Chairman’s Report
We did not have great representation in the men’s first
class arena but James Crosthwaite was selected to play
in a Cricket NSW XI v Country ; the ACT in the State
League and was finally rewarded with a NSW Rookie
Contact at the end of the season.
The Board of the Sydney Cricket Club has the pleasure
st
of presenting for your consideration the Club’s 1 annual
Report covering the 2007/08 season.
The Club’s Financial Statements are included and they
will require adoption at the Annual General Meeting of
the Club.
Second grade were under the direction of Richard
Colbran and suffered from a number of weather-effected
draws that came along with some close losses. Their
position in the bottom third of the table did not reflect the
ability in the team. Testament to this was the graduation
to First Grade of Evan Dix, Anthony Brooks and Luke
Donovan.
The 2007/08 season saw the Club take its very first step
on a journey to launch us to a new era in our Club’s
history.
Of course I’m referring to the decision for us to join in
partnership with the Sydney Cricket and Sports Ground
Trust to form the Sydney Cricket Club. The Club has
taken on a new persona along the lines of the famous
Clubs at London (Marylebone) and Melbourne.
However we have brought with us 110 years of Tiger
tradition, Tiger spirit and the famous Black and Gold
colours.
Our most consistent performers with the bat were Ian
Burge and Andrew Watkins while our attack saw the
development of promising bowlers in Angus Moncrieff
and Anthony Lown, well supported by a couple of
stalwarts in Andrew Hoppett and skipper, Richard
Colbran.
rd
Neil Maxwell commenced the season as 3 Grade
captain but a number of enforced absences saw Nick
Bull step into the job. It was a tough season for thirds
and their position on the table reflected the relative
inexperience of the playing personnel.
A combination of that history and commitment to the
venture by our members and administrators will see the
Club succeed at many levels in the years to come. I am
sure we will look back in years to come and mark this
season as one of the most important, if not the most
important, in the Club’s long and illustrious history.
th
Similarly 4 Grade had a trying season but it was
heartening to see a resurgence in their season toward
the end with 2 wins from their last 3 matches. The
emergence of some promising youngsters should be
rewarded with better individual and team performances
at this level next season and hopefully it will give us the
opportunity to build on our strong finish.
Unfortunately we didn’t mark the season with any
premiership success but we did achieve the
establishment of a playing and administrative
infrastructure that will serve the Club well in its quest for
success and recognition both on and off the field.
In our men’s teams the highlight was the performance of
our First Grade team. Under the astute leadership of our
new skipper, Jon Moss, the team rallied after a poor
start to reach the end of season finals. Unfortunately
their run of success was stopped at the qualifying semi
stage when we faltered against a strong Eastern
Suburbs line-up. Nevertheless, with strengthening in a
few positions, the signs are good for continuing success
in the years to come. Personally there were some
stellar performances, including:•
•

th
Our 5 Grade was dealt some hard knocks during the
season and it was one that could be called” characterbuilding.” Despite this, the team, its captain, Andrew
Downie, and its players must be commended on the way
they kept turning up with enthusiasm each week seeking
that elusive win.
th
The 6 Grade team was kept in check by Marty Keetles
who suffered continually throughout the season because
of our relative lack of experience and playing depth.
Jon Moss’ outstanding all round contribution –
618 runs & 39 wickets
James Crosthwaite’s maiden Club century – 103
v St. George
Adam Maher’s continuing improvement to
become a feared strike bowler – 33 wickets @
20.2
Andrew Donovan’s graduation to a genuine
st
wicket-taker at 1 Grade level, taking 5/59 in his
nd
2 First Grade match.
Tim Sparke’s magnificent century (171) against
Randwick-Petersham
Russel Arnold’s maiden century (148) against
Parramatta
Our Poidevin-Gray and Green Shield teams were not as
successful as we would have hoped. Wins were hard to
come by at both levels. A concerted effort in these
important competitions will be required to improve our
record with these teams.
As can be seen the recurrent theme through the grades
was a lack of depth and experience. The importance of
the loss of many players whom we had relied on in the
past cannot be overstated and was largely responsible
for some disappointing performances in our lower
grades. It is an issue that we will have to address next
season if we are to seriously threaten for a premier
position throughout the grades and the Club
Championship.

st
Our women’s 1 Grade was unable to defend the
premiership won the previous season and given the
playing talent in the team, their semi final loss was
disappointing. As always the representative season
played havoc with the team and proved a real test of our
playing depth.
operation of the Club.
At the representative level Leonie Coleman, Nicole
Goodwin, Ellyse Perry, Rene Farrell and Alyssa Healy
were all part of. the Breakers team while we also had
English International, Jenny Gunn as our Captain and
Coach.Leonie and Ellyse played for the Southern Stars
against the touring English team. Alyssaand Rene
represented the under 21 (Shooting Stars) team. The
Club’s Award for the outstanding Women’s player was
awarded to Alyssa Healy who topped the batting
averages and aggregate.
The Club’s affairs were managed by our new General
Manager, Daryl Chappelow, and I would like to thank
him for his work in guiding the Club in this most
important of Seasons. Daryl had with him a hardworking Operations Committee and to them and its
Chairman, Tim Smith, also goes my appreciation.
My congratulations go to our First Grade scorer, Narelle
Johnston who was again appointed to a number of
International matches. Narelle deserves the generous
praise she receives from officials for her scoring work
Season 2007/08 was also marked by a number of firsts
for the Club. To mention a few of the more important we
had the Official Launch of the Club by the Hon. Nathan
Rees, M.P; the Club’s Presentation Night at the SCG
and the conduct of our first “Out” match at the SCG
against St George DCC for the Tiger Cup;
rd
Our 3 Grade team performed consistently throughout
the season and were also semi finalists. Strong
individual performances came from Sam Fitzpatrick and
Cherie Buksh with the bat and Gail De Jong and Karin
Crisp with the ball.
All of these initiatives would not have been achieved
without the input of an effective Board. In this regard I
must first thank the Club President and Trust Chairman,
Rodney Cavalier who has played such an important role
in ensuring the new venture came to fruition and who
continues to support the Club in such a dedicated
manner. In addition I would like to congratulate Mr
Rodney Cavalier on receiving an Honorary Doctorate
from UTS for his tireless efforts over a long period, to
ensure the Institution obtained University status.
Our Brewer Shield team was a very young outfit and
while they suffered on the field this season, the
experience gained should be rewarded in coming
seasons as several youngsters progress through the
grades.
We also had an Under 14 team representing the Club in
the Northern Sydney Girls Cricket Competition and my
thanks go to Denis O’Brien and Steve Hodgkinson for
coaching and managing this team.
I would also like to congratulate my other Board
members for their enormous contribution in ensuring the
well being of the Club on all levels and for their
assistance in making the new venture a reality. Their
continued support will lead to bigger and better things
for the Club as we go forward into the brave, new world
of the Sydney Cricket club
On the coaching front, David Kelly was once again at
the helm. David conducted our training sessions with
100% commitment and a concerted work ethic that
should have been rewarded with more wins. It is to be
hoped that next season all that hard work and a strong
pre-season will lead to more success on the field.
The redevelopment of Drummoyne Oval is a “work in
progress” as we go through the administrative process
of Draft Plans, Public Exhibitions and Development
Applications. Nevertheless there is a real commitment
to the proposal at both Council and Club level that will
see work commence in 2008/09.
We hosted a number of representative matches at
Drummoyne Oval during the season – a State League
match; a KFC Big Bash trial and a Women’s ODI that
unfortunately had to be abandoned. Drummoyne Oval
suffered in the wake of what must have been the wettest
season for almost 20 years and a number of matches
were interrupted or abandoned because of the weather.
On the subject of Drummoyne Oval we are fortunate to
have such a fine relationship with the City of Canada
Bay Council and in particular with Mayor Angelo
Tsirekas and General Manager, Gary Sawyer. I am most
appreciative of both Angelo and Gary’s support in
ensuring we have the best possible facilities at
Drummoyne and their ongoing advocacy of the
redevelopment of the Oval.
The loss of Ryde Oval had a major impact on the Club
as it meant ELS Hall and Jubilee Oval were elevated to
a level of cricket to which they were probably not suited.
The rain and the lack of ideal preparation at these two
grounds added to our frustration as too many matches
were played on inferior surfaces.
I would also like to thank the SCG Trust, and its CEO,
Jamie Barkley, in particular, for his unstinting support of
the Club this season. Whether it was the opportunity to
utilise the Trust’s hospitality, the maintenance of our
equipment, the provision of sponsor’s products and
auction items or generally whatever we requested,
Jamie and his staff were always there to lend generous
support.
A Club like ours cannot function without a dedicated
band of volunteers and we are fortunate to have such a
group who have a real desire to see the Club grow and
prosper. I would like to thank people like Glen Harding,
Geoff Dix, Anne Golder, Narelle Johnston, Donna
Shestowsky, Phil Lown, Brian Lulham, Stan Dochniak,
Col Jefferies and Bill Johnston who willingly give of their
time to make such an important contribution to the
7
In closing, let me take this opportunity to thank all
members who go to make up our Club. You have all
played a part in making the Club what it is today and for
that you can be truly pleased.
th
In this the 7 year of our partnership with UTS, the
relationship continues to be very positive and I am most
grateful to their Vice Chancellor, Ross Milbourne and his
nominee, Tom O’Sullivan for their assistance in
maintaining the alliance that continues to serve as both
so well. I am most conscious of the role played by the
University in the Club and I look forward to
strengthening that role even more in the years ahead.
Let’s make 2008/09 a season when we advance those
objectives and make the Sydney Cricket Club an even
more special place with which to play and embrace the
grand, old game.
The Club would like to thank Cricket NSW and its CEO,
David Gilbert, and his staff for their support and
assistance during the season.
The structure and the form are now in place for us to
take the Club to exciting new places in the world of
cricket. I commend to you all the ideal of being a part of
this future.

We are fortunate to have such a grand ally in

and continued support of the Club
In addition, the Club contributed a weekly report in
the Inner Western Weekly. We also thank that
publication and its reporters for their support in the
promotion of the Club.

publicity cannot be overstated. Once again, I

being somewhat “sporting”. Hopefully we will be
faced with better weather next season and the
pitches will return to a level that will provide for
better cricket. We would like to thank Council’s
Peter Montague, Peter Hickman, Graeme Hanse
and Ritchie Griffiths
Unfortunately Ryde Oval was unavailable for the
entire season due to major reconstruction of the
pitch square and its facilities
The Club’s Fifth Grade and Metropolitan Cup
utilised the facilities at Jubilee Oval, Glebe. To be
frank both teams were faced with inferior
conditions on most occasions. Unfortunately
Council’s contractor seemed to use any sign of
bad weather as a reason to delay or minimise
preparation and we were continually faced with
abandonments or poor playing conditions. The
one good note toward the end of the season was
Council’s appointment of a new contractor. It is
hoped this will lead to a significant improvement
next season.
The season was one of the wettest in recent
memory and the impact on pitch preparation was
significant for both the pre-match preparation and
play on match day.
On too many occasions we were faced with match
abandonments or we played on pitches that were
underprepared because of the bad weather in the
days leading-up to Saturday.
When the weather gods were kind to us, the pitch
at Drummoyne was excellent and provided for
good cricket. Adam Evison, our groundsman,
worked hard under difficult circumstances on
some occasions and we are grateful for the time
and effort he put into his work.
Our women’s teams played at Birchgrove Oval
and our sincere thanks are expressed to the staff
at Leichhardt Council for their assistance.
We continue to enjoy an extremely harmonious
and satisfying relationship with all four Local
Government bodies and we thank the City of
Canada Bay, the City of Ryde, the City of Sydney,
and Leichhardt Council for their ongoing
courtesies and co-operation.
ELS Hall was maintained by Ryde Council and
also suffered because of the weather and less
than ideal conditions for proper preparation. This
probably contributed to some of match pitches

Obituaries
Joe Hall
Joe Hall was a Vice President of our Club for some 27
years before his passing in 2007. You could always
rely on Joe to appear at a game at Drummoyne in
support of the Firsts or the Seconds – usually around
afternoon tea- and add his personal touch to the
proceedings with a great story about some current
event.
Whilst his major support was to be at Drummoyne, you
could often find him slipping down to three’s at Ryde or
the fifths at ELS hall just to check on how these teams
were going. His financial commitment to the Club over
many years was greatly appreciated.

Coach’s Report
It gives me great pleasure to present the 2007/08
Coaches Report. Over the course of the year, I
would like to commend the commitment of each
player for their attendance and performance at
training. We had a new club and a new approach
to cricket. Although the results weren’t as
consistent on the field as everyone would have
liked, the work ethic at training was always 100%.
Next season we will see the benefits of all the
hard work done in 07/08, however, we need to
continue that hard work with a strong off season a
strong pre-season and most importantly during
the season proper to get the results we desire.
Remember training is split into many different
areas all headed into preparing you for the
weekend’s game. You need to be physically and
mentally ready to play at your maximum potential
every weekend!
will need to score hundreds to go up the grades.
We needed to change our culture to succeed and
this will be an ongoing approach. Vince Lombardi
was once quoted as saying “the harder we worked
as a team, the luckier we became”, very wise
words. Our fitness sessions were also very well
received, (after the initial shock) especially the
sprint program from the NSWIS. Luke Donovan,
Marcus Tripp and Nathan Ball lead the way all
year with the fitness results/ highest scores
recorded in the club.
In a season of few highlights, the main
achievement that everyone can be proud of is the
First grade team making the finals after an
unbelievable last round victory
Finally, I would like to thank the following people
for their support and guidance throughout the
year:
The support I received from the senior players in
the club was appreciated, especially the captains.
A team is only as good as the leadership it is
shown and I believe this was one of our real
strengths. To Jon Moss, Richard Colbran, Neil
Maxwell, Tim Smith, Andrew Downie and Martin
Keetles, you led from the front on and off the field
and you need to be congratulated for the role you
played in the development of the younger players
in the club.
I had a simple philosophy towards training, work
everyone in the club hard and improve everyone’s
approach to preparing for cricket each weekend.
Once the hard work was done it was then a matter
of preparing mentally for the game ahead and our
leadership group and seminars worked well in
supplying a very positive framework for every
player in the club. Although the results showed
otherwise, we really contested each game with a
winning attitude and next year this needs to
continue. With more depth in our batting, players

The Inaugural Tiger Cup
20 December 2007
December 20 2007 saw the Club take its first step
in its ambition of providing for special “out”
matches for its social playing division. The match
celebrated the anniversary of the birth of Bill
“Tiger” O’Reilly and was played at the Sydney
Cricket Ground between Sydney and St. George
D.C.C. (Bill’s old Club).
Director, Neil Maxwell’s innings was brief but Neil
explained this by declaring that he had a ton of
corporate business awaiting his attention. Mark
Atkinson (46) took control of the lower order
recovery and with former Test off spinner, Gavin
Robertson (11), and NSW leg spinner, Adrian
Tucker (28no) rallied the home sie to a formidable
score of 9(dec) -249 at the end of their 50 overs.
The Sydney and St.George XI’s include a mix of
current and former players who had graced their
clubs with distinction over many seasons.
The Tigers felt they were probably 50 short of a
winning score but didn’t reckon (neither did St.
George) with the fiery opening spell of former
Australian quick, Simon Cook. Cook defied
niggling injuries, a flat track and a tight-fitting shirt
as he summoned up the pace that saw him take
five for on his Test debut.
The match was eventually decided by the
statisticians when rain intervened at about
3.30p.m with Sydney well in front according to the
technological assessment of Messrs. Duckworth
and Lewis.
Cook quickly had 2 of Saints’s current first graders
back in the shed. At 2-11 off 6 overs Cook sought
the comforts of the dressing room himself. Moss,
O’Shannessy and Healy took up the bowling and
each was rewarded with a wicket.
Sydney had first use of the pitch and Grade’s all
time run champion, Greg Hayne and Vilen Sithloo
got the Tigers away to a solid start of 43 before
Sithloo departed. Hayne carried on like he was
ready to return to regular cricket, then ran out an
unlucky Rod Tucker, who was backing up too far
and was left stranded mid wicket Current skipper,
Jon Moss, set about demolishing the middle order
with a series of dubious calls that left both Hayne
and Colbran short of the crease.
When the rains came with Saints 5-88, still 60
short of the required run rate, all the combatants
sought refuge in the home dressing room and
reminisced about old times, old adversaries and
the enjoyment of a great day’s cricket and good
fellowship.
Moss redeemed himself with a swashbuckling 77
off 66 balls and guided Alyssa Healy (12) through
a 48 run partnership before falling to an outfield catch.

Men’s First Grade Report
James Crosthwaite
Crossy has been rewarded with a NSW rookie
contract this year for making such a great impression
on the Sydney cricket scene. For someone who has
committed to moving from two states to follow his
dream of playing cricket professionally, this cricket
NSW contract is hopefully the start of a successful
st
career. His maiden 1 grade century v premiers St
George was extremely impressive and most
importantly started to turn selector’s heads. Well
done on the contract Crossy and now there’s no
excuses for lack of funds in your mobile!
Life can be all about being in the right place at the
right time, and I certainly felt that was the case when
Neil Maxwell and Simon Cook approached me to be
the inaugural captain of the new Sydney Cricket
Club. After 7 years of first class cricket in Melbourne
I was looking forward to passing on the knowledge
I’ve gained over that time to some young talented
cricketer’s whom I had never seen or met. Therefore,
without judgment, I was able to decide for myself
whether I could attempt to expose such talent.
In all honesty, the findings this season have been
remarkable. The unearthing of talent has been one
of the highlights of the season for me. James
Crosthwaite, Tim Sparke, Adam Maher and Luke
Donovan stood out as very realistic contenders to
play higher levels.
Nathan Ball
2007/08 season was great learning curve for Bally
after such a successful year in 06/07. As is always
the case, when a player reaches good heights, the
opposition always aims to pull you down. There lies
awesome amounts of talent with Bally, with both bat
and ball, and hopefully this off season in the UK has
taught him a great deal of responsibility to ensure he
doesn’t leave the job to anyone else. You have the
ability Bally, make sure you’re prepared for each
battle and you’ll kill it next season. 250 runs @ 27
and 16 wickets @ 35 is a massive under
achievement. My challenge to you is 500 runs and
40 wickets.
Looking back and being knocked out of the first
round of finals was probably a fair indication of our
season. We were consistent at times without being
outstanding, but then really lacked that killer instinct
to allow us to progress further.
Each player however, at some point proved they
have what it takes to be not only a successful first
grader, but could possibly play at the next level.
Adam Maher
Willy was one of the finds of the year, not just in our
club, but the whole of Sydney Grade cricket. Willy’s
bowling improved out of sight and produced spells
that would not look out of place on the SCG playing
for NSW. It’s no secret Willy trained the house down
in pre season, and it’s no secret he reaped the
rewards during it. There were many highlights with
the ball amongst his 33 wickets @ 20, but ironically it
was with the bat that he had the whole team wanting
to hug him. Willy’s 26no to get us home v Bankstown
to make the finals was arguably the highlight of the
season and one he’ll never forget. Well done Willy –
need to push the 50 wicket barrier next season and
you might even sneak up the order?
Anthony Brooks
st
Debut season and scored maiden 1 grade half
century (66no) to defeat North Sydney in round 7.
Brooksy showed fantastic resilience and
determination required for an opening batsman to
bring us home in that game. As he is fully aware, that
same passion is required every time he walks to the
st
crease. Well done a good start to your 1 grade
career Brooksy.
Nidhu Gotadke
Every captain wants a player like Nid’s. Not only for
his ability, but his willingness to fit into the team
dynamics. Nid’s was the bolter through the off
season, proving to the selectors he was good
enough to step up. On so many occasions Nid’s was
asked to do a job either opening the batting or
getting quick runs down the order. Every team needs
a utility player who can adapt to certain situations.
His bowling developed throughout the season with a
best of 4/51 v ND’s. A great team man!!
Tim Sparke
I think it’s fair to say we all know Sparkey is a
sleeping giant. From an ability perspective, Timmy
would agree a return of 480 runs @ 28 is not good
enough for a player of his calibre. Most people
st
wouldn’t know this, but 2 days prior to his highest 1
grade score of 171 v Randwick, Timmy was given an
ultimatum – score runs or you’ll be dropped as he
was only averaging only 15. It showed enormous grit
and character to put in a performance under that
amount of pressure, and when players have the
ability to do that, you never quite know how good
they can become! Aim higher and higher Timmy.
Jarryd Gordon
The flash!! If flash could manage to emulate his
change room antics to the cricket pitch, we’d have an
unbeatable combination. What I did see from flash in
round 6 v Sutherland was a remarkable display of
st
clean and powerful hitting to post his highest 1
grade score of 97no and take us to a memorable
victory that had almost past us by. Bigger is better
flash!!

Craig O’Shannessey
Talk about a competitor! The DISH will be sorely
missed next year. His competitive streak and ability
to turn a match with the ball was a great asset to our
team. As a captain, this man will never let you down.
His passion is unrelenting and his desire for success
exactly what’s required when playing cricket at the
highest level. Thanks for your support mate as my
vice captain and we look forward to seeing you back
soon.
Luke Donovan
Dono’s wish was finally granted when he was picked
st
in 1 grade after some excellent performances in
two’s. Talk about taking to it like a duck to water!
Dono was never daunted by the occasion and
bowled like a man possessed. 13 wickets @ 15 with
a best of 5/59 v Blacktown was an outstanding
performance for his first season. Like Willy Maher,
he trains the house down and it’s no surprise to see
Dono’s success shine through. The second season
is always the most challenging Dono with teams
knowing your skill, but there’s no reason why you
can’t get even better.
Russel Arnold
It’s not often you get to play with an accomplished ex
test player, who is happy to relay all the knowledge
learned over an extended test career. Rusty has fit
into our club so well that the boys can’t seem to get
enough of him. With only 4 innings, Rusty amassed
242 runs @ 80 and proved why he has been able to
mix it with the best from all over the world. He will
join us again after his ICL commitments and we
cherish his input and look forward to welcoming him
back to the team.
On a final note, I would like to thank the support I
received from Simon Cook as chairman of selectors
and the wonderful meals his wife, Di used to serve
up at selection meetings. To all the other captains,
your support is invaluable. Also, Daryl Chappelow as
club general manager for all your efforts through the
season.
Thanks and let’s look forward to an exciting 2008/09.

Men’s 2nd Grade Report
nd
In 2007/08 Sydney Cricket Club’s inaugural 2
th
Grade side finished 15 on the ladder and
recorded 5 first innings wins (including 2 bonus
points) and 2 draws from 17 matches.
opposing captains, players and supporters
commented and congratulated us on.
A few highlights included a superb end of day
victory from behind against Northern Districts, the
well constructed and professional victory over
2006-07 Premiers – Mosman and Russel Arnold
joining us for Day 1 against Blacktown at
Drummoyne. For those reading this in years to
come I would like to remind you of Luke
Donovan’s disappointment of a dropped catch
against Sutherland, Gus Moncrieff’s
transformation from regulation trundler to ‘crazy
eyed’ wicket taker while bowling against
Parramatta and there may also be a need to relive the drinks break during the rain interrupted
match against Gordon.
24 players represented the team throughout the
season yet only 3 players that played in the first
game played in the last. Often ‘rebuilding’ is used
as an explanation for lower than expected
performance but replacing the quantity of players
necessary this season proved difficult. Despite
this, the new breed demonstrated their abilities
and the potential for an exciting new era for the
Cub. The challenge for players like Angus
Moncrieff, David Johnston, Anthony Lown, John
Smith and Justin Moore is for them to become the
nd
dominant 2 Grade players like Maxwell, Maher,
Donovan, Poria and Dix before them.
Good luck to everyone for next season. I am
confident 2008/09 will be a strong year as the
Sydney Cricket Club cements itself and the new
age of young players coming through the ranks
find their feet and confidence at senior level.
On reflection the team played better cricket than
its overall position warranted. We had genuine
chances to win 4 of the matches lost, which if
won, would have resulted in us leap frogging the
pack of teams in front to land and us safely into
the semis.
Long live the Tigers!
In saying this it is important to acknowledge there
were serious deficiencies in particular aspects of
our game which need to be improved. To be
successful we will need more than one of our top
batsman scoring over 500 runs, we will need 3
bowlers taking more than 30 wickets and we will
need all of our catches taken. It sounds simple but
translating the training into performances on the
field and making the most of every opportunity are
hopefully some of the key learnings for members
of this team over the course of the season.
Richard Colbran
Captain
To review the contribution of our players this
season Cameron Lane
I would like to pay special tribute to Laney. His
support, assistance and encouragement
throughout the season was superb and he
continues to be a fantastic contributor to the club.
He understands and loves Tiger ‘culture’, again
demonstrated excellent keeping skills and led the
team on a few occasions very well. As he
develops his leadership skills he will start to
translate his passion and knowledge so the young
guys can easily digest it, plus it would be great to
see him contribute more runs – hopefully this will
happen next year.
I would like to sincerely send my thanks to our
loyal volunteers and supporters, who without we
could not have functioned. I would particularly like
to thank our official scorer Donna Shestowsky,
back up scorer #1 Phil Lown, back up scorer #2
Laurie Lane and of course Bill Johnston who
volunteered to take over the vacated Team
Managers role. I would also like to send our
thanks and regards to Adam for doing his best
with Drummoyne Oval during possibly the wettest
season in recent memory, everyone involved with
the canteen (and afternoon teas) and to Daryl
Chappelow for his support as General Manager
and Coach - David Kelly.
Ian Burge
Burgey again showed his value as a senior player
and an invaluable member of this team. He
consistently batted well, for long periods and held
the top order together. His experience and
willingness to work with, and support, the younger
players was a telling factor in the development of
many of them and also the team’s successes.
thoroughly deserved his selection this season and
he reinforced that selection with a number of
excellent performances and ended up toping the
Overall we had a good season. We had a number
of players who were on step learning curves and
we competed and contested against every team.
It was a truly enjoyable season playing with a
group of guys who tried their best, were willing to
learn, trained hard and did improve. Most
importantly every player represented the Club in a
manner that we can all be proud, and which many
21
Andrew Hoppett
There isn’t a bloke at the Club who has given
more to play at a senior level than Hoppy. He
bowling averages (17.6 with 24 wickets). I truly
hope he looks backs on this season with fondness
as it gave all of us so much to see a guy in his
mid-30’s so desperate not only to play but
compete at this level. The best thing was his
bowling improved throughout the season as he
got used to different styles of play and various
conditions. Congrats Hoppy on a fantastic season!
Anthony Lown
nd
Lowny has the chance to fill the void in 2 Grade
st
left by Luke Donovan’s promotion to 1 Grade,
plus (you heard it here first) to join Dono to
become the Tiger’s next spin twins (which is a
very scary thought). For an 18 year old leg
nd
spinner to average 18 in his first season in 2
grade is fantastic and demonstrates his potential.
First though, he needs a lot of hard work on every
aspect of his game and he needs to continue to
learn how to read the game and batsmen. Lowny
needs to challenge and drive himself to take
significant leaps in his on-field contribution. I have
no doubt he can do this and we saw dramatic
improvements this year in his fielding particularly
off his own bowling.
Andrew Watkins
I don’t think Wato would mind me saying that his
season sums up a lot about the team’s season - a
lot of potential, some amazing cricket but overall
probably below expectation. He deserved to top
the aggregates but to have a top score of 58 is
disappointing. Wato could score a lot of grade
runs, he could help teams win a lot of matches
and he could play a lot of first grade but now after
a few season with the Tigers it is up to him if he is
going to transfer these ‘coulds’ into ‘dids’. I hope
he does it as he has a lot of to offer the Club and
those playing with him.
Lowny you have played a full season of ‘big boys
cricket’ – you need to start next year as a leader
nd
of 2 Grade and dominant the bowling attack with
long spells and big wicket hauls. Good luck.
David Johnston
DJ could be the find of the year for the Tigers.
After starting in 4’s from the Central Coast he
deserved his selection up the grades and
subsequently into 2’s. He also deserved to hold
his spot in the team and contributed at all times
with great heart and intent. DJ is a talented and
solid cricketer, his challenge now after a full grade
season is to translate his skills into consistent onfield performances. Hundreds and five wicket
hauls have to be DJ’s goals for next season and
anything less would be disappointing.
Vil Sithloo
2007/08 was an interesting season for Vil. His onfield performances after coming back from first
grade were disappointing, especially as the team
was looking to rely on him. Yet his demeanor after
coming back to 2’s was outstanding and
confirmed his season was not a failure. He
showed so much maturity, it was great to see him
develop into a senior club player. A guy of his
ability should score 90 runs from 8 innings only
once in a career, and I hope he uses it to define
his future successes.
I would like to send a sincere thanks to both DJ
and his Dad – Bill, for their contribution to the
team and Club in their first season with the Tigers
and I truly hope that they enjoyed the season at
their new home. They are both now true
Balmainiacs!
Angus Moncrieff
Gus’s 5-wicket hall against the premiers Mosman
was a highlight of the year; so too his individual
spells to ex-NSW players Marty Haywood
(Mosman) and Matthew Phelps (Syd Uni). The
most pleasing aspect of the way Gus finished the
season in comparison to the start was the way he
worked through a bout of poor form to regain the
swing and bite that will make him a future Tiger
first grader. Gus is a great bloke, who is a real
asset to our Club and with some extra strength
and a little bit more ‘mongrel’ at the crease he has
the chance to be a genuine wicket taker who can
bowl teams out.
Justin Moore
Justin’s introduction and then debut with the
Tigers will be a story long told at the Club. After
fielding as a sub and taking a good catch against
Gordon during a visit to watch his Central Coast
mate (DJ) followed by a few reference checks and
a clearance from his club he completed the last
part of the season in Tigers. Still to complete his
schooling, Justin will be one of the new breed. He
has definitely got the talent to play at this level
and beyond. His goal will be to cement his
position in the coming season; if he does that he
will have scored heavily and a senior batting
position will have been filled.
A highlight of playing cricket on Drummoyne Oval
this season was seeing Gus charge up the hill and
bowling beautiful and almost unplayable out
swing. Good luck next season Gus, a big season
with great success is there for you.
22
Marcus Tripp
Trippy deserves to be recognized as a great club
man. He was selected to open the batting at the
start of the year and gave it his best but
unfortunately he could not put the scores on the
board yet he put aside his disappointed and
continued his fantastic contribution to the Club
and support to this team which we were all
thankful. Hopefully with another year of
experience he can secure, through weight of runs,
nd
a batting spot in 2 Grade.
John Smith
Another of the ‘potential’ gang – and he has loads
of it. It is worth registering in this report that, but
nd
for a stinker of a decision, his first ball in 2 grade
would have seen ex-NSW batsman Matthew
Phelps out LBW. For a new kid on the block
Smithy bowled very well when he played 2’s in the
last month of the season, I think his big challenge
now will be to listen and convert the advice of
those like Simon Cook into action on the field.
Luke Donovan
Dono’s progression to, and then subsequent
success in, first grade is an achievement the Club
can be tremendously proud of - another Tiger cub
developed from juniors to the senior grade who is
not only a true Tiger but also fine young man. He
started in 2nds a few ago as a shy and quiet
young boy with a fairly strong belief in his own
bowling. He left seconds as the competitions best
spinner, capable of bowling teams out at any time
on any pitch.
Andrew Plummer
Plums had an interesting season during his debut
year with the Tigers. He obviously has the talent
with both bat and ball but we didn’t see the best of
him nor the consistency required to retain or then
regain his spot. Hopefully next season he will get
nd
the performances on the board to secure a 2
Grade spot.
Suhaas Kaushik
I hope Suhaas – a new comer to the Club,
enjoyed his time not only in 2’s but also at
Tigerland. It was a shame he couldn’t get the runs
behind him necessary at this level but he certainly
showed promise, and hopefully next season he
will be able to convert some big scores.
Evan Dix
st
As with Dono, Evan’s promotion to 1 Grade is a
fine achievement for the Club and also recognition
of Evan’s perseverance and dedication to cricket
and the Club. He thoroughly deserved his
selection in first grade – he is a dominant second
grade batsman, and displayed this on many
occasions none more so than recording the
nd
season’s highest 2 Grade score (115 vs
Parramatta).
Josh Murphy
It was a shame injury hampered Josh’s season as
he bowled encouragingly well during his stints in
2’s. With the development of Gus, Hoppy and
Johno Smith having Josh’s left arm mediums
would have been a real bonus to our attack. I
hope he manages to force his way back into the
team next season.
Anthony Brooks
To get promoted Brooksy did what everyone says
you have to do but few understand – he accepted
responsibility as a batsman and scored a lot of
runs. He deserved his selection in 1’s and after he
left our batting was much weaker – an indication
of his contribution in the first few matches.
Jacob Maher
Unfortunately Jacob did not get the chance to play
nd
more than one game for 2 Grade, but his
enthusiasm during his stint was outstanding.
Again, being new to the club hopefully he can get
some strong results under his belt.
Marty Brooks
It is excellent that Marty got his chance to debut in
nd
2 Grade this season and I am sure it gave him
the chance to see where his game needs to be to
play at this level consistently. I don’t think he
should shy away from undertaking the role of an
all rounder as he showed talent in both
disciplines. Fielding and commitment to cricket
and the club are real strengths and aspects of his
game that could make him a valuable team
member at this level.
Russel Arnold
nd
There aren’t too many 2 Grade sides that can
boast an international test and one-dayer in their
ranks but it was fantastic to welcome Rusty into
the team – albeit for one day; but his willingness
to be involved with the team was much
appreciated.
Andrew Ware
Warey is a great team player who always
contributes and proves his worth when he plays. It
is a shame he is not available more often due to
his commitments to the NSW Blues.
Jay Poria
Jay felt the pressure this year of trying to fulfill his
own, and others, expectations following his
incredible rise to first grade and State U19
representative honours. He is a great guy with a
heap of potential and I truly hope he finds the will
to continue his cricket and I also hope the club
helps him through this process.
23
Neil Maxwell
Another of the youngsters who showed promise
and with a little bit of hard work, a willingness to
listen to others advice and the odd ‘long hard look
in the mirror’ may help this podgy medium pacer
develop in a decent all rounder who may then
possibly receive an irregular call up when injuries
and vacancies require plugging.
In all seriousness, it was fantastic to have Neil
play in our final game at Drummoyne Oval against
the 2006/07 Premiers – Mosman. Our solid victory
- thanks largely to Maxi’s great spell against their
upper order, was a fitting end to the season and
possibly his last grade match at Drummoyne.
Although his dismissal on the last ball of Day 1
shouldn’t be forgotten (and won’t be by those who
need to pass on the odd friendly reminder to Mr.
Maxwell in years to come).

Men’s Third Grade Report
The season for 3s was one that flashed with
individual brilliance, but failed to shine with
consistent performances. Ultimately it was a
disappointing season as we won only 3 games
and finished near the bottom. However neither
weather nor fate were on our side, culminating in
a number of draws or close losses that might have
seen us push for a mid-table finish to the season.
rd
The 3 grade side suffered from a mixture of
inexperience and poor form, rather than a depth of
potential. Despite the unconvincing results and
statistics, many of this side will form integral parts
of 1s, 2s and 3s in the years to come.
Following 3 washouts, the next game was against
a second placed Sydney Uni. It was a game that
could have set up our latter season with the belief
that we could beat the top sides, but the 22 run
loss left us with no chance of making the finals.
Our performance was riddled with simple
mistakes. We’d have been struggling to catch a
bus home, let alone a cricket ball. Here Vamsy
and Suhass should be mentioned; they do catch
the bus – from Bondi – to every single training and
game. This dedication, along with the fact that
they moonlight as the Indian cricket team’s
aggressive personal bodyguards, has made them
interesting and extremely valued characters at the
club.
The season started promisingly, with ex-NSW
veteran Neil Maxwell at the reins and many
rd
th
members of highly successful past 3 and 4
grade sides in the mix. We had our best result in
round 2, defeating St George outright with a
convincing result. Andrew Plummer with a well
earned 95, something he failed to replicate later in
the season – possibly a result of the frustration
arising from his consistent pre-game traffic
incidents. Mark Baker also took the only ‘5 for’ for
the season with an amazing 7-18 in the first
innings that set up the win. Bakes will be back
next season.
The second last game of the season vs Mosman
demonstrated the capacity of the 3s team. It was
a comprehensive win over the minor premiers
following another 300+ performance with the bat.
All the batsmen contributed, Marcus Tripp found
his feet at number 5 and Matt Grice provided an
exciting display with 46. Gricey and Trippy are
great clubmen, they are an example of passion
and pride in the Tiger’s colours each time they
walk onto the field.
The major positive to come out of the season was
the emergence of a group of talented younger
players, most of whom played in the PGs side.
Marty Brooks, Darren Smith, Jacob Maher, Jono
Smith, Dan Jacob, Marcus Tripp, Josh Murphy,
Andrew Plummer, James Pryde, Angelo Joseph
and Jonathon New are all individuals under
pressure to provide a resurgence throughout the
grades when they mature as cricketers. While
there was a problem with consistency each of
them demonstrated ability to perform above
expectations, rewarded by several appearances in
2nds. Marty and Smithy in particular, who both
narrowly missed out on centuries, were
instrumental in the successful performances of the
nd
side and will be striving for 2 grade starts in the
coming season.
The next 4 rounds saw us lose our captain to
injury and exorbitant IPL salaries, as well as our
best spinner and best bat to 2s. Anthony Lown
and Dave Johnson are two young players who,
while not prime candidates for the acrobatics of
Cirque du Soleil (Not that there isn’t a place in the
circus for Lowny), are blessed with talent that
could see them both become regular mainstays in
the top side until Phil and Bill can’t be bothered to
drive them to the cricket anymore.
Our next win did not come until round 9 against an
unenthusiastic Blacktown side. Despite scoring
300+ and looking set to go for an outright, the
match paled in comparison to the questionable
celebrations and player negotiations that came
with Ben Matthews’ first appearance as a Sydney
CC skipper. 2 weeks of village cricket that none
the less provided some much needed points.
A special mention should be made for Neil
rd
Maxwell. While he was sorely missed by the 3
grade side of 2007/08, his contribution to the UTS
Balmain sides of past years cannot be
underplayed. He is respected as one of the great
contributors to the club and will be sorely missed.
Sadly many of our home games were washed out
at ELS, which was used because of a
redevelopment at Ryde Oval. I challenge climate
change activists, tarpaulin quality advocates, or
fans of sightscreens to have summits at ELS Hall.
They will be sorely disappointed.

Men’s Fourth Grade Report
Tom Matson
Tom came to us just after Christmas and struggled
to find form due to tough conditions and weather.
Saved his best to last with a big partnership with
Angelo in the last game. Talented and with some
spunk, Tom needs to string some performances
together and his confidence will sore. Loves hair
product, was hard to get time in front of the mirror in
the sheds when he was around.
While never setting the competition alight, the
th
Sydney Cricket Club’s 4 Grade team took
tremendous strides this year in terms of
development and learning.
Decimated after over 20 players left the club from
th
last season, 4 Grade’s look at the start of the
season resembled a Green Shield team. However
after a period of adjustment and some hard work at
training, the boys showed a very steep learning
curve and after Christmas put some good
performances together.
Suhass Kaushik
Suhass started in 2’s then found his way down to us
after a string of bad luck. Showed that he needed
some in his first dig when he was put down on 0
then went on to make 43 against North Sydney.
Suffered like all of us on ELS Hall, Should see a
more producivet season out of Has next season.
Loved getting his shirt off in the sheds.
Washouts didn’t help as Sydney experienced its first
wet summer for some time with at least 3 matches
abandoned with us in a winning position as well as
juicing up an already juicy ELS Hall wicket.
Unfortunately our oval was probably the lowlight of
the season with the wicket substandard on at least
half of the occasions. This made a tough season to
start with even tougher.
Patrick Wilmot
Paddy had an auspicious start to his grade career.
Playing his first game on turf, he didn’t know that he
required spikes to play on turf wickets. Preceded to
top score with 50* in his first game of grade cricket.
Unfortunately struggling for the rest of the year,
Paddy improved everywhere else especially his
fielding. He has a very unorthodox style but is a very
good ball striker, Paddy’s challenge will be to be
selective on which balls to hit and leave and know
his limitations.
However we had plenty of highlights, a great early
win against Manly coming from nowhere to take the
points, a solid effort against North Sydney, a gusty
win against eventual finalists Sydney Uni and an
emphatic victory over Mosman plus some excellent
individual performances which I will make mention
later on.
I would like to thank the volunteers and parents in
particular the Newman’s, the Fiore’s, the Truelove’s,
the Wilmot’s and the King’s for all helping throughout
the year, you made it possible for us to play on a
Saturday. To Daryl Chappelow and the Operations
group a big thankyou you made the season easier to
cope with.
Tom Truelove
Tommy has a truckload of ability. Very competitive,
he has a good pair of hands and was always
encouraging and revving the boys up in the field. To
take the next steps, Tom needs to curb some of his
attacking flair and get a little smarter in shot
selection. Good square of the wicket needs be a
little more patient and relax a little more at the
crease. Loves poker at Paddy’s place.
As the twilight begins for my career it is pleasing to
see the next generation coming in and giving it a red
hot go. Hopefully I am around to see some big time
performances from the next group of Balmaniacs. To
those who I missed in the following analysis, you all
contributed to the season past and I look forward to
seeing you all next season.
Nathan Fiore
Nathan showed what hard work and a determination
rd
to succeed could do. Leading wicket taker and 3
leading run scorer, Nathan was still 14 when he
th
played his first 4 grade game. Was quiet at the
start but came home after Christmas with a string of
good performances. His 5/35 against Premiers
Randwick was superb as was his 50* against
Sydney Uni won the game for us. Has a big
workload next season, may need to cut down on the
Triathlon’s and the decathlon’s to fit it all in. Another
one who loved to take his shirt off in the sheds.
Angelo Joseph
Angelo came across from North Sydney and slotted
in nicely for us at the top of the order. Technically
sound, Angelo found the going tough at ELS Hall
(along with all the batters) but when away from there
he usually got us away to a good start. Needs to
work on turning the strike over and playing a little
straighter early on. Loved a dive in covers when the
ball was going straight to him.
Mark Baker
Bakes was down for only a handful of games but
quickly became the second leading wicket taker.
Showed the young blokes how to sustain pressure
with 11 wickets in 38 overs. Loves a pair of skins.

Fourth Grade Report (cont’d)
Daniel Jacob
I was a little sad to see DJ back in the 4’s. Had a
tough start in 3’s and lost form as a result. Got a
start on most occasions, needs to shoulder more
responsibility when he is batting now as he moves
into senior player status. Can do most things on the
cricket field including captain, DJ’s challenge will be
to remain more patient with his game including
taking on more workload. Big seasons ahead for DJ.
James Pryde
We saw Prydey because of a lack of opportunity in
3’s. Won the game single handedly against North
Sydney with 6/49 then didn’t see him again till late in
the season. Break through year for Prydey coming
up. Loves a tub.
Steven King
Kingy showed that he has what it takes ripping
through ND’s top order and finishing with 5/62.
School commitments limited Steven to only a
handful of games. Can swing the ball a long way,
patience and relaxing a little when at the top of his
mark will see Kingy go along way.
Max Newman
Maxy had a solid year with the gloves. He improved
as the year went on and come season end was
reading the game a lot better. Realised that he
wasn’t just there to catch the ball, Maxy now needs
to up his work at training and take on the batsman
by standing up and changing the game. Batting
wasn’t there this year needs to know where his big
shots are and exploit them when they are bowled to
him.
Phil Caruso
Vic came back about 5 games into the season after
a sojourn in Europe. Carrying a few extra kilos, Vic
set about working hard in getting back his fitness
and was rewarded with some good returns for the
4’s. His 4/46 against Parra was as good as any I
have seen him bowl. Has learnt to move it both ways
now needs to work more on planning to get a
batsman out rather than just be content to bowl him
dots. His work with the social committee was
excellent. A fantastic clubman.
John Smith
Smithy was the other find of the year. Big size big
action, Smithy loved ELS Hall and made the batters
tap dance when the ball went past their nostrils.
Worked very hard on his fitness as he had a bad
back, moved up the grades and ended up in 2’s after
a good year. Should see more improvement after
more hard work in the gym next season. Another
one who found Darling St, MG needs to keep a
close eye on him.
Patrick Little
Paddy played a couple of one-day games with us
but his presence always showed. Very experienced
and competitive bowler, it could be the last time we
see Paddy playing competitively. Always played to
win, it will be sad not to see the big man charging
down the hill. Loved monitoring the young fast
bowlers fitness regimes. Will be sorely missed.
Vamsy Doddala
Vamsy was with us because of work commitments
made it impossible to train and added value
whatever he did. Struggled because of the weather
and lack of training, Vamsy always gave his 100%.
With a good pre-season and more training time, look
to see Vamsy again up the grades. Loves a head
wobble.

Men’s Fifth Grade Report
The 2007/08 season can best be described in 2
words – frustrating and unrewarding. Frustrating
because of the weather and our interminable
washouts and unrewarding due to the lack of wins
and standout performances.
had 8 innings during this most disruptive of
seasons.
Similarly the bowling stats aren’t great with
Jonathan Yogarajah leading the way with 8
wickets. He bowled the most overs throughout
with only 58 – says something about the lack of
opportunity. Pete Boyages came to 5’s late in the
season and picked up 7 wickets at the good rate
of 13.4.
The team suffered because of a relative lack of
experience and a lack of team stability – such is
th
the plight of 5 Grade as a lack of depth and late
unavailabilities impacted most heavily at our end.
Hopefully the upside of this will be that those
players whom we have exposed to grade cricket
will learn and benefit from the experience and
they and the Club will reap some future rewards.
There were some promising cricketers who
passed through 5’s during the season and it is to
be hoped that they will go onto bigger and better
things both individually and a part of the Club as a
whole.
The part of the game at which we suffered most
was in or batting – we failed to score as much as
200 throughout the season (185 was our highest).
This makes it difficult to win matches irrespective
of whether you’re setting or chasing a target.
th
In an ideal world we would like to see 5 Grade as
a stable core of players next season that will hit
the season running and prosper. It’s not an
impossible ask and with more experience and
maturity the personnel are there for us to have a
successful season. It will take each of us setting
some personal goals, ensuring we avoid any short
cuts and applying ourselves to maximize our own
performances. The challenge awaits us all.
th
Those who did play some consistent 5 Grade
were Ben Matthews who scored the most runs at
227, Norm Abdal with 157 Tom Matson and
Andrew Downie. Whilst these figures do not seem
great it must be remembered most of these only

1 Grade Award Winners:
The 2007/2008 season was a year of mixed
st
results for the Women’s 1 Grade team. The side
put in some great performances throughout the
year but we were inconsistent especially in the
back end of the season. Once again our first
grade team was affected by the number of players
away with representative commitments (6 WNCL
players, 2 NSW A players;
3 NSW U/19 players; 2 NSW U/17 players and 2
Australian players).
Batting Aggregate – Alyssa Healy 391
Batting Average – Alyssa Healy 39.10
Bowling Aggregate – Jenny Gunn & Jessica Cox
16 wickets
Bowling Average – Nicole Goodwin 13.40
Fielding Award – Olivia Thornton 9 catches
A big thank you must go to the players in the
lower grades and a number of past players that
filled in and did a great job during this period.
Other Outstanding Achievements:
st
Leonie Coleman – 83 vs Wallsend
At the conclusion of the round games the 1
nd
Grade team was placed 2 behind Bankstown
rd
with Universities coming in 3 . Sydney Cricket
Club entered the semi final match against
Universities at Drummoyne as favourites but
unfortunately we went down in a close match. As
st
2006/2007 1 grade premiers it was disappointing
not to progress to the Grand Final but our side will
be even more determined to bring back the trophy
next year.
Alyssa Healy – 78 vs Bankstown
Jessica Cox – 5/10 off 7 overs vs Northern
Districts
Jessica Cox – 5/23 off 8 overs vs Northern
Districts
Jenny Gunn – 6/7 off 8 overs vs CampbelltownCamden
Although we had a disappointing end to the
season there were some great individual
performances that are worth highlighting. Here is
st
a list of the 1 Grade award winners including
some other outstanding achievements:

Women’s Brewer Shield Report
The 2007-08 season for the Brewer Shield team
can be summed up by player development and
rain. Rain was ultimately the dominant factor in
the season as of the 10 possible matches, 4 were
totally washed out, a further 2 partially washed out
and we only had 4 complete games in the season.
Although the girls did not manage to win any
games, there were lots of positives to be taken
from the season.
The team was captained by Annika Humphreys
who fostered a spirit of cohesiveness and
camaraderie in the team as well as opening the
bowling. Emily Watts was the leading run scorer in
the team and regularly tied down the opposition
with her economical spin bowling. Kristen
Thompson started the season with a really solid
innings with the bat against Bankstown and was
consistent behind the stumps as wicket keeper.
Dominique O’Brien usually opened the batting and
showed her experience with some solid
contributions in the field.
Being a young team, for many of the girls it was
their first season playing on turf pitches and it was
encouraging to see how their performances
improved with experience during the season.
Apart from the first game against Bankstown,
enthusiastic fielding and at times some good
bowling meant that the girls were able to restrict
the opposition in the field to gettable totals. As
the season progressed, it was encouraging to see
better consistency with the bowling, though the
girls need to keep working on their accuracy to
reduce the number of wides and no balls given
away.
Claire Hodgkinson opened the bowling to be the
team’s leading wicket taker and her batting
showed promise as the season progressed. Ally
Catterson showed potential with some useful
contributions with the bat and Bec Cincotta
provided handy support bowling and showed
promise in the field with two excellent run outs.
Claudia Bretag provided lots of encouragement in
the field to the rest of the team. Beth Wonders
showed lots of promise with accurate medium
pace bowling and some handy batting
contributions. Tess Noble showed an exciting
lack of fear in the field and made some handy
contributions with her batting. Morgan Whitby
provided good support bowling and Alysha
Prakash provided spin bowling support and
backed up as reserve wicket keeper.
Katerina King and Kandy Lambert also made
contributions in the games they played.
Unfortunately while batting, inconsistency meant
that many of the girls threw away good starts with
an unguarded loose shot. It took a while for the
girls to get used to the less consistent bounce of
turf pitches and to be content to play straight and
to regularly look for the quick single to keep the
score ticking along.
In the round 7, good tight bowling and sharp
fielding had Campbelltown-Camden 6-33 after 13
overs, but unfortunately we could not finish them
off and the opposition ended up making 119.
Despite a good start to our innings, some loose
shots threw away a good prospect for victory for
us to be all out for 93.
Despite the frustrations of rain, there were lots of
positives for the team as the girls showed plenty
of potential and most will still be young enough to
play Brewer Shield next season.

Poidevin–Gray Report
century. Daniel Jacob carried on from Round 1
with another 20not out as he and DJ added the
necessary runs that saw us home with 4 overs
and 6 wickets to spare.
Anticipation was high for a successful 2007/08
season for our Poidevin-Gray team but
disappointingly we failed to live up to our high
expectations. Our confidence was buoyed by the
st
availability of a couple of 1 Graders in James
Crosthwaite and Jay Poria and a troop of talented
players from our lower grades.
The match against Blacktown was marred by the
weather when we had an upset victory in sight.
Our batting was probably 40 short of what we
would have liked in totalling 183 and failing to bat
out our overs. Jonathan New showed promise in
the opening position with a hard fought 36, Darren
Smith carried on with another 37 and Jacob
Maher also getting 30. Our problem was that
none of these 3 went on with the job to get us to
the total we were seeking. Nevertheless we had
our runs on the board and with rain threatening,
Jay turned in his most fiery spell of the season to
have most of the fancied Blacktown batsmen in
the shed at 4-29, Jay getting all 4 wickets.
Blacktown rallied a little to be 4-68 off 22 overs
but with Duckworth-Lewis in our favour we were
unable to get the necessary 25 overs bowled
before the rains came and denied us of a win.
Come late October we commenced our campaign
with a match at Drummoyne against a formidable
Roosters line up who soon had our ambitions for a
competitive total on the ropes as they ran through
our top order to have four of our best back in the
pavilion with only 5 runs on the board. To the
rescue came newcomer David Johnston and
Daniel Jacob who grafted away initially to get us
back into the match. The two came together at 533 off 17 overs and slowly built some
respectability to our batting until they set about the
tiring ghost’s attack in the latter overs, so much so
th
that they had a 6 wicket partnership of the 30’s in
their sights. Their partnership continued to
prosper beyond a hundred with DJ approaching
his maiden Club century and Daniel playing an
important supporting role. With the total looking a
lot more respectable DJ succumbed in the search
for quick runs after adding 124 in partnership with
Daniel. Jay Poria continued on the heavy hitting
with Daniel now joining in to the extent that we
posted a reasonable 6-209 at he end of our overs.
Daniel finished on 65no and Jay 27no in adding
th
another 52 for the 7 wicket.
This was probably the turning point of our season
and after that our performances fell away with
some poor batting performances.
Randwick-Petersham was next and our bowlers
did well to restrict their batting to 7-183 off their 50
overs. Dave Johnston showed his all round value
to the team in getting 3 wickets while Marty
Brooks was as consistent as ever in getting his 2.
It was our batting that let us down in this match
and we never came to grips with the opposition
attack as we steadily lost wickets and were unable
to establish a decent partnership. The result was
a paltry 80 all out in 36 overs with no one reaching
double figures.
When our turn came to bowl, the pitch had
flattened considerably and our attack struggled to
contain an aggressive and much vaunted East’s
batting line up. To their credit our bowlers kept
pegging away but were unable to get a clutch of
wickets going. Marty Brooks bowled a tight 10
overs with good support coming from Josh
Murphy and David Johnston. However Easts kept
themselves in front and finally reached the
th
required in the 47 over with 4 wickets down.
Penrith took advantage of an inexperienced
bowling attack in our next match in amassing 7299, an unlikely target for us. Matt Brooks took 2
wickets in his P/G’s debut but overall a
disappointing bowling effort. Similarly our batting
was not up to standard and once again we batted
for only 36 overs in totalling 132. Marcus Tripp
(30) and Darren Smith (41) were the only batsmen
to show any form.
We were off to Allan Border next missing Crossy
and Jay but felt reasonably satisfied with our
efforts in the field as we controlled Mosman to a
gettable 225 off 50 overs in good batting
conditions. The wickets were shared by Marty
Brooks, Dave Johnston and Jacob Maher with 2
each. Our run chase started reasonably well with
Marty Brooks turning in a fine all-round
performance for his 30. The loss of 2 quick
wickets saw newcomer Darren Smith joined by
Dave Johnston and they set about the Mosman
attack in a fine partnership that eventually yielded
th
101 runs for the 4 wicket. The loss of Darren at
4-153 did not deter DJ who marched to continue
his stellar batting form in scoring his maiden club
Our batting remained a problem against Uni of
NSW and despite our bowlers doing a fine job in
dismissing the students for 209 we fell well short
with only 112 on the board in reply. Debutante
Steve King impressed with 3/34 off his 10 overs
and Dave Johnston took another 3 wickets. Our
new Central Coast recruit Justin Moore was the
only batsmen to show any resolve in scoring 29.
47
Poidevin-Gray Report (cont’d)
Batting first against Fairfield we failed to get to our
50 overs and with 152 we were well short of par.
Marty Brooks showed real determination in
holding the innings together for his 45no and got
some support from Darren Smith (27), Justin
Moore (24) and a colourful 25 from Anthony Lown.
Our total was never going to be enough and
despite Anthony and DJ picking up 2 wickets each
Fairfield passed us 5 down with plenty of overs to
spare.
To make our P/G season rewarding for all
concerned and to make a serious challenge for
the semis we need to look at taking a more
intensive approach to the Competition. We will
have gained some much needed experience this
season, particularly as we exposed a number of
our younger players to a higher level of cricket.
To fully benefit from this next season we will need
to start our planning earlier, establish a real
camaraderie within the team and build on those
aspects to achieve more on field success.

Green Shield Report
James Matthey – lost to us after 2 matches and we
missed his excellent off spin bowling and maturity on
the field. Solid middle order bat as well.
This season’s Green Shield performance was
disappointing and for the second consecutive season
we failed to record a win. For the record we had 2
draws and 5 losses.
Matthew Pasternasky – needs to work hard on the
simple things to achieve the required Green Shield
level. Has another season so he needs to cash in on
his inherent ability next season
On these statistics there seems that little was gained
from the season but on an individual basis we did
unearth some young prospects who hopefully will go
on to make successful grade careers for themselves
and the Club.
Nic Bills – big, strong opening bowler. Also likes to hit
the ball hard down the order.
Principally we underachieved with our batting. We
never scored enough runs and only on one occasion
did we bat our 60 overs. We failed to give our bowlers
a chance and when chasing we inevitably lost wickets
at crucial stages to minimise any chance of reaching a
target.
Nick White – useful left arm swing bowler and lower
order bat. Suffering at the moment because of
bowling restrictions. Will continue to improve with
exposure to grade cricket
Tom Truelove – Tom can bat as evidenced by his
efforts against Blacktown Easts and Fairfield He
needs to commit wholeheartedly to his approach to
the game to turn the 30’s into big scores. Extra work
on his fielding is a necessity.
Our bowling was up to standard for this level. Our
openers did a good job, our change bowlers
maintained pressure and our spinners bowled
economically and well.
Our fielding was up to expectations and we obtained a
number of run outs and took some outstanding
catches.
Vishan Wijeyaratne – solid left arm swing bowler and
once he learns not to bowl too short will reap further
rewards. Another under 15 who should do well next
season.
We did have 5 of the squad already playing in our
grade teams and it was hoped the experience gained
by those players would carry them and the fair way in
the Competition. Unfortunately this was not the case
Nikhil Ramrakha – good right arm offie with another
season in front of him at this level. With 8 wickets
shared the most wickets for the team.
We were hindered by the loss of our skipper, James
Matthey due to injury after 2 rounds. Max Newman
stepped into the role and did an admirable job.
.
Braden Cheng – Braden still has a further 2 seasons
of Green Shield and with maturity should develop into
a useful bowler who will play an important part in our
attack.
As for the players themselves I offer the following
comments:-
Jonathon Yogarajah –good opening bowler who
needs to work on his run-up. While his stats weren’t
graet he performed well in 5’s and needs to continue
to work hard to get further rewards.
Max Newman – a tidy wicketkeeping effort who
continues to improve. Max’s keeping was amongst
the best in the Competition and was probably unlucky
not ot make the combined team. His batting was
sound and with his good work ethic he will make a
significant contribution to the Club in future seasons.
Prasanna Bhaskaran- also needs some work on his
run up but it was good to see him mature and playa
role in grade cricket as the season went on.
Tom Lamont - Attacking and fluent strokemaker with
the ability to dominate in the middle order.
Tom Matson- Tom didn’t do justice to his ability in
averaging only 10 with the bat. He will need to work
hard on his approach to the game to maximize that
ability.
Michael Galbraith - Skilful top order bat and left arm
spinner. Needs to keep up the hard work to capitalise
on his ability over the next few seasons.
Damian Ireland – Damian works hard at his game
and with that attitude more success will come his way.
A continuation of his application will see him develop
into a useful cricketer in the future

WC Bull Memorial Trophy

This trophy was presented for annual competition by Mr. John Bull to perpetuate the memory of the grand
service given to Balmain by his father, W.C. Bull, as a player (including First Grade) and outstanding
administrator at all levels of the game. Mr. Bull joined Balmain in 1901, was elected to the Management
Committee in 1904 and was appointed Honorary Secretary of the Club in 1909, a post he held until 1939. He
was made a Life Member of the Club in 1922 and succeeded his father as President in 1939, a position he
held until his death in 1957.
Mr. Bull was a delegate to the NSWCA for 46 years and a member of the Executive Committee for 36 years.
He was elected a Life Member of the NSWCA in 1937. Mr. Bull managed an Australian side to New Zealand
in 1928 and was Treasurer of the 1934 Ashes team to England.
This trophy was given for competition between players in Grades 1 to 5 and is competed for on a points basis

The Fred Bennett Memorial Trophy
Outstanding First Grade Player
To perpetuate the memory of a very great Balmainian, the Club Committee commissioned a memorial trophy
in his honour. Frederick William Bennett joined Balmain in 1938 and served the Club for an amazing 57
years until his untimely passing on Australia Day, 1995. He was an excellent wicketkeeper batsman who
made his First Grade debut in the 1940/41 season, just prior to joining the 2nd/4th Australian Army Regiment
with which he served in New Guinea and the Solomon Islands reaching the rank of Lieutenant. After rejoining
Balmain in 1945, Fred continued his First and later Second Grade career with considerable success,
culminating in his leading our Second Grade side to the premiership in 1953/54.
Fred was appointed to the Club Committee as Assistant Honorary Secretary in 1946 and held this position
until appointed Honorary Secretary in 1949. For the next 27 years, Fred did a remarkable job looking after
the Club as its major custodian. In 1976 he took over the Presidency from Cliff Winning and held this position
until his passing. His administrative skills were very widely recognised and led to his appointment to the
NSWCA where he served in many capacities including Chairman for nine years from 1954/55.
Fred served on the Australian Cricket Board from 1967 to 1988 and was its Chairman from 1983-1987. He
managed several Australian Touring sides in the period from 1969 to 1981 and was recognised by all as a
great bloke and great administrator. He was regarded by the players as one of the best Managers ever to
take a team away. Fred was honoured with three Life Memberships, Balmain District Cricket Club in 1956,
the New South Wales Cricket Association in 1959 and the MCC in 1980. To complement these honours, he
was awarded the Order of the British Empire (OBE) in 1980 for services to sport.
The Committee, in commissioning this trophy, acted as it believed Fred would have wished in presenting it for
the Outstanding First Grade Player.
It was decided that the Committee would award this trophy on the basis of assessment in the following
categories:
Playing Performance, Citizenship, Conduct, Training Attendance and General Contribution to the
Club.
The winner of this trophy. for 2007-08 is Jon Moss

HV Todd Tanner Memorial Trophy
Best Player Under 21 in Grade Teams
HV “Todd” Tanner was a contemporary and very dear friend of W.C. Bull who was Honorary Secretary from
1910-1939 and President from 1939-1956. Todd Tanner joined Balmain in 1920, was elected to the
Management Committee in 1921 and, on numerous occasions, acted as its Chairman. His service to the Club
in this capacity continued until his death in 1956 without his missing a Committee meeting. Todd Tanner was
a delegate to the NSWCA and other cricket bodies on behalf of the Club for many years and was elected a
Life Member in 1935.
His greatest cricketing achievement was the taking of all 10 wickets for 32 runs in a C&S Match in 1920,
closely followed by 145 runs (still a record), during which he clouted many sixes into Snail’s Bay at
Birchgrove.
He was one of the most ardent supporters of Poidevin-Gray and AW Green Shield Cricket. So, in keeping
with what would have been his wish, the Club put forward this trophy to perpetuate the memory of a
wonderful servant. It was decided that all players under 21 years of age who play in our grade sides would
be eligible for the trophy. The same points formula as utilised for the WC Bull trophy applies.
This award winner in 2007-08 is James Crosthwaite.

Archie Jackson Memorial Trophy
Highest Placed Club Team
The 1932-33 Committee of the Balmain District Cricket Club decided to ensure that the name of a great
Balmain, New South Wales and Australian cricketer should forever be perpetuated in our Club history by
arranging for, and providing to the Club, a magnificent Shield to be presented annually to the Balmain team
finishing the season with the highest number of Premiership points.
Archie Jackson was Balmain’s youngest Interstate and International Representative who succumbed to
Tuberculosis at only 23 years of age in February, 1933. In 1926/27, after showing tremendous promise as a
schoolboy, he amassed, at the tender age of 17, a First Grade aggregate of 870 runs in only 12 innings (2 not
outs), including five centuries at an average of 87.00. He was chosen the same season to play for NSW for
whom he scored two centuries and three fifties. Test Match representation came in February 1929 in
Adelaide (Fourth Test) when he recorded a top score of 162 on debut v England – an innings which brought
him cricketing immortality. Archie played for Balmain from 1924 to 1932 scoring 11 centuries, represented
NSW on 23 occasions scoring 1858 runs at an average of 54.64 and played in eight Tests, scoring 474 runs
at 47.40.
From 2004-05 it was decided that this trophy would be presented to the UTS Balmain Grade team finishing
the season in the highest position in their competition.

Colin Thomlinson Memorial Trophy
This trophy was donated by the family of the late Colin Thomlinson in honour of his memory and service to
the Balmain Club. Colin played in an era when First Grade cricket was of a very high standard, but was
deprived of competing permanently at that level because of the controversial nature of his excellent fastish
off-break deliveries … but by no means was this a unanimous opinion. Nevertheless, Colin accepted these
reversals like the great sportsman he was and continued to give the Club yeoman service on and off the field
right up to the time of his untimely passing. It was determined that this trophy should be awarded to the First
Grade bowler who topped the Club’s First Grade averages. To be eligible, the player must have taken a
minimum of 15 wickets.
From 2001-02 season, it was decided that this award would be presented each year to the best bowler in 1st
Grade based on aggregate.

Jim Reynolds Trophy
Highest Balmain Placegetter in the SMH Player of the Year Award
Jim Reynolds was a long serving Vice President and barracker-in-chief for our first grade team wherever and
whenever they played. This continued for many years and after the Sydney Morning Herald introduced the
Bill O’Reilly medal for the best performed first grade player in Sydney, Jim offered to present an award to the
player who finished with the highest number of points in this competition.

Athol Aria Memorial Trophy
Most Valuable Player in the Poidevin-Gray Shield Team
Presented to the Club in honour of a Senior Vice President, Athol Aria who served the Club splendidly in
numerous auxiliary, “behind the scenes” capacities. He knew Drummoyne Oval like “the back of his hand” …
one of his pet phrases, because he was also closely associated with the Drummoyne Rugby Club. His
valuable service dates back to the days when it was customary to charge admission for First Grade matches
and Athol was invariably on deck to collect the money. Certainly, one of our Club’s staunchest loyalists.
The award of this trophy is based on a points system for Batting, Bowling and Fielding and has been won by

Andrew Jones Trophy
AW Green Shield – Most Valuable Player

From 2004-05, it was decided, however, that this trophy be presented to the Most Valuable Player in the AW Green
Shield team.

Ed McCardell Memorial Trophy
Best Club Person
This trophy was donated by the Balmain District Cricket Club Management Committee to perpetuate the
memory of another of our Club’s “behind the scenes” indispensable toilers, particularly at the First Grade
level. He was closely associated with our late President, F.W. Bennett OBE, in many of the latter’s sporting
goods enterprises and used a variety of his talents, including First Grade team manager, to ensure as high a
degree of off field efficiency as possible. His all round efficiency was also recognised by the NSWCA which
appointed him manager of a number of minor representative teams. The trophy is awarded annually for
consistent displays of unsolicited service, citizenship and service beyond the call of duty or obligation.
The winners of this trophy for 2007-08 are Vamsy Doddala, Nidhu Gotadke, Suhaas Kaushik (shared)

Bill Donaldson Memorial Trophy
Most Conscientious Trainer
The family of the late Bill Donaldson donated this trophy during the 1999/2000 season. Bill Donaldson was
one of Balmain’s greatest and longest serving players, playing with the Club from 1937 to 1961. Bill was a
prolific run-scorer with two double centuries and 11 centuries to his name. He made the highest individual
score ever in Balmain 1st Grade with 246 not out in 1947/48 and has the highest average in 1st Grade with
135.16 also in 1947/48. Bill also scored two centuries for NSW, both coincidentally against Western
Australia.
From 2004-05, it was decided that this trophy be presented to the Most Conscientious Trainer, replacing the
Yorkshire Logic Challenge Shield. The winner is the player who attends practice regularly and puts in at all
times. The winner in 2007-08 is Adam Maher

Full records have only been maintained since 1950/51. Scattered details exist for 1897/1950.
However, Annual Reports have occasionally made mention of an outstanding performance by a
keeper during the years of A Ratcliffe in 1916/17 where he effected 6 catches and 27 stumpings
during the season. Most Annual Reports state that the keeper had a good season without giving
details.

Club Records – Wicket keeping
Listed below are the performances of our wicket-keepers who have snared 100 plus victims since the Club
commenced in 1897/98. The Annual Reports do not carry much detailed data on wicket keeping prior to
1950 and, whilst considerable research has been undertaken through newspapers etc covering the years
from 1897 to 1950, we do not believe that any 'keepers - other than those listed - have been involved in
the dismissal of 100 plus victims (caught/stumped).

A GREAT ALLROUNDER
Bernard James FOLKARD
give the active side of the game away at the end of that
season.
Bert, who was born at Ryde in 1878 joined Balmain in
the 1902/03 season playing just two matches in 2nd
Grade , before progressing to the clubs’ 1st Eleven
.where he played with moderate success in this season
as well as in 1903/04.
During his spectacular career with Balmain he scored
some 5908 runs (5869 in 1st grade) at an average of
32.03 and took 549 wickets(539 in 1st grade) at an
average of 19.75.
Bert was missing for 1904/05, 1905/06, 1906/07 and
1907/08 seasons(it was not known where he played),
however returned for the 1908/09 season and remained
a First grade fixture until the end of the1922/23 season
when he announced his retirement. .He was persuaded
to come back in 1925/26, however decided to finally
In 8 seasons , Bert topped the clubs 1st Grade batting
averages and in 7 seasons topped the 1st Grade bowling
figures. He took the greatest number of wickets in
Sydney First grade in 1910/11 and 1916/17 seasons and
topped the Sydney Ist Grade bowling averages in
100
1910/11 and 1911/12. Added to this Bert managed to
take two hat tricks in Sydney 1st Grade competitions.,
the first against Petersham in 1910/11 and the second
against Gordon in 1917/18.
Col Jefferies
With the bat Bert made 13 First Grade centuries in his
178 first grade innings and converted two of these to
double figures with 241* v Sydney in 1910/11 and
202* v Paddington in 1910/11. Bert was also the Ist
Grade captain from 1910/11 to 1922/23.
During the 1910/11 season, Bert was chosen for NSW
for whom he was chosen intermittently up until the
1920/21 season. His playing career with NSW consisted
of some 15 matches where he batted on 22 occasions
for 281 runs-Highest score 61- for an average of
13.33.With the ball he took 45 wickets at an average of
26.97 with his best being 7/65.
.
Bert caught the Australian selectors eyes at the end of
the1913/14 season and was chosen as a member of the
Australian team to tour SOUTH AFRICA in 1914/15.
Unfortunately for Bert this tour was cancelled due to
the outbreak of war. Whilst we have had several
Australian representatives, Bert was the first player
from the Balmain club to be chosen for AUSTRALIA
Bert’s contribution to Balmain was not just on the
playing field, as he was a member of the club’s
management committee from 1910 to 1927, and a First
grade selector from 1910 to 1922.
During his time at Balmain, Bert was at his happiest
when advising youngsters about this great game, not
only how to play the game, but also about becoming
good sportsmen and team players.
This wonderful player who was placed in high
affection by all those who came into contact with him,
as well as being a thorough gentleman whose
knowledge and love of the cricket was second to none,
was rewarded in 1922 for his marvellous contribution to
Balmain over a very long period , with LIFE
MEMBERSHIP.
Sadly he passed on in January 1937 at the age of 58
years and just before Balmain took out its second First
Grade premiership . Significantly Balmain’s first First
Grade premiership was taken out in 1915/16 under Bert
Folkard’s stewardship.
