Premiership Winning Captains – David Townsend & Dean White

Simon Katich

Season 2005-06 will be remembered by Simon as one of his most challenging. Having

played in the 1st Test against the West Indies in Australia following the Ashes tour, he

was omitted from the remainder of that series and for the three match series against

South Africa.

He was selected however, in the Australian One Day International (ODI) team and

despite being continually under pressure, he has retained his place with some good

performances at the top of the order. His best was his undefeated century in the VB

Series final at the Gabba against Sri Lanka to give Australia a come-from-behind victory

in the competition after losing the first of the three finals.

He subsequently made tours of South Africa and Bangladesh scoring an important 79 in

the ODI against South Africa now billed as the “Greatest ODI Of All”. In that match the

South Africans chased down Australia’s massive world record 434 with a ball to spare.

He also played well in Bangladesh where he remained undefeated on 42 in the third of

three ODI’s as he and newcomer Mark Cosgrove chased down the target for the loss of

just one wicket.

Simon’s record in ODI’s stands at an impressive1,232 runs at 37.33 from 41 matches

while he has scored 1,260 runs at 36.00 in 23 Test Matches.

Congratulations are also in order for both Simon and Georgie who were married in May.

President’s Report It is with great honour and pride that I present to you the fifth President’s Report of Randwick Petersham Cricket.

What a season 2005-06 was! Who could have possibly imagined that we would end up with two

premierships after a season in which we were scratching our heads for most of it. Cricket might be a funny

game but it just shows that it’s not over until Dame Nellie Melba sings! And sing she did come finals time!

Premiers in 4th and 5th Grades. I love the sound of that. It goes well with our 2nd Grade win last year and our 3rd Grade cup the year before and our first 4th Grade trophy the year before that. Five premierships in

five years as a new club was certainly beyond my expectations when we kicked off in 2001-02. It just goes to show that we must be doing something right!

Congratulations to the two skippers, David Townsend and Dean White. The first premiership for each of them as skipper and for Dean, his first Final let alone first premiership in 16 years of Grade cricket! And

what about “the Prince” Greg Hartshorne! Each year I seem to be congratulating him on a premiership and here I am doing it again this year! Four cups in four years for Greg, the first three as captain. What a

performance. What a record. Well done once again “Prince”.

It’s interesting to think that our three premiership captains, Greg, David and Dean have a common

thread…and its not that they all used to play for Petersham Marrickville. It’s a little thing called experience. Nothing beats experience and I believe it’s that very thing that has rubbed off on their teams to get us home

in the tight games, which inevitably has led to our competition wins. We are very fortunate to have such

experienced players looking after our youngsters. It reads well for the club’s future.

After the way we had performed in our first four years we had expected to do a lot better in the Club Championship than finish 16th this season. A disappointment, but then again, maybe just a little hiccup

along the way to greater honours. One thing I have learned about life and cricket is to take the good with the bad. When you think where we finished yet won two premierships…our best year…it was a pretty good

outcome.

The problem for us this season was of course, the poor performance of our 1st Grade team. A number of

changes to the team from the previous season were forced on the side and while we are sure to benefit in the long term, the short term pain was just something we had to live through. We were in rebuilding mode

and while that takes time to achieve, it creates important opportunities along the way. With the experience

gained this year by those young players who had the taste of 1st Grade cricket, I’m sure we will see an enthusiastic and rejuvenated team next summer.

But of course next summer we won’t have my old mate Richard Chee Quee or Paul Toole who have hung up

their boots. They have been the mainstay of the batting for a long time and we are certainly going to miss their presence. What a sensational player “Cheeqs” has been. Always the entertainer with a bat in his hand,

his records in Sydney Grade Cricket are likely to stand the test of time. He finishes as one of the greatest

scorers of runs that the competition has ever produced while “Tooley” will remain one of our most consistent batsmen and the man who almost led our team to a 1st Grade premiership two seasons back. Paul also has

the distinction of being the club’s first 1st Grade captain and the number 1 ‘baggy green” cap holder. With “Cheeqs” to be married next year and “Tooley” a real family man these days, on behalf of all of us, I offer

them both our sincere thanks and best wishes.

As two good players step down another is about to step up. I refer to young Usman Khawaja who this

season was voted the player of the national Under 19 Championships. He also won selection in the Australian team, which played with distinction in the Under 19 years World Cup in Sri Lanka. I can see

young Usman pulling on the Baggy Blue cap of NSW very shortly. He is special.

While we didn’t get to see much of Simon Katich this season we followed his fortunes at Test and

International level with much interest. He had a bit of a topsy-turvy season but he is such a good player I’ll be surprised if he’s not soon back in the Test side as well as the Australian ODI team. Simon and girlfriend

Georgie were married last May and we wish them well for their future life together.

7

Apart from our premiership winning 4’s and 5’s, we performed well in other competitions. Defending

Premiers 2nd Grade had a very slow start and this no doubt cost them a place in the finals, missing out by less than one win. They lost only one match after Christmas. I also like the look of young Peter Alevizos who

headed up the attack in 2’s and made the NSW Under 17 years team this season. We again made the Semi

Finals in the A W Green Shield competition while our 6th Grade team, RP Green, made the Final of the Metropolitan Shield competition. A good effort from both sides.

Third Grade didn’t have the best of seasons but it was terrific to see James Le Huray named as 3rd Grade

captain of the year. Not bad for his first time in the role. Our under 21 boys did well in the Poidevin Gray comp, falling away just a little with a couple of games to go. There was plenty of talent in the team and

most of them will still be eligible next season. We could be a big hope in that competition in the not-too-

distant future.

When we talk of what we have achieved in our first five years, we must have particular regard for the wonderful sponsors we have backing the club. Without their involvement we would be nowhere near where

we are now. Major sponsor Petersham RSL has been a tower of strength in providing us with an enormous

amount of support and assistance. The Randwick Rugby Club has also provided much needed financial support while Phil Green, on behalf of Babcock & Brown, funded our Player Incentives Scheme and the

Player of the Season Award. All sponsors whether large or small, can feel well satisfied with their contribution to the development of the club and its players. Their ongoing generosity is matched only by

their courtesy and friendship. Many thanks to you all.

I would also like to pay tribute to our mayors and councils for their ongoing support and assistance. Our

playing facilities are up there with those of the better clubs in Sydney and are a real incentive for us to attract and develop young players. The fact the Sydney Cricket Association awarded qualifying finals to

Coogee and Kensington plus a Semi Final and Final to Coogee is a clear indication of their standard and value to Sydney Grade cricket. In fact it’s hard to imagine a better looking cricket ground than the way

Coogee Oval was presented for the 4th Grade Final. It certainly wasn’t anything like that when I played

there! Tony and the Green Options team have done wonders with the ground and it’s a credit to them.

The amazing success and development of the club over the past five years is a true reflection of the hard work and expertise of a dedicated band of administrators. Heading that group is our CEO Ray Stafford, who

is one of the best in the business. All the right vibes about Ray are coming from the SCA offices and it is

clear he is highly regarded in Sydney Grade Cricket circles. I know I am repeating myself when I say Ray is the ultimate professional when it comes to cricket administration, but the work he does for the club cannot

and should not be underestimated. His contribution this season was again just awesome! We cannot thank you enough, Ray.

We again had a very active committee. Wayne Mulherin’s work as grounds co-ordinator has been first class

and we will experience the benefits of further improvements, especially at Petersham Oval, in the new

season. David Townsend once again did the hard yards ensuring our sponsorship portfolio fulfilled our requirements and those of our sponsors. He coupled that job with the demanding role of Junior

Development where his experience in that area indicated what a valuable asset he is to the club. Bernie Dagg again looked after the club’s finances with a particular level of expertise while Tony Martin’s

contribution as Assistant CEO proved of great value to the club.

Alan Wright has been a bit of an unsung hero in the success of the club. Five years ago, Alan was in the thick of things in bringing the merger about, having successfully turned the tide against the NSW Board’s

plan to axe both Randwick and Petersham Marrickville from the competition. This season Alan has just completed his fifth term in the extremely important and demanding job of Chairman of Selectors and of the

Grading Committee. The fact we have won five premierships in that period is testimony to Alan’s success in the role. He was also instrumental in having Green Options take over the preparation of Coogee, Kensington

and Snape ovals and we all know how well they have turned out. If anyone is entitled to take a bow after

our first five years, it has to be Alan Wright. Thank you Alan. I know what you do for the club comes from the heart.

Committeeman David Holland again did a fantastic job with our young blokes in the 6th Grade competition

and in fact, had an active role in the management and day to day running of the Metropolitan competition. I

know he gets a real kick out of seeing the youngsters progress, and I take my hat off to him. Just as I take it off to Chris “Fous” Sullivan who completed his fifth year as our “fun man” in looking after our social

calendar. The Annual Dinner was again a great event and a tribute to Fous’ organisation.

Greg Hartshorne had a bit of a “breather” this season in terms of formal roles but continued on the

committee and ended up providing valuable assistance in many areas of the club, not the least of which was junior development, the club cricket clothing and the A W Green Shield team. At association level, we were

represented by Peter Wright (NSWCA and SCA) and CEO Ray Stafford (SCA) while Peter also took over the

role of Chairman of the club’s Foundation. Publicity was a bit of an issue this season and it was great to see John McLoughlin and Nigil Singh chipping in with weekly match reports. This is an area we need to

concentrate on next season.

When you look at the number of volunteers who stepped up when we kicked off five years ago who would have thought that today we would still have that same strong contingent of people prepared to give of their

time and energy for the club. But that’s the fact of the matter. We keep saying they are the lifeblood of the

club and to this day, never was a truer word spoken. I know we are the envy of other clubs in terms of our volunteers and that’s just the way I would like to see it stay! Hardly a Saturday goes past when I don’t

marvel at the contribution of our wonderful and “very famous” tea ladies at Petersham Oval. Pat, Helen and Robin have collectively passed the 150 years mark in club service, which surely has to be a world record!

Well done one and all.

Our coaching staff had another good season under the direction of Director of Coaching Bill Anderson and

Club Coach Peter Devlin. We are fortunate to have so much experience within our coaching ranks and it has clearly shown through in the player’s performances. The absence of Petersham Oval as a training venue

created certain difficulties but the good news is it will be back on deck next season. But what a coup to have the great D. K. Lillee at one of our training sessions! It’s not often the great man will do something like that

and I am very grateful to him for giving of his time. A wonderful moment for the club.

I am pleased to be able to report that there were no incidents of bad behaviour this season and in fact the

club finished 4th in the overall Spirit of Cricket standings. In 2nd Grade we actually headed the competition. Clearly the ideals of trust, respect and humility I have been ramming into everyone since I became

President, have been getting through. They are principles which I learnt the hard way but live by these

days. I can’t emphasise their importance enough and accordingly, commend them to everyone in the club.

In conclusion may I just say how proud and humble I feel to have presided over one of the greatest turnarounds in Sydney Grade Cricket history. To see two struggling clubs come together with such purpose

and in such harmony to achieve what has been achieved in five short years is just mind-boggling. I think it’s

fair to say that none of us expected such a positive outcome in such a short time notwithstanding we were all prepared at the time of the merger to put in and give it our best shot. Everyone associated with Randwick

Petersham can feel proud of our achievements to date. And of course, there’s plenty more to come! Just watch the next five years!!

REPORT OF THE MANAGEMENT COMMITTEE

Ladies and Gentlemen, It is with great pleasure that I present to you the Fifth Annual Report of the Management Committee of the Randwick Petersham Cricket Club. The highlight of season 2005-06 was the winning, for the first time, of two premierships in the same year, with our 4th Grade and 5th Grade teams each taking out the trophy. This is now our fifth premiership in five seasons since the amalgamation. Our AW Green Shield team was beaten in the Semi Final and our “Gold” 6th Grade team was beaten in the Final. The Fourth Grade team was captained by "young" David Townsend, who picked up his first premiership as Captain. Dean White, after playing Sydney Grade cricket for 16 seasons, took part in his first Final and led his team to victory, with the side compiling 10 wins in a row to win the premiership. Well done to David and Dean. The “evergreen” Greg Hartshorne also picked up his fourth premiership in four years as a member of the 4th Grade side as did popular team manager John Connell. We had a disappointing drop to 16th place in the coveted Club Championship, after finishing 3rd the previous season. This was mainly due to the poor performance of our 1st Grade team, which only won three games all season. The Manly-Warringah club were runaway winners of the Club Championship. The First Grade team finished 19th this season, only avoiding the “wooden spoon” on quotient with the Parramatta club taking out that unwanted prize. The team did not win a game until February losing or drawing 14 games in a row. The 1st Grade Limited Overs side, after making the semi-finals the previous season, finished last in the competition, not winning a single game. However, the team managed to win three of the last four games and send Richard Chee Quee into retirement with a win in his final game for the club. The loss of Matthew Mott from last season was a major blow, as the batsmen struggled to post competitive totals. The batting lacked consistency, with the team being dismissed for under 150 on some eight occasions and only passing 300 once during the season. Richard Chee Quee (601 runs) and Joseph Hill (528 runs) were the only batsman to pass 500 runs. In the bowling department, Andrew Harrison was the leading wicket taker with 37 wickets. I wish Richard Chee Quee all the best in his retirement. Richard has been a loyal servant to both the old Randwick Club and Randwick Petersham in a career spanning more than 20 seasons. Second Grade finished the season within a win of making the finals, which was a great result considering they were in 16th place at the Christmas break. They only lost one game after Christmas, in a close encounter against UTS Balmain at Ryde Oval. Had they have made the finals, who knows what may have happened? The team had the confidence and form to go all the way. The side had a good blend of experience and youth and a "never give-up attitude". The best performers with the bat were Matthew Taylor (433 runs) and John McLoughlin (428 runs). In the bowling, Peter Alevizos (21 wickets) and Rodney Stafford (19 wickets) were the leading wicket takers. Peter Alevizos, who played AW Green Shield the previous season, came of age and is destined to play 1st Grade in the future. In a pleasing result, the 2nd Grade team won the SCA “Spirit of Cricket Award” which was judged by the umpires and opposition captains. At the conclusion of the last game, evergreen Paul Toole announced his retirement. This was typical of Paul - no fuss or attention. Paul has been a great clubman since joining Randwick from Bathurst in the early nineties. Paul has a tremendous record with the club both as a player and as a captain, and it is only fitting that he was Capped No.1 for Randwick Petersham. Everyone associated with the club wishes Paul all the best in his retirement. "Tooley" you are a true Randwick Petersham "Champion Bloke" and we wish you and your family every success in the future! The Third Grade side was still in the hunt for the finals at the Christmas break. However, a few successive losses saw them drop down the ladder and eventually finished the season in 14th place. Best performer with the bat was Steve Clarke (343 runs) while James Le Huray (21 wickets) was the leading wicket taker. In another pleasing end-of-season announcement, it was great to see James named as SCA 3rd Grade Captain of the Year in just his first season as skipper. In winning the premiership, Fourth Grade went one better than last year by beating Fairfield Liverpool in the Final at Coogee Oval. The side was also Minor Premier. The team had plenty of experience but included a number of young players. There were many fine achievements, with two centuries to skipper David Townsend and centuries to Fabian Heaton and Sean Gardner. Best performers with the bat were David Townsend (508 runs) and Sean Gardner (426 runs). The leading wicket takers were Matthew Wallis (30 wickets) and Darren McCoy (25 wickets).

10

Fifth Grade are finally Premiers after losing last year’s Semi-Final and the Final the previous two years. The victory by 5th Grade was in my view our greatest achievement of the year with a number of the young players who started the season in 6th Grade team, playing important roles during the year and also in the finals series. This team had plenty of fighting spirit led by the very experienced Dean White, who took over as captain after a record low score against Hawkesbury and did not lose a game as captain. The team won 10 in a row to win the premiership. The best performer with the bat was Matthew Hilder (440 runs) while the leading wicket takers were Ben West (28 wickets) and John Tierney (27 wickets). The Under 21 Poidevin Gray team had a much tougher year this season after making the Semi-Finals last year. The team had three overseas players and was competitive but injuries and the loss of Jade Dernbach, who returned to England at Christmas, saw the team struggle from that point. The leading run scorers were Jamie Boettiger (176 runs) and Chris Whelan (171 runs). Leading wicket takers were Jamie Boettiger (12 wickets) and Peter Alevizos (8 wickets). The Under 16 AW Green Shield team was coached by Darren McCoy and Grant Rimmer (Assistant Coach). Along with John Connell (Manager), they did a fantastic job with this side, developing them into a very competitive team. Success in this competition does not come easy and Darren and Grant put in a huge personal effort to ensure that the team was well prepared. The team won four of the seven rounds with one loss and two no-results, which qualified us into fourth place for the finals. The team lost the Semi Final against Campbelltown (the eventual winners), who have not lost a game in two seasons. Best performers with the bat were Sean Gardner (206 runs) and Will Halstead (147 runs) In the bowling department, Robert Close (14 wickets) and Khan Haretuku (13 wickets) were the leading wicket takers. Robert Close was selected in the Combined Green Shield teams. Congratulations to coaches Darren and Grant and to Manager John Connell on a very successful season. We again entered two teams in the 6th Grade Metropolitan Cricket Competition, the RP Green and RP Gold. Both teams made the final series. The Gold team made the Metro Shield Final, losing to Hawkesbury. The Green team was eliminated in the Metro Cup Semi Final. Some of these young players were promoted into grade cricket from this competition, and played an important part in the winning 5th Grade team. There were some great individual achievements in 6th Grade this season, the most notable being Graham Hinds who scored 343 runs and took 12 wickets, which made him the 6th Grade Player of the Season. Much credit for the running of this competition must go to manager David Holland and Alan Wright, who put in much personal effort. The 6th Grade competition is an important part of the club’s development program and ensures our promising young cricketers are involved in a good standard of turf cricket while awaiting the call into grade. Centuries In Grades 1 to 5, we scored 11 centuries, with David Townsend scoring two. Top Performances Top runscorer for the season was Matthew Taylor with 652 runs. Richard Chee Quee (601), Ben Chaplin (595), Ted Neaves (572), Sean Porter (552) and Fabian Heaton (542) were next best. Of the bowlers, Matthew Wallis was the leading wicket taker with 40 wickets followed by Denis Hinds (38), Andrew Harrison (37), Dean White (33) and Peter Alevizos (33). The best bowling figures in an innings was by Matthew Hilder with 7 for 45 in 5th Grade which included a hat-trick. Dean White’s 7-70 was next best. Campbell Dash and Karl Schubert each took an amazing seven dismissals in an innings as wicketkeeper in 4th Grade. Major Award Winners Congratulations to Sean Porter – Player of the Season, David Townsend – Clubman of the Year (Player) and Robin Gardner – Clubman of the Year (Non Player).

Overseas Players Jade Dernbach - 20 year old from Surrey in England, played up to the Christmas break, when he had to return home at the request of Surrey management. Jade had genuine pace and took 15 wickets in 1st Grade at 36.47 and 5 in Poidevin Gray at an average of 12. Chris Whelan - 20 year old from Middlesex in England – he played one game in 1st Grade and in 2nd Grade took 16 wickets at 27.13. Chris also scored 171 runs in Poidevin Gray and took 4 wickets. Arun Harinath - 19 year old from Surrey in England and was heavily involved with our Junior Development program. Arun played 1st and 2nd Grades scoring 359 runs at 23.93, and Poidevin Gray scoring 96 runs Paul Horton - returned for his second season in Sydney. Paul is a contracted player with Lancashire and is now getting some county games as his career develops. He has a great attitude and only wants to improve his game. Paul played 14 games in 1st Grade during the season scoring 447 runs at 27.94 with a top score 110 on a difficult Petersham wicket. Paul hopes to be back again next season. Administration Mike Whitney, our Club President. Thank you again for your leadership during the season and being there when I needed you. “Whit” you continue to be an inspiration to all of us, and your passion for the club never wavers. His continual reference to trust, respect and humility are representative of the culture we are trying to breed into our club. Tony Martin Assistant CEO and Minute Secretary, was always there to help with team administration throughout the season and with his wife Katie was heavily involved in the organising of our Annual Dinner. Alan Wright our Chairman of Selectors, has the difficult task of trying to put competitive teams on the field each week. Alan is not afraid of making the tough decisions and manages the selection process to ensure it is fair and in the best interests of the club. Alan did a particularly outstanding job in advising players of selection changes arising from late dropouts and injuries. Our various operational committees again performed with distinction due to the dedicated personnel who give of their time in making these committees the success they have been. Wayne Mulherin, Grounds Committee Chairman. Through Wayne's efforts we have continued to improve our facilities in Grade Cricket. We have new turf practice wickets at Snape Park and Petersham Oval (this coming season). Coogee Oval in the last 10 weeks of the season was the No.1 ground in Sydney Grade Cricket. While Petersham Oval was ranked last of the 1st Grade grounds this season after being 4th best last season, Wayne is working with Marrickville Council to rectify the situation. Chris Sullivan continued to organise the social events throughout the year whether it be the Annual Dinner or a BBQ after training, Chris can always be relied upon. He is currently training his good mate “Tom Moody” to help with the social functions of the club. Chris is also a member of the Annual Report Committee. David Holland, in his second year on the Management Committee, worked with Alan Wright to ensure that the 6th Grade competition continues to provide a stepping stone to grade cricket. Greg Hartshorne was again our Cricketware Coordinator and was also an AW Green Shield selector. David Townsend continued with the very important role of Sponsorship Co-ordinator and was also our Junior Development Co-ordinator. David has worked hard in a difficult environment to keep our existing sponsors and also to attract new sponsors to the club. Nigil Singh took over as Publicity Officer this season. Nigil did some great early work with the weekly match reports before John McLoughlin took over late in the season. Difficulty in getting details from captains resulted in some delay with match reports, which is an issue that will need to be addressed next season. The email communication link ensures that all players, volunteers and supporters are kept up-to-date with club issues. This position is vital for the club and we need to ensure that reports are delivered on time each week. Ross Davies again organised a very professional Golf Day at Randwick Golf Course. Ross had every area covered including the weather to ensure that the day was a memorable one. There was a field of 100+ starters, so you had better book early this year. Thank you Ross for your personal effort. Photographers - Don Arnold and Steve Smith. Thank you for your continued support and in capturing those special moments on camera, many of which appear in this report. Captains Match Reports - To Joseph Hill, Rodney Stafford, Paul Greentree, James Le Huray, David Townsend, Dean White, Steve Bright, Eddie Otto – Congratulations as we continue our 100% record in sending to the SCA the Captains Match Report on time for the last four years. Well done…a great record! Managers and Scorers - I would like to thank all the managers and scorers for their efforts during the season. Your efforts are greatly appreciated by the players and the committee. I hope to see you all back next season. Coaching We experienced a turnaround this season finishing 16th in the Club Championship after our 3rd place the previous season. Training attendance was unacceptable at times and the whole coaching program has been reviewed to ensure a more structured program in the future. Coaches need to be more organised to ensure that attendance is at an acceptable level. Bill Anderson and Peter Devlin have put in a lot of time in the off-season and we ask that players come to training with the right attitude and enjoy their training. Well done to Darren McCoy and Grant Rimmer with the AW Green Shield team.

Junior Development Officers again did a great job under the leadership of David Townsend, who manages our Junior Development Program. This is an important area for the club and one that requires all the time and effort we can provide. Our future depends on it. New Ventures in 2006-07 Randwick Petersham Cricket Academy - Darren McCoy will lead this venture as Chairman. A separate article on the Academy is included later in this report. Randwick Petersham Museum – Bobby Barter is heading this project, which will put 200 years of history of our great club on show at Petersham Oval. A separate article on the project is also contained in this report. NSWCA and SCA Peter Wright and Ray Stafford represented the club at SCA meetings, while Peter was the club’s delegate to Cricket NSW. Peter is an invaluable member of our committee, representing the club in a number of SCA and Cricket NSW matters. He is also the Chairman of the Randwick Petersham Cricket Foundation. I would like to thank Bruce Collins, SCA Chairman and his committee for their support and contribution to Grade Cricket during the season. To Roy Formica and Ian Field, thank you for your continued support and assistance during the season. Finances Finance is a major aspect of the club and Bernie Dagg has again put in a huge effort as Financial Controller. The increased costs associated with running a grade cricket club are now such that we cannot afford to take our eye off the ball. Our finances are in a sound position. We finished the season with net assets of $24,781.67 with an operating deficit of $12,269.65. Conclusion Many tributes are recorded throughout this report to our very generous sponsors and our wealth of volunteers. On behalf of the Management Committee, I thank them one and all for their assistance and involvement. I want to thank our "special ladies" at Petersham Oval and Coogee Oval (Robin, Pat, Helen and Sue) for their continued contribution with afternoon teas and the running of the canteens. They never complain and always greet you with a smile. Thanks to our Patron Noel “Pommie” Hughes – its great to see him back at Petersham Oval. To Denis Hinds congratulations on being nominated for Life Membership of this great club. Finally, I would like to again thank Lyall Gardner OAM for his friendship and continued support, advice and help over the past year. He continues to be a great contributor to our club and his OAM is well deserved reward for many years of service. We have had another tremendous year with many highlights. Next season promises to be even better and like me, I’m sure everyone is looking forward to it. For and on behalf of the Management Committee. Ray Stafford Chief Executive Officer

Lyall Gardner OAM There was great excitement over the June Queen’s Birthday weekend when the news came through that Lyall Gardner had been awarded the Order of Australia Medal. The honour was granted “for service to cricket as a player and administrator at junior and senior levels”. As we all know, Lyall has been involved with this club and the old Randwick club, for what seems like a lifetime. In fact, his involvement began in 1973 when he joined Randwick and was selected in the 1st Grade team as an opening bowler. He played in each of the club’s five grades over the following nine years before retiring in 1982 with over 250 wickets to his name. His cricket prior to that time had been mainly played in his hometown of Newcastle and in various Sydney junior clubs and associations. While he served cricket well as a player it was his expertise as an administrator, which has no doubt been the major influence in the awarding of this honour. Lyall has been involved in cricket administration for more than 40 years starting off in Newcastle as Secretary of the Hamilton Wickham club when aged just 20. After a career move brought him to Sydney, he went on to fill the roles of Secretary and President with the old Randwick club for a period totalling 16 years through the 70’s til the early 90’s. Under his administration the club won 20 premierships including four in 1st Grade. He also served as a Director on the NSW Cricket Board for two periods totalling 14 years as well as on many sub-committees of both the NSWCA and SCA since he first attended as a delegate in 1975. He is a Life Member of the NSWCA as well as Randwick Petersham. During this period Lyall was involved with grassroots cricket establishing a formal junior competition in the Eastern Suburbs with just 8 teams. In what he considers his proudest achievement in cricket, apart from enticing a 17 years old Mike Whitney to Randwick and watch him go on to play Test cricket for Australia, he takes great delight in the knowledge that these days the South Eastern Junior Cricket Association has 82 teams. While Lyall has chosen not to be an office bearer nor a member of the Randwick Petersham committee, he has been heavily involved with the club behind the scenes. When the Randwick Petersham merger was in its embryonic stages, Lyall took control of all the administrative and legal arrangements to ensure a smooth transition of the merger and thus the survival of the clubs. He then led the way in establishing an administration framework for the new club as well as a communication structure, which remains second to none in Sydney Grade Cricket. He also established a club support group (the “Legends”) and had a leading role in the creation of the Randwick Petersham Cricket Foundation to secure the financial future of the club. While we have recognised Lyall’s contribution to Randwick Petersham through the Clubman of the Year and Ernie Toshack Memorial awards, the awarding of the Order of Australia Medal takes on a different perspective as it recognises his contribution and commitment to the game of cricket itself. In my four years as CEO of Randwick Petersham Cricket I have called upon Lyall on many occasions seeking his counsel and advice. As an active volunteer, Lyall will always put his hand up to help, no matter how busy he is, for the benefit of the cricket community. He is not a person who does things by half measures and is without doubt the best administrator I have ever had the pleasure to work with. I am sure many others would share this view. Congratulations Lyall Gardner OAM! Ray Stafford Chief Executive Officer

The Grade Season in Summary Round 1 v North Sydney (Limited Overs) A disappointing start to the season with losses in the top two grades offset to some extent by three solid wins in the lower

grades. Having beaten Norths well in trial games the previous week, the scene was set for a repetition with Joe Hill stepping out

for the first time as 1st Grade skipper. Keeping the Bears to 188 from the mandatory 50 overs was a great start with Brett

Hunter’s 3-31 the best return. The batsmen failed to capitalise however, and at 4 for 36 it was going to be the struggle it turned

out to be. Only Joe Hill with 54 and Nathan Rosser (29) (both run out) offered any resistance. The hardest game for any

defending premier is always the first game the following season and this year was no different for 2’s. Norths were away to a

flyer and despite a terrific 87 by Eddie Otto and a fine 52 by Rod Stafford from just 19 balls, they went down by 47 runs. No

such disappointment in Thirds with a hollow 9 wicket victory with Steven Clarke in full flight scoring 111 not out while Dean

White’s 5 for 26 put the skids under the Bears. Fours also recorded a solid win courtesy of a fighting 66 by skipper David

Townsend and a tradesman-like performance by Grant Rimmer who took 4 for 35 with the ball. Fives were equally as

impressive with Ted Neaves (60) and Ben Chaplin (65 no) in excellent form while newcomer Brendon Ward impressed with 2

wickets to ensure the points.

1st lost by 46 runs at Petersham 142 to 188

2nd lost by 47 runs at Nth Sydney 1 236 to 7-283

3rd won by 9 wkts at Kensington 1-164 to 161

4th won by 15 runs at Tunks 8-181 to 166

5th won by 55 runs at Snape 4-212 to 9-157

Round 2 v University of New South Wales (2 day matches) On a hot October long weekend in perfect batting conditions, we recorded our worst ever performance with four losses and just

one win. 1st Grade, aided by the inclusion of Simon Katich, were humiliated in losing outright by 10 wickets. Richard Chee

Quee’s 65 was more than half the total in the second innings which lasted less than 35 overs. In three innings this season, the

team has yet to reach 200. Seconds began disastrously with the first 6 wickets falling for just 48. Cameron Gray’s undefeated 75

added some respectability to the score as did Jim Byrne with 41. But the bowling lacked penetration and the side were never in

the hunt. Three’s did well to bowl out the students for just 184 but couldn’t match it. Tony Martin’s 63 was the best score. In

4’s, Fabian Heaton led the way with a fine century to rattle up a total which could be expected on such a hot day before the

bowlers stepped up to the mark to wrap up the points without too much trouble. Fifth Grade posted a reasonable 210 courtesy of

a well compiled 77 from Ted Neaves but couldn’t knock over the last man to go down by just one wicket. A forgettable

weekend.

1st lost outright by 10 wkts at Petersham 193 and 124 to 5-362 dec.

2nd lost by 5 wkts at Village Green 226 to 5-266

3rd lost by 22 runs at Kensington 162 to 184

4th won by 107 runs at D Phillips North 8-271 dec. to 164

5th lost by 1 wkt at Snape 210 to 9-211

Round 3 v Campbelltown Camden (Limited Overs) The poor seasons start continued with just 2 wins and a tie and another shellacking for 1st Grade. After having the Ghosts 4 for

76 in 1’s, they rallied to post a competitive 257. In response, we couldn’t muster any real threat after being 4 for 12 to be

soundly beaten by 140 runs, a huge margin in a one-dayer. Six ducks also didn’t help the situation. Seconds got on the

competition scoreboard with a decisive 6 wicket win courtesy of a fine undefeated 60 from John McLoughlin and a handy 48

from skipper Paul Greentree. Earlier the 5 bowlers shared the wickets in skittling them for just 159. After a 9 wicket win in

round 1, our 3rds were on the receiving end with a loss by the same margin at Coogee Oval with young Will Passass the only

shining light with 40. 4’s did the business well at Raby Oval with a convincing 5 wicket win with Campbell Dash taking the

“man of the match “ award with a stylish 62 as opening batsman and an amazing 7 dismissals behind the stumps! Ted Neaves’

52 and Matt Wallis with 3 for 28 were also major contributions. In Fifth Grade, the points were shared in a tied match when we

only scored 1 of the 2 runs required from the last over to secure the win. Earlier the Ghosts had put on 44 for the last wicket.

Youngsters Mark Carroll with 52 not out and Ben Chaplin with 49 were best of the run scorers while captain Steve Bright’s 4

wickets of the first 5 to fall set the match up for the taking.

1st lost by 140 runs at Petersham 117 to 257

2nd won by 6 wkts at Raby 1 4-160 to 159

3rd lost by 9 wkts at Coogee 138 to 1-140

4th won by 5 wkts at Raby 2 5-154 to 152

5th tied match at Kensington 5-183 to 183

18

Round 4 v Penrith (2 day matches) This was the worst round in the history of the club with 5 defeats at the hands of the Penrith Panthers. 1st Grade ventured to

Howell Oval but couldn’t match the Panthers 268 going down by 37 runs after being well placed at 4 for 120. Usman Khawaja

top scored with 55 in a total which saw 200 being passed for the first time in the season. Two’s were thrashed by 8 wickets on

the first day and couldn’t set up any sort of target on day 2. Similarly, 3’s received a hiding at Cook Oval being bowled out for

just 76 to lose by a massive 208 runs. Fourth’s were well on the way to victory before a late order stumble left them 15 runs

short. Fifth Grade looked a certainty after having them 6 for 71 chasing 231 after day 1 but couldn’t put the finishing touches to

it all, going down with the last man at the crease.

1st lost by 37 runs at Howell 231 to 268

2nd lost by 8 wkts at Petersham 115 and 6-120 to 2-120 dec.

3rd lost by 208 runs at Cook 76 to 9-284 dec.

4th lost by 15 runs at Coogee 225 to 8-240 dec.

5th lost by 1 wkt at Rance 231 to 9-232

Round 5 v Eastern Suburbs (2 day matches) Third and Fourth Grades kept the flag flying in another disappointing round in which 1’s recorded their fifth successive defeat.

Fourth Grades’ win catapulted them into the competition lead after recovering well from 4-28 overnight chasing 169 due mainly

to a solid innings of 60 from Trent Griffiths. In First Grade, an Easts middle order partnership of 158 cruelled our chances

leaving a chase of more than 300 for the points. 50’s to Paul Horton (54) and Nathan Rosser (62) and 41 from skipper Joe Hill

gave us a sniff but we were 105 short at the end. Seconds did well to knock the Dolphins over for just 205 but only Matt Taylor

(40) and Dean White (33) provided any real hope with the bat and we pulled up 20 runs in debit. In 3’s, it was a real turnaround

to the previous week’s 76 with a solid batting display which never left the result in doubt. Best performers were captain James

Le Huray with 4 wickets for 48 while Steve Clarke’s 67 and Fabian Heaton’s undefeated 39 were top digs. Fifths were gone

after the first week and never recovered although the second days’ batting performance was far more encouraging with Matt

Hilder scoring a great 75.

1st lost by 105 runs at Coogee 214 to 319

2nd lost by 20 runs at Waverley 185 to 205

3rd won by 4 wkts at Petersham 6-215 to 211

4th won by 34 runs at Trumper 203 to 169

5th lost by 81 runs at Kensington 138 & 6-192 to 219

Round 6 v Sydney University (Limited Overs) Our poor season continued with First Grade racking up their 6th successive defeat to be the only team in the competition without

a win. Only 2’s and 5’s managed wins. Firsts were never really in the hunt after the students knocked up 267 after their 50 overs.

At one stage they were 2 for 251. Our first 6 wickets fell for just 92 with Paul Horton the only shining light with 60 out of a total

of 147—the 5th time the team had failed to make 200 in 7 attempts. Seconds turned around two successive losses with a sound

133 runs victory. Aaron Harinath did best with the bat making 60 while Eddie Otto (4 for 13) and Nigil Singh (3 for 23) quickly

put the cleaners through the students in the run chase. Third Grade rattled up a competitive total of 6 for 265 but Uni ran it down

for the loss of just 3 wickets. New player Steve Blissenden did well with an undefeated 98, which was worthy of the extra two

runs. Fourth Grade had a great opportunity to cement their place at the top of the competition table but couldn’t defend an

ordinary score of 180 going down by 2 wkts. Ted Neaves (62) and skipper David Townsend (42) did best with the bat, while

Marc Anderson with 4 for 10 was best of the bowlers. Fifths did it the hard way taking the points with just 2 wickets left. Steve

Bright (4 for 22) and Denis Hinds (4 for 10) bowled superbly while Brendon Ward (40) and Ben Chaplin (36) put together the

finishing touches.

1st lost by 120 runs at Sydney Uni 1 147 to 6-267

2nd won by 133 runs at Coogee 7-226 to 93

3rd lost by 7 wkts at Sydney Uni 2 6-265 to 3-266

4th lost by 2 wkts at Petersham 180 to 8-181

5th won by 2 wkts at St Pauls 8-151 to 149

Round 7 v Mosman (2 day matches) Another disappointing round resulting in one win, two losses and two draws principally because the round was rain affected on

the second day. First Grade found themselves chasing almost 400, the highest total in the round. To their credit, our batsmen

stuck to their guns and some good performances were recorded although the match finished in a tame draw. Usman Khawaja’s

102 was the teams’ first ton of the season while Richard Chee Quee’s undefeated 68 was a good knock. Seconds had a solid

score on the board courtesy of 84 from John McLoughlin and 71 from Brett Hunter but couldn’t take the last two wickets to

secure a win despite James Byrnes’ 4 for 69. Third Grade was always going to struggle with only a 158 run total and went down

by 6 wickets. Fourths got the points in a close encounter of 91 plays 87 only to have day 2 washed out. Fifths were well placed

chasing the Whales’ mediocre 142 but could only manage 114 in reply.

Round 8 v Hawkesbury (2 day matches) No joy for 1’s and 5’s but three solid wins for the other grades. Seconds played well at Petersham Oval with Eddie Otto (68) and

Aaron Harinath (59) setting up a competitive near 300 total. Young fast bowler Peter Alevizos then did the job with a

sensational 5 for 31 backed up by the ever-reliable James Byrne who took 3 for 57. In Third Grade, we were always in control

in the run chase taking the points 4 down. Ted Neaves on debut in 3’s did well with 40 while Alex Sciascia’s 44 was the rock of

the innings. Fours coasted in to win by 130 runs with evergreen Greg Hartshorne (69) and Darren McCoy (5 for 34) the stars

while skipper David Townsend’s 56 was a solid performance. Chasing a very reasonable target of just 193, 5’s were never in the

hunt crashing to be all out for 80 after being 5 for 6 at one stage. Jake Berry with 3 wickets and a solid batting effort was the

most positive outcome from the match. In 1st Grade, the scene was set for the team’s first win of the season with 277 on the

board. However, solid batting from the Hawks ran it down with 3 wickets remaining. A fine 82 not out by debutante Paul

Greentree was the highlight along with Andrew Harrison’s 4 wickets in another disappointing match for the club’s top team.

1st lost by 3 wkts at Owen Earle 277 to 7-278

2nd won by 116 runs at Petersham 296 to 180 and 8-176

3rd won by 4 wkts at Benson Lane 2 6-145 to 132

4th won by 130 runs at Coogee 5-249 dec to 119 and 2-98

5th lost by 113 runs at Bensons Lane 3 80 to 193

Round 9 v Northern District (2 day match 1st Grade; 1 day limited overs matches lower grades) Hardly a good Christmas present for the club with just two successes and another loss for 1st Grade to leave the team winless

and in last position on the competition table. Third Grade played well in the field with Ken Attanayake the star with the ball

taking 5 for 23. The 128 run target proved a formidable task however, and required the cool head of Andrew Millican (22), used

as a “Christmas fill-in”, to ensure the points. Another fill-in in Matty Taylor, who couldn’t play the full day (wedding to attend),

turned it on in 5th Grade, smashing 138 to set up a huge total of 289 in the 50 overs, which was more than enough to secure the

win. First Grade began well at Coogee, having ND’s 5 for 110 before yet another middle order century partnership, which has

been the pattern all season, took the game away. The return of Usman Khawaja from the Under 19 Championships where he was

declared the player of the carnival, was a positive for the team, but when he went for 80, the remaining 4 wickets fell in quick

succession. A positive from the match was the fast bowling of James Byrne with 4 for 58 in his first game this season in the top

grade. Seconds took on an undefeated XI at Waitara and made hard work of it after Peter Alevizos (3 for 36) and Nigil Singh (2

for 11 off 10) had restricted the scoring to just 205. The ND bowlers made early inroads and at 5 for 16 the game was virtually

over. Debutante skipper Rod Stafford with 44 staged a fightback with Chad Greenberg (36) but the early damage proved too

much and they finished 74 runs short. Fourths proved to be the shock of the day losing to a team which had won just one match

all season. Batting first, a rash of poor shots resulted in a weak total of just 126 after being 6 for 60. The bowlers gave the side a

sniff but a lack of a substantial total saw target reached 5 down. A forgettable match for the club’s best performing team this

season.

1st lost by 84 runs at Coogee 196 to 280

2nd lost by 74 runs at Waitara 131 to 9-205

3rd won by 3 wkts at Petersham 7-128 to 127

4th lost by 7 wkts at Asquith 126 to 5-128

5th won by 83 runs at Kensington 5-289 to 8-223

Round 10 v Bankstown (Limited Overs) Not a good start for 1st Grade following the Christmas break with a record low score of 64 in a match which was all over in just

41 overs with no RP batsman making double figures. It took the Bankstown batsmen only 44 minutes to win the match by 9

wickets. Seconds did well with a convincing win due mainly to a fine double from Jamie Boettiger who top scored with 46 and

took 3 for 28. James Le Huray was almost unplayable with 1 for 14 from 10 overs. Thirds couldn’t chase down 179 to take the

points, going down by 42 runs. Fourths had an amazing win, knocking over the Bulldogs for just 37, a record low “against”

score for our club and the grade. In Fifth Grade, our “very gettable” score of just 146 was well defended with all 10 wickets

shared by 4 bowlers to record a 67 run win. Ben West (3 for 15) and Matt Hilder (3 for 21) led the way supported magnificently

by Dean White (2 for 17) and Jon Tierney (2 for 9), while youngsters Glen Carroll (39) and Ben Chaplin (36) were impressive

on a difficult rain-affected pitch.

1st lost by 9 wkts at Bankstown 64 to 1-65

2nd won by 5 wkts at Coogee 5-154 to 8-151

3rd lost by 42 runs at Grahame Thomas 137 to 179

4th won by 9 wkts at Petersham 1-38 to 37

5th won by 67 runs at Jensen 146 to 79

Round 11 v Western Suburbs (2 day matches) Good results for 2’s, 4’s and 5’s but a continuation of the poor season for 1’s and 3’s. At 3 for 141 with “Cheeqs” in fine form, a

big score for 1st Grade was on the cards. However, as so often has happened this season, a collapse brought it all undone with

the remaining 7 wickets going for just 72. Young Eddie Otto gave his team a real chance knocking over the first three Wests

wickets in quick succession. At 6 for 140 it was a matter of cleaning up but a 106 run partnership put paid to that and down we

went. Richard Chee Quee with 92 (and 51 in the second dig) and Eddie Otto with 5 wickets for 85 took the individual honours.

Two’s had the points on day 1 after Chris Whelan (4-29) and Rod Stafford (2-9) knocked them over for just 71 and Matt Taylor

blazed a quickfire 94. An outright win was pursued Day 2 without success, being 20 runs short with just 2 wickets left. Fabian

Heaton’s solid 48 enabled 3’s to get to 185 which wasn’t enough, with the Magpies passing that score 7 down. Fourth Grade

had a great win with skipper David Townsend leading the way with 120 supported by young Green Shield boy Sean Gardner

hitting 60 in a team total of 7-278. Blick Oval proved hard to take wickets but persistency paid off with the Maggies finishing 33

short. Fifths managed a competitive total of 216 before demolishing Wests for just 106 for a solid win.

1st lost by 4wkts at Petersham 213 & 4-152 to 9-278 dec

2nd won by 7 wkts at Pratten 3-183 dec & 8-152 to 71 & 8-284 dec

3rd lost by 3 wkts at Coogee 185 to 7-189

4th won by 33 runs at Blick 7-278 to 245

5th won by 111 runs at Kensington 9-216 dec to 105 & 2-85

Round 12 v St George (2 day matches) After 14 frustrating games, 1st Grade put their first points on the board with a solid win. The batting was fairly ordinary but the

last 3 put on 50 to give the Saints a competitive target. The bowlers stepped up however, with Andrew Harrison (4-43) and

Nathan Rosser (5-50) on line from the start taking Saints’ first 8 wickets for just 33 runs between 63 and 96. It was just what the

team needed. Seconds put the icing on the cake with a one wicket win courtesy of a fine rear guard performance by the last two

batsmen Ken Attanayake (11 not out) and Peter Alevizos (7) who put on 17 to inch across the line. Nigil Singh had earlier taken

4-43 from 19 overs. Thirds put in a shocker to be beaten by over 150 runs while 4’s just couldn’t get the last man out with just

one run up their sleeve to record a drawn match. Andrew Redman had a good game with 93. Skipper Dean White put in one of

the best performances of the season with an outstanding 7 for 70 from a marathon 34 overs to secure a great win for Fifth Grade.

He was well supported by Jon Tierney who captured the other 3 wickets for just 20 from 19 overs. Great stuff!

1st won by 70 runs at Hurstville 195 and 7-159 to 125

2nd won by 1 wkt at Coogee 9-197 dec to 196 and 5-107

3rd lost by 156 runs at Harold Fraser 122 to 9-278 dec

4th match drawn at Petersham 8-224 dec to 9-223

5th won by 40 runs at Cahill 206 to 166

Round 13 v UTS Balmain (2 day matches) The thrill of the win in the previous match soon dissipated, as 1’s were soundly defeated at Petersham Oval. After having the

Tigers 4-87, the following partnership of 150 was all too familiar leaving us with a 300+ chase. A fine 110 by Paul Horton gave

the side a “window” but in the end, fell 54 runs short. Neil Cohen’s 48 was also a good effort. The Second Grade match was a

replay of the 2004-05 final but this time the result went the way of the Tigers. Our bowlers did well to have them 7 for 80 before

they rallied to finish at 169. By day’s end we were in real trouble in reply, being 8 down for 113. Michael Watson, who top

scored in last season’s final, was the big hope but when he went on day 2 for 82, we were 20 runs short. Peter Alevizos was the

best of the bowlers with 4 for 21. Thirds had a similar story to 1’s, having the Tigers 5 for 69 but conceded more than 200 runs

while taking just one more wicket. The batting did little and the side went down by 140 runs. Fourths had an amazing first day,

demolishing UTS for only 57 runs with Matthew Wallis (5 for 20) and Marc Anderson (3 for 13) the destroyers. After quickly

setting up a 120 lead, every effort was made to achieve an outright win, but a much better UTS batting effort thwarted the

attempt. Fives kept their march to the finals alive with a convincing 7 wicket win courtesy of a century from Sean Porter making

his debut in the side. Not a good round with 3 losses in the top 3 grades.

1st lost by 54 runs at Petersham 287 to 9-341 dec

2nd lost by 20 runs at Ryde 149 to 169 and 5-192

3rd lost by 140 runs at Coogee 144 to 6-284

4th won by 5 wkts at ELS Hall 5-177 dec to 57 and 8-212

5th won by 7 wkts at Kensington 3-241 to 239

Round 14 v Sutherland (2 day matches) Great wins to both 1st and 2nd grades were the highlights of the round. Richard Chee Quee’s last match at Coogee proved to be

a winner for 1’s against a team running second in the competition and one which we had beaten only once in six previous

attempts. Skipper Joe Hill’s century (with 5 sixes) between lunch and tea on day 1 after being sent in to bat, set the wheels in

motion before two Sharks wickets were taken before stumps to have them on the back foot. Good solid bowling on day 2

produced the deserved result with fast bowler James Byrne returning the fine figures of 5 for 47. Seconds were always behind

the ball chasing a big total but kept chipping away with most batsmen contributing to what was an outstanding win. Eddie Otto,

21

complete with broken finger, defied everything the Sharks could throw at him to be there with an undefeated 61 when the

winning runs were scored. Matt Taylor (56) and Paul Toole (45) had earlier steadied the ship following the loss of some quick

wickets. Michael Watson’s 3 for 1 in the dying stages of the Shark’s innings was a valuable effort. In 3’s, it was a bit of a spare-

parts team with 4’s and 5’s being held together in preparation for the finals. The side was never in the hunt and went down by a

big margin with only two scores above 20 in both innings. Fourth Grade was lucky to maintain its position at the top of the table

when the side second in the competition was beaten leaving our loss to be not the disaster it otherwise may have been. After

being 8 for 94, a great partnership between Matt Wallis (63) and Marc Anderson (23 no) put some respectability into the final

total. A win in the last round would secure the minor premiership. Fives guaranteed themselves a place in the finals with a close

2 run win. Matt Hilder’s 50 looked like being in vain, but a “wagging” tail enabled the side to literally fall across the line.

Against a club running second in the Club Championship, we came out with the majority of points in a good round for us.

1st won by 39 runs at Coogee 322 to 283

2nd won by 2 wkts at Caringbah 8-300 to 298

3rd lost outright by 10 wkts at Petersham 107 and 88 to 4-175 dec and 0-21

4th lost by 13 runs at Sutherland 183 to 196

5th won by 2 runs at Kensington 180 to 178

Round 15 v Blacktown (Limited Overs) What a finish! Wins in all 5 grades and a 4th Grade minor premiership to boot! An outstanding win in 1st Grade to give the

side its third win in the final 4 matches of the season. Richard Chee Quee’s 81 not out in his final grade cricket innings was a

special highlight while bowlers Andrew Harrison (4-32) and James Byrne (3-25) ensured that the run chase was within reach.

Matt Taylor made a welcome return to the top grade and in his 56 hit 7 boundaries in the one over! Second Grade completed a

wonderful run since Christmas to win but miss a finals spot by a frustrating one win. Cameron Gray’s 4 for 32 restricted

Blacktown’s scoring but at 7 for 105 it was anyone’s game. The surprise performance came from “old stager” Rhys Banwell

playing his first match for a couple of years, who hit a match-winning 32 not out. Thirds had a poor run home but finished off in

style with a solid win courtesy of Steve Blissenden’s 5 for 22 and Steve Clarke’s well compiled 40 runs. Four’s simply smashed

‘em to take out the club’s third minor premiership. Youngster Sean Gardner hit his maiden grade century with 125 not out while

skipper David Townsend enjoyed hitting 101. Together they put on 206 for the third wicket. Matt Wallis had earlier taken 4 for

23 off his 10 overs. Fifth’s secured a third place finish with their 106 runs win courtesy of some great batting by Matt Hilder

(57), Glen Carroll (30), Jake Berry (30) and Ben West (30) to cap off a great season.

1st won by 7 wkts at Joe McAleer 3-202 to 199

2nd won by 3 wkts at Petersham 7-142 to 136

3rd won by 4 wkts at Whalan 1 6-117 to 115 4th won by 151 runs at Coogee 4-291 to 140 5th won by 106 runs at Whalan 2 9-223 to 7-117

Qualifying Finals (Sat / Sun matches)

4ths v Sutherland at Coogee 5ths v Fairfield Liverpool at Kensington Two great wins to cement places in the semi-finals! Minor Premiers Fourth Grade looked every inch the favourite for the

premiership after a resounding win over a hapless Sutherland outfit. Although going down to the Sharks in the second last

round, there was no mistake this time as the batsmen piled on the runs on a good Coogee Oval track. Young Sean Gardner

followed his century the previous match with another solid knock of 72 while Fabian Heaton was in great touch and was

unlucky not to turn his 81 into a well earned ton. With only two sessions to chase down 333, Sutherland were never in the hunt

and crashed out for just 178 with Marc Anderson (3 for 26) and Chad Greenberg (2 for 34) sharing in the spoils. It was edge-of-

the-seat stuff in Fifth Grade with the team having just two runs to spare in bowling out Fairfield for 198. Batting first, our boys

struggled with only Sean Porter (50) and Matt Hilder (28) getting among the runs. At 0 for 35 overnight in reply, the Lions were

entitled to be favourites. However, Sunday morning brought much-needed wickets with Steve Bright (5 for 56) and skipper

Dean White (3 for 42) calling on their vast experience to put the skids through a nervous Fairfield team. At 7 for 108, the game

looked over but a late rally with some determined hitting put the cat among the pigeons until Dean White took the last wicket a

tantalising two runs short of our total. The last two had put on 48 and almost stole the show.

4ths won by 155 runs at Coogee 333 to 178 5ths won by 2 runs @ Kensington 200 to 198

Semi Finals (Sat / Sun matches)

4ths v Campbelltown Camden at Coogee 5ths v Penrith at Howell A great weekend with both teams into the finals! A draw was enough for Fourth Grade at Coogee following a spirited

fightback by the Ghosts to get to 7 for 267 from 6 for 70 around lunchtime on day 1. Chris Singh (3 for 47) and Darren McCoy

(3 for 53) made early inroads into Campbelltown’s batting before a defiant century by one of the Ghost’s top order batsmen

made the chase more than interesting. After early rain Sunday morning and the loss of a couple of quick wickets, the resolution

of the home team batsmen quickly came to the fore and put the issue beyond doubt by mid afternoon. Fabian Heaton continued

his good form with 44 while Tony Martin’s 41 and skipper David Townsend’s 40 not out helped restrict the opposing bowlers to

22

just 5 wickets when stumps were drawn. At Howell Oval, Fifth Grade did the right thing by winning the toss and asking the

Panthers to bat first following overnight rain. The decision proved correct as the experienced pair of Grant Rimmer (3 for 30)

and captain Dean White (2 for 36) ensured the run chase was well within target. At 1 for 70 in reply and just 95 needed, four

quick wickets left us at 5 for 102 at the end of day 1. Early Sunday showers didn’t help the Panthers task as Matt Hilder set

about ensuring a spot in the season’s biggest game with a well compiled 105. Andrew Walters’ 41 was an important knock as

well. A solid and decisive win.

4ths drawn match at Coogee 5-183 to 7-267 dec. 5ths won by 2 wkts @ Howell 9-267 to 164

Finals (Sat / Sun matches)

4ths v Fairfield Liverpool at Coogee 5ths v Fairfield Liverpool at Village Green (Uni NSW) Two premierships! An outstanding weekend with both 4th and 5th grades winning their finals to take out the trophy!

In Fourth Grade, it was a real nail biter with our scoreline reading 6 for 29 before lunch under leaden skies on day 1. Some

important partnerships followed with Darren McCoy (44), Tony Martin (25) and Matt Wallis (23) the main contributors. But at

9 for 118 we were still very vulnerable. A final wicket partnership of 45 between Chad Greenberg (27) and Chris Singh (21)

however, proved to be a real winner and the final total of 163 gave the bowlers something to defend. The young Fairfield Lions

began brightly before losing their first wicket at 12. Within a few runs however, the game swung our way when Matt Wallis

struck twice in the one over taking out their best bat for a duck. Chris Singh chipped in next over reducing the score to 4 for 19.

By the end of the first day’s play, both bowlers had struck again leaving Fairfield to get 84 runs with just 4 wickets in the bank.

An early Sunday morning wicket to Wallis (who finished with 5 for 40) made the task that much harder but a 30 run partnership

revived the Lions hopes. A tight spell by the experienced Greg Hartshorne (1 for 14 off 18 with 11 maidens) and Darren McCoy

(2 for 15) finally wrapped them up shortly after lunch for 128. With almost two sessions left for play, the game continued giving

club supporters “heart failure” as 5 wickets fell for just 42 runs. Some resolute batting over the following hour however, kept the

Lions at bay and effectively shut them out of the game enabling stumps to be drawn early. A great win amidst great excitement!

In Fifth Grade a number of the club’s most promising juniors were on show and put in some outstanding performances. Glen

Carroll (27) and Andrew Walters (39) gave the side a great start with a 71 run partnership. Skipper Dean White batted 3 and

capitalised on the great start scoring 44 while Matt Hilders’ 54 following his semi-final century, was just what the team needed.

Sean Porter added a quick 24 while the last wicket partnership of 24 between Steve Bright (21 not out) and wicketkeeper

Andrew Redman (10) took the innings into the second day creating additional pressure for the run-chasers. Fairfield began well

in response of the 261 needed to win and at 4 for 155 was well on track. Tight bowling aided by some enthusiastic and athletic

fielding however, created enough pressure to force a number of rash shots which saw the Lions crash for 221…39 short of the

target. Best of the bowlers was Jon Tierney (2 for 24) and Matty Hilder with 2 for 32 to complete a great double.

4ths won by 35 runs at Coogee 163 and 7-103 to 128 5ths won by 39 runs at Village Green 260 to 221

1st Grade Limited Overs Competition in Summary Round 1 v North Sydney at Petersham Keeping the Bears to just 188 from the mandatory 50 overs was just the start we needed to record some early

points. Not to be however, with only new skipper Joe Hill (54) and Nathan Rosser (29 not out) providing the

only real resistance against some persistent bowling. Earlier, Brett Hunter did well with 3 for 31.

Lost by 46 runs 142 to 188

Round 2 v Campbelltown Camden at Petersham Bowling first we quickly had the Ghosts in trouble at 4 for 76. However, a middle order rally soon put paid to

our challenge and we were left to chase a competitive 257. A disastrous start with our first 4 batsmen falling with

just 12 runs on the board didn’t give RP supporters any reason for optimism. And six ducks proved the point, as

we were demolished for just 117. Joe Hill (41) and Michael Watson (34) scored almost three-quarters of the

team total.

Lost by 140 runs 117 to 257

Round 3 v Parramatta at Coogee Rain continued throughout the day and no play was possible. Match washed out.

Drawn match

Round 4 v Sydney University at University No.1 A 145 run partnership for the second wicket and 82 for the third by the students signalled we would have a solid

run chase on our hands. And so it proved with the 267 target well out of our reach with only Paul Horton (60)

getting past 20. A big loss.

Lost by 120 runs 147 to 6-267

Round 5 v Fairfield Liverpool at Rosedale The strong Fairfield side were always favourites and won with ease. Batting first, only 4 batsmen reached double

figures with Brett Hunter’s 28 the best. Fairfield had a little hiccup to be 3 for 19 with Andrew Harrison on fire,

but soon settled down to take the match for the loss of just one more wicket. Harrison finished with all 4 wickets

for just 33 from 10 overs in a spirited performance.

Lost by 6 wkts 138 to 4-141

Round 6 v Bankstown at Bankstown A record low score for the club of only 64, in a match that was all over in just 41 overs with no RP batsman

making double figures. Not a game with fond memories for any player.

Lost by 9 wkts 64 to 1-65

Round 7 v Gordon at Killara None for 18 quickly turned to 5 for 29, a score from which we never recovered to be all out for less than 100 for

the second time within 8 days. The Highlanders polished the runs off in just over an hour to give us another early

finish in a very forgettable season. Jamie Boettiger top scored with 23 and took a wicket to be the only performer

of any note.

Lost by 8 wkts 90 to 2-91

Round 8 v Manly Warringah at Coogee The last round in the competition left us firmly entrenched at the bottom of the points table. We kept Manly to a

gettable score with some tight bowling despite some fielding lapses. At 1 for 47 hopes were high but the rot

quickly set in with some indiscreet batting which saw the last 9 wickets collapse for 62.

Lost by 114 runs 109 to 6-223

1st Grade Report by Joseph Hill - Captain

Position in Grade Competition: 19th

Position in Limited Overs Competition: last

Introduction

Any 1st Grade cricket season is a long one. One in which you win your first game in the 15th of 19 makes it

seem like an eternity. 4th February 2006 to be exact, Andrew Harrison trapping the last Dragon in front for his

4th wicket at 2.10pm, setting the Gorilla free from our backs (I’ll vouch for King Kong jumping off mine). With

the Gorillas roaming the streets again, we finished off the season with the momentum and, more importantly, the

success we had strived to achieve earlier. The aches and pains went away and the fire in the belly had been

rekindled. We all felt a sense of what could have been … could the season not have gone on just a little longer?

Cricket is a funny game I hear you say? No kidding.

It was however a season of what could go wrong did go wrong, in many respects. I will shy away from detailing

such issues. They were discussed at length by management, but I don’t believe the players dwelt upon such

issues to any great extent. They can be rectified next year.

Rebuilding

Being awarded the captaincy has been an honour for which I am very grateful and in respect of which I did my

utmost to maintain the high regard in which our club is held in Sydney Grade Cricket. In a difficult year the

learning curve can be steep but one I will not shy away from.

In what can easily be coined “a rebuilding phase” for the 1st Grade side, opportunities will present themselves to

each and every player next season (pre-season included). Firstly though, as a 1st Grade side our opportunity is to

ensure that our rebuilding phase is met with a determination to match our history and our promising future -

nothing less.

I will be grabbing my opportunities and I look forward to strongly encouraging each player to grab theirs.

Personal goals should be set high and chased down with more conviction than previous. Our current players have

the ability to enjoy and learn their cricket together. In doing so they will form a significant part of the 1st Grade

side for the next year or two or three …

Achievements and Honours

There were a number of achievements attained throughout the year deserving of further mention.

Usman Khawaja’s selection in the Australian U19 side was a significant step in his path to representing the full

NSW and Australian sides. It limited him to 12 games for us. Nathan Rosser gained selection in the early season

State League Cup competition, and notably led from the front in our first win against St George with 5 for 50 off

20 unchanged overs.

Manager Bobby Barter was elevated to the NSW management setup and then again to the international scene,

rubbing shoulders with the cream of the cricketing world at the World XI Test. Simon Katich continued to

perform admirably at higher levels, making only one appearance for us.

It was not a year for the statisticians, however there were several notable performances. Hundreds were scored

by Usman Khawaja (102 v Mosman), Paul Horton (102 v Balmain) and Joe Hill (121 v Sutherland). Paul’s effort

was a standout, technically an outstanding innings on a dry and difficult Petersham Oval pitch.

Richard Chee Quee (92 and leading run scorer) and Paul Greentree on debut (81 not out) also pushed three

figures. On debut, Paul deserved a century in hot conditions with an exceptionally slow outfield. Impressively,

he struck the ball confidently from ball one, threw down the second Hawkesbury wicket from side on and

proceeded to make himself at home in 1st Grade.

Five wicket hauls were achieved by Eddie Otto, James Byrne and Nathan Rosser. For Eddie and James it was

their first real haul at this level, achieved through long spells, determination and the support of their team mates.

It was Andrew Harrison however, who consistently led the bowling attack with 37 wickets at 22.32 per wicket,

evident though five 4 wicket hauls. It was difficult to get the ball out of his hand at times and when we needed a

lift or a breakthrough he would put his hand up to deliver, showing his true character.

30

The future

With many players struggling to hold their own and a young player pool to call on, the nature of this year has

been to expose many younger players to the 1st Grade environment.

Newly capped players were Jamie Boettiger, Michael Watson, Jade Dernbach, Paul Greentree, Chris Whelan and

Arun Harinath. Debutantes from last year who played were Matthew Taylor, James Byrne, Nigil Singh and Paul

Horton, while Neil Cohen, Eddie Otto, Usman Khawaja and Nathan Rosser debuted the year before. A

particularly young group. Trying to avoid the cliché is difficult, but we will be stronger for this in the long term.

As a team, we fought very hard for our places, held our own at times, excelled at other times, but above all could

not perform consistently either individually or collectively to get the points. While the statistics don’t lie, they

also can’t convey such efforts. I was impressed with the leadership qualities of our senior players and the very

high practice attendance across the 1st Grade players.

The non-playing team members

We continue to be well served by dedicated volunteers with our home grounds being made so welcoming by our

tea ladies. Our dressing room set up maybe the best in Sydney Grade cricket with at least two managers to assist

on game days. Thank you again to Bill Anderson, Bobby Barter, Peter Devlin, Bernard Bayley and Steve

Greentree for assisting us at one time or another, during the season. Your efforts are greatly appreciated. Rest

assured that for those not mentioned specifically here, the players are well aware, and appreciative, of the

considerable contribution that the volunteers make to our club.

A special mention to Bobby and Billy who are the most infectious characters, their presence and commitment to

1st Grade has been unwavering. Bobby’s empowering team talk of camaraderie at the Fairfield match remains

with me – delivered off the cuff of course. Billy’s efforts to understand each and every player just a little bit

more at our ‘sponsored’ team building dinners shows his dedication and love for his weekends with us.

Our scorer Brian Proops is a hard marker at the best of times, so you can imagine his frustration while watching

us this summer. Thank you Brian for your commitment and forthright advice.

Retirees

In retirement both Richard Chee Quee and Paul Toole will be held with even higher regard in our cricketing

community than they were as players as their impressive and unique legacies live on.

Paul - in my time at the club your dedication is unsurpassed by any other player. Your determination and

practice ethic serves as a benchmark to many of our cricketers. I recall your never-say-die attitude in 2003-04

where we reaped in 18 points in weather-affected games against Campbelltown, Balmain and Sydney – all before

the Christmas break. Many sides didn’t register a point. I have learnt much from your leadership and would

have dearly loved to have played alongside you in your last game.

Richard - looking back on the last game of the year it seemed so scripted, yet so inevitable. The details: 2

catches, 1 wicket, 81 not out (denied a century by a Matt Taylor special - seven fours in one over) and possibly

the odd movement of Nathan Rosser who would have wandered out of position. Ultimately though, it is difficult

to add to the many accolades you have received. One thing that will stick with me is not your self belief, but the

way you displayed this trait to your team every time you walked onto the field. Your last game for Randwick

Petersham is a testament to this approach.

Signing off

It is difficult to convey the rollercoaster of emotions that the entire team went through in the closing two months

of the season after being down and out for so long, fighting every week to get up off the canvass floor. In the

middle of the game against Western Suburbs at Petersham Oval I recall vividly Noel Hughes, our long-standing

Patron, gracefully mentioning to me that no Randwick Petersham team has held the first grade wooden spoon in

the last 70 years. We then digested the news that Chee Quee would retire at season’s end.

We fought well that day but ended up on the wrong side of the ledger and then got thumped at Gordon the next

day. Our predicament was confronting. Last place, four games left and 12 points behind the19th placed club -

we were on our last standing eight count.

We won three of those games with the characteristic spirit of a Randwick Petersham 1st Grade side. I can assure

you that our spirit was always there. It had to be. Peter Devlin, Bill Anderson, Bobby Barter, Mike Whitney and

Richard Chee Quee were all instrumental in ensuring that every time we stepped onto the field we knew why we

were doing it.

31

History will show that we finished a ‘clear’ 0.45 from the wooden spoon courtesy of the ingenious quotient

system. I’ll leave you with the knowledge that Andrew Harrison is on a hat trick next year, but has yet to decide

which grade he will turn out for in his first game. As Bobby would say to Billy “It don’t get much better that this

Billy”, Billy would reply “Yep, it don’t get much better than this, mate”.

2nd Grade Report by Rod Stafford, Captain

Position in Competition: 9th

Season 2005-06 turned out to be a frustrating one for the defending premiers. A poor start for a number of

reasons saw us placed 16th at the Christmas break. Five wins out of 6 to finish off the season left us only 5

points adrift of a qualifying finals position leaving everyone wondering what could have been had we won

just a game or two more.

Early losses to North Sydney, UNSW, Penrith and Easts with just a dominating win against Campbelltown at

Raby in Round 3 left us with an uphill battle to qualify for the finals. With many players up and down

between 1st and 2nd’s, the side struggled to gel as a unit for much of the first half of the season.

The first turning point of the season came with the thumping of a Greg Matthews inspired Sydney University

outfit in round 6. We posted 7 for 226 and in reply the students could only muster 93 on a “belter”, enabling

us to take 8 points from the match including 2 bonus points. This match was followed by an unfortunate and

costly draw against Mosman with the good guys falling 2 wickets short of victory. A big win against

Hawkesbury featured the very promising debutante “Pistol” Pete Alevizos taking 5-31. However, this was

followed by a loss due to a poor batting display against the Minor Premiers Northern District. That result

saw us placed 16th at the 3 week Christmas/New Years break with 3 wins, 4 losses and a draw. At that stage

we were still within striking distance of a finals charge but needed to win at least 5 of the remaining 6 games

to be any chance.

I’m not sure what the 2nd Grade boys ate or drank over the festive season but it should definitely be

repeated, as the side put together dominating wins against Bankstown and Western Suburbs. The win

against Wests at Pratten Park was especially memorable with Wests being rolled for 71 just after lunch

allowing us to pass the target before tea. An outright victory was possible but not to be on day 2, as the pitch

flattened out. A highlight of the season in this match was the swashbuckling Matty Taylor’s tremendous

double of 94 and 45 at better than a run a ball to put us in with a huge chance of 10 points for an outright

win.

Round 12 saw the team within striking distance of the top 6 with an outright needed to put us in with a huge

chance. With some good form leading up to this match, the boys were very confident of a win against St

George at the picturesque Coogee Oval. Saints batted first and posted a respectable 196 with all bowlers

contributing well. We were well in control early until a dreaded middle order collapse saw the ever reliable

Kenny Attanayake combined with genuine number 11 Nigil Singh with runs still needed. A leg bye behind

square from Nigil and a single to Kenny tied the scores leaving both the Randy Petes’ and Saints’ seasons on

the line. A textbook perfect forward defensive prod from Singh in front of square and a loud call of ‘yes’

from Attanayake saw Singh take off and make his ground courtesy of a wide throw from the cover

fieldsman. Jubilation in the Randy Petes camp as we stayed alive in our quest to defend last season’s

premiership!

The following round was a grand final replay versus Neil Maxwell’s UTS-Balmain at the home of lower

grade cricket, Ryde Oval. On a pitch that looked good and played badly, the Tigers batted first and reached a

total of only 169. In reply however, we slumped to 6 for 50 before a valuable partnership between new

opener Michael Watson and skipper Stafford saw the score to 100 before Stafford was dismissed. At 8 for

114 overnight with Watson 55 not out, the scene was set for another tight finish with just Alevizos and Singh

to come. Alevizos went with the score just 115 early on day two with 55 needed for victory. Enter well

credentialed number 11 Nigil Singh, who proceeded to face 50 balls without scoring a run while Watson

played a great innings of 82 before unfortunately playing on for with 20 runs still needed. With no outright

result possible, this loss meant we could only qualify for the finals if a number of results went our way and

we defeated Sutherland outright on a “road” at Caringbah.

34

Round 14 saw Sutherland’s season plummet as we chased down 300 with 2 wickets to spare. Excellent

contributions from Taylor, McLoughlin, Toole and Gray saw us within striking distance before the hero of

the day Eddie Otto (61 not out) and Peter Alevizos (18 not out) saw us home with only a couple of minutes

left in the match.

Round 15 versus Blacktown was a low scoring affair at Petersham Oval but we were able to finish the season

off with a great win although it was another nail biter chasing down 136 with just 3 wickets to spare. Great

spells by Cameron Gray (4 for 32) and the all-rounder Watson (2 for 8 off 10 overs) was followed by a

match winning innings of 32 not out by the evergreen Rhys Banwell, playing his first match of the season.

The season standouts with the bat were Matty Taylor, John McLoughlin, Arun Harinath and Eddie Otto.

Also featuring high up on the batting averages and aggregates were Paul Greentree, Brett Hunter, Paul Toole,

Jamie Boettiger, Rod Stafford and Cameron Gray all of whom made important contributions at times.

The standouts with the ball were Peter Alevizos, Nigil Singh and Rod Stafford. This trio was greatly assisted

during the season by Jimmy Byrne, Cameron Gray, Chris Whelan, Kenny Attanayke, Brett Hunter and Eddie

Otto who all performed admirably.

Congratulations must go to all players who earned promotion at various times to 1st Grade, especially Jamie

Boettiger, Jimmy Byrne and Paul Greentree who captained the 2’s in the early part of the season and did a

great job in tough circumstances. These three players consolidated their place in the side later in the season

through solid performances. Matty Taylor, John McLoughlin, Michael Watson, Nigil Singh, Eddie Otto,

Cameron Gray and Peter Alevizos all showed tremendous potential at various stages of the season and with

hard work, dedication and most of all belief, will all have an impact on 1st Grade in the coming seasons.

The experience and knowledge which Paul Toole brought to the side was of immense value in the second

half of the season and I would like to personally thank him for his guidance in my first stint as skipper of the

side. “Bags” has been an inspiration to all since making his debut for Randwick in the early 1990’s. His

performances over the years have been first class and he has shown us all the right spirit in which the game

should be played. “Tooley”, you will be sorely missed next season and we wish you all the best for you in

retirement and for your young family. You’ll always wear the number 1 for Randwick Petersham and I can’t

think of anyone more deserving.

Many thanks to our band of supporters, who turned up each week and gave us that extra lift that is sometimes

needed. Bernie Bayley did a great job as manager/vice-captain after the Greentree combination went up to

1st Grade. Bernie wears his heart on his sleeve and his passion for the club is of the highest order. Steve

Greentree is always a great help and his work early in the season was much appreciated.

Richard McCord was outstanding once again in his role as scorer and practice captain. If on the off chance

“Dick” can’t remember a statistic, he’s sure to make one up and defend it all the way. Your air guitar and

outbursts are a pleasure to be around “Dickie”. See you next season champion!

Cec Orrock was our number one supporter, often turning up before players, inspecting the pitch, weather

conditions, opposition, and even cleaning the sheds before the players arrived. I know that Cec enjoyed

every win as much as any of the players. Ray Stafford, Leo Alevizos, John and Debbie Watson were always

there providing great support and willing to help out when needed.

Thanks to the coaching staff of Peter Devlin, Andrew Millican and David Skuthorpe for their efforts at

training during the season and a huge thank you to the canteen ladies at Coogee and Petersham who continue

to do a stellar job every week!

In finishing up, the boys should be very proud of their efforts this season. We enjoyed our cricket

immensely, won the close matches and were only one or two wins from giving ourselves a real big

opportunity to defend the title. To be successful as a club in 2006-07 we need to learn from the past season,

train harder than ever, and enjoy playing for each other and the success that comes from that.

3rd Grade Report by James Le Huray, Captain

Position in Competition: 14th

Taking on the captaincy for the first time in my career in a highly competitive grade and following

the outstanding results of the previous two seasons (Premiers and Semi finalists) was always going

to be a difficult task. The frustration at not having a core group of players for each game certainly

made building team harmony a difficult job.

The 3rd Grade side saw 39 different players at some stage donning the Randy-Petes outfit. This

aside, what an enjoyable experience it was, and I must thank all players who keenly came to play

throughout the season.

Apart from being a little disappointed that we did not win more games and make the semi-finals, I

must mention some of the outstanding performances of the season and some players to watch in the

next few years.

Steven Clarke scored our only century this season (111 not out v North Sydney) and topped the run

scorers list. When focused, Steven can compile runs with consummate ease and grace. He clearly

has potential and with further confidence can definitely succeed in the higher grades. Steve

Blissenden was also a find for the club with a top score of 98 not out in a one-day game against

Sydney University and a 5 for 22 against Blacktown, showing his undoubted all round ability.

David Bourke with 259 runs and a lethal inswinger, oozed class all season and was the only player

to play every game in thirds. I am sure with a little more dedication “Bourkey” will reach his full

potential as a damaging all rounder. Fabian Heaton (aka the “Little Master”) remained positive

throughout the season and showed the guts and determination needed to win games. Fabian scored

247 runs for the season with a top score of 54 and behind the stumps was faultless with 17 snares.

His positive outlook on cricket was and always will be well received on the cricket field.

Alex Sciascia playing 11 games showed he has a great work ethic and a love for cricket. It is

important for Alex to focus on the positives if he is to play higher grades which of course he is more

than capable of doing as we saw in his match winning performance at Hawkesbury. Marc Anderson

had a very good season again showing his class as an all rounder. With over 100 runs and 12

wickets (second leading wicket taker) “Ando” was a real force this summer.

Bryce Young made a positive impact in the side and his all round ability was missed in those games

he could not play. Scoring over 100 runs and taking a few wickets showed us the ability Bryce has.

With less work commitments, he could have made an even bigger impact in this grade.

Bowling seemed to be the strength of the side, the only problem being our ability to hold on to the

players. Matthew Wallis, new to the club, made an immediate impact taking 10 wickets at 21.00

with a best of 5 for 29. His sheer pace, raw talent and strength will see him threaten many higher

grade batsmen in future seasons.

Young Peter Alevizos took 9 wickets at 20.67 with a best of 4 for 58 and was a wonderful asset to

the team and the club. Already with representative honours at the under 16 and 17 levels it was no

wonder Peter received a call up to 2nd Grade. Ken Attanayake was brilliant in the handful of

games he played and following a match winning 5 for 23 against a top Northern District side was

another player who went on to cement a spot in 2nd Grade. Ken’s ability to bowl accurate left arm

orthodox is invaluable and I look forward to further successes from him in the future.

38

Emerson Wilshire was another player to impress with both bat and ball, clearly showing potential

and a real find for the club. James Le Huray was leading wicket taker with 21 wickets at 20.29 and

a best of 5 for 51, at times bowling with experience and patience. He also managed to hold onto the

most snares with a grand total of 7 for the season.

While I cannot name all our good performers this season it would be remiss of me not to mention:

Dean “The Veteran “ White whose early season hostile spells were sorely missed; Edward “Teddy”

Neaves for his positive outlook and fantastic approach to cricket; Trent “Griffo” Griffiths for his all

round ability; Chris “Thunderbolt” Singh for his fiery spells; Melvin “Tiger” Singh for his web of

deception; Cameron “Iron Gloves” Heil for his stability behind the stumps and Nauman “Imran”

Khan for his dashing batting style.

Other notable players with bright futures and who showed great ability when called upon to play

3rd Grade in 2005-06 were Will Passas, Barry Spencer, Campbell Dash, Luke Bertram, Alex

Tomkins, Sean Gardner, Grant Rimmer, Matthew Shiner, Gary Cuddy and Jake Berry.

On behalf of 3rd Grade I would like to pass on our sincere gratitude to our Manager, Peter Harrison.

Peter made us feel like a team of champions every time we came off the field with a magnificent

spread of biscuits, fruit and cold drinks. Peter’s efforts did not go unnoticed and for some of us the

best time of day was at stumps when we could crack open a few icy cold beers, so once again Peter,

many thanks.

I would also like to thank the

ladies at both Petersham and

Coogee who have excelled

themselves yet again with the

best afternoon teas in Sydney

Grade Cricket.

On a personal note I would

like to thank the coaching staff

and selectors headed by Peter

Devlin for giving me the

opportunity to captain the team

and for supporting me fully

throughout the year.

I would also like to

congratulate each of the other

teams on their performances

throughout the season,

especially the 4th and 5th

grades on making it through to

the finals and more

importantly taking the title in

both grades. Congratulations to

David Townsend, Dean White and all the boys on a fantastic achievement.

Looking forward to more success next year. Go the Randy Petes !!!!!

RANDY PETES CRICKET MUSEUM

STEPPING BACK IN TIME

What has Vinoo Mankad got t’ do with the Randy Petes you well

may ask Sir. Well I’ll tell you what my friend. Good old Vinoo

was the bloke who M-A-N-K-A-D-D-E-D our Bill Brown not once –

but bloody twice back in those infamous Mankaddin’ days. And

also as a matter of interest our Aussie Legend and Invincible

Ernie Toshack climbed from Marrickville 3rd Grade into Test

Cricket at the age of 31 and in just over 12 months. And that

Invincible 1948 Team had no less than 4 players from

Petersham – Marrickville Clubs.- Brown, Toshack, Barnes and

Saggers. HOWZAT.

Just a few interesting facts emerging from the cobwebs of

history and to be highlighted within The Randwick Petersham

Cricket Club’s upcoming Museum. All this and more – much more

including artefacts going back as far as 1921 and up to our

more modern historical data.

Now – anyone who’s readin’ this I’m dependin’ n you to assist in

compilin’, donatin’ passin’ the word around – or doin’ whatever

you can do to assist in resurrecting what has gone before.

Now’s the time to record and display whatever we can grab in

honour of those great great players and administrators who

have set the scene for what we’ve got here t’day. And by that

‘great’ bit I mean anyone who’s been around this Club in day’s

gone by.

The Marrickville – Petersham – Marrickville Petersham –

Randwick – and Randwick Petersham Clubs are forever

intermingled and gettin’ onto 107 years of continued

Cricket participation and indeed double that due

to past separate identities. We’re all bloody proud

of that and this is our chance to further entrench

our identity as legendary participators in

Australia’s Cricket World.

Importantly- we are seeking artefacts dating back a

bit in time before they are lost forever. If you

happen to know any old cricket family members who may

have something gatherin’ dust – these are where these

veritable treasures are probably sittin’ at the back of the

garage in a box waiting to be unearthed. As I’ve said before -

we’re all bloody proud of this Club and now’s the time. Let’s do

it.

4th Grade Final

Randwick Petersham v Fairfield Liverpool

Saturday / Sunday 1 and 2 April 2006 at Coogee Oval

Winning a competition is not supposed to be easy and this Grand Final proved that to be oh so true!

We arrived excited, yet nervous, at a beautiful looking Coogee Oval on a gorgeous sunny day. We had not

played our opponents in the round matches so knew little about them except they had played well in their semi

finals.

At the toss, the day had become overcast, yet it was with joy that I called correctly and had no hesitation in

batting. Runs on the board in finals is an adage which has been proven time and again. However, at 6 for 29

after an hour and a half I wasn’t sure if that adage was going to ring quite true!

A nervous batting performance and good swing bowling saw us sink into deep trouble. Sean Gardner was first to

go pushing at a ball he wouldn’t have in different circumstances followed by Fabian Heaton who also feathered

one. The skipper then walked into large volumes of noise and watched in agony as a ball he played onto his foot

rolled onto the stumps to dislodge a bail. 3 for 16.

Tony Martin marched in to weather a storm but a downpour of a different sort saw the players leave the field for

20 minutes. On return the wicket was a little greasy and Ted Neaves departed after a tentative pull shot followed

by the “Prince” who got a ball that rose sharply to take the gloves. Marc Anderson walked to the wicket, but

walked back two balls later after being bowled. The scoreline read 6 for 29.

It was now we needed to show some true grit. Tony Martin and Darren McCoy did just that to take us to lunch at

6 for 70. A poor over before lunch had given us 11 runs and seemed to have shifted momentum a little our way.

We needed more of the same after the break but on 83, Tony departed for a hard earned but valuable 25. Darren

“Macca” McCoy remained solid as a rock, running well and picking off a few fours to reach 43 when he chipped

one back to the spinner. A great finals innings full of intent. But three runs later we were in trouble again when

Matt Wallis, who had been batting well for 23 holed out to deep mid-wicket leaving us precariously placed at 9

for 123.

That wicket brought together the best number eleven in the business in Chad Greenberg (my little all rounder!)

and a determined Chris Singh (not the worst 10!). Theirs was the partnership of the match. They added 40

enterprising runs to take us to 163 before Chad fell lbw for a fabulous 27.

Was it enough? We knew we had a chance if we took wickets in the 40 remaining overs and had their middle

order under pressure. We started slowly – straining a little too much but at 15 Matt Wallis produced a beauty to

remove their opener and then the number three, both caught behind.

In walked their star. A man more used to 2 nd Grade walked in wearing a cap and talking to their number 3 about

his dismissal. He didn’t stay much longer though, top edging a pull shot first ball to a happy Chad at square leg.

Now we were well in it. Chris Singh showed his class next over removing their skipper and with Matt Wallis

chipping in again we went to stumps with Fairfield 6 down for 80 runs. The ball was now in our court.

Day two dawned and another beautiful sky. This game would be decided on who held their nerve the longest.

A strong push by Wallis and Singh in the morning was unable to budge anyone until Wallis produced another

superb leg cutter to dislodge the number eight. 7 for 95.

42

Both bowlers had bowled their hearts out and so Chad was introduced followed by “Macca”. At the other end

“Prince” Hartshorne began a superb spell of accuracy with his canny mixture of straight ones and arm balls.

Momentum was now with us. The game had stalled with runs nowhere to be had and the field in. First “Macca”

found the edge, Fabian dived, missed, but the Prince kept his hands in the right place. 8 for 110.

“Prince” wheeled away. Maiden after maiden until finally a sweep, an appeal and on his way. 9 for 120. Lunch

came at 9 down. No time for food. Just keep the quality going. Some more tight overs followed before slow

motion set in as an edged drive floated to Matt Wallis at second slip. He held it and all hell broke loose. All out

and 35 behind on the first innings!

However, it wasn’t over yet. There were still three and a half hours of cricket left, something the skipper

reminded the players on the field. “Let’s kill the game – 2 hours of good batting and it’s all over”. But at 5 for 42

an hour later, we were back in the land of heart attacks!

Sean and Ted started well enough but a loose cut from Ted and another nick from Sean saw us 2 for 14. The

skipper and Fabian steadied the ship but an ill advised cut from the captain saw us totter again followed by

Fabian loosing his stumps and Tony playing around one after some nice blows. At 5 for 42 we couldn’t believe

it. “Prince” in on a pair had hearts racing with a lofted drive that just cleared extra cover before he and “Ando”

settled in to play straight and with determination.

Tea came at 5 for 70 with plenty of work to be done but soon afterwards “Prince” top edged a pull and we were

back in trouble. Enter “Macca” a second time to join a cool “Ando” and suddenly the spinners were introduced.

Runs started to come more easily and at 130 ahead with an hour left, “Ando” flashed at a wide one and was

caught behind. “Oh no!” we thought until we turned round to see “Macca “shaking hands with their skipper who

had decided enough was enough. It was all over and the hugs and jubilation that followed were a combination of

relief and absolute joy. When you win them the hard way they are that much sweeter!

4th Grade Report by David Townsend, Captain

Position in Competition: 1st – Major and Minor Premiers

As I stood lifting the Reid Cup at Coogee Oval on that first weekend in April, it was with a sense of many

emotions: relief, joy, satisfaction and pride were all there in equal parts. These Premierships are very difficult to

win. So much can go wrong. A few bad games, vital injuries, weather and form can all cause the season to fold.

We faced many of these and were able to overcome them. We stared at defeat in both the Semi Final and Final

but were able to summon enough determination and grit to make it our season. These are the memories I will

take from this year.

The season started routinely enough with a solid one-day win over North Sydney back in September. New faces

were introduced that were to feature prominently over the year. Peter Alevizos immediately showed the form

that was to propel him to higher grades while a fresh faced ‘Spalding’ from Orange opened the innings with

Darren “Macca” McCoy. Sixteen years old Sean Gardner had started his Grade career.

A hard earned victory over University of NSW followed. This game saw the emergence of Matt Wallis. Fresh

from park cricket, he called me over when I asked him to bowl round the wicket to a left-hander – ‘why should I

do that’ he asked. ‘Because it will bring LBW into play and give you a better chance of bowled’ I responded. ‘I

never thought of that’ he said strolling back to his mark! He thought of many other things though as he showed

an incredible rapid rise to success.

A good one-day win at Campbelltown where Campbell Dash took a record 7 catches in an innings was followed

by a disappointing loss to Penrith. Then while the skipper rested up in Melbourne, “Macca” McCoy rang me

after Day 1. ‘How did we do’ I asked’. ‘Great…9 for 110’ he replied. ‘Unfortunately they ended up on 170 and

we are 4 for 40’! The next week saw the first of many heart attack moments as Gary Cuddy and Emerson

Wilshire calmly knocked off 15 for the last wicket to get us home.

A one-day loss to Sydney University and the season was starting to look shaky and after getting bowled out for

91 v Mosman it was unravelling. However, during the week I had placed a call to the retired Greg “Prince”

Hartshorne. Claiming that influenza had hit the club and we had lost 12 players, I slowly talked him into playing

again. A first ball duck and dropped catch had not renewed his appetite for the game but with 10 to win and 2

wickets left for Mosman, I threw him the ball. A quick lbw and diving catch by Ted Neaves on the boundary

and we were home by 3 runs! Heart attack number 2.

This was without doubt the turning point of the year. We had shown that we could win from anywhere and more

importantly were on line for that vital Minor Premiership that makes the road so much smoother.

A good chase against Hawkesbury followed by a dismal loss versus Northern District saw us into Christmas. I

was content though, because I knew our draw got easier and that the side we needed was slowly taking shape.

An annihilation of Bankstown first game back set us off on a run. This game saw Chris Singh emerge as a vital

cog with his ability to beat batsmen through pace and swing and he showed it here with 5 for 12.

Injuries and unavailabilities forced us to play up to four “Green Shielders” over the following three games.

Congratulations to Khan Haretuku, Andrew Redman and Rob Close for reacting to that challenge so well. The

side was able to adapt to this situation with the senior players stepping in to produce some top performances,

even though St George declined to chase 240 off 80 overs for fear the rate was too taxing!

By round 13 the make-up of the side was almost complete. It had been put together to reflect all that I see as

vital to winning big games. It batted very deep, it contained a large number of all rounders, had athleticism in

the field and good options with pace and spin. All it needed now was to see the main goal. We spoke about egos

getting locked away as there was too much talent to worry about whose turn it was. Everyone would get a

chance to play their part as was proved in later matches.

44

A set back against Sutherland on a poor wicket didn’t phase us while a maiden Sean Gardner century in a

demolition of Blacktown in the final round, had us “rarin’ to go” for the semis. We were Minor Premiers and

had everything going for us. We now had to prove it all again over 3 matches.

As it turned out, our Qualifying Final opponent was Sutherland who had beaten us two rounds previously. A

beautiful wicket at Coogee (what a great ground for Finals!) greeted us and it was with pleasure that we called

correctly to set up a day’s batting.

We spoke before the game about partnerships and as it turned out, four of more than 50 were produced to take

us to 5 for 280 at stumps. Fabian “The Little Master” Heaton was the star with a great 80 odd not out that

showed him at his best – watertight defence yet putting the bad ball away no matter what the situation. Having

put our feet up to read the papers I was barely through the sports section when we dipped to 333 all out as the

tail struggled to cope with the new ball.

We knew we had the bowling to defend it though, and Sutherland found that chasing over 300 in 80 overs was

too tough an ask as “Singhy” started the procession and Marc Anderson and Chad Greenberg helped clean up

the tail. 178 all out and we were one step closer.

Campbelltown at Coogee was our next mission. Semi finals are slightly different in that there is no second

chance. You could sense everyone knew that as we bowled and fielded superbly after losing the toss to have the

“Ghosts” at 6 for 60 by mid afternoon. Then came the session that can wreck your season. We suddenly lost our

way and a combination of ragged bowling and fielding and a growing partnership meant that we were suddenly

facing 7 for 270 by stumps.

The morning brought the first signs of real tension as we realised that we had two choices: get the runs or bat

the day out. We chose the latter with Ted Neaves going just before lunch followed by Fabian in mid afternoon.

Tony Martin and myself decided we weren’t going to leave it to anyone and proceeded to create Fort Knox at

both ends, much to the growing discontent of an articulate and encouraging opposition!

When Tony finally departed with an hour to go we were there. Five for 180 chasing 270 was never pretty but it

was what was required on the day. It had been a battle but the composure we showed was borne of wanting a

chance to play in the big one.

As for THAT MATCH (the Final) – it was never in doubt as the report which follows this one, will show!

THE PLAYERS

Sean Gardner: Gard’s learnt a lot this year although much of it from Teddy Neaves should probably be deleted

from the memory! It was difficult for him being the only ‘Spalding’ in the side and you could see his joy when

Redman, Haretuku etc got selected! He stuck at it well though and a batting return of 426 runs for the year was

excellent. His first grade hundred against Blacktown carried a grin that could not be removed and he played

very well in the Qualifying Final v Sutherland. His is a career of great potential and I expect to see him push on

to 1st Grade. Shame about the over againstBalmain!

Ted Neaves: Ted is a great ‘team man’ and was always able to lift the dressing room with stories of X rated

nights out. Yet what sometimes gets forgotten with Ted is that he is an excellent batsman who can really play.

His cover driving and timing often got us off to great starts and his innings throughout the finals were first rate.

He also provided energy in the field apart from that fateful day at Sutherland when a wrong ground and troubled

taxi ride caused him to find a new position at fine leg! A pleasure to play with, Ted has that great joy in the

team ethic which is priceless.

Fabian Heaton: The “Little Master” was the heartbeat of the side this year. His joy in other people’s success

and determination with everything he did made him oh so valuable to this Premiership year. Once again he

‘kept with gusto and although not always moving like Phar Lap, he took any chance coming his way. With the

45

bat he was all guts and cuts! His innings in the Qualifying and Semi Finals were vintage Fabian: watchful

defence, strong off the pads and cutting beautifully. He also showed some form on the dance floor post final

bringing back memories of a young John Travolta! No one deserved this victory more than this man.

Tony Martin: Tony endured a tough first half of the year to show his qualities in the big matches at semi final

time. Tony is the sort of guy that offered something to the team at all times whether with a great run out, smart

catch or all round encouragement. Once he got his feet moving at year’s end he was vital in the middle order

playing great knocks in both the semis and final. He also offered good ‘country’ advice to Sean and others and

taught me some phrases that I had never heard before! Having not played much cricket with Tony before it was

great to share this victory with him this year.

Greg Hartshorne: It took a phone call after round 5 and a suggestion that the plague had hit the club, but I got

my man. “The Prince” was on board! A first ball duck and dropped catch in his comeback game had him

questioning his decision but with 2 wickets to get he produced a couple of magic arm balls to get us home v

Mosman! Getting away from the value of experience the most important fact is that “Prince” is still a very fine

cricketer and it was his all round on-field talents that were vital to our year. His spell in the final where he

simply restricted the batsmen was vital to our win, as was his slip catching and cameo hitting. He also stayed

calm at vital times and was one of the few to be able to translate for Fabian after a wicket!

Darren McCoy: “Macca” and I had endured a tough couple of years with two previous Final losses so it was

great to see him be there at the end to win this one for us. Macca’s Grand Final performance sums up his

cricket: fiercely competitive and always producing something that counts. He saved his best batting form for the

Final to relive memories of the hook (top edge!) for 6 off The Whit some years ago! His bowling has been

superb every season I’ve played with him: controlled outswing with an intensity that the pace shouldn’t

necessarily allow! It’s a joy to play cricket with him and he sets a standard of preparation and intensity others

would do well to follow.

Mark Anderson: “Ando” is a cricketer I rate very highly in that he often produces under pressure and provided

another accomplished all rounder to the team. Once again this year he continued to chip in with meaningful

performances including good knocks against Uni of NSW and in the Final as well with consistent bowling

spells. Not likely to be fined for speaking too much, he was capable of the odd explosion most notably when he

demolished his helmet at Coogee! He made up for this in his purchase of an alarm clock for the Grand Final that

operated an hour slower than the rest of Sydney!

Matt Wallis: Matt’s improvement was massive this year and his desire to learn quickly and work out how he

was going to improve went a long way to explaining his easy transition from park to Grade. To do this you need

talent, which he possesses in abundance. He was able to bowl ‘jaffas’ in all grades and if he could produce a run

that didn’t resemble dodging traffic he might add another yard of pace! His spell in the Final was worthy of

joint man-of the-match and he matched this with some great cameos with the bat. None was better than

Sutherland Oval where he smashed 6 sixes to nearly get us home. He also worked out my captaincy quicker

than most and stood a little deeper to receive the ball if a half volley had disappeared to the boundary! A great

season and he is deserving of all his awards.

Chris Singh: “Singhy” is a fine cricketer and was someone who I knew would be vital to our success this year.

His extra pace through the air and ability to create dismissals on flat wickets makes him a great strike bowler.

His partnership with Matty Wallis offered the team a great strike force that complemented each other well. I

rated his batting highly enough to think he could bat anywhere from one to eleven but it was at 10 that he

starred in the Final, putting on a vital 40 with Chad Greenberg to get us to 163. Chris will do well in whatever

grade he plays and we were lucky to have him in our side this year. I would love to see him turn his talents with

the bat into more fifties next year.

Chad Greenberg: The greatest compliment that can be paid to Chad is that he makes things happen in the game

and he wants to be involved. Sometimes players fear certain situations, but Chad always wants the opportunity

to be the match winner and that is a great strength. He was also versatile with the bat, turning from pinch hitting

opener to experienced number eleven in the Grand Final, a position he relished without the slightest protest! As

46

an off-spinner, he is a wicket taker and keeps taking the challenge to the batsmen (although he went a little far v

Sutherland at Coogee with cars getting moved!). His spell against Wests was a great example of sustained attack

and he was duly rewarded with a “6 for”. Chad is great for the dressing room and brings the right mix of

humour and fun. I enjoyed playing with him greatly and won’t easily forget the contributions of my ‘little all

rounder’!

Mel Singh: Despite limited opportunities with the ball, Mel had his moments this year taking vital wickets

against Wests and St George. It’s always tough for a leg spinner who’s not getting the overs and with the

number of all rounders the side possessed, Mel sometimes missed out. Yet he remained positive and played his

part when required and there is no doubt that there are many great moments to come for him. He knows that

when he is fit and firing there are endless opportunities for him. It was great to see him share in the Final victory

and be part of something that he helped create. He also showed me the greatest set of wedding photos since

Charles and Di!

Thanks also to all the other players who played a major part during the course of the year. All those

contributions helped us achieve the Premiership.

It was a special year. To captain a Premiership side is extra special and to achieve it with a bunch of guys whose

company I enjoyed greatly, particularly after such a taxing Grand Final, made it doubly satisfying.

These things rarely take place without a quality support team.

This year I was able to secure the services of “Mr Premiership” John Connell as Team Manager. “The Ger” is a

gem. He creates a calm in the storm at times and was always available with kind words of support or solid

baggings of “Fous’” efforts as “Fine Cotton Asst. Ger”! JC worked tirelessly and nothing was ever too much

trouble. His choice of beer was always spot on, he never ran out of snakes and he massaged aching torsos that

CSI Miami wouldn’t have touched! Thanks Ger – you were superb.

Many thanks also to our other team member, our popular scorer Lynette. Whether we were 6 for 30 or 1 for 280,

Lynette always had a smile on her face and the guys enjoyed her company and appreciated her efforts in turning

up each week. We were sad that she missed some of the post Grand Final celebrations as I would have backed

her to beat “Redders” in the skulling from the cup competition! A great girl and someone we hope is around for

a long time to come – many thanks Lynette.

Thanks also to the many people in the background who helped this year. All the tea ladies, and particularly

Robin Gardner, who relished our success with such joy and always has a kind word. Thanks also to the

committee for their great support and Green Options for producing such great wickets and facilities.

Thanks to the coaching staff including David “Skewey” Skuthorpe who keeps fielding drills going with a 200

year old bat and also to Chris “Fous” Sullivan whose invaluable support during the Finals helped calm nerves

no end as well as loyal supporter “Tom Moody” for his quiet encouragement of the Fairfield batsmen in the

Final!

Well done to the 5’s for a great win also. Let’s do it all again next year!

5th Grade Report by Dean White, Captain

Position in competition: 1st— Premiers

To put it simply, it was a fantastic year. For me personally it was my career highlight. For the team all

the hard work had paid off and for the club it was justice that the 5th Grade trophy had finally been

won. To win the David Sherwood Cup we won 10 games in a row, a great achievement from a 5th

Grade team as there is always a large player turnover. In all, we had 32 players this year and all made

their own personal contribution to our triumphant season.

When I first joined the team in round 7 we had won 2, lost 3 and tied 1 game. However, on 15 points

we were still in contact with the top 6. Our side had a good balance of youth and experience and a lot

of confidence. However things didn’t go as planned in the match against Mosman and we were beaten.

Next was the long road to Richmond to face top-of-the-table, Hawkesbury. With 5 changes to the team,

we put on a good bowling performance but our batting didn’t fire and we were well beaten. Adding to

this we lost our skipper Steve Bright with a broken finger, so things were not looking good.

With round 9 upon us and the Christmas break following, we were back at home and knew that it was

now or never. I had taken over as skipper and 1st grader Matt Taylor was filling in with us for one

game. We won the toss and batted against the ND boys. That was as close as ND’s got to us that day.

“Tails” showed his higher grade class with a brutal 138 as we posted 5 for 289. Ben West was the pick

of our bowlers as we restricted them to 223 and started our roll toward the finals.

After Christmas, games against Bankstown, West’s, St George, UTS Balmain, Sutherland and

Blacktown came and went with us coming out on top each time. It must be said that along the way

there were some very close shaves but every member of the side put their hand up to be counted at one

time or another. We finished the season in a hard fought 3rd position, giving us the advantage of a

home qualifying final.

In the Qualifying Final we played Fairfield Liverpool, a team we had not played during the season, at

Kensington Oval. We won the toss and batted on a flat track but got off to the worst start possible,

losing Andrew Walters first over for 0. Glen Carroll (23) and the skipper (26) added valuable runs

while top scorer Sean “Ports” Porter (50) kept the scoreboard ticking over. Matt Hilder (23), Jake Berry

(22), Steve Bright (19) and Grant Rimmer (19) all helped to get our total to a competitive 200 all out. It

was not as many as we would have liked but our bowlers had done the job all year and we were

confident they would again.

With time remaining on the first day we were after a couple of quick wickets to get us rolling but it

wasn’t to be as Fairfield started well and finished the day at 0 for 35. On the second day we were fresh

and eager and a wicket to Dean White in the first over got the ball rolling. With Ben West steaming in

at the other end and taking his “first pole”, Fairfield was in trouble at 2 for 49.

The introduction of Steve Bright was more bad news for the boys from out west as he tore through their

top order taking 5 wickets before lunch to have Fairfield tottering at 7 for 107 and us in the drivers seat.

Another wicket to the skip straight after lunch had us thinking of an early finish but Fairfield weren’t

going to give up. A 39 run 9th wicket stand was broken with a great caught and bowled by Jake Berry

and we were one wicket away.

Needing 47 to win, their number 5 cut loose and the next thing we knew they needed 2 to win. Some

confusion about when the new ball was due seemed to distract their batsman and I was able to sneak

one through his defences for a memorable win.

50

Now the Semi Final was sudden death. Penrith were at home at Howell Oval after finishing 2nd by

beating Hawkesbury easily the week before. They had beaten us in a close encounter earlier in the year

but with our team now stronger and on a high, we were quietly confident.

We won the toss. Needing to win we sent them in on what looked like a “belter”. Ben West and Dean

White both struck early to have Penrith 2 for 14. A couple of dropped chances and they were getting

away before Grant Rimmer chipped in with 3 wickets in 3 overs to have them 5 for 80 at lunch.

Steve Bright got his first wicket just after lunch to make it 6 for 86. Matty Hilder, John Tierney and the

skip then all got wickets to bowl them out for 164. This time our dig started much better. Walters and

Carroll were looking in total control with 76 when Carroll (37) was first to go. The skipper didn’t hang

around long and when Porter, Walters (41) and night watchman Rimmer followed soon after, things

looked shaky at 5 for 102. Hilder and Tierney got to stumps and on day 2 added another 30 until we

lost Tierney (19) at 6 for 131. Berry joined Hilder and when he was out, victory was only 6 runs away.

“Westy” partnered Hilder to victory and then to Hilder’s 50 before Ben was dismissed. Bright and

Hilder added 62 while Matty reached his 100 (out 105) and Andrew Redman was there with “Brighty”

when we called stumps. Now on to the Final after another tough win!

Before reporting on the Final, I have to say that you don’t win a premiership without some special

performances and some special support people. I would like to quickly name a few.

Our openers Andrew Walters and Glen Carroll started late but formed a solid opening pair, which we

badly needed. Both will kick on to higher grades if their attitude and desire is there.

Matthew Hilder, our player of the season and final series. 440 runs at an average of 40.00 (182 at 60.66

in the finals) and 22 wickets at 10.95 runs apiece. The stats tell the story. After a good start to the

season Matt spent time in higher grades without much luck, returning and becoming our “go to” man.

His 105 in the Semi Final was truly a great knock. He also chipped in with a handy 7 for 45 including a

hat trick against Sutherland.

Sean Porter was the find of the year. He was dropped early on but trained hard and took his chance

with a 50 and a 117 when he returned. “Ports” should continue to improve and is still a PG’s player.

I let all who would listen know what respect I had for Ben West’s bowling when I first saw him in

round 7. His 28 wickets at 20.04 is a great result but he bowled much better than that. It was his first

full year of Grade Cricket and if work commitments allow him to train more, he will be playing higher

grades very soon. His opening spell in the Grand Final was as quick as I’d seen all year.

Steve Bright, John Tierney, Grant Rimmer and Ben Chaplin all had good seasons and their

performances had a big impact on our final result. Jake Berry and Graham Hinds are young stars of the

future with our club. Both were in and out of the team all year but never gave up and had some great

moments, which helped us win games. Jake was a member of our finals side.

Andrew Redman is a joy to captain and a quality young cricketer. He filled in everywhere in the batting

order and always put the team first. His wicketkeeping improved over the season and I’m sure he is a

future 1st grader in the making.

There are so many support staff to name. Peter and Janice Chaplin were there all year with afternoon

tea and anything else we needed. Janice Chaplin also produced an immaculate scorebook. A big thank

you to Angela Redman and Julie Berry for what they did all year, especially in the Qualifying Final at

Kenso and the Final. A huge vote of thanks to Peter Carroll and big Richard McCord for their efforts in

the finals series as well as our 12th man Matt Shiner. And last but not least, to all the dads, mums,

girlfriends, wives and friends who supported us along the way.

51

In closing I would like to congratulate our 4th Grade boys on winning the premiership and to all other

grades for another successful season. I look forward to seeing you all at preseason training, ready to

defend the premiership!

5th Grade Final

Randwick Petersham v Fairfield Liverpool

Saturday / Sunday 1and 2 April 2006 at Village Green, Uni NSW

It was a replay of the Qualifying Final with us up against Fairfield Liverpool once again. The major

difference being that we only needed a draw now that we were the higher placed team. In that position

a very flat wicket at Village Green meant that winning the toss wasn’t all that important. As it turned

out, I lost the toss and we were sent in to bat.

Our goal was to occupy the crease and build partnerships so we could post a good total. Walters and

Carroll got us off to another great start with 71 for the first wicket. We lost both openers quickly and

when Sean Porter feathered one down the leg side we fell to be 3 for 128. Matt Hilder and I got our

heads down and made slow progress until Fairfield’s leg spinner gave us a few loose ones and we

started to get on top.

Just before tea I nicked one behind and then John Tierney went first ball (the second time in the finals

against Fairfield) and we were 5 for 170 at tea. After the break, Jake Berry joined Hilder and they

added another 30 before Jake then Ben West fell in consecutive overs with the score 7 for 201. When

our rock Matty Hilder (54) was dismissed, we were 8 for 219 and still had a lot of work to do.

Steve Bright was joined by Grant Rimmer and they dug in. They only added 17 but used up plenty of

overs and tired out the bowlers. Rimmer was out at 9 for 236 and it was starting to look good. Andrew

Redman was last man in and he and Bright saw us through to stumps with both looking very

determined to add to our total as they left the ground.

The next day we had an earlier start and “Brighty” and “Redders” batted for 11 important overs until

Andrew was finally dismissed. We had set ourselves 260 to defend and were very confident as no side

had scored more than 230 against us all season. Before we headed out to bowl, we were lucky enough

to have club President Michael Whitney give us a stirring speech to fire us up for the job ahead.

Fairfield’s captain surprised us by opening the innings himself and showed from ball one he was after

fast runs. We helped his cause with a couple of dropped catches. However, Ben West had other ideas as

he charged in with the wind and had him backing away and well caught by Tierney in the gully to get

us on our way at 1 for 26. We had said for weeks that one great catch or run out could change a game

and that’s what happened next when Jake Berry picked up the ball one handed and hit with one stump

to aim at to have them 2 for 36.

We kept chipping away as the ball got older. When Hilder and White managed 2 wickets each, we

looked in control at 6 for 147 although there was still a lot of cricket left. A 50 run partnership had us a

little on edge at tea until Matty Hilder’s freak run out and 2 quick wickets to John Tierney had us just

one wicket away. “Westy” was back on down breeze and a nick to ‘keeper Andrew Redman was all we

needed for sweet victory.

The 2005-06 5th Grade Premiership was ours!

The celebrations quickly got under way and for some, continued well into the next day!

6th Grade Report by David Holland, Manager

Position in Competition: Green 4th; Gold 7th

The club entered two Sixth Grade teams (Gold and Green) into the Metropolitan Cup competition

this season as it had done in the previous season reflecting the club’s strong player numbers. We

again took a leading role in managing and administering the Metro Cup Competition which this

season attracted 18 teams from both Grade and Shires clubs.

The aim of the Sixth Grade teams is to encourage and develop players of all standards but

particularly those recently transferring from junior ranks who are new to senior cricket and wishing

to play Grade cricket. There is an emphasis upon integration of players, development of their

abilities, and performance on the field. A key aspect is the emphasis upon training for particularly

the younger players who can mix with and learn from more experienced grade players.

The teams were most successful with RP Gold 7th (9 wins, 8 losses) and RP Green 4th (10 wins, 7

losses). While RP Green lost in the Cup Semi Final to the strong Sydney University team, RP Gold

went through to the Shield Final and was unlucky to be defeated by the Hawkesbury team.

The teams were well captained by Shane Brien who led the Green team and George Frazakis and

later Denis Hinds who captained the Gold team. The results and performance of the teams were in a

large part forged by the leadership of the captains and it is important in future seasons that to have

successful teams in this competition, we identify players who can effectively lead and manage

teams with players of all age groups and abilities.

A number of players made significant

contributions. Only one player scored a century –

Graham Hinds (120 v UTS Balmain) while a

number scored 50’s including George Frazakis,

Alistair Davis, Ben Chaplin, Glen Jones, Trent

Robinson, Adam Lee, Sean Porter, Denesh Hewa

Gamage, Alex Tomkins, Jake Berry, Alan Wright,

Prinya Kham, Brendan Ward, Luke Towers, Yves

Silveira, Khan Haretuku and Scott Manning.

Players to take five or more wickets include, Denis

Hinds (6 for 52 v Holroyd Hills) and Graham Hinds

(5 for 14 v South Sydney). Although Sean Porter,

Adam Lee, Nathan Boyd, Trent Robinson, Alex

Tomkins, Jake Berry, Glen Jones, John Stewart and

Daniel Levitt all bowled well and consistently

during the season.

The wicket keeping duties were competently

undertaken by Tom Holland for Green (16 catches, 5 stumpings, 69 byes) and George Frazakis for

Gold (18 catches, 1 stumping, 45 byes). Both had successful seasons.

Finally can I thank those who helped behind the scenes who assisted with afternoon teas and in

particular Alan Wright in the organisation of teams and selections.

Graham Hinds – 6th Grade

International Schoolboys Match

Randwick Petersham Combined Schoolboys v

St Alban’s College, Pretoria, South Africa Kensington Oval 6th January 2006

This was our first match against a touring schoolboys team from St Albans College, Pretoria in South Africa. St Albans was founded in 1963 by Anton Murray a South African test cricketer and has a strong cricketing tradition. They are currently ranked 6th from the 20 private schools which comprise the main junior cricket competition. Current test players A B de Villiers and Jacques Rudolph are old boys of St Albans. St Alban’s had planned to play a number of independent schools on their two week tour to NSW and Queensland but arriving in January when schools are on holidays had made organising games difficult. We agreed to step in and arrange a game. Our game against St Albans was played against the backdrop of the fifth day of the Third Test - Australia v South Africa - being played at the SCG. There were a few long faces in the South African contingent as we watched (on the fuzzy TV in the Kenso kitchen) Ricky Ponting steer the Australians to victory.

The match got underway an hour and a half late and was played on a damp wicket. Prior to the delayed start both teams warmed up with the South Africans conscientious and determined in a wide range of warm up activities while our boys, in their warm ups, were typically ‘Australian’ - laid back and carefree. However, once the game got going both teams engaged as fiercely as the other. Losing the toss and being sent in to bat did not augur well on a day when the bowlers dominated. After 15 overs we were 6 for 17 with the St Albans bowlers taking full advantage of the damp wicket and our batsmen not adjusting their techniques to suit the conditions. Eventually we struggled to 67 all out in the 43rd over with Andrew Walters and Jake Berry scoring 15 each and offering the only resistance.

We bowled much better than we batted with Adam Lee and Peter Alevizos taking early wickets. At 5 for 36 off 23 overs we were in with a chance with Captain Glen Carroll rotating his bowlers and placing fields effectively, but St Albans settled and scored the remaining runs to be 6/69 at the conclusion off

33 overs. Adam Lee was the pick of the bowlers taking 2/13 off 10 and Peter Alevizos 1/ 9 off 9. Alex Tomkins also chipped in with 2/4 off 6.

Grateful thanks must go to Peter Chaplin and Peter Ellison for undertaking the umpiring duties and to Debra Cush, Eilish Holland and Julia Berry for preparing a great lunch for a crowd of around 80 - mostly South African family and supporters – probably the biggest crowd Kenso has seen in many years. Also thanks to Janice Chaplin who is certainly amongst our best scorers.

The game was played in good spirit and at the conclusion of the game we presented each of the St Albans boys with an RP training shirt. An RP cap was also presented which will go back to be hung at St Albans College. They in turn presented a plaque to us with their College crest. Photographs were taken and great memories of this day will remain.

Our team comprised: Glen Carroll (Captain); Peter Alevizos; Andrew Walters; Garry Cuddy; Ben Chaplin;Tom Holland; Graham Hinds; Alex Tompkins; Daniel Levitt; Hugo Marshall; Jake Berry; Adam Lee.

Poidevin Gray Shield (Under 21 years)

by Eddie Otto, Captain

Position in Competition: 9th

The Under 21's campaign started like a house on fire yet ended with a whimper. A sea of injuries and the

unavailability of leading players at key times proved costly as our depth was tested thoroughly. Leading

contributors Jade Dernbach, Chris Whelan, Usman Khawaja, Peter Alevizos and Jamie Boettiger were all

forced to miss games for a variety of reasons, whilst Eddie Otto was hampered by a broken finger. The team

managed to win three of its first four games and was on track for a semi final berth before disappointing losses

to Manly and Campbelltown Camden in the final two weeks of the season. However, it was certainly a season

to build on with plenty of younger players including Will Passass and Campbell Dash making their mark as

future stars of the club.

Despite missing out on the semi finals, there were a number of positives to come out of the season. Boettiger

proved a more then handy signing for the club topping both the batting and bowling aggregates. A quiet lad, he

let his cricket do the talking, bowling with control with the new ball and opening the batting with purpose - a

true all round performance. The side fielded three English imports this season, forcing other sides to check

whether we were indeed under the Under 21's Salary Cap. Chris Whelan, the fiery Middlesex youngster was

our most consistent batsman with some gutsy yet entertaining performances in the middle order. Most notably

the lap sweep for four off the Fairfield opening bowler to get us home in a tight run chase. While erratic at

times with the ball, Chris certainly got batsman jumping around and provided us with aggression up front.

Jade Dernbach was forced home after just two games, but not before terrorising both Uni and Gordon. Jade's

pace and swing proved too much for both top orders, and we missed his fiery spells more than anything as the

season went on. Aaron Harinath provided some stability at the top of the order. While making a lot of starts, I

know Aaron was disappointed not to go on and make some big scores. Aaron made an effort to get to know

everyone in the team and was a valued import. Eddie Otto started the season well with three consecutive 40's.

A broken finger coincided with a dip in form. Normally one of the more consistent performers with the ball,

Eddie was frustrated with his lack of wickets. This perhaps culminated into a 14 ball over at Raby as Eddie

tried his hand at medium pacers. Every teams needs a Shaun Tait! Usman Khawaja performed solidly with both

bat and ball. Usman was unlucky to be given out on a couple of occasions and a massive under 21's season

surely awaits, as he dominates every other form of cricket. Peter Alevizos showed exactly why he is the club’s

next up and coming star. His performances with the new ball were both wholehearted and skillful. Peter's

ability to bowl accurately while gaining swing and seam movement will leave batsman guessing in years to

come. Campbell Dash, our young ‘keeper/batsman, impressed in front and behind the wickets. A total of 10

catches included some very athletic interceptions. He is a positive batsman who will bat higher in the order in

ensuing seasons. Will Passass, along with Campbell, will be a key player in next season's team. Will was our

leading scorer in our last two games and also showed potential with the ball.

The team also had numerous other young players gain some valuable experience. These players will form the

basis of what will certainly be an exciting team in future seasons. A big thanks to coach Peter Devlin. Also

thanks to Peter Carroll, the team manager and all the parents and club players and supporters, who came and

watched the team run around on Sundays.

Summary of Matches Round 1 v Sydney University @ Coogee Oval

Our pace attack of Jade Dernbach (2-25) and Jamie Boettiger (5-21) was a bit too much for the

students and they were knocked over for just 147 after Usman Khawaja (3-23) did the clean up work.

The match was all over in just the 31st over with Usman remaining unconquered on 49 while Eddie

Otto’s 39 set up a very decisive win.

Won by 7 wickets 3-148 to 147

60

Round 2 v Parramatta @ Old Kings

Rain all day. Match washed out without a ball bowled.

Match drawn

Round 3 v Gordon @ Petersham Oval

A similar match to the first with the pace of Jade Dernbach (3-35) and Peter Alevizos (1-35) putting

the skids through the early Highlanders batting. Garry Cuddy (3-21) did the mop up work while

skipper Eddie Otto again batted well for an undefeated 48. Jamie Boettiger got the side off to a solid

start with a well compiled 34 to record a good win.

Won by 6 wickets 4-147 to 9-145

Round 4 v Bankstown @ Petersham Oval

Batting first, a good score looked likely at 3 for 153 with Eddie Otto (42) and Chris Whelan (80) in

full swing. With their dismissals however, the wheels fell off and our last six wickets fell for just 26.

The Bankstown Boys made short work of the run chase, mowing down our 179 in just 30 overs for

the loss of only two wickets. Not a good match for us.

Lost by 8 wickets 9-179 to 2-180

Round 5 v Fairfield Liverpool @ Coogee Oval

Peter Alevizos (4-41) and Jamie Boettiger (3-27) put the Lions batsmen on the back foot early before

a middle order fightback enabled them to post a competitive total. But the issue never looked in doubt

as Aaron Harinath and Jamie Boettiger attacked the bowling from the start, putting on 112 for the first

wicket. With Harinath gone for 35, Boettiger continued the onslaught and it was a real disappointment

to see him go just 5 runs short of what would have been a well-earned century. A hiccup towards the

end when our last 7 wickets fell for 36 almost spoiled the party before Chris Whelan (24 not out) and

young Graham Hinds (1 not out) managed to get the side across the line with just one over to spare.

Won by 2 wickets 8-211 to 210

Round 6 v Manly Warringah @ Manly Oval

Once again the batting let the side down with the last 6 wickets falling for 46 after the score line read

a healthy 4 for 145 at one stage. Only Andrew Walters (45), Will Passass (43) and Chris Whelan (41)

managed to pass 20. The bowlers didn’t fare much better with the Sea Eagles getting the runs just 5

down in 41 overs.

Lost by 5 wickets 191 to 5-196

Round 7 v Campbelltown Camden @ Raby no.1

A rain affected match with the bowlers on top. Bowling first, we knocked the Ghosts over for 160 in

37 overs with Jamie Boettiger showing the way with 4 for 38. He was well supported by Peter

Alevizos (2-26) and Will Passass (2-14). The batting was a problem however, with Sean Gardner and

Usman Khawaja both going for ducks and the score quickly slumping to 5 for 35. Will Passass’s 30

was the best of the remainder as the side crashed out for a season-low score of 103. A disappointing

finish.

Lost by 57 runs. 103 to 160

A.W Green Shield (Under 16 years)

Position in Competition: 4th (semi-finalists) by Grant Rimmer, Assistant Coach

After losing a lot of experience from our semi-final side of 2004-05, we weren’t quite sure what we

would deliver in 2005-06. We can now gladly report that this season was a very successful one with

the team finishing fourth. To make the semi-finals was a great effort as we played two matches less

than most other teams due to rain.

The boys put in a huge amount of work commencing in August, four months before the season

started, and thoroughly deserved their result. We were beaten by only one team, Campbelltown

Camden, which has not lost a match in this competition in the past two seasons.

While we had on-field success, just as importantly we also had off-field success. The members of

this team have developed friendships that will last them a lifetime.

Dimitri Alevizos bowled some really tight overs and began to think more about his length and line.

He took two crucial wickets against eventual premiers Campbelltown, finishing with 2/14 off 8.

Dimitri’s fielding showed commitment and he put his body on the line when it was most needed.

Rob Close had an outstanding season. His selection in the Green Shield Combined Side was a

deserved result of his consistent bowling and clean hitting in the lower order. He almost saw the

team to victory against Campbelltown with 32 runs. He always had opposing batsmen under

pressure and often went for less than 2 runs an over in his spells. His two catches against Fairfield

showed amazing athleticism. He also showed he was up to 4th Grade standard when he was

selected in that team.

Sam Duggan showed plenty of composure in the game against Manly. Coming in at 6 for 81

chasing 135, he scored 18 crucial runs in a gutsy knock. Sam proved that he will be an important

part of next year’s squad. He has a solid batting technique.

Sean Gardner’s captaincy was outstanding. He made some excellent decisions throughout the

season from fielding placements to bowling changes. His 46 against Sydney University and 32 not

out against Gordon were equally impressive, finding the middle of the bat on seemingly every shot.

His 60 against Fairfield Liverpool was a top quality knock.

The maturity and intelligence of Will Halstead really stood out in all his innings. Highlights were

his undefeated 49 against Manly where he steered the team home and his 51 in the Fairfield game

which was made up selective stroke making and fantastic running between wickets. Will always

thought about his game and how it could be taken to the next level. He was another who worked

extremely hard in fielding sessions.

Against Parramatta in game 1, Khan Haretuku scored 74 not out in a super display of power hitting

intermingled with intelligent singles running. He took a wicket in every game with the highlight

being a 3-for against semi-finalists Gordon, dismissing the two openers and the number 3. His

bowling continued to develop and he always sought ways to improve. Khan will be a great addition

to the grade ranks next year.

Prinya Kham’s 51 against Parramatta showed signs of class and maturity. He has many shots in his

repertoire and concentrates hard. He looked good against Gordon and was set for a big score before

63

rain intervened. He is great in the field and is always a chance to affect a run out with his speed and

agility.

Scott Manning had everyone in awe of his fielding. Whether it was bat-pad or in the ring, he always

pulled off amazing saves and kept the batsmen under pressure in doing so. Scott didn’t have many

opportunities with the bat but his work ethic at training suggests that he will be a valuable member

of next year’s team.

Nathan McCoy made a memorable debut taking 3 for 20 under pressure against Parramatta to help

achieve our first win. He swung the ball and bowled tidy lines and lengths and his spell against

Sydney Uni was most impressive. Nathan showed that he is a more than capable batsman,

possessing a good technique. He will certainly benefit from this season and will become a valuable

asset in next year’s squad.

Robbie Passass bowled exceptionally well against Campbelltown taking 2 big wickets. He bowled

consistently throughout the whole campaign with his outswinger really developing. His fielding was

a standout too, with his caught and bowled effort against Fairfield a classic catch which had to be

seen to be believed. Probably the best number 11 batsman in the competition.

Andrew Redman’s wicketkeeping improved significantly and he took a lot of catches due to his

good footwork. Andrew affected stumpings that weren’t always easy. He made quite a few starts

with his batting and it took some great deliveries to dismiss him. Having played with Andrew in a

few 4th and 5th Grade games, I have no doubt that season 2006-07 will prove very fruitful for him,

such is his desire.

Andrew Soames’ first game against Parramatta was arguably his best, taking 2 for15 off 10 overs.

He consistently bowled an off-stump line and often had the opposition playing and missing.

Andrew built the pressure by bowling maidens at regular intervals. He is a very good listener and

worked hard at his batting.

Tim Sullivan’s bowling spell against Sydney University (2 for 9 off 8 overs) went a long way in

deciding the outcome of the game. The bounce that he extracted from his height troubled most

batsmen. Tim has the ability to be a very good allrounder and I look forward to seeing his progress

in the grade ranks.

Alex Tomkins could always be relied on to put in 100% effort every game. He also has a sound

batting technique, which will hold up in both forms of the game. His 23 against Campbelltown was

a very smart knock. He managed to take 4 wickets against this side later in the finals series. Alex is

a super fielder and is adept either in the ring or in the outfield. He has a great pair of hands and has

a great throwing arm.

I would like to make special mention of the train-on boys, Matthew Coles, Jayden Gardner, Ben Lo

Presti. They turned up to nearly every session and helped out in significant ways on game days.

These players worked hard at improving their games and I am positive that they will have excellent

seasons in 2006-07.

Finally, I would like to congratulate team coach Darren McCoy for his professional approach and

thorough preparation of the side from the pre-season training to the last game. His knowledge of the

game, his attention to detail and rapport with the players all contributed to the team’s success.

Personally, I have learnt a lot from Darren in a short space of time and I look forward to the

opportunity, once again, to work with him next season.

A message from Darren McCoy, Coach

Our on-field success was in no small way due to the wonderful off-field support. There were many

who provided great assistance, but we simply couldn’t have operated without Grant Rimmer

(“Rims”) and John Connell (“JC). They were both a tower of strength and great source of humour.

Our playing squad is very lucky to have someone like Grant Rimmer to show the way. Grant’s

outstanding attitude and cool head was a great guide for us all. He was always thinking about what

was best for each individual’s development and balanced that with the team requirement.

JC just takes care of everything (drinks, lunch, team dinners and gear presentation) and makes our

job so much easier. The boys were impressed with JC’s singing of the club song and they certainly

remember (as do the neighbouring suburbs) the very loud words……. “SODA, GET OUT OF

THERE”.

Often the parent support (or lack of) can make or break a season and our parents were the best. I

wish to thank each and every one most sincerely. They sorted out teas, provided endless

refreshments, attended training sessions, covered pitches, drove many kilometres, supported all

players, managed the scoring duties, provided legal counsel, offered sponsorship, provided

statistical analysis (before, during and after matches) and not once did they offer any “selection

tips”, for this I am eternally grateful. Thank you parents one and all.

I would also like to thank a number of club mates for their assistance, Greg Hartshorne, Wayne

Mulherin, Michael Whitney, Alan Wright, Lyall Gardner and Ray Stafford for their unconditional

support of this years A W Green Shield program.

Summary of matches

Round 1 v Parramatta at Petersham Oval Won by 83 runs RP 9-215 to 132

The fielding was a highlight here. Haretuku (74) and Kham (51) batted superbly. McCoy was the

chief destroyer with 3-20, with Soames 2-15 and Close 2-14 assisting. Kham capped off a great day

with 3 catches.

Round 2 v Campbelltown Camden at Raby 1 Lost by 20 runs RP 176 to 9-196

We went within a whisker of defeating the team that remains undefeated for the past 2 years.

Campbelltown’s supporters went very quiet when Close (32) started smashing them to all parts of

the boundary. Gardner (40) and Halstead (30) were other important contributors.

Round 3 v Manly Warringah at Graham Reserve Won by 3 wkts RP 7-136 to 135

Close (3-19) and Tomkins (2-28) were two reasons why Manly were dismissed for 135. Redman’s

five dismissals were well deserved. After a middle-order collapse, Duggan (18) and Halstead (49)

steered the side home to make it 2 wins from 3 games.

Round 4 v Sydney University at Coogee Oval Won by 6 wkts RP 4-119 to 117

Close (3-13) and Sullivan (2-9) bowled economically to help bowl the prospective students out in

53 overs. Gardner (46) wasted no time in chasing down the runs in 44 overs.

Round 5 v Gordon at Coogee Oval Drawn (rain) RP 2-72 to 8-200

Gordon posted a competitive 200. Haretuku’s 3-38 was a solid bowling performance. Rain stopped

play in the 28th over in RP’s run chase at 2-72 with Gardner on 32 and Kham looking good on 15.

Very evenly placed but the rain ended it.

65

Round 6 v Bankstown at Jensen Oval Drawn-no play

No play due to rain and non covering of pitch. No result.

Round 7 v Fairfield-Liverpool at Fairfield Oval Won by 33 runs RP 7-155 to 122

A really tough, controlled performance under immense pressure. Great running between wickets by

Gardner (60) and Halstead (51) after lunch. 155 was always going to be hard to chase on a slow

wicket and outfield. Brilliant fielding, particularly by Close, Manning and Passass. This game

brought about the team highlight for the year when we sang the song after the win.

Semi-Final v Campbelltown Camden at Raby 1 Lost by 198 runs RP 58 to 8-250

Some great batting from Campbelltown put RP under pressure from the outset. We battled on

bravely but couldn’t match it with the eventual premiers.

The Award Winners - 2005-06

PLAYER OF THE SEASON The O A Taylor / Martin Bedkober Memorial Award

Sponsored by Babcock and Brown Ossie Taylor served the Randwick club as a player and administrator for 64 years before his death in 1976. He scored more than 4,500 runs and was Secretary for 19 years, the longest in the club’s history. The O A Taylor Memorial Player of the Season Award was first presented by the Randwick club in 1977. Martin Bedkober was a promising opening batsman and wicketkeeper with Petersham Marrickville before his untimely death in a cricket match in 1975 aged just 21. In A W Green Shield in 1968-69, he scored 645 runs and effected 23 dismissals behind the stumps—both records for the club. The Martin Bedkober Memorial Trophy for the Most Promising Player was first presented by the Petersham Marrickville club in 1976.

Sean Porter The naming of Sean Porter as this year’s Player of the Season is a clear example of what can be achieved through a combination of hard work and enthusiasm. Sean is one of the club’s keenest cricketers and one who gets an enormous amount of pleasure from playing the game. There can be no more worthy or deserving winner of this coveted award this season. Sean joined the club three years ago and played the whole of the 2003-04 season in the club’s 6th Grade in the Metropolitan Cup. He scored 238 runs with a top score of 73 and took 5 wickets. The following summer he continued in the same grade although his bowling showed more promise than his batting and he became the spearhead of the 6th Grade attack. His 19 wickets that season won him a game in 5th Grade and a club “Encouragement Award”. This season, his consistent performances in 6’s won him another crack at 5th Grade, this time as a middle order batsman who had already scored 268 runs in 6th Grade. After only a handful of games in 5’s he rattled up a fantastic 117 not out to ensure a great win for his team. He continued on as a most consistent performer before finding himself in a 5th Grade premiership winning team. His 28 in that match came at an important period of consolidation as the side built a winning score. It’s a matter of Sydney Grade Cricket history that many players go their whole career without playing a semi final let alone a final. For Sean, he was a Premier in his first grade cricket season. It’s what dreams are made of, especially if you get as much fun out of the game as this year’s Player of the Season, Sean Porter.

CLUBMAN OF THE YEAR The Tim Towers / Stuart Gardner Memorial Award

Sponsored by Collex Pty Ltd Tim Towers was a left hand fast bowler with Randwick. He died in 1991 from cancer aged just 36. Tim played for 11 seasons taking 233 wickets and played in Randwick’s 1977-78 and1979-80 1st Grade premiership teams. The Tim Towers Clubman of the Year Award was first presented by the Randwick club in 1991. Stuart Gardner was a left hand spin bowler with Petersham Marrickville. He died in 1994 from cancer aged 51. Stuart played for over 30 seasons taking more than 400 wickets and scoring 2000 runs. He played in the 1st Grade premiership team of 1974-75 and was made a life member of the club in 1991. The Stuart Gardner Clubman of the Year Award was first presented by the Petersham Marrickville club in 1994.

Sean Porter – Player of the Season

Player category: David Townsend The value of a well-performed 1st Grade player cannot be underestimated. They are what all clubs seek to develop or acquire. But the icing on the cake comes after their 1st Grade career comes to an end and they stay on to assist the club in its future years. David Townsend is one who did just that and continues to do so. David joined Petersham Marrickville in 1992-93 following a season with Sydney University after he had made the move from England. Apparently the offer to join the “Petes” came from good friend Chris “Fous” Sullivan who mysteriously produced a registration form at 3am after the two had enjoyed a heavy night on the town. David went on to captain the Petersham Marrickville 1st XI playing more than 100 games in the top grade. He was contemplating retirement at the end of the 1999-2000 season, but decided to play in the club’s 4th Grade side to assist the youngsters before bowing out. The merger with Randwick shortly after somehow rekindled his enthusiasm and he decided to stay on in 4’s where he has played for the past five seasons. Now 4th Grade captain, this season David had the wonderful experience of leading his side to a premiership victory. It was his second premiership for the club as he was a member of the Greg Hartshorne-led 4th Grade side which won our first premiership in 2002-03. But this year was special. David led from the front with the bat scoring most runs with 508, which was also fifth highest in the 4th Grade competition. He also notched up his third century for Randwick Petersham and shared in a partnership of 205 with young Sean Gardner against Blacktown. His season’s total took his overall club aggregate to an impressive 2,184 runs. David’s contribution to the club however, goes well beyond his on-field activities. He is a founding member of Randwick Petersham being a member of the original management committee following the merger in 2001. He chaired the challenging Sponsorship Committee in the club’s first year before taking on the Junior Development portfolio the following year. This season he found himself in the demanding role of chairman of both committees, emphasising the regard in which he is held by club members and management. It is no surprise that both areas have advanced under his astute stewardship. The David Townsend story is one of dedication, commitment and loyalty. There is little more a club can ask of any person. He is the ultimate clubman and one who has earned the right to be “Clubman of the Year”.

Non-player category: Robin Gardner The sporting world has many wonderful volunteers who give of their time and energy for the simple advancement and benefit of the organisation they represent. Many of them have never actually played the sport they serve yet get as much satisfaction from the success of the players and the club as if they were participating themselves. They are the people who make sport possible. Without them, there is no doubt there would be no sport. Robin Gardner is such a person, a true volunteer in every sense of the word. Introduced to the old Petersham Marrickville club by Stuart Gardner, her then fiancé back in 1966, she was only too happy to help Pat and Helen serve afternoon teas in the canteen at Petersham Oval. The remarkable thing is she is still doing it 40 years later! While the team of Pat, Helen and Robin has taken on icon status in Sydney Grade Cricket circles, this season Robin answered the club’s call and took over the canteen at Coogee Oval where, along with Sue Otto, she did a remarkable job. Once again an example of Robin being prepared to help the club where help was most needed. The dedication and commitment of Robin was acknowledged by Petersham Marrickville in 2000 when she was made a Life Member of the club. It was that same year that she was also awarded the Australian Sports Medal for her outstanding contribution to the club and to sport. In both instances there would not be a person more deserving of such awards. In similar light, there is no more deserving person entitled of being this year’s Clubman of the Year in the non-playing category than Robin Gardner. It is also fitting that Robin should be a recipient of this award as it is named after her late husband, Stuart Gardner, who was a wonderful contributor himself to the Petersham Marrickville club. But his greatest contribution may well have been when he first brought Robin along to Petersham Oval. He could not have envisaged it at the time but what he did was to give this club, and Grade Cricket in general, one of its most prized possessions--Robin Gardner—volunteer extraordinaire.

MOST PROMISING PLAYER IN THE CLUB The Keith Austin Memorial Award

Sponsored by Alan Austin Keith Austin was a long time supporter of the Randwick club who died in 1948. This award was first presented by his sons, Alan and Stan in 1949.

Peter Alevizos Peter was the winner of last season’s Col Hollingsworth Memorial Award for the best A W Green Shield performance. Many tipped him to go on to bigger and better things this season and he didn’t disappoint. A right hand pace bowler of considerable promise, Peter began the season in 4th Grade but after a couple of matches he was whipped up to 3rds. A call from 2nd Grade followed soon after and he quickly established himself in the side where he stayed for the remainder of the season. His debut in 2’s was full of merit as he demolished the Hawkesbury batting line-up taking a season’s best 5 for 31, the only 5 wicket haul in that grade all season. Peter finished the season taking 21, 2nd Grade wickets at the impressive average of 14.97 runs per wicket. He was also the spearhead of the attack in the Poidevin Gray team where he took 8 wickets. Peter also showed that he is a bit of a fighter with the bat when he stayed with Eddie Otto to put on 39 for the 9th wicket against Sutherland’s 2nd Grade side to take the points in a match where his team chased down 298 with only 2 wickets and a few minutes remaining. His 18 not out was worth many more and gave a glimpse of his ability to “hang in” when required to do so. A highlight of the season for Peter came with his selection in the NSW under 17 years team, which participated in the Commonwealth Bank National Under 17 Championships in Sydney in January. Peter did well taking 13 wickets in the competition including a best performance of 5 for 13 against Victoria.

MOST IMPROVED LOWER GRADE PLAYER The Burke and Davies Families Award

Sponsored by Chris Burke and Ross Davies Kevin Burke was a senior vice president of Randwick who first presented this award in 1976. Kevin died in 1998. Chris Burke is a former long-term lower grade player with Randwick Haydn Davies, father of Life Member Ross, was a vice president and great supporter of Randwick who died in 1984. His memorial award was first presented in 1992. Ross’ brother Peter, was the captain of Randwick’s first 5th Grade team in 1978 which made the semi-finals. He died in May 2002.

Matthew Wallis To say that Matthew Wallis improved with each game this season is a gross understatement. As a fast bowler, his game developed to such an extent that his performance in the 4th Grade Final was one of the chief reasons we were able to take home the trophy. Matthew joined the club this season from the St George park competition. While it’s a big step up to go from bowling on Astroturf every week to flat grade wickets against better batsmen, Matt was able to rise to the occasion through a combination of hard work and the ability to learn quickly. He worked out that to be able to take wickets regularly he had to be able to hit a consistent line and length. There was going to be less margin of error for him and fewer cheap wickets. He did this to great effect, taking 40 wickets for the season to finish atop the pile of wicket-takers in the club. His 30 wickets in 4th Grade was topped off with a 5 for 40 performance in the Final to give him the enviable record of a premiership in his first Sydney Grade Cricket season. With the bat he was also effective, producing 223 runs at an average of 31 with a highest score of 63 when his team was struggling at 8 for 94 against Sutherland. Many of these came in the form of boundaries with his hitting being very clean, helped in no part by a bat that resembled a railway sleeper! Matt had an outstanding all round first season, where his attendance at training and positive attitude made him a deserving winner of this most prestigious award.

MOST PROMISING 6TH GRADE PLAYER The Alan Wright Award

Sponsored by Alan Wright Alan Wright has played Grade Cricket for the past 40 years with Randwick / Randwick Petersham. He is a Life Member of the club, a

member of the Management Committee and the Chairman of Selectors.

Graham Hinds As an AW Green Shield player last year, Graham won an Encouragement Award. He was described in the Annual Report as “clearly a player of the future”, a comment which turned out to be right on the money after the season he had this summer. In his first full season, Graham quickly became the mainstay of the 6th Grade Metropolitan Shield team, scoring 343 runs at the healthy average of 49.00 while taking 12 wickets at just 15.75 with his medium pacers. It was a proud moment for him when he scored a dazzling 120 against UTS Balmain, which was the only three figure score for the club in that competition all season. He also managed one of the best returns with the ball when he demolished South Sydney taking 5 for 14. His efforts won him selection in the 5th Grade team where he played with distinction, scoring a total of 112 runs while taking 3 wickets. He impressed with his bowling and on one particular occasion was given the new ball. His top score of 36 not out against Wests was a particularly fine effort to lead the team to victory which impressed many good judges. He was unfortunately injured towards the end of the season and this hampered his opportunity to participate in the 5th Grade finals series. However, you can’t keep a good man down and he recovered in time to play a leading role in the club’s 6th Grade Gold team participating in the Metropolitan Shield Final. A great team player, he shows terrific athleticism in the field and is always in the game. As last years report said, Graham is “clearly a player of the future” and it’s a future the club looks forward to with great expectation. He is a very worthy winner of the second Alan Wright Award.

BEST POIDEVIN GRAY PLAYER The Clive Johnston Memorial Award

Sponsored by John Pearson Clive Johnston was an outstanding player with the Petersham and Petersham Marrickville clubs, captaining 1st Grade for 17 of his 21 seasons. He was in three premiership winning teams and scored over 10,500 grade cricket runs. He also played for NSW on 11 occasions including a number as captain. Clive died in 1991 and this award was presented for the first time by Petersham Marrickville that same year.

Jamie Boettiger A new player to the club this season, Jamie proved to be one of the finds of the season. As well as performing well in both 1st and 2nd grades, he was the dominant force in this season’s Poidevin Gray team . While the team didn’t hit the high spots, Jamie topped both the batting and bowling aggregates scoring 176 runs at 35.20 while taking 12 wickets at the impressive average of 9.75. If he had a disappointment it was in the match against Fairfield Liverpool where he fell just 5 runs short of what would have been an outstanding century after opening the batting. He was also the team’s new ball bowler with his quick left-armers, which proved too much for the top order in the Sydney University match where he took 5 for 21 in a fiery spell. He is tipped to go onto bigger and better things next season.

BEST A W GREEN SHIELD PLAYER The Cartwright Insurances Award

Sponsored by Len Cartwright Cartwright Insurances has presented this award since 1975 courtesy of Len Cartwright, who was a 1st Grade wicketkeeper / batsman with Randwick and is now a vice president of Randwick Petersham.

Sean Gardner Sean won this award last year when he set a club batting aggregate record for A W Green Shield. While he didn’t score as many runs this year, he was again the team’s top batsman as well as its captain. His captaincy was first class and it was no surprise the side made the semi finals under his direction. Sean’s batting was most consistent with scores of 32 not out, 46 and 60 in his season total of 206. He also made his grade debut this season finishing with 480 runs and was an important member of the 4th Grade premiership winning team. His 125 against Blacktown produced a special moment for this very promising cricketer. Award sponsor Len Cartwright will enjoy following the career of Sean Gardner

BEST A W GREEN SHIELD PERFORMANCE The Col Hollingsworth Memorial Award

Sponsored by John Benaud Col Hollingsworth was a gifted young cricketer who died tragically at the age of 23 in 1966. He played for four years in the Petersham Marrickville A W Green Shield team before going on to captain NSW Colts. He was a first grader at age 16. The Col Hollingsworth Memorial Award was first presented by the Petersham Marrickville club in 1967.

Robert Close Robert had an outstanding season in A W Green Shield. A pace bowler of real promise he took 14 wickets at just 12.21 runs each in the competition and it was no surprise that he won selection in the Combined Green Shield team. He bowled a consistent line and length and always had opposing batsmen under pressure conceding just 2.25 runs for each of the 76 overs he sent down. His best performance was 3 for 13 to help bundle out the Sydney University side for just 117 and set up a solid win for his team. He took that form into 4th Grade where he made his grade cricket debut taking 1 for 22 from 13 economical overs. Many good judges have him pencilled in as one of the club’s better players in the seasons ahead.

THE KEN DEVLIN AWARDS Ken Devlin is a vice president of Randwick Petersham, husband of Madge and father of Steve and Peter, all of whom have been involved with the club as they were with Randwick for almost 30 years. Ken first presented these awards at Randwick in 1983. Note : To ensure all players have an equal opportunity to compete for these awards, the calculation of most runs and wickets excludes the Grade final series of matches and Sunday games in the 1st Grade Limited Overs Competition.

MOST RUNS: Matthew Taylor He did it last season and he’s done it again! Matt Taylor is again the leading run scorer in the club with 652 runs spread over three grades. In 2nd Grade, where he played most of the season, he hit 433 with a top score of 94 to take the honours in that grade. He also played a “one-off” in 5th Grade when he was available for only one week (courtesy of a wedding) and hit a blazing 138! In 1st Grade, he missed out earlier in the season but returned towards the end to finish with 81 runs including an amazing 52 against Blacktown when he every one of the bowlers seven balls (six legitimate and one no ball) to the boundary!

MOST WICKETS: Matthew Wallis As the leading wicket taker in the club, albeit in his first Sydney Grade Cricket season, Matt Wallis has taken out this award with 34 wickets. His 5 for 20 demolished the UTS Balmain side for a paltry 57 while his returns of 3 for 28 against Campbelltown Camden and 4 for 23 against Blacktown ensured excellent wins for his team. He bowls with good pace and seam and gives the impression there is an extra metre of speed with some modifications to his action and approach to the wicket. He is destined for higher grades and his career will be followed with much interest. Not included in the number of wickets which won him this award, is the magnificent 5 for 40 he took to help his 4th Grade team take out this season’s premiership.

THE WICKETKEEPING AWARD The David Sherwood Memorial Award

Sponsored by John Watson of Watson Buchan, Surveyors David Sherwood was scorer of the Randwick 1st Grade team for 52 years. He made six overseas tours as scorer for the Australian team before his death in 1985. The SCA 5th Grade trophy bears his name.

Fabian Heaton With 542 runs at a touch over 31 and 32 dismissals behind the stumps, it would be fair to say that Fabian had a pretty good year. Yet what the statistics fail to reveal is that many of the dismissals were outstanding catches while only 4 byes were conceded in the last four games of the season including three Finals matches. Fabian ‘kept in 3rd Grade effecting 17 dismissals and allowed 20 byes, while in 4’s he finished with 15 victims and just 23 byes. Rod Marsh stats those! What Fabian lacks in athleticism he makes up for in heart. He often played with badly injured fingers and hands, yet never complained. He was also a source of continual encouragement behind the stumps and it would be hard to find a greater team man. His consistency with the gloves and ability to take a high percentage of chances make him a worthy winner of this award this year.

THE FIELDING AWARD The Johnny Martin Memorial Award

Sponsored by Talisman Marketing through former player Mark Sundin Johnny Martin was a left hand ”chinaman” bowler who played 77 times for NSW and 8 times for Australia. He played with Petersham Marrickville for 15 seasons travelling 780kms each weekend from Burrell Creek. He took 450 grade wickets, scored 3500runs and was a superb fieldsman.. He captained the 1st Grade side and won three premierships. The Johnny Martin Memorial Award was first awarded by Petersham Marrickville in 1993 following his death a year earlier.

Tony Martin Tony showed that age isn’t a factor in the ability to field well. It’s all about commitment and consistency. Tony filled a number of roles this year snaffling many important catches in the slips as well as showing good lateral movement and a strong arm in the covers. His stats show that he held 5 catches in 3rd Grade while effecting one run out while In 4th Grade he created 3 run outs and snared 5 catches. His run out from side on versus Bankstown in 4th Grade was undoubtedly a highlight. In addition, his ability to encourage and cajole in the field was always a boost on a long, hot day Tony also offered constructive advice to opposition batsmen free of charge, which was most kind of him! When you add his batting expertise and his knowledge of the game, you have the complete package.

THE ENCOURAGEMENT AWARDS

THE PETER ROLLS AWARD Peter Rolls is a Life Member of the club and a former 1st Grade player with Petersham Marrickville.

Matthew Hilder A player who has been around for a few seasons, Matt had an excellent summer with both bat and ball. He was particularly dominant around finals time where he scored 105 in the 5th Grade Semi-Final and 54 in the Final while also chipping in with important wickets. Against Sutherland he took a career best 7 for 45 including a hat-trick and scored 50 runs. He topped both batting and bowling averages in 5th Grade to be an important member of the premiership winning team. A terrific club player who is deserving of his success. THE PHIL TRESIDDER FAMILY AWARD Phil Tresidder was a Life Member and Patron of the club who died in 2003. Phil was involved with the Randwick club for 60 years and served as President for 10 years. This award is sponsored by his niece Christine Hall and her husband Christopher.

Ted Neaves Ted’s progression this year was outstanding and he came close to most improved lower grade player of the year. Fourth in the list of all club batsmen with 572 runs is testimony to his stroke making ability at the top of the order. He also was able to modify his game when required and batted for long periods in both the 4th Grade qualifying and semi finals. He looks to have a sound future in the game. THE RAY STAFFORD AWARD Ray Stafford is the Chief Executive Officer of the Randwick Petersham Cricket Club.

John Tierney John was a successful member of the premiership winning 5th Grade team this season where he took 27 of his season’s total of 28 wickets. An off-spinner, he bowled with great control as evidenced by his club bowling average of just 17.57 and his miserly runs per over rate of 2.25. His best bowling was only 3 for 27 (off 19 overs) but it was his consistent wicket taking ability, which made him such an important member of the 5th Grade side. When his 248 runs are factored into the equation, together with his 5 catches and 4 run outs, he is the complete package and one who is expected to continue to develop in the seasons ahead. THE DUNCAN SCOTT-GLASSOCK AWARD Duncan Scott-Glassock is a former 1st Grade seam bowler with Randwick from the 1970’s. Paul Greentree Paul has been one of the club’s most promising players for some time and this season that promise was realised when he won a place in 1st Grade. He made his debut against Hawkesbury in grand style as well, scoring 82 not out batting at no.6. But for running out of partners he could well have opened his 1st Grade career with a century. His season tally of 426 runs included 253 in the top grade and there are many more to come in the seasons ahead for this elegant strokemaker. THE WAYNE MULHERIN AWARD Wayne Mulherin is a Life Member and Committee Member of the club and former President of Petersham Marrickville who played Sheffield Shield cricket for NSW.

Adam Lee Adam is a young all rounder who showed a great deal of promise in his initial season in the club’s 6th Grade team in the Metropolitan Shield competition. He is a hard hitting right handed batsman who had a good season with hitting a top score of 88 against Blacktown in his season tally of 273 runs. He also did well with the ball taking 21 wickets with a best return of 3 for 17. He is just one of a number of promising players the club will be looking to in the future.

75

THE JOHN CONNELL AWARD John Connell was the manager of this season’s Premiership winning 4th Grade team.

Alex Tomkins Alex is quite an adaptable young right-hander doing well this season in five different competitions. In AW Green Shield he scored 54 runs and took 11 wickets with a best return of 4 for 47. In 6th Grade he hit a total of 211 runs with a highest score of 60 while taking 14 wickets including a best effort of 4 for 23. In the local SEJCA competition he scored 290 runs at a 41 average and took 14 wickets at just 8.40 runs each. His versatility was on display in the Grade competition however, where he played 2 games in both 3rd Grade and 5th Grade as wicketkeeper! His career will be followed with much interest.

THE GREG HARTSHORNE AWARD Greg Hartshorne is a Life Member and former 1st Grade Captain of Petersham Marrickville who played in Randwick Petersham premiership teams over the past four years.

Khan Haretuku Khan is a promising young left-handed player who represented the club in multiple competitions this season. In AW Green Shield he scored 136 runs with a highest score of 74 not out while taking 13 wickets at just 12.46 runs each. He then played in 6th Grade scoring an undefeated 54 in his season tally of 100 and took 3 wickets. He also played 1 match in 5th Grade and 3 in 4’s before being selected in the Poidevin Gray team where he took a handy 2 wickets for 20.

THE BERNIE DAGG AWARD Bernie Dagg is the Financial Controller of the club and the former Treasurer of Petersham Marrickville.

Will Halstead In his limited appearances because of school commitments, young AW Green Shield boy Will Halstead created quite an impression in his debut and only game in 5th Grade when he cracked a fine 55. He had a similar introduction to 6th Grade where he hit a 46 in one of his only two matches. In the AW Green Shield competition, he scored a solid 51 in his overall tally of 147 while his batting average of 36.75 was the best in the team. He looks a fine prospect.

THE ERNIE TOSHACK MEMORIAL AWARD Sponsored by Lyall Gardner OAM

Ernie Toshack, a member of Don Bradman’s 1948 “Invincibles”, holds a special place in the history of Randwick Petersham Cricket because he is the only cricketer to have played with the three clubs behind Randwick Petersham – Petersham, Marrickville and Randwick. He died in May 2003 and the club committee introduced this award in July 2003.

2004-05 Winners: Patricia Hughes and Helen Milford Because of Ernie Toshack’s unequalled association with Randwick Petersham Cricket, the Management Committee of the club has honoured his memory with the introduction of a special annual award. It was decided that the award will be announced and presented each year at the Annual General Meeting of the club to a person or persons who the Management Committee determines has or have made a significant contribution to the club, either directly or indirectly through the founding clubs over an extended period of time. At the Annual General Meeting on 3 August 2005, Pat Hughes and Helen Milford were announced as the joint winners of the third Ernie Toshack Memorial Award. It was the second time joint winners had taken out this prestigious award with Phil Tresidder and Noel Hughes named in 2002-03.

Pat and Helen have been outstanding servants of this club and of the former Petersham Marrickville club for what seems an eternity. As two of our famous ‘tea ladies”, along with another legend Robin Gardner, Pat and Helen have been providing afternoon teas for hungry and thirsty cricketers at Petersham Oval since the mid-1940’s. In fact, Pat poured her first “cuppa” there in 1946 before being joined by Helen in 1952. Not only are Pat and Helen icons of the club, they are two of the best known volunteers in Sydney Grade cricket. There has hardly been a Sydney cricketer visiting Petersham Oval in the past 60 years who has not been served a cup of tea or offered a hot scone or cream cake by Pat or Helen. And even today, their afternoon teas remain the toast of the grade cricket scene. Life Members of the club and recipients of the Australian Sports Medal, Pat Hughes and Helen Milford are two “grade cricketers” who have contributed a lifetime of energy to the game they love even though neither of them has ever wielded a willow or sent down a fast yorker! Their contribution however, is measured in dedication, loyalty and plain ol’ hard work…the kind of ingredients you just can’t buy! No doubt Ernie Toshack enjoyed his afternoon teas at Petersham Oval and we’re sure he would feel honoured that Pat and Helen are receiving this award named in his memory. This year’s winner of the “Ernie Toshack Memorial Award” will be announced at the club’s AGM on 19 July 2006.

The Pride of the Baggy Green

To recognise the achievement of players selected in the Randwick Petersham First XI, the club introduced a capping system in 2001-02, its first season. A player who plays in the First Grade team is presented with a Randwick Petersham “Baggy Green” cap bearing the club’s logo and becomes listed as a club “capped” player. The player is also allocated a sequential number that is displayed on his playing shirt. Numbers are allocated in order of selection although when two or more players are selected at the same time, the allocation is in surname alphabetical order. Players retain the number they are allocated for all time. The last number allocated will also reflect the total number of players to play in the club’s First Grade team. A total of 48 players have now played in the First XI since the club’s creation five years ago. This season, 6 players made their debut as first graders with Randwick Petersham. Each was presented with his cap by an official or representative of the club, before the start of play in their first match in the top grade. The capped players this season were: No. 43 Jamie Boettiger Jamie made his debut with the club on 24 September 2005 at Petersham Oval

and scored 6 runs and took two wickets for 36. No. 44 Michael Watson Michael made his debut with the club on 24 September 2005 at Petersham

Oval against North Sydney and scored 6 runs. No. 45 Jade Dernbach Jade made his debut with the club on 1 October 2005 in the match against

University of NSW at Petersham. Jade scored 0 and 0, and took one wicket for 99 runs.

No. 46 Paul Greentree Paul made his debut with the club on 3 December 2005 in the match against

Hawkesbury at Owen Earle Oval. Paul scored 82 not out in his first game. No. 47 Chris Whelan Chris played his first match in a one-day game against Bankstown at

Bankstown Oval on 7 January 2006. Paul scored 6 and took 0 for 33. No. 48 Arun Harinath Arun made his 1st Grade debut against Gordon on 15 January 2006 at Killara

Oval and scored 19 runs.

As a sponsor of Randwick Petersham Cricket Club,

Denis Hinds

The term ‘stalwart” is reserved for those who,

according to better dictionaries, “steadfastly support an

organisation or cause”. No one could therefore be

better described as a “stalwart” than Denis Hinds, who

has twirled down his mystery left-hand spinners for

Randwick / Randwick Petersham for more than 20

years.

As one of Sydney’s true evergreen grade cricketers,

summer Saturday’s just wouldn’t be the same without

Denis rolling his arm over with the flight and accuracy

which has been his trademark since he joined the old

Sydney club back in 1972. Thirty four years on, and the

roller coaster continued this summer as he bamboozled

opposing batsmen in the club’s development 6th Grade

team in the Metropolitan Shield competition. The

enthusiastic youngsters in the side could not have a

better role model.

Denis linked up with the old Randwick club in the season of 1985-86 after the Sydney club was

dropped from the Sydney Grade competition. Denis had served 14 seasons with Sydney and was one

of its most regular and consistent performers capturing almost 300 wickets in grades 1 to 4. He made

his 1st Grade debut in 1976-77 in a team which included one of the legends of the game in Rick

McCosker, before finishing his term with Sydney as 2nd Grade captain.

While most of Denis’ cricket mates recognise him as being “a bit of a rabbit” with the bat, this was not

the case in his younger days when he was described in the 1974-75 Sydney CC Annual Report as an

“all-rounder of some standing”. Taking out the 4th Grade batting average that season as well as the

bowling honours (and a hat-trick against Penrith), could well have influenced that comment.

However, his undefeated 36 in a club record partnership of 85 for the 10th wicket in 2nds five years

later, gave some credence to the argument.

Denis was an instant hit when he teamed up with Randwick. Starting in 4th Grade, he bagged two 5

wicket hauls in his first two matches, followed by 3 for 19 in his only 3rd Grade game before

becoming a regular in 2’s. To top off a great 1985-86 season, he went on to play 1st Grade where he

took 4 for 49.

In the past 21 years, Denis Hinds has achieved an imposing Randwick / Randwick Petersham record.

Not only has he won his team’s bowling aggregate on 13 occasions and the bowling average 6 times,

but he has taken a massive 601 grade wickets in the process. He was the leading 4th Grade bowler in

each of Randwick Petersham’s first three seasons while his 37 wickets in 2002-03 was the top

performance in the whole of the 4th Grade competition. His effort that season enabled the club to

record its first premiership win. And at the celebrations after the final, there was not a more excited

premiership winner than the little spinner known affectionately as “Groucho”!

Thirty five seasons of Sydney Grade Cricket is an amazing performance in anyone’s language. Taking

more than 900 wickets (when his Sydney CC days are included) is equally as impressive.

A true gentleman of the game who has always played with fairness and honour, Denis is entitled to

feel proud of his achievements.

The Management Committee has put Denis’ name forward this year for election as the 43rd Randwick

Petersham Life Member. For one of the club’s great stalwarts, this is an honour he richly deserves.

Paul Toole -

Our Mate ‘ Bags ‘ –

or ‘ The Bagman ‘ as we know him.

Tooly’s retirin’ from Sydney Grade . We’re losin’ a Champion bloke and cricketer

around the Club – at least for a while - so I’m gonna say a few words.

Now – Bags acquired those nicker’s back in the early 90’s when he came to Snape

t’ have a hit – arrivin’ on the now Randy’s scene fresh out of Bathurst where he had

attracted the reputation of quite a run’ gettin’ machine.

My actual first memory of Tooly was when I was doin’ an interview with him and

obtaining some info for the then Randwick Clubs fortnightly magazine which

was called ‘ We are the Champions ‘ ( that’ll take a few blokes back a bit ). My first

question to him went something along the lines of ‘What are yer ambitions in

Sydney Grade Mate ‘ – to which his response was somethin’ akin to ‘ Work hard

on me cricket - score a few bloody runs and do me best for the boys ‘. In the

ensuing 4 weeks The Bagman went on t’ score four tons on the trot. That’s right –

four tons in a row – one in the trials which he followed up with couple in the Thirds

and another in the Seconds . It doesn’t get any better than that I reckon - and it

sure doesn’t get any better than that when yer settin’ out on Grade career in the

big smoke. Over the ensuing dozen or so seasons Tooly never disappointed, always

did more than his bit with the bat and always did his leadin’ from the front. His

attitude was inspirational and in win or loss there was never any easin’ off in the

competitive spirit bit.

I’ve had the greatest of pleasures seein’ Bags knockin’ the six stitcher around from

those early beginnin’s. Big scores in P.G’s and climbin’ through the grades into

Firsts and ultimately skipperin’ The Randy Petes’ on amalgamation. What an

honour for him that one – and also what an honour wearing’ the Number One on

his chest and leadin’ the boys out onto Petersham Oval for that first historic

encounter. For sure ‘n certain there’s never ever gonna be anything in this Club to

equal that – and no risk the Boy from Bathurst is already firmly etched in

Randy Pete history as one of it’s favourite and historic sons.

Ticker by the bucket load ensured that Bags was always a dour competitor and a

well respected opponent whatever the occasion. Skipperin’ a lusty bunch of

contenders is never an easy task and from the close ‘n personal aspect within the

hallowed portals of the dressin’ room it was obvious the respect that Bags attracted

from the boys that he led so well over many seasons.

Blokes like Tooly are the inherent spirit of this Club and the Paul Toole story I

reckon has a way t’ go. He might’ve garaged his bat for a bit but he’s a Randy Pete

of the highest order - firmly etched into our history - and his playin’ days are just

a start for what lies ahead.

Good onyer Tooly –

As Jack Gibson would say – ‘ Yer Done Good Mate ! ‘

And as I will say – ‘ Well bloody played – none better Champ!’

Bobby Barter May 31st 2006.

Richard Chee Quee

A couple of months ago out at Joe MacAleer

Oval it was certainly the end of an era for

the Randy Pete’s – that’s f’ sure ‘n certain. Richard Chee Quee hangin’ up his boots ‘n

depositin’ his bat in the Randy Petes Museum.

Now - I didn’t know Cheeqs when he was young bloke of 14 and gettin’ his grade cricket

journey into full stride - but I’m sure glad I got to know him in the ensuing years - and

I’m also sure happy I’ve seen the majority of his digs in that time. Cricket doesn’t get any

better than seein’ R. Chee Quee knockin’ the six stitcher around the paddock.

For mine - and I guess probably most of us blokes who’ve been around Cheeqs during his

fantastic career span - the things we’re all gonna miss at game time is a lot more than his

ability to get out in the middle and knock a few over the fence.

There’s already plenty been said about run numbers and Cheeqs 20 years longevity in

Sydney Grade and that sort of stuff is now etched into cricket archives and will

eventually become legendary in Randy Petes Club folk lore. But - when them stats are

looked at down the track and analysed by the experts they’re not gonna show the stuff he’s

made of – or the sort of bloke he is - or the pleasure we’ve had of knowin’, playin’ and bein’

alongside him in the trench’s.

Cheeqs has always had that rare ability to captivate a cricket audience - and that starts

from the time he picks up the bat and commences on what I call his ‘ majestic stroll ‘ out to

the centre. From that point it’s ‘ game on ‘ and as I’ve said a million times - ‘ keep yer

eyes glued to the action so you don’t miss nothin’.

Me old Father – in - Law used t’ talk about cricket battin’ blokes and - ‘who was the

greatest bat ever to tread shoe leather out to the centre of the wicket ‘. Now - I don’t know

where Cheeqs fits into that category but I will say that his prowess as a class entertainer

with God given abilities galore were unquestioned. When he was ‘on’ Mate he was redhot -

and when he started to ping a few we knew we were well on the way to gettin’ that 6 points

and singin’ the good old team song.

That’s a bit of the Chee Quee magic.

His fiercely competitive nature and dogged winnin’ spirit he no doubt got from his Dad ‘n

Mum - and it goes without sayin’ when things got tough Cheeqs was always our ‘ go to

man ‘. You don’t score big tons in finals, score a hundred in a session, compete around the

top for 20 years, represent The Blues with distinction, knock up a couple of tons against

International sides - and stuff like that - unless you can bat much more than a bit, take it

- and dish it out. And Cheeqs kept doin’ that for a long long time. Doin’ it out in the centre

is what top sport’s all about and whatever it is you gotta have this bloke had stacks of it in

his kaboodle.

I’ve often told the story about when Shoaib Akhtar opened the bowlin’ for Mosman in a one

dayer and Cheeq’s took strike. At the death – with 13 to win - Cheeqs finally ran himself

out for 87 chasin’ a ton and Shoaib was sittin’ back on the fence signin’ autographs after

takin’ a bit of hammerin’. That was simply a prime example of one dig out of hundreds

when he could face up to the best and do the sort of stuff which has endeared him to our

cricket world. A no holds barred full on competitor . The faster they sent ‘em down and the

better they was – the more he liked it and the farther he could hit ‘em.

80

The respect Cheeqs attracts from everyone around him is exemplary, genuine and deserved.

You don’t get respect easy and you don’t necessarily get it from scorin’ runs. That might

be part of the deal. But - the admiration he attracts from all walks of life inside and out of

sport, young blokes comin’ through the grades ( and a few old blokes hangin’ around the

game ) is clear testimony - from not only what he has established by bein’ a successful

sportsman – but also highlights his personality and life temperament. His friends are

many and varied and that in itself is indication of his reputation and the esteem in which

he is held.

When Uzzy was picked in the Under 19’s I recall Cheeqs havin’ a bit of a chat and sayin’ ‘

Uzzy – congrat’s on representin’ NSW – but also remember Champ - you’re representin’

this Club and you’re also representin’ the game of cricket’ . How good was that and that’s

the sort of things that score books are never gonna show.

A true indicator of what Cheeq’s givin’ it away means to our cricket world is that while we

knew this time was comin’ from a bit back – we didn’t really want to have to face the day.

It’s hard to imagine a Randy Pete side steppin’ out onto the paddock without Richard Chee

Quee.

Or indeed - when we’re a couple down - know that Cheeqs is not sittin’ there padded up to get

us out of trouble. It was always like havin’ money in the Bank when his name was on the

playin’ sheet. And I mean a lot of money in the Bank Mate.

The last thing that I want to say To The Big Swinger is that while no doubt time will

diminish his fire a bit, it won’t ever lessen his passion for the game or his memories of the

magic moments and what has transpired in his outstanding career. For bloody sure he’s

gotta be real proud of that. I know that every last one of us Randy Petes and all those close

to him are f’ sure.

But – emphatically – and I accentuate emphatically – he can depart the playin’ arena

steeped in the knowledge that his expertise is widely recognized - and his playin’ career has

been a truly great and honourable one. No retirin’ cricket bloke can ask for much more than

that.

And - any time his mind flicks back to his playin’

days - no risk I reckon a smile will cross his dial

and he’s gonna say :

‘ How bloody great it was Mate ‘

Good onyer Cheeqs.

Bobby Barter - March 2006

On 29 March 2006 the Management Committee approved plans submitted by Darren McCoy to establish the Randwick Petersham Cricket Academy and appointed him as Chairman of the program. Club legend Lyall Gardner spoke to Darren to find out what it is all about. _________________________________________________________________________________________ Lyall: What is the Randwick Petersham Cricket Academy (RPCA) and how did it come about? Darren: The Academy concept for our club has been on the drawing board for a while now. I know our CEO Ray Stafford has had it on top of his priority list for a few seasons and I know our Management Committee is very supportive of it. Club President Michael Whitney is also committed to the program. In our first year, an extremely exciting one, the RPCA will focus on identifying the best local talent in our heartland areas of Randwick and Petersham. We will then work these talented youngsters through a specific skills program and over time turn them into 1st Grade performers and beyond. Ultimately, we will produce a future first class or Test Match player or two. Lyall: Who are you targeting? Darren: Talented young cricketers from our heartland areas, the suburbs and schools surrounding Randwick and Petersham. There is not a specific age limit but there won’t be many outside the 14-18 years age bracket. We will review our group each year and new players will be inducted. Some players may well carry over into a second or third year, depending on their progress. In addition, we have also identified the Western region around Orange as one we want to work with. We have recently gained some good young players from that region and we would like to put something back and continue to develop the area. We now have strong connections with the locals and we are keen to ensure that if and when these country lads come to the City, they want to play with the best club and that is of course, the Randy Pete’s. Lyall: What are the objectives? Darren: To fast track the development of young players and make our club an attractive place for talented young cricketers, a place where they and their parents, know they will get the best facilities and coaching. We have to have big goals if we want to discover a new Simon Katich or a new Michael Whitney. A local boy that goes on to play for NSW and Australia would be a huge achievement for our club. To do this we need a number of things, including appropriate funding and importantly, quality coaches. The costs of establishing and maintaining the Academy are not insignificant. We will need to call on corporate support. We already have some fantastic sponsors such as Babcock and Brown, Randwick Rugby and of course Petersham RSL. We will be looking for their continued support and more for our Academy program.

Darren McCoy – Chairman

Randwick Petersham Cricket Academy

82

Lyall: How will you achieve your goals? Darren: Firstly, by making sure we know our junior base and giving them opportunities to display their skills. Secondly, we need to have a well developed coaching plan and high-quality resources (both coaches and facilities) plus a relentless focus. Focus is always the key. Already we have had a number of distractions but we just need to go back to our plan, remind ourselves of what is important and get on with it. This is a tremendous opportunity for our young players. Our schedule covers all areas of the game: batting, bowling and fielding through to mental skills, preparation and goal setting. In the first few weeks we intend to have an education session around nutrition and physical preparation for cricket. This will be delivered by a coach who has a degree in both Human Movement and a Masters from Oxford Uni in the Science and Medicine of Athletic Performance. This gentleman has also played 1st Grade cricket and Rugby and is a great example of the access to quality resources we have. Our program is comprehensive and people are excited about getting involved with this concept. Lyall: What is your philosophy on coaching? Darren: Philosophy on anything comes out of your own personal experiences. My thoughts on coaching come out of both my work career where I coach people in Business Development strategies, as well as my cricket experiences as a player and coach. Apart from having a clear plan, I believe there are three fundamentals to ensure success; thorough preparation; “compete every ball” (the ability to compete constantly and effectively); and continuous improvement, being a product of the first two. I can assure you that bowling no-balls at training, batting without a purpose in the nets and avoiding the hard fielding work does not fit with my approach. Cricket is a very traditional game and training methods I think are still very traditional. I see a great opportunity to innovate and devise new training methods and to get an edge. To really engage players and get the best out of them you must ensure they are constantly challenged and are having fun. Lyall: What are the plans for the future? Darren: In October 2006, in our very first year, we have an Academy development tour to Sri Lanka. We have had a great response to this tour. We will be playing five matches, some on Test Match grounds, which will be a tremendous experience for our youngsters. In addition, we will be making donations of cricket and education equipment to Sri Lankan school children. Our Academy members will be collecting and managing items to donate to our Sri Lankan friends who were devastated by the Boxing Day Tsunami. In years 2 and 3 we have a number of other cricket development initiatives all aimed at enhancing the skills of our young players. In addition, I am also currently looking at a program, which will give some of our boys a chance to develop their leadership skills, totally unrelated to cricket. This is really important as a youngster might join our club through the Academy at 14 and finish playing with us when he is 40 or 50 years of age and never get close to making a professional career out of cricket. We will look at running courses on public speaking, interviewing skills, etc. We watch people grow up in our club so there has to be more to this than just cricket. Better people, better cricketers! Importantly, we have a plan which covers the first three years of the RPCA. We will be sharing this plan with current and future sponsors. If we are to be successful with this in the long term, we need to find a sponsor, or sponsors, who share our passion for developing young cricketers. As we turn out a stream of quality young cricketers, our club will continue to build on our successes of the past few years. We don’t want to be just a great Sydney club. We want to be the best club in Australia! Someone has to be.

Obituary

It is with regret we record the passing of the following people associated with the club

since the publication of the club’s 2004-05 Annual Report.

• Gwen Ledwidge – died 19 June 2005 aged 82 years

Gwen was the wife of former Randwick fast bowler and Test Match umpire Reg Ledwidge

and the mother of twins Paul and Donn, both of whom played 1st Grade for Randwick. She

also helped out with afternoon teas at Coogee Oval in the 50’s through the 70’s.

• Stan Banwell – died 9 July 2005 aged 74 years

Stan was a 1st Grade cricketer with the Randwick club for many years and one of its favourite

characters. He was a player with a huge amount of natural talent and was always in the game

as opening batsman, pace bowler, spin bowler and slip fieldsman. Stan was the father of

former Randwick 1st Grade allrounder Rhys and lower grade player, Brett.

• Vivien Snell – died 12 August 2005 aged 95 years

Vivien was the wife of long serving Randwick secretary Fred Snell who died in 1984. Vivien

was a great support to Fred in his cricket duties and was a wonderful helper herself, assisting

with afternoon teas at Coogee Oval for many, many years.

• Mary Beath – died 4 September 2005 aged 81 years

Mary was the wife of former Randwick and NSW all rounder and club President for 15 years,

Bill Beath. Mary was as much a contributor as Bill spending most of her summer weekends at

Coogee Oval serving afternoon teas and undertaking related duties. She was regarded as the

“first lady” of Randwick Cricket and considered by many as a legend in her own lifetime.

• Joyce Flint – died 28 January 2006 aged 83 years

Joyce was the mother of two girls who married Randwick cricketers. Christine is the wife of

John Johnson while Denise married Trevor Jay. Joyce, her husband John and both the Johnson

and Jay families were outstanding contributors to the former Randwick club for many years.

• Ernest Gardner – died 29 April 2006 aged 70 years

Ernie was a former 1st Grade player with Petersham Marrickville. He was a brother of the late

Stuart Gardner and brother-in-law of Life Member Robin Gardner.

Usman Khawaja

A young man going places in cricket

In the club’s 2003-04 Annual Report, the statement was made that Usman Khawaja was entitled to be the

winner of the club’s Most Promising Player in the Club Award because “there is no doubt that Usman is the

most promising player in the club”. The article also claimed that he “may just be the most promising player

in New South Wales as well”.

Two years on and those statements have proved prophetic as Usman is on the verge of taking all before him

after his outstanding batting performances in the Australian team which played in the Under 19 World Cup

in Sri Lanka last February. His selection followed the naming of him as the “Player of the Carnival” at the

December 2005 Australian Under 19 Championships played in Perth. He has since played in the New South

Wales Second XI.

Usman is a neat and solid left-hander who has made his mark at the top of the batting order. In the 1st Grade

Final two seasons ago at Coogee Oval, the then 17 year old withstood everything a bowling attack

comprising a number of first class players including Nathan Bracken fresh from Test Cricket, could throw at

him. He made top score of 67 that day to go with his 63 and 42 in the qualifying and semi finals. We knew

then that this was one very special player destined for higher honours.

This season Usman’s representative program allowed him to play only 11 1st Grade games where he

managed to total 321 with a best score of 102. Since making his debut with the club aged just 15 years, he

has rattled up 1934 runs with three centuries. His steady medium pacers have also netted him 12 wickets.

In January of this year, the highly respected cricket

journalist, Peter Roebuck, wrote a feature article on

Usman for the sports section of the Sydney Morning

Herald. It was an all-embracing piece covering everything

from Usman’s birth in Islamabad, Pakistan, his Muslim

faith, his schooling at Westfield Sports High through to

his career ambition to be a pilot. Not the sort of publicity

the shy young man seeks but his development as a

cricketer has created a level of public interest which is

certain to increase in the years ahead.

Born into a cricket family, his mum Fozia and dad Tariq

are two of his greatest fans. Cricket-mad Tariq is a regular

at Usman’s matches and has provided the club with

important administrative support in the area of player

statistics.

For the 16 year old who received his baggy green

Randwick Petersham cap from Test star Simon Katich on

the occasion of his 1st Grade debut, the sky is the limit.

While Imran Khan was the first Pakistani player to play

first class cricket for New South Wales, many keen judges

are of the view that Usman Khawaja can go the extra step

and one day pull on the baggy green of Australia.

Usman’s performances have been recognised by the NSW

Selectors, with a 2006-07 Rookie Contract.

Coaching Report by Peter Devlin, Club Coach

Season 2005-06 was a test of our strength and character in dealing

with a number of challenges, which included the following:

• loss of 20 graded players from the previous season

• loss of 4 grade captains from the previous season

• no turf practice wickets until mid-October

• no turf practice wickets at Petersham Oval due to reconstruction of the facilities

• an inconsistent match wicket at Petersham Oval

requiring the Grounds Committee to consult with

Marrickville Council in order to achieve an acceptable standard

• indifferent player commitment to training and match

availability in certain instances

Despite the above obstacles the club achieved:

• Premierships in 4th and 5th grades

• Semi Finalists and Finalists in Metropolitan Shield (6th Grade)

• Semi Finalists in A W Green Shield

• an Australian Representative in Simon Katich

• an Under 19 Australian representative in Usman Khawaja

• an Under 17 NSW representative in Peter Alevizos

• a Combined A W Green Shield representative in Robert Close

• 3rd Grade Captain of the Year in James Le Huray

• 2nd Grade Spirit of Cricket team winners award

• 3rd place in the Spirit of Cricket Club Award

• a Dennis Lillie coaching clinic conducted at Petersham Oval

Many thanks to the coaching staff of David Skuthorpe, Andrew Millican, Richard Chee Quee, Paul Toole and

Joe Hill along with captains and players who assisted at training in helping teammates improve their game.

Special thanks to Bill Anderson for the countless hours he spent as the club’s Director of Coaching, including his match management and player management on and off the field. Bill and his good mate, “Sir Robert”

Barter, 1st Grade manager, NSW and Australian SCG room manager are both “legends” and the club cannot thank them enough.

It was a challenging year for the grading and selection committees and to Alan Wright (Chairman), selectors and captains, many thanks for your input and time.

Overall, all players had an opportunity to advance through the grades. To those players who took that

opportunity, congratulations. To those who didn’t grasp the chance, the opportunity remains to assess your

game, not just what you specialise in, but your whole game, and use the off-season and pre-season training to your advantage. The best way to progress is to work hard and let the bat and ball do the talking.

Many thanks to Richard McCord (practice captain) and our superb group of ladies who looked after teams at

Coogee and Petersham ovals. You are special people. Thank you also to the club committee, team managers, volunteers, sponsors, families, friends, Marrickville and Randwick Councils, Cricket NSW Coaching

and Administration staff. Special thanks to Green Options and staff for the excellent condition of Coogee

Oval during the season.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank my wife Jennie and my family for their support and understanding of the time required by a coach of a cricket club.

With the commencement of the Randwick Petersham Cricket Academy and with further improvements to the club’s coaching structure and facilities, the future of the club is looking exciting and strong.

Train hard and enjoy your cricket.

GROUNDS REPORT By Wayne Mulherin, Grounds Manager

Last year the improvement in the club’s performances and playing

fields were very similar. This year the story is the same with headway

made again in both areas. Maybe there is a correlation between the

two! Both have had a year of important development. Wait for the

2006-07 season!

Some of the initiatives undertaken in 2005-06, for the benefit of the

club in future years include:

• laying of quality “Legends” couch on the run-ups at Snape

Oval which will ensure the availability of the turf wickets

for pre season training in 2006-07

• use of “Legends” couch in the resurfacing of Coogee Oval

which will enable the ground to be available for play earlier than has been the case in recent

seasons

• relaying with “Legends” couch and the laser levelling of the practice wickets at Petersham.

This will enable the ground to be available for training next season.

The highlight of the season was undoubtedly the Sydney Cricket Association’s ranking of Coogee Oval

for the last 10 playing days of the season as number 1 in Sydney Grade Cricket. This is great

recognition of the work from Matt and his crew from Green Options.

Unfortunately, during the same period, Petersham Oval, which ranked higher than Coogee in 2004-05,

ranked last amongst Sydney 1st Grade ovals. Plans have already been agreed and action commenced to

ensure this situation is rectified for next season.

The financials for grounds was on budget with a regular number of social games booked. This included

a number of charities hiring our facilities such as the Schizophrenia Fellowship and Aftercare Society,

the Deaf Society, the Heart Foundation and Surf Lifesaving Association. We are privileged to be able

to support such worthy causes.

We also provided strong support to our local junior association and schools with practice and game

facilities. Their use of these facilities is around 130 days per season, which is only just under our use

of the facilities. I am sure the need for this support will increase again next year.

During the season we were fortunate to be able to host games for the Australian Under 17 Carnival and

NSW Country Cricket for their annual clash with the City sides.

While major progress was made this season, the principal focus for 2006-07 will be to ensure

improvement of the facilities at Petersham Oval and maintain the excellent standard at Coogee Oval.

In conclusion I would like to thank Eastern Suburbs, South Sydney Shires and Moore Park Cricket who

hired grounds from us during the year and a special “thank you” to Chris Hunter, Sharon Plunkett,

Maureen and Ken, Peter Stone and Tim McCarthy, all of Randwick Council; Richard Herring, John

Summergreen, Chris Pont, Barry Cotter, Sean Lipsett and Pat Walsh from Marrickville Council; and

Tony Herman, Dane, Matt and the rest of the crew from the very professional Green Options.

Junior Development Report

by David Townsend, Junior Development Manager

As has been proven over the past few years, junior development is an area that is vital to the future of this club.

Accordingly, much of our sponsorship money is directed into this area and the standards we set this year were

extremely high.

We were fortunate to have a strong group of coaches to cover the ground this season, which was led expertly by

Richard CheeQuee.

Richard is not only a former Cricket Academy coach from time spent in Adelaide, but an excellent communicator.

He was able to assist with a variety of programs and led a team that included overseas coaches Arun Harinath

(Surrey CCC), Chris Whelan (Middlesex CCC), Paul Horton (Lancashire CCC) and Assistant Club Coach, David

Skuthorpe.

Highlights of this year’s program included :

- continued support of the Randwick Juniors

Club SCG Coaching Program

- formation of a relationship with Sydney Boys

High School where we provided weekly

coaching for various

school cricket teams

- provision of coaches for Sydney Coastal

Junior Club holiday clinics

- conducting coaching clinics at schools, such

as St Patrick’s Strathfield, St Luke’s Concord,

Scots College and Sydney High

- organisation of a Coaching Inservice Day for

Junior Coaches from the South Eastern JCA

- conducting Specialist Coaching Clinics for

visiting juniors from the Stockton Cricket

Club in Newcastle

- continued involvement in the South Eastern

and Inner West Cricket Councils

It is of continued importance that our club strives to

assist junior development within our geographical

area.

The formation of the inaugural Randwick Petersham

Cricket Academy will be an enormous step forward in

this regard next season as it will allow the transition

between junior cricket and Grade Cricket to become a

much smoother one.

We again thank all sponsors of our Junior

Development Program and issue an invitation to any

club within either the South Eastern JCA or

Canterbury Wests JCA, which wishes to receive

coaching assistance next year, to contact me through

the club.

Publicity Report

This year the club continued to promote itself, with exposure through all forms of media.

PRINT MEDIA

Randwick Petersham currently has agreements with several local newspapers to carry match details.

These newspapers are:

The Glebe

Southern Courier

Inner Western Suburbs Courier

Cooks River Valley Times

It is often very difficult to gain independent coverage, rather these papers will carry results from all

local clubs, and for example The Glebe carries details of four Grade clubs.

Randwick Petersham managed to feature in many published articles throughout the season. Some

highlights were the Sydney Morning Herald article on Usman Khawaja by legendary cricket writer

Peter Roebuck. Roebuck interviewed Usman during a NSW Second XI match and covered his

background and future cricket aspirations. The Daily Telegraph also published a detailed on Richard

Chee Quee’s retirement which was printed in a prominent position within the paper’s sports pages.

TELEVISION

It is always difficult to gain TV exposure for Grade Cricket but this year we managed to get some

coverage for the club courtesy of the SBS Program “Under the Grandstand” which went to air during

the lunch break in each of the Ashes Test Matches from England last winter. Mike Whitney and our

three “famous tea ladies”, Pat, Helen and Robin appeared on the program which seemed to be well

received by viewers.

RADIO

The retirement of Richard Chee Quee was a popular item

with sports commentators and others, with Radio 2GB

and Radio 2UE giving us good coverage. Alan Jones of

2GB and Peter Bosly of 2UE both undertook extensive

interviews on air with Richard.

WEBSITE

This season the Randwick Petersham Cricket Club

webpage (www.randwickpetershamcricket.com.au) has

continued to thrive with weekly updates about game

scores, club news, social events and sponsor news. Our

webmaster Peter Bayley was transferred to Coffs Harbour

in his job but still managed to help out where required.

Match reports were written by John McLoughlin and

Nigil Singh and out thanks are extended to them.

Club News was emailed to a list of 284 people.

Social Report by Chris Sullivan

The securing of premierships by Fourth and Fifth Grade ensured a marvellous finale to a “mixed bag” type of social season. I’m sure we’re all looking forward to the higher grades emulating the feats of the 4 ’s and 5’s.

Special congratulations to James Le Huray on being voted 3rd Grade captain of the Year - a very worthy

recipient.

The season as usual kicked off with weekend practice matches against Stockton in Newcastle. These overnight matches gave the players a chance to unite both on and off the field. We are grateful to Stockton Cricket Club

for their tireless efforts to ensure this weekend is always a success. Many thanks to President Ron Hancock who makes sure that everything runs smoothly. The link between the clubs is growing stronger each year and

I’m sure it will continue to do so.

Thursday nights at Petersham RSL were stifled throughout the season due to work carried out on Petersham

Oval practice wickets. However, with maintenance now completed, I’m sure we’ll be back on track next season with solid numbers attending the RSL after Thursday night training sessions.

The Phil Tresidder Memorial Golf Day just keeps

getting bigger every year. Once again it was held

at Randwick Golf Club. To Ross “Heart of Gold” Davies and Lyall Gardner, many thanks for your

efforts, chaps. Please see the detailed account of the day elsewhere in this report.

Our major dinner was down a little on numbers this season but as always, proved to be great

entertainment. We were fortunate to have former AFL great and media funnyman Sam Kekovich as

our special guest and he certainly lived up to the expectations of even the most ardent RPC critic.

At short notice we were also fortunate to hear from the NRL fast man Darren Albert from the

Sharks who passed on stories from St Helens England and his time in both the ARL and NRL.

Thanks to Richard Chee Quee for inviting Darren along.

As usual this night couldn’t run as slick as it does without MC Graeme Hughes. A big thank you to “Heaps” and thanks for securing the services of Sam. Special thanks to Tony and Katie Martin for all the logistics work on

the night, to big Chris “Moody” Hanson for running the silent auction and to photographer and auctioneer Steve Smith. Finally to all at Petersham RSL, particularly Christine, Danny Fitzgerald and Carl Mower and all the staff,

our grateful thanks. We really appreciate the huge support you continue to give us.

Our “Home in the East”, Randwick Rugby Club, once again proved to be a popular venue with the functions

held there being of great value. We receive great support from everyone at the club and in particular I would wish to thank Nick in the kitchen who always dishes up quality food and also Daniel and Sarah in management.

The 4th and 5th Grades’ premiership celebrations held at the club was quality “PARTY NIGHT” for those in

attendance. Congratulations to David “Towno” Townsend and Dean White on leading two great teams to their

respective flags. To the photographers Don Arnold and Steve Smith, we appreciate everything you do for us.

The club couldn’t operate without the support of the great band of helpers, so thanks again to all our volunteers and in particular our great ladies Robyn, Pat, Helen and Sue Otto.

May season 2006-07 be prosperous for all of us. I look forward to seeing everyone again next season.

Sam Kekovich and Graeme Hughes

The Phil Tresidder Memorial Cup

Under glorious sunny skies, 102 hopefuls hit-off on

Friday 28 October 2005 at "Royal" Randwick Golf

Course to determine this years' winners of the Phil

Tresidder Memorial Cup. It was our biggest turn-out

yet. Last year we had 85 starters while just 55 took

to the fairways at Marrickville the previous year,

which was our first.

Long time "Legend" and Tresidder Cup Day

organiser Ross Davies excelled himself this year

chasing up everyone and it was somewhat of a

surprise that the Prime Minister wasn't there as he

was probably the only one in the country who didn't

get a call from our Roscoe! Congrats Ross. A great

job!

The Cup this year went to an experienced

"Ambrose" foursome....John O'Loughlin, Paul

O'Loughlin, John Brennan and John Johnson who

finished with a net 45.125, a mere 13.875 under par!

Runners up were Ray Stafford, Tom Hall, Alan

Honan and Cec Orrock with a net 45.875. In

accepting the Phil Tresidder Memorial Cup on behalf of his team, John O'Loughlin recalled that when he made

his debut as an A W Green Shield under 16

cricketer with the old Randwick club back in

1943, one of his team mates that day was

none other than the great Phil Tresidder.

The long drive prizes went to Sean Sampson

and Jeff Woolley while the closest-the-pin

winners were Bob Luck, Chris Burke, Alan

Wright, John Johnson, G McFadden and Mike

Tresidder.

Our thanks are also extended to the many

donors of prizes for the day, which included

Randwick Rugby Club, South Sydney

Juniors, Talisman Marketing (through Mark

Sundin), Clovelly Hotel, Wests Tigers

(through David Kelly), NSW Cricket, Hills

Butchery, Maroubra Family Pharmacy and

Randwick Golf Club.

“The Legends” In our fourth season we welcomed two new members in Brian Hazell, a former Petersham Marrickville batsman who now resides on the Gold Coast and Chris York, a former Randwick allrounder who captained some of the club’s lower grade teams. Unfortunately last September we lost one of our real stalwarts in Mary Beath, widow of the late Randwick President, Bill Beath. Interestingly, Bill was a Petersham Marrickville player before joining Randwick in 1946-47. Mary was regarded as the “first lady” of Randwick Cricket and somewhat of a permanent fixture at Coogee Oval. She is sorely missed. One of the purposes behind the Randwick Petersham Cricket Legends Society is to rekindle and maintain closer links between former players, members, supporters and officials to ensure those many friendships created through the old Randwick and Petersham Marrickville clubs are not lost. Another ideal is that a society such as this provides a real incentive to our players to see so many people who have been involved with the club and the founding clubs over the years, being there to provide support to our current players. A proud history is certain to provide a proud future. The main function this season was the “Phil Tresidder Memorial Cup” Golf Day at Randwick Golf Course on 28 October last year. Proceeds for the day were aimed at the Phil Tresidder Memorial Trust and it was pleasing that an amount of $1,347.20 was donated towards that cause. We are conscious that Mike Whitney’s 25th Test call-up anniversary this year coincides with the English cricket team visiting our shores for the much-anticipated Ashes series. We are therefore hoping to obtain the services of one of the English commentators who played in Mike’s first Test Match in England as guest speaker at a Legends Dinner. Cross your fingers that we can pull it off! The Society funded the cost of framed team photos presented to each of the members of the successful premiership 2nd Grade Randwick Petersham team at the club’s Annual General Meeting last year and plan to do the same thing this year for the 4th and 5th Grade Premiers. In terms of the Society's finances, we finished the year with a net profit of $37.66 following income of $1,959.66 and expenditure of $1,922.00. We received $1,950 in subscriptions, which of course included many members paying one year’s membership in advance for which we are very grateful. Expenditure included presentations of $1,729.00 for the 2nd Grade premiership photos. At 30 April 2006, the net bank balance of Randwick Petersham Cricket Legends Society stood at a healthy $5,906.41. There were no outstanding accounts. The committee this year comprised Lyall Gardner (Chairman), John Pearson, Shane Redenbach, Bill Anderson and Ross Davies while membership totalled 59. Financial members as at 30 April 2006 and who have paid in advance for next year are: John Affleck, Bernard Bayley, John Benaud, Gary Bensley, Ross Davies, Tim Dein, Bob Duff, Paul Fitzgerald, Lyall Gardner, Todd Greenberg, Brian Hazell, Tevor Jay, John Johnson, Michael Kemp, Bill Knowles, Donn and Paul Ledwidge, Graeme Marston, Gary Mathew, Ian McNeilly, John Mison, Gordon Owen, John O’Loughlin, John Pearson, Bruce Ramsay, David Sincock, Ray Stafford, Chris and John Sullivan, Peter Taylor, Alan Turner, Mike Whitney, Alan Wright and Chris York. Financial members as at 30 April 2006 but who have NOT paid in advance for next year are: Alan Austin, Peter Bain, Richie Benaud, John Connell, Ron Crippin, Ian Davis, Gary Goodman, Peter Harrison, John Hayward, Wayne Heathcote, Gary Hughes, Peter Johnston, Helen Milford, Mark Preddey, Arthur Purvis, Tom Regan, Peter Rolls, Duncan Scott-Glassock, Kevin Thomas, David Tink, Tom Walsh, John Warwick, Barry Wood, Geoff Wright, Peter Wright. The annual fee for the 2006-07 season is $25 (or $50 for the next two seasons) and is due and payable from 1 September 2006. To renew or join, please contact Lyall Gardner at 1 Jefferson Crescent, Bonnet Bay, 2226 or by phone on 9528 4126 or email lyallg@optusnet.com.au. We are very keen to hear from as many “oldies” as possible as the Society is a fun way of keeping involved and remaining in touch with each other. To those “Legends” and all those cricketers who may be “getting on a bit”, you might enjoy the following story contained in the AOC Newsletter for April 2005. It goes like this. Fred and George were very old cricketing mates. Fred was on his deathbed and George was there to see him off. “Fred”, George said, “When you get to heaven can you let me know somehow, if they play cricket there?” “It would be great to know that that’s the game they play in heaven”. Fred nodded and slipped away. Days later, George woke one night to a shining vision of Fred at the end of the bed. Fred said, “I’ve been granted 1 minute to come down and talk”. “George”, he said, “I have good news and bad news”. “What’s the good news”, said George. “The good news is … they DO play cricket in heaven. It’s the number one sport!” “You beauty”, said George. “What’s the bad news Fred?” “The bad news is …. you’re opening the bowling on Tuesday”.

The Randy Petes’ helpers One of our great strengths as a club is represented by the number of helpers or volunteers we have. It is these people who give up their time and energy for the benefit of the club, which makes our club the success it has been. A club always needs volunteers as they are its lifeblood and we could not survive without them. This year we have gained a number of new volunteers and are very appreciative of their efforts. Each volunteer listed below has given up their time to ensure the smooth running of our club. We again this year hosted two Grand Finals at Coogee Oval and The Village Green. The following list says it all.

Randy Pete’s Masters Golf Classic – 2006

Pacific Dunes/Nelson Bay Golf Courses by Peter Rolls

Presidents conquer Captains with expanded field.

Masters history made with first ever DUAL CHAMPION!

Evergreen veterans Wrighty and Prince tied for the Green Jacket. First timers for the Jacket and the

first time since Masters inception (1998) that the Jacket has been shared. A see-sawing affair with

Prince leading Day 1 and Wrighty Day 2. Prince overcame a 2 points deficit and a rush to and from

the Premiers dinner to square it up on Day 3. Matched up on the final day saw a battle of wits and

handicaps with Wrighty on 4 and Prince on 21, as they negotiated an unforgiving Nelson Bay

course.

President Wright, a very satisfied president, after collecting the Jacket and the Yard Glass showed

more cheek than a biker in Oxford Street to bring Captain Skeweys crashing back to earth after his

previous two successful campaigns. The expanded field of 28 (from 24) saw Skeweys flock

decimated after Days 1 and 2 with an 8 points deficit and not even a brilliant fight back on Day 3

was enough to reel in the Presidents men’s lead.

“How do you do that?” awards go to:

• Mully for double hitting his Chipper back over his left shoulder to be 10 metres worse off.

• Worm for punching a 3 wood into the deck that back spins the ball to end up 3 metres

behind him.

• Matilda (a new tourist) off 24 handicap scores 10 points Day 1 – a new Masters record (and

proud Hackers Cardy wearer).

• Whitey after all-night card game has to be guided to the direction of the first tee Day 2 (and

subsequent tees!). Result: 13 points. (Lucky he went to the Premiers dinner to avoid the

Cardy!)

• Sammo eagles Par 5 Eighteenth Day 3 after two nights on the “Gas”.

• Hollywood (who owns a security guard business) calls security at the apartments to help

him get back in after locking himself out.

• Two 6.5 foot 110kg blokes sleep in a Toyota Echo (Hollywood and Apps) outside their

apartment while they wait for the security guard.

94

• Unit 19 with 6 blokes smells like baked beans in the mornings with no one cooking!

(Hollywood and Apps nervous about calling security guards).

Another tour is over but what a memorable journey. Mully needs a “purple heart” for pulling

together such a gaggle of golf troopers with more calls than Fous’ 0055 account. Much appreciated

contributions from Devo, Burty, Worm and Gibbo so we have something to show for our efforts.

Towno as professional as ever giving us entertaining interviews with Dicky and play post mortems.

Worms fine voice on the bus but songs had the new tourists bewildered as these “spaldings” had

never heard of “Cracklin’ Rosie”???!!! Long live de tour!!!

Report from the Financial Controller The 2005-2006 season proved to be a difficult one for the Club resulting in a deficit of $12,269.65. There was a downturn in sponsorship as the result of some of our past sponsors being affected by adverse business conditions. However, Dave Townsend put in a big effort to ensure the Club still attracted substantial sums. The result was also impacted by a significant increase in our commitment to coaching, from $41,000 in 2004-2005 to $50,000 in 2005-2006. One area of major expenditure is our ground hire and ongoing maintenance costs which now amount to $95,000 per annum. This cost was predominantly offset by ground hire arrangements, ably managed as usual by Wayne Mulherin. Our canteens at Petersham and Coogee maintained their usual high standard and we would like to thank Robin Gardner for a big effort in taking on both canteens, assisted by Pat, Helen and our loyal volunteers. Finally, our major function at Petersham RSL proved very popular with a big turnout for the dinner, our guest speakers and the auction. Acknowledgement should be made of the tireless efforts put in by Tony and Katie Martin to ensure the success of the night. Bernie Dagg Financial Controller
