CHAIRMAN’S REPORT

Merewether continued its domination of Newcastle and NSW Country cricket with majorpremierships in First and Second grade, success in the Club Championship and victory in the SCG Cupfinal. The Merewether team of the last decade rightfully sits with the Hamilton teams of the 1950’sand 60’s and the Belmont and Charlestown teams of the 1980’s and 90’s as the most successful inthe history of Newcastle cricket. It is a credit to the clubs strong on-field and off-field leadership.

Merewether Final Winner

The SCG Cup final between Merewether and Hamilton- Wickham was one the best games of cricketI have seen at any level with the result in the balance to the final over. The game was a tremendousshowcase of the talent we have within Newcastle cricket and with strong crowd support was a fittingtribute in what was probably the last season ofthe SCG Cup – a competition dominated byNewcastle clubs in its history.

Rhys Hanlon Hamilton

At a representative level, Newcastle started theseason well with a solid victory in the StateChallenge against the Sydney one daychampions Northern Districts. Joseph Price wasnamed player of the match with a strong allround performance. The Newcastle team thendominated the Northern pool of the NSW Country championships in Ballina setting up a matchagainst Western Zone in the final. Unfortunately this match was washed out and rescheduled to be

played later in the season. In the replayed fixture Western Zone were far too good and crowneddeserved winners of the NSW Country trophy. The Ewin-Tenant Shield match against Illawarra wasalso interrupted by rain with Newcastle in a strong position with over 300 runs on the board whenthe match was abandoned.

In the under-aged competitions, the highlight was success in the Under 17 age group. This resultaugers well for the future of Newcastle cricket and congratulations to the players, coaches andmanagement of the Under 17 team that won their State Championships in Raymond Terrace. TheColts team had a similar result to the senior team finishing second to Central North Zone in the StateChampionships. The combined results of all teams in all NSW Country male competitions meant thatNewcastle won the first ever NSW Country Club Championship – known as the Hogg Silver Shield.

The Newcastle Steel entered their second season of the SCA T20 competition full of confidencefollowing a promising first season. The campaign started well with a good win over Gordon, but closelosses to St George and Easts and a poor game against University of NSW ended the Steels season ona disappointing note. There is no doubt Newcastle has the talent to succeed at this level but moreconsistency is needed. Thank you to all the coaches and managers who assisted with therepresentative program in what was a long and diverse season. Special thanks to bus driver and scorerPaul Wenta who was present for every Senior and Colts representative match.

Off the field, the employment of Ivan Spyrdz as Newcastle crickets inaugural Executive Office was alandmark appointment. Full time administration brings cricket into line with all other sports in theregion and will be the catalyst for the unification of the various Newcastle cricket associations. Oneadministration body will provide cricket in Newcastle with the platform for structured managementand consistent growth. Cricket NSW showed further confidence in Newcastle cricket by schedulingthe first Sheffield Shield match in Newcastle for many seasons. The match was well supported andthe players appreciated the playing conditions provided by the curation staff at No. 1 Sports Ground.We thank CNSW for its continued support and investment in Newcastle cricket.

Thank you to the major sponsors of the NDCA whose support is appreciated – CBA, Kingsgrove Sports,Kookaburra, and the DeCourcy Club. The NDCA is also appreciative of the extensive media coveragegiven to cricket and thanks the following media outlets – Newcastle Herald, NBN TV, ABC Radio TheNewcastle and Lake Macquarie Post and BarTV.

Thank you to all the volunteers who assisted during the season and to members of the NDCAManagement Committee for their time, effort and support. In particular, thank you to Peter Kembreyand his committee who were responsible for the reforms relating to the player Code of Conduct andthe judiciary process. This process in now simplified and transparent and was given a positiveendorsement by players and umpires. Also, congratulations to the NDCUA who have worked hard toattract new umpires to the game and have been able to stand umpires deep into the lower gradecompetitions – something appreciated by all lower grade players.

Thank you also to my hard working NDCA colleagues – Deputy Chairman Jeremy Tombleson, GradeAdministrator Alan Nichols, Financial Controller Paul Robertson, Tim Caimakamis, Aaron Gray, PeterKembrey and Secretary Royce McCormack who shoulders the day to running of association matters.

In conclusion, Newcastle cricket clubs need to be continually mindful of the future structure of itscompetitions. Management of the competitions treads a line between ensuring growth in

participation in cricket and providing competitive cricket for the top players. The trend in lop-sidedresults in recent seasons would suggest that the pendulum has swung towards participation and lessconsideration to the competiveness of the top grade.

Looking forward to another successful season in 2015-16

P. H. (Paul) Marjoribanks(Chairman – NDCA)

GAME DEVELOPMENT REPORT

Executive Summary

Cricket NSW Game Development continues to invest strongly in the future of the game by deliveringprograms in schools and the community to inspire the next generation of fans and players.The 2014/15 season strategy focused on sustainability, with an increased focus on club pathwayprograms. To support this strategy, Game Development invested in 21 full-time DevelopmentManagers and 4 Development Leaders strategically placed in Hubs (Newcastle, ACT, Sydney Harbourand GWS).

Principles to Evolve Game Development

1. Controlling First Impressions – the first experience that a child has in cricket is critical to theirongoing involvement in the game. CNSW will deliver the programs for the 5-10 age groupswith volunteers taking over above this point.

2. From Sampling to Sustainability – whilst maintaining our impressive school participationnumbers it is critical we move focus to players and environments.

3. Bridging the gap between paid and unpaid administrators – being more connected to andinfluencing the club system.

4. From tracksuits to business suits – shifting the role of the regional cricket manager towardsacting as a ‘CEO’ for cricket in their region.

5. A Sport for All – Introducing new markets (female/multicultural/social cricket) to the game.6. Face of the game – Game Development staff to be recognised by internal and external

stakeholders as the key cricket contacts in their region (especially with government).

Cricket Participation 2014-15

Participation across the state rose 12.89% in the season 2014/15 to 354,955. As outlined in Figure 1,this growth can be attributed to a sharp rise in the number of children participating in Cricket NSWmanaged school programs to support the transition to club cricket.Key insights include:-

Increased accuracy in data collection methods for this reporting year. Growth in the schools segment was in the programs Cricket NSW has direct influence over

(T20 Blast School Cup events, MILO in2CRICKET Skills and School Ambassador programs). Club growth was attributed to the increased uptake of MyCricket in regional centres, leading

to increased accuracy and improved data collection methods.

Figure 1: 2-Year comparative participation analysis across NSW/ACT

Impact of Participation Programs in the Hunter Region

The Hunter Region encompasses cricket associations and clubs in Newcastle and the Hunter Valley.Participation rose 26.9% in the season 2014/15 to 26,353. As outlined in Figure 2, this was achievedthrough an increased delivery Cricket NSW managed programs to support the transition to clubcricket.

Key insights include:-

Significant growth across the schools segment reflects the continued investment Cricket NSWis making to support the transition from the schools to clubs.

Teachers registering as School Ambassadors increased cricket sessions in the schoolyard. T20 Blast School Cups were boosted by the inclusion of a number of intra-school events. A Private Provider program was initiated to increase the field-force and professional delivery. Growth in Indoor Cricket was attributed to accuracy in data collection methods and the

evolving space of on-site cricket delivery for schools.

Cricket World Cup promotions conducted before and after Christmas and involved activationsfor school students and the local community in Newcastle, Cessnock and Singleton.

4,600 Primary School (years 3-6) and High School (year 7-8) Students took part in MILO T20Blast School Cup events across the Hunter.

Singleton JCA established the first T20 Blast Centre in the region and achieved an immediate25% growth in participation.

100% compliance has been achieved in the use of MyCricket to administer competitions. A MyCricket administration seminar had the highest attendance of any run across the state. More than 70 volunteers participated in Level One Coaching Courses. A Winter Development Squad 8-week pilot program was conducted for junior players at

Charlestown Indoor Sports. Activations around the Sheffield Shield match between NSW and Western Australia included

During March and April, a Cricket Australia facility pilot program involving detailed site auditing ofinfrastructure at 253 Hunter cricket grounds was undertaken. Detail collected included the numberand quality of pitches, practice nets, change rooms and spectator facilities including photos. The audittested i-pad data collection and program compatibility with a report presented to the CA Board. As

one of the first regions audited, the Hunter will have up-to-date facility data captured for use in grantapplications and representations to local government.

Closing Remarks

As well as introducing children to cricket, the CNSW Game Development Department is evolving itsprograms to provide five clear outcomes:

Articulate a clear participation next step (to junior club cricket) Build a database of contacts to continue the engagement process Create fans by connecting participants with the BBL sides Provide media opportunities to change the perceptions of cricket Raise revenue for reinvestment in the game

This blueprint will ensure more players, fans and more support for our cricketing community.

Volunteers continue to be the driving force behind associations and clubs across the Huntercontributing hundreds of hours through the summer and winter to complete tasks that often gounnoticed and without acknowledgement. On behalf of Cricket NSW I wish to extend my appreciationto all who volunteered their time during the season to make cricket happen in the Hunter Region.

In conclusion, thank you to everyone who supported our development initiatives during 2014-15 andI’m looking forward to supporting associations to grow Cricket in their region in the future.

NSW NEWCASTLE ZONE ACADEMY REPORT

The NSW Academy program has been running in its current format for the past two (2) years. Thegoal of the program is to develop cricketer’s skills, knowledge and fitness to enable them to representNSW in firstly under age competitions and ultimately in the NSW men’s first XI, Sydney Sixes orThunder sides. The 2014-15 season was also the first season Cricket Australia had allowed a new team(ACT / NSW Country) into the Under 17 and U19 national carnival. This would be picked from origin,allowing Sydney based players that originally come from the country to play for ACT/NSW Country,meaning the NSW Metro squad was only city based. This was different from previous seasons whereACT would invite players from NSW Country to play for the ACT in these carnivals.

The coaching staff comprised of the following structure:

Head Coach and Bowling Coach– Mark Cameron Head Batting Coach – Patrick Darwin Fielding and Wicket Keeping Coach – Shane Burley

Regional / Assistant Coach – Neil McDonald Assistant Coach – Mark Curry

The 2014-15 squad was selected using the Newcastle Zone Junior selection committee and the agerange selected was U15 to U19 with sixteen (16) players from eight (8) different clubs accepting theselection. The squad was quite strong, especially in the fast and spin bowling departments. The 2014-15 season was a pre-season based program that incorporated nineteen (19) sessions that rangedfrom strength and conditioning sessions, skills and drill based sessions, net sessions and gamescenario sessions. The program was divided into three major cycles:

1. Basic Skills and Strength and Conditioning, This involved:

a. Basic technical drills and advice was provided to the squad. The focus was on buildinga repeatable technique that would be called up on under pressure

b. Basic Cardiovascular fitness and an introduction to preventative rehabilitation (pre-hab) exercises designed to improve mobility and stability in key joints in the body inan attempt to reduce injury risk.

2. General Preparation and transition of skills, this involved:

a. A continuation of the basic skills outlined above, albeit under pressure and net basedsessions, where the focus was on applying the techniques developed in the first cycle

b. Slightly more specific strength and conditioning. Interval based running was used aswell as an increase in the strength program to include position specific exercises

3. Specific prep and competition based skills, this included:a. Competition based net sessions, where the focus was the battle between bat and ball,

technical advice was still provided where required, however, the focus was mindsetand game planning

b. Game Situations. Games would be played in an undercover area where, the battingside would be given a target with a specific set of rules as dictated by the coaches.These rules provided the ability to control which skills would be required to win thegames. These games were very competitive in nature and allowed the coaching staffto see what happens to the players under pressure and enable accelerated learningfrom mistakes.

c. The strength and conditioning phase was minimised at this stage, however, pre-haband short interval based running sessions were conducted as a part of the skillssessions.

The program was successful in the fact we had three (Griffin Lea and Peter McCredie – U17’s, BenBalcomb – U19’s) players representing ACT / NSW Country and the U17’s Squad winning the U17Country Carnival, as lead by Neil McDonald. This was particularly pleasing given our success in theKookaburra cup in the previous season. Also of note was the selection of four academy players (BenBalcomb, Bayley McGill, Jayden Park, Courtney Moulton) into the Newcastle Men’s Representativesquad and ultimately the side that played against Sydney first grade sides and in the NSW Country

Carnival. This is important as it gives young players with the desire and ability to play for NSW achance to be seen by Sydney Grade clubs and possibly NSW Selectors.

Of a less pleasing note was the behaviour of some of the Newcastle U19’s players, who unfortunatelydid not put the best interests of Newcastle and NSW Cricket first. It should be noted that Cricket NSWand therefore the NSW Academy did not view this situation very lightly and there was action takento those involved.

It should also be noted, the need for the Newcastle Zone to continue to review its priority in regardsto development of training facilities in Newcastle. For the Newcastle Zone to improve itsdevelopment of NSW and Test Cricketers, first class facilities are required.

In summary, the 2014-15 NSW Academy program was successful due to the number of playersrepresenting ACT / NSW Country in various age groups, selection of players in Newcastle Men’srepresentative teams and success in the U17’s Country Competition.

Yours sincerely,

M A (Mark) Cameron

NSW Academy Coach - Newcastle

REPRESENTATIVE CRICKET 2014 -2015After putting in a strong pre-season under Coach Mark Cameron the season kicked off with two trialgames against ACT at Ron Hill Oval. This was a productive pre-season hit out with a 50 over game onthe Saturday and a T20 game on the Sunday.

State Challenge vs Northern Districts

As winners of last year’s country final Newcastle took on the winners of the previous year’s Sydneyone day competition, Northern Districts on 21st September at Mark Taylor Oval. This game saw someyoung talent make their senior Newcastle debuts in Ben Balcomb, Bayley McGill and Jayden Park.

Newcastle bowled well to bowl out NDs for 191 off 47 overs with 3 wickets to Bayley McGill and 2 toeach of Mark Littlewood, Joey Price and Jayden Park. Newcastle chased the total 7 down in the 39 th

over with contributions from Joey Price 46 and Jeff Goninan 36 not out.

SCA Kingsgrove Sports T20 cup

After a solid debut the previous year Newcastle kicked off it’s 2014/15 T20 campaign with a doubleheader at Hurstville Oval on the 12th of October under the leadership of Captain Mark Littlewood andplayer coach Mark Cameron. The first game was against Gordon and Newcastle restricted them to8/155 off their 20 overs after Gordon had won the toss and batted, with Sam Webber leading the

bowling with 2/13 off 4 overs. In a tight run chase Newcastle prevailed with 3 balls to spare the maincontributors being Sam Webber 46 off 26 balls (3x4s/3x6s) and a very calm and controlled inningsfrom Mark Littlewood with 29 off 24 to guide the team home.

Game 2 of the double header was against eventual completion winners St George. St George wonthe toss and sent Newcastle in and followed up with a tidy bowling display to put Newcastle underearly pressure. Some powerful late innings hitting from Jeff Goninan with 42 of 23 with 5x6s gotNewcastle to 8/146 off 20 overs. Newcastle fought hard but St George eventually passed the totalwith 1 over left and 4 wickets down. Nick Foster bowled well with 3/21 off his 4 overs.

The following weekend saw the team travel to Sydney foranother double header with the first game against a strongEastern Suburbs team at Waverly Oval. The Dolphins wonthe toss and elected to bat with the strong openingcombination of international’s Nick Maddison and PeterNevill. With a very short boundary on one side, Newcastlebowled well to keep the Dolphins line up to 4/147 off 20overs. In reply Newcastle kicked off the innings with a strong87 run opening partnership between Mark Dries 46 off 40and Greg Hunt 39 off 41, but when they fell some tightbowling saw Newcastle fall 6 runs short of the total.

UNDER 17 NORTHERN CARNIVAL

Executive Summary

The Newcastle team included:- Harry Macansh (Captain)(NC), Jonty Dicks (CB), Liam Dwyer (HW),Quinn Fowler (NC), Logan Johnson (CB), Griffin Lea (TW), Peter McCredie (TW), Jake Radford (BE),Jason Sangha (WA), Andrew Somerville (TW), Jordy Toby (HW), Ryan Van Kemenade (NC).

The win was very much a team effort with all players contributing to the result. Harry Macanshprovided astute leadership and he was backed up by some outstanding efforts in the field. Specialthanks to Assistant Coach Greg Hunt and support coaches Mark Cameron and Mark Curry for theirpre-carnival and match-day expertise while the organizational skills of Manager Aaron Gray ensuredthe players were organized and focused on their task.

Match Reviews

Newcastle posted a solid total in the first game against North Coastal with Jake Radford, Macanshand opener Logan Johnson the main contributors. Newcastle’s pace bowlers then took charge withaccurate stump-to-stump deliveries on a wearing pitch to roll North Coastal for 145.

Newcastle’s next opponent was neighbouringCentral Coast. Once again Newcastle calledsuccessfully and batted with more batsmenstepping up. Half centuries to Jordy Toby andPeter McCredie set the tone for a large total atthe end of their 50 overs. Newcastle’s pacebowlers backed up their efforts of the previousday to destroy the Central Coast innings,eventually winning by 94 runs.

In the round 3 match, Central North batted firstwith Newcastle needing a win to claim the U17title. The Central North boys were in troublethroughout their innings with the pace of

Fowler and leg-spin of McCredie backed up by enthusiastic fielding. Newcastle found themselves inearly trouble (3/20) chasing the 128 required but lost only one further wicket in reaching the total.

Match Results

Round 1 - Newcastle 7-196 (Radford 58, Macansh 34, Johnson 30) def.

BRADMAN CUP

Executive Summary

The NSW Country Cricket Association U16 Bradman Cup carnival was hosted for the second year byCentral North in two pools played in Maitland and Singleton from 9-12 January 2015. Newcastle wasdrawn in a pool with Southern Zone, Central North and Western playing in Singleton. Heavy rainaffected the carnival with the first two rounds being played on synthetic pitches. The weathereventually cleared allowing round three to be played on turf.

The Newcastle squad included:- Jason Sangha (WA) Captain, Adam Buchmasser (TW), Joe Hart (TW),Luke Hitchcock (TW), Griffin Lea (TW), Peter McCredie (TW), Zac McGuigan (Me), Thomas McKendry(Me), Sam O’Sullivan (NC), Ben Roberts (TW), Andrew Somerville (TW), Jordy Toby (HW).

The experienced Lyle McGuigan and Jed Dickson joined me for the carnival while Greg Hunt assistedwith pre-carnival training sessions. All three played their part in ensuring the team was well-preparedand ready-to-play on match day. Special thanks to Zone Academy Coach Mark Cameron for his workwith individual players in the Cricket NSW Academy program and assisting with team selection. Myappreciation to Jason McKendry for his efforts in arranging clothing, transport and general supportfor the team.

Match Reviews

The carnival followed a similar pattern to the previous season with Newcastle winning their firstmatch against Western Zone. Chasing Western’s 192, Jason Sangha and Jordy Toby played very wellto steer the team home by 4 wickets.Round 2 saw several fielding errors allow Southern Zone to post 190. Newcastle was in control of therun-chase only to have batsmen give their wicket away at vital times in a poor display to lose by 58runs. Ben Roberts and Luke Hitchcock played lone hands as wickets fell around them.Newcastle returned to the winners circle with an emphatic routing of Central North in round 3 in theonly game played on turf during the week. An incredible match proving that if batsmen are willing tobe patient and play to the conditions, a competitive score can be posted. Newcastle won the toss andbatted on a difficult pitch. A very slow outfield owing to the rain restricted the Newcastle total to 82from 50 overs. Skipper Jason Sangha played a patient knock while wicket-keeper Adam Buchmassertop-scored with 24 and Griffin Lea added 19. Central North lost two early wickets then collapsedunder some sustained fast bowling from Lea and Somerville backed up by O’Sullivan and McGuiganto lose 6 wickets for 7 runs. The final two wickets added 5 and the innings ended at 20 after only 16overs.The below-par performance against Southern Zone cost Newcastle dearly finishing 2nd in the pool andmissing out on playing in the Final by 2 points. On reflection, playing on synthetic pitches in the firsttwo rounds neutralized any advantage Newcastle’s pace bowling presented to the other teams.

Match Results

Round 1 - Newcastle 6-195 (Sangha 85, Toby 40) def. Western 9-192 (Lea 3/26, McKendry 2/27,McGuigan 2/29) by 4 wickets.Round 2 – Southern 190 (Somerville 2/28) def. Newcastle 132 (Roberts 35, Hitchcock 32) by 58 runs.Round 3 – Newcastle 82 (Buchmasser 24) def. Central North 20 (Lea 3/9, O’Sullivan 2/4, Somerville2/6) by 62 runs.

Five (5) players were selected for the NSW State Challenge matches including Griffin Lea, PeterMcCredie, Andrew Somerville, Adam Buchmasser and Jason Sangha.

KOOKABURRA CUP

Newcastle’s defence of last season’s maiden success in the Kookaburra Cup was always going to bechallenging.The squad had a good pre-season via The Hunter Academy & were well prepared leading into theirfirst of 3 round games against Central Northern @ Ron Hill Oval.The team Captain was Callan Fowler & Vice-Captain was Luke Muddle.

Game 1 match results: Loss to Central Northern (toss won by central northern)

Central Northern elected to bat & reached a total of 6/162 from their 50 overs.Central Northern had an opening partnership of 50, which set up a solid start for them, but aftergrabbing a few wickets with our later bowling changes we managed to keep them to a reasonabletotal.

For Newcastle, Callan Fowler took 2/20 from 7 overs, Liam Bench 1/17 from 7 (2 maidens), GlennWinsor 1/20 from 7 overs (1 maiden) & Sam Winpenny 1/29 from 8 overs (2maidens).Newcastle reached 9/158 from their 50 overs.For Newcastle Josh Claridge made 56, Liam Whitehead 22, Matt Brodie 17, Ahmed Badat 15 & LukeMuddle 12 no.

After good starts from our top 4, it was only Josh Claridge that went on with his start. We were lackingjust one more solid batting partnership from our batting group to turn this result.

Game 2 match result: Win over North Coastal: (toss won by north coastal)

This was by far our best performance & the frustration being it was against the team that went on towin the Kookaburra Cup.

North Coastal elected to bat & reached 9/149 from their 50 overs.North Coastal got off to a solid start posting 46 for the opening stand before our spinners took charge& built a lot of pressure over a tight 20 over spell, this managed to keep their total well within reach.For Newcastle, Callan Fowler took 4/16 from 10 overs (3 maidens), Toby Gray 2/25 from 10 overs (1maiden) & Aiden Galvin 1/20 from 7 overs. Liam Whitehead had a direct hit run out of their leadingbatsman Jack Cooper that was pivotal to the result & Michael Richardson snared 2 quality stumpings.Newcastle reached 4/150 from 38.4 overs for a resounding victory.

For Newcastle Josh Claridge scored 104 not out, Ahmed Badat 13 & Luke Muddle 10.Josh’s innings was one of the finest innings I’ve seen for many years, with his only chance comingwhen he was in the 80’s & he dominated the North Coastal bowling to all corners of the ground, itwas a delight to watch.

Game 3 match result: Loss to Southern: (toss won by Newcastle)

At this stage of the carnival we were back on top of ladder on run rate & thought that a strong winmay see us make the final. Unfortunately, a bizarre result in the Central Northern vs North Coastalmatch, where North Coastal dismissed Central Northern for 42, put this opportunity out of reach.We batted first & were all out for 148 off 49.3 overs.

We made a lot of promising starts in this innings but just did not go on with our partnerships.

For Newcastle Ahmed Badat scored 31, Josh Claridge 27, Luke Muddle 17, Liam Whitehead 16, MattBrodie 11 & Michael Richardson 10.

Southern reach our total being 6/149 off 48.5 overs.For Newcastle Aidan Galvin took 3/20 off 9 overs (2 maidens), Noah James 1/10 off 2 overs, LukeMuddle 1/23 off 10 overs (3 maidens) & Callan Fowler 1/25 off 6 overs.

Joshua Claridge was our leading run scorer with 187 runs @ 97.50 & also was the leading run scorerover the carnival from all teams.Callan Fowler was our leading wicket taker with 7 wickets for 61 @ 8.71 & finished third on thewickets taken table.

We just came up short unfortunately, but we are also well aware of the areas we need to put thework into.

Under 14 State Challenge @Dubbo.

A combined side from Newcastle / Central Coast called “The New Coast Stingrays” was selected afterround 3 & they got the opportunity to play in the under 14 state challenge at Dubbo.

The team was coached by Central Coast’s Mark Danckert & managed by Newcastle’s Yusuf Badat.

Newcastle had 7 players selected for this side.Callan Fowler (co-captain), Ahmed Badat, Joshua Claridge, Luke Muddle, Michael Richardson, LiamWhitehead & Glenn Winsor.

The team had 2 wins & 2 losses.The two victories came in matches captained by Callan.

Once again Joshua Claridge was a standout for the New Coast Stingrays leading the run scoring totalfor the Stingrays & finish in the top 3 overall.Josh had the distinction of being selected in the under 14 state merit side which was a hugeachievement.

Thank you to Bill Bannon as assistant coach & Paul Gray as manager.

Russel Fowler.

CLUB COMPETITIONS

FIRST GRADE YEAR IN REVIEWThe Herald’s Josh Leeson

The 2014-15 season was the summer that Merewether truly joined the echelons of the greatest eversides in Newcastle district cricket history. Their 210-run victory over Stockton-Raymond Terrace wastheir fourth straight two-day premiership.

Not since Hamilton won six consecutive premierships in the 1950s has a Newcastle club been sodominant. The result never appeared in doubt when Pat Darwen (127) and Simon Moore (72) posteda 200-run second-wicket partnership. Darwen’s performance, his second century in two-day finals,earned him the inaugural Ken Clifford Medal. A blistering 98 not out off 88 balls from Hamish Bartlettfurther crushed the young Stockton bowling attack, as Merewether posted 7-380.

In reply Stockton reached 170, in a disappointing end to the feel-good story of the summer.

After collecting the wooden spoon the previousseason, the Seagulls responded to finish fourthand then upset minor premiers University in thesemi-finals.

Merewether’s two-day dominance followed adramatic SCG Country Cup victory overHamilton-Wickham, which allowed the Lions todraw level with their arch rivals on five titles. Inarguably the SCG Country Cup’s greatest finale,Hamwicks fell for 235 in reply to Merewether’s7-245. Hamwicks appeared poised for an unlikelyvictory before Lions paceman Mark Cameronskittled the tail.

Sam Jenkinson - Stockton

However, Merewether’s dominance was disrupted in the Tom Locker Cup 50-over and Twenty20competitions. Hamwicks won a controversial Tom Locker Cup final that was marred by rain.Merewether were 2-106 from 26.2 overs with Sam Gilmour (53 not out) and Pat Darwen (25 notout) at the crease when play at No.1 Sportsground was halted for almost four hours due to storms.When play finally resumed Hamwicks were set 101 off 25 overs, which they chased successfully fourwickets down.

Rain did not provide any excuse in theT20 decider where University avengedtheir previous loss to Merewether. Unimade 6-149 and then restrictedMerewether to 130. The Lions wereawarded an extra 12 runs for a slowover rate, but still Uni emergedvictorious by seven runs.

On the individual front, Hamwicks all-rounder Mark Dries was the NewcastleHerald cricketer of the year for 540runs at 41.54 and 30 wickets at 13.07.

Dries also won the Dickinson Shield forthe best first-grade batting average.

Luke Bird – University

Merewether quick Mark Cameron claimed a third consecutive Heath Trophy for his bowling recordof 49 wickets at 7.80. Charlestown Captain Dane Macourt and Stockton Raymond Terraces JamesThomas took out the wicket-keeping award.

Appreciation to NDCA Chairman Paul Marjoribanks and Secretary Royce McCormack for assistanceand co-operation throughout the season.

TOM LOCKER CUP

MEREWETHER all-rounder Sam Gilmour believes the Duckworth-Lewis method should be adopted inNewcastle district cricket after rain left Hamilton-Wickham with an easy chase to win the Tom LockerCup final on Sunday.

Hamwicks were set 101 off 25 overs and won by six wickets.

Merewether were 2-106 from 26.2 overs with Gilmour (53 not out) and Pat Darwen (25not out) atthe crease when play at No.1 Sportsground was halted for almost four hours due to storms.

‘‘We placed ourselves in a strong position and then the rain came, but you can’t do much about theweather,’’ Gilmour said.

‘‘It’s tough being in that position and then just giving them what they had to chase.’’

Under the Duckworth-Lewis method, Hamwicks would have been required to chase 174 from 25overs, and Gilmour said that was a fairer system.

‘‘You can’t have that kind of finish to a competition. Something needs to happen,’’ he said.

‘‘Duckworth-Lewis is a proven formula in international cricket. They said it was too difficult to workout, but Brad Bannister downloaded an app within three minutes and came up with a total straightaway.’’

Newcastle District Cricket Association chairman Paul Marjoribanks said his board would investigateadopting the Duckworth-Lewis method for next season.

‘‘Not to take anything away from Hamwicks’ win, but we definitely need to look at it for next season,’’Marjoribanks said.

It was obvious from Hamwicks’ post-match celebration that the victory carried some hollowness.

‘‘It’s disappointing for them after being set for two batsmen and not being able to bat again,’’Hamwicks skipper Josh Trappel said.

‘‘I can see the disappointment, but a win is still a win.

‘‘We still had to go out against a quality bowling attack and get the runs.’’

When play resumed at 4.20pm, Hamwicks lost Shane Hughes (9) when he was bowled by Gilmour (2-18) at 1-12.

Opener Ben Balcomb (33) set about stabilising the run chase.

When Gilmour trapped Balcomb lbw with four overs remaining at 4-82, Merewether had a faint hopeof an unlikely victory.

However, Mark Dries (15 not out off 15 balls) and Sam Webber (11 not out off eight) restored the runrate to canter to victory with 14 deliveries to spare.

NDCA T20 COMPETITION

The success of the NDCA First Grade T20 Competition continued in season 2014/2015, with manyclubs reporting great support for the T20 day concept together with the mid-week match, a conceptthat could be expanded next season.

The season had many interesting matches, which included 15 outright results, several of these sawthe outright result won after a first innings loss. Congratulations go to Merewether DCC for takingout the final in a close battle with Charlestown. In a low scoring affair at Kahibah Oval, Merewetherwere able to defend a modest 135. Charlestown fell just 19 runs short.

THIRD GRADE

This season’s Third Grade competition was a close competition with the top 3 positions not decideduntil the final game of the season with Toronto managing a bonus point win to give them the MinorPremiership. The other 3 semi-finalists were all beaten in the last round, Charlestown’s effort to ofa double bonus point win in the final round saw them just miss out to Wallsend for 4th spot.

Without a doubt the outstanding bowling performance of the season was in this grade withCardiff-Boolaroo bowler returning the outstanding figures of 10 for 20 off 12.4 overs in the 1st

innings of Rd 17 against University.

In a rain affected semi-final seriesToronto chased down the small totalset be Wallsend (5/72 v 71) whilstBelmont had a similar win overMerewether 4/77 v 76)

The final at Ron Hill oval was arguablythe closest match of all the finalsplayed which each side bothstruggling at one stage and thenmanaging a recovery the end resultwas a hard fought win by Belmont ina match that was played in goodspirit both teams can be proud oftheir efforts.

FOURTH GRADE

The Fourth Grade competition this season was divided into 3 power teams Cardiff, Newcastle Cityand Toronto with another group that were competitive but not able to match it with the top 3 andthen a group who were clearly outclassed it is a pity that there are some of the very young playerswho are not ready to compete with the mature older players and clubs should consider their futurebefore that throws these younger players to the wolves.

The two highest individual scores for the season were recorded in this Grade 228 no by Craig Slavekfrom Belmont and 187 by Angus Norton from University.

David Moore from Charlestown had the astonishing figures of 8/1 against Hamilton-Wickham inthe last round of the season

That being said there was some closely fought tussles in the past season, with the Minor Premiershipand finals qualification only determined on completion of the final round of the competition and itwas a pity to see a number of ground unavailability’s for this round. The Fourth Grade Final was aone sided affair with Cardiff-Boolaroo totally dominating Newcastle City again, with former 1st

Graders Matt Hancock and Peter Willis the standout players.

If you are looking for evidence to support this you need no more that to look at the outstandingperformances in this grade there are truly some astounding batting and bowling performances, Ihope the competition next season is a little closer in future seasons.

Outstanding Performance Samuel Palmer Hat Trick V Waratah-Mayfield

UNDER 15 T20 COMPETITION

The inception of the mid-week T20 saw this competition played at No 1 Sports Ground as thecurtain raiser for the First Grade during January this should have been a huge success during theschool holidays, however this competition showed up some of the poor relationships that existbetween the Junior and Grade Clubs with too many forfeits – this competition has now beenrunning for a number of years and the clubs need to be better organised and communicate prior tothe week before a match.

The standard of cricket in the competition was quite high when the teams actually got to play, witha number of players relishing the opportunity to play on First Grade grounds (often with anenthusiastic crowd). A number of players registered significant individual performances, with AdamWinchester averaging 172 with a high Score of 63 not out for Charlestown and Jake Berwick fromToronto taking a hat trick preliminary round fixture.

The final was a one sided affair with Toronto Workers accounting for the well performed Hamilton-Wickham., while Wests CC progressed to the final at the expense of Cardiff-Boolaroo.

This cricket continue to showcased some of the most talented young cricketers in the Newcastlearea and needs to be supported better by some of the clubs

Outstanding Performance Jake Berwick Hat Trick V Stockton-Raymond Terrace

UNDER 21 COMPETITION

Some of the finest young cricketers in Newcastle were on display in the Under 21 Competition duringthe past season. A number of fine individual performances were recorded in the competition,however this season was the opposite to last and showed the depth of Newcastle bowling with BryanWarren (Stockton) and Angus Young (Wallsend) each taking multiple large wicket hauls, LachlanMaher (Cardiff) was the sole centurion this season.

Wallsend made up for their unexpected loss last season to win the Bert Atkin Shield in a one sidedmatch final at No 1 Sportsground against Waratah-Mayfield. Wallsend batted first in good conditionsscoring a very competitive 8 for 224 runs from their 50 overs. The 1st Grade experience of the

Wallsend bowlers showed as they bowled Waratah out for 92 with Liam Taylor and Cameron Roxbyeach taking 3 wickets.
