Warrandyte Cricket Club's bid for a senior premiership to cel­ebrate their !50th anniversary has strengthened enormously 'w"v"''"" a win over second-

win Warran-dyte from olthe Second Division (Wilkins Cup) ladder as top-placed South Crovdo>n were beaten.

Dytes are now just 40 runs short of ensuring a top-of­the-ladder finish and a double chance in the finals, 4-64 at stumps in pursuit of South Cwydon's 103 at stumps on the first day of their penultimate home-and-away game on Febru­aryS.

Warrandyte share top spot with South Croydon and a win on 12 would see them a game percentage points clear with one to go.

A remarkable finish to Round 12 saw all five Warrandyte sen­ior sides in the top four in their rps;ne,.-tiv<' grades.

outstanding performance has come from the Second XI, who were winless after five wunds but have won six of the

seven matches to slip into position with a nail-bit­

win over St Andrews. First XI continue a wlle:r­

coaster ride with the batting still pmviding pmblerns.

In the first game after the Christmas break, they re­stricted North Ringwood to 9-137 in a 50-over match but could manage only 115 in reply,

Adam White top scoring with 33.

In the following match against Bayswater Park, Stewart Rough saved the team from embar­rassment with a swashbuckling 62 from fewer than 40 balls as Warrandyte were dismissed for 131 in only 31 of its allocated 40 overs.

it was the bowlers who carne to the rescue, dismissing Bayswater Park for 126, Steve Bell starring with 4-27.

But it was the key match against St Andrews which has shaped the season and given the dub hopes of a premiership and promotion to the elite Chandler Shield competition.

Batting first, Wal'!'andyte fi­nally got their act together and with Adam White (86) and Steve Bell ( 49) sharing a century part­nership, they amassed a score of 239. A handy 25 by Steve Goddard in the final overs gave the score much-needed mo­mentum.

Warrandyte were forced to bowl in wet and greasy condi­tions and St Andrews were well placed at 1-91 but veteran Gerald Walshe and young left­arm off-spinner Matt Sazenis turned the game around after the tea break and St Andrews collapsed to be all out for 122.

Walshe was at his miserly

The memories flooded back as Wal'!'andyte Cricket Club celebrated their lSOth anniversary with a din­ner dance at the Park Orchards Chalet last month.

More than 230 people attended the event and together players from the 1950s through

to current era. "We had wonderful support and the night was a

huge success," said club president Robert White. "Such an celebration deserved such a big current and former players didn't let us

Many former players came hum interstate for the occasion while others caught up with teammates for the first time in 25 years or more.

White told guests of the important role the cricket club had in life in

rr;m<hrl-, over years and how it been township's development through the

settlement, the orcharding days until the day.

"Last season the club introduced a father and son team, made of boys from our junior teams and their dads. reflection, I now realise that W;~n·;.,n,rl-,;~p has been a father and son club for all of its years," he said.

"In fact, in the 20 years that we had a women's team it was a father and daughter and mother and U<iUt;HUO' club as well.

three sons are now playing senior at Warrandyte, further emphasising the

link. Ctlaj:lman introduced Stan Davis, whom he de­

as one of the most influential ligures to join the club.

Davis, who captained the club to premierships in 1979-80 and 1981-82, came down from Sydney for the night and spoke of his involvement with Warrandyte.

"I was only here for four seasons but they were among the happiest of my life as a cricketer," he said.

"There is a great sense of belonging and an un­derstanding of the role the club has in the com­munity."

One of the club's greatest modem-day players, Gerald Walshe, also spoke, referring to his years as a junior and his development into a senior player.

Current and former players and life members were then presented with a special badge to com­memorate the night.

The dub have produced a book, ISO Not Out, to mark the anniversary year and is available at the West End Newsagency, the Warrandyte Post Office

It will start at 9.30.

St Andrews were equal sec­ond with War­randyte before the game but are now a game and percentage behind, leaving Warrandyte to win one of the two remaining games to seal a top-two finish.

And to top off a great day of cricket, Warrandyte Veterans will play the last of their home and away fixtures on the small ground adjacent to the main oval.

Set 154 to win, Brendan Baker and Tim Chap­man got the bat­ting off to a sound start with an unbroken stand of 54 at the end of the first day. Baker eventually scored 52 and Greg Creber 32 in a rain-marred day which saw Warrandyte win by 30 runs.

former Victorian state players, current and former AFL foot­ballers and media personali· ties will play a senior Warrandyte team.

Barbecue lunch and snacks will be available.

been set a target of 276 by Moor­oolbark in their latest game.

The Seconds' astounding run

The curtain-miser will be a 2(}..20 match between Warrandyte players not selected in the main game. The Fourths,

received a scare when defending a big total of 7-261 against Knox City. The score was highlighted by Un­der-14 player Chris Barry, who was 83 not out, and Under-16 player Tyson Rees, who made 49.

continued with a win over St Andrews. Stewie Haworth made his highest-ever score of 73 when asked to bat at No 3 for the first time.

He was in total command of the St Andrews' attack and his innings included four towering sixes.

Adam Beardall returned to some batting form and his 51 at the end of the innings proved crucial. So too did the effort of Under-14 captain, Ayrton Oehme!, who joined Beardali at the fall of the seventh wicket with 25 runs to win.

They took the score to within five runs before Beardall was run out, but then Dehmel and !an Fahy scored the necessary

runs for victory. The diminutive young Dehrnel

has been one of the major rea­sons for the Second Xi's revitali­sation. Brought into the team two games before Christmas, the exciting young off-spinner has taken 13 wickets for little more than 100 runs and looms as an important player of the fu­ture at Warrandyte.

The Seconds were well placed on February 5 to strengthen their clalm to a finals spot by scoring 210 against South Croy­don, Tyson Brent the star with 90.

The Third XI held down sec­ond place with a convincing win over South Warrandyte.

But Knox City got to within 21 runs as one of their players blasted 155, including 15 sixes.

In the !irst game after Christ­mas, Vin Pettigrove scored 101 and Tyson Rees 59 as Warrandyte scored a convinc­ing win over Croydon Ranges.

The Fourths amassed 320 at their latest outing.

The Fifth XI were well beaten by Mooroolbark but are still a big chance of playing off in the finals.

Mark Challen, the manager of the local Bendigo Community Bank, wasn't intending to bat or bowl when he turned up to Warrandyte Cricket Club practice recently. He made an appearance to present a sponsorship cheque of $1000 to dub president Robert White.

"We are pleased to be involved with a local dub that is doing so much for the community," Challen said. "We are particularly pleased to be part of Warrandyte Cricket Club's !50th anniver­sary celebrations."

White thanked Challen and the bank lor their generous sponsor­ship and hoped it would be the start of a long and healthy rela­tionship between the two organisations.

"Running a club of our size, which includes five senior teams, five junior teams and two veterans teams, is a difficult task and sponsorships like that from the Bendigo Community Bank help to ease the pressure," he said.

He also thanked the club's other sponsors, Warrandyte Travel, Club Warrandyte, The Soil Shop, Sheen Panels and Chapman Gardiner Pty Ltd, who had given valuable support throughout the year.

After a strong win over Warranwood in the first game after Christmas, only Chris Chapman, with 32, and Matt Elliott (28) could get among the runs against the strong Mooroolbark side.

They were in trouble again on February 5, managing only 123 against Wantima, who were 2-60 in reply.

Warrandyte's sporting commu­nity was deeply saddened last month by the death of Norman Carrington.

Mr Carrington, 55, was a tire­less worker for Warrandyte Football Club over several sea­sons. He was secretary in 1990-91 and in the 1993 premiership year and treasurer from 1998-2000.

Lawrie Sloan, the Bloods' longest-serving president, de­scribed Mr Carrington as the best club secretary of his expe­rience.

"Norm had been secretary under the presidency of Colin Bawden in 1990-91 and agreed to take it on again when I was president again in 1993," he said.

"He did an outstanding job." Mr Carrington is survived by

his wife Sue and sons Jason and Brad.

The December issue of the Di· erroneously reported that

one Warrandyte Netball team- the Open BEagles

were successful in the Doncaster and District spring grand finals on December 4.

There were in fact two Warrandyte premier teams, the Open A Woodies defeating DYC by 10 goals in their grand final.

The triumphant Woodies, coached by Lorraine Green, were Jo Bolton, Amy Green, Tahlia Hoegel, Kathy Kinnear, Brooke Lashford, Sacha Poly, Tanya Puglia and Lauren Reid.

Warrandyte's new winter sea­son will start on Saturday, March 12 and training will be­gin in the next few weeks (play­ers will be contacted).

Training nights are: Under 17s Monday; Under-ISs Tuesday; Under-13s Wednesday; Under­lis Thursday. The Netball Skills Program for learners will be held on Fridays.

Warrandyte Diary (February 2005)

Warrandyte Cricket Club's hopes of winning a First XI pre­miership to celebrate their !50th anniversary season are on a knife edge when they meet St Andrews on March 12-13 in the Ringwood District Cricket Association Second Division preliminary final.

A loss will see the end of their season but a win will enable them to take on North Ring­wood and avenge their second semi-final defeat.

After finishing the season a game and a half clear on top of the ladder, Warrandyte were clear favorites to win the semi­final and earn automatic entry into the grand final.

But a poor performance with the bat in difficult, wet condi­tions saw them dismissed for 144 and North Ringwood were able to overtake the total for the loss of only five wickets.

Warrandyte will have three senior teams in action on the weekend with the Second XI's fairytale continuing after de­feating St Andrews in the first semi-final while the Third XI will play in the preliminary final af­ter losing the second semi-final to North Croydon.

The Fourth XI booked their grand final berth with a compre­hensive win while the Fifth XI have been eliminated, losing the first semi-final, also to

North Croydon. The First XI were in good form coming into the finals, coming off an out­right win over premiership hopefuls South Croydon and then easily accounting for Montrose in the final home-and­away game.

Batting first at home against North Ringwood, Tyson Brent and Jason Graf got the team off to a slow but steady start until both Graf and Adam White fell cheaply, leaving the score at 3-47.

A number of rain interrup­tions made it difficult for the batsmen to get a rhythm in their game and when Brent fell for 30, Warrandyte needed to steady.

But again the rain forced play­ers from the field and when the first day ended, the Dytes were 4-96 with 26 overs to bat and the likelihood of a score close to 200 beckoned.

But as has been the case too often this season, quick wickets fell, leaving Warrandyte at 9-144.

The experienced North Ringwood side had little trou­ble achieving the total although Matthew Sazenis was able to

Our super season Warrandyte set a new club record with an outstanding finish to the 2004-05 Ringwood District season.

For the first time in more than 20 years the club fielded five sen­ior teams and all finished in the four, with the Firsts, Thirds and Fourths on top.

The club's three junior teams- Under-16, Under-14 and Under-12- all finished in the top four.

Unfortunately, the Under-16s and Under-14s were knocked out in their respective finals, but the Under 12s will play off for a pre­miership on March 12-13.

The club have already secured one premiership with the Over 40s Veterans team defeating North Ringwood in the Third Divi­sion grand final.

Warrandyte dismissed North Ringwood for 126, with Steve Pascoe taking a miserly 2-8 from his allotted six overs. Opener David Stickles scored a patient 38 to help guide Warrandyte to a thrilling last-over victory.

By LEE TINDALIE Batting failures which had plagued them all season saw South Warrandyte Cricket Club bow out of the RDCA Chandler Shield finals race last month.

The Hawks had painted them­selves into a corner with two rounds to go, needing away wins over top-four sides War­ranwood and East Ringwood and other results to fall their way if they were to see finals action.

But they lost both matches, sealing their own fate with a dismal batting performace at Warranwood on February 12. Set just 145 for victory after sending down their full quota of 80 tight, disciplined overs, South Warrandyte could muster only 102.

stall the run to victory with three wickets.

Despite the unexpected loss, Warrandyte still remain within sight of their premiership goal and boast a strong finals record against St Andrews.

The Seconds' remarkable run towards the premiership con­tinues following a thrilling semi­final win.

After the first five rounds, this team were on the bottom with­out a win, but they have won every match since the last round before Christmas.

Each match has been an elimi­nation final as a loss at any stage would have seen them drop out of the finals race.

Like the senior team, the Sec­onds batted through a series of rain delays and were precari­ously placed at 7-84 at the end of the first day. But a 50-run partnership for the ninth wicket by Adam Beardal! and Under-14 player Ayrton Oehme! took them to a creditable 153.

Beardall continued his re­markable performance by tak­ing 5-16 with his leg spin while veteran Robert White opened the bowling with his off spin and took 4-30 off 17 consecutive overs to dismiss St Andrews for 84.

The Third XI, after taking top position on the ladder, could manage only 86 against North Croydon, with Nathan Aly's 30 the stand-out score.

The bowlers fought back, with John Prangley taking three wickets, and North Croydon passed the Warrandyte score for the loss of eight wickets.

The Fourth XI, made up of fa­thers and sons from the junior teams, also finished on top and went straight into the grand fi­nal with a comfortable win over Montrose.

Ken Miller was the best with the ball, taking five wickets, while Under-14 batsman Chris Barry was undefeated on 63 as he led the team to victory.

The Fifth XI were beaten in the last over by North Croydon. Dyl­an Clements was the best of the Warrandyte batsmen, with 25.

Warranwood had laid the foundation for a big score with a 60-run opening partnership, but lost their next five wickets for the addition of just 35 runs, three wickets falling with score stalled on 95.

Steve Garrett: 'Just a matter of taking off'

Captain-coach Steve Garrett bowled 26.3 overs for 4-44 and Chad Rogers captured 2-24 in a miserly 21-over performance.

"One thing I've learned from this season in Chandler Shield is that if you bowl consistently on off stump you can limit most opposing sides to somewhere around 150," Garret said later.

But the Hawks were never able to mount any sort of a run chase, their batsmen forming a procession back to the pavilion as wickets fell at 11, 21, 24, 26, 33, 48, 50, 69, 85 and 102.

Garrett, batting down the or-

der, topscored with 35, Craig Smith (14) and David Horwood (12) the only other batsmen to reach double figures.

South were set the more daunting target of 195 by East Ringwood, a target which would have been very achievable but for 40 sundries.

The Hawks gambled by hav­ing wicketkeeper John Eldridge up at the stumps to the fast bowlers and it paid off to the extent of producing a spectacu­lar leg-side stumping- "One of the best I've ever seen," said Garrett.

But it also contributed to 16 byes to go with 18leg byes and in the final analysis the sun­dries tally cost South Warrandyte the game.

Rogers was by far the best of the Hawks' bowlers, collecting 5-54 from 25.4 overs, Garrett taking 2-34 off 23 and Scott Brasher 2-43 from 19.

It was a considerably more respectable batting perform­ance by South this time, Brasher topscoring with 61 and Eldridge and Horwood contrib­uting 24 and 21 respectively as the Hawks fell just 23 runs shy.

Warrandyte Cricket Club's !50th anniversary celebrations were completed last month with a special match against an Invitational XI that in­cluded former Victorian state cricketers, AFL footballers and media personalities.

Two Melbourne players from the centenary game also attended.

"We won the match but the important thing was seeing so many people attend and take part in what was a truly memorable day," said Warrandyte president Robert White.

They are Colin McDonald, who was to go on and play Test cricket for Australia, and Ian Huntington, who was to later captain the Mel­bourne District side.

Apart from the invitational game, a 20-20 match made up of a mixture of senior and jun­ior players was organised as a curtain-raiser while on the No 2 Warrandyte oval the local Vet­erans completed the final home-and-away game against Wantirna.

To mark the occasion, the six Warrandyte players -Colin and Doug Chapman, Jim Harris, Geoff Day and Doug and Brian Fry- were pre­sented with cricket club shirts with special num­bers.

The invitational game was similar to the match played in 1955 when Warrandyte celebrated their centenary with a game against a Mel­bourne Cricket Club XI.

Each senior player is now credited with a number to indicate the order in which he was selected in the First XI since 1950. The late Allan Chapman has No 1, Jim Harris has No 2 and Colin Chapman No 3.

"It was wonderful to have these men come along and be part of our special day," said White.

The highlight of the day was the introduction to the large crowd who gathered for afternoon tea of six of the men who played for Warrandyte in that game 50 years ago.

"Warrandyte Cricket club have a long and proud tradition and it is important for the play­ers of today to reflect on the efforts and deeds of some of the pioneers."

The extreme makeover of their Colman Park clubrooms has made presentation night on April 2 an historic one for the South Warrandyte Hawks.

"We've waited 75 years to have our presentation night in our clubrooms so make sure you make it," says the invitation.

It's a seven o'clock start and the cost of $22 a head includes a fully-catered dinner and entertainment by Peter Quintert. Drinks are at bar prices (half that during a 9-10pm happy hour).

Barry and Veronica Williams are taking bookings on 9876 4020.

East Ringwood's Daniel Carratelli was the scourge of the mid-lower order, capturing 4-13 off 13 overs.

Garret said there was no doubt the batting had let the Hawks down in 2004-05. "The ability is certainly there but the patience and maybe the pride in achivement were not." he said.

The club had, however, "moved forward" from the pre­vious season.

"I'd describe it as like stand­ing on the end of a springboard - it's just a matter of taking off," he said.

"It's up to the boys to do the off-season and come out fight­ing in 2005-06.

"We hope to retain all our cur­rent players for next season and add a few recruits."

The club have given young first-year coach Garrett a vote of confidence by reappointing him for the next campaign. As­sistant coach and vice-captain Rogers, who had an excellent season with both bat and bali, has also been reappointed.

Club president Barry

Williams, who will stand for a third term, agreed that batting had been the First XI's downfall. "We are pursuing two or three good bats to rectify that for next season," he said.

'We we will also be implement­ing a policy of stocking the Sec­ond XI with young players -we're talking here of 17 to, say, 23-year-olds- to prepare them for entry into the First XL

"Despite missing the finals we're reasonably happy with our season," Williams said. "If

a couple of close ones had gone our way we'd have made it. We've already set our sights on next season's finals."

Despite the disappointments of the First and Second XIs -the Twos recorded an outright defeat and a big win in their closing fixtures - South Warrandyte saw both the Thirds and Fourths into the fi­nals.

The Thirds found top form with the bat, posting 303 against Croydon and surviving a spirited run chase to win by 13 runs, and amassing 9-386 to very easily account lor Mooroolbark.

Top-order batsman Stuart Bat­ten was the star of those victo­ries with 97 and 109 respec­tively.

The Fourths were also con­vincing winners over Mooroolbark in the final round, all-rounder Stefan Buljubasich turning in an outstanding per­formance with 40 runs and six wickets.
