SACA, following CA’s sensible decision to put a halt to all cricket competitions across Australia, have announce that the minor premiers of each competition, in the absence of finals, will be crowned premiers. It is with great joy that we can officially announce that our Women’s 1st Grade have won another premiership. This is the club’s 4th since the competition began in 2007/08, following previous wins in 08/09, 12/13 & 17/18. A great reward for a great team effort lead by (new) Head Coach Manning McInerney, his able assistant Sy Massey and team Captain Jess Joseph. While we are extremely happy to see the Women awarded the Premiership, we share in the Men’s 2nd Grade & U16 Red’s disappointment that they were not able to battle it out for their respective premierships with the cancellation of finals. Our 16 Reds were on an 8-game winning streak, including beating the eventual premier. Coach Liam Dorward, who has continued to impress with his commitment to our club and attention to detail, was very confident that we would have performed extremely well and were a huge chance to take out the title after being runner up in the T20 comp. Our Men’s 2nd Grade would have felt very confident after storming into the finals with an outright victory (one of 3 for the season) in the final round with (our new Treasurer) Ben Williams leading the charge with bat & ball and Nick Crouch showing some great leadership qualities after taking on the captaincy role post-Christmas. To the subject of junior development, following a request from 14s Coach (and club stalwart) David Rex, we had the pleasure of having Jen Wallace, fresh from helping out with the England Women’s T20 World Cup Squad, come and run some specialist wicket keeping coaching sessions for our junior keepers. On top of our usual training sessions this year we had 21 junior players attend the new, self-funded WT Junior Academy during summer. It saw players doing up to 14 weekly small group sessions under the watchful eyes of club Coach Mark Harrity, Brenton Woolford and guest coaches including Redback squad members Tim Oakley & Spencer Johnson, Lehmann Academy player Johnny Pears and senior players Jess Joseph & Jarrad Hoskin. A number of these Academy participants have shown some very encouraging signs of improvement and has led us to start the process of organising a similar styled Winter Academy. I encourage all parents to get your children involved, as we see it as a very important tool to really progress our players and in turn the club itself. Off field, the pursuit of new changerooms continues with the builder recently having a conference day in court with the council to further discuss where the new unisex changerooms will best be positioned. With recent global events, I’m not sure what impact they will have on the process but rest assured there has already been a grant approved (and delivered) so we are very confident that they will go ahead. We are also awaiting the announcement of the outcome of the grant application to help fund the lighting and training facility upgrade. Again world events have possibly put these type of items back a little but we are confident in what was proposed and hope to have some input once normality resumes.
