PRESIDENT’S REPORT

Unfortunately, the 1998/99 season fell short of expectations on the playing

fields. 1st Grades 46 points and 11th position on the table was probably the

highlight along with the Green Shield side’s comprehensive victories

inspired by exceptional cricket from players like Daniel Christian and

Andrew Langdon (real players of the future) and 4th grade making the

newly formatted 6 team finals series. However, the other results were

disappointing and were well short of the goals set for the Club this year.

By the same token these results must be viewed in their true context,

namely, that of a Club in its early stages of a rebuilding program, both on

and off the field. The number of new and very young players making up

our 1st and 2nd Grade sides this year is an important development for the Club that promises a bright

future and hopefully a long awaited 3rd premiership in 1st Grade in the next few years. With the

assistance, guidance and development being provided by what must be the top Club Coaching Team in

Australia (Messrs Lawson, Milliken and Salisbury) the encouraging first year performances of our

young guns (let’s ignore PG performances for the time being) seem certain to be converted into further

representative honours within the Club and that long awaited return to the pinnacle of the Sydney

Grade competition.

Jon Horley’s first season as 1st Grade captain is one about which he can be very proud. With the loss

of a couple of key 1st Graders from last year, the “barnstorming” 11th position finish (with

comprehensive wins over North Sydney (minor premiers), Easts, Gordon and Petersham and a narrow

miss against St George) displayed what a galvanised and competitive team he had moulded together.

The poor first half of the season for 1st Grade might have killed other teams.

Congratulations also to Rob Stark in (again) leading his side into the semi finals.

Ian Salisbury’s return for a second season and the potential that he might be a regular fixture at the

Club for more seasons to come is an enormous bonus. His Cricketer of The Year achievement for the

Club was testament to his wonderful on field performances. Ian has become an invaluable part of the

Club with his coaching contributions and his abilities to develop the all round cricketing skills of

players right throughout the Club.

Geoff Milliken’s retirement from 1st Grade sees the end of a magnificent career at that level.

Thankfully it seems that Geoff will continue in his coaching role and captain the all important 2nd

Grade side that is in desperate need of a player of his experience and ability to develop the young and

aspiring cricketers as they rise through the grades, and on route to 1st Grade.

Finally, congratulations to the well deserved Life Membership finally bestowed on Dave Meagher.

What a wonderful servant of the Club he has been in years gone by in his captaincy, batting and

fielding, but equally in his contributions as President of the Club and in his roles on the Management

Committee of the Sydney Cricket Association. And to Matt Sanders, a most worthy recipient of the

Clubman of the year award.

The UNSWCC offers its members so much in the way of opportunities and assistance, as cricketers

and as people. I sincerely believe that the taste of another 1st Grade premiership or Club Championship

is something that is not too far around the corner provided the players continue with their hard efforts

and utilise the resources (and skills) that are available to them. CHRIS CHAPMAN

COACHING REPORT

After a year at DP Greg Livingstone decided to hand down that trusty baseball glove to myself to take

on the Club Coaching role. Once again we were back at the VG for competition games and Club

training which made life a lot easier for players and coaching staff alike.

Generally, everybody was keen about the upcoming season after a good finish to 1997/98. Squad

training started at the SCG Indoor Nets and fitness runs all commenced in July. Unfortunately wet

weather seemed to plague us for the first half of the season interrupting our pre season game against

Sydney Uni and numerous training sessions, which was frustrating for everybody involved.

Overall I was happy with the efforts of the players at training but late in the season numbers did drop

off and people were turning up later than normal. With a middle of the road finish in the Club

Championship we still need to be working harder and improving ourselves to lift our standing in all

grades and win premierships.

I would like to thank several people who helped throughout the season. Geoff Lawson who was at most

sessions helping out and talking to players. Jim Dixon also helped out at training and not to mention

numerous phone calls and e:mails to players. Ian Salisbury was always lending a hand with batsmen

and bowlers and with fielding drills. Thanks to Roger Carr and Ray Galway for their efforts and

support with practice and match day wickets. With a newly laid centre and practice wickets and some

unkind weather made Roger’s task a hard one at the VG.

In closing I would like to thank all Club members for their support and hope we are all working hard

for a successful season ahead.

FIRST GRADE REPORT

To reflect upon a season that saw us finish on 46 points and in outright 11th spot, it is fair to say that

in many ways it was a pleasing and satisfying one. However when you analyse the season and consider

that we were on 20 points and in contention for the wooden spoon with only four rounds remaining it

puts the season in a different perspective.

To finish the final four rounds in the way that we did was to say the very least an extraordinary

experience. Two outright victories, one first innings victory against the minor premiers - that was one

wicket away from an outright, and what was effectively an outright tie that could have gone either way

against a top four side.

Being a part of what was an exceptional team effort and what was the epitome of team spirit and

camaraderie was a highlight in my cricketing life. For us to reap the rewards of the countless hours

associated with participating in this sport that we all have a deep and intense passion for was an

exhilarating experience. If you ever doubted why you sacrifice so much time to participate in the sport

the answer was in the final four rounds. Guys realising the potential that they have, others performing

above their own expectations and contributing to what was simply an outstanding team effort. It made

me an extremely proud and satisfied skipper. Whilst reflecting upon the season one feels for Pratty who

due to injury missed the last four games and consequently was the brunt of numerous form reversal

jokes. He deserved to share in our success and it was great to see him turning up to support and also

participate in the final round for the Club.

The exciting part for the UNSWCC is that the current first grade side is brimming with youth, raw

talent, enthusiasm and motivation. If the guys can capture the emotion from the final four rounds, work

even harder this pre-season on some techniques and take that with them into the next season, the Club

will be in a first grade final next year!

Moving away from the emotional high of the final four rounds the reason that we didn’t finish higher

than 11th spot was due to our batting. A lack of consistency, a lack of significant partnerships and a

lack of centuries cost us dearly. To win a premiership I estimate one player must get 600-700 runs plus

and two others must get around 500. Dave Carson was the only player to break 500.

Knowing that if we could get our way to 250 we would just about guarantee ourselves a victory or at

the very least a fighting chance, but being unable to do that was a great disappointment. And that fact

alone should provide us with the ammunition we need to make ourselves work that little bit harder in

the nets and turn ourselves into a side capable of winning the premiership.

Individual Players:

Geoff Milliken:

If Spike does retire from first grade as he has indicated, it would sell short his role in the side to say he

will be an enormous loss for the first grade but also for our Club. The respect that the Cricket

community has for Spike is immense and he will be enormously missed not only by the UNSWCC but

also by all those that have played with, played against, umpired or just come in contact with . Spike’s

obvious experience came in extremely handy on numerous occasions rarely was the advice he offered

me ignored and even more rarely was it wrong.

Overall it was a disappointing season for Spike with the bat. His standout performance was the

sensational dig of 85 not out against his old side St George. The great shame of the season was that we

couldn’t provide the necessary support to allow him to go on and get a much deserved century.

Spike’s close to the wicket catching was once again outstanding. Numerous half chances were taken

and one particular gem against Gordon was the turning point in allowing us to grab outright points.

Farewell to one of the genuine GOOD GUYS!!

Ian Salisbury:

“Salsy” was simply too good for players on any number of occasions. His numbers say it all. 45

wickets at 17.6 in the declaration cricket and 9 wickets at 7 in the one dayer’s. Salsy was just about

unplayable when he got it right and he was most certainly unpickable all season.

The real beauty about captaining a guy like “Sals” is that he rarely doesn’t get it right. In fact I can’t

recall him bowling badly. He may not always have bowled brilliantly but he never gave away easy runs

and always made the batsmen earn their runs.

Undoubtedly a slightly disappointing year with the bat for Sals by his own very high standards, after

the season he had last year perhaps we expected too much.

A very deserving winner of the Club Player of the Year, and we seriously hope the English selectors

continue to overlook a player that could very well win back the Ashes for the Poms.

Warren Saunders:

Wazza has very quickly made himself indispensable in our side and was once again the basis around

which we built our attack. His incredible consistency and accuracy from one end allowed us to attack at

the other. Wazza bowled a massive 285 overs 90 of which were maidens. He deserved an awful lot

more wickets than the 36 he took at 18.3. His effort in all circumstances is a lesson to all.

The 6 – 14 Wazza took against Saints to win the game on first innings for us was a special moment in

the season.

Dave Carson:

Carso at times through the season looks a test player. If he could maintain that consistency he is

capable of playing cricket at a level higher than first grade. His promotion up the order to open the

innings was a turning point. He took the responsibility of being our leading batsmen and led us to

consecutive victories against Gordon and Norths.



Page 16

The century against Gordon an obvious highlight, however the real highlight for me was the 50 against

North Sydney on a green top which ensured a well deserved victory showed the maturity, concentration

technique and patience that the selectors I believe are looking for when they select a NSW side.

My only criticism of this great team man would be there were too many twenties and thirties not being

converted into 50’s and 100’s. If that happens look out!

Anthony Pratt:

“Cracker” started the season in awesome form with a match winning 65 and 4 for against Parramatta.

It was, we hoped the start of what would be a truly successful year. Unfortunately the rest is history. A

broken hand in round 10 cutting short his season and providing him with food for thought about his

cricketing future. Pratty did go on to take 17 wickets at 23.5 and on his day was a handful for batsmen.

It was a shame Pratty couldn’t have been a part of the late season success. He deserved to share in the

spoils. I look forward to playing more cricket in future years with Jatz.

Todd Hoare:

Toddy’s pre Xmas form was fantastic. His post Xmas form was on a par with his sledging - that is very

ordinary and disappointing despite promising a lot! Having said that it was Todd’s first year in First

grade he scored the most 50’s for our side and at times was the most technically correct and the most

likely to score runs. Perhaps I expected too much after the great start to the year. He managed 340 runs

for the season an excellent start to what I am sure will be an extremely successful cricket career at

UNSW.

More concentration in the nets the ability to learn from your mistakes and a greater desire to build an

innings and play in the V early will ensure success for Todd.

Mark Mullen:

A reluctant first grader if ever I saw one. This year saw Mullos start to realise the enormous potential

that he has as a cricketer and importantly start to believe that he is capable of playing first grade

cricket. Mullos at times was our stand out batsmen. His 74* against Easts one of the highlights of the

season. That partnership of 110 with Andy was the turning point in the match taking us out of all sorts

at 8-110.

His useful contributions with the ball added another dimension to our attack. Mullos has the ability to

make many more major contributions to this side in the years to come. A great team man that does an

awful lot behind the scenes to make the Club what it is.

Andy Neilan:

Andy had a terrific start to his first grade career. Thrown into the deep end he came up trumps. Some

more than useful contributions with the bat including the 61 against Easts in the memorable partnership

with Mullos which saw him cover drive G. Matthews for four in three consecutive deliveries and some

outstanding keeping sealed a fantastic rookie season. Continued work on his keeping and patience with

the bat will see Andy develop into an outstanding keeper batsmen prospect for NSW.

Michael Elliott:

Mick offered our side an awful lot when called up to ones. Whilst not having the greatest time of it with

the bat, Mick has the potential to turn himself into an outstanding player. Continued hard work on



Page 17

technique, fitness and patience in the off season will ensure greater success for Mick in the years to

come. A highlight for Mick was the 50 odd against Gordon to set us on our way. Perhaps a more

important knock was the 24 against Norths the following weekend that got us off to a much needed

good start. He looked as solid as anybody against quality pace bowling on a green top.

Dave Heysen:

Dave made a fantastic impression when the given the chance in his first game in one’s against

Randwick where he bowled with genuine pace and swing. To drop him for the following game when

Wazza returned was one of the more difficult things I had to do. When he returned to one’s some games

later he continued his success.

Some outstanding spells against Easts, North Sydney and Sutherland had batsmen literally shaking in

their boots. To finish with 14 at 21 was a great start. A sensational discovery and we look for bigger

and better things from Dave next season as he will no doubt continue to improve.

Damon Dermody:

Damo was our lucky charm. His confidence and positive outlook added enormous value to a team that

was struggling with confidence. His impact was immediate, all the players lifted around him and the

team didn’t look back. Whilst he didn’t have a super time with the bat his 40 against Sutherland was

outstanding. You can’t keep a good man down, in four games Damo took 7 catches and assisted in

securing us 26 competition points.

Tim Buckett:

Despite not having a great time in one’s with the ball Buckos should have had a very satisfying time.

He once again proved he is more than capable of playing at this level. His obvious physical injuries just

holding him back. Nevertheless there were still some outstanding contributions primarily with the bat

from TB.

Michael Kovacs:

A very special mention to Kurly who answered our SOS at the start of the year. With the loss of B.

Nott to Adelaide we were left stranded without a recognised keeper. Kurls responded as only he can to

our request for him to come out of semi retirement to join us. All this despite nursing a pregnant wife

and the challenges of a demanding job. We are thankful Kurls and you are also one of the genuine

GOOD GUYS.

Others:

Cootsy, AJ, Rowan and Searley all proved they are more than capable of playing at this level. For

different reasons for all those individuals it didn’t happen as much as I would have liked. Never the

less, there is always next year.

Mark Jefferys:

The big thriller who has packed away his pens and pencils for good will be missed enormously by the

first grade side. Mark was more than a scorer he was a part of the team and provided enormous

assistance to me behind the scenes. Good luck in Newcastle and thanks again for your enormous

contributions over the past 4/5 seasons.



Page 18

I’d like to take the opportunity to thank my beautiful wife Sheridan who despite all the goings on of

what appeared until the final four rounds to be an unsuccessful season, the trainings, the selection

meetings, the “dry” Friday nights, the “dry” Saturday nights prior to a Sunday game, the celebrations

when we either won or didn’t have to play on Sunday, the numerous Sunday games and all the useless

“stuff” that she would find me raving on about over a very drawn out 6-7 month period. She remained

100% supportive and full of encouragement. I couldn’t have done it with out her and am eternally

grateful.

A final thanks to Orca, Disc and “H” who provided enormous assistance and encouragement

throughout the year. Thanks to all the parents who travelled from near and far to provide much needed

support a special thank you to the Carsons and Hoares. A final thanks to all the guys I had the pleasure

of playing cricket with in this very turbulent yet extremely enjoyable year!! I shall never forget it! Good

luck in the millennium season.

SECOND GRADE REPORT

To say Second Grade had a disappointing year would obviously be an understatement. The side

throughout the year had difficulty distinguishing between a good side “on paper” and a good side “on

the field”. Too often we were beaten by apparent poorer sides.

It is difficult to enjoy cricket when you scan around the field and see a side full of capable and potential

First Graders that cannot perform consistently at enough to finish in the top 6 in Second Grade.

It is important that in the future we are able to realise that being successful is not looking good in the

nets or knowing a lot about the game but consistently performing at the highest level we are capable of.

This year we were not successful.

The season was not all bad however. The Club was fortunate enough to have another Pom who was

ineligible for First Grade. Luke Sutton came to Australia to improve his cricket and accelerate his

progression to First-Class cricket in England. [Insert own smart-arse comment here]. It is fair to say

that Luke achieved his goal. He also improved the cricket of anyone who played cricket with him or

spoke to him during his stay. Luke was a bonus for the Club and leaves behind big boots to fill. He

scored 549 runs in 14 innings at 42.32 which included 2 centuries and took 19 catches with the gloves.

The seasons other consistent performer was Tim Cox. This year was Tim’s first with the Club and Tim

was perhaps unlucky not to get the opportunities given to other first year players. Tim is always

competitive whether batting or bowling and is reliable tight bowling was at times a luxury for the

captain. Tim bowled 182 overs, 45 maidens and took 24 wickets for 399 runs at 16.62.

Tim Buckett also made significant contributions. He took 24 wickets at 13.29. His aggressive bowling

often provided us with early wickets. I hope Tim enjoyed his last season as a medium pacer, he assured

me he has made the switch to off spin to extend his career.

Other impressive individual performances included centuries to Mark Mullen (103) and Andrew

Johnson (119). Greg Dennis took 6 for 43 against Gordon and showed he is easily capable of

performing at that level.

The season’s team highlights included an outright victory against Fairfield. Set a target of 105 off 13

overs the total was reached off 11.2 overs with Mick Elliott 76 not out. The two other highlights would

be good wins against Randwick and Sutherland.

As stand-in captain for the second half of the season I enjoyed the various challenges. I also enjoyed

catching glimpses of great potential, some players shone more consistently than others and some

occasionally flickered. I look forward to greater things from Rowan Hamman, Tim Cox, Micklaus

Mag, Alex Lamb, Greg Dennis and David Heysen.

THIRD GRADE REPORT

Finishing just outside the top 6 was very disappointing given the players 3rd

Grade managed to march

out on to the field this season. Our comprehensive win over the eventual premiers (Sutherland) in the

last round was testament to the strength of the team and the successes we should have achieved.

It was primarily a function of player unavailability at various times and other players taking most of

the season before “discovering” their games. This, I believe, was the main cause of our inconsistent

performances.

But, as always, our failure to bring home the silverware should not mask the many positive aspects of

this season. Many of these are evident from my later discussion of the individual players. The most

important being that, despite our relative failures, the game was played and enjoyed in the right spirit.

Even in the fire of sledging and arrogance of some opposition that I can barely remember even at a first

grade level, the players remained calm and just played the game. Our only divergence from this

philosophy being the agreed need to give it to that bloke from Sutherland in the last game. It is

disappointing that young, talented cricketers who have a real future in the game, such as Daniel

Christian, are exposed to this sort of garbage. It is not the fact that talk and gamesmanship occurs on

the field, it is the trend for it to be delivered as personal attacks and in a very arrogant way. I trust that

the UNSWCC will always play it hard on the field but always as the sportsmen we aspire to be and

with a beer to be enjoyed with teamates and opposition alike each Saturday night.

Well……I’ve got to say that was beautiful!!!!! Now on to the Report.

Our losses to Parramatta and Sydney Uni early in the season were the performances that you could

probably say ultimately killed off our finals chances. We played badly in those games, particularly with

our batting. The mid-season batting debacles against St George and Gordon were also disappointing, as

well as our across the board apparent inability to land the ball anywhere but outside leg stump in the

one-dayers. If various players could have displayed the approach to their batting that was evident at the

end of the season in these early games we would have won the competition. Our bowling, even when

our ranks seemed thin, never really let us down (except perhaps Sydney Uni). Our batting stocks

always seemed full but did not deliver until it was too late. At the end of the season we discovered that

if we value our wickets and build innings the big scores will come. The performances of Sohail and

Daniel Christian at the end of the season were great examples of this and Stammy was the best

example all season to all batsmen who watched him play. He’s no Mark Waugh or Chris Chapman but

he seems to value his wicket more than any other and builds a score even when he knows he is not

batting well.

A huge thank you to Mrs (Sludgy) McLachlan who scored for us on so many occasions, often under

extreme difficulty (eg Sutherland), but always with a familiar smile and much needed support for the

team. Her son might let her down by not scoring the hundreds he should but this never seemed to

dampen her much valued support and assistance.

The players:

DANIEL BOWCOCK: I want to start with Bowy because I consider that his contributions to the team

and the style of cricket that this Club aspires to were outstanding. He is a batsman of rare skill and

ability, if perhaps still coming to terms with his own game. Crucial innings vs Mosman, North Sydney

and Sutherland stand out and inevitably led to our victories. But his batting has potential way beyond

this as anyone who has seen him play can attest. I think he is coming to terms with crucial aspects to

his batting and if so the sky is the limit. However, it was Bowy’s enthusiasm, encouragement, positive

thinking and well-timed words of inspiration that became the trademark of the side. We could have



Page 26

floundered badly in the last quarter of the season, and half way through the Campbelltown game it

appeared we would. But it was Bowy’s contributions in the field (and that Campbelltown game stands

out, even though it was only indicative of his approach basically for the entire season) that, I believe,

almost single handedly invigorated us as a team. My thanks to Bowy who, although never officially

being made vice captain, was the vice captain both the team and I needed desperately.

DANIEL CHRISTIAN: I think everyone in the Club has come to realise that Daniel has the potential to

be a star of the future. His “numbers” both in 4th grade and 3

rd grade belie his actual contribution and

fail to tell the story of a 16 year old’s mature approach to the arduous task of competing in senior

cricket. Daniel’s big asset is that he listens, he wants to learn and he loves playing his cricket. I did not

mention his obvious talents because for a kid of his age those will always be wasted without the assets I

mentioned and which he possesses. The Club clearly sees a very bright future for Daniel and some

might say that we rushed him too quickly in to 3rd

grade. I don’t think so and I believe his performances

at the end of the year showed that he can easily handle 3rd

grade. With the patience, maturity and

confidence he shows the test for our club will be to ensure he has the appropriate opportunities and that

senior players continue to support him in his developing years.

JEREMY STAMM: It was well deserved that Stammy topped the averages this year in light of my

comments above. He has the potential to do better as he is not a “practiser” and he arguably did not

have as many opportunities as a lot of the other players. But he was a good team man – quiet but

committed and determined, always putting in the field and of course teaching everyone by example as to

how much their wicket is worth.

SOHAIL MOHIDEEN: Had an awesomely shocking start to the season and ended up being dropped to

4s for several games. A few solid innings down there were enough to convince that he was ready to

come back and display his natural talents in 3s and hopefully beyond. I think Sohail scored 3 fifties in

his 4 innings upon return and he only ever looked like getting out when the impulse to ferociously

square drive became too much. Sohail seemed to have finally sorted out an appropriate game plan to his

batting. He had obviously learned a lot from Stammy and he had eradicated the flick to leg and

ferocious square drive from his early innings repertoire. Although the square drive reared its head later

in the innings that was the right time to play it. Anything on the stumps was being hit straight down the

ground rather than attempts to get it through square leg that have plagued Sohail’s promising career for

a number of years. Always the finest of fieldsmen and, I believe, a promising finger spinner. We hope

Sohy will be back with the Club soon after his overseas sojourn as he has been a wonderful contributor

to our Grade scene, but maybe even more so in the development of our Green Shield players.

TALLAESEN FLEMING: A very talented player who’s innings against Syd Uni was the most

dominant seen in 3s all year. He got quite a few starts but needs to build these in to bigger innings for

his own sake and for that of the team. Also smashed a Sutherland first grade attack around in the first

PG game of the season to let everyone know of what he is capable. I believe he can become a very

dominant cricketer within the Club. It will, knowing Tallaesen, probably be as simple as a question of

how important his cricket is to him. I hope he tries hard to fulfill his potential because he has so much

to offer (fielding/agility need a bit of work though).

ZAC ZAVOS: Zac’s early season form had us thinking 2nd

grade, not 4th grade. Unfortunately, as we

know, cricket is a cruel game and a run of unlucky dismissals, good pills and questionable umpiring

can leave an opener’s confidence crushed. This definitely happened to Zac which is unfortunate because

he could easily move up the grades if things could run his way a little. Another good team man who

always had ideas and theories that were more than useful in keeping his old skipper on his toes. His

fielding (and obviously his bowling – ha, ha) is hampered by a dodgy back but the efforts to contribute

in the field were always there.



Page 27

RUSSELL THOMAS: Russell’s bowling improved tremendously this year and his 7 wicket haul

against a fairly strong Parramatta side was outstanding. Although inconsistent in line and length and

with some big issues to address in developing the rhythm he needs in his action, Russell has that innate

ability to pick up wickets. He bowled some absolute jaffas during the year that would knock a lot of

first class players over but he mixed some wayward stuff in there as well. If we can sort these rhythm

issues out I think Russell has a bright future as he swings the ball away from the bat and can generate

good pace. Fielding is improving and his last wicket partnership with Eric vs Petersham proved what

sought of contributions tailenders can make to the scoreboards they are then required to defend.

ERIC ZEHNER: A disrupted season due to overseas holidays and niggling injuries but, nevertheless, a

valuable contribution to the 3rd

Grade outfit. Is a genuine swinger of the ball and at good pace on his

day. He is suffering from some niggling back complaints but battled on, even experimenting with some

Derek Underwoodesque left arm orthodox stuff that was not too shabby at all – something he should

definitely continue working on fitting into his repertoire. A very competent bat as well, with limited

opportunities.

ROB “SLUDGE” McLACHLAN: A fantastic team and club man who’s results with the bat continue

to belie his ability. Affected somewhat by his mid season efforts to put speeding cops into hospital and

his bowling became limited. Slapped a couple down at first slip which is a sign of unwarranted lack of

self confidence rather than poor skills. Hopefully next season will be a big one for Sludgy.

PETER CARSON: A late start to the season saw Carso confined to 3rds which was a huge bonus for

our side. Ended up opening the batting (where he is undoubtedly suited) with some success and bowled

sensationally on occasions. Still needs to get the ball through the air a fraction quicker so that batsmen

can’t play him off the slow Sydney grade wickets. If he can then he will likely improve on his one first

grade game for the Club.

GREG DENNIS: A really good opening bowling prospect for the Club if we can get him started earlier

in the seasons and training a little more effectively. Has a very good outswinger bowled at pace with the

new ball and a most effective in swinger as the ball gets older (I hope not as many non-club members

read our report this year as seemed to last year or I will have just taken away some of Groggles’

mystery). Did well in 2nds when given a couple of opportunities at the end of the year.

MATT SANDERS: A disrupted season due to travel meant that we only had the Colonel for the first

half of the year. His awesomely punishing batting did not raise its ugly head as often as we would like

but he nevertheless made valuable contributions. Typical wicket-keeping psycho but a great bloke to

have in the team with his leadership skills and unselfish and helpful personality.

MICHAEL “DOUGY” MORSON: We were very privileged to have Dougy’s services for the last part

of the season as he is a very competent keeper and (although he didn’t show it in 3s) a top drawer

batsman. Unfortunately it looks as though Dougy’s UNSWCC career will be at least on hold for a

while due to his move to the Central Coast. He will be sadly missed as a player and Club personality

but I am sure we’ll still manage to see plenty of him. Good luck with the new addition to the family

(when he/she arrives) and keep watching those papers next year for a couple of UNSW premierships.

DAVID QUINLIN: Bowled pretty well for us in his few games in 3s although, for a variety of external

factors/reasons, was somewhat off his usual game. This saw him making way for a “younger” off

spinner with genuine flight and ability to give the ball an awesome rip (ie me). Managed to have his

pegs knocked over a few too many times as well which was unusual and perhaps simply indicative of

his battles “within”.



Page 28

OTHERS: Traff, Capital and Damo all spent a little while in 3s and made valuable contributions, with

Damo’s ultimate promotion to 1s being a highlight as it reflected hard work, determination and a

wonderful mental approach. Christoph’s 3rd

Grade debut was also most impressive and he clearly can

play higher grade cricket. He unfortunately got no opportunities with the bat but his swing bowling was

right on the money but with little luck (the skipper slapping one down at first slip denying him an early

first 3rd

grade wicket). Matty Plunkett-Cole also grabbed a couple of games with us and showed he has

substantial potential as well. This may not be reflected in actual runs scored but one only has to look at

his innings against North Sydney, in difficult conditions that required a good solid start until things

settled down. He stuck his head down and did the job for us just when it was required as the loss of

early wickets would have cost us that game. Tex, AJ, Buckos and Neilo also made cameo appearances.

Thanks to Mark Retter, Jason Finlay and Pete Mitchell for valuable contributions as well. And a big

thanks to that Club legend, Peter Trimble, for his cameo come back. Immediately dominated and young

people immediately learned from him, which is what has made him one of the Club’s all time great

skippers. We would love to see him back on a more regular basis.

FOURTH GRADE REPORT

The 1998-99 4th grade report will unfortunately start along similar lines as it has over the last few

years…….. so close yet so far.

Once again we made the semi finals and once again we were not good enough to proceed any further.

Without sounding repetitious that is not totally correct because I still honestly believe we were good

enough to go all the way but small lapses of concentration at crucial times proved disastrous.

Regardless of the negatives that may be associated with our performance it must be remembered that 4th

grade did make the semi finals and that is a fine achievement in its self.

Of the players this year none were as successful or as dominant as Alex Williams. Alex had an

outstanding season as his figures indicate and I shudder to think that the year before he was

contemplating retirement. Alex was instrumental in our semi final placing and I found him to be such a

positive influence on the team. His fielding was always of a high standard and his bowling was useful

to say the least. He never backed away from the chat this year and gave as good as he got and his

performance in keeping the Sutherland players waiting at the drinks break was priceless. The only

disappointment was Alex being stranded on 99 not out. I hope for the Club’s sake that work

commitments will not keep him off the field this year.

Jungle had another solid season with the highlight being his 149 against Mosman before he ran himself

out through sheer exhaustion. He was to prove this year virtually impossible to dismiss this year with 5

not outs and 3 run outs against his name. His bowling lacked penetration in the early part of the season

but as the business end of the year approached this changed around. Once again 201 overs yielded only

1.76 runs per over and at times he is impossible to get away. I thought Jim was more relaxed this

season, perhaps he is finally mellowing after only 25 years of grade cricket.

Christoph Casper Von Willer had a very solid season averaging 31.5 with the bat and claiming 21

wickets. Chris bowled with good pace in the first half of the season and deservedly gained promotion to

3rd

grade. Chris will play higher grades in the future but there will always be a place for him in 4s.

Chris is also a rare breed of lower grade player that have captured the wicket of a Test cricketer and if

you have a spare hour he will talk you through the dismissal.

Jason Finlay can now lay claim that he is no longer a 5th grade bowler and if he continues along the

same line will play higher than 4th grade. Jason bowled with great pace during the year and his second

spell in the semi final on a flat deck was an inspired piece of bowling. Arabic became an integral part

of 4th grade and as the season went by he continued to improve. He should also work on his batting as

he has the basics to perform at a greater level. Being a St George supporter indicates that he is destined

to greatness.

David Jebb will look back on his season and reach for the carving knife, extolling the virtues of suicide

as an honourable way out whilst declaring his undying love for Bryson. In reality Dave will never really

appreciate his role in the team this year. Dave made my job as captain this year the easiest its been over

the last four years. His encouragement and support for my captaincy was greatly appreciated and I

believe this year I was at ease and fully in control throughout the season as a result of his calm and

measured views. Statistics can be deceiving at times and this is one of those occasions. Dave is a fine

cricketer and a good friend and I could not have had a better understudy. I believe if he works on his

leggies he will extend his career much in the same vein as Jungle and with the ever reliable Bryson

retrieving those practice balls from the nets things are certainly looking positive.

A disturbing feature this year was the ugly reoccurrence of baseless, mindless sledging from simple

minded morons who had unsubstantiated claims of being cricketers. In most instances the ones with the

biggest mouths were the ones with the least ability but unfortunately their tactics worked on occasions.



Page 32

Sometimes I feel that we at the UNSWCC are not tough enough mentally. There is no need to react to

this type of behaviour unless it is of a personal nature then carte blanche should take precedence. I was

disappointed with the gutless approach of umpires this year and the way in which they allowed things to

continue. Certain clubs such as Penrith and Sutherland should be absolutely disgusted with the way

their players behaved and if the captains cannot control them then get someone who can. I thought the

behaviour of the UNSW 4th grade players was of the highest standard possible and I am proud of the

way in which played the game.

I would like to thank all the players this year for once again making it such an enjoyable season.

Thoughts of retirement are put aside when I have the opportunity to play along side such fine cricketers

but more importantly such great blokes. I am sure that we shall capture that 4th grade premiership in the

not too distant future.

Thanks again to everyone involved with making the UNSWCC the number one Club in Sydney Grade

Cricket.

Hitting “in the V” for 4ths vs Fairfield at DP



Page 35

FIFTH GRADE REPORT

This was a season that started and finished badly. In between times, the team strung together a series of

wins including wins over some teams higher on the ladder.

The team was very well captained by Gavin Harris who knows a thing or two about management and

maintained good team spirit and cohesion. Gavin is an inspirational leader who can come in and score a

quick fifty, take a great catch , take vital wickets or anchor the boat race team, when the team needs it.

I have been fortunate in the last few years to play with 2 excellent fifth grade captains in “Hard Eights”

Harris and Colonel Sanders.

The turning point for us came when we had major team changes coming into the St George game and

ending up losing a game that should have been won. I guess the changes paid off in a couple of ways as

it did give us a look at some very good prospects for the future in Michael Wilding, Ian Ornelius and

Andrew Langdon. All three look good cricketers in the making. Some of the players who did go up to

Fourth Grade played important roles in their win that day and that was important in them making the

semis. It’s an ill wind that blows nobody some good!

Best of the batsman were Gavin with 407 at 31, Farmer Lindsay with 333 at 33, Andrew Cavill with

218 at 27 and Chris Jameson with 229 at 25. Scott Schirmer and Todd Martin also played some good

innings. The big improver was Cav who I think is going to have a big year as an all-rounder in

1999/2000.

Bowling was not always our strong point although few teams scored big totals against us. Late in the

season, the team had 2 “experienced” spinners if that term can be applied to Messrs Quinlan and Gregg

who are not huge rotators of the ball. Both bowlers took their fair share of wickets and so did Gavin.

The opening bowlers all probably needed the year of experience in grade and will probably all have

better years next season. Mustard Lucas bowled some genuinely good spells but just needs to build up

a little and begin to believe that he can perform well in grade. You are going to be a good bowler

Mustard! Geiran “Kit” Clowes returned to cricket after a 10 year break and bowled really really

quickly at times. Big Ben Von Willer also bowled consistently well in his few appearances.

Stars in the field were Tim Martin and Andrew Cavill who both took brilliant catches. Keepers Dorge

and Sanders both performed consistently well with 14 and 11 dismissals respectively and as a bowler it

is comforting to have either guy behind the stumps.

A reasonable year overall but we really should have made the semi finals. However it was an enjoyable

year and there is always a another year Scarlett.

SIXTH GRADE REPORT

The 6th grade season can be summed up as a year of lost opportunities. We were one of only 4 grade

clubs in the newly formed competition and represented a significant opportunity to score a

championship for the club.

The Metropolitan Cup is a brainchild of Peter Daffen of the local park Cricket fame. His diligent work

created a “turf” competition, which utilises the spare ground available on a weekly basis in grade and

shires clubs.

The competition was highly successful providing a cricketing platform for the young cricketers and will

continue grow from strength to strength in coming years. It provides an outlet for the fringe players in

the grade and shires clubs to sharpen their skills whilst awaiting an opportunity.

The team to beat in this year’s competition was always the one and only club not represented by a

shires or a grade club, Maccabi. The Maccabi side consisted of a former shield player Steve Hertzberg

who contributed positively to the competition.

Our season kicked off well with a win against the shires club, South Sydney. Mark Dorge justified his

elevation to higher honours with a well compiled 91. We also discovered a leg spin bowling talent in the

form of Hammad Bhatti, who collected a match best 5/19. The match was somewhat made

controversial by a draconian rule change mid-game that forced us to complete our innings in 60 overs.

Unfortunately we only decided on that ruling after batting for 55 overs and arguing for 30 minutes.

We were then confronted with the gun team in the competition in the form of Maccabi. They were full

of talent in both the bowling and batting and we went down gracefully in the second round. The match

also set the scene for the rest of the season in the selection follies that followed later. It became evident

that our team was going to be rotating large numbers of faces every match.

The third round was a success against Petersham, with Scoots scoring a ton and Glenn Shepherd taking

5/18. We were set for good season at this stage.

Fourth round against North Sydney was a disappointment as we performed badly in the first innings to

concede defeat. We showed our true potential in the second innings scoring 3/169. Chris McNamara

and Gavin Reddleman scored 70 s.

Fifth round was a triumph for Andrew Cavill and the team. Cav bowled for 4/13 and scored 96,

opening the batting. Combi also bowled well for 3/44 & 3/34. The emerging talent of Michael Shepherd

showed up and the veteran Chris Anderson scored 50. This was to set the tone for match outcomes for

the rest of the season with the outright being missed by a catch and 2 wickets. Entering the last over of

the day, Combi had to take 3 wickets to win. The first 3 balls were hit around as Anthony Wunch

sledged the batsman. The batsman attempted to hit the 4th ball in anger, which was caught one-handed

by Wunchy at point, leaping in to air Jonty style. This set the scene for us to take 2 wickets in 2 balls to

make history. The 5th ball was edged to slips by the new batsman and the catch was unfortunately

dropped. Had it been caught, Combi would have been bowling the last ball of the day for a hat-trick

and an outright win.

Sixth round once again was a success with Andrew Cavill scoring his first century for the club. Chris

Anderson scored a follow up 50 to put us in a commanding position in the ladder. Anthony Acret

bowled well to take 3/29 against Canterbury-Bexley. The chase for the outright was another lost

opportunity with Canterbury finishing on 6/99.



Page 39

The seventh round was failure as we went down to Randwick at the Kenso Oval. We were caught in a

wet green top and their batsmen coped better under the conditions.

The eighth round against Auburn, after the Christmas break was another success. We discovered a

sporting talent in Mick Anderson, the younger brother of Chris. Chasing 191, we were in trouble at

6/74. Mick scored 129 in his maiden game for the club with good support from Anthony Acret. Young

Louie Joseph bowled leggies for 4/41. Once again the outright eluded us. Mick Anderson showed his

all-round skills by bowling with venom to take 4/45. He would have had another 4 more had the catches

been caught.

The 9th and 10

th rounds were wash-outs. This was to have a devastating effect on our finals chances as

the teams we were to have played were “winnable” matches.

The 11th round once again was against the gun team on fire. We went down against Maccabi for the

second time in the season.

The 12th round against North Sydney at the lush North Sydney No. 2 oval unfortunately did not turn

out for the better. However, with a score of 286 at the end of the first day, we were justifiably proud of

our achievements. Michael Shepherd scored a much promised ton and Mick Anderson scored 93. North

Sydney batting were too solid in the second day with them passing our score 5 down. Young David

Kachor bowled well for 2/70, Mick Anderson 3/47 and Anthony Acret took 3/33. With a first innings

score of 286, this has to considered a lost opportunity.

Round 13 was a wash-out and the last round was against Pennant Hills on a Green top. The last match

of the competition was the first match on this wicket for the season. We bowled first with Mustard

opening the bowling. From having P’hills at 8/189, we allowed them to skip away to 247. Our batsmen

unfortunately did not cope well on the green top and we were all out for 107. The second inning turned

into a farce with P’hills playing on for practice. We needed an outright win to reach the finals ahead of

2 other teams, and both of the other teams ended up scoring outrights. Despite the somewhat

questionable results, we missed the finals with sadness.

Next year should be a little more successful with the experience gained this year.

7TH GRADE REPORT

“UNI BOONIES”

There is an age old saying that goes something like this……..

Cricket is a gentlemen’s’ game played by ruffians,

While Rugby is a ruffians’ game played by gentlemen.

A survey of the ranks of the UNSW Rugby Club in 1998 indicated one thing….. there were no

gentlemen, only ruffians. As a matter of logic therefore, it was decided that a cricket team should be

formed. The Cricket Club was duly consulted and lo! 7th grade was born!

Having assembled a small squad of 35 in very quick time, the first training session was held at a

solitary cricket net, deep in the heart of sunny Rosebery. This session revealed several things. First,

no-one had a set of whites that fitted them any more. Second, although it had been several years since

members of the squad had played the game, there was actually a smattering of cricketing talent in the

ranks. Third, and most important, the side was given a nick-name…..The “Uni Boonies”. A name that

stuck better than a sharp chance in the hands of the great short-leg himself.

The Boonies spent their inaugural season in 5th grade at Moore Park, a competition manned by a

mixture of retired Sheffield Shield players and up and coming 30 year old youngsters. Having shaken

off the cobwebs with an unlucky first round loss, the side clicked into gear, winning 5 out of 7 matches

in the first half of the season and turning for home at the top of the table. The most memorable

highlight of the early part of the season was the game against Randwick, where a depleted Boonies

team dismissed the opposition before tea on the first day, with one of the most devastating fielding

performances ever seen on Moore Park. Our first outright victory was subsequently obtained by a nine

wicket margin, the opposition claiming that they had never seen anything like it in Moore Park 5th

grade.

The post-Christmas session began well for the side, with the inaugural Uni Boonies ladies day being a

notable highlight. The minor premiership was effectively secured in round 12 (out of 14) and although

the team’s form fell away somewhat in the last three rounds, there is no doubt that the Boonies were the

best side in the competition throughout the season. After round 14, we finished 7 points clear of our

nearest rivals.

The semi-final was a real nail-biter. Superb bowling performances by Conrad Strahorn (5/27), Todd

Payne (3/51) and Damian Taylor (2/24) saw Souths Juniors tumble for 122. In reply, the Boonies had

an untimely batting collapse, finding ourselves at 7/83 overnight. Once again though, opener Matty

Roberts held the innings together with a classy 89 n.o. and we crept home by one wicket.

So it was that in our first year, the Uni Boonies faced the pressure of being the only UNSW side to

make the Grand Final. Facing the might of the Coast Cricket Club, another unfortunate batting

collapse on Day 1 saw us fall to 9/89. Our saviours this time were Tim Smart (79n.o.) and Damian

Taylor (23), who added 66 for the final wicket to set a competitive total of 155. In reply, the Coast

plodded to 4/148 at tea on day 2, with the Boonies attacking aggressively but without luck. In true

Boonie spirit though, the team came out fighting after the interval and almost snatched the most

unlikely of victories. Some fine bowling by Damian Taylor (5/46) and Todd Payne (2/34) saw the

Coast slump to 8/150 within 6 overs. The last 6 runs came extremely shakily, with the Boonies



Page 44

painstakingly close to removing the Coast tailenders. Despite the loss, the club can be proud of the

fighting performance put in by the side.

In such a successful first season, it is not surprising that there were some stunning individual

performances. In the batting department, Matty Roberts clocked up 698 runs at an average of 77.6,

thereby winning the Moore Park 5th Grade batting average trophy. He scored 2 unbeaten centuries and

5 fifties in his 12 innings this year, with a top score of 125n.o. Damian Taylor led the bowlers, with 50

wickets at 10.8, including four 5 wicket hauls and match best figures of 9/37 over 2 innings. Not

surprisingly, Damian won the Moore Park 5th Grade bowling average trophy.

This is not to say that the team relied excessively on the performance of these individuals. In fact, the

most notable quality of the Boonies is the consistency of abilities among squad members. This enabled

over 30 players to get a game this season.

Finally, thanks must go to the more able members of the Club who assisted in supporting the 7th Grade

concept from the beginning and helped turn our first season into a successful one. Special mention

must be made of Mark Mullen, Jim Dixon and Andrew Jones in this regard. The Boonies were made to

feel extremely welcome and we look forward to contributing more to the club next year.

POIDEVIN GRAY SHIELD REPORT

To say that 1998-99 was a disappointing year for the UNSWCC’s PG side would be an

understatement. From what looked like a promising start to the season against Sutherland (narrowly

losing with 1 over remaining) we played inconsistent cricket thereafter and it took us until the final

game of the season to secure our only victory.

Chasing 256 against Easts we reached their total 2 wickets down in just 39 overs with Rowan Hamman

scoring a magnificent 171no and completely demoralising the opposition. Considering 6 out of our top

7 batsmen played in 2nd grade or above this year, batting performances like this should have been more

frequent.

Tim Cox was our most consistent performer, bowling with unerring accuracy to finish the season with

11 wickets at an average of 19. Well done also to Mick Elliott who batted and bowled steadily

throughout the season.

Thanks must go to Greg Hackney, Disco and to those who came to the matches for their support and

encouragement throughout the season. Thanks also to Andrew Langdon, Daniel Christian and Sam

Pararajasingham who all showed they were more than capable of stepping up to PG’s level.

This year’s season will serve as a source of motivation for those players returning next year and

hopefully provide some good memories for all involved.

A.W.GREEN SHIELD REPORT

1998/99

Expectations for this season were understandably high, with six of the players returning from last year's

side and with the intense off-season preparations which had been made. The season started and

finished brilliantly with some crushing wins over Wests and Randwick. In the middle part, however,

aside from a Daniel Christian inspired annihilation of Petersham-Marrickville, the side was

inexplicably unable to close out games in which they had gained the ascendancy. Once again the

success of the season should be measured beyond the three from seven match winning record. All 13

players in the final squad had developed their game and had become better and more mentally strong

cricketers.

From an individual perspective, Daniel Christian's all-round performances and Andrew Langdon's left

arm orthodox bowling were the highlights. Both these cricketers proved throughout the season that

they are amongst the cream of U/16 cricketers in NSW. Daniel Christian's selection in the Combined

Green Shield side, the first UNSW player to achieve this feat, was just reward for an outstanding

season.

Samuel Pararajasingham co-captained the side with distinction. Sam showed only glimpses of his

considerable talent and class as a top-order batsman, but it was enough to confirm his potential as a

heavy run-scorer for the Club in years to come.

Ben Wolrige with his cool-headed approach to the game, was the major revelation of the season and

should be an exciting young prospect for the Club in future years, in particular next year's Green Shield

season.

Although only playing five of the seven games during the season, the fast hands and tidy work behind

the stumps of wicketkeeper , Mark Tartak, was also praiseworthy.

Anthony Allan's aggressive yet sensible approach to the game was also impressive. His late in the

innings cameos with the bat and his generally accurate medium-paced bowling were invaluable assets

to the side.

Mark Bruce's opening batting was always solid and by season's end he had learnt the value of singles in

wresting the initiative from the opposition.

A combination of misfortune and poor judgement cost Mihkel Wilding the sort of season that he was

capable of producing with the bat. David Kachor's new ball bursts were occasionally destructive.

Shaylin Moodliar's stylish technique and potential went frustratingly unfulfilled throughout the season.

Louis Joseph's leg-break bowling was generally quite reliable. Ian Ornelas was known as the Iceman.

While the experience gained throughout the season by Daniel Tartak should stand him in good stead for

his two future years of Green Shield cricket.

vs Western Suburbs at Blick

UNSW 6 for 240 (D Christian 68 M Wilding 55 A Allan 44) def Wests 130 (D Kachor 3-27, A

Langdon 3-17, D Christian 2-32).



Page 50

This was a total team effort in registering our first win in the opening game. The win was perhaps even

more comprehensive than the final scores might suggest, with Wests being 7 for 30 at one stage during

their chase.

vs Campbelltown at the Village Green

UNSW 130 (M Bruce 28 D Christian 19) lost to Campbelltown 4 for 131 (A Langdon 2-42)

The expectations of a tough game from this strong Campbelltown side were well and truly vindicated.

Some tight bowling and fielding from the Ghosts restricted us at lunch to 2 for 100 from 44 overs. An

inability to find the gaps or run quick singles also contributed to our woes. In the end this paltry total

was not nearly enough against the title favourites, notwithstanding a fiery opening spell from Daniel

Christian and an excellent account of left arm orthodox from Andrew Langdon.

vs St George at Hurstville

UNSW 160 (S Pararajasingham 64 M Bruce 28) lost to St George 2 for 161

Sitting pretty at 1 for 85 after 28 overs, disaster then struck in the form of a batting collapse of

monumental proportions. Losing 7 for 13 in the period just prior to lunch sealed our ultimate defeat.

vs Petersham-Marrickville at the Village Green

UNSW 5 for 280 (D Christian 160 no M Wilding 41 B Wolrige 23no) defeated Petes 8 for 180 ( A

Langdon 2-26 D Christian 2-18)

Clearly this match was most notable for the awesome individual display from Daniel Christian. He

strode to the wicket when the team was on the ropes at 3 for 30, but with his bludgeoning style, turned

the match on its head. On a slow outfield and slow pitch he registered the Club's first Green Shield ton

and the highest individual score from a Green Shield player for the season. This was followed by 12

overs of genuinely rapid bowling which killed the match as a contest after his first six overs.

vs Sutherland at Caringbah

UNSW 150 (S Pararajasingham 32 D Christian 34) lost to Sutherland 7 for 152 ( D Christian 3-30)

Once again the side was unable to capitalise on their strong start, going from 3 for 100 from 40 overs

to self-destructing for 150 in a disappointing display from the middle and late order batting. This

notwithstanding Daniel Christian came out breathing fire and brimstone in a spell which some pundits

said was the fastest seen from an U/16 cricketer. Ably supported by David Kachor, they cut a swathe

through the Sharks top order to have them at 6 for 70. Alas, a stylish unbeaten century from

Sutherland's Dudman snatched a victory from our grasp in the penultimate (59th) over.

vs Eastern Suburbs at Waverley

Easts 138 (A Langdon 4-7) def UNSW 134 (A Allan 34 B Wolrige 36)

Andrew Langdon's absolutely brilliant 12 over (8 maiden) spell of left arm orthodox counted for nought

as we allowed Easts back in to the match after having them 8 for 50. The run chase aborted for want

of maturity. The loss in this game was the season's nadir.

vs Randwick at David Phillips North

UNSW 4 for 240 (S Pararajasingham 46 M Bruce 48 D Christian 83no A Allan 40) defeated

Randwick 80 (A Langdon 3-17 B Wolrige 4-12)



Page 51

It was a credit to the character of the team to bounce back so strongly from the result of the previous

match. An almost flawless all-round team performance ensured our emphatic victory. An end to the

season which could not have been better scripted also provided opportunity to reflect on what might

have been had the team realised this potential earlier in the season.

Regardless of the results on the field, the institution by the Club of a side in the Green Shield

competition is certainly a step in the right direction. If properly administered it will ensure the Club

continues to attract a steady stream of quality cricketers to fly the Club's banner in the years to come.

GREEN SHIELD REPORT

1997/98

The Club took a plunge into the deep end in its historic decision to enter a team in the A W Green

Shield competition. Fourteen under 16 cricketers were assembled from all over Sydney to represent the

Club in its inaugural season.

In what was always going to be a harsh initiation for all involved, both players and the Club, the

performance of the team was admirable. Notable individual performances during the season included

half tons to Daniel Christian and Samuel Pararajasingham, and a five wicket haul to Mihkel Wilding.

The able and often inspirational leadership of Joshua Hill also deserves special mention.

The development of individual players and the team as a whole throughout the course of the season was

one of the many pleasing aspects to come out of this historic year. The invaluable experience of this

inaugural season will undoubtedly be the stepping stone for improvement in future years, most notably

by the six returning players in 1998/99.

Although the winless season might suggest otherwise, this season was a creditable success. The Club

extends its congratulations to the fine efforts of all members of this inaugural UNSWCC Green Shield

team.

LADIES’ TEAM REPORT

The past season has been one of our best for a while in that we only just missed out on a position in the

semi-finals. This was a result of a number of late-in-the-season wins, which has given us a great deal

of confidence for the next season starting at the end of the year.

Our main problem yet again was the recurring nightmare of not fielding a full team. Each season we

seem to have a real problem with drop-offs after Christmas, so we will have to ensure that we have a

larger number of reserve players next time. However, we are very pleased with the core team we have

established this year.

In the batting, Carols and Anne C made a formidable opening team, facing without fear the fastest

bowlers in the grade, leaving Gemma and Cassandra room to score the majority of the runs (which they

did).

Gemma was forced to retire (on 50) twice this season, ending with an aggregate of 197 and an average

of 24.6. Our newest recruit of now legendary status, Cassandra, scored six half centuries with a top

score of 88 n.o to end the season on a whopping 434 runs and an average of 62. These great figures,

along with a bowling average of 13.2 (24 wickets), earned Cass the SWCA trophy for Player of the

Year, as well as highest batting aggregate and highest batting average. Well done Cass!

Wendles and El also batted extremely well in the mid order and along with Lisa, Jill, Nina, Kay, and

Chissa, were always there to score a winning run, or at least to stay in while Cassandra could score.

Our bowling improved a great deal this season. Gemma, our scariest fast bowler for years, took the

honours with 21 wickets at a match winning average of 8.3. Along with Cass, Jill and El made up our

fiercesome bowling attack ending with 10 wickets apiece and averages of 21.5 and 27.2 respectively.

Anne C, Lisa, Nina, and Carols each made their own little contribution when necessary and even got a

few wickets too.

Our fielding also was very tight this season. Even without Ang diving all over the place we managed to

find the inspiration to put our bodies on the line time and time again. Some fantastic catches were

made and our main concern next season will be to block all those gaps by actually having a full team.

That said, we look forward to next season being the most successful yet! See you in the finals!!
