Chairman’s Report – Mr Neil Maxwell

2015/16 was an outstanding season for the Club. We were challenged by many to better that performance in the 2016/17 season.

As far as seasons go, I am comfortable suggesting that we did! The first time since the 1950’s that the club has won three premierships in one season.

Winners for the first time in 37 years of the AW Green Shield Premiership, second in the Club Championship (by a handful of points!); the Second Grade Minor Premiers and Premiership Winners and Fourth Grade Minor Premiers and Premiership winners.

Having aligned with Northern District CC, we fielded a reconstituted women’s first grade team that impressively made the Final only to lose narrowly to Gordon. The women’s game is growing exponentially and as one of the most successful clubs in the history of the game, it is imperative that we lead the way in this resurgence.

Congratulations to Janine Stainer who coached the combined team under unusual circumstances. Bringing together a disparate group of girls and turning them into premiership contenders is an amazing achievement.

Through the expert tutelage of our Head of Cricket, Michael Haire and his assistant Michael Procajlo we have been able to build a culture in the club which that we should be immensely proud of. As the boys within our club grow to be men, I can only hope that they pass on the learnings of what it takes to be a successful team. They are learning things now that many ten and fifteen year veterans have never had the fortune to experience at one moment in time – respect for the club, the opposition, their team mates, the game; giving of yourself to help others, sacrifices etc.

Michael embodies these traits in his coaching. He has established a set of standards and expectations within the club that have proved to be the nucleus of our success. I am delighted that some of future first-graders have experienced success via AW Green Shield this season.

The strength of a Men’s Premier Cricket Club is largely predicated on the quality of the captains. In Dan Smith, Daniel Jacob, Dom Tonkin, Nathan Breen and Samad Samih we are truly blessed.

I would like to recognize Jamie Barkley, Chief executive, Sydney Cricket & Sports Ground Trust. The Trust’s support over recent years has been the backbone to our success both on and off the field. To this end, I would like to thank the Board. The contribution of all Board members is much appreciated. I would like to especially thank Jason Penrose who after 8 years has decided to stand down. Jason has overseen the finances of the club and was also involved in the planning of the establishment of the SCGXI.

I would like to recognize our wonderful volunteers and parents who have contributed enormously to the operations of our Club. We would be lost without you all and it clearly emphasises the reliance a Club of this size has on its volunteer base. People like Peter Rashleigh, Brian Lulham, Ian Wright, Glenn and Stevie Harding, Alex Pasternatsky, Gary & Anne King, Joe Laban, Deb Smith, Debbie Holmes and Willie Sowter all provide our Club with so much support.

Special mention and congratulations must also go to our:

• Australian Representative players – Alyssa Healy, Ellyse Perry, Maitlan Brown, Liam Scott and Hugh Sherrif

• First Class representatives – Alyssa Healy, Ellyse Perry, Angela Reakes, Kira Churchland, Nicole Goodwin (NSW or ACT in First Class matches)

• Ben Manenti represented NSW U19’s and Futures League for the ACT Comets • Harry Dalton represented NSW in Futures League • Liam Scott represented Australia U16’s touring to Dubai • Beau McClintock made his debut for NSW 2nd XI (Alex Glendenning was also named but withdrew

through injury)


Page 20

• Matthew Rodgers represented Combined Sydney • Numerous Junior Blues Academy Representatives (male and Female)

Last but by no means least, I would like to thank Greg Healy for his work as General Manager. Greg provides a wonderful strategic-brain that will support us in our growth and stability going forward.

The Club has grown exponentially over the years and even a full-time GM cannot single-handedly manage the huge workload that spans the men’s and women’s cricket divisions, coordination and delivery of the SCGXI, major fixtures at Drummoyne Oval, junior cricket trials and championships, fund-raising events as well as overseeing the operations of the Board along with various sub-committees.

Greg has done a great job. We are fortunate to have identified this resource requirement and put an action plan in place to accommodate it for next season.

I reiterate my closing comments of last year - with success comes new challenges. The Board and Coaching Staff have already started to look at how we can improve on this year. We are looking at the learning’s and addressing some of the short comings. Again, please take a moment (just a moment!) to enjoy the vast improvement and success of recent years.

Here we go again!

General Manager Report – Mr Greg Healy

Following such a successful 2016/17 season and with so many achievements and positive developments across all streams of cricket within SCG Cricket, our club is very well positioned to further maximise our potential and continue to grow.

Our playing groups continue to strengthen through the work of the coaching staff, Mick Haire, Michael Procaljo, Ryan Felsch and Janine Stainer. The leadership of our Club Captains, Tom Ortiz and Alyssa Healy along with our team captains, Dan Smith, Daniel Jacob, Dom Tonkin, Nathan Breen, Samad Shaikh, Harry Manenti, Angela Reakes, Giselle Plummer, Shannon Webb and Grace Thomas created many performance highlights that have been included in Neil Maxwell's Chairmans Report. Congratulations to all involved in a tremendous season. There are many goals still to attain in both men's and women's playing streams in the years ahead and we are well placed to achieve all due to the personnel in key roles.

The structure of the club has continued to evolve and we are fortunate to have a quality Board, chaired by Neil Maxwell who is well connected in all facets of global cricket, the valued input of the SCG Trust nominated Directors (Jamie Barkley, Maurice Newman AC, Jane Coles), elected representatives of the Sydney Cricket Club (Neil Maxwell, Anthony Brooks, Jason Penrose, Matt Wiesner) and independent Director and legal counsel, Paul Tonkin. The strength of the Board across business, governance, government interaction, marketing and membership provides such constructive strategic direction for all entities within the club. Thank you for the valued input to the growth of the Sydney Cricket Club and SCG Cricket. The vision and commitment of Rodney Cavalier AO (SCG Cricket Inaugural and Current President) along with Jamie Barkley should always be remembered as our club continues to grow.

David Kelly has played a key role within the club over many years and he continues to do so. DK has progressed his career in sports administration but remains an active club member. He has been on call to assist me and others in the management transition of the club and remains a great sounding board across the premier cricket and SCG XI streams. Thanks David, your involvement is very much appreciated.

The volunteers across all streams are the unsung heroes of our club. The club has a hectic season schedule with premier cricket, the SCG XI domestic and tour schedules, the elite cricket content in both men's and women's cricket which is played at Drummoyne Oval and without our valued volunteer base, all would not be possible. The Drummoyne Oval venue through the Premier Cricket final series has received very positive feedback - all due to our ground staff and volunteers who worked so hard to provide the players the special experience they deserved. We continue the need to expand our base of volunteers in order to achieve a balanced workload in delivering the desired outcomes established by the Board and Operations Committees. Sincere thanks to all for your commitment and reliability as we continue to progress our plans which all lead to us improving our cricketing facilities for our players.

Drummoyne Oval has continued to improve its ground rating over the last three years and was offered as the ground to host the Mens 1st Grade Premier Cricket Grand Final. Full credit to Matt Sommerville and his Green Options team along with the valued support from the staff of the City of Canada Bay Council. Our facilities for our players and supporters remain a priority for our club and we will be investing in further upgrades of ground infrastructure in the coming years.

The support of the ground staff at Birchgrove Park and Ryde Park for the match day facilities provided was appreciated by our teams. Thank you to the Innerwest Council and City of Ryde Council for their support of the Sydney Cricket Club in achieving the ambitious club goals. Our facilities all rated highly in the end of season reports.

Playing Streams

Success has come from all areas of the club, namely:

• Mens Premier Cricket • Womens Premier Cricket • SCG XI - domestic and international cricket • Youth Academy Programs • Personal Leadership program

Mens Premier Cricket: A season of many major highlights with three premierships - 2nd Grade, 4th Grade and AW Green Shield. Special mention to Daniel Jacob (SCA 2nd Grade Captain of the Year) and his team for consecutive premierships over the past 2 seasons. An outstanding playing season for Nic Bills who took out the major club awards. The club culture, our players attitude to continuous improvement at training under Michael Haire and a willingness to support each other has seen a significant transition over the past three years. The commemorative Green Shield book produced by SCG XI member, Gerard Riley is an outstanding piece of history for our club.

Womens Premier Cricket: The Tigers have a strong representative player base at both State, WBBL and International level. Rachael Haynes recently captained Australia at the Womens World Cup and along with Ellyse Perry and Alyssa Healy continued the tradition of the Tigers Club. The club provides eight players into the representative season which places a strain on the premier cricket playing group. This season we created a joint venture with Northern Districts in 1st Grade and were runners up in a closely fought grand final. Special mention to Naomi McDonald who took out the major club awards for the season. The selection and performance of Maitlan Brown to the WNCL, WBBL and Australia U/23 reflects the programs that are in place at the club. The rebuild continues to take shape and we now have a solid core attending training each week. The improvement in the Brewer Shield Youth squad is promising for the club going forward. Thanks to Janine Stainer for her leadership in reviving the club.

SCG XI Program: The playing strength of the SCG XI continues to grow with more playing members being engaged in the concept of global social cricket. The SCG XI Committee has been working hard to develop more regional matches after the success of the day / night fixture in Dubbo, attract greater sponsorship into the playing stream, rebrand and relaunch the member entity under the traditional heritage colours of the SCG Trust and provide the opportunity for more Trust members to be associated with the SCG XI. International tours in July 2016 to India and in April 2017 to Hong Kong proved a valuable experience for players and supporters. The support of the SCG Trust in making the concept work is much appreciated and as we look at further strategies to promote cricket at the SCG, the SCG XI presence creates greater value for the members of the Trust. The SCG XI aims to launch a competitive womens team in the 2017/18 season.

Youth Academies: The success of the Men's Youth Academy is there for all to see - the AW Green Premiership, the first in 37 years for the club. The academy program has been operating for the past five years and provides young cricketers a pathway into premier cricket at both youth and senior ranks. Following the success of the programs, a full academy program is being initiated for the womens youth streams in the 2017/18 season. Our thanks to the team at Triforce, Ash Squire and Dan Smith, for their support of the program. The club aims to support the development of cricket, both male and female across the inner west by initiating such programs.

Leadership Program: Personal development is an ongoing process for all in everyday life. Our cricketers need to maximise all assistance available as the sport continues to grow and become more competitive if they are to progress to the next level of elite cricket. The program initiated by Michael Haire and Alan Mantle has provided our players with greater clarity, a stronger sense of purpose and what it takes within themselves to better their performance. The season's reflection has again highlighted the success of the program, the motivating factors for personal and team success and the enhanced self- confidence of our players who have made the commitment to be involved. The improved club culture, the winning spirit and the focus of playing the game the right way, has been assisted by the program. Congratulations to Michael and Alan for their dedication in creating the opportunities for our emerging talent to progress their aspirations.


Page 23

The planning for the 2017/18 season is well underway across all streams of cricket and once again, it will be a full schedule. The appointment of Dan Smith to head the operations committee will greatly assist in the delivery of our plans particularly in the Premier Grade Cricket at Drummoyne Oval.

Plans are being finalised for a number of events:

• Premier Cricket Season - Men and Women • SCG XI - domestic and international cricket • Mens Interstate One Day Cup - three matches to be played at Drummoyne Oval in October 2017. • The Governor General XI vs the touring England Womens World Cup winning side at Drummoyne Oval

on 15 November 2017. • A mens tour match between England and an Australian XI at Drummoyne Oval on 11 January 2018. • A Global Spirit of Cricket Challenge - 8 mens and 4 womens teams converging on Sydney from 8/1/18 -

14/1/18 being facilitated by SCG Cricket. Matches and Events are being coordinated by the committee.

Sponsorship and Partners: Without the valued input of our sponsors and business partners, the club could not function. The support from the SCG Trust and the support staff is much appreciated, the financial support of JCB, TriForce, VW Leichhardt and New Balance as major sponsors assists all playing members with the facilities and equipment needed to be successful.

The City of Canada Bay Council, the Innerwest Council and The City of Ryde Council all support our club with facilities and administration assistance - thank you.

Planning is well underway for the 2017/18 season which will present opportunities and challenges for all within the club, particularly our players. The broad club is well positioned to grow in stature and strength but it will take a new level of commitment from all to ensure the programs remain contemporary, further enhance the culture and desired environment and continue to make a contribution to the development of our facilities.

Thanking every member of our historic club.

Greg Healy General Manager.

Director of Cricket Report

It is with great pleasure that I present my season 2016/17 report.

Firstly, can I begin by congratulating all within our Club for the achievements which we attained in 2016/17. To be able to emulate the success of season 2015/16 is testament to the quality of players, administrators, coaches, supporters and volunteers who comprise Sydney Cricket Club.

It wasn’t easy…we had doubters but YOU made it happen.

It is not my intention in this report to highlight team or individual performances but I must acknowledge the premierships of 2nd Grade, 4th Grade and Green Shield…OUTSTANDING.

So how did we achieve these results? HARD WORK!

It began on the sandhills at Wanda on the 7th August, continued with additional fitness sessions under the guidance of Scott King and several indoor net sessions at the SCG. There was an excitement within our group and an expectation as we looked forward to the coming season. We were with our mates, enjoying each other’s company.

Our season, once again, was predicated on one key element…WORK HARD…which was reinforced at every training session. Our results, are a direct reflection of the group’s preparedness to embrace the challenge. Every player should be proud of what we have achieved and be congratulated for the work ethic that you displayed.

Simply, the group, TRAINED TO WIN and PREPARED TO BE THE BEST THEY COULD BE.

Our results weren’t achieved by one individual…they are the result of several people’s efforts. A wonderful team.

Firstly, thank you to the Board of our Club. Led by Chairman, Neil Maxwell, the support you provided was invaluable to ensure all operational facilities required to play cricket at our best was delivered. The structure we have is the envy of all Premier Grade Clubs and makes the process of playing so much easier.

To our General Manger, Greg Healy, thank you for your outstanding support.

To all our support staff: Michael Procajlo, Dan Smith, Ash Squire, Matt Ryan and David Williams. Thank you for your tireless efforts. Once again, MP’s contribution was magnificient. To Pat Rodgers our PGs coach and Ryan Felsch our successful Green Shield coach…thank you both. To Dave Ball, our practice captain…thank you.

A special thank you to our Captains: Dan Smith, Daniel Jacob, Dom Tomkin, Nathan Breen and Samad Shaikh…wonderful contributions throughout the entire season.

To our Educators led brilliantly by our Club Captain Tom Ortiz: Beau Mclintock, Stephen King, Cameron Holmes, Ollie Meroni and Damien Rapisarda…your support and leadership was a key plank to our success.

To Alan Mantle, our resident Mind Whisperer. The work you do within our group does not go unnoticed… simply outstanding. To Chris Evans our Physiotherapist who made himself available to the playing group on Tuesdays and match days…a big thank you.

So, what awaits us in season 2017/18? More HARD WORK Tigers.

“WHERE WOULD YOU RATHER BE”

SCG XI Report

The past summer has seen yet another successful season in the establishment phase of the SCG XI, the cricket club competing both domestically and internationally as part of the Sydney Cricket and Sports Ground Trust. The brand and history of the game of cricket, the association with the Trust and the opportunities being afforded to our members, can only enshrine the SCG with the global cricket grounds such as Lords (MCC), Melbourne (MCC) and India (CCI).

Our playing and social members continue to increase with more players coming on board to make their debut for the SCG XI in season, 2016/17. There were a mixture of marquee matches, both touring sides and domestic sides to complement social but still competitive cricket played throughout the season and all played at wonderful venues. The customary season opening match vs the oldest traditional cricket club, IZingari at the scenic Coogee Oval bookended by the IZingari sleep over event at Camden, enabled the members the necessary reflection over the season. The Hunter Valley Challenge long weekend led by Stephen Leathley and our valued Hunter members provided another season highlight and a match as part of the Hunter T20 cricket festival. Bombay Gymkhana, the oldest cricket club in Mumbai, visited our shores and took on the SCG XI. A competitive match was played and going down to the final over however, a professional performance by the tourists saw them get home against a valiant SCG XI. We look forward to our next tour of India to reconnect with such a famous global club and experience the mateship and Spirit of Cricket that was the highlight of the match.

The 2nd Sunday of October features the Rodney Cavalier Cup, SCG XI vs the Bradman Foundation at the majestic Bowral Oval, adjacent to the Bradman Museum. There is no greater history captured than this magnificent museum and all consider it such a cricketing privilege to be part of the Bradman history. To Rina and Jock, our sincere thanks for enabling the match to commemorate the Rodney Cavalier Cup each year. This season, the cup returned to the SCG (2nd home of Rodney Cavalier AO) after the SCG XI victory, captained by our Chairman and founding director, Neil Maxwell.

The day/ night pink ball test match was another milestone for cricket and through our association with the Primary Club of Australia, our members enjoyed the hospitality and cricketing comradery of the Chateau Tanunda event around the Test match in Adelaide.

The inaugural City / Country SCG XI match was played in Dubbo and held under lights. The charge, led by SCG XI stalwart, former NSW State fast bowler and committee member, Andrew Jones, in consultation with Mel Hancock and the Dubbo City Council, provided an outstanding community event. All who attended appreciated the hospitality of the local community in staging the event and we aim to do it bigger and better in season 2017/18. The Country XI again proved too strong and it was agreed when “country cricket is strong, cricket in this country is strong”. Planning is well underway to make the event a major fundraiser for the local community and to have more marquee players participating in the match under the banner of the SCG XI.

Further matches were played against the best domestic social clubs – Primary Club, MCC Residents, the legendary Victoria Barracks – the sister organisation of the SCG, Cricketers Club of NSW and Paddington CC.

Following the final match of the season, a touring party left for Hong Kong on Good Friday morning and played matches over a 10 day period (see report from the tour). A great time was had by all and our sincere thanks to the Hong Kong Cricket Club for their amazing hospitality. The tour, under the management of Rossco Barrat, has been described “as one of the best yet” with next years tour currently being researched and details will be announced in the coming months.

Administratively, the 2016/17 has been a transition year and planning of some new structures, aimed to see the SCG XI grow. The SCG XI Committee has some planned initiatives which are about sustaining the member organisation and further enhancing the member experience for all involved.

The SCG XI always strives to promote “The Spirit of Cricket” – those intangible factors of friendship, enjoyment and sportsmanship that make the global game of cricket so special. We look forward to another successful season in 2017/18.

SCG XI Tour of Hong Kong 14th – 21st April 2017 The SCG XI continued to build and foster its cricket relationships internationally with a tour to Hong Kong during April 2017. A touring party of 27 strong including a playing roster of 14, an official scorer and a professional tour manager embarked on the eight day tour over the Easter Holiday period. With a four game fixture list and social based activities program which included a golf challenge and an outing to the famous Happy Valley races the SCG XI tourist enjoyed a fulfilling and stimulating itinerary. Various match formats where spread over the tour with T20, 50 overs and the quintessentially Hong Kong cricket format of 35 overs per side being represented. The Hong Kong Cricket Club was founded in 1851 making it one of the oldest cricket clubs in Asia. Today the HKCC plays a proactive part in nurturing, growing and playing cricket in Hong Kong. It fields competitive sides in the HKCA competition and also has a solid junior program ‘Gapers” with over 500 participants. The Hong Kong Cricket Club went to exceptional lengths to host the SCG XI over the Easter Weekend with a superb welcome reception, a three match fixture list and a memorable official tour dinner to cap off proceedings. It should be noted that the Hong Kong Cricket Club is currently undertaking major club renovations this did not detract in any way from the accommodating and welcoming hospitality the SCG XI received by all at HKCC. SCG XI tourist where granted a special temporary membership of the prestigious HKCC for the duration of the tour. Tourist & players alike utilised the clubs facilities including its many renowned restaurants and bars, swimming pool, gymnasium & world class indoor cricket training facility. Some of the SCG XI playing members took advantage of the HKCC specialist cricket coaches with additional one on one training sessions conducted at the club. The Easter Saturday T20 vs. HKCC provide to be a competitive encounter with a fire powered batting display by HKCC combined with home ground knowledge setting the tone posting a score of 5 for 240. The SCG XI fought competitively with bat & ball however falling short in the run chase with 7 for 160 seeing HKCC victorious.

The Fred Bennett Memorial Trophy – 1st Grade Player of the Year – Men’s

To perpetuate the memory of a great stalwart of the Club. Our Committee commissioned a memorial trophy in his honour. Frederick William Bennett joined Balmain in 1938 and served the Club for an amazing 57 years until his untimely passing on Australia Day, 1995. He was an excellent wicketkeeper batsman who made his First Grade debut in the 1940/41 season, just prior to joining the 2nd/4th Australian Army Regiment with which he served in New Guinea and the Solomon Islands reaching the rank of Lieutenant. After rejoining Balmain in 1945, Fred continued his First and later Second Grade career with considerable success, culminating in his leading our Second Grade side to the premiership in 1953/54. For the next 27 years, Fred did a remarkable job looking after the Club as its major custodian. In 1976 he took over the Presidency from Cliff Winning and held this position until his passing. His administrative skills were very widely recognised and led to his appointment to the NSWCA where he served in many capacities including Chairman for nine years from 1954/55. Fred served on the Australian Cricket Board from 1967 to 1988 and was its Chairman from 1983-1987. He managed several Australian Touring sides in the period from 1969 to 1981 and was recognised by all as a great bloke and great administrator. Fred was honoured with three Life Memberships, Balmain District Cricket Club in 1956, the New South Wales Cricket Association in 1959 and the MCC in 1980. To complement these honours, he was awarded the Order of the British Empire (OBE) in 1980 for services to sport.The Committee, in commissioning this trophy, acted as it believed Fred would have wished in presenting it for the Outstanding First Grade Player. It was decided that the Committee would award this trophy on the basis of assessment in the following categories: Playing Performance, Citizenship, Conduct, Training Attendance and General Contribution to the Club.

Bull who was Honorary Secretary from 1910-1939 and President from 1939-1956. Todd Tanner joined our Club in 1920, was elected to the Management Committee in 1921 and, on numerous occasions, acted as its Chairman. His service to the Club in this capacity continued until his death in 1956 without his missing a Committee meeting. Todd Tanner was a delegate to the NSWCA and other cricket bodies on behalf of the Club for many years and was elected a Life Member in 1935. His greatest cricketing achievement was the taking of all 10 wickets for 32 runs in a City and Suburban Match in 1920, closely followed by 145 runs (still a record), during which he clouted many sixes into Snail’s Bay at Birchgrove. He was one of the most ardent supporters of Poidevin-Gray and AW Green Shield Cricket.

• The winner for 2016/17 – Cameron Holmes Cameron has followed his 4th grade award last season with the 3rd grade award in 2016/17.

Colin Thomlinson Memorial Trophy – 5th Grade Player of the Year – Men’s This trophy was donated by the family of the late Colin Thomlinson in honour of his memory and service to our Club. Colin played in an era when First Grade cricket was of a very high standard, but was deprived of competing permanently at that level because of the controversial nature of his excellent fastish off-break delivery but by no means was this a unanimous opinion. Nevertheless, Colin accepted these reversals like the great sportsman he was and continued to give the Club yeoman service on and off the field right up to the time of his untimely passing. It was determined that this trophy should be awarded to the best Fifth Grade player.

• The winner for 2016/17 – Joshua Bass Joshua is an emerging talent within the Tigers – 232 runs as the leading run getter for the 5th grade side. Athol Aria Memorial Trophy – Poidevin Gray Shield Player of the Year Presented to the Club in honour of a Senior Vice President, Athol Aria who served the Club splendidly in numerous auxiliary, “behind the scenes” capacities. He knew Drummoyne Oval like “the back of his hand” … one of his pet phrases, because he was also closely associated with the Drummoyne Rugby Club during the Winter. His valuable service dates back to the days when it was customary to charge admission for First Grade matches and Athol was invariably on deck to collect the money. Certainly, one of our Club’s staunchest loyalists.

• The winner for 2016/17 – Matt Rodgers Greg Hayne Player of the Year – Tigers Leading Runscorer This award is presented to honour one of our greatest ever Tigers Greg Hayne. Greg leads our Club in centuries scored and leading runs with over 12 000 during his illustrious career.

• The winner for 2016/17 – Jack Haynes

Jack Haynes had a record breaking season in this season’s Green Shield Premiership Success. A double century, a further hundred and record partnerships with the top order laid a solid platform for the team success. Accepting the award on Jack’s behalf, Manager Sean Scott.

Nerida Walker Award - Player of the Year in Brewer Shield This trophy was first awarded in the 2002/03 Season in recognition of the commitment made by Nerida Walker in establishing the Club’s Brewer Shield side during the mid 1990’s.

Major Individual Awards Club Awards The Archie Jackson Memorial Trophy – Player of the Year – Men’s

The 1932/33 Committee of the Balmain District Cricket Club decided to ensure that the name of a great Balmain, New South Wales and Australian cricketer should forever be perpetuated in our Club history by arranging for, and providing to the Club, a magnificent Shield to be presented annually to the mens player of the year. Archie Jackson was Balmain’s youngest Interstate and International Representative, who succumbed to Tuberculosis at only 23 years of age in February, 1933. In 1926/27, after showing tremendous promise as a schoolboy, he amassed, at the tender age of 17, a First Grade aggregate of 870 runs in only 12 innings (2 not outs), including five centuries at an average of 87.00. He was chosen the same season to play for NSW for whom he scored two centuries and three fifties. Test Match representation came in February 1929 in Adelaide (Fourth Test) when he recorded a top score of 162 on debut v England – an innings which brought him cricketing immortality. Archie played for Balmain from 1924 to 1932 scoring 11 centuries, represented NSW on 23 occasions scoring 1858 runs at an average of 54.64 and played in eight Tests, scoring 474 runs at 47.40.

GLENN THORPE

Sadly Glenn Thorpe passed away in February 2017 after a long illness. Glenn was a stalwart of our club having supported his son during his many seasons at Balmain . Both Glenn and his wife Marion were always around to support the club when needed. At the start of 1992/93 season when the club was going through a large changing phase, Glenn took on the significant role of Treasurer which he committed himself to until the end of the 1996/97 season (the year of the club’s Centenary). His outstanding work in ensuring the Centenary functions went off very well was a credit to him. Unfortunately Glenn and others were forced to give up their close involvement with the club due to changes in the club management at the time. Glenn was a very loyal Balmain club man who is sorely missed. Many thanks for your great contribution to the Balmain Club Vale GlennThorpe STEPHEN McAPPION Stephen sadly passed away on 7th August 2016 He made an outstanding contribution to the Balmain District Cricket Clubin the 1980’s and 1990’s with his support of Laurie Lawrence and Geoff Futcher in the junior development squads and AW Green Shield teams. Stephens strong association with the Gladesville Cricket Association provided the contact for youngsters from that area to be involved with the Balmain Club. In 1997/98, after a split in the Balmain Club, Stephen took on the Club Secretaries role, a job which needed considerable involvement with all aspect of the club. After leaving the Balmain club at the end of the 1997/98 season, Stephen took up umpiring in Grade cricket and his statistics in this area until his passing were as follows: Matches 367- 3rd Grade 30, 4th Grade 118, 5th Grade 120 and Shires 79. Thank you Stephen for your significant contribution to our club and the Sydney Cricket Association. Vale Stephen McAppion JOYCE HAYNE Wife of Jack and mother of Club Legend Greg, passed away in late June. Joyce along with her husband were long time supporters of Balmain during son Greg’s playing days. Vale Joyce Hayne

Mens 1st Grade Report

First of all I’d like to take this opportunity to congratulate everyone involved in Sydney Cricket Club for another tremendous season. Premiers and Minor Premiers in 2nd and 4th grade well led by Daniel Jacob and Nathan Breen, Premiers in AW Green Shield led by Harry Manenti and coached by Ryan Felsch and also runners in in the women’s first grade comp led by Ange Reakes, Alyssa Healy and coached by Janine Stainer, and another heartbreaking but extremely pleasing 2nd year runners up in Club Championship. Well done to all.

Onto our 1st Grade season.

I think it would be fitting to say after the year previously we were looking to take everything learnt and improve and go one better this season. Well we didn’t quite reach the lofty heights we were hoping to.

Unfortunately, we finished 5th and to be honest probably deserved to finish out of the top 3 with the way we played at times this season and lost controlling our own destiny, that being said I have no doubt that on a sunny weekend the quarter final round without sounding cocky or arrogant we knock over Gordon and move on to the semi the following week. But we didn’t!

I don’t think we played our best cricket at all this year, disappointing yes. Exciting yes.

Why is it exciting?

We scraped and fought tooth and nail backs to the wall from positions where anyone in their right mind would write us off to muster that all important W and 6 points. We flat our bungled a very modest 120 odd in the T20 semi-final to play off for the big prize in the big dance, out one day cricket was extremely disappointing and flat out poor, coming from semi-finalists to not being in the same race this year is something we need to look at and rectify this coming season.

Exciting because we played some average cricket and were in the sniff to win 2 out of the 3 competitions this season. Exciting because I believe that if we manage to put it all together next season with the group of players we have that not many teams will come close to us.

That being said we won some of the most amazing games I have ever been a part of, defending 220 V a long Randwick Petersham batting line up, defending 300 on a Manly oval road with boys out injured and 2 bowlers going down mid game and WK not taking part in the after no one sessions because of a dislocated finger. That was one of the sweetest single file up the stairs team songs of all time, and the win at Bankstown oval was fought with determination and handed Bankstown there only 2 day loss at Bankstown Oval in over 2 years just to name a couple.

Everyone stood up in different staged this season, but a special mention must go to Nic Bills, Ben Manenti and Joe Denly, their consistency and class all season was astonishing and they consistently stood tall when the chips were down.

Belvedire Cup: 5th

One Day Cup: 15th

Kingsgrove T20 Cup: 3rd

Matt Rodgers: Dodgeball had another season of ups and downs, there is no doubt what so ever that he belongs in first grade and dominating. Season highlighted by a quality century against Mosman. A little more self-belief and we will see the best of Dodge in the coming years, has all the toys with the bat and 900+ runs seasons are certainly within reach.


Page 38

Justin Mosca: Little Fish certainly showed the class he has with the bat in small doses, I know he will be kicking himself because he threw away some big runs getting out after all the hard work was done. Once he gets the monkey off his back with his first 1st grade ton there will be no stopping him.

Harry Dalton: Dalts will be the first to admit he didn’t reach the heights he was hoping for this year. That being said he has a lot to be proud of, he had a massive off season and we saw a huge transformation in his fitness and also made his NSW second 11 debut. I’m sure it was a big year of learning for him. He is not far away but needs to knock the door down with big match winning runs. At times I felt Harry got a little caught up in trying to play at the next level (which is easy to do when you get a little taste) but he must remember the process leads you to the destination. Win games for Sydney the rest will follow.

AJ Mosca: Fish is the sort of guy everyone likes playing with but not against. He is an old school brawler with the bat and in the field. We have seen glimpses of AJs best the last few seasons but he knows glimpses are not good enough by the standards he sets himself. AJ should be scoring 1000+ runs a season every season. There is your challenge.

Beau McClintock: Bozo will be another disappointed with his season on a personal level. Again showed his capabilities but yet to dominate 1st grade level. His glovework was crisp all season again. He will be disappointed with his output with the bat this season, but is certainly more than capable of scoring match winning runs for this team. None more important than the knock Vs Wests.

Ben Manenti: Another fantastic season for Benjamin. Has become a genuine all-rounder. Strikes it as clean as anyone going around and probably should have had 2 or 3 first grade hundreds this season, he will learn from it and improve. His bowling was again exceptional and is a class above any off spinner in NSW. Was great to see him get an opportunity in the ACT second 11 this season and surprised no one in our team with consistent performances with bat and ball. Benny will do anything to win a game for this team often putting personal performances aside to do so. His match fitness and ability to bowl quality long spells is phenomenal and it’s a credit to all the work he does behind closed doors. Shower his class with a marathon 6/60odd off 38 overs basically unchanged in the ¼ final. Hopefully NSW realise the talent this kid has got before it’s too late!!!!

Alex Glendenning: Only the rarest of the rare can miss a big chunk of the season due to ankle ligament damage caused by slipping on a rock! The skill and talent is there, Glendo learnt this year that being a young fast bowler you have to be professional in preparation, recovery and at training to stay on the park for long seasons over and over again. He knows he let himself down at times this year but like any young player he will learn from it. Again was rewarded with a spot in the Sixers Academy and is a player of the future. A big off season will see Alex bowl faster which will see his stocks rise rapidly. His batting is not to be over looked and is a genuine all-rounder in the making.

Tom Ortiz: The Peoples champ! A challenging year for Ticca, moving out of home and starting a full time role in the corporate world was always going to make things interesting. Unfortunately injuries meant we didn’t get to see Tic at his best this season. That being said the club captain always kept a positive attitude and gave himself every chance to come back earlier than expected. All the great man needs to do is stay on the park and wickets will come his way! Ps: His batting is getting better and better and may not be a legs 11 forever!!!

Nic Bills: What can I say about Blink that does him justice? I don’t need to say anything. Everyone in the club knows the sort of bloke he is. From day 1 we knew he was all that this club looks for in all its players, hardworking, selfless, professional, a natural leader by actions and just a bloody good bloke. His on field performances speak for themselves 50 wickets and countless match winning 5 wicket hauls. The most pleasing thing about watching Blinky go about his business was that it was all done with a smile on his face. There is an old saying if you enjoy what you are doing you will do a great job, this was certainly the case. Was also a brilliant mentor for the younger bowlers in the club. Was rewarded with another second 11 call up and a 6 wicket haul to go with it. Looking forward to watching the great man tear sides apart with a smile on his face for many more years to come!


Page 39

Ryan Felsch: Fletch showed everyone but more importantly himself that he is a 1st grade cricketer. A highly skilled cricketer who is starting to put consistent performances together with bat and ball. Played some quality knocks this year, we all know his power but he played some smart match winning innings like the one against Wests showing us all what he is capable of. His new ball bowling was also quality the spell against NDs was one of the bet of the season, an improvement of his old ball bowling will see fletch dominate first grade cricket.

Nathan Sowter: Unfortunately due to English commitments and injury we didn’t get to see The Fantastic Mr Sid from the 8 box at his best this season. Love how Sowts wears his heart on his sleeve and will do anything for the team even putting his own aspirations aside, he is a guy I want in my team every day of the week! We all know the brilliant player that Sowts is and wish him all the best in England with his professional commitments with Middlesex and I’m sure that first class cricket isn’t far away for him. Hoping we get him back for a full season as he is a huge player for us and makes us a serious rounded team! The perfect world allows him to play for the tigers round 1 to the GF and play all season for Middlesex.

Others that played roles for us this year and all contributed in many ways not only on games days but throughout the year were, Justin Rodgie, Ryan Corns, Liam Gibson, Ash Squire, Tristan McDonald, Daniel Jacob and Matt Pasternatski.

The Engine Room:

Michael Haire: I said it last year one of the best men in cricket and I stand true to that word. Old school, non reinvented, simple yet refined managing. People do not realise the work the Pubes does behind the scenes they say the fight is one away from the cameras, not a truer work was said. The detail, the work, the effort and countless hours of phone conversations and coffee meetings (which he conveniently forgets his card most of the time) looking for ways to improve the structure, the culture, training, games and each and every individual from players right through the club all the way to Green Shield. He will hate me saying this but he is the Wayne Bennet of Sydney Premier Cricket. I thank you personally for all you have done for the club and taught me again this year.

Brian Lulham: The best in the business, bar none………………..ever! Not one other Premier Club in Sydney will see a man of Brians age working tirelessly on a super soper for hours on end. Why would he do it some would ask. Brian would not even bat an eyelid, you just know whatever needs to be done Brian does it. We love you and appreciate you Brian and we thank you.

Coaching staff: Michael Haire, Michael Procaljo, Ash Squire, Scotty King, David Williams, Matty Ryan, Pat Rodgers and Ryan Felsch, winning 3 premierships in one season and runners up in the Club Champion is a credit to the structures you put in place at training and come weekends, we are very lucky that you allow us to play hard but play fair and play with freedom. You do a tremendous job across the club and should be proud of all your efforts this year.

Ian Wright: Wrighty knows I like to have a dig at him every now and then, especially when he comes back from Shield, Matador Cup or Breaker Duty and about how he forgets where he has come from when he doesn’t think we need a team sheet, but wrighty you’re a legend, always there (when something bigger hasn’t come up) always getting stats to me when I ask. Thanks very much once again.

Kathy Ortiz: Thank you for taking over the reins when Wrightey is unavailable, your attention to detail especially on the scoreboard hasn’t gone unnoticed and you have certainly given a selection headache when it comes to talking about selecting the first grade scorer week in week out.

Matt Sommerville: This guy is a genius! Drummoyne Oval, without a doubt is the number one ground on which to play cricket in Sydney. Recognition of that came with the offer from the SCA Committee of Management for Drummoyne Oval to host the Mens premier first grade grand final. Drummoyne Oval hosts elite mens and womens cricket as well as premier cricket throughout each season and ratings hould reflect that status. Matt, you and your team are a pleasure to work with and our club knows how fortunate we are to have your commitment and dedication to the Drumoynne Oval facilties.

Afternoon Tea Army: As always led by the captain Beth Lulham and all the soldiers, Mrs Smith, Mrs Dalton, Mrs McClintock, Mrs Bills, Mrs Manenti, Mrs Ortiz and Mrs Sowter our afternoon teas are the talk of Sydney Premier Grade we thank you for the amazing spread week in week out.

Volunteers: No premier club would survive without volunteers, the effort and hard work put in simply for the love of the club take a special sort of person and our are fantastic, week in week out whether it be working or in between jobs supporting the boys out the middle so to Glenny, Yummy, Willie Sowter, Dave Ball, Pete Rashleigh, Garry King, and to all other parents and partners that support throughout the club thank you for your unwavering support of this club we all love.

Neil Maxwell and the entire SCC Board: We are extremely fortunate for all the work you do for us behind the scenes, the goal was to become the best club in the world, I can comfortably say whilst we may not be there just yet we are on our way. More trophies another runners up in the Club Championship certainly wouldn’t be possible without your support. Collectively we thank you.

Supporters: Certainly last but not least your support week in week out through good days and bad days and everything in between, we love playing in front of you, the cheers when we take wickets and loud claps for important dot balls in tense T20 games and your loud cheers for all milestones whether it be 50’s, 100’s, 200’s or 5 for’s doesn’t go unheard. So thank you not only for putting up with us but continuing to support us.

I’d also like to thank my wife Tania and for what she puts up with every single year for the last god knows how many years but this season especially, becoming a mum and being the best mum to our little man Rocky. Your unwavering support is always appreciated. Whilst it’s been an amazing ride it’s certainly coming to an end and I know no matter what 100, duck, win, lose or draw your support and love is always there. Just when your weekends look like being free of sport commitments I’m sure Rocky’s sporting endeavours will take over.

Once again congratulations to the club on another successful year, but I can already hear the words of the DOC now, enjoy the success now because as soon as the pre-season starts the pats on the back are done and dusted and it’s time to work hard and train to win.

Like only tigers do!

Womens 1st Grade Report

Women’s Grade Report

Rebuilding the women’s program has been a key theme for Sydney Cricket Club during the 2016-17 season and much success has eventuated from all this work across all levels. The highlights for 2016-17 were that all grades improved their positions from the previous season, with first grade playing in the grand final, an individual association award winner and national honours.

At the end of the previous season the club needed to review playing numbers and direction in order to remain competitive in the first grade competition. Having several players playing at higher representative levels put a strain on the player numbers. During the 2016 winter break meetings were held between Northern Districts CC and Sydney CC led by Greg Healy (General Manager) to establish a partnership to enable both clubs to remain competitive in the women’s 50 over competition.

From these discussions, a joint venture was developed to provide players from both clubs to field a combined first grade team to be known as the Sydney Rangers. Further meetings involving club administrators and coaches led to establishing team guidelines to assist with the transition to combine each playing group into one style of play.

The pre-season started in late August as we introduced the Sydney Rangers concept and welcomed several new players to the club. The mix of established players and the new arrivals created a competitive environment for each grade team and provided junior players with a standard to aspire to.

The Sydney Cricket Club is fortunate to have a number of state cricketers who played in under age national competitions, along with WNCL and WBBL competitions. Due to these representative commitments fielding the same team each week was difficult however through all this juggling and strength in playing numbers the Sydney Rangers team played consistently each match and went on to play in the 50 over first grade final. Unfortunately, the team was unable to bring home the trophy and were beaten by Gordon in the final. Sydney CC’s second grade side finished 5th and unlucky not to make the finals. The combined 1st & 2nd grade T20 team finished 7th and showed improvement as the competition progressed.

The overall success and improvement during the season was due to the players’ commitment to attend training each week. The senior players trained alongside the Brewer Shield girls and not only developed skills but also comradery amongst each age group that helped build a competitive and cohesive club culture. Additional thanks to the club captains Ange Reakes, Alyssa Healy, Shannon Webb and Gizelle Plummer for their leadership and mentoring across all levels.

Each club player should be congratulated on their overall improvement, persistence and will to succeed as a Sydney Tigers player. This only holds the women’s teams in a good position to rebuild and strive for future team success.

Although it is not about individuals, special mention must go to award winners Naomi McDonald for winning the SCA 50 ov batting average along with club awards (T20 and overall club player of the year), Jess Marks (2nd Grade player of the year) and special mention to Rachael Haynes for her outstanding season with NSW and her club performances (50 ov player of the year) which led to Australian team selection. In February Rachael was recalled into the Australian team for the tour to New Zealand and also selected into the Australian World Cup team playing in the ICC WWC17 tournament in England. Congratulations also to Alyssa Healy and Ellyse Perry for their consistent season with NSW and Australian team selection and WWC17 performances.

Finally, I would like to acknowledge the support of the Sydney CC in particular Greg Healy for his tireless work and passion for cricket at all levels. The Sydney CC Board, led by Chairman Neil Maxwell, Director of Cricket Michael Haire, Club Captain Dan Smith and Matt Somerville and all the ground staff for the quality of facilities available to players each week. Also thanks to Chris Marsh (Sydney Rangers selection and playing days), Jenny Holden for Drummoyne Oval operations and Paul Lynch for scoring each week in both 2nd grade and T20 competition. Without all these volunteers and their collective efforts we would not function as a club. Further thanks to the parents and supporters along with the collective Sydney CC volunteers that make the Sydney CC a great place to be.

Sydney Tigers First Grade Women’s Report

The Sydney Tigers 1st grade team undertook a new challenge over the 2016/2017 season. The club joined forces with Northern Districts for the 50 over competition and was successful in making the grand final. In a rain affected semi final that saw the Sydney Rangers advance to the final, the club was disappointed not to see the exciting return of Elyse Perry. During the grand final campaign, the newly formed Sydney Rangers were unable to obtain the trophy but fielded a competitive team with the likes of WBBL/WNCL representatives Alyssa Healy, Lauren Smith, Rachel Haynes, Angela Reakes, Jodie Hicks, Sam Bates & Maitland Brown.

In forming this new relationship with Northern Districts, it was great to see the standard of 1st grade cricket returned to the level that was traditionally set by the likes of former NSW representatives Lisa Keightley, Martha Winch, Julie Hayes, Michelle Gozsko and Leone Coleman. Spots were competitive and players were forced to earn their opportunities. From the most recent season, there are a few players of special note. After a successful campaign with the bat and ball for Sydney Tigers, Lend Lease Breakers and Sydney Thunder, Rachael Haynes earned her selection in the Australian team, and has recently been promoted to captain. Her addition to Sydney Tigers has been instrumental in developing our youth. Maitland Brown & Lauren Smith were selected in the Shooting Stars team that toured Sri Lanka in March, and Naomi McDonald was contracted to the Lend Lease Breakers after a very successful season with the bat in grade cricket.

The T20 Tigers showed we have the talent to beat sides when we focus on the basics of the game with some big wins over some of the more fancied sides in the T20 game. Some batting performances let us down but when we fired, the results speak for themselves. Naomi McDonald led the way with the bat and ball – outstanding and went on to take out our player of the year, along with solid all round performances from Kira Churchland and Gizelle Plummer, Shannon Webb with the bat, while Emma Felsch was dangerous every time she had the ball in her hand. A number of supporting innings from Sara Bala put real respectability into the final batting scores.

The players look forward to the next season and with another season of experience, strong performing youth coming through, the future for our club looks bright.

The support of the SCG trust has been instrumental in developing our representative players, as well as supporting the women’s club. Without this support, we would not be able to facilitate the quality coaching currently provided or play on grounds such as Drummoyne, which is used domestically. The recent developments of Drummoyne oval have ensured that it is one of Australia’s leading grounds and this provides a great advantage to us players.

Greg Healy & Janine Stainer worked endlessly all season to ensure the foundations of our club were to the highest standard and this was reflected in the success of the club as a whole and the individual accolades achieved. All in all, this was the most successful season by the Women’s Sydney Tigers 1st Grade team since Greg Healy was last involved. On behalf of all the players, thank you Greg & Janine. The way you have turned our club around is phenomenal - we all look forward to continual improvement and having more players achieving higher honours whilst supporting the club to further success. Our success this year is no mystery, we could not have redeveloped the club without you.

Second Grade - Premiers

Second Grade – Minor Premiers

Back to back!!! Another big season for the tigers and another premiership for the 2’s boys. It was a dominant season for the team with 9 wins, 3 outright wins, 2 loses and a washout. The team had many players in and out over the course of the season and I would like to congratulate all the boys who played throughout the year. It’s very exciting to see the depth of talent at the tigers and I’m sure the club will only get stronger in the years to come. The success of the team cannot just be put down to the fact that they’re a group of talented cricketers, but their willingness to not worry about personal stats and do what’s best for the team. As a batting group, we had a much-improved year to last. When batting first we could set big totals consistently and when chasing we would score quickly and give ourselves the best chance for an outright or bonus point win. There were many stand out performances with the bat and every player played a major innings at some stage throughout the year. Just a few highlights with the bat were Liam Gibson’s 148* against Bankstown, Matt Pasternatsy’s 111 against Randy Pete’s and his 102* in the grand final and Angus (ton up) McKay’s 103* against St George. Other big innings came from Ryan Corns who scored 449 runs for the year, Ash Squire who scored 412 and after a bit of a tough year perseverance paid off for Tristan McDonald who topped scored in the first innings of the grand final with 78 and helped set up a massive win.


Page 55

The bowling unit were clinical and destructive all season. The consistency of the bowlers allowed us to control most matches and we rarely had a team score over 180. Once again, we had many stand out performances with the ball but a special mention to Ash Squire who took 54 wickets at an average of 11. His spin bowling in tandem with Ryan Corns who took 26 wickets would help us dry up runs and then allow us to take wickets in quick succession. Also, big congratulations to Alex Bloomfield who finished the season with 32 wickets which featured a 6 wicket haul in the semi-final and a devastating 5 wicket haul in the grand final. These boys were ably supported by Justin Rodgie, Stephen King, Nick Govers and Jimmy Usher throughout the season. A big thank you needs to go out the volunteers who helped this season. Alex Pasternatsky who scored all year and Gary & Anne King who ran drinks and prepared lunches and afternoon teas. Their help made a world of difference for us and on behalf of the team I would like to say thank you! Also, a big thank you to the coaching staff for their support all season led by Michael Haire. The team would also like to thank Michael Procajlo who would warm us up every game and offer the players support. It is greatly appreciated. Once again congratulations on an outstanding year it was very well deserved. Daniel Jacob 2nd Grade Captain

Womens 2nd Grade Report

2016 / 17 provided the Tigers with a new set of challenges. The club took the step to restructure and align the teams to the proposed new draw outlined by the SCA. This meant the Tigers had a standalone side for 50 over cricket and a combined 1st and 2nd grade side for the T20 competition. This created a competitive spirit for places in all sides, a position the club had not been in for a few seasons. Under the guidance of Janine Stainer, the training programs across the club become stronger, there was a greater attendance at organised sessions and it showed in some of our early matches. Our team performances lifted as the season progressed. Our bowling was sound but at times, we were not as successful with the bat when matches were there for us to win. However, the team learned from the experience and we all became more consistent as we entered the T20 competition. The Tigers were back and when players stood up and lead the way, our performances started to gain the necessary momentum, something we will carry into the next season.

Performances in the 50 over matches from Jess Marks, Emily Aberline and Marina More with half centuries set the season in play and with supporting contributions from Gizelle Plummer, Darshana Kannan and Stephanie Marsh the team found a greater consistency with the bat. Big wins over Universities, Gordon, Northern Districts and Penrith showed the potential the side has and with the youth of the club coming through the Brewer Shield ranks, the future looks really positive.

The bowling was outstanding with the highlights coming from young rising stars, Stephanie Marsh (6/5), Molly Perren-Leveridge (4/14 ) and Emily Aberline who performed well with the ball to finish the season with 11 wickets although she spent time on the sidelines with injury. Darshana Kannan showed her all round ability to finish the 50 over with 9 wickets. The team was gaining momentum as the season came to a close and through the mature leadership of Shannon Webb and Gizelle Plummer, a 5th placing in the standings was a creditable result.

The T20 standalone performance has been captured under the 1st Grade report authored by Angela Reakes.

Mens 3rd Grade Report

The mantra introduced to the Men’s Club a few seasons ago was “Club First, Team Second, Individual Third”. As with anything new it takes time to learn and adopt. The 2016/17 season was a tremendously successful one for the club and one I believe can be attributed to this mantra having grown and been embraced by the players. It is fitting that this report follows the successful mantra. As a club we fell agonisingly short of the Club Championship coming second to Northern Districts. While missing this prize the strength of the club’s season is evident in the number of Premiership sides. Congratulations must be given to DJ and his Second Grade side who have not only won back-to-back Premierships but have been Minor Premiers the past two seasons as well. Congratulations must also be given to Box and his Fourth Grade side who were both Premiers and Minor Premiers and to Harry and his Green Shield side who broke a 37 year drought winning the AW Green Shield. For our Third Grade side the season ended disappointingly. We began the season with the goal of being Premiers and with a mix of experience, youth and a few new faces to the club we believed we had the right balance to go all the way. Ultimately, this belief was justified having defeated the eventual Premiers Northern Districts with a bonus point during the season. In the end it was our inconsistency in performances that was our downfall. We were in fourth position at the Christmas break and looked to improve upon this in the second half of the season. We continued our strong run of form after the break. However, our five match winning run came to an end in Round 11 and from then a run of poor performances resulted in us only winning one of our final five games. This run of losses dashed our finals hopes with two rounds to play. The team always played the game hard but fair and in the right spirit and all players in the group throughout the season made telling contributions and should be proud of their efforts. All players proved at different stages during the season that they are extremely capable of doing well at this level and it was great to see a number of players play important roles in Second Grade, Fourth Grade and Green Shield Premiership winning teams. I must give particular mention to a number of outstanding individual performances: Mayank Sharma for scoring 105 against Sutherland in Round 1, Nick Taylor for scoring 100 against Sutherland in Round 1, Stephen King for his 5/29 against Manly in Round 7 and 5/32 against Randwick-Petersham in Round 6, Mark Frei for his 5/11 against Manly in Round 7 and 6/31 against Mosman in Round 4, and Dylan Bent for his 6/20 against Fairfield-Liverpool in Round 3. To those that represented Third Grade this season, thank you for what was an enjoyable season. We had a lot of fun, played some great cricket and celebrated our individual, team and club successes. I was particularly proud seeing a large number of our side supporting Second and Fourth grade in their finals series. I hope you have all taken something from this season to use in your cricketing journey. To all the family members that provided invaluable support to the players, particularly in scoring and afternoon teas, thank you. We always had brilliant support throughout the year and it makes playing the game so enjoyable when friends and family are apart of it. A special thank you has to be given to Debbie Holmes, Gary King and Rod Edwards. Thank you for managing all of the off-field tasks and letting us focus on our roles on the field. No task was ever to difficult from scoring, preparing team sheets, drinks, afternoon teas, marking wickets, snacks and entering results on mycricket. On behalf of everyone in the team, thank you. As with any sporting club there are many people behind the scenes who make the club operate. To the Board, Greg, Michael, MP, Matty, Scott, Dave, Dave, DK and all the volunteers who support our club, thank you for your tireless efforts and support. We are the envy of all the clubs in the competition and your hard work allows us as players to develop and concentrate on our roles. It’s certainly evident whenever we play at other grounds how lucky we are to play at such a well-run club. When reflecting on the season and the success it has been for the club I was excited to hear each captain believe their team has areas they need to improve upon next year. With Season 2016/17 as a base to build upon I look forward to seeing everyone next season in great anticipation for the Tigers Season 2017/18.

Mens 4th Grade Report

4th Grade Premiers 2016/17

The 4th Grade season in statistical review would show the 2016/17 summer was a fantastic step forward for the Sydney Tigers. 28 players would grace the black and gold in 4th grade this year – 12 of these players would at some stage play a role in higher grades. We scored 2641 runs and took 159 wickets, winning 12 of our 14 games in the home and away season (with 1 wash out) to finish as Minor Premiers and qualify to play off for the Reid Cup. During the season, in 17 games we bowled teams out 16 times – a plan we set ourselves for every game. We scored 200+ or chased the total set for us in 15 out of those 17 games – again a target we set ourselves this year. It was simple, it was methodical but it was effective. This consistency all summer led the Tigers to ultimate success at the end of the season.

The team started the season in a forgettable clash against Sutherland and the season looked as though it may be a long one for the Tigers. Our performance with the ball and in the field was unfortunately sub par – possibly due to some early season rust or nerves and as such we were set a formidable total (54 extras were bowled that day and basically sealed our fate). Tay Abdin led the batting innings with a well crafted 80 and when he was joined by Justin Felsch (43 at better than a run a ball) the chase was back on – however we left ourselves too much work to do late in the innings falling 48 runs short of the 260 we had been set.

Our home and away season could be broken up into 3 brackets. The first 5 games, the middle 5 and the final run home. In the first segment we would play teams 18, 9, 20, 16 and 11. This gave the Tigers the perfect start to the season. Minus the initial blemish the players got into their groove. Cameron Holmes took 15 wickets in 4 games (to be rewarded with a 3rd grade season), Tay scored another 81* and Marlon Rodrigo kicked off his year with a nice 40, 3 wickets and 55* to also score himself a 3rd grade cap. We were 4 and 1 with an outright victory and sitting 3rd on the table.

The next 5 games we would find our opposition to be a little bit tougher, but as all sportsmen know; winning is a habit and the Tigers had found a consistency which had been lacking in previous seasons. Teams 8, 6, 5, 12 and 2 would provide the same record 4 victories and 1 loss. Parker (54) and Breen (30) put on a crucial partnership in Round 6 and Jarrod Ninness returning from injury would provide the bowling spark as the Tigers would role through a tough and experienced Randwick Petersham team.


Page 71

Round 7 caused heart palpitations as we reduced Manly to 9/80 only to allow them to get to 163 and then from 1/130 we required Jarrod Ninness and Alex Rashleigh to put on 9 for the 8th wicket to drag ourselves across the line for 6 points. The game before Christmas would see a fantastic all-round performance from Tane Edmed 4/38 and 53* was ably supported by Jack Haynes (57) and Oli Meroni (40*) to chase down 200 against Sydney University.

Post Christmas, Hawkesbury at Benson’s Lane is never a fun road trip and when hampered by rain skippers often worry. A game reduced to 40 overs a side saw Jack Smith take 5/17 before the Tigers knocked off 100 only one wicket down. The final game would see 1 v 2 where Northern Districts got the better of us in a high-quality game. Neither team gave and inch and despite an unflattering scorecard Sydney wouldn’t lose much confidence from the loss. The game was just lacking an outstanding performance from middle order batsman or strike bowler to get us across the line.

The final lot of 5 games would loom as the biggest threat to our finals chances – a great last 5 would see us minor premiers, a good one could see us finish as low as 3rd and a bad finish would have us 5th or 6th. The Tigers would play teams 13, 3, 17, 4 and 6. It seemed a difficult prospect but that winning habit would kick in, in a couple of tight games to get us across the line with 4 wins and 1 draw (wash out). Sydney accounted for Bankstown as Alex Rashleigh put on a left arm swing bowling clinic taking 5/37. Bankstown could only muster 100 as Sydney put them to the sword declaring 114 ahead with Mullen 69 and Loxton 50 providing some entertaining Day 2 batting.

The next round would see Gordon at Killara, a real danger game for the Tigers and after being sent in on a damp wicket, we would wrestle our way to 8/199 from 50 overs, thanks to some good middle order batting from Andy Parker (48) and Justin Felsch (40). A poor start to the bowling innings had the skipper asking for more and after a little spark from Chris Thompsett, the juggernaut rolled on, Tom Mullen (4/23) and Nathan Breen (3/18) would chime in for 7 wickets for 41 from 20 overs to end up winning with a bonus point.

Round 13 saw two things you don’t always see in Sydney grade cricket – a full day cancelled due to extreme heat and then a hat-trick. Wests put up very little resistance as Hugh Sherriff put on the display of the season with the ball. A 10 ball spell saw him take 6/2 including a hat-trick to bowl Wests out for 33, Sydney chased the runs with a bonus point.

Round 14 saw a draw with St George, Sydney scored 227 on day 1 in a rain affected day, Rodrigo (54) and some lusty hitting from Breen (38) would get us to a defendable target. Alex Rashleigh would get us off to a flier as we had St George 3/22 (which could have been 4 or 5 if we held catches) in a 10 over stint at the end of the day. Unfortunately day 2 was washed out. The final round needs a season report of its own.

Round 15 versus Penrith. Sydney would bowl first on a great wicket and outfield. Penrith would score 226 after losing 5/5 in the last 4 overs to be bowled out inside 50 overs (a costly error). Sydney started the chase well getting to 61 without loss before regular double wickets would see them fall behind the necessary rate. Enter Andy Parker – his innings only lasted 42 balls but he struck 55 runs in a fine display of batting. His last 5 overs he managed a run rate of more than 7 and in the last 10 a run rate of over 8. The long story short saw Sydney needing 11 off the last over to win. After two dot balls Parks swung away a huge 6 over wide long on and then took a single. A wicket fell on the 5th ball of the over as Hugh Sherriff went within 2m of winning the game with a big 6.

The final ball had Parker on strike, 4 to win and Thompsett in sprinting gear. Parker swung a delivery over square leg (to the short boundary) a sweeper, scooted around and fielded the ball the boys came back for two. Instead of holding the ball the fieldsmen threw a rocket to the keeper trying to run out Parker, the half volley came off the keeper’s wrist and bounced far enough away for Thompsett to come screaming back for three. In a calamity of errors instead of taking the tie the keeper threw the ball to the bowler who misfielded it with Parker short of his crease – he had now made it and pulled a tie out of the jaws of defeat – but as the ball rebounded away from the backing up fielder, Thommo appeared under Parks’ nose for an all run four. Parks came back for the fourth and one final poor throw and misfield by the keeper saw the Tigers home for the unlikeliest of victories.

The final game victory meant Sydney finished minor premiers 17 points clear of 2nd place Northern Districts. In what loomed to be a wet March and April this was vitally important to the team.

A quarterfinal week where a record amount of rain fell across Sydney allowed no cricket to be played a Birchgrove Oval on either scheduled day of our clash against 6th placed Manly, this saw Manly drop out of the hunt, while all other 4th grade games suffered the same fate – Sydney Uni would find themselves relegated. As such Sydney would play St. George in one semi final at the home of cricket Drummoyne Oval while Northern Districts and Gordon would play out for the other spot in the Grand Final.


Page 72

Another wet week made training hard, but a sunny Saturday greeted both sides and after winning the toss, we decided to have a bowl on an absolute road. Lachy Beattie (4/21 off 12 overs) would be an absolute spearhead going through St. George’s top order and with Harry Manenti (4/18 off 14.4 overs) bowling a deadly spell through the middle, St. George were reduced to a miserly 75. Tom Mullen and Marlon Rodrigo would nurse Sydney to stumps, ahead and for only the loss of two wickets. Sunday would see a fantastic finals innings at Sydney put on a finals clinic, simply just wanting it more. Mullen would share partnerships with Rodrigo, Loxton, Manenti, Felsch and finally Parker on his way to 93 from 262 balls, only the second new ball being able to bring him undone. St. George would concede as Sydney found themselves 7/221 half way through Sunday. Sydney were bound for a Grand Final holding their top spot, meaning 4th grade would be granted a home final to win the Reid Cup.

Grand Final week saw a little less rain, but with the fixture scheduled for Drummoyne the side knew there would be cricket played regardless and as such turned up ready to play. We were greeted on the Saturday with similar conditions to the previous week and again after winning the toss we sent Gordon in to bat. This time the wicket played even fewer tricks and if it wasn’t for a couple of lucky early poles to Alex Rashleigh we may have been telling a different story. After a small partnership where it felt like Gordon were getting the upper hand Rash struck with another pair of wickets and what followed for the next 8 overs could only be described as unplayable spell of bowling. At this point Harry Manenti was introduced and immediately ‘skittled’ the Gordon skipper. Sydney had taken 3/1 and were now in complete control.

Rash would keep going and struck for his 5th and 6th wicket just before lunch the first, the opener and Gordon danger man for 30, the second former Tiger and heavy hitter Charlie Booth (27). Gordon had slumped to 7/71 at lunch. Despite a little resistance from the tail Sydney would make light work of the final 3 wickets after lunch. Tom Mullen with the first at short leg and Rash deservingly the final 2 wickets. At innings completion the Tigers were greeted with a standing ovation. Alex Rashleigh 8/49 from 17 overs the best Grand Final figures since the rebranding of the Sydney Tigers would obviously be enough for player of the match honours.

Sydney’s batting innings would start perfectly with Meroni and Scott adding 60, before losing Oli, Scott and Mullen would continue to add 63 of their own. Then in what was the poorest level of cricket we had played in the finals Sydney would lose 3/3 to end up 4/126 at stumps. Liam Scott a shining light with a classy 78. Sunday would see a more overcast day, a nervous skipper and a simple plan. Let’s bat Gordon out of the game with positive cricket. Travis Loxton and Harry Manenti would have the responsibility and despite some on and off cricket due to rain would get Sydney to an early lunch unscathed. The partnership would add 75 before Loxton would fall in the first over of the new ball, for a well-constructed 36, which included a mighty slap over point for six. Justin Felsch would get a good ball before Andy Parker would score a quick fire 24, putting on 62 with the now free scoring Harry Manenti. Sydney had moved to 7/286 with Nathan Breen 4* and Harry Manenti a game high 83*. The Gordon skipper rightly conceded just after 1.30pm on the second day. Sydney Tigers crowned Reid Cup, 4 th Grade Premiers for the 2016/17 season.

Any team that trains and plays for nearly 40 weeks a year are going to require plenty of support. To those who helped me by completing off field tasks throughout the year, you made my job of concentrating on the cricket so much easier. To Peter Rashleigh in particular, your work at this club is second to none and we are so fortunate to have you score for us week in and week out. To my father, Simon Breen, not many 4th grade teams have a person to run water, a man that organizes tea, marks the creases and jumps in wherever he is needed, thank you for all of your help.

To all the parents who lent a hand at any stage this year whether with afternoon teas, drinks or anything in between it did not go unnoticed, especially the finals assistance, never have two clubs been afforded such fantastic hospitality. To Brian Lulham who spent countless Friday afternoons down at Birchgrove to assist in the laying of covers, we thank you for this simple but demanding task, it is a gesture of a man with so much class and love for this great club.

To the coaches especially Michael Haire, Michael Procajlo. David Williams and Matt Ryan, the board and Greg Healy you create a fantastic atmosphere, an unbelievably professional club with outstanding facilities, and always challenge us to take the club forward. Thank you for you ongoing support.

I look forward to next season and hope as many of those 28 that played with me this year return for another crack in any grade for the Sydney Tigers in 2017/18.

Mens 5th Grade Report During the course of the early 2016 pre-season, I was asked by Michael Haire & Daniel Smith if I’d take on the responsibility of captaining the 5th Grade team for the upcoming season. Having never captained at “grade” level, I was excited at the prospect of the challenge and the role to play in the development of our younger Tigers in the academy & Greenshield program. With any captaincy role, it had its many challenges. However, slowly but surely I began to understand my role within the club and learning to pick my battles. It would be difficult to classify the 2016/17 season as anything other than a development season for me personally and my leadership of a group of enthusiastic young cricketers. I hope that the players learnt from their time in the team as much as I did. That’s not to say we didn’t achieve some of our objectives – as a grade team, we finished 12th overall (same position as the year before) although we were two wins better off than the previous season, this was affected by 3 washouts, and 1 nearly result (Fairfield Liverpool). I feel we played a Tigers brand of cricket, seeking to deploy aggressive tactics where possible, and overall, our fielding and bowling performances improved from 2015/16. As a result of some fine individual performances I was able to promote no less than 11 fifth grade players to play for higher honours within the club – mainly into fourth grade, many of whom would later play a part in a fourth grade title. Overall, my assessment of the team is that with further effort the core group of players within the 5th grade side hold a responsibility in developing the mental and physical aspect of the games for young and aspiring players entering through the academy and Greenshield program. With the off-field improvements by the club this will hopefully be accelerated in the coming years. It is my intention to challenge for higher honours at the back end of the season and hope to guide a Sydney Cricket Club 5th Grade Tigers team into a finals series in the near future. On Field Performance One of the key elements discussed as a club and leadership team was the style in which we hoped to execute our on field strategies during the 2016/17 season. Having played under and then taken over from the previous captain I felt a need to change the direction in which the side was heading, most importantly the way our young players assessed in match situations. Early on the encouragement of “playing your own way” was stressed to these individuals, and they duly delivered. The sides fielding standards improved, in particular - the ground fielding. Having said that, the catching would gradually improve as the season progressed. Unfortunately, the key discipline of the game which let us down as a team was our collective efforts in batting. With the exception of a couple of outstanding individual performances, we were as a group below par – which encouragingly, the players were acutely aware of. I fully expect the group regardless of 2017/18 grading to improve as they learn from their collective and individual experiences.

I’m thrilled and excited that the senior coaching staff have asked me to continue in my role as the 5th Grade captain. The reason for this is that the core group we have in the side, who are externally considered as part of the club’s leadership group. For this reason, the side is in good hands. Long standing players such Dhanuka Dissanayake, Jack Smith, Arsalan Ahmad and Damian Rapisarda are players I looked to in this past season to help develop and lead the team both in the dressing room and on the field. These players are beginning to discover themselves and their individual games which bodes well for season 2017/18. Younger players such as Rashad Rizme, Josh Bass, Mitchell Blow, Jack O’Brien and Ameer Di Miglio are the future of this club and will continue to improve with more time spent in the side. Overall, I’m excited to see what the 2017/18 season holds for all in the 5th Grade squad.

Poidevin-Gray Shield Report A youthful squad was assembled before the first round in October with the only two regular top graders in captain Matt Rodgers and vice captain Ben Manenti. Over the course of the six rounds due to injuries and representative clashes, 19 players were called up and provided with the opportunity to play in this high quality competition. While the outcome of the campaign was undoubtedly disappointing, there were a lot of lessons learned about what is needed to succeed at this level that now must be taken into the coming seasons. Given that only three players from the squad are ineligible to play in 2017-18, the future is bright as long as those key lessons are learned. The first game was against UNSW at the Village Green. Their batsmen played aggressively and only Ben Manenti (4-43) and Lachie Beattie (2-37) stemmed the tide as a formidable 257 was set for us to chase. At 1-57 in the 11th over, a good platform had been set by Rodgers (31) and Ben Manenti (25) but a dramatic collapse followed. Some face was saved by Cam Holmes and Dylan Bent showing resolve in a last wicket stand of 30. A break of almost a month before Round 2 allowed for some more match play and experience. At Hurstville, Rodgers (69) batted confidently against a well credentialed attack and gained good support from Nic Taylor and Marlon Rodrigo. After the home side, who were to be eventual finalists, raced to 2 for 100, wickets to Holmes (2-30 off 10), young Harry Manenti (2-32 off 8), Lachie Beattie (2-21) and Rodrigo (2-27) saw the score at 7-135 before the ship was steadied. The total was reached 8 down in what had been a much improved performance. The pattern of this game was followed for rounds 3, 4 and 5. Sydney batted first each time and worked hard to bat the 50 overs while posting totals between 172 and 194. In each game, wickets were taken as fight was shown in the field to place the team in a possible winning position which could not be converted into a final victory. This was frustrating for all concerned, as the effort was there but the execution and improvement weren’t evident. While the overs were batted, only two half centuries were registered with many batsmen getting starts but not going on with it. Not having a set batsman at the crease deep into the innings hurt the chances of posting over 200. Indeed, there were 14 individual scores in the 20s and 30s in the six games. The bowling effort to defend these scores was generally sound but not being able to finish the job off in the field was disappointing. At Chatswood, 16 year old Liam Scott was very impressive in scoring 53 off 84 balls against an attack that featured Hampshire and later NSW leg spinner, Mason Crane. Again Taylor had begun brightly in scoring 31. A total of 181 looked like it might have been enough when Gordon were 4-116 but Crane and his partner batted sensibly to reach the target without further loss. Coming up against an undefeated Manly when the team was finally at home at Drummoyne, 178 was reached as Travis Loxton (45), Rodgers (35) and Alex Banks (33) had some valuable partnerships. The opposition were well placed at 2-119 but a searching 20 overs from Taylor (1-20) and Rodrigo (3-31) backed up by Tom Mullen (2-32) saw Manly at 6-131. Yet the runs were reached with 7 balls left in an effort that showed great character from the understrength bowling attack. Again lots of starts were made against Bankstown- Rodgers (33), Banks (34), Taylor (24) and Rodrigo (29) the best. The pressure was applied again in the field and the opposition was 6-129 at one stage. Despite wholehearted efforts from Holmes (2-33) and Beattie (2-32) a three wicket loss resulted. In the final round the toss was lost against Campbelltown and while some catches were dropped, the team persisted in the field and took a flurry of late wickets led by Ben Manenti (4-20). With 216 to win partnerships were built by Banks (38), Ben Manenti (34) and Loxton (33) before three run outs saw the side fall 29 short of the win. Sincere thanks to the supporters among the parents who loyally followed the fortunes of the team and remained positive throughout; in Deb Holmes and Ian Wright and Harpreek we had the best scorers in the competition and their work was very much appreciated; to the grade players who gave up their time on a Sunday to support the team, the team was very grateful; special thanks to 1st grade keeper Beau McClintock, for his coaching assistance on game days; and to the ground staff at Drummoyne who got the pitch up after it being played on the previous day thank you. To Michael Haire whose help with selections, constant encouragement, presence at the games and wise counsel many, many thanks. Finally to the team. The results were not what was planned for but your attitude and effort were top class on the whole. To Matt Rodgers and Cam Holmes for whom this is their last Poidevin- Gray season, thank you for your contributions. These two are always at training, always available (even if it means cutting a family overseas


Page 86

holiday early to play in the case of Cam) and it was a pity that the Poidevin- Gray experience could not be capped off in the way you both deserved. To our Englishman, Alex Banks, the team was grateful to have you take up the keeping duties so competently and your talent with the bat was very evident in the last few rounds. Good luck and keep in touch. To the boys who return next season: I am sure that you will be able to put into practice the lessons learned, as hard as they were to take this season. Life is a journey which always presents adversity at some time. How we bounce back from it, avoid making excuses and look to improve as cricketers and people – these are the things we will be judged on ultimately. Despite the overall feelings of frustration and disappointment, it was certainly a privilege to work with you each and every one of you. Pat Rodgers

AW Green Shield Report Premiers 2016-17 - Our season journey The Planning Following a disappointing rain affected 2015-16 season club management decided to take a fresh approach to the new year with an increased focus on Green Shield preparation. Former Club GM Dave Kelly and Director of Cricket Michael Haire re-appointed Ryan Felsch as coach and appointed Sean Scott to take over as team manager. Following a number of early planning sessions and a clear directive of an increased focus on performance a decision was made to conduct trials earlier than previous seasons. This created an opportunity to host close to 100 trialists at the SCG. With a number of our grade squad on hand at the trials the challenge of reducing the numbers was a difficult one. Again, a decision was made to name a smaller squad than previous years providing trialists with greater transparency on their squad position for the coming season. In parallel a Junior Development Squad was also named to join the Green Shield Squad in a winter training program and ensure the Club is well positioned for future seasons. Pre Season Team management developed a structured winter training program to ensure no stone was left unturned in the quest to improve team performance and embed a strong club culture. This included a team induction evening and no fewer than seven training sessions through the winter commencing in early July. Post the winter program the team continued to train weekly with the grade squad before strong performances in three trials in the Sept-Oct school holidays. During the winter we were also able to execute some key recruitment and secured the services of England U/16 captain and opening batsmen Jack Haynes and Country NSW fast bowler Max Harper. Our squad was now complete and expectations were high for a strong season showing. With that the off season then presented some downside with the loss of one of our squad players due to a winter sport injury and the news that we would lose Liam Scott for four of the qualify matches in January due to further representative honours. Disrupted Start Unfortunately in cricket as we know injuries and accidents occur and our season plans were affected weeks before the start with the short term loss of opener Tay Abidin (broken thumb) and the long term season loss of strike leg spin bowler Alex Sidhu (fractured shoulder). As a result we again went in search of a replacement player and managed to secure the services of boom all-round sportsman John Connolly from the Central Coast and we also promoted young Tom Sidgreaves from our Junior Development squad following an impressive winter training and trial performance. By early December plans were finalised and the team was ready to face last season’s premiers Mosman in a final warm up match. That match proved valuable and allowed import Jack Haynes to have his first hit on Australian soil. Sydney bowled first and managed to dismiss Mosman for under 150. Perhaps an early sign of things to come and an opportunity for coach Felsch to have a good look at the bowling stocks. Sydney chased down the runs with ease with both Haynes and Scott making half centuries along the way. 2016-17 Green Shield Squad Harry Manenti (C), Jack Haynes, Lachlan Shaw, Liam Scott, Justin Felsch, Oliver Little, Tom Sidgreaves, Tom Ivers, John Connolly, Hugh Sherriff, Max Harper, Rashad Rizme, Jack O’Brien, Tay Abidin, Liam Ferrier, Alex Sidhu Our Season match by match Match Day 1 Sydney V UNSW at Ryde Oval – Match abandoned Result draw Unfortunately the rain came and a rain affected match saw both teams leave Ryde with no points after the match was abandoned and declared a draw.

Match Day 2 Sydney V St George at Drummoyne Oval – Result Sydney 10/122 defeated by St George 10/167 A solid fightback in the last 25 overs of their bowling innings enabled Sydney to bowl out St George for 167. Despite being 1/55 Sydney crashed to be all out for 122 in a disappointing performance with the bat. Highlights: Harper 4/23, Connolly 2/14, Ivers 2/10, Scott 33 Match Day 3 Campbelltown-Camden V Sydney at Raby Oval – Result Campbelltown-Camden 9/99 defeated by Sydney 3/100 (29.5 overs) BONUS POINT After losing the toss and again bowling first an inspired return to form with the ball saw Sydney reduce the home team to 9/99. Sydney chasing their first win of the season set about a measured run chase with skipper Manenti going over the top for two runs for the Tigers to win with a bonus point off the last ball of the 29th over. Highlights: Harper 3/20, Scott 4/14, Rizme 2/10 Haynes 33, Scott 35, Manenti 23 no. Match Day 4 Western Suburbs V Sydney at Pratten Park – Result Western Suburbs 9/130 defeated by Sydney 3/133 On a very slow Pratten Park outfield runs were hard to come by as Sydney’s bowling attack continued its fine form restricting the home team to meagre 130 in 50 overs. The Tigers again set about chasing down the target in calculated fashion with Jack Haynes hitting the winning runs in a fine batting display inside 40 overs. Highlights: Manenti 3/17, Rizme 2/21 Haynes 69 no. Manenti 29 Match Day 5 Parramatta V Sydney at Old Kings Oval – Result Parramatta 9/156 defeated Sydney 10/112 On the road again and in damp conditions a delayed start saw Parramatta bat first and set the visitors a respectable 9/156 in a reduced 42 over match. In the now familiar position of batting second the Tigers struggled to find their rhythm with the bat and were all out for a disappointing 112 in 36 overs. However despite the loss some key learning were taken from our visit to Old Kings, lessons that would serve well for a re-match the semi’s. Highlights: Harper 2/24, Felsch 2/27, Rizme 2/28 Manenti 28 Match Day 6 Sydney V Gordon at Drummoyne Oval – Result Sydney 8/318 defeated Gordon 10/66 BONUS POINT Following a series of inconsistent performances the young Tigers had now reached the “must win” stage of their season. With Gordon sitting above them on the table a change of fortune was required and with that Manenti won the toss and elected to bat first. Jack Haynes then set about re writing club records with a dominant batting display. Ably supported by skipper Manenti and young Ollie Little the Tigers amassed a score of 8/318. The bowlers lead by Max Harper then made quick work of the Gordon batters in a dominant fast bowling display. This game was to prove critical as the Tigers built confidence going into the last qualifying match of the season, and their second “must win” game. Importantly the Tigers secured a bonus point. Highlights: Haynes 188, Manenti 50, Little 32, Harper 6/17, Rizme 2/33 Match Day 7 Manly V Sydney at Manly Oval – Result Manly 10/85 defeated by Sydney 7/227 BONUS POINT The final qualifying game again saw Sydney take the opportunity to bat first. In a more consistent batting display the visitors amassed a respectable 7/227 with the middle order now playing with more freedom and growing in confidence. This was highlighted with a strong batting partnership from Justin Felsch and Oliver Little and followed by a masterclass in running and power hitting from Johnny Connolly and Tom Sidgreaves. The total proved too much for the Manly batsmen who were unable to cope with a fine display of spin bowling from Rizme who bagged “fivefa” in a game changing spell. The Tigers were able to leave Manly Oval with a bonus point and secure 5th place on the table. The result meant the Tigers were going to play Green Shield finals cricket for the first time in a number of years with a quarter final match against Blacktown at Joe McAleer Oval. Highlights: Haynes 32, Shaw 29, Felsch 35, Little 55, Connolly 32, Rizme 5/23, Ivers 2/9 Quarter Final Blacktown V Sydney at Joe MaAleer Oval – Result Blacktown 10/78 defeated by Sydney 5/340 Skipper Manenti won the toss and elected to bat first on a good batting deck. The Tigers batsmen then set about optimising the opportunity. Despite the early set back of losing opener Shaw, Jack Haynes and the returning Liam


Page 91

Scott set about amassing a 295 run partnership that saw Haynes notch his second century of the season (164) and Scott his first (130). In what is believed to be a Sydney CC and Green Shield record partnership. With 340 runs on the board the Tigers bowlers then continued their good form destroying the home team for 78. The young Tigers were hitting form and booked themselves a return visit to Old Kings Oval to face foes Parramatta. Highlights: Haynes 164, Scott 130, Sherriff 3/26, Manenti 3/22, Rizme 3/3 Semi Final Parramatta V Sydney at Old Kings Oval – Result Parramatta 10/88 defeated by Sydney 1/89 With a level of uncertainty on what they were going to do the Tigers lost the toss and were asked to have a bowl. Setting the tone for what was to follow fast bowler Max Harper stepped up and took a wicket with the first ball of the match. Under increasing pressure the home side struggled to recover and were bundled out for 88 by a relentless Tigers attack. Lead by spearhead Harper and supported by medium pacer Scott who took his second four wicket haul the Tigers bowling attack had established a reputation to be reckoned with. The formality of the run chase was complete with Scott chipping one over the top of mid-on for two to reach the target one wicket down in the 23rd over. The Tigers were now on a roll and had booked a Grand Final date on Australia Day with the undefeated minor premiers Northern Districts. Highlights: Harper 3/11, Manenti 2/8 Scott 4/12 Haynes 28 Shaw 24no. Scott 35no. Grand Final Northern Districts V Sydney at Mark Taylor Oval – Result Northern Districts 10/144 defeated by Sydney 10/170. Our fourth game on the road and our 5th sudden death game. An inform Tigers side full of confidence won the toss and elected to bat on what looked a tricky deck. A quick start by openers Haynes and Shaw saw the Tigers race to 0-47 in quick time with the help of some wayward bowling and fine batting. However the tables quickly turned with both Haynes and Scott returning to the sheds in quick succession as the ND’s bowlers fought back and removed our inform pair. With the run rate ticking along nicely and Shaw set at the crease partnerships were the order of the day. This was not to happen as a succession of quick wickets and dubious LBW decisions saw the Tigers middle order exposed and the Rangers gaining the upper hand. The wicket was proving tricky for batsmen to get set with most of the Tigers reaching double figures however unable to kick on for a long stay at the crease. This was until eight wickets down and in some serious trouble Tom Ivers and John Connolly came together. Their 41 run partnership was to later prove the difference between the two sides and earn Ivers a much deserved Kevin Cunningham Medal for player of the final. With the Tigers all out for 170, some inspired words came from coach Felsch and skipper Manenti in the sheds. With growing support in the stands and secure in the knowledge that no side had scored more than 167 against our inform attack the Tigers knew they were right in this match but had to come out firing against a very good Northern Districts side. As he has done all season pace spearhead Max Harper managed to prize the much needed break through and remove the inform Will Fort early and have ND’s 1/7. Wickets were then hard to come by despite an all-out effort from the Tigers quicks as resilient batting from Kirk and Fanning saw ND’s take the initiative. Just as the match was drifting away the Tigers turned to spin king Rizme who duly removed the stubborn Kirk with a fine catch by Ivers. At 2-67 the Tigers needed another quick wicket and were able to achieve this as Felsch removed Camp trapped in front LBW for 0. At 3-71 the match was in the balance. ND’s classy captain Sam Fanning looked in good touch and was starting to swing the match in ND’s favour once more, however skipper Manenti threw the ball to spearhead Harper and set the trap on the short boundary. Fanning was to take the bait and have a swing at a fast Harper short ball. The next five seconds stood still as Ollie Little positioned himself under the high ball and Ryan Felsch metres away barked “catch it catch it” and Steve O Brien again thought only of his car. Little managed to trap the ball between elbow and chest and danger man Fanning was on his way back to the sheds. Sensing a momentum change Manenti grabbed the ball and quickly removed the free hitting Rainger and in an inspired move through the ball to Sherriff. In a match changing over young quick Sherriff responded in the big moment and removed Maguire first ball LBW and followed up in the same over removing Chapman for a duck again trapped in front and beaten for speed. The game had taken a significant momentum change and swung in the Tigers favour. Their backs were up and they were going for the kill. Manenti was pulling the strings and through the ball to Scott who continued to beat the bat again and again. The score board pressure took its toll and ND’s were crumbling. Scott responded and clean bowled Alleyn. He followed this up as McCoy gloved a rising ball to Shaw who juggled but held the crucial catch. At 9/143 and still requiring 28 to win the Tigers smelt victory. Captain Manenti took the initiative and with his tail up

It has been a pleasure working with all the boys and the parent group. You all contribute to the fine club culture we have at Sydney CC. Special thanks to Bryan Ferrier and Louis Manenti for scoring, co-manager John Manenti, lunch co-ordinator Judy Shaw and all parents who contributed to our fine spread. To the Haynes, Harper and Connolly families for the miles you have covered and the commitment to your boys. Derek Ivers who flew back from the US to watch the team during the finals. Thanks to Michael Haire, Greg Healy, Dave Kelly, Neil Maxwell and our Board for their vision and support. Thanks to members of our grade squad who supported our winter training program and came along to various matches to support the boys, I know they appreciate it and in particular the support they had at the final. It inspired them and helped them lift when it was needed. Lastly, congratulations and well done Ryan Felsch, an aspiring young coach who supported the boys in both good and tough times and never stopped believing in them despite my moments of stress!

Where all great cricketers begin – Drummoyne Oval Academy


Page 99

Brewer Shield Report The season commenced in September as part of the overall registration process of the Tigers Womens playing stream. A squad of 14 girls was selected with aspirations of further individual and team improvement from the previous season. This was clearly achieved in both the 40 over and T20 formats, narrowly missing the semi finals of both after some really encouraging performances. All aspects of the girl's cricket improved due to the level of commitment made at training and greater experience in the tactics of cricket. Most importantly, the girls always played the game as a team and in the right spirit towards the opposition while having fun along the way. It was a very enjoyable and rewarding season and all involved are to be congratulated. Our captain, Grace Thomas was again selected in the CNSW U/15 side to play the national championships in Canberra. This was Grace's 2nd year and an important step in her all round cricket development. Vice Captain, Mikaela Pappou showed outstanding leadership qualities in Grace's absence and her influence was responsible for creating team momentum and a fun spirit through the season. The young Tigers had 9 players selected for the CNSW Academy squads following strong season performances and making it through the competitive trials set by the Academy coaches. Congratulations to Nell Bryson Smith (u/17); Grace Thomas (u/15); Lilly Dummett (u/15); Ahiliya Chandel (u/15) along with our youngest Tiger Cubs, Olivia Maxwell (u/13); Samira Dimelgo (u/13); Frankie Nicklin (u/13) Eva Ragg (u/13) and Grace Bryson-Smith(u/13) Major Award Winners Player of the Year: Jessica Willathgamua. This is the 2nd consecutive year Jessica has achieved the award. 40 Over Player of the Year: Grace Thomas T20 Player of the Year: Molly Perren Leveridge Coaches Player of the Year: Annabella Ciantar. There is much for the girls to achieve and the opportunities for girls to make a career in cricket are now better than they have ever been. The participation and team spirit is just as important and it is our aim to assist all players achieve what they aspire to do in a safe and welcoming environment. Special mention to our volunteers - Team Manager and coordinator, Deborah Smith; Anna Aslanidis; Jim Dummett and Peter Thomas for their constant efforts in scoring which makes the team management so much easier. Thanks to all coaches who assisted through the year and to Janine Stainer and the Operations Committee for the work being done to once again set the Tigers as a strength in the womens game, producing the next crop of representative cricketers. There is more work to do across our womens club and the planning for next season has already begun. The youth academy will be up and running in late August and our aim to assist all DCA clubs with the development of the womens game in the inner west is beaching more of a reality. Congratulations on what has been a successful season and with some determination, the Tigers Premier Cricket Teams look to be in promising shape for the future. Greg Healy Coach – Brewer Shield
