the 2015/16 Junior competition Premiers, West Pennant Hills Cherrybrook Green (Under 11), Hornsby District (Under 12), Thornleigh (Under 13), Kenthurst Upper Hills (Under 14), Hornsby District (Under 15) and the combined team from Normanhurst-Warrawee & Pennant Hills (Under 16). The Kimbo Cup was won by Mt Colah Under 15s. The Senior T20 competitions were won by Sydney Lions (Triforce Cup – Division 1) in their debut season in that competition, Mt Colah (Division 2), Beecroft (Division 3), West Pennant Hills Cherrybrook - Blue Division 4 and Thornleigh (Division 5). It is a true reflection of the depth of talent being developed in all clubs that, across the eleven Senior competitions there were eight individual clubs represented and across the six competitive Junior age divisions and the composite Kimbo Cup, seven clubs are represented as winners. The senior T20 competitions were won by five different clubs. HK&HDCA is also looking to further develop opportunities for our girl cricketers. This season saw the inclusion of a Girls Development Officer into HK&HDCA’s constitution to which Edwina Chappel was elected. Edwina will be working closely with clubs and schools within our area to help more girls come through the system as well as assisting with the development of a clear pathway for any girls wishing to go further in the sport of cricket. For 2016/17 the Association is looking to further expand our offering for Girls cricket and Edwina will continue to oversee the growth in this area. At the Representative level it is a challenge to be measured against recent successes and while not able to repeat the outstanding results of recent years we did return some very strong performances across the age groups. Congratulations to our NSWDCA Under 23 Telegraph Cup team and IDCA Presidents Cup Under 16 Andrew Blamey Cup team on becoming Premiers in their competitions. In addition to these wins we also had teams reach the semi-finals in the Gee Shield (Under 13), where they were unfortunate not to progress with a tied result, and the Qualifying Finals in the Foster Shield (Under 10). The high quality of cricket played in our junior competitions and our junior representative results in recent years have been noticed at other levels of cricket in our local area with a number of recently graduated HK&HDCA juniors being heavily involved with the Northern District Grade Club. We can be very proud of the healthy relationship we have developed with our local grade club and it is pleasing that we can share in each other’s success because of our strong links. While not winning a premiership this season Northern District were minor premiers in both 4th Grade and Green Shield. In recognition of the leadership provided at the Club, Northern District captains won three of the five Sydney Cricket Association Captain of the Year awards for 1st Grade (Chris Green), 2nd Grade (Dan Friedrich) and 4th Grade (Ryan Bolger). I would also like to take this opportunity to thank the Association’s sponsors that have played a significant role in our growth, development and success at all levels of the Association: • Hornsby RSL • Kookaburra Sport • Triforce Sports • Eylex (Rep. Cricket sponsor) • Commonwealth Bank Hornsby (Girls Cricket sponsor) I ask that you continue to support those who so generously support the HK&HDCA. Thanks also to our three local Councils (Hornsby Shire Council, Hills Shire Council and Ku-ring-gai Municipal Council) that host our Association’s matches on their grounds. Once again they provided quality grounds for our Senior and Junior competitions and for our Representative teams. 3 HK&HDCA PRESIDENT’S REPORT – 2015 / 16 SEASON: Continued The 2015/16 season saw two new grounds for the Association. The Old Dairy site at Brooklyn was developed by Hornsby Council to become our first new senior competition ground in more than 20 years.
