Heroes of the Ages
The Randwick Petersham Cricket story
Speaker. He also bowled the first ball in a Celebrity cricket match between the Michael
Whitney Celebrity XI and Richard Chee Quee 1st XI at Coogee Oval.
The heart and soul of Randwick Petersham Cricket resides in the history of four separate
Sydney Grade clubs – Petersham, Randwick, Marrickville and Petersham-Marrickville. The
collective lifespan of those founding clubs together with the 13 years of Randwick
Petersham to 2014 amounts to 256 playing years giving Randwick Petersham an undeniable
claim to be the oldest cricket club in the world.
Marrickville District Cricket Club Est.1910
In 1910 the third founding club Marrickville District Cricket Club was established and won
the 2nd Grade premiership in its first season. Along with Randwick, St George and Mosman
it was admitted to 1st Grade in 1921-22. It won its only 1st Grade
premiership in 1943-44 when 8,035 people attended Marrickville
Oval to witness the team beat St George in the last over of the
match. Bernard Russell was the club’s first NSW representative in
1921-22 while fellow fast bowler John Scott, who was previously
with Petersham, played for the state from 1921 to 1925. Scott also
made a century on the first day of Marrickville’s entry into 1st
Grade as part of his side’s 312 against Glebe at Wentworth Park
Oval.
Petersham District Cricket Club Est.1899
The first of the founding clubs, Petersham District Cricket Club was
established in 1899 and admitted to 1st Grade in 1907-08. That
same season Percy Newton became the club’s first NSW
representative when he played the first of two matches for the
state. John Scott and Andrew Farnsworth followed a season later
with George Harvey joining them in 1909-10. In 1921 T.J.E. (Tommy)
Andrews became Petersham’s first Test player when he played the
first of his 16 Tests for Australia during the team’s tour of England.
With a career spanning 35 seasons Andrews was arguably
Petersham’s greatest club man. In 1938-39 the legendary Sid Barnes played Test cricket
having made his NSW debut two years earlier aged 20. That same season the great allrounder Cec Pepper made his State debut.
Marrickville’s first Test cricketer was the legendary Bill Brown who made his debut in 193435. He was followed by Ernie Toshack, Ron Saggers and Jack Moroney. Brown, Toshack and
Saggers were members of Sir Donald Bradman’s 1948 “Invincibles”tour of England.
In its 30 years in 1st Grade the club had just two Hon. Secretaries with the second of those,
Bert Bicknell serving for 29 years. He was elected a Life Member of the NSW Cricket
Association in 1943 and of the club in 1951, its final year.
Petersham had a history of producing outstanding administrators. The most notable was
Sydney Smith Jnr. OBE who served as President of the NSW Cricket Association for 30 years
and Petersham secretary for 14. In addition Dudley Seddon served cricket for 60 years
including 20 as an Australian selector.
In its 41 seasons Marrickville won a 1st Grade premiership, three 2nd Grade premierships,
two 3rd Grade titles, a 4th Grade premiership and the Poidevin Gray Shield three times. It
also won the Club Championship in 1922-23. The club’s grounds were Marrickville Oval,
Wentworth Park Oval, Wolli Oval and Belmore Oval.
To allow Bankstown to enter the 1st Grade competition, the NSW Cricket Association
determined in 1946 that Petersham DCC would absorb Marrickville DCC. After much
protesting from the Marrickville community and Marrickville Council, the decision was
changed to amalgamate the two clubs effective from the 1951/52 season.
Petersham-Marrickville District Cricket Club Est.1951
In its 51 seasons Petersham won 1st Grade in 1917-18 and the Club Championship in 192425. Furthermore the club won three 2nd Grade, three 3rd Grade and one 4th Grade
premiership. The club’s grounds were Petersham Oval and Leichhardt Oval which is now a
premier rugby league venue.
The fourth founding club was the merged entity Petersham-Marrickville District Cricket Club
established in 1951. In its first season as a 1st Grade club in 1951-52 it won the Club
Championship, 3rd and 4th Grades and the Poidevin Gray Shield
while 1st Grade and A W Green Shield teams were runners-up. Bob
Simpson won the Green Shield batting award with 627 runs at an
average of 156.7. The success cemented the goodwill and spirit of
members following the amalgamation. In 1954-55 PetershamMarrickville won its first 1st Grade premiership and successfully
defended its title the following season. Between the mid 1970’s
and late 1980’s the club’s 1st Grade team was one of the most
competitive in the competition winning the premiership in 1974-75
while finishing Minor Premiers on three occasions.
Randwick Cricket Club Est.1900
The second club was Randwick District Cricket Club founded
in 1900 as Randwick Electorate Cricket Club entered the 2nd
and 3rd Grade competitions. In 1921-22 the club was
admitted to 1st Grade. Randwick won its first game against
Manly at Randwick Oval now the site of the University of
NSW. Coogee Oval became the club’s home ground in 1924
followed by Kensington Oval in 1928 and Snape Park in 1948.
The club’s first Test and NSW representative was Jack Moroney in
1951-52 followed the next season in Sheffield Shield by Clive
Johnston and 16 years old debutante Bobby Simpson. In the
following years Pat Crawford and Johnny Martin played Test cricket
while Graeme Hughes, Russell Waugh, David Chardon, Peter
Anderson and Col Blackman among others, represented NSW.
Randwick had a total of 27 NSW representatives including in
its early days famous names such as Ray McNamee, Hunter
“Stork” Hendry, Jock Livingston, Ernie Toshack and Alec
Marks who was regarded as one of the club’s greatest ever
players. In more recent times, Geoff Davies, John Benaud,
Alan Turner, Ron Crippin, John Dyson, Mike Whitney, Peter
Clifford and Richard Chee Quee among others represented
New South Wales.
The Petersham President Sid Bain and Secretary Jack Ross maintained those positions with
the new club following the merger and continued until 1959 and 1968 respectively. Jack
Ross succeeded as President in 1968 and continued for 21 years while Alf Debnam was Hon.
Treasurer for 26 years and Tim Dein Secretary for 12. The club’s grounds were Petersham
Oval, Marrickville Oval and in later years, Jubilee Oval at Glebe. In its 50 years PetershamMarrickville won 17 premierships; 1st Grade four times; 3rd Grade five times; 4th Grade
three times, Poidevin Gray three times and the A W Green Shield on two occasions.
Over a period covering 147 Sheffield Shield matches from 1964, NSW took the field on only
one occasion without a Randwick player while in 1982-83 the club had five representatives.
Randwick didn’t have a Test player until 1972-73 when John Benaud played the first of his
three Tests although Geoff Davies was 12th man in 1968-69. Australian selection soon
followed for Alan Turner, John Dyson and Mike Whitney.
In 1999 Petersham-Marrickville celebrated its Centenary with a dinner attended by 340
guests.
Os Taylor was one of Randwick’s most famous administrators with over 60 years’ service.
Jack Chegwyn (32 years), John Hayward (27), Wally Dowd (26), Stroy Donnan (22), Phil
Tresidder (21), George Simpson (18), Lyall Gardner (17) and Bill Beath (15) were also long
term office bearers while David Sherwood was 1st Grade scorer for 52 years and Australian
scorer and baggage master on 6 overseas tours.
Randwick Petersham Cricket Club Est.2001
Randwick experienced two “Golden Eras”. In the 1930’s it was the dominant club winning
the Club Championship four times in six seasons while it won six of the NSW Cricket
Association’s seven competitions in 1930-31. In the period 1977 to 1993 Randwick won 1st
Grade four times, 11 premierships covering 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th grades, the Club
Championship three times and was runner-up three times. In its 101 years, Randwick won
46 premierships including seven 1st Grade titles and won eight Club Championships.
In 2001 the NSW Cricket Board proposed that Randwick and Petersham-Marrickville be
omitted from the competition as part of a move to introduce a new club from Blacktown
while reducing the overall number of 1st Grade clubs. When
both clubs decided of their own volition to merge into a
separate entity to be known as Randwick Petersham Cricket
Club the Board dropped the plan. In the 13 years since,
Randwick Petersham has become one of the top clubs in Sydney
Grade Cricket winning premierships in the 1st Grade Limited
Overs, the Twenty20 competition twice as well as in 2nd Grade,
3rd Grade, 4th Grade three times, 5th Grade twice and once in
the developmental Metropolitan Cup competition. The
prestigious Club Championship was won in 2007-08 and 2010-11
while the club has produced six first class cricketers with Simon Katich, Nathan Hauritz,
Usman Khawaja and David Warner going on to play Test cricket. Former Randwick Test
cricketer Mike Whitney has been President of Randwick Petersham throughout its 13 years
history.
In 2000 Randwick celebrated its Centenary with a special dinner for more than 400 people
at the AJC Centre, Royal Randwick. Wes Hall was flown in from Barbados to be Guest
Lyall Gardner OAM
Club Historian
The club was the first to field an overseas player when West
Indian fast bowler Wes Hall played in 1965-66, while it was the
first to lay covers on 1st Grade grounds in 1974-75. In 1977-78
“Pegasus” was adopted as the club’s emblem and in 1990-91
“District” was dropped from the club’s name while green and
white were adopted as new colours in lieu of the original navy,
sky blue and maroon.

President’s Report
In each of my 12 previous reports detailing the activities of this club in the immediate season
past, I have commented just how proud I am to be President of Randwick Petersham. And this
year is no different. There is not a prouder President in Sydney Grade Cricket than yours truly.
Proud of what we have achieved; proud of the way we go about playing the great game of
cricket; proud of the dedication and commitment by so many people in our ranks; and proud of
the contribution our club has made and will make in the future to the development of players,
to Sydney Grade Cricket and to the local community. Ladies and Gentlemen of Randwick
Petersham Cricket, it is my privilege and honour to present to you my 13th report as President
of this great club.
Another terrific season on the cricket field! We made the semi-finals in both 1st and 5th grades
which is an achievement in itself. This was the fourth successive season we have played in the
1st Grade Belvidere Cup semis while 5th Grade has the enviable record of having played in 10 of
the last 12 semi-finals. And while we didn’t bring home any trophies in the Grade competitions
we did bring home the silverware in another—the 1st Grade Twenty 20 Competition. It was a
fantastic match with the Grand Final played for the first time under lights at Drummoyne Oval
and in keeping with the excitement that Twenty 20 cricket creates, the game against
Campbelltown-Camden was won on the last ball of the match! Congratulations to Adam Semple
and his “excitement machine” team! We are fast developing a reputation as Sydney’s top
Twenty 20 side having taken the trophy twice in three years. Fantastic stuff. You just gotta love it!!
What is particularly pleasing about our 1st Grade team is that of the regular players, five are under 21 while another has just
reached that age. It is one of the youngest 1st Grade teams we have ever fielded but also one of the most naturally talented.
Blended with our top-class experienced players and a few other youngsters in the wings, we have the makings of a team which is
likely to bring home that elusive Belvidere Cup in the very near future. It’s exciting times ahead for the Randy Petes!
And talking about experienced players, how good was it to have Simon Katich back in the RPC baggy green! He made only limited
appearances although he was part of the Twenty 20 premiership team. He was the star of the national Big Bash competition
however, leading the Perth Scorchers to victory in the final. Simon is our longest serving first grader, having played the last 12
seasons, and the Management Committee has nominated him for life membership at this year’s Annual General Meeting. I know
he regards it as an honour but we are the ones who should feel honoured by having him with us over the past dozen seasons. He
has played 60 matches in that time, scored 2,742 runs and has the outstanding average of 53.76—the only player in the club to
average more than 50. His brilliance as a player is only overshadowed by his integrity as a person. One of the best.
The fact we are competitive in all grades and particularly in 1st Grade, is the result of some good planning, organising and
management. In this regard we have been most fortunate to have a person like Bill Anderson at the helm. An experienced
campaigner who has been around the traps for the best part of 40 years, Bill is walking proof that you can’t put an old head on
young shoulders. He’s been there and done that more than anybody and his strategic thinking and general “smart” has been the
principal ingredient in our success over the years. Like Simon Katich, we have been lucky to have had him. He is and has been,
one of our great assets.
Test player David Warner joined us this season but with an extensive first-class cricket schedule we barely saw him. He had a
fantastic season of Test cricket however, and he is to be congratulated on his well-earned status as one of the top batsmen in the
world. He was one of five 1st Grade debutante’s this season. Rory Burns from Surrey and Rishabh Shah, a MCC University player
also joined us and made a big impact. I was also pleased to see long-serving Alex Sciascia win a baggy green after being one of our
top lower grade players for the past 12 years. And what a thrill for 19 years old Nathan Ellis to make the grade and perform so
well after starting in 5th Grade just a few seasons ago.
In the lower grades it is just an amazing statistic for any club to have a team such as our 5th Grade, which contests 10 semi-finals
in 12 seasons. We have always had a blend of promising juniors with a few old heads in the side and this has paid huge dividends
over the years. Jason McLean again did a great job and he will enjoy watching those many charges in his care blossoming into
stars of the future. Special thanks also to our other captains Rod Stafford (2nd Grade), Nick Charlwood and Nigil Singh (3rd Grade)
and David Bourke (4th Grade). At Christmas we were placed such that it was a real possibility all five grades could make the
finals. We were also sitting second in the Club Championship just a couple of points behind eventual champions Sydney
University and ready to make a charge. However, our form deserted us and we struggled over the last couple of months ending
up sixth which was still a good effort and up three spots on our ninth the previous year. What was interesting was that during the
season we had two “greenwashes” when we defeated North Sydney and Blacktown in all five grades while against Sutherland
and Sydney we failed to register a point!
We are still struggling to win a Poidevin Gray or A W Green Shield premiership but boy, our youngsters played well this summer.
The Green Shielders made the Quarter Finals while our PG boys were near the lead after three rounds before an injury to the
team star Daniel Sams coupled with a few unlucky breaks saw us fall out of contention. After good performances in these age
limit competitions over the past couple of years I firmly believe our chance to win one is not far away. Hang in there.

We had a few good records set during the year. Alex Sciascia was the second bat to pass 5,000 runs for the club. A mighty
achievement in anyone’s language and there’s plenty more to come as he’s a dedicated cricketer. Chris Singh, the old warhorse,
passed the 300 wickets mark and belted another “ton” along the way. And congratulations to Matt Hilder on becoming the first
player in the club to chalk up 200 games! Hot on his heels a few games later David Bourke brought up the magic 200. Great stuff
gentlemen, and something which emphasises the dedication and loyalty we have in this club. And what about the 150 doublebungers in 1st Grade with Jake Wilson bringing up 150 wickets and Anthony Sams going past 150 dismissals behind the stumps.
Long-termer Karl Schubert gets better with age and he was another to pass 150 wicket-keeping scalps. We also had an amazing
four hat-tricks amidst a stack of new partnership records. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again-it’s all happening at Randy Petes!
I thought that our sponsorship arrangements last year couldn’t get much better, especially as most sporting bodies were
struggling to attract business support. I am therefore delighted, in fact I am amazed, that this season we have increased our
sponsorship membership! What a pleasure it was to welcome Sydney City Toyota, Pacific Square Shopping Centre Maroubra,
Little Piazza Restaurant, Petrozzi Wellness Centre, Sydney Airport Corporation, GRD Outdoor Solutions and Mercure Hotel (Accor
Group) to the Randwick Petersham family! And with last season’s sponsors following up this summer, it was a new record of
support for the club. The generosity of all our sponsors enables us to fulfil programs and provide facilities we would not have
been able to without their involvement. Their importance to our continued success is immeasurable and we thank them all for
their ongoing support and friendship. Special thanks to Sydney City Toyota for assisting our English import Rory Burns with the
use of a vehicle during his stay.
Life Member Neale Anderson, has been simply outstanding running our sponsorship program and he has put together a detailed
list of our sponsors elsewhere in this report. I urge all members and club followers to return the support they have given us by
helping develop their businesses through use of their facilities, expertise and products. Many thanks to those members of Neale’s
committee, Aden Nawaz, James Wynn, Anyes McLean, John Stewart, John McLoughlin, Glenn Lynch and David Bourke. You have
been most professional in your approach to this program which is clearly reflected in its overall success.
With the increase in contributions from our sponsors and some prudent management expertise we have managed to stay on the
right side of the financial ledger. When I first started in Grade Cricket almost 40 years ago, annual expenditure was a tick over
$6,000 a year. Now we are in the hundreds of thousands of dollars. That is quite an impost for an amateur sporting club like ours
but of course, it’s the way of the world and we have to keep up-to-date with the ongoing financial demands and manage the
whole exercise with due diligence. Fortunately we have the personnel to do just that with James Tyson, in only his second year as
Financial Controller doing an amazing job. CEO David Holland, who has just completed five years in the job, also provides some
valuable financial acumen alongside his demanding role in managing the day-to-day affairs of this club. I personally would like to
thank David for the support he has provided me throughout the past 12 months and for that matter, the previous four years.
And talking about people performing in roles long-term, they don’t get any longer than 13 years which is the time the Wright
brothers, Alan and Peter along with David Townsend have been serving this club. The club has only been going 13 years yet we
have had just one Chairman of Selectors in Alan Wright. It’s a job where many give up and tear their hair out. Yet Alan has
provided a source of experience and dedication in a role which goes a long way towards determining what we produce on the
cricket field. As he first joined Randwick in 1966, some 48 years ago, his involvement since that time has been inspirational. Peter
has been our eyes and ears at Association level for the same length of time while providing legal advice when required. He also
chairs the Randwick Petersham Cricket Foundation which provides the club with much needed financial security. David Townsend
has been involved with the club’s junior development program since our first season in 2001-02 and the feedback this season
from schools and local associations has been generous and positive. We are fortunate to have such people at the management
level of our club.
Our publicity people again had a busy year with a swag of information covering just about everything which happens in the club
appearing regularly on our computer screen. David Bourke, as Assistant CEO, again did a power of work with his match reports
and email distribution, photographer Alan Vaughan was fantastic in capturing all the exciting moments on film while John
McLoughlin took our website to new heights with the amount of information it now contains. You can hardly miss a cricket score
these day with the coverage we have on facebook and twitter as well. They even managed some good coverage in the
metropolitan press of Grant Rimmer’s effort in taking hat-trick in a match where an opposing bowler did the same thing!
Club historian Lyall Gardner was again very active providing match previews and other facts and figures along with his work on
the annual report and in running our support group “The Legends”. He also was able to include on the website a short club
biography of our 48 life members as well as the stats and story behind each of our 89 1st Grade players. Lyall was also involved in
writing a book on one of the club’s historic moments when founding club Marrickville won its only 1st Grade premiership in 194344, over 70 years ago. I know that he was thrilled when membership of “The Legends” finally passed 100. He is also heavily
involved in our Foundation.
And speaking about promotions, the dedication of John Stewart our Museum Curator never ceases to amaze me. For a young
bloke to have such an interest in the history of the club and to work overtime to locate and display all sorts of memorabilia and
the like so that we can all appreciate those who have gone before us is just incredible. Off his own bat he approached Randwick
Council and was able to organise an exhibition of club memorabilia in their library at Maroubra which continued for a couple of
months! It was an outstanding display and a wonderful promotion for the club in the community. He is like a detective the way
he can track down ancient cricket items and information as well as bringing many people from bygone eras back into contact with
the club. The museum at Coogee Oval is a real showpiece which John and Bobby Barter before him, can be justifiably proud.

At last year’s Annual General Meeting the election of office bearers took just a couple of minutes because there were no changes.
To me, this is one of Randwick Petersham’s great strengths. We have a stable and settled management team. Many on the
committee have served for a number of years giving the club a level of experience and expertise which money can’t buy. Apart
from the Wrights, David Townsend, David Bourke and David Holland who I mentioned earlier, Bill Anderson, Neale Anderson,
Nigil Singh, Chris Sullivan and Peter Devlin have been a tower of strength over the years. Anyes McLean also came on to
committee three years ago and hasn’t stopped working for this club since. Her work with our cricket wear and social events
knows no bounds. It is also comforting to have a person with the status and integrity of Alan Turner as our patron.
Anyes, Chris Sullivan and Neale Anderson did themselves proud with the President’s Luncheon this season. Last year’s event was
a hard gig to follow when we had such big names as Michael Holding, Joel Garner, Brian Lara and Jeff Thomson. However, with an
old mate of mine in Sir Ian Botham on hand it was never going to be anything but a great function and that’s the way it turned
out. And to top it off, “Beefy” tipped a 5-0 whitewash in the Ashes Series. Only problem was he picked the wrong team to dish
out the 5-0 hiding! How good was that! Well done, Chris, Anyes and Neale. Brilliant stuff.
Our “Ladies Day” at Coogee Oval to assist the McGrath Foundation was another outstanding event socially and financially
allowing us to make a sizeable donation to that charity. It was also good to see so many “Legends” joining in on the day and
paying a visit to the museum as well. And to top off a terrific social calendar we finished the season with our Presentation Night
at the Maroubra Sports Club where the “star act” I am pleased to say was The Mike Whitney Band! Great to be able to “keep it
all in the family”! Once again Anyes and “Fous” Sullivan put in the hard yards in the organising.
Bill Anderson (Director of Coaching) and Alan Wright (Coaching Co-Ordinator) headed up an experienced coaching group. They
took a slightly different approach to recent seasons by allocating specific coaches to particular grades which proved to be a
successful innovation. I know that Andrew Millican, Peter Devlin, David Skuthorpe, Darren Smith and Denis Hinds along with a
number of others put in countless hours to ensure it worked out as well as it did. Their involvement on match days also proved
invaluable as was the team management assistance provided by people like Alan Vaughan among others.
I am delighted to report that the ideals of trust, respect and humility which I have been pushing ever since I took on the
presidency of this club were followed without incident this season. Indeed, we continue to perform well in the SCA Spirit of
Cricket ratings finishing sixth behind Sydney University. A slight drop on our second place last season but we are still producing
the goods. And congratulations to Rod Stafford and his 2nd graders who finished on top in their grade! All captains and officials
along with Grant Rimmer who again headed the Players Leadership Group can take a bow!
It was also an important occasion this season when 1st Grade returned to Petersham Oval after a break of almost five years. This
came about due to the hard work by Wayne Mulherin who oversaw the discussions with Marrickville Council which enabled
Green Options to prepare both the wickets and outfield at the oval each week. Two 1st Grade and four 2nd Grade matches were
hosted at the ground this summer in a sign of much better things to come in the seasons ahead. Coogee Oval rated sixth-best 1st
Grade ground which was very pleasing. Well done to all the guys from Green Options!
It’s a big statement to make but I believe we are where we are due to our happy band of volunteers. They have been and remain
our lifeblood. Over our 13 years we have had so many great helpers. Some doing a lot. Some doing a little. But together doing all
that is necessary and a bit more to make this club what it is today. Randwick Petersham runs smoothly. This is because no-matter
what we need to get done we have the personnel in our ranks to get it done. And done with a smile which is what everyone who
rocks up to our canteens gets from our wonderful group of ladies behind the counter! How lucky we are to have people such as
Robin Gardner, Sue Otto, Faye Semple, Julie Kennedy, Judy Stapleton, Amy Singh, Karen Charlwood and others making match
days and other functions all that more enjoyable. They will never be “unsung heroes” as we will never stop singing their praises!
It is a sad fact of life that each year we mention the loss of people who have held a special place in our hearts and in the heart of
our club. Among others closely associated with the club this year we lost a volunteer “icon” in Helen Milford who spent 54 of her
91 years serving afternoon tea at Marrickville and Petersham ovals. In recent months a former Randwick coach and one of the
best in the coaching business, Barry Davison, passed on aged just 66. I know I speak for everyone who knew them that while this
club and the world of cricket is the poorer for their passing it is much the richer for their involvement with the great game.
In conclusion I would like to thank one and all for their support, dedication, loyalty and hard work throughout the past 13 years.
And while I still struggle to get my head around the fact I have been President for those same 13 years I have to say it has been
one of the highlights of my life. We have a young and exciting talent base and if you are looking forward to 2014-15 as much as I
am you are in for a real treat with Randwick Petersham Cricket!

Mike Whitney, President
REPORT OF THE MANAGEMENT COMMITTEE
Overall it’s been a good year. The Club was 6th in terms of Club Championship points (9th in 2012-13
and 12th in 2011-12) and this shows steady improvement over the last three seasons. 1st Grade won
the T20 for the second time in three seasons; all other grades had reasonable seasons finishing in the
top half of their respective draws and the Club has polled well in the Spirit of Cricket Award.
In addition, we have had a number of players being called up to participate in representative teams.
Jake Scicluna was selected in the NSW U19 team, Nathan Price was selected in the Indigenous 2014
NSW Imparja Cup team, Cooper Smith was selected in the A W Green Shield Seconds, Henry
Thornton was selected in the NSW U17 team and National under 18 talent squad, and our 1st Grade
scorer Chris McLeod was called up to score in the Ryobi match between NSW and South Australia.
While the players have a major role in the way the club performs, it is clear that a sound management structure, a good
coaching team, well managed finances and a strong volunteer and supporter base are the hallmarks of any club that wants to be
called great. And we are a great club with a great track record to date. Can I pay tribute to both Bill Anderson who heads up RP’s
cricketing operations and Neale Anderson who oversees the sponsorship arm of the club for the significant work they have put
in in the 2013-14 season.
At an administrative level, in 2013-14 the Management Committee met on six occasions to discuss the way forward and matters
affecting the club. The Committee received regular reports from Bill Anderson, Head of Cricket Operations regarding the
coaching and playing side of the club, James Tyson, Financial Controller, on the club’s finances, David Bourke and Peter Devlin on
grounds and in particular Petersham Oval, David Townsend on Junior Development, Neale Anderson on all mattters relating to
the club’s sponsorship, Peter Wright on SCA / NSWCA cricket matters and Chris Sullivan on social events. The Leadership Group
was represented by Grant Rimmer, Brandon McLean, John McLoughlin and Nick Stapleton who contributed to discussions at
meetings and provided a strong player perspective ensuring that the club stays closely connected to its players. We can be
thankful for the stability, drive and hard work of the current Management Committee.
CLUB OPERATIONS - On the Club Operations front there were a few changes. Shayne Smith, Dylan Smith and Cam Borgas left the
club and we welcomed test player David Warner but the core of 1st Grade players recruited by Bill Anderson in the 2011-12
season remained together and performed well. 1st Grade won the T20 and performed creditably coming ninth in the one day
competition, and third in the two day competition. A pleasing aspect of grade performance was seeing 3rd Grade do well, and
even though they came twelfth, the team saw a number of players develop who will continue to occupy senior grade positions
next season. In particular I refer to Nick Charlwood who captained 3rd Grade at the commencement of the season before being
promoted to 2nd Grade mid-season and scored 542 runs and took 25 wickets in all grades that he played in.
Can I also mention the huge input to the club by favourite and much-loved son Simon Katich. He is a former West Australian
and has been with the club for most of its history. In the 2003-04 season he became the Club’s first player to be selected to
play both Test Cricket and One Day Cricket for Australia. In that season Simon went on to win the Steve Waugh Medal (NSW
Player of the Season) and presented Usman Khawaja with his 1st Grade cap. In 2009-10 he won the Allan Border Medal
(Australian Test Player of the Year) and captained the NSW Sheffield Shield team. Simon has been nominated by Mike
Whitney and Bill Anderson for Life Membership and if endorsed will receive the award at the AGM on 10 July 2014.
A huge thank you to all coaches. Our approach is different to many clubs who appoint one coach only. We appointed a
number of coaches including Andrew Millican, Darren Smith, Peter Devlin, David Skuthorpe, Denis Hinds and Nick Stapleton
under the control of Coaching Co-ordinator Alan Wright and this format seems to be paying dividends.
GROUNDS - The management of grounds is a huge responsibility. However our partnership with Randwick Council over the years
has been a strong one and the standard of grounds at Coogee, Snape and Kensington has been well above average. This has
been strengthened through our long association with Green Options who prepare both wickets and outfield. SCA umpire ground
ratings saw Coogee ranked 6th out of 20, Kenso 25th out of 40 and Snape 12th out of 40.
Petersham Oval continued to host to a number of senior games this season including two 1st Grade games. 2nd Grade played
four times at Peto and the standard of the wicket (prepared by Green Options) was very good and the outfield significantly
improved following Green Options taking over this area of responsibility from Council for the first time in the 2013-14 season.
After being ranked a disappointing 38th out of 39 in 2012-13, Peto was ranked 10th out of 40 in 2013-14. Wayne Mulherin has
continued his efforts with Peto and his work with Marrickville Council has seen considerable improvement in our relationship
with Council over recent years. Wayne was in a major way responsible for the new contract with Council which allowed the club
to engage its own groundsmen (Green Options) with Council contributing to the cost of the works. This arrangement will
continue in the 2014-15 season.
10
SPONSORSHIP - The club’s finances during the 2013-14 season improved markedly mainly as a result of Neale Anderson’s efforts
on the sponsorship front. He has done a tremendous job. Can I pay tribute to our sponsors who generously helped the club this
season. They are Bendigo Bank (Clovelly Community Branch), Picketts Health, Petersham RSL, Sydney City Toyota, Kingsgrove
Sports, Canon, Greg Chapple Cricket Centre, Flight Centre Coogee, MSA , Beastwear, JWI Advisory Group, Euphoria Sports
Management, CE Chapman Lawyers, BP Woodward and Asssociates, Alan Wright and Associates, Sun Life Screen, GRD Outdoor
Solutions, Cartwright Insurance Brokers, Accor Hotels, Sydney Airport Corporation, Pacific Square Maroubra, Petrozzi Wellness
Centre, Sauce Bar and Grill, Little Piazza Bar and Grill, Sydney Roosters, Mercure Hotel and Mike Whitney Promotions. I must
reiterate President Mike Whitney’s comments in this Annual Report and offer sincere thanks to Aden Nawaz, James Wynn,
Anyes McLean, John Stewart, John McLoughlin, Glenn Lynch, David Bourke as well as Mike Whitney himself, who together with
Neale, helped with the sponsorship effort.
CLOTHING – Anyes McLean has for a few seasons now done a great job in managing the clothing requirement of the club. It’s
not an easy job. Liaising with Neale Anderson to ensure sponsors logos are placed appropriately, dealing with suppliers and
making sure the gear arrives on time - all to a budget that James Tyson sets - it’s not easy. She in addition parents two
tremendous cricket playing sons, Brandon and Hayden who themselves contribute significantly to the club. But our gear has
never looked so good and to Anyes, the club’s first female Management Committee representative, for her continued and
significant efforts, the club extends its most grateful thanks.
A SALUTE – I must pay tribute to long time RP supporter and volunteer Cec Orrock. Cec together with Peter English has been a
long time helper at 1st Grade home ground games sweeping the pitch between innings and re-lining the crease. In recent times
he has had help from Kim Stapleton and Tony Biviano. Now aged 87, Cec had discussions with the club toward the end of the
2013-14 season and has decided to hand over this role to others in the upcoming season. Cec Orrock (who together with Peter
English) won the Clubman of the Year - Non Player Award (The Bernie Bayley Memorial Award) in 2009-10 season, we salute you
for your effort and contribution to the Randwick Petersham Cricket Club over many years.
May I also thank the ladies in our club – our mums, wives, girlfriends, sisters and daughters. There are a number who have
played significant roles in the club and I thank Anyes McLean, Robin Gardner, Faye Semple, Sue Otto, Julie Kennedy, Judy
Stapleton, Amy Singh and Karen Charlwood.
Last but not least, thankyou to all supporters and volunteers who give up their time and effort to enjoy and contribute to a great
club.

Sponsorship and Marketing
New Sponsors
Season 2013-14 was an exciting one of sponsorship for the club with the addition of some important new sponsors. In
addition to retaining key sponsors again we added some high profile new sponsors that increase our total number to over
25 organisations.
New sponsors this year were:
• Sydney City Toyota
• Pacific Square Shopping Centre Maroubra
• Little Piazza Restaurant
• Petrozzi Wellness Centre
• Sydney Airport Corporation
• GRD Outdoor Solutions
• Mercure Hotel (Accor Group)
In turn we aim to recognise their support by giving back what we can in terms of business and referrals while helping
develop their businesses through use of their facilities, expertise and products. Their contact details are located
elsewhere in this report and we implore all club members, supporters and Legends to support our sponsors and donors.
Social Media
Facebook – it’s a sign of the times but we do have a Facebook page! For all the latest news and game day score updates
follow us on Facebook and “like” our sponsors Facebook pages. Thanks to David Bourke for leading this great social media
strategy. It’s here: http://www.facebook.com/RandwickPetershamCricket
Canon photographic competition
The Canon photographic competition for the best cricket related photos was again run and won – with over 100 entries it
was a hard choice to pick the three winners – thanks Canon.
Flight Centre Awards
Via our sponsors at Flight Centre Coogee, this year we had the following awards:
1. Awards for those club members who sent their business to the sponsors.
2. The Randy Petes MVP – winner was Kushaal Ram
Euphoria Sports Management also sponsored an award for the most outstanding performance of each round. Thanks to
James Wynn and ESM. There were over 25 winners form all grades who collected a $250 voucher to spend at one of our
sponsors.
Media
John Stewart has made a big impact in getting Randy Petes a lot more media coverage in the last season. We appeared on
Fox Sports, the ICC cricket show (thanks to Dave Townsend), and in all the local papers. Our thanks to the Inner West
Courier, Southern Courier and the Beast Magazine.
The RandyPetes Brand
You thought we were a cricket club. But we are a potential brand that wields the willow! You will have noticed a few
changes last year in our clothing, featuring the italicised Randy Petes logo. Also this year we have developed polo shirts
with the Randy Petes logo. Check them out on the website.
It’s the Team
Like any successful effort it was the result of a team effort. My and the clubs’ special thanks go to James Wynn, Aden
Nawaz, Anyes McLean, David Bourke, John McLoughlin, John Stewart, Glenn Lynch and President Mike Whitney – all gave
generously of their time to create and convert sponsorship opportunities.
Watch out in 2014-15 as we go on the social media offensive to promote our sponsors!
12
These are the sponsors and donors of Randwick Petersham Cricket for season 2013 - 14:
Picketts Health is an Australian personal hand hygiene company with a
great innovative product they hope to dominate global sales with.
Although a start-up company, founder Jeremy Pyers is a passionate
cricket fan and we hope they continue our relationship in ‘14-15.
John and Suzi Petrozzi and their team provide a range of health
services, including Chiropractic, Wellness Psychology, Life Coaching
and Integrative Medicine. Worked with some of our 1st Grade squad
to maximise performance.
Continues to be a Major Sponsor of RPCC. The Club provides financial
support to our Junior Development Program and modern social
facilities at the RSL Club. Thanks Peto RSL!
Who said bankers don’t have a heart? Bendigo Bank – Clovelly
Community Branch joined us last season as a major sponsor and have
been a delight to work with. The RPCC Foundation now banks with
them as do several club members and businesses. If ever there was a
cause to support, it’s sending your business to banks like this who
connect with their community and don’t just pay lip service to the
notion. Bravo!
Sydney City Toyota – great brand, great service and a great team.
Joined the Randy Petes family this season and it’s been great doing
business with them. Hosted our season launch and provided a
sponsored car for our overseas player Rory Burns. Several member
purchased cars from SCT.
Special thanks to Harry Solomons and the team at KSC. Harry is
renowned for his generosity and assisted the club with a substantial
cash sponsorship this season and the provision of memorabilia for the

New Records This Season 2013-14
10th wicket 1st Grade: When last man in Jake Wilson joined Daniel Sams in the 1st Grade match against Northern
District at Mark Taylor Oval, the total was a shaky 9-114. When Sams was eventually caught for a well-made 75 in off
165 balls they had batted for 126 minutes putting on 85 for the 10th wicket to set a new club record for 1st Grade.
Wilson finished 30 not out. The previous best was 73 between Eddie Otto and Burt Cockley against Eastern Suburbs in
2008-09. Unfortunately their great work did not save the match.
10th wicket 1st Grade: Jake Wilson was again the man on the spot when he joined 19 years old Jake Scicluna at the
wicket at Coogee Oval in the Qualifying Final against Mosman. The score was a disastrous 9-110 with Scicluna on 35.
Over the next 76 minutes the pair put on 93 with Scicluna eventually dismissed for an outstanding 119 off 181 balls in
185 minutes. Wilson remained not out 7 from 43 balls. The partnership was the difference between the sides with
Mosman being defeated by 46 runs enabling Randwick Petersham to progress to the semi-final. It broke the record of
85 set just six months earlier.
7th wicket 5th Grade: The score had slumped to 6-62 when Neale Crawford and Anthony McGinness came together in
the 5th Grade match against North Sydney at Kensington Oval. When Crawford departed for 74 the pair had put on 113
equalling the 5th Grade club record for the 7th wicket. McGinness made 34 and the final total of 191 was enough to get
the points as North’s were bowled out for 116.
7th wicket 1st Grade: Adam Semple and Daniel Sams came together with the score an ordinary 6-127 against
Sutherland at Glenn McGrath Oval. They put on a 1st Grade record 121 in 157 minutes with Semple going on to score
109 and Sams 48. The previous best was 117 set in 2001-02 by Richard Chee Quee and Paul Staunton. Their score was
just 12 short of the club record of 133 for the 7th wicket.
1st wicket 1st Grade: The unconquered 165 scored by Rory Burns (80*) and Nick Stapleton (75*) for the first wicket
against Bankstown at Bankstown Oval equalled the previous first wicket partnership record set in 2002-03 by Paul
Toole and Joe Hill against Gordon at Petersham Oval. The target was 164 giving the side a 10 wickets win.
10th wicket 4th Grade: When Grant Rimmer joined Oshanka Perera with the side 9-124 against St George at Petersham
Oval in the last round of the season the prospects of a win looked a little slim. However, showing great resolve the pair
put on an unconquered 66 and set a new team record for the 10th wicket and give Saints a solid chase of 9-190. Perera
finished with 56* and Rimmer 25*. As it turned out St George was 8-101 when a storm washed out play giving 4ths the
game courtesy of the Duckworth Lewis method. Interestingly, the 66 runs broke a record set only in round 3 when Jaya
Murdita (48*) and Mitchell Jones (21) put on 58 to break the previous best partnership of 51 set by Benn West and
Grant Rimmer in 2007-08 against Blacktown. That partnership enabled the 4th Grade side to record a win by just 18
runs confirming their batting was the difference between the teams.
Best Bowling
•
•
Poidevin Gray: Daniel Sams recorded the best-ever bowling performance for the club in Poidevin Gray when he took 522 against Manly-Warringah at Coogee Oval in round 1. His amazing effort included a hat-trick, the first ever in PG’s for
the club. The previous best was set by Nick Charlwood with 5-28 in 2008-09.
5th Grade: Andrew Sprowls took 8 for 32 at Kensington Oval against North Sydney in 5th Grade to register the bestever bowling performance for the club in that grade. The previous best was 8-34 by Simon McKenzie in 2003-04.
Best Batting
•
English County Championship “Breakthrough Player of 2013” Rory Burns joined us from Surrey CC this season. In a 1st
Grade Twenty20 match against Manly at Manly Oval he batted throughout the 20 overs scoring 102* with 11 fours and
4 sixes to assist his side to a solid win.
Low Score
•
In round 5 our 3rd Grade side bowled out Blacktown for a new record low score of 35 in 16.2 overs before scoring 3-47
declared in 17 overs. The previous low score record against our 3rd Grade was by Campbelltown-Camden with 55 in
2007-08.
Record Winning Margin
•
1st Grade set a new club record defeating Bankstown by 10 wickets in a limited overs match at Bankstown Oval. It was
the first time the side had won by 10 wickets in a single innings. Bankstown were dismissed for 164. In the run chase
Rory Burns was 80 not out and Nick Stapleton 75 not out when the target was passed in 34.5 overs. Interestingly our
record losing performance in a single innings was against Bankstown in 2005-06 when they won by 9 wickets after
bowling us out for just 64.
Record losing Margin
•
•
•
4th Grade: Playing Bankstown at Coogee Oval 4th Grade were dismissed for 134 chasing 8-264 to lose the 50 overs
match by 130 runs, the team’s greatest ever losing margin in a single innings. The previous record was 122 when
Northern District won in 2008-09.
3rd Grade: It equalled a losing record in 3rd Grade when Sydney bowled our team out for 129 and scored 1-133 in
return to win by 9 wickets. In 2005-06 Campbelltown-Camden scored 1-140 in response to our 138.
5th Grade: 5th Grade recorded its worst outright loss when Gordon bowled out the side for 60 and 99 in response to
their 218. The losing margin was an innings and 59 runs. It was the first outright loss by such a margin.

The 2013-14 Grade Season in Summary
Sats. 28 Sept-5 Oct 2013
Round 1 v Northern District (2 Day matches)
1st Grade: lost by 5 wkts @ Mark Taylor —199 to 5-263: Winning the toss and batting on a hot day was a recipe for a run feast but at 5-
57 it was anything but. Worse was to follow with the 9th wicket falling at 114. Daniel Sams was then joined by last man Jake Wilson and the
pair set about putting some respectability into the total. Over the following 126 minutes they set a new club 1st Grade record partnership of
85 before Sams holed out for a patient 75 in 199 minutes. Wilson remained unconquered on 30. And while Wilson made an early breakthrough
on day 2 with only 10 fielders after new recruit David Warner failed to arrive, it was all one-way traffic as the target was achieved with ease.
2nd Grade: lost by 147 runs @ Coogee—206 to 7-353 dec: The decision by skipper Rod Stafford back-fired in spectacular fashion as the
Rangers piled on the runs. In the run chase only three batsmen got starts but Will Passas (49), John McLoughlin (43) and Alex Sciascia (26)
could not go on and get the big score the situation demanded.
3rd Grade: won by 43 runs @ Asquith—8-297 dec to 254: New skipper Nick Charlwood lost the toss and RPC batted in good batting
conditions. Our top order flourished with Tom Holland (100), Bart Lynch (63) and veteran Matt Hilder (57) piling on the runs. In response on
day 2, ND’s were looking comfortable at 2-140. Great bowling from James Tyson (4-32 from 18 overs) and grade debutante 16 years-old legspinner Jack Preddey (4-95 off 25 successive overs) turned the tide.
4th Grade: won by 6 wkts @ Petersham—8-200 dec to 150 and 1-100: The Rangers won the toss and looked good at 0-62. The
introduction of Josh James (3-21 from 9 overs) changed the game. From there Chris Singh (3-14 from 6) and Nigil Singh (3-33 off 11.3) helped
bundle ND’s out for 150 in 49.3 overs. The RPC batting effort was dominated by an attacking Karl Schubert who hit his second ton for the club
with 109 including 11 fours and 4 sixes.
5th Grade: won by 4 wkts @ Storey Park—6-236 to 230: Two early wickets to 17 years old Jaya Murdita had ND’s on the back foot but
at 2-102 then 5-172 a big score was in the offing. However, three quick wickets to Cam Fowler (3-38) and a late one to Murdita (3-34) with
skipper Jason McLean bowling well in the middle stages (2-53 off 18 overs) caused a late-order collapse. In reply it was Mitch Selwood (58) and
McLean (55) followed by Murdita (33*) completing a fine double to bring up the points and continue 5ths amazing record of never having been
beaten by Northern District (8 wins 2 draws).
Round 2 v Eastern Suburbs (2 Day matches)
Sats. 12-19 Oct 2013
1st Grade: won by 3 wkts @ Waverley—8-246 to 183: Debutante Nathan Ellis celebrated with an early wicket before finishing with 2-24
off 11 after another new player David Warner had run out the opener before he had faced a ball. With Soumil Chhibber taking the figures with
3-36 off 14 the final score of 183 looked well within reach. With Warner gone for 8, Stapleton for 0 and Scicluna for 8 it was backs to the wall
at 5-63 at stumps day 1. Resolve by captain Adam Semple to grind out 34 off 141 balls set the scene for Nathan Price (56 off 118) and Chhibber
(57 off 94) to take the points.
2nd Grade: won by 31 runs @ Coogee—9-293 dec to 262: Batting first it was Rishabh Shah with 128 (257 balls, 19 fours and a six) and
John McLoughlin with 63 (136 balls and 9 fours) in a partnership of 141 which set the tone for a big score. However, the loss of 6 for 25 at the
end left the side short of 300. In reply, Easts were cruising at 0-149 before James Tyson took 3 quickies to have them 3-172. When skipper
Stafford chimed in with 3 more assisted by David Bolton (1-30) and Hayden McLean (2-54) the collapse was complete. Stafford finished with 464 off 28 overs and Tyson 3-88 off 28.
3rd Grade: won outright by 6 wkts @ Trumper—8-165 dec & 4-84 to 71 & 171: With Nick Charlwood (2-16) and Josh James (2-19)
getting the early breakthrough Nigil Singh (6-18) finished them off for 71. At 5-53 in reply it was left to Charlwood (32), James (49) and Jack
Preddey (29*) to grab a 94 lead. In reply it was all Preddey with 6-41 and Singh 2-30 both off 15 to leave 77 for the outright. Karl Schubert
smashed a quickfire 47 with Andy Coles (20*) to ensure a big win.
4th Grade: lost by 5 wkts @ Petersham—96 & 6-169 dec to 5-101 dec & 7-119: From 1-37 to all out 96 with only Kushaal Ram (24)
and Tom Evans (21) showing any resolve.
Still a chance at 5-76 in response with Nathan Stares’ 2-4 off 7 best. Ram (55) and Oshanka
Perera (25) set up a second dig target of 165. At 7-73 an unexpected outright looked on the cards before Easts closed up. Chris Singh (2-14),
Jaya Murdita (2-29) and Grant Rimmer (2-34) were best of the bowlers.
5th Grade: lost by 11 runs @ Snape—102 to 113 & 3-53: Nick Hardie (4-25 off 10 overs) and spinner Cam Fowler (4-21 off 6) ensured we
would have only a small target. At 4-74 we were well on the way to an easy win. The wheels fell off unfortunately with the last 6 falling for just
28 for a shattering loss for only the third time in 10 clashes between the teams. Rehaan Nawaz (31), Neale Crawford (24) and Hardie (17*)
were the only bats to make double figures.
Round 3 v North Sydney (2 Day matches)
Sats. 26 Oct-2 Nov 2013
1st Grade: won by 113 runs @ Coogee—9-296 dec to 183 & 2-38: Simon Katich (41) and Sean Eaton (41) batted well but at 7-175 the
score looked below par on a hot day. Daniel Sams (45), Soumil Chhibber (28) and Brandon McLean (40* off 52 balls with 3 sixes) finished off
the innings in style however, posting a competitive final score. Early wickets to young quick Nathan Ellis had North’s reeling at 2-13 in the run
chase on day 2. Ellis (3-23 off 12 overs) then bowled the Bear’s skipper for 31 in an over later described by respected umpire Greg Davidson
“the best over he had seen all season”. With the score 4-154 Nick Stapleton got into the act taking 4 quick wickets and when Chhibber (2-31)
cleaned up the game was all over. In the follow-on Stapleton took 2-5 to add to his 4-49 off 15 in the first dig for 6-54 for the match.
2nd Grade: won by 103 runs @ Bon Andrews—3-272 dec to 169 & 5-152: North’s won the toss and looked good at 0-53 but when
James Tyson took 3 quick wickets the score slumped to 3-63. With Hayden McLean (2-34) and Rod Stafford (2-48) chipping in, Tyson was
brought back and finished off the innings to give him 5-53 off 15.4 overs). David Bolton (59) and Alex Sciascia posted 101 for the first wicket in
reply. Shah then went early but Will Passas (44) and Sciascia took the score to 205. At the end ot was Alex Sciascia the master with a
magnificent 136, his second in 2nd Grade. Jordan Magro took 3-28 in the North’s second dig with Tyson 1-50 and Stafford 1-11 doing well.
3rd Grade: won by 7 wkts @ Petersham—3-241 to 238: It was almost the “Nick Charlwood show” as the young skipper took 3-61 off 17
overs then scored his maiden century opening the batting to finish with 109. Nigil Singh was outstanding with 4-34 off 20 overs.
20
4th Grade: won by 18 runs @ Tunks—194 to 176: Despite a typical 40 from Karl Schubert and a solid 52 from Kushaal Ram the 9-136
scoreline was anything but impressive in perfect batting conditions on day 1. However, a determined last wicket partnership of 58 by Jaya
Murdita (48*) and Mitchell Jones (21) which broke the 4th Grade club record put some semblance of respectability into the final total. In the
run chase it was the two batting heroes Murdita (3-27) and Jones (2-33) aided by Chris Singh (3-57) to save the day and grab a narrow victory.
5th Grade: won by 75 runs @ Kensington—191 &1-77 to 116: Andrew Sprowls produced the best bowling performance EVER in 5th
Grade for the club when he took 8-32 to demolish North Sydney as they went from 0-40 to 116 all out. In our innings, the score had slumped
to 6-62 when Neale Crawford and Anthony McGinness came together. When Crawford departed for 74 the pair had put on 113 equalling the
5th Grade club record for the 7th wicket. McGinness made 34. Ashley Burton made a dashing 67 (14 fours) in his first grade game opening in
the second innings. The win not only gave 5ths a great win but it also gave the club its 12th “Greenwash” (wins in all 5 grades)!
Round 4 v Sutherland (2 Day matches)
Sats. 9-16 Nov 2013
1st Grade: lost by 1 wkt @ Glenn McGrath—272 to 9-275: This was one of the great 1st Grade cricket games. With two to win and the
last two Sutherland batsmen at the crease and both yet to score, three maidens were bowled with many balls passing by the edge of their
bats. A desperate slog at the end through the bowler Jake Wilson’s outstretched fingers and the points were theirs! It could have gone our way
many times. What a game! It was a match of ebb and flow. On day one at 6-127 including Simon Katich back in the pavilion, runs were hard to
come by. But when skipper Adam Semple (109 off 185 balls—his 4th in 1st Grade) and Daniel Sams (48) put on 121, a new record for the 7th
wicket, a competitive total had been posted. With a two hour rain delay on day two the odds were in our favour. The Sharks did well to get to
0-59 until Jake Wilson switched ends. He then cut a swathe through the top half taking 5 wickets, including the prized scalp of Phil Jaques for a
duck, to reduce them to 5-96. A hard-hitting 6th wicket partnership of 129 after tea however, swung the pendulum the Sharks way before
Wilson had his sixth. With 50 to get and 4 wickets in the bank it was a hard slog for both sides. When Daniel Sams struck at 242, 267 and 271 it
was edge of the seat stuff for those lucky enough to be at the ground. For 13 minutes with no runs and many plays and misses it was a dream
finale despite the outcome going against us. The performance of Jake Wilson—29.3 overs, 10 maidens, 6 for 67 was a stunning exhibition of
swing bowling delivered to perfection. It brought back memories of Bob Massie taking 16 wickets at Lords in 1972. The bowling by Dan Sams
(3-59 off 21) “at the death” was also a performance of a player displaying far greater maturity than his 21 years. A brilliant match.
2nd Grade: lost by 5 wkts @ Petersham—186 to 6-199: A good toss to win but the batting was ordinary as the score slumped to 8-119
with only John McLoughlin (42) and Rish Shah (39) showing any resolve. However, a rally by James Tyson (27) and Hayden McLean (28) added
61 for the 9th wicket to put some respectability into the score. On a wet day two an early wicket to Hayden McLean (1-32) helped the situation
but a 99 run partnership for the second wicket put them in a great position. Brandon McLean (5-71 off 20.2) bowled his leg-spinners well but
there were never enough runs to defend and the Sharks had an easy win.
3rd Grade: lost outright @ Sutherland—117 &130 to 5-118 dec & 5-130: Batting first Nick Charlwood was out for 1. Worse was to
follow at the score of 1- 11 as four wickets fell in four balls with the total slumping to 5-11. When top-scorer Barton Lynch (46) went it was left
to Jack Preddey (25) to hit out. The 117 target was never enough and the Sharks recovered from 5-73 to gain first innings points with Jaya
Murdita (3-33) and Charlwood (2-22) sharing the wickets. A 42 opening partnership in the second dig preceded a slump to 6-88 with a dashing
30 by Josh James getting the total to 130. Sutherland ran down the target in just 22 overs to take outright points (Charlwood 3-42).
4th Grade: lost by 79 runs @ Coogee—136 to 215: Sutherland was quickly in trouble at 2-6 and at 6-85 a low score looked our likely
target. The Sharks no.3 however, batted well with the tail to grab a century himself and get the total to a reasonable 215. Seven bowlers
shared the wickets with Andrew Sprowls (2-23) and Kushaal Ram (2-30) the best. Karl Schubert scored 32 of the first 40 and at 1-59 the run
chase was on track. However, losing the next 6 wickets for just 23 put paid to our chances. A few slogs from tailenders got the score to 136.
5th Grade: drawn @ Tonkin—230 to 2-29: A solid start saw the score 1-50. A bit of a slump and the score-line read 4-79. A quick 32 from
Ashley Burton helped and when Rob Huxley chipped in with 66 (11 fours and a six) we were able to post a reasonable target. An early run-out
and a wicket to captain Jason McLean left them 2-29 at stumps but heavy rain on day two ensured no further play in the match.
Round 5 v Blacktown (2 Day matches)
Sats. 23-30 Nov 2013
1st Grade: won by 182 runs @ Coogee—8-317 dec to 135 & 0-90: On a day when most 1st grade games in Sydney were rain affected,
play commenced on time with skipper Adam Semple confident of the conditions by batting first. That decision looked a little shaky with the
first 3 wickets down for 23. But resolute batting from Simon Katich (45) and Semple (67) and a magnificent 92 off 148 balls in 210 minutes by
Nathan Price enabled the tail to wag and post the side’s best score of the season. In the run chase, the first wicket fell at 25 but when the
score had reached 67, 8 wickets were down. A late order rally got the score to 135 but could not avoid a convincing win to RPC. Best of the
bowlers was Nick Stapleton (4-39) along with Jake Wilson (2-21), Nathan Ellis (2-4 off 7 overs) and Soumil Chhibber (1-35).
2nd Grade: won by 79 runs @ Joe McAleer—9-251 dec to 172: Sent in on day 2 after overnight rain for a one day 120 overs game after
day 1 was washed out, we were soon in trouble at 4-52. A solid partnership of 81 between Ben Marciante (47) returning from injury and John
McLoughlin settled things down while Brandon McLean (56) and McLoughlin (65) set the scene for a good score with another partnership of
93. Early wickets to Marciante (3-44) and Hayden McLean (2-26) had Blacktown on the ropes at 6 down for very few. A good fightback rallied
the troops however, and it wasn’t until Marciante claimed his third wicket with just 10 balls to go that the points were in the bag!
3rd Grade: won by 7 wkts @ Petersham—3/47 dec & 4-100 to 35 & 3-241 dec: Another match reduced to one-day with Blacktown
opting to bat first. Not a good decision as they were all out for 35 with Nick Charlwood (3-12), Jaya Murdita (3-16), Jack Preddey (2-1) and Nigil
Singh (1-2) sharing the wickets. Andy Coles’ 17* ensured first inns points but in the second dig it was all Blacktown as they blasted 241off 46
overs forcing us to defend until stumps with Charlwood (41) the top run-scorer. The score of 35 was a new “low score record” for 3rd Grade.
4th Grade: won by 7 wkts @ Jim Hanshaw—6-136 to 79 & 5-111: 4th Grade maintained their perfect record against Blacktown wining
their ninth match in succession in convincing fashion. Sending the western boys in to bat they were all out in 38 overs for just 79 with Josh
James (5-32) the destroyer assisted by Raj Routray (2-12) and Chris Singh (2-7) who brought up his 100th wicket in 4th Grade. It was a bit scary
in reply when we were 3-1 but Trent Griffiths (40), Kushaal Ram (39) and James (31) ensured there were no further hiccups. Five wickets were
down after 31 overs in the outright attempt with wickets shared.
5th Grade: won by 21 runs @ Kensington—252 to 231: We were a bit shaky at 5-102 having been sent in but solid batting by Ash Burton
(42), Mitch Selwood (78) and Rob Huxley (35) saved the day. In response, we were on top at 5-118 but a rally got them into a position to
threaten with the last two putting on 37. Rehaan Nawaz (5-39 off 13 overs) and Cam Fowler (2-41 off 13) bowled superbly for a great win.
21
Round 6 v Hawkesbury (2 Day match 1st Grade/ limited overs lowers)
Sat/Sun. 7-8 Dec 2013
1st Grade: won by 9 wkts @ Owen Earle—6-255 dec to 123 & 7-235: Daniel Sams and Jake Wilson struck early to have the Hawks
reeling at 3-22. Nick Stapleton chimed in with the score 74 but some solid batting got the score to 4-120. It was then that disaster struck for
the home side. Soumil Chhibber enticed a catch and Wilson bowled the no. 4 top-scorer. Chhibber grabbed another next over with the score
still 120. The first two balls of Wilson’s next over brought successive lbw results for a hat-trick to Wilson! Chhibber cleaned up and 6 wickets
had fallen for 3 runs! In reply, Rory Burns brought up a neat 71 losing only Nick Stapleton (23) in passing the target. Shaun Eaton (38) and
Adam Semple (33) added to the total before declaring with a 122 run lead. At 7-160 in the second dig the Hawks were in trouble before an
unfinished 75 partnership saved their day. Brandon McLean finished with 3-57 off 14 overs.
2nd Grade: won by 4 wkts @ Coogee—6-165 to 163: Good bowling made early inroads and although the tail wagged the target was
never going to be a big one. Rodney Stafford (3-29 off 9 overs); Ben Marciante (2-31 off 10); Jordan Magro (2-14 off3) and James Tyson (2-28
off 9.3) did the damage. In response John McLoughlin (38) did best with Jarryd Biviano (32*), David Bolton (22) and Rish Shah (22) assisting.
3rd Grade: lost by 10 runs @ Benson Lane 2—231 to 7-241: The Hawks looked in all sorts of trouble at 7-140 but a 101 unbroken
partnership got them into a commanding position with Nick Charlwood (3-54 off 10 overs) the best of our bowlers. At 4-75 in reply we were
very shaky before a 109 partnership between Tom Holland (80) and Trent Griffiths (39) had victory in their sights at 4-184. When both went for
the addition on 8 more runs the writing was on the wall as the tail fell away to finish 10 shorts with 3 balls remaining.
4th Grade: lost by 5 wkts @ Petersham—9-191 to 5-193: It was a struggle after winning the toss with 3 down for 34. The experience of
David Bourke (39) and Matt Hilder (37) in the middle order stabilised the situation although a late order slump was a problem before Mitch
Jones (18*) and Grant Rimmer (15*) added a valuable 34 for the last wicket. Victory was in sight with the Hawks 5-80 but thereafter it was all
one way traffic with the Hawks doing it easy with 3 overs left. Nick Saady (3-43 off 9 overs) and Raj Routray (2-28 off 8) shared the wickets.
5th Grade: won by 7 runs @ Benson Lane 3—7-211 to 204: Sent in to bat we were quickly in trouble at 3-27 before Mitch Selwood put
together a great knock of 53. Rob Huxley’s 69 put the finishing touches to a competitive score. Selwood followed up with the first wicket but at
3-138 it was Andrew Sprowls (4-26 off 10 overs) and Nathan Stares (4-44 of10) who took 6 wickets for the addition of only 17 runs to reduce
the Hawks to 9-155. However, a last wicket partnership of 49 was brought to an end with a smart run-out to give us a narrow win.
Round 7 v Sydney Uni. (2 Day match 1st Grade/ limited overs lowers)
Sat/Sun.14-15 Dec 2013
1st Grade: won outright by 8 wkts after losing on the 1st inns. @ Petersham—162 & 2-147 to 209 & 3-96 dec: It was either an
ambitious or generous declaration by Uni. skipper Greg Mail after the students had led by 47 on the first innings in an attempt to take outright
points. Given 144 to win outright in 33 overs RPC took up the challenge running down the total in just 30.2 to win outright. After being 2-18,
Shaun Eaton (69 off 81 balls with 10 fours and a six) and Nathan Price (63 off 82) put on the team’s best partnership of the season with an
unconquered 129 off 25.5 overs in just 91 minutes. In the first dig SU were cruising at 2-127 but lost 8 for 82 once Daniel Sams (2-55)
accounted for RPC nemesis Scott Henry (71). Star wicket-taker Jake Wilson finished with 5-78 while Price cleaned up with 3-14. Our run chase
was rather ordinary with only two batsmen exceeding 20 (Eaton 38 and Price 49) while a 28 run partnership for the 10th wicket assisted the
final total. With 96 runs off 24 overs after yet another Henry half-century, Greg Mail chanced his luck but the RPC batters were well up to the
mark with a fortunate but satisfying outright victory.
2nd Grade: lost by 14 runs @ No. 1 Sydney Uni.—154 to 9-168: At 2-121 a big Uni. score was in the offing after David Bolton (2-23 off
10) had taken the first two scalps. But a flurry of wickets saw Ben Marciante (3-29), Hayden McLean (2-36) and James Tyson (1-30) combine to
take 6-41 and keep Uni. to a manageable total. Losing early wickets put us under the pump to be 4-36 and when John McLoughlin (27) and
Rish Shah (20) went we had slumped to 7-97. A fight-back by Jarryd Biviano (35) and Tyson (18) saw victory in sight at 7-142 with 7 overs left
but the last 3 wickets fell for just 12 runs in the space of 3 overs and the game was lost.
3rd Grade: lost by 4 wkts @ Coogee—282 to 6-286: It was our second highest score of the season in 3rd Grade with skipper Nick
Charlwood making his second “ton” (100) in 5 games. Tom Holland made 44 while Jack Preddey chipped in with a fine 33. It looked enough but
the breakthroughs were slow in coming with 5 bowlers each taking a wicket as the target was achieved in 48.3 overs.
4th Grade: won by 4 wkts @ No. 2 Sydney Uni.-- 6-145 to 141 (+ 1 BONUS POINT): Uni. won the toss and batted but were back in
the pavilion after just 42.2 of the scheduled 50 overs due to Raj Routray (3-8 off 6.2 overs), Nick Saady (3-34 off 10) and Kushaal Ram (3-20 off
7). An attacking 64 run partnership between Barton Lynch (28) and David Bourke (38) ensured a win in just 28.4 overs earning a bonus point.
5th Grade: won by 3 runs @ Kensington—6-217 to 214: After batting first we were soon in trouble at 4-42. Oshanka Perera and Rob
Huxley got the score to 120 before Perera was stumped for 25 enabling Rehaan Nawaz to join Huxley and they put on 97. Mitch Selwood (3-39
off 10 overs) gave his side a great start with early wickets while Nawaz (2-35 off 9) and Andy Sprowls (1-28 off 10) ensured runs were hard to
come by. Cam Fowler came to the rescue when the game appeared lost to some late-order slogging and when he caught and bowled no.11 it
was all over with a victory by 3 runs at the end of the 49th over. Fowler finished with 3-30 off 7 overs.
Round 8 v Bankstown (Limited overs matches)
Sat.21 Dec 2013
1st Grade: won by 10 wkts @ Bankstown—0-165 to 164: This win set a new club record. It was the first time the 1st Grade team had
won by 10 wickets in a single innings. Bankstown were dismissed for 164 in 44 overs with Adam Semple (3-36), Jake Wilson (2-24) and Daniel
Sams (3-30) doing the damage. In the run chase Rory Burns was 80 not out and Nick Stapleton 75 not out when the target was passed in 34.5
overs. Stapleton brought up his 50 with a mighty six and did the same thing when only 5 runs were required to win. The score also equalled
the record for the first wicket partnership of 165 set in 2002-03.
2nd Grade: won by 2 wkts @ Petersham—8-263 to 262: Bankstown batted first and at 3-177 looked set for a huge total. 16 years old
Jack Preddey deputising for the injured Rod Stafford quickly swung the balance when he took 3 quick wickets including the Dogs centurymaker to have them 6-194. A late rally saw a solid total of 262 posted. Preddey (4-59 off 10 overs); James Tyson (3-36 off 9) and Ben Marciante
(2-54 off 9) bowled best. In reply it was all Alex Sciascia as he brought up his second ton of the season with a majestic 126 being dismissed just
7 runs short of the target. It was left to Jarryd Biviano (21*) to hit the winning runs with 2 balls remaining. Jake Scicluna (32) also played well.
3rd Grade: lost by 2 runs @ Jensen—227 to 229: A game of lost chances. Sent in Bankstown got to 4-208 before losing 6-21 to be out for
229. Brandon Lynch (3-27) and Nigil Sigh (3-35) led the bowlers who conceded 37 extras including 27 wides. In reply we were 4-189 before
losing the last 6 wickets for 38 with last man run out with a ball to go and 2 runs short. Best bats were Andy Coles (38) and Jordan Magro (63).
22
4th Grade: lost by 130 runs @ Coogee—134 to 8-264: This was a record loss in a single innings for 4th Grade. The previous record was a
loss by 122 runs. Nick Saady (3-49) and Andy Sprowls (2-55) were best of the bowlers as the Dogs piled on the runs. 27 wides were also
conceded. In reply only Oshanka Perera (39*) and Chris Singh (22) showed any real fight before going down in record fashion.
5th Grade: won by 46 runs @ Grahame Thomas—5-243 to 9-197: Sent in to bat we were away to a flyer with 81 for the first wicket
with Ravin DeSilva (32) scoring well. Mitch Selwood continued his good form with 38 but it was the 96 runs partnership for the 5th wicket
between Neale Crawford (47*) and Rob Huxley (66) which ensured a top score. Only 3 wickets fell to the bowlers with 2 run outs. In reply the
Dogs were doing OK at 3-114 but 3 smart stumpings by Anthony McGinness turned the tide enabling the bowlers to wrap up 6 wickets for 83
and take the points despite conceding 32 wides. Cam Fowler (2-27 off 10 overs), De Silva (2-19) and Connor Sykes-Morrison (2-55) were best.

Sat.11 January 2014
1st Grade: lost by 8 wkts @ Coogee—172 to 2-175: At 2-80 with Nick Stapleton in full flight a big score was on the cards. Losing 4 for 13
put the skids under us however, and it was left to John McLoughlin (22) up from 2s to get the score into the 140s. The last few wickets tumbled
quickly with Stapleton run out on the last ball for 80. Jake Wilson (1-30) snared the first wicket with the score 41 and Semple (1-36) the next at
75 but that was the last of the good news as the Panthers coasted to an easy win.
2nd Grade: lost by 4 wkts @ Howell—5-189 to 6-191: Batting first on a hot day at Penrith, our first four all made scores past 25. Jordan
Magro batting no.6 was the star with 51* off 78 balls although the final total of 189 looked well below par. At 3-77 in the run chase we had a
sniff but thereafter it was easy going as the target was reached with almost 4 overs to spare. Rod Stafford (2-24 off 10 overs) bowled best.
3rd Grade: won by 5 wkts @ Petersham—5-176 to 173: Sending Penrith in at Petersham looked risky but the bowlers responded to
knock them over for just 173 in 45 overs. They wouldn’t have made that many but “extras” top-scored with 41 including a very poor 37 wides!
Battling at 5-70 chasing the 173, Kushaal Ram (51*) and Josh James (49*) came together and took the game right away from the Panthers
putting on a RECORD unconquered 106 to take the points!
4th Grade: won by 145 runs @ Bill Ball—9-200 to 55 (+1 BONUS POINT): Skipper David Bourke (53) and Chris Singh (56) came
together at 3-73 and took the score to 170 by the time they were back in the pavilion. And while the tail quickly folded 200 looked
competitive. And so it proved to be with the Panthers collapsing on a hot afternoon to lose 8-18 and be out for 55 in 27.3 overs after being 237. Grant Rimmer (2-23), Singh (2-9), Rehaan Nawaz (3-8) and Nathan Stares (2-4) shared the spoils while the 3 catches by ‘keeper Karl
Schubert took him to 101 dismissals in 4th Grade. A much needed bonus point was secured by the hollow victory.
5th Grade: won by 113 runs @ Kensington—214 to 101(+ 1 BONUS POINT): It was the Mitchell Wickham show at Kenso with the
dashing batsman hitting 101 of the first 158. It was his first grade century and included 8 fours and 5 sixes. Only skipper Jason McLean (35) got
past 14 of the remainder being dismissed in the 45th over. The bowlers quickly had Penrith reeling at 5-44, a score from which they could not
recover to be out in less than 30 overs and secure us a bonus point. Cooper Smith (2-8), Cam Fowler (2-1) and Ash Burton (3-26) bowled best.
Round 10 v Campbelltown (Limited overs matches)
Sat.18 January 2014
1st Grade: won by 8 wkts @ Coogee—2-157 to 155 (+ BONUS POINT): Campbelltown began confidently in perfect but hot conditions
after winning the toss. Jake Wilson struck first with the total on 20 and when former RPC skipper Scott Coyte departed the score had slumped
to 3-56. Two quick wickets in the 60s were followed by three more before the total reached 117. A late rally put on 38 but when Adam Semple
(2-30) and Nick Stapleton (2-42) combined they wrapped up The Ghosts for a well-below par total. Wilson (2-17), Soumil Chhibber (2-28) and
Nathan Ellis (2-34) also shared the wickets. Usman Khawaja made a welcome return to Coogee with a break in his Big Bash schedule but was
caught in the gully off Coyte for just 2. That didn’t stop the in-form Stapleton who blasted 86* off 105 balls with 9 fours and 3 sixes in putting
on 118 for the second wicket with Rory Burns (44 off 41) as they took the points in 27.5 overs securing a valuable bonus point.
2nd Grade: won by 68 runs @ Raby 1—7-245 to 177: A partnership of 111 for the second wicket between Ales Sciascia (40) and Rish
Shah (83) paved the way for a solid score. With contributions from John McLoughlin (31) and Jordan Magro (31) it was up to The Ghosts to
chase down 245. However, at 1-39 Hayden McLean took 3 wickets for 2 runs to have them reeling at 4-41. And while a fight-back got them to
6-151 the last 4 could only manage 26 runs more to go down by 68. McLean’s 4-28 was best followed by Jack Preddey (2-44).
3rd Grade: won by 97 runs @ Petersham—7-243 to 146: Nick Charlwood (66) Suffan Hassan (44) and Barton Lynch (34) piled on the
runs to post a solid score. At one stage they were 3-189. In reply, it was a steady flow of wickets as RPC tightened the screws to have them all
out with 9 overs to spare. Barton Lynch completed a fine double with 3-18 while Will Passas (2-14) and Mitchell Jones (2-17) also did well.
4th Grade: lost by 5 wkts @ Raby 2—124 to 5-126: It was 4th Grade’s first loss to CC and it was substantial. Having first use of the pitch
in ideal conditions didn’t help the poor batting. After being 1-40 we lost 7 for 49 to be 8-89 and were lucky to get to 124. Only tail-ender Josh
James (27) batting no.9 offered any resistance. With a small total to chase it was all over in 25.5 overs with a bonus point to The Ghosts.
5th Grade: lost by 1 wkt @ Kensington—157 to 9-158: The toss didn’t help with Extras (31) top-scoring. Mitch Wickham did best with 30
following on his ton the previous week while Rehaan Nawaz made 22. In reply Cooper Smith continued his A W Green Shield form by snaring 313 while Nawaz completed a good double with 2-29. However, it wasn’t enough with the side going down by the narrowest of margins.

Round 11 v Fairfield Liverpool (Limited overs matches)
Sat.25 January 2014
1st Grade: lost by 60 runs @ Rosedale—78 to 138: Sending the Lions in to bat after overnight rain proved a correct decision with the
home side struggling at 5-75. A partnership of 39 helped the situation but when Soumil Chhibber was introduced to the attack he wound them
up with four wickets to finish with 4-33. Adam Semple was the early destroyer to take 4-19 off 8.5 overs while Jake Wilson picked up 2-25.
With Stapleton, Burns and Sciascia all back in the pavilion with just 7 runs on the board the relatively small target was going to be a struggle.
Nathan Price (30) put up a good fight supported by Anthony Sams (21*) but apart from those two, 11 was the next best. A disappointing loss.
2nd Grade: won by 4 wkts @ Petersham—6-196 to 191: Sent in to bat the Lions struggled against some keen bowling to be 7-96. A rally
by the tail put on 95 for the last three wickets before Hayden McLean claimed his third to finish with 3-47 off 10 overs, Skipper Rod Stafford
also bowled well for 3-34 off 10 as did James Tyson (2-22 off 10). A solid start of 72 by Jake Scicluna (34) and Nick Charlwood (41) was
complemented by Rish Shah (43) to get the score to 2-144 before 4 wickets fell for 22. Jarryd Biviano (25*) safely saw the target reached.
3rd Grade: lost by 5 wkts @ Fairfield---174 to 5-175: Sent in to bat runs were at a premium with Kushaal Ram’s 46 almost overtaken by
extras of 44. Tom Holland did well for 30 while Nigil Sigh swung the bat for a valuable 26. A couple of Fairfield half-centuries gave us little
chance although Ray Routray bowled well to take three of the five wickets which fell finishing with 3-45.
4th Grade: lost by 68 runs @ Coogee—106 to 174: Chris Singh brought up his 300 wickets for the club taking 3-34 but it was not good
enough to prevent a disappointing loss. Skipper David Bourke also brought up his 2,500 runs in 4s with top score of 28 but chasing a below-par
total of 174 the final score was well short.
5th Grade: won by 6 wkts @ Don Dawson—4-77 to 76 (+ BONUS POINT): An amazing scorecard with 30 extras (including 28 wides) in
Fairfield’s total of 76 (39%). After being 1-25 the Lions crashed as Brandon McLean (3-5), Sam Wood (3-11) and Mitch Selwood (2-18) put them
to the sword. Selwood (23) and Ash Burton (18) quickly put the issue beyond doubt grabbing a bonus point in the process.
Round 12 v Gordon (2 Day matches)
Sat.1-8 February 2014
1st Grade: won by 132 runs @ Petersham—272 to 140 & 2-150: At 3-57, Gordon’s surprise decision to send us in on a hot day
appeared to have merit. However, great resolve from Nathan Price (61), Adam Semple (50) and a rear-guard response by Anthony Sams (65*)
changed the game and a final total of 272 looked a competitive score. On day 2 Daniel Sams struck second ball then broke the next partnership
43 runs later. Nick Stapleton (2-21) grabbed a couple of quick ones and when Soumil Chhibber (2-27) did the same, the Stags were reeling at 7105. Daniel Sams (4-47) returned to clean up the tail with Jake Wilson (1-24) and it was all over.
2nd Grade: lost by 6 wkts @ Chatswood—244 to 4-366: Also sent in to bat on a hot day we were looking good at 3-160. However, the
loss of Rish Shah (87) and the attacking Ben Marciante (62 off 89 balls with 8 fours and 3 sixes) saw the score slump to 5-177. Only Jarryd
Biviano (46) showed any fight thereafter and the final score of 244 looked below par. On day 2 we had a real sniff with 4 down for 101 before
lunch but that was the last glimmer of hope as the Stags batsmen dominated thereafter scoring another 265 without loss to take the points.
3rd Grade: lost by 7 wkts @ Coogee--110 & 3-191 to 3-111 dec: Only skipper Nigil Singh (25) batting well down the order could offer
any resistance to a consistent attack. In response Gordon had little problem in achieving the target just 3 down. More resolve was shown in
the second dig with Tom Holland (65), Barton Lynch (50) and Suffan Hassan (48) getting some much-needed batting practice.
4th Grade: won by 4 wkts @ Killara—6-272 to 270: A good toss to win and Gordon made no mistake despite some keen bowling from
Grant Rimmer (4-54 off 14.4 overs) and Josh James (2-62 off 13). A big ask to chase a big score but it was the “Chris Singh Show” with the
opener dominating the day’s play with a classic 118. He was ably supported by Matt Hilder (85*) as the pair put on 152 for the 6th wicket.
5th Grade: lost outright by an innings and 59 runs @ Kensington—60 & 99 to 218: It was our greatest-ever loss in any grade and the
first outright loss in 5th Grade. Placed 3rd going into the game against 7th placed Gordon, it was disappointing to have to chase 218 after they
were 5-63. Returning from Injury Brandon McLean took 5-72 while the reliable Cooper Smith finished with 2-17. At 5-21 in the run-chase we
were never a hope with only skipper Jason McLean making double figures (17). Forced to follow-on it was more of the same although Brandon
McLean (30), Ash Burton (23) and Rob Huxley (26) couldn’t kick on. All others were under 10. A shocker!
Round 13 v Western Suburbs (2 Day matches)
Sat.15-22 February 2014
1st Grade: won by 6 wkts @ Coogee—123 & 6-113 to 68 & 207: Sending the Magpies in to bat in drizzly conditions proved worthwhile
with Jake Wilson grabbing 6-28 off 15 overs in an outstanding display of swing bowling while Daniel Sams (3-29 off 10) took three of the first
four wickets. Wests lost 9 for 45 to be out for just 68. That total was going to be a challenge against Australian Test fast bowler Mitchell Starc
in helpful conditions and so it proved with the first 19 runs costing three wickets including debutante Rish Shah for a duck. Anthony Sams (20)
and Adam Semple (27) batted with great resolve with Semple becoming Starc’s third wicket at 70 to grab the first innings points. Then John
McLoughlin top-scored with 30 while he and Soumil Chhibber (16*) enabled a 55 run lead to be posted. Big hitting day two saw a target of 153
set for us to win outright. Starc was at his best however, bagging the first four wickets (all lbw) to have us reeling at 4-12. When Semple and
McLoughlin departed we were 6-35. Then came the partnership of the match and maybe the season with Daniel Sams (42 off 138 balls) and
Chhibber (38 off 108) batting for 135 minutes to put on 78 and thwart West’s attempt at outright points. A great win.
2nd Grade: drawn @ Pratten—9-157 to 240: Hayden McLean (14*) and Jaya Murdita (19*) batted for 45 minutes in putting on an
undefeated 33 for the last wicket to force a draw. Earlier Wests had done well in the second half of their batting scoring 172 after being 5-68
with James Tyson bowling a mammoth 37 overs to take 6-99. McLean supported him well with 2-76 off 28. Wests batted for 104 overs giving
us only 67. Poor batting saw only one player (Rod Stafford 21) pass 20 and at 9-124 it looked curtains until the great 10th wicket fightback.
3rd Grade: lost by 5 wkts @ Petersham—6-215 dec. to 5-216: A late start day one meant we batted into the second day with Kushaal
Ram (70) and Will Passas (70*) putting on 97 for the 5th wicket to post a reasonable target. However, Wests were rarely in trouble with a
century-maker in the middle order taking the game away from us. Nigil Singh (2-20 off 11) was best of the bowlers.
4th Grade: won by 130 runs @ Blick---9-210 dec to 80 & 1-63: With day one washed out fast scoring was required day 2. Opener Ben
Stares (59) was the star while Rob Huxley’s 37 at no. 7 was handy to post a solid score in 60 overs. It was a fair start for Wests at 2-47 but a
run-out triggered a collapse which saw 8 wickets fall for just 33. Andrew Sprowls (3-18 off 8 overs) and Rehaan Nawaz (3-26 off 7) had a picnic.
5th Grade: won by 71 runs @ Kensington—184 & 7-146 to 113: Sent in to bat in damp conditions on day one, batting was tough and
soon we were 3-26. An 84 run partnership between Nathan Stares (20) and Brandon McLean (68) got the side out of trouble while the 24 for
the last wicket helped set a competitive total. Wests were doing it well at 1-80 but with Cooper Smith (4-36 off 11 overs), Connor SykesMorrison (3-19 off 11) and Armaan Nawaz (1-9 off 8) getting stuck in, the Magpies lost 9 for 33 to be out for 113
24
Round 14 v Sydney (2 Day matches)
Sat.1-8 March 2014
1st Grade: drawn @ Drummoyne—224 to 8-172 : Sent in to bat in a match reduced to 120 overs after day 1 was washed out we were
soon in trouble with four down for just 20. Nathan Price (22) and Adam Semple (24) settled things down but both had gone at 74. Daniel Sams
(78) and John McLoughlin (37) then put on a partnership of 111 enabling a competitive score to be posted. With almost 93 overs used, Sydney
as expected, came out blazing and at the end of the remaining 27 overs had scored 172 albeit for the loss of 8 wickets. All bowlers were carted
although skipper Semple finished with the amazing figures of 6-12 off 6 overs. The result confirmed the side in the top six.
2nd Grade: lost by 87 runs @ Petersham—149 to 236: Another 120 overs match after day 1 was washed out. Sydney batted first and at
1-114 a big score was on the cards. James Tyson stuck to his guns to record a 5-54 effort from 20.3 overs. Leaving us almost 60 overs we were
soon in trouble but with Jake Scicluna (46) and Tom Holland (25) digging in to get the score to 3-91 we were a chance. However, a steady loss
of wickets saw us end up losing the last 7 for just 58 to be all out in a bit over 49 overs some 87 from the target.
3rd Grade: lost by 9 wkts @ Birchgrove—129 to 1-133: With day 1 washed out replaced by a 50 overs match only Kushaal Ram (50) and
Barton Lynch (25) made any impression with the bat after we were looking good at 2-71. Keen to maintain their third spot on the ladder the
Sydney bats got into our bowlers getting the runs in just 26.5 overs for the loss of just one wicket.
4th Grade: lost by 6 wkts @ Coogee--69 to 6-227: An historic match with Grant Rimmer matching the Sydney bowler’s hat-trick. This was
the first time in 114 years hat-tricks in each innings of opposing teams had been recorded. But batting in good bowling conditions on day 1 the
first six bats could not get to double figures. No.7 Oshanka Perera made 17. At 4-42 at stumps on day 1 with Rimmer’s hat-trick anything was
possible but on day 2 it was all Sydney as they batted throughout the day.
5th Grade: lost by 31 runs @ Ryde—113 to 144: The round was replaced with a 50 overs match after no play day 1. Sending Sydney in
the rewards were slow and when the sixth wicket fell they had posted a gettable score of 144. We were in trouble at 3-15 in the run chase.
Brandon McLean stabilised the situation with a solid 32 but when he went at 4-59 it was all downhill with the last 4 wickets falling for just 6.
Round 15 v St George (2 Day match 1st Grade/limited overs lowers)
Sat / Sun 15-16 March 2014
1st Grade: won by 6 wkts @ Hurstville---4-206 to 204: A 2 wickets opening spell by Jake Wilson and a 3-3 effort by Nathan Ellis broke
the back of the batting to have them 5-63. And while the last 3 wickets fell for just 5, a middle order rally got Saints to 204 before a violent
storm washed out the rest of day 1. Day 2 brought further rain stoppages but Rish Shah (25) and Nick Stapleton put on 42 for the first wicket
then Stapleton (36 off 156 balls) and Shaun Eaton put on 92 to get the score to 2-140. Ducks to Nathan Price and Anthony Sams gave Saints
some momentum at 4-141. Adam Semple’s first scoring stroke was a six and when the winning runs were achieved he had 38 off 27 balls with
3 sixes and 3 fours. Eaton remained 91* with 13 fours of 162 balls and was the mainstay of the innings. A great win to boost the side to third.
2nd Grade: won by D/L @ Coogee—7-169 to 186: At 1-108 a big Saints score was looming. Nick Charlwood then struck supported by
Jack Preddey (1-33), Rod Stafford (3-26 off 10 overs) and Hayden McLean (2-46) and with the last 5 falling for just 21 their 186 was a surprise
below-par score. Charlwood finished with 3-43. At 4-55 the run chase was not promising but a 71 partnership between Jarryd Biviano (54) and
Jordan Magro (28) put us back in the picture and when the storm hit to curtail play we had enough on D/L to take the points.
3rd Grade: lost by 24 runs @ Harold Fraser—7-161 to 8-185cc: New skipper Bart Lynch won the toss and elected to bowl first. In a
great effort, RPC were able to restrict Saints to 8 for 185 after 50 overs with Raj Routray returning 3-42. The run chase got off to a good start
with Lynch (31) leading the way and in the middle order the evergreen Darren Smith (63) showed his experience to see the side move towards
victory at 7 for 161 after 44.3 overs. However, a violent storm curtailed play leaving RPC agonisingly 4 runs short of victory.
4th Grade: won by D/L @ Petersham—9-190cc to 8-101: When Grant Rimmer joined Oshanka Perera with the side 9-124, the prospects
of a win looked a little slim. However, showing great resolve the pair put on an unconquered 66 and set a new team record for the 10th wicket
and give Saints a solid chase of 9-190. Perera finished with 56* and Rimmer 25*. With Josh James (3-18) and Rimmer (1-13) making early
inroads Saints were struggling and at 8-101 the remaining play was washed away by a storm giving us the game by the D/L method.
5th Grade: lost by 46 runs @ Cahill—84 to 130: Electing to bat first Saints lost their first 5 wickets for just 22, all to the bowling of Nick
Saady who finished with 5-17 off 10 overs. Rehaan Nawaz (2-37) and Cam Fowler (2-19) chipped in to have them all out for a gettable 130. At
3-61 in reply a win looked good but in a major and unexpected collapse we lost 7-23 to be all out for just 84 with just two bats getting past 10.
Qualifying Finals (2 Day match)
Sat / Sun 22-23 March 2014
1st Grade v MOSMAN: won by 46 runs @ Coogee—203 & 2-131 to 157: Sent in under sunny skies the Whales seamers struck early
with our first five bats producing scores of 0,2,4,0 and 0 to have us reeling at five wickets for six runs! Youngsters Daniel Sams and Shaun
Eaton settled things down and got the score to 36 when Eaton fell for 13. This brought 19 years old Jake Scicluna to the crease in an unfamiliar
role. Number 8 was a far cry from batting no. 1 as he had done for most of his cricket life. With the score on 75 Sams departed for a well-made
41 off 87 balls and shortly after, Soumil Chhibber was run out for a duck to see the total tottering at 8-79. Nathan Ellis, another young player
also just 19 years old joined Scicluna and the pair did well to get to tea at 8-104. Immediately after the break however, Ellis edged one to the
‘keeper for 12. The scoreline read 9-110 with Scicluna 35 off 96 balls. The next 76 minutes saw history in the making and an innings which can
properly be described as “career defining” for Jake Scicluna. Jake Wilson joined him and blocked 28 of the first 29 balls he received enabling
the youngster to attack the bowling firstly getting to 50 then going on in a spectacular display of strokemaking and deft placement as he
posted his first Grade Cricket century. The pair continued on taking the score to 203 and the partnership to 93 (a new record for 1st Grade)
before Scicluna was caught on the fence for 119 off 181 balls in a tick over 3 hours. His last 68 had come up in just 57 balls. Wilson, equally the
hero, finished with 7 not out off 43 balls.
In the run chase, as he has done so often, Jake Wilson removed an opener in his first over. The “star” of the batting line-up Mark Cosgrove
from Tasmania then failed to handle the swing of Wilson and Anthony Sams picked him up behind the stumps for just 4. Nick Stapleton gave
Sams another catch when he enticed an edge off RPC capped player no. 60 Ash Doolan. Skipper Adam Semple’s turn at the crease resulted in a
fantastic catch by Soumil Chhibber off danger-man Matt Day to see Mosman finish the day at 4-59. Day 2 saw a bit of a rally until Chhibber
removed Pisel for 36 and Wilson, reintroduced into the attack, claimed two lbw’s for a scoreline of 7-124. Another wicket to Chhibber at 145
and two to Stapleton, both caught behind, saw Mosman’s season at an end to be all out for 157, 46 behind a score where the first five bats
contributed 6 runs and the next five 197! Wilson finished with 4-30 off 17 overs while Stapleton claimed 3-17 off 11.4. An amazing game which
took the team to the top of the ladder among the four teams contesting the Semi-Finals. Half centuries were scored by Rish Shah (53*) and
Nathan Price (65*) in the second dig before play was called to a halt after 38 overs.
25
5th Grade v PENRITH: won outright by 7 wkts @ Bill Ball Oval—170 & 3-92 to 121 & 137: Batting first as minor premiers on their
home turf the Panthers were soon in trouble as Nick Saady, Rehaan Nawaz and Brandon McLean cut a swathe through the top order to have
them on the ropes at 6-34. Brandon McLean then cleaned up the remaining four wickets to take the honours with 5-32. Saady finished with 319 off 14 overs while Nawaz took 2-12 off six. The run chase against the meagre target of 121 was not ideal with Neale Crawford, Jason
McLean and Mitch Selwood all back in the shed with just 13 runs on the board. But a timely 32 by Ash Burton in a partnership with Brandon
McLean who went on to make 79, put the goodies in front. A handy 30 from Saady added to the Penrith pain and they were left with a deficit
of 49 as they attempted to rescue something in the second innings. But the bowling was too tight to allow any big-hitting and after Saady and
Cooper Smith took an early wicket it was left to the two spinners Brandon McLean (5-30 off 14.4 overs) and Cam Fowler (3-38 off 12) to bring
the innings to an end for only 137. With a target of 89 for a huge victory, just 33.5 overs later RPC had its first ever outright victory in a final
series match with Brandon McLean (30*) and Ash Burton (26) steering the side home. Apart from the massive team win it was also record
breaking stuff for Brandon McLean as he became the first RP player to take 10 wickets in a match in 5th Grade. He finished with 10-62.
Semi- Finals (2 Day match)
Sat / Sun 29-30 March 2014
1st Grade v SYDNEY UNIVERSITY: lost by 102 runs @ Coogee: 77 to 179 &4-150: After a week’s rain it was a good toss to win and
Sydney Uni. were sent in to bat. And despite losing state opener Ryan Carters for eight to Jake Wilson the score mounted steadily. The second
breakthrough came at 59 when Jake Scicluna ran out “bogey-man” Scott Henry and when skipper Adam Semple bowled Larkin the match was
even at 3-69. Ten runs later however, young Nathan Ellis was introduced into the attack with devastating results. For the addition of just six
runs the students lost five wickets to be 8-82 and when Ellis struck again for his fifth wicket the score was teetering at 9-101. However, a
defiant partnership of 78 with the last two at the crease restored the initiative to some extent and when Semple bowled Cowell the score of
179 looked within reach. Ellis finished with 5-37 off 17 overs, Semple 2-35 off 14, Wilson 1-18 off 11 and Daniel Sams 1-54 off 20. In the run
chase for a place in the Grand Final it was a disastrous start with Shah, Stapleton and Eaton back in the pavilion with just 15 on the board.
Worse was to follow at 28 with Nathan Price and Anthony Sams, who had taken five catches behind the stumps in Uni’s innings, both gone. By
stumps we were a shaky 5-55 with Semple on 4 and Daniel Sams on 19. Day two brought little joy with the Uni. fast bowlers gaining plenty of
help from the pitch to take the last five wickets for just 22 to have us on the ropes and all out for 77. An attempt to knock them over a second
time in search for an outright win proved fruitless and by mid-afternoon they were cruising at 4-150 in perfect batting conditions when a halt
to the game was called and it was all over for another season.
5th Grade v MANLY-WARRINGAH: lost by 54 runs @ Mike Pawley: 116 to 170: The decision to send Manly in to bat after a lengthy
rain delay was looking good after Cooper Smith, Nick Saady and Brandon McLean struck early to have the Sea Eagles struggling at 5-62.
However, a partnership of 76 led by the competition’s second highest run-maker restored some initiative to the home team to get the score to
6-138. But with Saady back into the attack, the lower half of the batting line-up fell apart to be all out for 170 as the pace-man went through
them to finish with 5-31 off 24 overs. Cooper’s 2-30 and McLean’s 2-44 were also major contributions. With Manly having batted for 92 overs
we had 40 overs to run down the target and win a place in the Grand Final. Although Neale Crawford and Ash Burton were out early, at 2-43
the chase was on track. However, the next six wickets crumbled under the pressure for just 42 to see the score a struggling 8-85. Nick Saady
gave it his all however, with 34 off 50 balls and when he was last man out at 116 the season was over for our promising youngsters.
Barmy Army v Fanatics
The great travelling English support group the “Barmy Army”, in Australia for the Ashes Series, played a number of matches
against their Australian counterparts and rivals the “Fanatics” during the summer. The Sydney match was at Coogee Oval on
Thursday 2 January 2014 with Randwick Petersham Cricket the hosts for the day. The match was the last of the five game
"Bashes Series."
Under overcast skies Former English captain Michael Vaughan tossed and the Barmy Army won, electing to bat. English Test star
Joe Root's father and brother opened the innings and took the score to 52 from 7 overs. Wickets fell at steady intervals thereafter
and the Barmy Army finished their 20 overs at 8-101.
During the innings break a tug-of-war contest was won 2-0 by the Barmy Army with Randy Pete’s Metro Cup all-rounder Adam
Lee anchoring the Fanatics.
In reply the match was a tight contest with Fanatics 7-93 after 18 overs.
Vice-Captain Warren “Wozza” Livingstone finished the match with an
almighty six to win by two wickets with eight balls to spare. Michael
Vaughan named “Wozza” Man-of-the-Match while Fanatics took the
series 4-1. Randy Pete’s Metro Cup player Jeremy Jastrzab on university
break from Canada umpired the match.
Metro Cup stalwart and Randwick Petersham Museum curator John
Stewart presented Michael Vaughan with a club hoody. In reply Vaughan
said that he had heard of the Randy Petes and that it was a great club.
The success of the day was due in no small measure to our happy band of
volunteers Anyes McLean, Simone Ellis, Judy Stapleton, Alan Vaughan,
Chris McLeod, Stan Beal, Aden Nawaz, Adam Lee, Jeremy Jastrzab,
Rehaan Nawaz, Ravin de Silva, John Stewart and Adam Docos. The day
was also a great “international” promotion for Randwick Petersham.

1st Grade Report
by Adam Semple, Captain
Position in Competitions: Belvidere Cup–3rd (10 wins; 6 losses; 1 draw); Limited Overs–9th (2 wins; 2 losses); Twenty 20
Cup-1st (5 win; 1 loss): 17 wins; 9 losses; 1 draw in all three competitions.
Season 2013-14 was another very successful year for the 1st Grade squad. Not only did we match our semi-final finish in
the Belvidere Cup the previous year, but we managed to claim the CSG T20 Cup title in what was an amazing match
against a very skilled opponent. But more on the cricket side of things a little later.
Firstly, and most importantly I would like to recognize the phenomenal efforts of both our volunteers and supporters.
On the final day of the season I mentioned it briefly in the change rooms but I know for a fact that our performances
on the field would not be the same without the significant help and support we receive. From the best scorer in
Sydney, Chris McLeod (who was rewarded for his skill with the opportunity to score in a Ryobi Cup domestic one-day
match this year) to the ladies in the canteen led by Robin and Sue. To Cec and Pete, the intimidating two-man
welcome party greeting any visiting player looking to park at Coogee Oval. The extra work they do throughout many long
and hot days with the wicket sweeping / marking and drinks duties goes above and beyond.
In more of a cricket-related sense there were four guys who helped me a lot throughout the year. The two managers in
Billy Anderson and Alan Vaughan along with our Coach Andrew “Spike” Millican, constantly working to tailor training and
warm-ups to get the best out of players and P e t e r “ Devo” Devlin with his astute sideline observations. Your input
was invaluable and highly appreciated.
Similarly to all the wives and girlfriends who, not only have to put up with questionable dress sense (Shaun Eaton), a
self-assessed skin pigment deficiency (Jake Wilson) and ludicrous sense of humour (Nick Stapleton), but also long days
in their chairs supporting. We truly appreciate your support throughout a long year.
We welcomed some new representative faces this year in Dave Warner, who made the move over from Easts,
managing to fit in a couple of games before the Australian Test summer began. We also managed to secure the
services (and random hair styling) of Rory Burns from county cricket side Surrey. He immediately fitted in with all the
boys and was a pleasure to have as part of the club. His stay included one of the more incredible innings we’ve seen with
his 102* in the T20 victory over Manly. Can play a reverse sweep!!!
Also pleasing to see was the fact we had a handful of guys who started the year in 2nd Grade and forced their way
into the side. Seeing people rewarded for performance is something I feel strongly about and it was great that they
got the chance to experience the next level of cricket. Apart from Dave Warner, we had four others who made their
Sydney 1st Grade Cricket debut in Nathan Ellis, Rory Burns, Alex Sciascia and Rish Shah.
It was terrific to see former Randy Petes’ players Cameron Borgas and club legend Usman Khawaja return to take the
field while in Sydney on Big Bash duties. It’s good to know we have created a culture where former players want to come
back and play when the opportunity arises. Similarly, it is always a privilege to have Simon Katich turning out for RPC and
it was a fitting reward for the service he has given this club for him to be involved in the CSG Cup T20 premiership.
Our cricket this year was more consistent and assured which comes with another year of Grade Cricket under the
belt of our young squad. And it still was a very young squad with the majority still representing our PG’s under 21 side.
It took a couple of games to get going as a team but once we did the season progressed steadily. It was noticeable
that our performances were improving each week and each match, especially in the T20 format.
The obvious highlight was the victory in the CSG T20 Cup and there were some amazing individual performances in
that competition such as Rory’s 102* and Nathan Ellis’ four wickets against Uni of NSW. Similarly in the one-day
limited over competition there were some outstanding performances, the clear highlight being Nick Stapleton’s three
consecutive scores of 80, two of which were not out and likely to have been hundreds. Unfortunately we fell away in the
last round match of this competition and just missed the finals.
Although it took a little time for our Belvidere Cup performances to be as solid as we would have liked, we found ourselves
in and around the top six for the majority of the year. This was built off the back of our bowling attack. Again l e d by
Jake Wilson (51 wickets in all forms), our seam bowlers were outstanding with their consistency. Similarly our
spinners were excellent when called upon, especially with their displays of skill on at times, relatively unfriendly wickets.
30
In mentioning the wickets I must congratulate Green Options on their work, not only with Coogee and Petersham Ovals,
but all the grounds they prepare for us. We are lucky as a club to have them putting in as much time and effort as they
do each week in preparation. Our batsmen especially were very pleased with the pitches presented. .
From my point of view, the difference between this year and last, was the consistency in our batting. There were times when we
had little hiccups, however someone invariably stood up and got us out of trouble. None more so than Jake Scicluna in the
preliminary final against Mosman scoring 119 after coming to the crease at 6 for 38. I would also like to make mention of the
partnership of Daniel Sams and Soumil Chhibber in the second innings against Wests where they secured the first innings points
we’d already won by batting through what was about 40-50 overs of some of the toughest, high quality bowling you will face
from Test star Mitchell Starc and former first class quick Daniel McLaughlin. It was sensational stuff from the youngsters.
Nathan Price was our leading run scorer this year with over 620 runs in all forms and was especially crucial at the top of
the order in our T20 success. At times during the season all our batsmen stood up and showed their capabilities. It was a
year where I believe we took another step towards being that premiership team.
There were a number of other notable individual achievements:
• On the way to another 50+ wicket season and back-to-back selection in the Sydney 1 s t Grade Merit XI, Jake
Wilson became the highest 1st Grade wicket taker for the club. This has been achieved inside a remarkable four
years.
• Daniel Sams was selected to play in the Sydney 1st Grade representative match between the top players within
Sydney Grade cricket. A fantastic reward for his consistency with both bat and ball.
• Nathan Price was again selected for both the NSW Imparja Cup side and to play in the 2nd XI fixture for A.C.T.
against NSW at Manuka Oval.
• Jake Scicluna was selected in the NSW U19’s squad which contested the Australian Championships in
Tasmania.
Finally I would just like to reiterate what I told the boys in the dressing rooms after our defeat to eventual
champions Sydney University in the Semi-Final. It is always a pleasure to captain this side. I firmly believe that we
play our best cricket when we enjoy the company in which we play this game. It is a culture that I see as being critical
in upholding the foundations of the club. I am certain that RPC’s first Belvidere Cup winning team is within this group
of players, provided we continue working hard towards that goal and most of all enjoying our cricket.

1st Grade CSG Twenty 20 Grand Final
Randwick Petersham v Campbelltown-Camden @ Drummoyne Oval
Tuesday evening 4 December 2013 @ 6.30 pm under lights
Won by Randwick Petersham 8-132 to 9-131
Campbelltown-Camden won the toss and batted under clear skies with the light towers warming up in readiness to cover the
nightfall. RPC was away to a great start with former club 1st Grade highest score record holder Adam Coyle falling to Jake Wilson
for a single. Daniel Sams chipped in to remove his fellow opener Jones and the Ghosts were in trouble at 2-3. Former RP skipper
Scott Coyte then joined with Ryan Gibson to put on 36 before Nick Stapleton snuck one through Coyte’s defence to bowl him for
23 off 20 balls. Then followed the best partnership of the match as 49 was added for the 4th wicket before Wilson, brought back
into the attack had Burke caught by Stapleton for 28 off 21 balls. Captain Adam Semple then got into the act having top-scorer
Gibson caught by Daniel Sams after hitting a valuable 39 off 46 balls. It was anyone’s game at 5-102.
Fast left-armer Daniel Sams proved to be the game-changer. Brought back to bowl “at the death” he quickly knocked over no.7
Domingo to have the Ghosts reeling at 6-110. However, some late order slogging got the score to 131 before Sams bowled an
eventful last over. He had Webb and Clarke both caught then had a hand in the last-ball run-out of the no.10 to set up a target
of just 132. Sams finished with the impressive figures of 4-16 off his 4 overs.
Chasing a second win in this competition in three years, RPC was away to a flyer with English import Rory Burns and Nathan
Price taking 19 off the first two overs. However, Burns with 16 off 11 balls was the first to go when he mistimed a lofted on-drive
to mid-on. Eaton was next after a quick 11 off 10 with the score on 45. Price kept up the good work but was stumped on 21 and
when Simon Katich departed after 19 in just 14 balls, the score had slumped to 4-73 and it was game on!
It was time for a cool head and skipper Adam Semple was just the man. He and Anthony Sams rotated the strike beautifully over
the next few overs before Semple, summing up the situation to perfection, took 16 off the 15th over leaving a target of just 15
off 30 balls. However, the Ghosts were far from done and when the Coyte brothers removed the Sams brothers and Stapleton
the score had slumped to 7-127 with 12 balls to play and just five to get.
The second last over saw tight bowling and enthusiastic fielding allowing just three runs and adding another wicket. With a midwicket mix-up Soumil Chhibber was run-out off the fifth ball. New man Nathan Ellis safely kept out the sixth leaving Semple on
strike with two to win off six balls.
With the good crowd on its toes for the final over in what was fast becoming a heart-stopper, Semple played the first ball, swung
and missed at the second then grabbed a single off the third leaving the 19 years old youngster Ellis on strike. A nice drive failed
to beat the field on the fourth ball while a swing and a miss at the next left two to get off the last ball. A mid-wicket conference
followed with a lot of nodding and fidgeting as the Campbelltown fielders rushed to their positions with plenty of loud banter
and cheer. This was it. A last ball premiership for either side.
The Ghosts creep in closer knowing that Semple will run at all costs. The crowd can't watch.....Ellis takes strike. The hush over
the ground is tense. Bowler Webb starts his run up......this is it......he pitches it full and wide, Ellis tries to get bat on it...misses it
Semple is yelling YEEEEEESSSSSSSSSS, the wicket-keeper has it and is running towards the stumps, he is trying to get there, the
‘keeper desperately under-arms at the stumps but misses and “Sempy” is home.......no, but wait, there is a shy at the bowlers
end.....the appeal goes up....is he in or out............the umpire shakes his head.........the Randy Petes win and the players and
supporters go wild......!!! Adam Semple finishes 37 not out off 24 balls to take Man of the Match honours.

1st Grade Twenty20 Competition in Summary
(The Twenty20 Cup was played as a separate competition this season and formed no part of the 1st Grade competition or the Club Championship.)
Round 1 TWENTY20 v Mosman @ Allan Border
Sun 27 October 2013
Lost by 5 wkts; 5-139 to 7-137
Round 2 TWENTY20 v Manly @ Manly Oval
Sun 3 November 2013
Won by 24 runs; 7-160 to 6-136
Round 3 TWENTY20 v Uni. of NSW @ Coogee
Sun 10 November 2013
Batting first, opener Nathan Price went on the attack scoring 41 of the first 69 runs off just 32 balls with 5 fours and a six. A steady flow of wickets
didn’t help with Adam Semple (42 off 49) best of the rest although Nick Stapleton (18 off 12) and Soumil Chhibber (12 off 6) at the end assisted the
cause. Mosman skipper Matt Day proved to be the difference between the sides with 65 off 30 balls while former Randwick Petersham 1st Grade
wicketkeeper Ash Doolan chipped in with 29 off 27 to secure the points for the Whales in 18.4 overs.
English import Rory Burns thrashed 11 fours and 4 sixes in an unconquered innings of 102* batting through the 20 overs. Nathan Price opened with
Burns and when he went he had hit 3 sixes in his 20. Some cheap wickets followed including Simon Katich (7) and Adam Semple (0) before Soumil
Chhibber combined with Burns for a 50 run partnership hitting 2 sixes in his 18* as a competitive 160 was posted. Nick Stapleton (2-21) struck early to
have the Sea Eagles 2-28 with Daniel Sams (2-23), Semple (1-22) and Price (1-25) bowling tightly to put the issue beyond doubt.
Won by 4wkts: 6-108 to 9-104
Batting first after a rain delay of more than an hour, Uni. was soon in trouble with Jake Wilson grabbing wickets on the 4th and 5th balls of the
innings. With the score 2-16 young quick Nathan Ellis bowled an inspired spell to knock over the next three without conceding a run and have the
students floundering at 5-16. Nathan Price was introduced into the attack with immediate success and the score-line read 6-33. A valuable 47 run
partnership however, got them to 80 before Ellis (4-10 off 4 overs) and Daniel Sams (2-16 off 4) cleaned up the tail to leave RPC a gettable target of
just 105. In the run chase, David Warner went cheaply for 3 off 3 balls while last week’s hero Rory Burns began where he left off quickly racing to 23
off 14 with 2 fours and a six before being caught with the total on 39. Price kept up the attack although Shaun Eaton (5) and skipper Adam Semple (7)
fell cheaply along the way. And while Price (17 off 18) helped put the target well within reach it was left to the Sams brothers Daniel (34 off 31 with 3
fours and a six) and Anthony (12 off 10) to coast to victory with almost 3 overs up their sleeve and grab 8th place and a spot in the Qualifying Finals
for their team.
TWENTY20 Qualifying Final v Sutherland @ Glenn McGrath
Sun 24 November 2013
Won by 19 runs: 7-154 to 7-135
Sent in to bat by the competition leaders it was do-or-die for RPC having finished 8th in the preliminary rounds. And what a start! Rory Burns (42 off
28) and Nathan Price (37 off 31) flayed the early bowling bringing up 80 off 9 overs before Price went with Burns following 5 runs later. Tight bowling
and fielding however, restricted the run-scoring with Katich (5), Anthony Sams (4), Stapleton (6) and Eaton (6) failing to get going. With 18 overs
bowled the 6-127 total didn’t look enough. But big-hearted skipper Adam Semple came to the rescue smashing 21 off the Sharks front-line fast
bowler Fitzgerald. Six more off the last over with Semple out for 39 off 28 with 4 fours and a six gave us a solid 154.
In the run chase Sutherland was on target with 44 off 4 overs before the ever-reliable Jake Wilson had his first wicket. Ten runs later Simon Katich
threw down the stumps to have Brown (41 off 23) out. Danger-man Phil Jaques who scored a century the day before immediately took the long
handle to Wilson but an amazing left hand catch by right-handed Sean Eaton jumping in the air on the square leg boundary while shielding the sun
from his eyes brought the Sharks star undone for one! More brilliance 20 runs later by Burns who threw down the stumps from third man left
Sutherland 3-74. Some sustained pace bowling from Semple (1-22 off 4 overs); Wilson (2-22 off 4); Nathan Ellis (0-27 off 4); Nick Stapleton 1-19 off 3)
and Daniel Sams bowling particularly well “at the death” (1-27 off 4) backed up by some outstanding fielding dried up the runs giving us a comfortable
19 runs victory and a place in the semis.

TWENTY20 Semi- Final v Sydney @ Drummoyne
Sun 1 December 2013
Won by 9 wkts: 1-91 to 90
Losing the toss we were in the field under brilliant blue skies on a big ground with a rock-hard wicket. Great for batting but the RPC bowling, fielding
and field placements gave the opposing batsmen little opportunity for scoring. Jake Wilson struck early when he had danger-man Daniel Smith well
caught low-down at mid-on by Simon Katich with just one run on the board. First ball of Daniel Sam’s over and the other opener Hutton chased one,
succeeding only in edging to brother Anthony waiting with those big bucket wicket-keeping gloves! Two for two! When Daniel cleaned up number 4
Jacob the score was looking poorly at 3-14. There was a bit of aggression from Sydney’s Tim Sparke who slammed four fours and a six before he was
brilliantly run out by a direct hit from the inimitable Katich. He was the only Sydney CC batsman to do so in the whole innings. Not one other Sydney
player got near the boundary such was the tight bowling and fielding. Adam Semple’s field placings were so precise that even some of the better hits
got just a single. With Sparke gone at 40 it was a procession of humbled batsman as wickets tumbled at 58, 61, 85, 85, 89 and 90 in just 19.1 overs.
The bowlers celebrated with Daniel Sams leading the way (4-17 off 3-1 overs) followed by Nathan Ellis (2-16 off 4);Jake Wilson (1-17 off 4); Adam
Semple (1-19 off 4); Nick Stapleton (0-8 off 3) and Nathan Price (0-13 off 1).
In the run chase, Rory Burns and Nathan Price picked the gaps early to race to 17 when Burns came unstuck and was out for 11 with two fours. Shaun
Eaton joined Price and the pair treated the great roll-up of Randwick Petersham followers to some dashing stroke-play as they ran down the target in
a neat 12 overs. Price remained 39 not out with six fours while Eaton was unconquered on 32 with three boundaries and a six.

2nd Grade Report
Position in Competition: 5th
8 wins; 7 losses; 1 draw
by Rod Stafford, Captain
It was another promising year for 2nd Grade that unfortunately finished without any finals cricket being played. Once again the
side had a great blend of youth and experience which made the season a thoroughly enjoyable one to take part in.
Our batting was strengthened in the off season with the addition of Rish Shah from the UK, Dave Bolton from WA who had
played only a few games the previous season, seasoned veterans Alex Sciascia, John McLoughlin and Will Passas, along with some
excellent young players in Jarryd Biviano and Jake Scicluna. We were also hopeful of gun all-rounder Ben Marciante coming back
during the season from illness.
Our bowling was looking solid with old timers James Tyson and Rod Stafford to be backed up by youngsters Nathan Ellis and
Hayden McLean on 2nd Grade debut. All-rounders Jordan Magro and Bolton would provide back-up support. Ellis went to 1s in
round 2, took wickets and hasn’t been seen in 2nd Grade since.
We started well to be two wins from our first three and then four wins from our first six. It seemed we were always on the fringe
of the Top Six and while we played outstanding cricket at times, we just weren’t consistent enough to push into the top three. A
tight round seven loss by 14 runs to eventual premiers Sydney Uni and then a win against top placed Bankstown saw us in sixth
place at Christmas. The highlights during that period were definitely the big tons that were scored by “Sharsh” and Rish.
We had a tough draw to finish the season out where we had to play four of the top six sides and disappointingly we lost a must
win clash to Penrith just after the break. We then beat the Campbelltown “Ghosts” and Fairfield to put ourselves back in sixth,
but a loss to first placed Gordon and a nine-down gutsy draw against Wests saw our finals hopes dashed. We then lost to Sydney
before finishing the season on a high with a Duckworth Lewis win against third placed Saints. We were hurt badly by injury from
Christmas on with the always-consistent workhorse Magro unable to bowl, and we also lost Dave Bolton to Wagga Wagga. 1st
Grade had a few injuries too which meant we also lost our best performers up a grade at that time. This gave opportunity to
some youngsters and I’m sure that the experience gained will hold the club in good stead in coming years.
Alex Sciascia had his best year ever including 136* vs Norths in Rd 3 and 126 vs Bankstown in Rd 8 which culminated in a welldeserved selection in 1st Grade as cap #93. “Alan” finished just short of 500 runs at over 40 and was the key to much of our
success this season.
Rish Shah also made his debut century for the Randy Petes with a glorious 128 vs Easts in Rd 2 and looked a class act all season.
He finished with 512 at 43 and finished the season in 1st Grade playing semi-final cricket. Rish’s attitude during the season was
first class and all the boys enjoyed his company and wish him every success in pushing for a county spot. We will have you back
Rish, at any time should the opportunity come up.
Two of our most consistent performers during the year were middle-order batsmen Johnny Mac and Jarryd Biviano. It seemed
like the first half of the season Johnny (350 runs at 39) held the innings together and scored between 40 and 60 almost every
innings. He too played 1st Grade later in the season and showed he is still all class and up to that level before injury finished his
season in Round 15. “Biv” had a breakthrough year with the bat with his aggressive play. Watching “Biv” destroy spin regularly
were some of the highlights of the year and he played key innings in getting us home against St George and Hawkesbury.
Will Passas, Jake Scicluna, Jordan Magro, and later in the season “Player of the Season” Nick Charlwood and Tom Holland all
played good innings during the year, with one of the club highlights being Jake’s big hundred in the 1st Grade Qualifying Final
showing how good a player he will be when coming in at no. 5 or 6.
With the ball our workhorses were “Clubman of the Year” James Tyson and Hayden McLean who between them bowled over 430
overs. Tyso had a great year with the ball (32 wickets at 23) and also with the bat (82 at 16) if he hasn’t told you already, forcing
his way up to number 9! Highlights included 5-53 vs Norths where he bounced out the entire top order; 6-99 vs Wests off 37
overs and 5-54 vs Sydney.
Hayden was awesome in his first year of 2s showing constant improvement throughout the season and proving he wouldn’t let
anyone down if given an opportunity in 1st Grade. He finished with 26 wickets at 26 and never gave his wicket away cheaply (57
runs at 19). “Dos” was one of our best fielders during the season, and I’m looking forward to seeing his bowling improve even
further as his body gets stronger and he’s allowed to bowl more than eight overs at once!
Ben Marciante has had a horrid run of luck and I was a happy skipper when he became available before Christmas. “Rocky”
finished with 134 runs at 20 and 13 wickets at 21 and hopefully will get a full pre-season and a decent crack at 1s next season.
38
Some injuries later in the season saw some great opportunities come and we all got to see Jack Preddey spin his web over
opposition batsman. He has all the tricks in the book and a great attitude which will no doubt see Jack get a chance in 1s in the
next couple of years. A quality cut shot and smart batsman as well as being a much-needed slips fieldsman could see Jack
become a genuine all-rounder in future top grades. Jaya Murdita also impressed in a couple of games late in the season bowling
well but also batting for over an hour with McLean to force a 9 down draw vs Wests.
I must again thank all our volunteers. The irrepressible Stan Beal was always hilarious both behind and not behind the scorebook.
Robin Gardner and Sue Hill, we can’t thank you enough for your tireless work in the canteen. Cec Orrock and Pete English with
the drinks and pitch sweeping and in general “being good blokes”, thank you! Thanks to Richard “Horses for Courses” McCord
the Petersham Oval specialist, one voicemail will suffice, I will call you back! To all the parents and girlfriends thank you for your
ongoing support. To the coaching staff, committee, captains, Green Options and everyone else involved with RPC, well done on
another successful year!

Congratulations to Rod Stafford and the whole of the team for winning the 2nd Grade Spirit of Cricket Award this season! Their
average of 8.33 points was a handy margin ahead of Campbelltown-Camden and Western Suburbs equal second on 8.27.
In every match played in the Sydney Cricket Association competition, umpires assessed each team’s performance in terms of the
Spirit of Cricket and this Award is presented to acknowledge the club that has been deemed to have best upheld those values.
The Spirit of Cricket includes respect for opponents, umpires and the game’s traditional values, and emphasises the role of team
captains in upholding the game’s values.
The club itself finished 6th on an average of 7.908 points behind Sydney University (8.10). Third Grade did well to finish 6th as
well averaging 7.60 behind Uni. of NSW on 8.33. Fourth Grade was 14th on 7.67 in a very tight competition with Sydney
University’s 8.07 on top. Fifth Grade was won by Manly (8.33) with us 8th after averaging 7.88.

3rd Grade Report
Position in Competition: 12th
6 wins; 9 losses
by Nick Charlwood, Captain
We entered the 2013-14 season full of hope to turn around the misfortunes of the last few years. With a large number of the
team having experience at this level we expected a lot of ourselves. And with good reason. We were away to a flyer easily
accounting for the eventual grand finalists Northern District in the first game. Unfortunately our bowling star of that match James
Tyson was not seen again as he went on to spearhead the 2nd Grade attack for the rest of the season.
With an outright win next game against Easts and another win in round 3 against North Sydney we were entitled to feel we were
on the cusp of a good season. However, while there were many positive contributions across the team, a slump through the back
half of the season saw the side comfortably miss out on a place in the finals.
While we did not finish where we would have liked on the ladder, there were a number of performances of note throughout the
year and the development of a number of our younger players was a great sign for the future.
The batting line-up, despite a number of individual highlights, often failed to click as a unit. This left our bowlers with too much to
do, and often not quite enough runs to work with. Bart Lynch and Andy Coles showed promise throughout the year with both not
quite able to go on to the big scores that they are capable of. Much will be expected of them next year.
Tom Holland dominated attacks whenever he played. He finished the season in 2nd Grade and would be looking to start there
next year after his 363 runs at 51.86 in 3s this year. His innings of 100 against Northern District, 80 against Hawkesbury and 65
versus Gordon were classy displays.
Jack Preddey impressed all with his leg spin and middle order batting. Also a great kid who wasted no time becoming a popular
player in the side. The 16 year-olds debut season stats of 18 wickets at 27.22 from eight matches paved the way for a number of
strong performances in 2s to round out a great debut season. His 6-41 against Easts set up a fantastic outright win.
Jaya Murdita started the season in 5th Grade and ended up with games in Seconds. His talent really shone through this season,
being one of the leading bowlers in our side at a young age collecting 13 wickets at 18.62. Hopefully Jaya can dominate 3s next
year and be pushing for 2s.
Kushaal Ram was a revelation at the back end of season, controlling the middle order for the side. His enthusiasm and athleticism
are also great assets for any team to have. In only seven matches Kush finished with 242 runs at 40.33. He scored four halfcenturies to underline his consistency with 70 against Wests his best.
Nigil Singh also had another strong season and led the bowling attack well all year to head the wicket-takers list with 23 wickets
at 15.26 while providing invaluable leadership for a young side. His 6-18 against Easts showed he has lost none of his guile.
This was my first season as captain of a Randwick Petersham team and I enjoyed it immensely. I also had one of my best seasons
with the club. It was a thrill to open the batting and to score two centuries. I’m sure my recent overseas experience helped in that
regard. My thanks to the players in the team for their encouragement.
Big thanks to the parents who helped out throughout the year. Third Grade can be a tough side to manage without a regular
person in charge or a scorer, so to Dave Holland, Mark Coles, Mark Preddey, John Clune and anyone else I’ve missed who helped
out with the scoring, thank you. To Amy and my mum for helping out with the teas we can’t thank you enough. To Richard
McCord for being our home scorer for the season, we love your efforts Dicky. Many thanks also to Nigil Singh and Barton Lynch
who captained the side for the latter part of the season following my move to 2nd Grade. Finally to all the boys who played 3s
during the year, we may not have hit the levels we set for ourselves but we still had a great season.

4th Grade Report
Position in Competition: 7th
8 wins; 7 losses; 0 draws
by David Bourke, Captain
Fourth Grade looked to improve on the previous three seasons that had seen the side just miss the finals, but alas the curse
struck once again! To finish in seventh position, just three points from sixth and a place in the finals series was bitterly
disappointing. However, the side’s inability to string a series of wins together highlighted the main problem throughout the
season: inconsistency. The side was only able to record consecutive wins on one occasion and our ability to lose to weaker, lower
ranked teams also made for a frustrating season.
Upon reflection, while the goal of playing finals cricket was not achieved, it was an extremely enjoyable season with a mix of
young and experienced players who enjoyed each other's success and gave their all every time they strode out onto the field for
the Randy-Petes.
Season Highlights: Chasing down 270 against Gordon at Killara Oval in Round 12 to keep our season alive. Coming off the back of
two consecutive losses, a win was required to stay in the hunt for finals cricket, and when Gordon posted 270 and we were
struggling at 5-118 we needed something special. And we got just that, with veterans Chris Singh and Matty Hilder putting on
152 for the sixth wicket to see us home with overs to spare.
Another highlight of a personal nature was seeing Grant Rimmer pick up a hat-trick at Coogee Oval against Sydney in Round 14.
With only 69 on the board, Rims gave us an outside chance picking up a hat-trick, and in the process creating a piece of history as
the Sydney opening bowler had also pulled off the same feat earlier in the day. This was the first time in 114 years of Grade
cricket that hat-tricks had been recorded in each innings of opposing teams. It also saw “Rims” in the Daily Telegraph and
mentioned on Alan Jones’ radio show, much to the delight of the female population of Sydney.
Season Lowlights: Our batting at Coogee Oval! On one of the best batting wickets in Sydney Grade Cricket, our inability to post
anything much over 100 sees the side winless at the venue in the last two seasons.
Another lowlight was having rain impact our two-day games against bottom of the table sides. Against the bottom two sides,
Western Suburbs and Blacktown, we were washed out on day one and in a one-day 120 over match were almost able to win
outright on both occasions. Big chance we would have got maximum points if we got two full days play in!
The Volunteers: A massive thank you to our manager John 'The Ger' Connell and scorer Richard 'Hubert' McCord. The Ger and
Hubert have been fixtures at 4th Grade games for a number of seasons now; the sensational lunches and teas, scoring and postmatch analysis of the highest order.
Also a big thanks to John and Lynne Stares for stepping in for arvo teas when required, plus Mike Sprowls and John Clune for their
help with scoring and general duties throughout the season.
Player Summary (minimum 7 games):
Grant Rimmer – after a slow start to the season with a few injuries, “Rims” hit his straps post-Christmas to lead the bowling
attack. His achievement of a hat-trick against Sydney in Round 14 was a pleasure to be involved in, but his batting against St
George was a highlight! Coming in with the side 9-124, Rims toyed with ex-RPC spinner Mel Singh to post 25 not out, and in the
th
process record a new 10 wicket partnership record of 66 with Oshanka Perera. Rims is now part of the record 10th wicket
partnerships in 3rd, 4th and 5th Grade. Not bad for a bloke using a kashmir willow stick…..
Chris Singh – “Singhy” again was able to produce with bat and ball, showing his undoubted class at this level even though his
body doesn’t agree. During the season “Singhy” passed some great personal milestones; the sensational achievement of 300
wickets for RPC in all Grades, 2,000 runs in all Grades for RPC, and 100 wickets in 4th Grade for RPC. His match-winning 118
against Gordon was a joy to watch, even though he was slightly concussed after getting lidded twice by a slow medium pace
bowler…..
Matthew Hilder – Having Matty’s experience with the bat and leadership skills was a crucial part of the sides’ success, highlighted
with his 85 not out in the partnership with “Singhy” to win the game against Gordon. Matty also passed the milestone of 200
games for RPC in Round 10 against Campbelltown, being the first RPC player to achieve this feat. His slip and ground fielding is
still of the highest quality, as are his hands in the sheds when a Tooheys New is on offer…..
Karl Schubert – “The Schu” started like a house on fire with a match-winning 109 in the opening round against Northern District.
While the runs did not flow as he would have liked after that, his wicket-keeping was of the highest standard, with 31 dismissals
and only 16 byes, and in the process taking his 100th 4th Grade dismissal, becoming the only player to complete that feat in any
grade apart from 1st Grade. It was also good to see Schu making life-long friends with the opposition players….
Oshanka Perera – “The Shank” had a slow start to the season, but showed his fighting qualities post Xmas, finishing with a gutsy
56 not out against St George in Round 14, putting on a record 66 last wicket stand with Rims to give the side a matching winning
total. Shank also burgled a few poles with his cheeky medium pacers, and once again showed his beer ninja ability in the sheds
post game…..
44
Ben Stares – “Staresy” found the going tough with the willow this season, but to his credit he gave 100% every week, doing
anything he could to help the side achieve victory, a sign of a true team and club man. His choice of post-game beers was also
much appreciated by the skipper…..
Kushaal Ram – “The Ram” had his best season to date, his batting showed maturity and class, his bowling was consistent and
explosive, and his fielding was dynamic. This saw “The Ram” move up the grades early in the season where more success came,
culminating with him winning the inaugural RPC Flight Centre MVP Award. Kushaal showed that with hard work at training,
success will come on the field. Ram also provided some of the best excuses for being late in recent seasons…..
Andrew Sprowls – “Sprowlsy” took his bowling to another level this season after being promoted from 5th Grade. His ability to
bowl long spells and a consistent line and length made him a threat to any batting line up on any surface-- a captain’s dream.
Also likes to share his thoughts with the skipper about running into the wind…..
Josh James – JJ showed what he is capable of this season: pace, bounce and genuine wicket taking ability. The next step in JJ’s
development will be consistency and with that he has all the attributes to move up the grades at pace. The boys are still keen to
find out if JJ ever moved his car from that parking spot in Coogee…..
Mitch Wickham – Mitch looked a million bucks every time he strode to the wicket but a bit of bad luck here and there stopped
him from posting a really big score. Mitch is a natural, free-flowing batsman with a future in the higher grades. Also one of the
best out-fielders in the club, just needs the skipper to stop asking him to pack the ‘keeping gear…..
Nathan Stares – “The Better Stares” showed he is a classy off-spinner. His ability to tie up an end while jagging the odd pole was
an asset to the side. Also fought hard with the bat, batting anywhere from the middle to lower order. “Starsey” now just needs
to learn how to punt his brother from the slip cordon…..
Tom Evans – Limited opportunities and injury hindered Tommy’s season, however to his credit he put in every week and did
everything possible to help the side to victory. Looking forward to seeing this talented youngster next season, and his love of the
Bieber haircut also was appreciated by the young females at Coogee…..

5th Grade Report
Position in Competition: 4th
9 wins; 6 losses; 2 draws
by Jason McLean, Captain
A new season always comes with renewed enthusiasm, excitement and passion to succeed. After 2012-13, when we only won
four games, I decided that I needed to provide clearer direction and goals for the team as we embarked upon the season. And
so it was on the last Saturday of September we sat on a hot outfield on Storey Park that I laid it out…..the simple goal was that
we needed to be in the Top Four. We needed to win more contests during games….we needed to build bigger partnerships…and
we needed to keep the pressure on teams when we got on top. Now I’m sure that the 10 players listening to me at the time
understood what I was saying but in their hearts their “belief” would have been low, based on what happened the previous
summer. That was my personal goal--to build belief in themselves as individuals, in us as a team and more importantly create an
understanding that we could definitely achieve the goals that were set.
As we all know a season is a long, twisting and turning beast full of highs and some lows but through it all I could clearly see that
this group of predominately young men started to believe…and with the belief came some truly memorable performances and
great victories. The results of the season are now history and while they were a significant improvement, there was a true
feeling that given the right circumstances we could have gone all the way. And while it wasn’t to be, we did hit our goal of being
in the Top Four (maybe I should have set the goal as being Number One but then again it’s always best to leave something to
strive for next season.) To achieve the results we did took so many great moments and contributions. Here are just a smattering:
-
There were nine players who started their season in 5th Grade who played higher grades with Jaya Murdita being the
standout getting to 2nd Grade
The return of the prodigal son Rob Huxley….”The Hux”….who led the run scorers and provided outstanding
encouragement and support to the younger players as well as plenty of ideas and tactics to the captain
The emergence of Rehaan Nawaz as a truly solid all-rounder who flourished batting with “Hux” and who relished the
opportunity to bowl “at the death” in all of our tight matches
The potency of Andrew Sprowls who not only bowled long, tight spells but showed he could really rip through a side
taking a remarkable 8-32 against North Sydney, a new “best bowling” record for 5th Grade
The consistency and positive impact of Cam “Chook” Fowler whose enthusiasm in the field went to a new level and
whose 26 wickets came at crucial times when we really needed something to happen
The brilliant 100 by Mitch Wickham opening the batting against Penrith and really never looking like getting out in a
dominant Innings
The explosion onto the Grade Cricket stage by Cooper Smith. A truly fantastic season of high quality bowling, patient
batting and more importantly a huge impact on the positive culture of the team
The surprise packet of the season…..Dave Lillyman who only joined the side after Christmas as a substitute, but who
had an immediate impact as wicket-keeper finishing with an outstanding 24 dismissals in only seven games. He also
brought so much positive energy to the team
Ash Burton and Neale “Cindy” Crawford who fronted up week after week at the top of the order and while this season’s
stats don’t paint the true picture they will in years to come
The outstanding performance to beat the ultimate premiers Penrith outright in the Qualifying Final after also defeating
them in the preliminary rounds
There are two other “special” things that happened to me in the season through unfortunate injuries. The first was I got to play
again with Nick Saady. I have always been a huge fan of Nick’s from the moment Dave “Skewey” Skuthorpe and I appointed him
Green Shield captain a few years ago. He has a real spark and desire to contribute and do well for the team and to see him show
real class in our win over Penrith and in a fantastic bowling effort vs Manly was a privilege I thought I would never have again.
And the other relates to the “top grade lurker” Brandon “Brent” McLean who was ruled out of the high level teams for 12 weeks
after breaking his thumb before Christmas. To be able to play with Brandon for seven games was something I will never forget
and something I didn’t want to end. As an unbiased captain I was so excited at the way he fitted into the team…his amazing
contribution with both the bat and ball….and his “bant” which really livened things up and brought a real buzz as we headed into
the backend of the season. As a proud father I just loved every minute, even when he kept challenging my decisions.
So what a great season filled with many highlights and solid results. But for an old captain the real joy came from seeing a bunch
of exceptional men given their chance to play this great game in a great club, building memories and camaraderie that will last
forever while supporting each other through every situation and listening to my somewhat lame stories and anecdotes along the
way. As I said in my pre-match speech in what turned out to be our last game, I am so proud to be a part of this team and the
only sadness about the season ending is that this group will never again have the chance to play together as a unit. And so ends
the 2013-14 season or as the optimist would say, so starts the pre-season for 2014-15. Thanks to everyone who played 5’s this
year. You did yourself and the club proud. And lastly thanks to all the parents and supporters who helped during the year and
the unwavering support of Alan Wright who is always looking at ways to grow and develop our cricketer’s of the future.

This season Randwick Petersham Cricket’s media presence expanded to national and international exposure.
In October the ICC sent a TV crew to Coogee Oval, the museum and a training session at Snape Park to record a segment for their program ICC
360. The segment aired on 31st January 2014 in Episode 85.
Again many thanks to John McLoughlin and David Bourke for putting in the yards to keep the website updated with Randy Petes’ news, scores
and events and for maintaining the club’s Facebook and Twitter pages.
Whit's Wisdom continued this season providing his insights into the Ashes and all cricket news. Keep your eye on The President's views on
current developments in Australian and International cricket.
Following the announcement of David Warner joining the Randy Petes in June 2013, the Daily Telegraph, Southern Courier and Inner West
Courier ran articles announcing this big signing. Additionally, Channel 7 ran an interview with Monty Panesar prior to the Ashes where he
expressed his desire to reunite with the Randy Petes post Ashes.
The events surrounding Round 1 and Warner’s no-show resulted in coverage in the Sydney Morning Herald, Daily Telegraph and The
Australian. This exposure was beneficial to sponsors too.
John Massoud from The Daily Telegraph reported on the historic 4th Grade match at Coogee on 1st March 2014 involving a hat-trick by both
teams in the match. Thanks to David Bourke for arranging this opportunity.
Again many thanks to Torin Chen and also Lisa Herbertson (Sports, Southern Courier), Matt Pearson (Sports, Inner West Courier) and Dan
Hutton (The Beast) for providing comprehensive match and event coverage throughout the 2013-14 season as well as the provision of a
photographer at matches and club events. Many thanks to Alan Vaughan for supplying photographs for many of these publications.

Metropolitan Cup
by Denis Hinds, Manager
The Cup competition continues to improve with more teams, better venues and higher quality players. It is now comprised only
of teams from the grade clubs while Blacktown, Wests and Randwick Petersham put in two teams each. The administration was
again handled efficiently and with no fuss by Glenn Workman.
Our own club's performances continued their improvement with:
• An almost complete symbiosis between the Metro Cup and Green Shield squads which is beneficial for both parties as
the Metro teams get the introduction of some younger quality players and the Green Shielders get the chance to play in
open competition.
• An overall improvement in the numbers attending and the intensity of
training.
• Further improved playing conditions with the new picket fences at
Snape Oval and Marrickville Oval coming online as our fortress where
visiting teams fear to tread. Our Green team employed this to have a
mid-season run where they beat four of the top five teams in
consecutive games. We now have established a liaison with the winter
clubs Newtown Jets and Petersham Rugby which should bring more
improvements to Marrickville Oval.
• An improvement in our playing numbers and consistency of availability.
At one point the mysterious White team appeared as our third team
and gave a good account of themselves.
•
Key input from the wizard planner David Bourke who not only
orchestrated all the grounds but still managed to organise the annual
Green v Gold match at Coogee Oval just before Christmas and made
Champion scorers: Former Wallaby captain
available to us the master scorer Richard McCord.

METRO GREEN TEAM
by Bala Mohan, Captain
Firstly, RPCC Green would like to thank our Team Manager Denis Hinds, coaches, administrators, groundsmen and scorers for
organising a great Metropolitan Cup event for 2013-14 season.
Our season was full of thrills and spills. With a team of talented cricketers, we were never short of excitement and surprises
throughout the season. We started our summer with a string of losses, but gained good momentum in the middle of the season
which unfortunately, we could not sustain through to the end. We thoroughly enjoyed playing in different pitch and weather
conditions. Our biggest strength was supporting each other and playing as a strong unit in all three departments.
We exhibited excellent cricketing abilities when we played against Blacktown 1, Sydney University and Wests, the top three
teams this year. The highlights from our key games were:
•
•
•
Outplaying Blacktown 1 in all departments (9-239 v 166 all out). This win was sensational and rates as our best win as
we played attacking cricket throughout the match.
Our fight-back against North Sydney little super star Yash Cheema and swashbuckling Max Brandy put on a 94 run
partnership for the 9th wicket, showcasing their full range of strokes to win this important game exhibiting the team’s
belief.
Bowling spearhead Adam Lee, supported byRashid Kahn and Salman Shahid, capitalised on the pitch and weather
conditions, with menacing line and length bowling and brought Sydney University (the eventual Premiers) down to 90
all out in 27 overs. We were able to reach the target easily and win the game comfortably.
We were disappointed at not making the finals but we are confident that we will come back stronger and play better in the
forthcoming season. Congratulations to all who were part of the RPCC Green team.

Position in Competition: 13th
METRO GOLD TEAM
by Steve Stammers, Captain
It shouldn’t be the case, but in retrospect, the season of the Gold team was defined in the opening three rounds of the season.
Each year, every team has stories of ifs, buts and maybes and our season was no different. Three defeats in the opening three
games – all by the just the one wicket to Wests, Penrith and Fairfield Liverpool. At that stage, curiously we had a positive
quotient.
Luck played no part, however, and mid-season we hit a dreadful run of form spinning to defeats to eventual minor premiers
Gordon, Blacktown 1 and North Sydney as we headed winless into the Christmas break. Barring the odd half century, the one
outstanding performer for those first three months of the season was young opening seamer Cooper Smith (15 wickets @
10.33). We have a future star on our hands and it was no surprise to see him tearing through opposition in Green Shield later on
in the season.
The New Year 2014 brought little respite for Gold as we fell to defeats to Mosman (twice including the match at Kenso where we
faced former World Cup winning Wallaby skipper John Eales), Uni. of NSW, Blacktown 2 and Balmain before finally breaking our
duck in the penultimate round of the season against Western Suburbs 2 at Kensington Oval in March – smashing them by 69
runs – led by the veterans Alan Wright, Denis Hinds and Mark Preddey. A last round defeat to premiers Sydney University meant
the season ended with just a solitary win.
Dropped catches, poor fielding at crucial times, injuries, the odd questionable umpiring decision coupled with call-ups to higher
grades told the story of the Metro Gold season. Despite several 50s in the ranks, we only managed an individual high score of 72
(Jack Hopkins and Steve Stammers) – not enough match-winning knocks. Team spirit remained high, even through the really bad
times! And each player who played showed plenty of potential – as a team we just couldn’t get it together consistently to get
over the line in some of the tight games.
Young Jack Hopkins showed plenty of grit with bat (2 x 50s) and ball (13 wickets @ 11.08) particularly when the chips were
down. Consistent displays from Armaan Nawaz earned him a call-up to 5s late in the season – due reward for his batting (2 x
50s), tight bowling (72.5 overs @ 1.44 runs per over) and superb fielding. Lasith Fernando was another newcomer to the team
this season who performed well with both bat and ball while Kyri Tsalikidis (18 wickets @ 19.67) proved a real threat with his leg
spin and, with a bit of work in the nets, could be a really talented leg spinner in the future years.

A W Green Shield
(Under 16 years)
Position in Competition: 6th
5 wins; 3 losses
by Eddie Otto, Team Coach
The AW Green Shield team had its most successful season in four years finishing in 6th place. We looked like being in for a long
season after losing to Gordon in Round 3, before peeling off four straight wins to storm into the finals. Winning five from seven
regular season games secured us that quarter-final berth we had been striving for. Sadly, our quarter-final performance wasn't
our best, thus ending our season. Despite the loss, the season was one of fantastic progress including thrilling victories, great
team performances and a couple of terrific individual campaigns.
Having worked with the AW Green Shield for the past three seasons I can say without doubt this was the most enjoyable. The
coaching staff put together a very busy pre-season schedule with a September camp and dinner, fortnightly training sessions
and three trial games to ensure the boys were given every opportunity to perform. They really responded to this workload,
forming a great bond and putting their hearts and souls into every game. It is never an easy series with 11 games in just over a
month including trials. The constant long days in the heat coupled with the individual highs and lows will add greatly to the boys’
experience. Playing on 1st Grade grounds against the best under 16 players in Sydney every couple of days is a huge test.
Five of our regular season games were decided by less than 50 runs or two wickets. We managed to grind out fantastic close
wins against Hawkesbury, Mosman and Manly. The Manly game being the highlight defending just 139. Manly were cruising at 2
for 70 before our fight-back which kick-started our winning streak. We became adept at defending runs in the afternoon, not
through blasting teams out, but through playing to our strengths of tight, disciplined bowling supported by high energy in the
field. Our bowling and fielding was without doubt our strength during this campaign. While our batting was satisfactory, nearly
always putting up fighting totals between 170 and 200, our bowling and fielding won us the majority of games.
All 17 players in the squad contributed to our 6th place finish. Sadly our star batsmen Will Lawrance only managed one trial
game after a bad hamstring injury ruled him out for the remainder of the season. WIll, along with some of the other boys who
didn't play regularly, provided great support by continuing to turn up and be part of the squad on match days. This showed their
genuine character for, despite their personal disappointment, they contributed greatly to the overall team spirit.
Back Row: Eddie Otto (Coach), Adam Docos, Aden Nawaz (Manager), Cooper Smith, Yashraj Cheema, Kyriakos Tsalikidis, Jason McDonald, Joshua Towell,
Thomas Chichester, Aolei Yu, Raycole Dai, Darren Smith (Asst. Coach), Rehaan Nawaz (Asst. Coach)
Front Row: Elliot Brookes, Vishnu Avudainayagam, Sarvesh Sharavanan, Julian Dimas (Co-captain), Will Lawrance (Vice Captain, Ravin De Silva (Co-captain),
Jackson Eldridge, James Mahony-Brack
Two players in particular excelled during the series. Cooper Smith and Aolei Yu. Cooper finished the second leading wicket taker
in the entire competition with 18 wickets. It was a phenomenal effort and he was rewarded with a spot in one of the AW Green
Shield Combined teams to play against NSW Country under 16’s at the end of the season. Cooper took at least two wickets in
every regular season game. He swung the new ball with control and menace, and showed plenty of determination and heart to
keep backing up and bowling double digit overs every couple of days.
54
Aolei Yu seized his opportunity to open the batting, being our most consistent batsman throughout the summer. He managed
226 runs, valued his wicket highly in every round and spent time at the crease in nearly every game. Aolei was rewarded in the
final regular season game with a half-century. Ravin De Silva and Jason McDonald also contributed half-century's during the
season and were a big part of the reason we put up competitive totals in most games.
I want to congratulate our co-captains Julian Dimas and Ravin De Silva for their leadership in tough situations. Julian captained
the first three games with Ravin leading the remainder and the way these boys worked together and fostered the energetic
fielding displays made the coaches very proud. A big thank to Darren Smith, whose infectious passion, wisdom, time and effort
was a huge asset to the boys learning about their games and game situations. Similarly Rehaan Nawaz as an assistant coach was
a great help and a very valuable link between the players and the coaches. Aden Nawaz again did a great job as team manager in
organising and facilitating a great environment to play and coach in. To all the parents who helped with the great afternoon
teas, scoring and just general support at the games, a huge thank you. Good luck to the 13 players who have now finished their
junior careers. I'm sure we will see them in the Randwick Petersham colours for years to come. It's been a pleasure to be
involved and I hope to be part of the challenge of replicating our success next season.

Winning the toss and batting RPC openers Adam Docos (35) and Aolei Yu (21) started with a 50 run stand. After losing four wickets in quick
succession veteran Green Shield bat Rav De Silva (87) showed his class with a slashing innings. Frustratingly the side was bowled out in the
56th over, about 20 short of a par score. Bowling spearhead Cooper Smith (2-20 from 12 overs) set the tone swinging the ball and creating
problems for the Hawks, dropping them to 3-30. De Silva (2-27 from 12) sealed his man-of-the-match performance with an unbroken spell of
spin bowling. The Hawks looked on top at 4-105 but our medium pacers clawed us back into the game and over the line after Cooper Smith
had taken an outstanding outfield catch to dismiss their opener who made 113 out of the team total of 172. Yashraj Cheema (2-43) did well.
Parra were keen to bat after winning the toss on a hot day with good reason as their top four bats scored 182 between them. It was hard going
for our bowlers with no less than nine tried. Cooper Smith (2-29 off 9 overs) did best and was supported by Jason McDonald who picked up 239 off 8. The run chase was always going to be a tough affair and so it proved to be with six of our boys failing to make double figures while the
top-scorer was Thomas Chichester who rattled up 32 batting at number 10. Skipper Julian Dimas chipped in with 18 while McDonald
completed a fair double also scoring 18.
Batting first we were away to a solid start with the score-line 4-145. Vishnu Avudainayagam (25), Aolei Yu (44) and Jason McDonald (40) were
all among the runs but when James Mahony-Brack went for a well-made 29 and Julian Dimas (17) followed soon after, runs were hard to come
by. Chasing a competitive 180 Gordon did it tough against some tight bowling and fielding. At 7-150 we were in the thick of it all but a tail-end
fight-back managed to get them across the line with three overs to spare. Eight bowlers were tried with Cooper Smith (2-32 off 12 overs),
Ravin De Silva (2-22), McDonald (2-20) and Mahony-Brack (2-25) sharing the wickets.
Sent in to bat we lost an early wicket before Julian Dimas (23) and Ravin De Silva (31) stabilised the situation. The loss of four quick wickets in
the middle order however, saw the score slump to 5-48. We were looking at a poor total before Cooper Smith took the long handle to the
attack going on to top-score with an unconquered 34. He and Elliott Brookes put on 23 for the 10th wicket. At 2-72 the Sea Eagles were doing
it easy but the loss of four wickets for eight runs saw them topple to 6-80 with it all to do. Another wicket with the score on 100 then two at
124 by DeSilva (2-7 off 6 overs) and it was backs to the wall. Smith (2-35) was called in to finish the job and he did so with 10 runs in the bank.
A good start of 65 by Adam Docos (35) and Aolei Yu (37) after winning the toss set the scene for a good score. However, a few quick wickets
and we were struggling at 5-106. Jason McDonald (25) and Cooper Smith (21) came to the rescue with James Mahony-Brack (23) adding the
cream to give us a competitive total. In reply, Norths quickly slumped to 4-43 due to some outstanding catching behind the wicket. The side
tightened the screws in mid-innings with the Bears on the back foot. A terrific run-out ended the innings 45 short of our total in the 56th over.
Smith (2-30 off 10 overs) and Tom Chichester (2-36 off 9) were the pick of the bowlers in what was a gutsy win.
A good start to be 2-90 after winning the toss thanks to Aolei Yu (43) and Ravin De Silva (22). With Jason McDonald (28) and Julian Dimas (31)
chipping-in in the middle order the score had plenty of upside. However, the tail didn’t wag as well as hoped and the last four wickets fell for
34 runs with more than four overs still to bat. However, Cooper Smith and Joshua Towell both struck early to have the Whales 2-6. Steady
bowling and tight fielding wore down the batting resolve as six wickets fell for 80 to have them reeling at 8-116. A late rally gave a glimmer of
hope but when Smith (3-16 of 12 overs) struck again it was all over. Towell finished with 2-14 while James Mahony-Brack took 2-25.
Winning the toss and batting on a hot day proved its value with the score going along nicely at 3-124 after 40 overs. Aolei Yu was again the star
with 64 off 117 balls while Ravin De Silva hit 33 off 54. Jason McDonald then held the innings together with a fantastic 54 off 74 balls to post
our first 200 plus score of the competition. In reply Cooper Smith grabbing a quick Uni. wicket while Yashraj Cheema struck with the total on
30. Then came the over of the season for Smith as he hit the stumps with the first and second ball of the 10th over then had the new man in
caught off the fifth to give him three wickets in five balls. The then score-line was 6-31 and the game was all over at 66.
Overnight rain saw the match reduced to 52 overs a side but winning the toss the decision was to bat. The St George pacemen however, were
really on their game and we were quickly in trouble at 7-34 with only Aolei Yu (14) making double figures. Cooper Smith and Adam Docos tried
hard to rectify the situation putting on 31 but with Cooper out for 14 and Docos following shortly after for 23 it was just about all over. When
new ball bowlers Joshua Towell and Smith shot out two early Saints bats for just eight, there was a small window of opportunity on show.
However, that was the last of the good news with the next wicket falling with the score at 64 before the target was reached in 21.1 overs to
complete our season.

Poidevin Gray Shield
(Under 21 years)
Position in Competition: 12th
3 wins; 3 losses; 1 draw
by Rob Huxley and Peter Devlin, Coaches
With a group of talented under 21 cricketers, many now in their second and third seasons of playing 1st and 2nd grade cricket,
Randwick Petersham's Poidevin-Gray Shield squad held high aspirations of playing finals cricket. The competition structure was
the same as last season, consisting of two T20's and five 50 overs matches.
The team got off to a solid start with a win against Manly in a one dayer. Manly won the toss on a good Coogee Oval wicket and
were restricted by some fantastic team bowling and fielding. At 1-150, Manly had batted hard by preserving wickets and earned
the right to go down swinging for some late runs. Our lads were up to the challenge though with Daniel Sams the star in taking
5-22 which included a hat-trick. Full and straight bowling at its best and Manly's innings closed at 8-188 after 50 overs. In reply,
we got the job done but not before giving Manly a sniff or four. Most of the batsmen got starts (Jake Scicluna 35, Daniel Sams
44, Shaun Eaton 25, Soumil Chhibber 22) but unfortunately none went on to close the match out. In the end it was left to Jarryd
Biviano (20*) and debutante leg spinner Jack Preddey (6*) to guide the ship home in the 47th over.
The next two matches were both T20's starting with Mosman at Allan Border. Batting first the team lost steady wickets in
compiling a competitive total of 129. Scicluna (24), Brandon McLean (26) and Biviano (27*) were the main contributors. When
taking the field however, our Randy Pete's put on a “masterclass” in bowling out Mosman for 94. There was some good bowling
led by skipper McLean (4-8 off four overs) but the fielding was the highlight. In front of a strong crowd gathering in anticipation
for the 1st Grade T20 to follow, the team caught and fielded as if the main game for the day had already begun. Daniel Sams
took two catches in addition to two run-outs, ‘keeper Biviano held three catches and had a hand in three run-outs while Kushaal
Ram took a catch and effected a run-out. One of the best fielding displays ever seen by those at the ground no doubt.
In the T20 vs Uni. of NSW at Coogee Oval, the team had its most convincing win of the campaign. Another fine team
performance saw Uni. bowled out for 103. The wickets were shared amongst the bowlers of Sams (2), B.McLean (2), Preddey (2)
and two more fantastic run-outs although Nathan Ellis was superb in taking 2-10 from his three overs. It was the beginning of a
great day for Nathan as he backed it up with 4-10 from four overs in the 1st Grade game which followed! Scicluna, Sams,
Brandon McLean and Chhibber all batted with poise in chasing down the total.
Three wins from the team’s first three games was the perfect start. Unfortunately our season took a turn for the worse from
that point. We had a washout in round 4 vs Hawkesbury at Petersham Oval due to a drenched outfield. Credit to the
groundsman, as the wicket was in good order and marked up but the rain would not let up. Match Drawn.
Round 5 at Old Kings Oval was a toss of the coin match in hindsight. It was an absolute scorcher out west with temperatures
exceeding 40 degrees. RPC restricted Parramatta to 5-227 after 50 overs on a belting wicket and it was game on. In the absence
and huge loss of Daniel Sams to a fractured thumb the day before, the new ball pairing of Ellis (2-32 off 10 overs) and Hayden
McLean (0/21 off eight) built pressure on the defending competition premiers. A fine spell from Jack Preddey (0-38 from 10)
showed his class and future potential. Whilst the Parramatta skipper Bertus had some luck in compiling an innings of 96, his
performance was in the end the difference between the two teams. The sapping heat played a part in our poor batting with
only Jake Scicluna (52), Morgan Clune (29) and Shaun Eaton (23) providing any real resistance in a 60 run defeat. To rub salt into
the wounds, the team experienced its second fractured thumb of the weekend when Brandon McLean fielded a ball from his
own bowling! Thumbs down!!
We would later learn following the completion of the preliminary rounds that our next match against North Sydney at Bon
Andrews Oval was a “must win”. In winning the toss and batting, an opening partnership of 46 between Andy Coles (23) and
Scicluna (35) got the team off to a positive start. A middle order collapse was to follow although the innings was salvaged
somewhat by a fine innings from Soumil Chhibber (46). It was a dig of real class from “Chhibby”, played in complete control
until he was unluckily caught on the boundary in search of quick runs. Hayden McLean (24) provided assistance with some fine
late overs hitting. The total of 200 (49.2 overs) was never really enough though as a couple of the North Sydney batters waited
patiently for balls in their zone. Norths’ Avendano was particularly destructive in his innings of 77. Norths home with eight balls
to spare and six down. Nathan Ellis showed real fight in his figures of 3-24 from 10 overs.
In the final match Round 7, we were sent in at Chatswood Oval. Gordon bowled exceptionally straight in keeping RPC at 9-206.
Jake Scicluna (73) again scored the majority of the team runs and had support from Chhibber (37) and Biviano (27). Gordon
came out hard and eventually won the match 5-207 inside 44 overs. Shaun Eaton (2-43 off 10 overs) and Soumil Chhibber (1-21
from seven) were effective with the ball. Interestingly, the final three losses were to teams which made the quarter finals.
In summary, most would agree it was a season of promise with little return. A side that many other teams in mid-competition
would have feared, never realised its potential. Sadly, the team’s best player and match winner in Daniel Sams, missed the final
three games and that was telling. We fell a long way short in the end however, all 15 players who represented Randwick
Petersham's Poidevin Gray team this season always gave their best. Well done to Brandon McLean in captaining the side with
distinction and encouraging his team to play the Randy Pete's way.

The Club would like to congratulate and thank Brandon McLean, Kushaal Ram and Daniel Sams for their years of service in
representing the team. To the remaining players who are around for year(s) to come…you have some unfinished business!
A big thank you to our main scorer Chris McLeod and his trainee staff of Tony Biviano, Mark Preddey and John Clune. Our
wonderful canteen ladies Anyes McLean, Simone Ellis, Sharon Biviano and Robin Gardner. To Alan Vaughan in managing the
team and taking photos, Anyes again for her organisation of players clothing and to all other parents and supporters. Finally to
both Peter's wife Jennie and his daughter's Kacey and Ash for their ongoing support as well as Deb and Emelia on Rob's behalf.

BIG BASH LEAGUE 3
The Randy Petes were represented by four players in the Big Bash League this
summer. Simon Katich captained the Perth Scorchers to their first BBL title defeating
the Hobart Hurricanes after being Finalists the previous two years. A fitting way for
Kat to (possibly) end his domestic career.
In round 1 v Sydney Sixers at the SCG, Usman Khawaja and David Warner combined
to hit 116 for the first wicket off just 11 overs. Warner was caught in the deep for 50
while Usman made 66 in a match won by the Sixers.
Kat had an outstanding tournament finishing second overall amongst the batsman
with 314 runs at 31.40 including a top score of 75. The leading batsman was Hobart
Hurricanes’ Ben Dunk with 395.

Simon Katich
Simon was an established first class player when he joined Randwick
Petersham in 2002-03 having played for WA for 6 seasons. He was
immediately drafted into the NSW Sheffield Shield team where he
remained for the following 10 summers. In just his second season with
NSW, Simon became Randwick Petersham’s first Test cricketer when he
played for Australia against Zimbabwe at the Sydney Cricket Ground in
2003. From there he went on to a Test career spanning 56 matches scoring
4,188 runs at the excellent average of 45.03 with 10 centuries. He also
played 45 One-Day International matches and three T20 Internationals. He
scored his maiden Test century with 125 against India at the Sydney Cricket
Ground in 2004 and in 2009 was named Australian Test Player of the Year.
Katich also had a magnificent career for New South Wales starring as both
player and captain before he announced his retirement from first class
cricket in Australia in June 2012. He represented NSW in 58 first class
matches scoring 5,309 runs at an average of 61.73 including 15 centuries.
Simon played 56 Limited Overs matches for the state scoring 1,846 runs at
the superb average of 40.13 and had the distinction of leading the Blues to
victory in the inaugural Champions League Twenty20 tournament in India in 2009. That same year Simon showed his versatility
by being a contestant on Channel 10’s “Celebrity Master Chef” where he got through to the second round after cooking a
delicious looking soufflé.
His best season for NSW was 2007-08 when he scored an amazing 1,506 runs setting a new record for the most runs in a season
throughout the 116 years of the Sheffield Shield competition. When he passed 1,327 he had scored the most first class runs in a
season for NSW. He also scored a century against each of the other five states. Simon also led the side to victory in the Sheffield
Shield, then known as the Pura Cup, having scored a century against each State. His massive 306 against Queensland that season
was the highest individual score at the Sydney Cricket Ground since Don Bradman hit 452 against Queensland 78 years earlier in
1929-30. His all-time average of 83.42 at the Sydney Cricket Ground was second only to Bradman’s 91.46. At seasons end he was
awarded the prestigious Steve Waugh Medal for the second time.
At club level, to the end of 2013-14 Simon Katich was Randwick Petersham’s fifth highest scoring 1st Grade batsman with 2,742
runs including 6 centuries from 60 matches. He began with an inauspicious duck in round 1 of 2002-03 against University of
NSW followed in round 2 by an almighty 177 against Mosman at Petersham Oval with nine sixes and 17 fours. That score
remained a club 1st Grade record for the following seven years while his season batting average of 96.83 in 2007-08 remains a
record. His nine sixes in that innings was a club record until 2007-08 when he hit 10 in his innings of 149 not out against St
George at Hurstville Oval in the 1st Grade Qualifying Final. The magnitude of that innings is measured by the fact St George went
on to become premiers that season.
Apart from being our first Australian Test cricketer, he was also our first Australian One Day International player, our first
Australian Twenty20 player, our first Australia A player, our first Australian overseas tourist, our first NSW player and our first
NSW Captain.
Simon played his last full season of first class cricket in 2013 with English county club Lancashire. In an interesting switch his
replacement in 2014 was Usman Khawaja, the man who was presented with his Randwick Petersham 1st Grade cap in 2003 by
none other than Simon himself.
The prestige which Simon Katich has brought to this club is immeasurable. He is one of the true gentlemen of the game with a
passion only surpassed by his competitive spirit and his pursuit of excellence in everything he does. He has been only too willing
to be the focal point at club fund-raisers which he has performed regularly to the great benefit of club finances. He is one of the
most respected cricketers in the game and has a public following second to none. We have been very fortunate to have had him
in our midst over the past 13 years displaying a loyalty to Randwick Petersham no person could doubt.
The Management Committee’s nomination of Simon Katich this year to join the outstanding list of Life Members of Randwick
Petersham Cricket is a privilege he richly deserves. Life membership is an honour to be earnt. Simon Katich has done just that
and is entitled to be acknowledged with the club’s highest award.

The Award Winners 2013-14
PLAYER OF THE SEASON
The O A Taylor / Martin Bedkober Memorial Award
Sponsored by former Randwick 1st Grade fast bowler Paul Fitzgerald of Hampstead Homes
Ossie Taylor served Randwick as a player and administrator for 64 years before his death in 1976. He scored more than 4,500 runs and was
Secretary for a record 19 years. The O A Taylor Memorial Player of the Season Award was first presented by Randwick in 1977.
Martin Bedkober was a promising opening batsman and wicketkeeper with Petersham-Marrickville before his untimely death in a cricket match in
1975 aged just 21. In A W Green Shield in 1968-69, he scored 645 runs and effected 23 dismissals behind the stumps—both records for the club.
The Martin Bedkober Memorial Trophy for the Most Promising Player was first presented by the Petersham-Marrickville club in 1976.
Nick Charlwood
When fast bowler Nick Charlwood set new bowling standards for the club in the A W Green
Shield competition of 2006-07 he looked set for an outstanding career as a new ball bowler. He
took 20 wickets at just 8.30 apiece with 6 for 9 against North Sydney his best. Each of those
figures created a club record which remains in place to this day. Six years on and he is not only
a bowling wickets century-maker but a batting century-maker with a 500 runs season!
Entrusted with the 3rd Grade captaincy Nick stepped up to the plate opening the batting as well
as the bowling. Prior to this season Nick had an imposing record of 916 runs and 119 wickets in
72 matches. And while he added another 26 wickets this summer it was his batting which
blossomed enabling him to finish with 542 runs. He is now on the verge of a double milestone
with 1,458 runs and 135 wickets. The 1,500 runs/150 wickets double looks a mere formality.
After being run out for a duck in the first game this season Nick had the thrill of hitting a
century just two matches later. Against North Sydney at Petersham Oval, Nick scored 109 and
put on 121 for the first wicket with Andy Coles. He also took 3-61 off 17 overs to complete a
fine captain’s double. Just four games later playing Sydney University at Coogee Oval he made a
neat 100 in his team’s total of 282 which unfortunately was not enough to keep out the
students. A couple of matches later and with 428 3rd Grade runs to his name he was drafted
into the opener’s spot in 2nd Grade where he totalled 114 in his six games. His 3-43 in the last
game of the season against third placed St George ensured his side a good win.
At 23 years of age, Nick had a most consistent and rewarding season. He has been in the mix of
top performances over the years but 2013-14 brought out the best in him.
The season he had in England playing for Westcliff CC in Essex as the first recipient under the club’s Phil Tresidder Memorial
Scholarship scheme obviously did wonders for him. Being the teams “pro” he was required to bat in the first three and open the
bowling. This additional responsibility coupled with the team expectation changed his attitude to batting. Similarly as the
overseas player, running training sessions, providing advice to younger players and captaining various club teams, his skills as a
leader were enhanced. By his own admission he grew as a player, an outcome clearly reflected in this season’s performances.
Nick Charlwood has plenty of good cricket ahead of him and it would be no surprise to many keen judges to see him take out
this award again in the years ahead. Congratulations Nick Charlwood. A worthy winner of this prestigious award.
CLUBMAN OF THE YEAR - PLAYER
The Tim Towers / Stuart Gardner Memorial Award
Sponsored by Harry Solomons through Kingsgrove Sports
Tim Towers was a left hand fast bowler with Randwick. He died in 1991 from cancer aged 36. Tim took 233 wickets in 11 seasons and played in
Randwick’s 1977-78 and 1979-80 1st Grade premiership teams. The Tim Towers Clubman of the Year was first presented by Randwick in 1991.
Stuart Gardner was a left hand spin bowler with Petersham-Marrickville. He died in 1994 from cancer aged 51. Stuart played for 25 seasons
taking 510 wickets and scoring 3,294 runs. He played in the 1st Grade premiership team of 1974-75 and was made a Life Member of the club in
1991. The Stuart Gardner Clubman of the Year Award was first presented by the Petersham-Marrickville club in 1994.
James Tyson
James Tyson had a fantastic season in 2nd Grade and it was not due to any lack of effort
on his part that the side faltered a little towards the end to miss out on a spot in the
final series. The left-arm quick bowled a marathon 230 overs in returning a season tally
of 32 wickets. It was the most overs bowled in a season in 2nd Grade since Rodney
Stafford completed 256 in 2006-07. James also had a game in 3s taking another four
wickets off 16 overs to give him a season total of 36 wickets from 249 overs.
In the match against Western Suburbs at Pratten Park, “Tyso” showed that 31 is not too
old to be a fast bowler as he sent down 37 overs in taking 6 for 99 with three caught
behind and two bowled. The drawn result did not reflect true justice for such a
contribution. He followed up that herculean performance with another 21 overs next
game against Sydney at Petersham Oval to take 5 for 54. Earlier he had secured 5 for
53 against North Sydney at Bon Andrews Oval. By season’s end James was on the
threshold of a couple of milestones with 199 club wickets including 143 in 2nd Grade.
62
The improvement in his batting also proved a real boon with a number of valuable rear-guard innings including a fine 27 in a 61
run partnership with Hayden McLean for the ninth wicket against Sutherland at Petersham. He averaged a handy 16.4.
Apart from playing with distinction on the cricket field, James Tyson performs another important role for the club. Over the past
two seasons he has handled with expertise the organisation’s financial affairs as Randwick Petersham’s Financial Controller.
When the yearly expenditure of the club is around the $300,000 mark it is essential we have the right person in this exacting
role. Fortunately for the future of the club James has performed his duties with meticulous care and precision. Through our
founding clubs we have a history of dedicated and long-serving treasurers. It is through their efforts and those of James Tyson
that the club is in the enviable financial position it is when compared to many other Grade clubs. James Tyson has had a great
season both on and off the field. His record speaks highly of his value to the club over a number of years and it is a fitting tribute
to his dedication and commitment that he has been awarded the Player Clubman of the Year Award.
CLUBMAN OF THE YEAR – NON PLAYER
The Bernie Bayley Memorial Award
Sponsored by Margaret Bayley
Bernie Bayley was a popular and enthusiastic volunteer who was manager of the Second Grade team for five years prior to his death in February
2009. Bernie’s wife Margaret sponsors this award on behalf of the Bayley Family.
Chris McLeod
With a need for accuracy, precision and accountability, scoring for a 1st
Grade cricket team creates certain high level challenges. Successfully
meeting those demands however, can be most rewarding for any keen
and dedicated scorer. Randwick Petersham’s 30 year old scorer Chris
McLeod tasted such rewards this summer when appointed to officiate at a
number of representative matches.
Meeting ongoing challenges has hardly been an issue for Chris who has
had more than his fair share of ups and downs throughout his life. Born at
Paddington Women’s Hospital in 1983, Chris was a very sick child being
diagnosed with chronic renal failure when just a year old. Too tiny to
receive a kidney transplant the youngster received daily peritoneal dialysis
treatment until he was three and a half. It was then that a parent’s
unconditional love for a child was never more apparent as Chris received
the life-saving donation of a kidney from his father Neil in May 1987.
Chris enjoyed a normal childhood growing up in South Maroubra where
he still lives. The kidney transplant prevented him from playing contact
sports although he played a bit of soccer. However, it was cricket in the
summer that he really loved. His mum and dad were both cricket fans so Chris and his younger brother Michael grew up playing
a lot of backyard cricket.
Chris played junior cricket with the Sydney Coastal club from under 12s through to under 18s while going to school at South
Sydney High, the same school as President Mike Whitney shown above presenting him with his Clubman of the Year trophy.
After leaving school in 2002 he played cricket in the local South Sydney competition. And while he enjoyed playing the game he
showed a great interest in the scorebook duties, a role he fulfilled until March 2005 when he again took ill. Medical advice
revealed that the transplanted kidney 18 years earlier was beginning to fail and he would need a replacement. This forced him
back into dialysis treatment and on to the transplant waiting list as a further kidney donation from his family was not possible.
This period of Chris’ life was extremely challenging. A number of complications arose while on dialysis resulting in no less than
six operations over the following three and a half years. However, in June 2008 the wait was over and he received his second
kidney transplant.
With renewed enthusiasm for life, Chris started an accounting course at Randwick TAFE in 2009 and got talking cricket with a
class-mate by the name of Ron Crippin. After telling Ron his story, the former dashing New South Wales opener and Randwick
1st Grade captain invited Chris to “come and do some scoring for Randwick Petersham”. With the medical advice not to play
cricket with his new transplanted kidney, Chris decided to venture down to Coogee Oval prior to the start of the 2009-10 season
where Bill Anderson and David Holland extended him an enthusiastic welcome.
After a season “apprenticed” to 1st Grade scorer Michael Arratoon who was commuting from Newcastle, Chris was installed as
official 1st Grade scorer from 2010-11. This was a season when computer entries into the Sydney Cricket Association results and
statistics system took on new meaning and Chris’ ability with the technology was a real boon for the club.
Despite being a relative “new chum” on the scorer’s circuit, Chris’ ability was quickly recognised in high places and it was a great
thrill for him and the club when he was selected to score in the Ryobi Cup match between New South Wales and South Australia
at Drummoyne Oval last October. That was followed by the women's national under 15 championships across Western
Sydney. He then scored in the women’s Twenty20 semi-finals at Blacktown International Sportspark before being appointed as
Official Scorer to the Women’s National Cricket League Final between New South Wales and Victoria at North Sydney Oval. A
New South Wales v Tasmania Futures League match at Blacktown International Sportspark in February completed a fine
summer of representative duties for our young scorer.
63
After just five seasons with Randwick Petersham Chris McLeod seems well entrenched at the top of the Coogee Oval pavilion
filling out the scorebook from a spot Randwick’s David Sherwood did for 52 years between 1933 and 1985. When he visits
Petersham Oval he is emulating the feats of Brian Proops another outstanding scorer who pushed the pencils for PetershamMarrickville for over 40 years. Both of those gentlemen scored in cricket matches at the highest level and for a budding top class
scorer like Chris there are no greater role models. He is an ideal choice as our Clubman of the Year-Non-Player category.
Chris McLeod was born on 1 November 1983 the day the champion New Zealand racehorse Kiwi came with a barnstorming
finish from last on the turn to win the Melbourne Cup. Keen race-goers claimed it was his big heart which got him across the
line. With the many hurdles overcome by Chris in his short lifetime it may well be he has a heart as big as Kiwi!
MOST PROMISING PLAYER IN THE CLUB
The Keith Austin Memorial Award
Sponsored by club supporter James Wynn on behalf of JWI Advisory
Keith Austin was a long-time supporter of the Randwick club before his death in 1948. This award was first presented by his sons Alan and Stan
in 1949 and continued for 61 years before being withdrawn by the family in 2011. In recognition of the Austin family’s outstanding contribution for
more than half a century the club has been able to maintain this award through a generous sponsorship from club supporter James Wynn.
Nathan Ellis
Brought in to replace the injured Jake Wilson in round 2 against Easts at Waverley
Oval, Nathan Ellis was the seventh youngest player at 19 years and 20 days to
make his 1st Grade debut with the club. He bowled first change that day and
celebrated when he had well-established first grader and former State player Ian
Moran caught behind by Anthony Sams for just six. It was just the eighth ball he
had bowled and had not conceded a run. He finished with 2-24 off 11 overs in an
impressive debut. Clearly the selectors knew what they were doing as the young
right arm pace bowler became one of the successes of the season taking 22
wickets in his 16 games in the top grade. Next match at Coogee he took 3-23 off 12
overs after taking two quick wickets to have North Sydney on the back foot at 2-13.
In the Twenty20 match against Uni. of NSW at Coogee, Nathan was introduced to
the attack with the score 2-16 and bowled an inspired spell to knock over the next
three without conceding a run and have the students floundering at 5-16. The
game was won easily and Nathan was named Carlton Mid Player of the Round. In
the last of the competition preliminary rounds against St George at Hurstville
where a win would ensure a place in the finals series, Ellis blasted out Saints’ three
top bats (Copeland, May, Chu) in the space of a few balls again without conceding a run! Saints slumped from 2-55 to 5-63 and
never recovered. But the best was yet to come as the young quick cut a swathe through the strong Sydney University
premiership-line up in the Semi-Final at Coogee when he took 5-37 to have the students 9-101 before they finished with 179. His
first five overs that day allowed nine runs but in the following three overs he took four wickets for three runs! By the end of his
12th over he had the amazing figures of 5-19 against a team which ended up 1st Grade Premiers. With a century (106*) under
his belt in 5th Grade two seasons ago, Nathan Ellis gives every indication of being a top all-rounder.
MOST PROMISING METROPOLITAN CUP PLAYER
The Don Wright Memorial Award
Sponsored by Alan Wright
Don Wright was the father of Alan and Peter Wright, both long-term playing members of Randwick and Life Members of Randwick Petersham who
have served on the Management Committee since 2001-02. Alan has been Chairman of Selectors and Peter the club’s Delegate to the Association
during that same period.
Jack Hopkins
Sixteen years old Waverley College schoolboy Jack Hopkins Joined Randwick Petersham shortly after the New Year. He went on
to play seven games in the Metropolitan Cup competition scoring 173 runs at 19.22. A right hand batsman with a good range of
shots he batted first or second wicket down showing his skills against Balmain Tigers with a fine 51 following up just two
matches later with a terrific 72 against Wests. One of the best fielders in the competition, young Jack also showed promise as a
new ball bowler with an ability to get the ball to hoop in prodigiously to clean up a few right-hand batsmen. Many of his 13
wickets at 11.08 were achieved in that manner. His best performances were 4-19 against Wests and 4-27 against Mosman.
The most impressive aspect of his game however, was his attitude. From the time he joined the club he never missed a practice
session. He utilised the whole of every training period either batting, bowling or fielding and was never seen idly standing by.
With his obvious playing skills and his approach to the game he looks an exciting future prospect.
64
MOST IMPROVED LOWER GRADE PLAYER
The Burke and Davies Families Award
Sponsored by former Randwick batsmen Chris Burke and Ross Davies
Kevin Burke was a senior vice president of Randwick who first presented this award in 1976. Kevin died in 1998. Chris Burke is a nephew of Kevin
and a former long-term lower grade player with Randwick
Haydn Davies, father of Life Member Ross, was a vice president and great supporter of Randwick who died in 1984. His memorial award was first
presented in 1992. Ross’ brother Peter was the captain of Randwick’s first 5th Grade team in 1978 which made the semis. He died in May 2002.
Jaya Murdita
Jaya began his summer in 5th Grade having played 10 matches there last season. However, after just one match where he took
3-34 off 13 well-controlled overs opening the bowling and followed up with a match-winning 33 not out at number seven, he
was promoted to 4th Grade. That was the beginning of a journey which saw him play two of the final three games in 2nd Grade.
In the two games he played in 4th Grade, the 17 years old right arm pace bowler took six wickets including a 3-27 effort off a
tight 16 overs to bowl North Sydney out just 18 runs short of victory. Those efforts resulted in an elevation to 3rd Grade where
he went on to play seven games taking 13 wickets. His 3-16 off six overs against Blacktown saw them dismissed for only 35, a
new record low score for an opponent in 3rd Grade. Taking the first three wickets against Sutherland with just 33 on the board
wasn’t enough for him to help defend a poor score of 117 but it gave his side a glimmer of hope along the way.
Murdita’s first game in 2nd Grade was an eventful game for the debutante against Wests at the famous Pratten Park. Bowling
first, Jaya was a picture of length and control as he bowled 15 splendid overs conceding just 17 runs while taking the wicket of
the Wests top-scorer caught behind. Facing almost certain defeat with his side 9-124 chasing 240 when he strode to the wicket,
Jaya showed plenty of determination and resolve as he batted with Hayden McLean for 55 minutes to force a draw.
A Marcellin College pupil, Jaya Murdita is a much improved cricketer having begun his career three seasons ago as a batsman in
the Metropolitan Cup. He is an outstanding trainer and bowls in the nets the way he bowls in a match. No half measures. If Jaya
continues to develop as he did this summer, top grade honours will not be beyond him. Another exciting prospect.
BEST POIDEVIN GRAY PLAYER
The Clive Johnston Memorial Award
Sponsored by former Petersham-Marrickville 1st Grade father and son batsmen John and Corey Pearson
Clive Johnston was an outstanding player with the Petersham and Petersham-Marrickville clubs, captaining 1st Grade for 17 of his 21 seasons.
He was in three premiership winning teams and scored over 10,500 grade cricket runs. He also played for NSW on 11 occasions including a
number as captain. Clive died in 1991 and this award was presented for the first time by Petersham-Marrickville that same year.
Jake Scicluna
Jake Scicluna was the dominant batsman in our PG’s team this season scoring almost twice as many runs as anyone else. He
featured in season-best partnerships for each of the first four wickets with four different players. The opening bats’ 241 runs
were scored at an average of 40.17 with 73 against Gordon in the final round at Chatswood Oval his best. He also hit a fine halfcentury (52) against Parramatta at Old Kings. He was 10th overall in the Sydney Cricket Association averages and third among
those who played six games or less. Jake missed a game due to selection in the New South Wales under 19’s team participating
in the Australian Under 19 Championships in Tasmania. Jake scored 163 in the tournament including a 90 against ACT.
It is fair to say that Jake struggled in grade games this summer but in the 1st Grade Qualifying Final at Coogee Oval against
Mosman he showed his real class. Going in to bat in the unfamiliar number eight position, he scored 119 in one of the best
innings of the season. His farming of the strike with the tail saw the creation of a new 10th wicket partnership record of 93 with
Jake Wilson who scored just seven. It was a classic innings and a display of rare talent. At 19 years of age, Jake Scicluna has two
more seasons in the Poidevin Gray competition. He is a fine player destined to go far in the game.
BEST A W GREEN SHIELD PLAYER
The Cartwright Insurances Award
Sponsored by Cartwright Insurances
Cartwright Insurances has presented this award since 1975 courtesy of the late Len Cartwright, who was a 1st Grade wicketkeeper / batsman
with Randwick and a member of the Randwick Petersham ”Legends” for many years. Len passed away on 7 November 2012 aged 85 years.
Cooper Smith
Cooper Smith had an outstanding series finishing second-highest wicket taker in the competition with 18. His fine effort won him
a place in the A W Green Shield Combined team which played Country at the end of the season. A tall new ball bowler Cooper
was a real handful for all opposing batsmen being able to swing the ball at good pace. He was a consistent wicket-taker knocking
over two batsmen in each of his first five games. He then took 3-16 off 12 overs against Mosman before recording a brilliant 412 off eight overs against University of New South Wales. Towards the end of the competition Smith made his Grade Cricket
debut with an impressive 2-8 off seven overs in 5th Grade against eventual premiers Penrith. His 5th Grade captain Jason
McLean commented in his team report that Cooper “exploded” onto the Grade Cricket scene with a “truly fantastic season of
high quality bowling and patient batting”. It seems clear that we have a rising star in our ranks and his development will be
watched with great interest in the seasons ahead.
65
BEST A W GREEN SHIELD PERFORMANCE
The Col Hollingsworth Memorial Award
Sponsored by Randwick’s first Test player and NSW captain John Benaud
Col Hollingsworth was a gifted young cricketer who died tragically at the age of 23 in 1966. He played for four years in the Petersham-Marrickville
A W Green Shield team before going on to captain NSW Colts. He was a first grader at age 16. The Col Hollingsworth Memorial Award was first
presented by the Petersham-Marrickville club in 1967.
Aolei Yu
Aolei Yu headed the batting for the season with 226 runs at the impressive average of 32.39. He relished the opportunity to
open the batting and put great value on his wicket in making himself the most consistent batsman in the side. Only once did he
fail to make double figures as he strung together scores of 21, 3, 44, 37, 43, 64 and 14. He was never bowled or leg before
wicket and was only ever out “caught”. He was involved in three “best partnerships” with the 77 for the third wicket with Ravin
De Silva against University of New South Wales and the opening partnership of 64 with Adam Docos against North Sydney the
top two. Aolei’s 64 against University of New South Wales was a particularly fine effort as he occupied the crease for 149
minutes in holding the innings together to ensure a good win for his team. He also showed great patience in scoring 43 against
Mosman in 105 minutes from 99 balls. A solid young player with a sound defence and good concentration his Grade debut next
season will be full of interest.
THE FIELDING AWARD
The Johnny Martin Memorial Award
Sponsored by Talisman Marketing through former Randwick batsman Mark Sundin
Johnny Martin was a left-hand “Chinaman” bowler who played 77 times for NSW and 8 times for Australia. He played with Petersham-Marrickville
for 15 seasons travelling 780 kms each weekend from Burrell Creek. He took 450 grade wickets, scored 3,500 runs and was a superb fieldsman.
He captained the 1st Grade side and won three premierships. The Johnny Martin Memorial Award was first awarded by Petersham-Marrickville in
1993 following his death a year earlier.
Daniel Sams
The old adage that 'catches win matches' is well known in cricket. A diving catch behind the wicket, a high ball taken on the
boundary or a sharp caught and bowled chance when the bowler is least expecting it can all change the context of a match.
With the ever-increasing amount of short-form cricket from Grade through to representative level, a saved run or an
opportunistic run-out often determines the result of a game. Fielding is one part of the game where all players can collectively
contribute. It’s a part of the game that is most challenging and requires great concentration for extended periods. Above all
though, it's a great time to enjoy the mateship that cricket offers.
Daniel Sams is a dynamic player with a big future in the game. An all-rounder who can change a game with either bat or ball,
Daniel's all-round abilities are evident in his fielding. In all grades this season, Daniel took 18 catches and had a hand in four runouts. A great effort which would have been bettered if not for the fact that he missed eight games during the season due to a
fractured thumb! A fine middle-order bat and fast bowler, when in the field Daniel is equally brilliant in the slips or the outfield.
Taking catches with soft hands or throwing down the stumps sweeping the boundary, it's hard to keep him out of the game.
In a PG's T20 match against Mosman, Daniel made contributions with bat and ball however, his two catches in addition to two
fantastic run-outs whilst sweeping on the boundary were match winners in their own right! With another catch in the 1st Grade
T20 that followed, Daniel finished the afternoon with three catches and two run-outs. Not a bad day’s work for less than 40
overs spent in the field! Daniel is a well-deserved winner of this prestigious award.
THE KEN DEVLIN AWARDS
Ken Devlin is a member of Randwick Petersham “Legends”. He is husband to Madge and father of Steve and Peter, all of whom have been
involved with the club as they were with Randwick for over 30 years. Ken first presented these awards at Randwick in 1983.
Note: To ensure all players have an equal opportunity to compete for these awards, the calculation of most runs and wickets excludes
the Grade final series of matches and Sunday games in the 1st Grade Limited Overs and Twenty 20 competitions.
MOST RUNS: Rishahb Shah—601 Runs
Rish Shah joined Randwick Petersham this season having played seven first class games in England for Marylebone Cricket Club
University. The 22 year’s old first match for the club was in 2nd Grade against Northern District at Coogee where he was caught
and bowled for 12 runs. In his second match against Eastern Suburbs at the same venue however, he showed his capability with
a solid 128 off 257 balls in a marathon 275 minutes to ensure a good win for his team. After that there was no looking back as
the stylish right hand opening bat became the most consistent player in the 2nd Grade side. He had a run of six successive scores
in the 20s and 30s until round 10 against Campbelltown at Raby when he was unfortunately run out for 83 with a second ton
well in his sights. His 87 against Gordon at Chatswood two matches later took him past the magic 500 runs mark for the season
and prompted his elevation to 1st Grade where he completed the season hitting an attractive 53 not out against Mosman as
part of his 89 runs. His future in English County Cricket will be followed with keen interest.
66
MOST WICKETS: Jake Wilson—44 Wickets
Since joining the club four years ago Jake Wilson has gone from strength to strength and is clearly
one of the top bowlers in the Sydney 1st Grade competition. And despite missing two games
through injury he had his best season yet with 44 wickets which enabled him to take out this
award for the second successive season. Jake had some outstanding performances. In his first
game back after injury he took the first six wickets against Sutherland to finish with 6-67. He
followed that up with 5-24 against Hawkesbury which included only the club’s third hat-trick in
1st Grade. The next game he took 5-78 against Sydney University and a few weeks later
demolished Wests with a 6-28 performance. His 4-30 against Mosman in the Qualifying Final was
also an effort which ensured a semi-final spot for his team. However it was the match against
Gordon where Jake’s two wickets took him to 150 1st Grade wickets. It had taken him 77
matches and he recorded the feat while bowling his 850th over! With another 15 wickets after
that Jake Wilson finished the season with a tally of 165 1st Grade scalps. And to top it off, for the
second successive year the left-arm swing bowler was named in the Sydney Cricket Association’s
1st Grade Merit XI.
THE WICKETKEEPING AWARD
The David Sherwood Memorial Award
Sponsored by Geoff Cartwright on behalf of the Cartwright Family
David Sherwood was scorer of the Randwick 1st Grade team for 52 years. He made six overseas tours as scorer for the Australian team before
his death in 1985. The Sydney Cricket Association 5th Grade trophy bears his name.
Karl Schubert—32 dismissals
Karl Schubert had one of his best seasons in his nine years with the club when he completed 32 dismissals for the summer. Of
those dismissals, 31 were achieved in 11 matches in 4th Grade while the other scalp came from two games in 3rd Grade. He
recorded five dismissals in an innings twice this season with four catches and a stumping against Sutherland at Coogee Oval and
five catches against Sydney University at Sydney Uni. 2. His best innings performance occurred in 2005-06 when he caught six
and stumped one to record seven dismissals against Eastern Suburbs. He allowed just 18 byes for the season.
Schubert also achieved another first this season passing the 1,500 runs milestone. His total of 338 for the season in both 3rd and
4th grades took his career total to 1,657. In the first match of the season Karl hit his second century for the club when he
knocked up 109 with 11 fours and four sixes opening the batting against Northern District in 4th Grade at Petersham Oval.
THE LEN CARTWRIGHT MEMORIAL SHIELD
Presented by Randwick Rotary Club
Len Cartwright was a passionate and dedicated wicketkeeper with Randwick between 1948 and 1970. The Randwick Rotary Club presented this
cup in 2014 in Len’s memory to recognise and acknowledge those wicketkeepers who record 150 or more dismissals for the club. A wonderful
supporter of Randwick Petersham and a member of Rotary, Len passed away in 2012.
Anthony Sams and Karl Schubert
In just his fourth season with the club Anthony Sams brought up 150 dismissals with another outstanding display behind the
stumps in 1st Grade. He finished the summer with 38 dismissals, just one behind the competition leader and former Randwick
Petersham ’keeper Ashley Doolan who recorded 39. Anthony’s 36 catches however, was the most by a wicket-keeper in 1st
Grade. He completed the season with a fantastic five catches in an innings in the Semi-Final against Sydney University at Coogee.
All of his 164 dismissals have been achieved in 1st Grade which is a new record for the club surpassing Daryl Parmenter’s 152 set
in 2004-05.
Karl Schubert had a double celebration this season. In round 9 against Penrith he was the first wicket-keeper to effect 100
dismissals in 4th Grade. Coincidentally, the dismissal which gave him that record was also his 150th for the club. By seasons end,
he had taken his total to an impressive 161. Of those dismissals, 119 were in 4th Grade, 33 in 5th Grade, seven in 3rds while
another two were completed in 2nd Grade.
As this is the first year of this Award, the four other wicket-keepers who passed the magic 150 dismissals mark for the club since
it came into being in 2001 and who are no longer playing, will also be acknowledged in the inscription on this Shield. With their
total number of dismissals and the year they passed 150, they are: Daryl Parmenter (152; 2004-05), Matthew Taylor (182; 200607), Neil Cohen (176; 2006-07) and Fabian Heaton (158; 2011-12).
The club extends its thanks to the Cartwright Family and Randwick Rotary Club for their generosity.

THE BILL ANDERSON COMMITMENT AWARD
Bill Anderson is the club’s Director of Cricket Operations, a Life Member and was one of Sydney’s leading batsmen as a member of the
Petersham-Marrickville 1st Grade team during the 1970’s.
Nick Stapleton
There’s no-one in Randwick Petersham Cricket Club who works harder on their game or better reflects the culture and values of
the club than Nick Stapleton.
A local junior who came up through the lower grades, Nick has become an integral part of the 1st Grade team over the past
three seasons. He was earmarked some years ago by the coaching staff as a young batsman with the genuine potential and work
ethic to perform at the highest level. He’s now well on the way to realising that potential.
Always one of the first to arrive at training and the last to leave, Nick leaves no stone unturned in his endeavours to be the best
player he can possibly be. His attention to detail with his off-season and in-season preparation means he gives himself the best
chance of producing at peak performance every time he plays. His dedication to training and improving his game is obvious
when we consider the time and effort he’s put into developing his bowling over the past three seasons, so that he’s now
become one of the most talented young all-rounders in the game.
Off the field Nick is heavily involved in coaching young cricketers as well as the club’s Junior Academy. He conducts school visits
and coaching clinics and is also a member of the Players Leadership Group.
Nick is an outstanding member of Randwick Petersham Cricket Club. He is highly regarded by players and coaches and is a most
worthy winner of the 2013 - 14 Commitment Award.
THE ENCOURAGEMENT AWARDS

Peter Rolls is a Life Member of the club and a former 1st Grade player with Petersham-Marrickville.
Andrew Sprowls: Andrew recorded the best-ever bowling performance in the club’s 13 year’s history in 5th Grade this season. His 8-32
against North Sydney at Kensington Oval overcame the previous best of 8-34 by Simon McKenzie in 2003-04. The 20 years old medium pacer
was quickly promoted to 4th Grade where he completed the season adding 12 more wickets to his tally to give him 26 for the season at an
overall average of 13.7.
THE DUNCAN SCOTT-GLASSOCK MEMORIAL AWARD
Duncan Scott-Glassock was a former 1st Grade seam bowler with Randwick in the 1970’s who died in 2006 aged just 57. This award continues in
his name through the generosity of his wife Penny and family.
Rehaan Nawaz: Rehaan is an emerging young player just 17 years of age who had an excellent season in 5th Grade and was elevated to
4ths for a couple of matches. He scored 170 runs and took 20 wickets with his medium pacers. He impressed his captain Jason McLean as a
player who relished the chance to bowl at “the death” in tight games. His best performance with the bat was 36 batting at number 8 against
Sydney Uni. while with the ball he took 5-39 off 12 overs against Blacktown. He also held seven catches.

second match and celebrated his 2nd Grade debut just before Christmas with a return of 4-59. He finished the season with 26 wickets in both
grades. He was also handy as a lower order bat scoring 151 runs including a best score of 33.
THE JOHN CONNELL AWARD
John Connell has been a manager of many club teams including a number which have won premierships.
Mitchell Wickham: Mitchell had the distinction of scoring the only century in 5th Grade this season when he smashed 101 with eight
fours and five sixes against eventual premiers Penrith at Kensington Oval. Having batted in the middle order for a total of 36 in six innings his
elevation to the top of the order turned around his form. A 19 years old wicket-keeper / batsman, Mitchell completed the season in 4th Grade
adding 76 to his 5th Grade total of 159 to give him a season tally of 235. In limited opportunities behind the stumps he had nine dismissals.

dismissals—23 in 2nd Grade and two in 1sts. He also had a solid season with the bat scoring 266 runs mainly at number seven or eight in the
batting line-up. His 84 runs in Poidevin Gray (under 21 years) gave him a season tally of 350. At just 19 years of age Jarryd remains one of the
most promising players in the club.

THE ERNIE TOSHACK MEMORIAL AWARD
Sponsored by Lyall Gardner
Ernie Toshack, a member of Don Bradman’s 1948 “Invincibles”, holds a special place in the history of Randwick Petersham Cricket because he is
the only cricketer to have played with the three clubs behind Randwick Petersham – Petersham, Marrickville and Randwick. He died in May
2003 and the club committee introduced this award in July 2003.
2012-13 Winner: Denis Hinds
Because of Ernie Toshack’s unequalled association with Randwick Petersham Cricket, the Management Committee of the club has
honoured his memory with a special annual award. The award is announced and presented at the Annual General Meeting of the club to a
person or persons who the Management Committee determines has or have made a significant contribution to Randwick Petersham, either
directly or indirectly through the club or founding clubs over an extended period of time.
For an award which is designed to acknowledge those who have made a difference to the
club through dedication and commitment, Denis Hinds was a most worthy and fitting person
to be presented with the club’s most prestigious trophy at the 2013 Annual General
Meeting. Whether as player, mentor, advisor, organiser or developer of junior talent, Denis
Hinds has given the game of cricket a lifetime of whole-hearted purpose and devotion. And
he continues to do so despite the fact that many others of his era have long hung up their
boots.
Hinds linked up with Randwick in 1985-86 shortly after his club Sydney was dropped from
the 1st Grade competition. A wily left-arm orthodox spin bowler, 21 years old Denis took the
first of his 938 Sydney Grade Cricket wickets when he joined the now defunct Sydney Cricket
Club in 1972. He made his 1st Grade debut in 1976-77 before finishing his term with Sydney
as 2nd Grade captain.
In the past 28 years, Denis Hinds has achieved an imposing Randwick / Randwick Petersham
record on the playing field including a Randwick Petersham 4th Grade premiership win
among many fine bowling performances. However, it could be argued his finest moments
have occurred during the past few seasons in the ranks of the Metropolitan Cup where he
has directed his energy towards the future of the club’s many young up-and-coming players. His first season in the Metropolitan
Cup was 2005-06 when he played nine games. In the seasons which have followed he has captained both of the club’s teams
varying his presence as a means of balancing the sides. Four times he has led the “Green” team while twice he was at the helm
of “Gold”. Content to “direct traffic” on the field to ensure every opportunity for the youngsters to develop their game, he takes
the ball only on those occasions when the situation calls for his guile and experience.
Denis’ outstanding contribution to the game and the club was formally acknowledged in 2006 when he was made the 43rd Life
Member of Randwick Petersham. It was a fitting tribute to a true gentleman of the game who has always played with fairness
and honour. Denis Hinds is a worthy and proud recipient of this coveted award.
Randwick Petersham’s Elder Statesman
Gordon Stone
Gordon Stone, who turned 100 on Sunday 13 April 2014 is Randwick Petersham’s oldest
surviving 1st Grade cricketer. He played 1st Grade cricket for Randwick in 1933-34 as a 20 year
old. And while he failed to score in the two innings he played that season he was entitled to have
been promoted following a brilliant century against St George in 2nd Grade and 88 in his only
3rd Grade match. He also headed both batting aggregate and averages in the under 21 years
Poidevin Gray competition where he scored 165 at 32.60. He was the club’s top batsman in that
competition again the following 1934-35 season.
Gordon again played 1sts in 1934-35 but a big score eluded him totalling just 35 in five trips to
the crease. Described by legendary all-rounder Frank Merchant who was 2nd Grade captain as “a
very sound batsman” he again showed his class in 1935-36 heading the 2nd Grade batting with
312 runs at an average of 34.66. He rattled up his second “ton” with 101 against Mosman.
Stone tasted premiership honours for the first time as a member of the victorious and unbeaten
3rd Grade team of 1936-37. However, after just a handful of matches in 2s and 3s in 1937-38 he
decided to hang up his boots. For some years he had been juggling his cricket and rugby commitments with Randwick Rugby
Club where he was a member of the 1934 1st Grade premiership side. He went on to two other premierships with Randwick
Rugby in 1938 and 1940. He also was a seven-time New South Wales rugby representative.
It appears that Gordon Stone is also the oldest living rugby union Wallaby having played a Test match for Australia against the All
Blacks at the Sydney Cricket Ground in 1938. The New South Wales Cricket Association also believes that Gordon is the oldest
surviving Sydney 1st Grade cricketer.
In his time with Randwick Cricket, Gordon Stone scored 1,425 runs in all grades with two centuries. With his Poidevin Gray
performances the total was 1,812.

The Pride of the Baggy Green
To recognise the achievement of players selected in the Randwick Petersham First XI, the club introduced a capping system in
2001-02, its first season. A player who plays in the 1st Grade team is presented with a Randwick Petersham “Baggy Green” cap
bearing the club’s logo and becomes listed as a club “capped” player. Numbers are allocated in order of selection although when
two or more players are selected at the same time, the allocation is in surname alphabetical order. Players retain the number
they are allocated for all time. The last number allocated will also reflect the total number of players to play in the club’s 1st
Grade team.
A total of 94 players have now played in the First XI since the club’s creation 13 years ago. This season five players made their
debut as first graders with Randwick Petersham. Each was presented with a cap before the start of play in their first match in
the top grade. The capped players this season were:
No. 90 David Warner: Australian Test opening batsman David joined us from Eastern Suburbs and made his debut with
Randwick Petersham against his old club at Waverley Oval in round 2. He effected a run-out before the Easts opener had faced a
ball and made eight runs opening the batting in a match won by three wickets. In the fortnight following his first innings for the
club he scored three centuries in eight days for New South Wales in the limited overs Ryobi Cup competition including the
highest ever score in Australian domestic one-day cricket of 197.
No. 91 Nathan Ellis: Nathan was called in to make his 1st Grade debut against Eastern Suburbs at Waverley Oval in round 2
when regular opening bowler Jake Wilson was injured. At 19 years and 20 days Nathan was the seventh youngest to make his
1st Grade debut with Randwick Petersham. He opened the bowling and took an impressive 2-24 off 11 overs with five maidens.
His first wicket was former New South Wales player and Easts captain Ian Moran.
No. 92 Rory Burns: English County Championship “Breakthrough Player of 2013” Rory Burns joined us from Surrey CC this
season. He opened the batting in round 3 against North Sydney at Coogee Oval scoring seven runs off 25 balls. He also took two
catches in the team’s 103 runs win. In a Twenty20 match the day after that game he batted throughout the 20 overs scoring 102
not out with 11 fours and four sixes to assist his side to a solid win over Manly at Manly Oval.
No. 93 Alex Sciascia: After being one of the club’s most consistent batsmen for a number of years and having made 136 not out
against North Sydney in 2nd Grade, Alex made his 1st Grade debut in round 4 against Sutherland at Glenn McGrath Oval. He
opened the batting with another new cap Rory Burns but after striking a boundary he was caught for five off eight balls. In one
of the season’s most exciting matches the game was lost with the Sharks last man at the crease.
No. 94 Rishabh Shah: Rish had chalked up 512 runs in 2nd Grade when called into 1st Grade to make his debut in the top grade
against Western Suburbs at Coogee Oval in round 13. Unfortunately he edged the seventh ball he received to the ‘keeper to be
out for a duck. He batted again in the second innings being adjudged lbw to Australian fast left-hander Mitchell Starc for five off
four balls.
Most Valuable Player – Final Standings
Following each round match for Grades 1 to 6, excluding 1st Grade Limited
Overs, Poidevin Gray and Green Shield, players awarded the top performers

The Carlton Mid Player of the Round award was a new initiative this summer made possible by Cricket NSW sponsor Carlton
and United Breweries.
The award was presented to the player judged to have produced the most influential performance in a round of the Sydney 1st
Grade competition, 1st Grade Limited Overs or CSG Twenty20 Cup. Each winner received a case of Carlton Mid from Carlton
and United Breweries.
Rory Burns’ blistering century in Round Two of the CSG Twenty20 Cup set up Randwick Petersham’s
win against Manly-Warringah. The English County player hit 102 not out from just 64 balls, including
11 fours and four sixes, as Randwick Petersham posted 7-160 off their 20 overs. Manly-Warringah
made 6-136 in reply.
Randwick Petersham medium pacer, Nathan Ellis, was
judged Player of the Round after an impressive
performance with the ball during Round Three of the
CSG Twenty20 Cup. Ellis produced a frugal spell of 4-10
off four overs against University of NSW. He claimed
three of his wickets without conceding a run, helping to
reduce last summer’s runners-up to 5-16.University of
NSW went on to post 9-104 with Randwick Petersham winning by four wickets with
15 balls to spare. Ellis’ effort in the CSG Twenty20 Cup capped off an impressive day
for the 19-year-old. That morning he
took 2-10 in a Poidevin Gray Shield (U/21) match, also against University of NSW.
Randwick Petersham won that game by seven wickets with four overs up their
sleeves.
Adam Semple won the Player of the Match award in the CSG Twenty20 Cup
Final. He scored 37 not out off 24 deliveries as Randwick Petersham chased
down the 132 runs required for victory on the last ball of the game. He held the
chase together after the team lost 4 wickets for 13 runs.
71
A book covering an historic cricket match involving one of Randwick Petersham’s founding clubs was published during the year.
The match was the final game of the 1943-44 cricket season and resulted in a thrilling win to the Marrickville DCC in the last over
of the game against St George when one of its tail-end batsmen hit Australia’s greatest spin bowler, the legendary Bill O’Reilly
for six. It was Marrickville’s first and only 1st Grade premiership in its 30 years history.
The book, called “Marrickville’s Grandest Day”, was written by our club historian Lyall Gardner along with Lawrie Daly a
Sutherland Shire cricket umpire who has a long history with the Marrickville area and Ronald Cardwell a well-known Sydney
cricket writer and publisher. It was launched in the club museum at Coogee Oval by our patron and former Australian opening
batsman Alan Turner on 1 April 2014 to coincide with the 70th anniversary of the match played at Marrickville Oval on Saturday
1 April 1944 in front of a crowd of 8,355.
Despite the passing of those many years, there remains two surviving participants in the match. One from each team. Harry
Lenertz (93) was one of the stars of the Marrickville side scoring 40 while Harold Stapleton (99) top-scored for St George with 48.
Both were unable to attend the launch but it was a great thrill for the organisers to have the family of Harry Lenertz present to
acknowledge the release of a publication covering one of the greatest Sydney Grade Cricket finals.
The Marrickville club was one of the founding clubs of Randwick Petersham Cricket Club having merged with Petersham in 1951
to form Petersham-Marrickville which in turn was amalgamated with Randwick in 2001 to create the present club.
The Stockton Connection
In the 13 years of Randwick Petersham the club has enjoyed success in early games due to some solid pre-season preparation.
Apart from regular and well-organised net sessions and fielding drills, trial matches in Sydney and elsewhere have aided the
preparatory program. One of the more successful and popular pre-season contests has been the annual match against Stockton
in Newcastle. Teams have been going up there for the past 25 years and this season our trip coincided with Stockton’s 125 years
celebrations.
Established in 1888 Stockton is one of Newcastle’s oldest sporting bodies and is the sole surviving foundation district cricket club
in the area. Two seasons ago it entered into a partnership with another cricket body and is now known as Stockton Raymond
Terrace Cricket Club.
The connection came about in 1988-89 after Mark Kelaher, a dashing batsman with Petersham-Marrickville, joined Stockton.
Mark had topped the Petes’ 1st Grade batting averages in 1987-88 with 344 runs at 85.5 in six innings before an injury brought
an end to his season and his playing career in Sydney. His turn-out with the Newcastle sea-side club brought immediate success
as Stockton won the club championship and had its five teams in the final in each grade winning in 2nd, 4th and 5th grades.

Two teams from Randwick Petersham generally make the trip with games played at
Lynne Oval and the nearby Stockton Hospital Ground. Matches are always played in
good spirit while the off-field activities create enthusiasm and friendship ensuring
the weekend in September is a great bonding affair for both clubs. The regular
dinner is always well received while the accommodation in the caravan park
adjacent to Lynne Oval, the spectacular headquarters of Stockton Cricket provides
comfort in an idyllic setting.
The strong relationship between Randwick Petersham and Stockton has been
fostered by Stockton president Ron Hancock who has been in the chair since 197879. Mike Whitney has reciprocated with an appearance as guest speaker at the
club’s annual presentation night a few years ago. Like Whitney, Ron is highly
regarded in cricket administration circles and has managed the New South Wales
County team at the Australian Championships in each of the last three years. That’s
Ron in the photo with our own Bill Anderson.
Apart from the strong relationship brought about by a quarter-of-a-century of preseason trial matches, there are a number of other factors which connect the two
clubs.
In 1930-31 our founding club Randwick won the 1st Grade competition under the astute captaincy of Dr Eric Barbour. Dr
Barbour had joined the club a season or two earlier after seven seasons with Stockton where he had rattled up 12 centuries and
scored more than 1,000 runs in two separate seasons. Many of his performances remain Stockton records today.
Champion rugby league full-back Les Johns was a star player with Stockton before moving to Sydney where he played a couple
of successful seasons with founding club Petersham-Marrickville. In the mid-1970s Stockton fielded a team including Somerset
batsman Phil Slocombe who subsequently played in Randwick’s undefeated 1st Grade premiership team of 1977-78. And in
recent years Stockton life member Jody Whitehead played with Randwick Petersham in 2006-07 while Benn West who took two
hat-tricks in 4th Grade for Randwick Petersham in 2006-07 and 2007-08 is now with Stockton.
To top off the connection, long-term Stockton player and supporter Barry Gilbert was the licensee of the Kauri Hotel in Glebe in
the 1980s and a personal friend of Petersham-Marrickville’s 1st Grade captain Clive Johnston. Barry also sponsored “The Pete’s”.
Randwick Petersham is a club proud of its heritage as is Stockton Raymond Terrace. We congratulate Stockton on its amazing
milestone of 125 years and look forward to continuing our pre-season trial games in the years ahead.
David Warner’s Golden Summer
David Warner joined Randwick Petersham this season from neighbouring club
Eastern Suburbs. He debuted in round 2 against his old club effecting a run out
and scoring eight runs. He was selected in the Australian squad for the 2013
Ashes Series in England but following a disciplinary hearing during the course
of the ICC Champions Trophy, he was sent to South Africa to link with the
Australia “A” team. After four innings there which included a massive 193, he
returned to the UK to re-join the Ashes squad for the Third Test. In the final
three Tests he scored 135 runs at an average of 22.50.
On his return to Australia he represented New South Wales in the limitedovers Ryobi Cup competition. After a slow start with just 21 from three
innings, he scored back-to-back hundreds (139 and 138) before knocking up a
record-breaking 197. He also scored 104 in the Sheffield Shield. But it was in
the home Ashes series and the subsequent South African Test series where he
excelled, scoring a total of 1,066 runs at an average of 71.06 including four
centuries. In the Third and final Test against South Africa, it was David Warner
at his attacking best. He scored 135 in the first innings followed by 145 in the second to take Man-of-the-Match honours. He also
became the first batsman to pass 500 runs in a three Test series in South Africa. The previous best was by Jacques Kallis (498)
and Adam Gilchrist (473). In the 11 Tests he represented Australia he amassed 1,201 runs from 21 innings at an average of
57.19.

Major Milestones
5,000 Runs
Alex Sciascia became only the second player to score 5,000 runs for the club when he hit 126 against
Bankstown at Petersham Oval in round 8. He went into the game needing just 66 but breezed past the
milestone in a match which he dominated to chase down 262 and record a great win for his side. It was
the second “ton” for the right-hand opening bat as he had smashed 136 not out with 24 fours against
North Sydney at Bon Andrews Oval in round 3. His 5,000 runs was brought up in 206 innings with six
centuries. He is the club’s greatest run-getter in 3rd Grade with 2,502. He has also passed the 2,000 runs
mark in 2nd Grade to place him third behind David Mitchell (2,779) and John McLoughlin (2,628) with a
total of 2,021. And to top off a great season he made his 1st Grade debut against Sutherland at Glenn
McGrath Oval. With a Randwick Petersham career total of 5,152 runs he is second only to Usman Khawaja
who has 5,526. The Italy-born 32 year old has come a long way since his Grade Cricket debut with
Petersham-Marrickville in 1999 when he averaged 14.3 from 16 innings in 5th Grade.
200 Matches
Matt Hilder was the first of two players to complete 200 matches for the club this season. Matt reached that mark when he took the field in
4th Grade on Saturday 18 January 2014 at Raby Oval no.2 against Campbelltown-Camden. That day he scored five runs and took 0-7 off one
over. Matt played in the club’s first ever 3rd Grade team back in 2001-02 and has hardly missed a game since then. Of his 200 games he played
one in 2nd Grade, 52 in 3rd Grade, 73 in 4th Grade and 74 in 5th Grade. He was the Player of the Season in 2008-09 and has been a great asset
in the club’s administration throughout his playing career. Matt Hilder has had a wonderful Grade Cricket career. Starting in the Parramatta A W
Green Shield team of 1993-94 and debuting in 5th Grade that season, the right-hander joined Petersham-Marrickville in 1998-99 and at the
time of the merger was a regular “Pete’s” second grader. With 3,912 runs and 203 wickets, Matt has been one of the best all-rounders
produced by the club. He finished the season with 205 matches. He is the club’s leading 5th Grade batsman with 2,066 runs.
David Bourke was the second player to bring up the magic 200 games when he took his 4th Grade team as captain on to the field in round
12 against Gordon at Killara Oval on Saturday 1 February 2014. He scored six runs in that match. David was a member of the club’s first ever
2nd Grade team in 2001-02. He joined Petersham-Marrickville in 1995-96 and by the time of the merger in 2001 had played all five grades. A
highlight was when he made his 1st Grade debut in the last match of the 1997-98 season taking 6-63 against Fairfield which remains his finest
bowling performance. In his six seasons with the Pete’s he scored 1,029 runs and took 100 wickets which gives him an overall Grade Cricket
career record of 4,922 runs and 147 wickets. For Randwick Petersham his 203 matches have produced 3,893 runs with 47 wickets. His 2,560
runs in 4th Grade places him second to David Townsend who has 3,633.
300 Wickets
150 Wickets
Last season we celebrated two outstanding performers in Nigil Singh and Rod Stafford
passing 300 wickets for the club. This season we have another to add to what is becoming
an imposing list. Right arm medium pace swing bowler Chris Singh took his 300th wicket for
the club playing in 4th Grade in round 10 against Campbelltown-Camden at Raby Oval no. 2.
Interestingly, he brought up his 200th wicket in 4th Grade in round 5 against Blacktown
which took him to 296 overall, but then went three matches without a wicket! However
with two scalps in each of rounds 9 and 10 the wait was over.
Chris Singh joined Randwick Petersham in 2002-03 and within his first three games had
taken two five wicket hauls in 3rd Grade. In his 300 wickets he took five in an innings 12
times with 7-24 and 6-39 in a match against Sydney University including an amazing hat-trick
in each innings his greatest performance. He has taken 23 wickets in 2nd Grade; 49 in 3rd
Grade, 211 In 4th Grade and 23 in 5th Grade. He bowled a total of 1,691 overs for his 300
wickets. His total now stands at 306.
When left-arm swing bowler Jake Wilson enticed a catch off Gordon’s Harry Evans to wicketkeeper Anthony Sams on Saturday 8 February 2014
he completed a wonderful milestone for himself and for the club. The occasion was the second innings of the 1st Grade match against Gordon
at Petersham Oval and the edge from Evans, the leading run-getter in the competition at that stage, brought up Wilson’s 150 wickets in the top
grade. He was the first Randwick Player to achieve that feat and he did so in his 77th match while bowling the second ball of his 851st over.
Jake’s best performance was 7-44 against Campbelltown-Camden in 2011-12. He has taken five wickets in an innings nine times with four of
those hauls coming this season-the most by any 1st grader. Jake finished third in the aggregate with his 44 wickets although his economy rate of
2.57 was the best among the leading 25 bowlers in the competition.
150 Wicket-Keeping Dismissals
Shortly after Anthony Sams passed the magical 150 wicket-keeping dismissals, he went on to break Daryl Parmenter’s 2004-05 record of 152
1st Grade scalps. By season’s end he had a career total of 164. Sams finished the season with 38 dismissals to go with his 43 in 2010-11, 55 in
2011-12 and 28 last season. He also holds the record for the most dismissals in a match when he held nine catches in two innings against
Campbelltown-Camden in 2011-12.
Karl Schubert is another to pass the 150 dismissals while posting a new 4th Grade record of 119 along the way. He was the first to pass 100
dismissals in 4th Grade before setting the new mark. By the end of the season Karl had racked up a career total of 161 dismissals with seven
dismissals in an innings against Easts in 2005-06 in 4th grade his best performance.

A Hat-Full of Hat-Tricks
A hat-trick in sport is the achievement of a positive feat three times or more during a game, or
other achievements based on threes. The term was first used in 1858 in cricket to describe H H
Stephenson's feat of taking three wickets with three consecutive deliveries. A collection was held
for Stephenson, and he was presented with a hat bought with the proceeds.
A hat-trick is not a common occurrence and in Randwick Petersham’s first 12 years only 14 were
recorded. This summer however, four players have achieved the feat, the most in any season.
Daniel Sams, who won the Keith Austin Memorial Award for the most promising player in the club
last season, started this summer in style recording the club’s first hat-trick in the Poidevin Gray
under 21 years competition.
In round 1 against Manly-Warringah at Coogee Oval, the Sea Eagles were doing it easy at 2-182 in ideal batting conditions.
However, brought back into the attack by skipper Brandon McLean, the 1st Grade left-arm fast bowler went through the batting
line-up as Manly lost 6-6. Sams bowled no.5 then bowled no.8 next ball then had no. 9 caught by Nathan Ellis the very next ball
to give him the 15th hat-trick for the club and the first in PG’s. His eight overs produced a record performance of 5-22 being the
best bowling figures ever recorded for the club in the competition.
To complete a fine double, Daniel then smashed 44 off 54 balls batting at no.3 to go a long way in chasing down the target score
of 188 and get his side off to a flying start in the competition.
Jake Wilson became only the third player to take a 1st Grade hat-trick with the club and the 16th overall when he achieved the
feat against Hawkesbury in round 6 at Owen Earle Oval.
Hawkesbury were 5-120 when Wilson bowled no. 4 top-scorer Dyball who had batted 214 minutes for 44 with the last ball of his
13th over. With the first two balls of his next over Wilson wrapped both batsmen on the pads amid raucous appeals to the
umpire which were upheld. Wilson’s hat-trick prompted a collapse which saw six wickets fall for just three runs. He finished the
match with 5- 24 off 14 overs giving his team a win by a record nine wickets margin. Jake joins Scott Coyte and Nick Stapleton in
the “1st Grade Hat-Trick Club”.
Grant Rimmer stepped into the Sydney Grade Cricket record books when he took a hat-trick in the 4th Grade game against
Sydney at Coogee Oval in round 14. A bowler in the Sydney team had already performed the feat in the Randwick Petersham
innings and when Rimmer matched that performance, it mirrored a situation which had only occurred once before in the history
of the Sydney Grade Cricket competition.
With Sydney at 0-26 chasing the home team’s paltry 69 on a wet and blowy day, the ever-green Rimmer struck, bowling the
opener with the last ball of his third over. He followed up with a plumb leg before wicket with the first ball of his next over and
the following ball repeated the dose rapping the new batsman on the pads. And when the umpire after a lengthy pause raised his
finger Grant Rimmer, playing in his 177th match, had his first hat-trick for the club! And while an immediate wicket to Connor
Sykes-Morrison left Sydney 4-27 that was the last of the good news as the target was passed without additional loss.
Sydney Cricket Association historians have advised that this feat has occurred only once before in the history of the Sydney Grade
Cricket Competition. In March 1900, 114 years ago, in the 1st Grade match between Leichhardt and Redfern, A. Curtis took 3-9
for Leichhardt and W.H. Lipscombe 6-18 for Redfern with each taking a hat-trick in the match.
Nabeel Jamal completed a hat-trick in the Metropolitan Cup ‘Origin’ Clash at Coogee Oval just before Christmas. The match was
played between the two Randwick Petersham Metro Cup teams, Green and Gold. Playing for RP Gold Nabeel, a right-arm
medium pacer, bowled Saurov Barua, then did the same to Alexis Coovre next ball. Max Brandy faced the hat-trick ball and to the
delight of his Gold team-mates Nabeel sent the stumps flying to record only the third hat-trick for the club in Metro Cup cricket.
He demolished the Green’s middle over finishing with 6-41 from 10 overs although it was nort enough to prevent his side going
down 178 to 216. .

The Randwick Petersham Museum
by John Stewart, Curator
The continually growing Randy Petes Museum received some phenomenal
donations and acquisitions. New honour boards were installed to celebrate
the club’s Australian and NSW Representatives and winners of the Ernie
Toshack, Bill Anderson and Alan Wright Awards. Thank you to Peter Johnston
for arranging the boards and to Jeremy Jastrzab for assistance in their
installation.
The club is appreciative of Mrs Robyn Letson, wife of the late John Letson and
their children Hayley and Adam for the donation of John’s playing gear and a
photograph which are now on proud display. Many thanks also to club great
Simon Katich (Australia Test vest) and Nathan Hauritz (Australian Test shirt)
for their generous donations which now sit proudly either side of Usman
Khawaja’s first Test shirt.
Between the 21st March and the 30th May 2014 an exhibition titled “Heroes
of the Ages – The Randwick Petersham Cricket Story” was held at Bowen
Library, Maroubra. A selection of museum items were on display at Bowen
Library, Maroubra. A
selection of museum
items were on display.
In conjunction with the
exhibition a special
gathering of former
club representatives,
family members of past players and cricket friends occurred on 11th April
to officially open the exhibition. Club Historian Lyall Gardner welcomed the
guests and provided a brief history of the Randy Petes and Alan Turner,
Patron officially opened the exhibition on behalf of Mike Whitney and the
club. Randwick Petersham is greatly appreciative of the support and
accommodation of Bowen Library, Maroubra and in particular the
assistance provided by the team of Marketing and Events Supervisor Eric
Connerton, Local Studies Librarian Georgina Keep and Maya Mausli.
Our Grounds
by David Bourke
Assessment of grounds is undertaken by Cricket NSW each season as a means of advising clubs how well their grounds are
performing as viewed by the umpires.
This season Coogee Oval rated 6th out of the 20 1st Grade grounds, down from the 4th position it achieved in season 2012-13.
Coogee Oval has been improving year-by-year since 2007-08 when it was placed a lowly 18th out of 20, and is now regarded as
one of the premier grounds in the competition.
Petersham Oval ranked an outstanding 10th out of the 40 lower grade grounds this season, a much improved ranking than the
38th position achieved in season 2012-13. Petersham Oval also made a return as a higher grade ground, hosting two 1st Grade
matches and four 2nd Grade matches. The return to higher grade cricket at Petersham is due to the hard work by Wayne
Mulherin who oversaw the discussions with Marrickville Council which enabled Green Options to prepare both the wickets and
outfield at Petersham Oval each week.
Of the lower grade grounds Kensington Oval was ranked 25th out of 40, an unfortunate drop from 4th last season, while Snape
Park was ranked 12th, improving from 26th position.
These impressive results were achieved due to the great work and dedication of the Green Options staff at each ground: Damian
Rosser, Darren Ings and Daniel Seminara at Coogee, Kensington and Snape, together with Ray Clarence and Patrick Lawrence at
Petersham Oval.
As a means of earning income, we have a number of outside clubs, organisations and associations who use our grounds
throughout the season. These include Eastern Suburbs Cricket Club (who used Snape Park and Kensington Oval as home grounds),
the South Eastern Junior Cricket Association, Marist College Pagewood, Marcellin College Randwick, Sydney Boys High School,
Edmund Rice College and Uni of NSW Cricket Club. Also this season Coogee Oval played host to “The Bashes Series”, a T20 match
between The Australian Fanatics and England’s Barmy Army as reported above. The Snape nets were available for players both
Tuesdays and Thursdays, while Marrickville Oval was used for a number of Metropolitan Cup matches and by Newington College.
The club continues to suffer from rubbish left by players in the change rooms from week-to-week, and we are indebted to Matt
Hilder who assisted with cleaning at Coogee, Petersham, Kensington and Snape throughout the season. Thanks also to Peter
Devlin and Wayne Mulherin who liaised extensively with the Green Options team, Randwick Council and Marrickville Council, and
to Tony Herman, Dane Thatcher and the team from Green Options for their outstanding work and support throughout the season.

Social
by Neale Anderson
This year we again had an enjoyable social calendar which helped bond us for our on-field exploits. The main club events were:
Ladies Day (Sponsored by Bendigo Bank Community Bank - Clovelly)
This was a day to give back to our long suffering wives, girlfriends and mothers. It’s a fantastic event held at Coogee Oval which
has become one of the cornerstones of our social calendar. A special thank you to Anyes McLean in organizing the great gift
packs that our lovely ladies went home with.
Christmas and New Year’s Drinks
The Newington Inn was the popular venue for this event this season. Great to see all the players mixing together for some cold
beverages and take in the exploits and achievements of the season to date and scheme for success for the run into the finals.
End of Season Drinks
Again at Coogee Oval this year we presented awards to the batsman with the most ducks, bowler with the most 6’s hit off them
in an over, easiest dropped catch, worst sledge, worst social /off the field effort (not everything that happens on circuit stays on
circuit) and worst administrative effort.
End of Year Dinner
This year the Maroubra Sports Club played host to the RPC Player's Awards Night. And what a night it was – we were
entertained by the Mike Whitney Band who had the dance floor full. It was a great night attended
by over 100 people. Congratulations to all the award winners and thank you to the staff at
Maroubra Sports Club for providing great food and a quality venue for the event. Thank you to our
Award Sponsors and Sponsors Flight Centre Coogee and Bendigo Bank who were able to attend and
present their awards. Thanks to Mike’s band members and to Anyes McLean for organising the
event.
The Sponsors Golf Day
The inaugural sponsors’ golf day was held at the end of February at the Eastlake Golf Club. The idea was to provide a forum by
which sponsors could get to know other sponsors and hopefully do some business together. Over 30 players participated – with
the winning group including guests of Bendigo Bank plus the Fin. Controller James Tyson and Head of Sponsorship Neale
Anderson. Sponsors included Sydney City Toyota, Flight Centre Coogee and Bendigo Bank. Thanks to Glenn Lynch for organising
the day.
The President’s Luncheon
Well how do you try and match last year’s event when we had cricket loyalty - West Indian cricket legends Joel Garner, Michael
Holding and Brian Lara along with Australian firebrand Jeff Thomson? Get Sir Ian Botham on the
podium a week before the start of an Ashes series. Ian held a 200 strong crowd enthralled at the annual
President’s luncheon at Dockside Darling Harbour on Friday 15 November 2013. Ian showed great
insight by predicting the Ashes outcome precisely – a 5-0 series whitewash (although he thought that
England would be doing the whitewashing not Australia!) and had the crowd highly amused with his
stories. The lunch was compered by the king of Master of Ceremonies, Randwick Petersham’s very own
Graeme Hughes.
Club President Mike Whitney introduced the event, thanking sponsors and telling a few stories of his
own against Ian Botham. Former Randy Pete’s England spinner Monty Panesar was also in attendance, describing his version of
the Ashes outcome.
The Randy Pete’s President’s Luncheon is one of the premium events on the cricket calendar. The event draws sponsors, club
members and business people who bring along their clients and suppliers. President Whitney thanked the event organisers,
especially Chris Sullivan and Anyes McLean. The auction was a great success through the efforts of TV presenter Tim Gilbert.
A Heavenly Game
Fred and George were very old cricketing mates. Fred was on his deathbed and George was there to see him off.
“Fred”, George said, “When you get to heaven can you let me know somehow, if they play cricket there?”
“It would be great to know that that’s the game they play in heaven”. Fred nodded and slipped away.
Days later, George woke one night to a shining vision of Fred at the end of the bed. Fred said, “I’ve been granted
one minute to come down and talk”. “George”, he said, “I have good news and bad news”.
“What’s the good news”, said George.
“The good news is … they DO play cricket in heaven. It’s the number one sport!”
“You beauty”, said George. “What’s the bad news Fred?”
“The bad news is you’re opening the bowling on Tuesday”.

Gallery of Champions
A reflection on the cricket careers of those many champions of the past who shaped Randwick Petersham into what it
is today.
Presented by Club Historian and Life Member Lyall Gardner OAM
Stuart Gardner
1941-94 (aged 52)
Born in Marrickville, educated at Dulwich Hill High and with big brother Ernie already a
seasoned campaigner with the Pete’s, Stuart Gardner was destined to play for PetershamMarrickville. And apart from those indicators, young Stuart was already a trophy holder
with the club having taken out the Marrickville Council Cup for General Proficiency as a
member of the 1955-56 coaching class under the astute direction of the legendary
administrator Dudley Seddon.
Stuart Anthony Gardner was born at Marrickville on 17 July 1941 and played his first game
for Petersham-Marrickville in the A W Green Shield team of 1956-57. It was a talented side
and included Russell Waugh, Colin Hollingsworth and Alan Staunton who went on to
become 1st Grade stars. The 15 years old left hand orthodox spin bowler and left hand bat
was also given a taste of Grade Cricket playing a game in 4th Grade.
Gardner had his first full Sydney Grade season in 4th Grade scoring 170 runs and taking
seven wickets in 1959-60. In 1961-62 he took nine wickets in 4th Grade at an average of 4.1
to win the bowling average and was promoted to 3rd Grade where he hit a top score of 76
in winning the batting average. Interestingly the winner of the batting award in 4th Grade
that season was 15 years old Brian Riley who would later be his 1st Grade captain.
Backwards and forwards in 3rd and 4th grades over the next few seasons it was not until 1966-67 that Stuart produced some of
the performances he had promised for some time. Playing the full season in 2nd Grade the side was beaten in the final by
Western Suburbs with Gardner a prime performer. He scored 315 runs with 66 not out his best while he took 36 wickets at just
17.90 runs apiece with a return of four for 11 from seven overs against Randwick his best bowling. It was also a season where
one of the great legacies of Stuart Gardner began. During the course of the summer he brought to the games his fiancée Robin
who he had met at Sydney County Council where he worked as a paymaster. Robin did the scoring and also helped Pat Hughes
and Helen Milford serve the afternoon tea at Petersham Oval which the three of them would continue to do for the next 40
years. And while Helen and Pat retired in the mid-2000’s Robin continues to serve the club in that same capacity today (2014).
By 1969-70 Stuart was captain of the Second XI. He also made his 1st Grade debut that season but played only a handful of
games then and over the following three seasons. In 1973-74 season he played the full season in 1st Grade taking 29 wickets at
the excellent average of 14.30 to be a prime factor in the side making the semi-finals. His stats included a 5-26 return to earn the
classification as “the surprise packet of the season” by skipper Brian Riley who went on to comment that “Stuey was a very tight
bowler who could always pick up a quick wicket when required”. Kevin Cantwell, who took over as skipper of 2nd Grade
commented in the annual report “This left hander, who could be called upon to bowl at any stage of an innings was a captain’s
dream. I don’t think that there has ever been a greater club man. 1st Grade was a promotion he so rightly deserved”.
The following season Gardner had the disappointment of breaking a wrist which kept him out for some months. However,
displaying all the determination which had featured in his cricket, he made his way back in time to play a major part in the
team’s win in the Grand Final when he took 4-23 off 12 overs to help knock Manly over for 114 before “Pete’s” rattled up 147
for the victory. The following summer he was given the tag “Mr Consistency” having taken another bagful of 35 wickets at 16.70
which won him the team bowling average.
In 1978-79 Stuart assumed the captaincy of the 1st Grade side in the absence of Graeme Hughes who was able to play only a
few games. And while he announced his retirement at the end of that season, it was short-lived as he was coaxed to line-up
again the following summer. Ironically it was that season he bowled the most overs in his career rolling down 242 in taking 19
1st Grade wickets at 23.47 each. He topped that effort by bowling 247 overs the next season 1980-81 to take 27 at 17.48 and
win yet another club bowling average award. In the match against Central Cumberland he took four for none in his first six overs
before finishing with 4-17 off 13 overs.
78
While they were wonderful figures, especially for a 39 year old, Stuart played a couple of games in 1st and 4th grades the
following summer before hanging up his boots for good. His did so with the marvellous record of 510 wickets and 3,294 runs in
all grades and levels for Petersham-Marrickville including 226 wickets and 452 runs in 1st Grade. His outstanding average of
18.54 for each of his 510 club wickets emphasised his ability. Gardner had also served on the club committee for 11 years.
In July 1992 Stuart was diagnosed with cancer and just 18 months later died on 16 January 1994 aged 52. In the months
following his passing, Stuart’s contribution to the club was acknowledged by the immediate establishment of the Stuart Gardner
Clubman of the Season Award. Fittingly the award was shared in its first year in 1994 by Noel Hughes and John Pearson, two
outstanding clubmen in their own right. The award continues under the banner of Randwick Petersham Cricket and in 2005-06
it was an emotional moment for all concerned as the recipient was the person Stuey had introduced to the club—his wife Robin.
Frank Merchant
1895-1974 (aged 79)
Frank Merchant was an experienced Grade cricketer when he joined Randwick in 1920-21
having previously played with Waverley, Balmain and Petersham. It was the season before
Randwick was admitted to 1st Grade and Frank took both the batting and bowling honours
with 392 runs and 22 wickets in the club’s senior team which played in the 2nd Grade
competition.
Merchant was again the outstanding all-rounder when Randwick played its initial 1st Grade
season in 1921-22. He scored 400 at 35.38 and took 34 wickets at 20.55.
While Frank had played with other clubs, Randwick quickly became his first love and his
dedication and loyalty throughout the remainder of his life was considered legendary in the
minds of those who knew him. Many also felt that no-one had a greater love of the game of
cricket than Frank Merchant. He was a man who lived up to ideals of fairness in business
and sport while never taking an unfair advantage. He was always willing to provide advice to
those who asked for it while abhorring the careless attitude of some cricketers to the game.
Frank Merchant was a hard-hitting batsman and fast medium swing bowler who scored 6,058 runs and took 621 wickets during
his career with Randwick. He rates 14th highest run-getter and 7th greatest wicket-taker in the club’s 101 years history.
In 1923-24 Frank took 7-35 against Central Cumberland at the Sydney Cricket Ground to turn certain defeat into a meritorious
victory while that same season he also had returns of 7-72 v Western Suburbs and 8-100 v Petersham. In 1926-27 he was the
leading bowler in 1st Grade with 39 wickets. By 1930-31 Frank was in 2nd Grade and his 33 wickets at 18 was a major force
behind the team’s premiership win.
Despite his advancing years and greying hair, over the following years Frank was clearly the dominant lower-grade all-rounder
playing 2nd Grade with the occasional 3rd Grade game. He won the batting aggregate or average three times and the bowling
eight times. His 51 wickets in 2nd Grade in 1932-33 was his best seasonal return. When he took out the bowling honours at age
45 in the WWII season of 1940-41 with 19 wickets at 11.28 the annual report reported that “it was remarkable that Frank
Merchant, to whom the passing years were but yesterdays, season after season should have bowled with little if any, diminution
of ability and tirelessness”.
Frank served the club for many years as a selector and committeeman. He was captain of the First XI as well as the lower grades
where he played in the latter part of his career. In recognition of his outstanding contribution to the club over a period of 26
years, Frank was elected a Life Member of Randwick in 1946. He was just the fifth member to have such honour bestowed upon
him.
In a tribute to Frank in the club’s annual report of 1973-74 following his passing, fellow Life Member Wally Byrne said “The
Randwick District Cricket Club never had a member whose integrity and loyalty exceeded his and those of us who knew him will
always cherish the memory of a man we were privileged to call a friend and companion”.

Wayne Mulherin
Wayne Mulherin was one of the finest spin bowlers in the 50 years history of the PetershamMarrickville Cricket Club. And while he recorded many notable achievements on the cricket
field it was his role as President, leading his club to amalgamate with Randwick in 2001 which
may well have been his greatest legacy. It was a decision which took the Grade Cricket
community by storm while preserving the history and traditions of two of Sydney’s most
famous clubs albeit in a combined form. In the years which followed, the merged entity
Randwick Petersham became one of the most competitive and respected Grade clubs in the
Sydney Cricket Association with Mulherin a major decision-maker on its management
committee for 7 years.
A right-arm off-spinner who gave the ball plenty of flight and extracted considerable turn from
the pitch, Wayne joined Petersham-Marrickville in 1982-83 as an established 1st grader having
taken 132 wickets for Balmain (in a team which included future English captain Mike Gatting)
over the previous 6 seasons. The switch proved highly successful with Mulherin taking 64
wickets for the season at an average of 17.18 which was within earshot of Johnny Martin’s
club record of 68 wickets in 1968-69. His aggregate, which included 5 wicket “bags” on 6 occasions, was also the best in the
Sydney 1st Grade Cricket competition and he was just pipped in the Sydney Morning Herald Player of the Season Award. His
debut match for his new club was also one of his most memorable with a haul of 14 wickets against Gordon at Marrickville Oval
while he hit the first ball he faced for 6!
His superb performance was not missed by State selectors and in 1983-84 he won selection in the NSW Sheffield Shield team
after first being named in the State Squad 7 years earlier. The match was at the Sydney Cricket Ground against Queensland
which included a number of Australian greats such as Greg Chappell, Allan Border, Greg Ritchie and Jeff Thomson. While he
bowled tidily in his 17 overs he missed out taking a wicket. Unfortunately that was the only time Mulherin was called into the
side although good judges felt he was entitled to be given a further opportunity. Also in that NSW team was Mike Whitney who
Wayne was subsequently heavily involved with in the creation of the merged Randwick Petersham club and who became its first
President.
Over the following two seasons Wayne was lost to Sydney Grade Cricket when his career in general management took him
interstate. Cricket continued to be a priority however, and he played in Perth for Wanneroo Cricket Club and in Hobart for Sandy
Bay Cricket Club returning to “the Petes” late in 1985-86 to play 5 games which included a 6-60 return. He continued to be a
dominant force in Sydney Grade Cricket over the following seasons and in 1990-91 proved the adage that spin bowlers mature
with age when he took 43 wickets at 20.80 from a mammoth 342 overs to take the club bowling honours.
In 1991-92 the name Wayne Mulherin was again in the Sydney Cricket Association record books when he topped the 1st Grade
bowling aggregate with 48 wickets at the impressive average of 17.56. He took 5 wickets in an innings three times with his top
performance of 8-66 at Manly Oval marginally behind his best figures of 8-54 recorded against Gordon in his first game with the
club in 1983-84. He celebrated his outstanding season with marriage to Anne before being relocated to the USA in his job which
took him away from cricket for another season.
Returning to the fold in 1993-94 he showed that his absence from the cricket field had not dented his enthusiasm nor curtailed
his ability as his marathon effort of 34 overs to take 5-134 against North Sydney indicates. He ended that summer with 38
wickets including a 6-47 haul which saw him awarded the club’s prestigious high performance John Martin Memorial Award. But
it was not all good news for “Mully” that season as he suffered the indignity of having each delivery in an over hit for six when
Randwick’s Marty Hayward took to him at Petersham Oval to bring up a rare double-century. It was the first time such a feat had
been recorded in the history of Sydney Grade Cricket.
Season 1994-95 was Mulherin’s last in 1st Grade and he went out in style sending down 310 overs to again head the bowling
with 42 wickets. His invaluable experience was not lost to the club however, and he graciously dropped to 3rd Grade where he
played for the next two seasons taking 38 and 40 wickets respectively to do what he had done most of his cricketing life…..head
the bowling figures. In his 1st Grade days he took out the bowling aggregate on 6 occasions. When he hung up his playing boots
at the end of 1996-97 at age 40 he had taken 450 wickets for Petersham-Marrickville including 372 in 1st Grade. With the
addition of his Balmain wickets his 17 years 1st Grade career returned a total of 504 wickets to place him equal 47th with the
80
legendary Petersham all-rounder Tommy Andrews on the list of the all-time greatest Sydney Grade wicket-takers. He took five
wickets in an innings 31 times with 10 in a match twice.
With pressure building against Petersham-Marrickville to remain a 1st Grade club, Wayne Mulherin was drafted into the role of
President and head-up a select group to respond to the many challenges. And while he completed a successful celebration of
the club’s Centenary Year and was at the helm when 17 long-term volunteers were recognised with the Australian Sports Medal
in 2000, he will long be remembered as the driving force behind the birth of Randwick Petersham which has not only proved
beneficial for all those associated with the two clubs involved but for the game itself in the time honoured Sydney Grade Cricket
competition. Fittingly he was awarded Life Membership of Petersham-Marrickville at its final meeting in July 2001. He continued
to work for the club being part of the new Management Committee and its Grounds Committee until the end of 2008-09.
Walter Dowd DCM
1888-1966 (aged 78)
Walter (Wally) Dowd had an interesting initiation when he joined Randwick from the old
Paddington District Cricket Club in 1913-14. While it was no surprise the 25 year old was
immediately named in the club’s 1st XI which played in the NSW Cricket Association’s
2nd Grade competition, it was a surprise to many that he was immediately installed as
Hon. Secretary. It was soon clear that both decisions were well based as Wally took 75
wickets at 13.46 with his leg-breaks in his first season while his secretarial performance
was the launching pad for one of the finest administrative careers in the history of the
Randwick club. Wally’s performances with the ball that season included 8 for 56 against
Balmain while against Central Cumberland he snared 5 for 17 in the first innings and 7
for 19 in the second to give him the amazing match figures of 12 for 36.
In his second season Dowd repeated the effort when he took 62 wickets while he again
demolished Central Cumberland with match figures of 11 for 56. The following 1915-16
season he was forced to resign as Hon. Secretary before leaving the country on active
service. Four years later Wally Dowd was back bowling his leg-breaks having been awarded the Distinguished Conduct Medal
(DCM) for conspicuous bravery on the field of battle while a member of the AIF in France during World War 1.
Just prior to the start of the 1921-22 season which was when Randwick was first admitted to 1st Grade, the club treasurer
Sydney Brown who had served the club in such role for 18 years passed away. Wally Dowd was immediately elected to the post,
continuing to handle the club finances for the next 27 years. Wally was also a member of the first Randwick team when it
debuted in the 1st Grade competition on 1 October 1921 at Randwick Oval. He scored seven runs and took 4 for 95 opening the
bowling in Randwick’s 69 runs win over Manly.
Over the following 17 seasons Wally Dowd continued to be one of the club’s most consistent wicket-takers in both 1st and 2nd
grades. He captained the 2nd Grade team a number of times and as the years rolled on was content to slip down the grades to
impart his experience on the promising juniors in the club. At the end of the 1938-39 season in which he captained the club’s
Colts team in the NSWCA competition, he retired as a player. He was 51 years of age and his 22 years of spinning his leg-breaks
for Randwick had returned a total of 842 wickets in all grades.
Wally was not lost to the game however, and until the end of 1947-48 took on the added responsibility of managing the club’s A
W Green Shield team when Bill Beath was appointed club coach and manager. With other distinguished Randwick cricketers
such as Alex Marks and Col Lutton he continued to spend his Saturday mornings in the coaching nets at Coogee Oval while
maintaining his role as club Treasurer. He also became a club delegate to the NSW Cricket Association for six years between
1942 and 1948. However, in 1948 he suffered a severe illness which caused him to retire from the position of Treasurer he had
held since 1921-22 along with all other involvement he had with the club. The annual report of 1948-49 includes the following
comment: “In his quiet manner Wally Dowd faithfully carried out his trust with regard to your finances and it is beyond doubt
that no better Treasurer could have held office”.
Appointed a Life Member of the club in 1927 Wally Dowd was one of the real diehards of Randwick cricket. His contribution over
a period of 35 years was a wonderful example of dedication and commitment. He fully deserved his retirement which he
enjoyed during the period up to his death in 1966 at age 78.

Helen Gladys Jean MILFORD—died 22 September 2013 aged 91 years
Helen Milford was an outstanding contributor to the game of cricket and to the PetershamMarrickville and Randwick Petersham cricket clubs. A dedicated worker with a generous
nature and friendly disposition she was the ultimate volunteer.
As a young girl Helen spent her summer Saturdays in the 1940s with her father watching the
Marrickville cricket team play at Marrickville Oval. One day in 1946 Helen served afternoon
tea to the players and did so each cricket day for the following 60 years. When Marrickville
merged with Petersham in 1951 Helen joined forces with Patricia Hughes in the canteen at
Petersham Oval while Robin Gardner linked up with them both in 1966. They formed a
formidable hospitality team the likes of which has rarely been found in Sydney Grade Cricket.
In 1995 Helen was awarded life membership of Petersham-Marrickville DCC and
subsequently became Randwick Petersham life member no. 23 following the merger with
Randwick in 2001. In 2000 she was honoured by the Governor-General awarding her the Australian Sports Medal. In
2005 Helen was presented with Randwick Petersham’s most coveted award, The Ernie Toshack Memorial Award for
outstanding service to the club and to cricket while in 2010 she was awarded Cricket Australia’s prestigious 50 Years of
Service to Cricket Medal. Helen was forced to retire from her beloved hospitality role due to ill health in 2005.
It had often been said that there would hardly be a person who went to the cricket at Petersham Oval in the 54 years
between 1951 and 2005 who was not served a cup of tea by Helen Milford. She carried the well-earned title of “cricket
tea lady” with great pride and affection.
On 22 September 2013, Helen Gladys Jean Milford, a jewel in the crown of Randwick Petersham Cricket peacefully
passed away at Hurstville aged 91 years.
Randwick Petersham Cricket salutes an outstanding life member and worker for the club and for the wonderful game of

The Legends 2013-14
The Randwick Petersham Cricket Legends Society
For the first time we have brought up a membership “ton”! This year we totalled 110 members, the most at any time since we began under the
Randwick Petersham banner in 2001. A fantastic outcome with 16 new members and another four “returning” members. We added three Honorary
Members in Sir Wesley Hall who played with Randwick in 1965, Harry Lenertz who at 93 years of age is the sole survivor of Marrickville’s only 1st
Grade premiership team of 1943-44 while Gordon Stone, who played for Randwick in the 1930’s is our oldest surviving 1st Grade cricketer having
celebrated his 100th birthday in April 2014.
Our new members are: David Chardon, Rodney Davison, Graham Doig, Keith Edwards, Glenn Farquharson, Greg Hartshorne, Bryan Hazell, Fabian
Heaton, Denis Hinds, Glenn Lynch, Matt Parker, Rob Smith, Paul Stepto, Ken White, James Wynn and Bruce Young. We also had four former
members re-join: Jim Burgess, Ross Emerson, Ian Davis and Bruce Ramsay. Welcome everyone! Great to have you aboard and we hope you enjoy
your membership. As “Legends” we have one of the best, if not the best, formal supporter groups in Sydney Grade Cricket with membership now
extending as far afield as Melbourne, Perth, various parts of Queensland, New Zealand, West Indies and the United States of America.
The only “downer” has of course been the
passing of some real Legends in John Letson, Len
Cartwright, Bill Knowles and Helen Milford last
year while this year we lost former Randwick
coach Barry Davison. And showing the true
Legends spirit we had quite a turn-up last
September when John Letson’s ashes were
scattered by his Cairn’s family over Coogee Oval.
The numbers were also out in force when a
tribute to our “tea lady extraordinaire” Helen
Milford was made on ‘Legends Day” at
Petersham Oval in December 2013. It was good
to see so many Legends on hand displaying their
new shirts. We were also shattered at the injury
received by Paul Davison and wish him a speedy
recovery.
Once again the Society’s main function and fundraiser this season was the “Phil Tresidder Memorial Cup” Golf Day at Beverley Park Golf Course on
18 October 2013. Proceeds for the day were aimed at the Phil Tresidder Memorial Scholarship with an excellent profit of $2,373.50. It is pleasing to
report that the value of the Scholarship has climbed to almost $41,000 at the end of the cricket financial year on 30 April 2013. It was also good to
see 25 “Legends” swinging a golf club and enjoying the company throughout the day.
In terms of the Society's finances, this year we made a healthy profit of $2,774.83. We had little spending this year with BBQ costs of Legends Day
and the framed photo tributes to our Petersham Oval tea ladies, including the late Helen Milford, totalling a bit over $320. We also purchased a
Legends flag and contributed to some of the museum’s outgoings. Our largest cost was the $1,633.50 for 55 new Legends shirts which proved very
popular with 41 being sold very quickly. Our total expenditure was $2,473.42 while our income was $5,248.25 including interest of $271.25, annual
membership subscriptions of $3,375 and shirt sales of $1,552. A new member from Western Australia Ken White also made a generous donation of
$50. At 30 April 2014 the net bank balance of Randwick Petersham Cricket Legends Society was a healthy $13,104.17 with total assets of $13,594.97.
The committee comprised Lyall Gardner (Chairman), John Pearson, Shane Redenbach, Bill Anderson, Ray Stafford and Ross Davies.

Phil Tresidder Memorial Golf Day
A Randwick Petersham Cricket Legends event
Under blue skies interrupted only by the smoke haze of Sydney bushfires the day before, 65 eager contenders took to the
fairways of Beverley Park Golf Course on Friday 18 October 2013 in quest of the Phil Tresidder Memorial Cup. And the keenness
to take the title was obvious with Ross Davies coming up from Merimbula to defend the Cup his team won last year; Peter
Bayley making the trip from Coffs Harbour, John Connell bringing a group to the tournament for the first time, the Ledwidge
brothers Donn and Paul applying a full dose of “twins telepathy” while Brett Hunter added two PGA pros to his team. A
noteable absentee was John Benaud who was forced to remain in his Blue Mountains retreat as bushfire threatened nearby.
But the day was not all about the golf. We were treated to a hilarious comedy act after lunch by popular Sydney funny-man and
golf tragic Paul Martell. A friend of the late Phil Tresidder, Paul was keen to play in Phil’s memorial tournament and shared the
18 holes with Mike Whitney who had to leave for another engagement just as Paul arrived from an early morning Brisbane
flight. Many thanks Paul!
In terms of winning the Cup a team really has to run hot. Brett Hunter’s
four hit 13 under par off the stick (57) with 11 birdies and an eagle but
the best they could do after handicaps was to finish 10th! The winners
this year with a net 50.125 were Chris Sullivan (handicap 19); Col
Booth (18) Bronco Djura (5) and Wayne Mulherin (21) who was a
winner in 2009-10. And like Brett’s team they also had 11 birdies and
an eagle for 13 under par! They also managed to birdie every hole on
the back nine to come home in 25!! Even Tiger Woods couldn’t do
that! Cup holder Ross Davies took great delight in formally handing
over the trophy to Chris Sullivan and Wayne Mulherin as this
photograph indicates.
Second place went to Brandon McCarthy (22), Ryan Crow (11), Jack Felicetti (23) and Bob Bissett (18) who improved on last
year’s 8th and hit nine birdies in their net 51.75 while the “reliables” David Townsend (18), Richard Chee Quee (18), David
Skuthorpe (9) and new player Ian Camejo (18) finished in third spot with a net 52.125 comprising eight birdies and an eagle.
The “Bradman “Award for last place went to the first starters John Connell (18), Steve Graham (13), Steve Commins (18) and
Ian Dunstan (18) who shot even par. John showed he is determined to improve his game for next year however, by being the
successful bidder for him and a friend to join Richard Chee Quee and Kerry Trollope for a round of golf and lunch at Australia’s
championship golf course The Australian. Kerry Trollope was an under 16 cricketer with Randwick who Phil Tresidder took
under his wing almost 60 years ago and his donation of this prize was a fitting contribution to a day honouring Phil’s memory.
Closest to the Pin prizes went to Drew Cremin (3rd hole), Bronco Djura (10th) and Alan Turner (13th) the former Randwick
President who knocked off Wayne Mulherin the former Petersham-Marrickville President. The 17th hole Long Drive was won by
Peter Bayley although Ron Crippin (who has a hole-in-one at Bonville International to his credit) claims he was unlucky not to
scoot one past Peter’s as his ball hit a worm or something.
We are grateful for the many donors of prizes including Mark Sundin of Expedition Kayaks, Brett Hunter, Christine and Chris
Hall, Tracy Tresidder and Lorien Scott of Bonnie Doon GC. Nick Warren of golfclubs.com.au donated a custom built golf driver
which was a feature of the raffle. Many thanks to Chris Sullivan and Matt Hilder for their help with the day’s organisation.

The Phil Tresidder Memorial Scholarship
Phil Tresidder was a wonderful supporter of cricket and the Randwick and Randwick Petersham clubs. During his lifetime he was
probably the best known sports writer in the country through his association with the Daily Telegraph. As President of Randwick
he was committed to the merger with Petersham-Marrickville in 2001 and it was a fitting tribute to his dedication to that cause
that he was installed Joint Patron with Noel Hughes following the birth of Randwick Petersham. Sadly, he passed away in late
2003 aged 75.
Phil had a good eye for cricketing talent and on many occasions personally funded many young cricketers on overseas trips to
assist them in the development of their game. He was of the view that the experience gained from playing in different and
varying conditions was invaluable in the enhancement of young skills in challenging situations and environments. It was in this
knowledge that Phil’s family included in his funeral notice in the Sydney press a request that in lieu of flowers a contribution be
made towards a fund to be established to assist young club cricketers with their costs in playing overseas.
With such contributions and certain generous donations from the Tresidder family coupled with the proceeds of the Phil
Tresidder Memorial Golf Day over the past 11 years, the Phil Tresidder Memorial Scholarship began operation two seasons ago.
Nick Charlwood and Shaun Eaton two of the most promising players in the club were the recipients of a scholarship in 2012 and
2013 respectively.
This year we have two scholarship winners. Brandon McLean our leg-spinning all-rounder who has played 1st Grade and
Anthony Sams our 1st Grade wicketkeeper who holds the record for the most dismissals. Brandon is in Surrey playing for
Cranleigh Cricket Club while Anthony has gone to Staffordshire to play for Cannock Cricket Club.
Randwick Petersham Cricket
Foundation
The Randwick Petersham Cricket Foundation was established on 15 April 2003 following the receipt of a generous legacy of
$200,000 left to the club by the late Wally South, a former player and patron of the old Randwick Cricket Club. To ensure this
legacy would secure Randwick Petersham’s financial future and ongoing viability, the then Management Committee decided to
transfer it to a separate fund controlled by an independent trustee set up to manage the donation along with any other monies
which may be contributed to the fund from time to time.
Pursuant to that objective, the Foundation was created under the management of a trustee company controlled by a number of
directors. The current directors are Peter Wright (Chairman), club President Mike Whitney and long established “legends” of the
club Alan Turner, John Pearson, Lyall Gardner and Wayne Mulherin. Lyall Gardner also acts as the trustee secretary.
Responsibility for investing the funds of the Foundation rests with the trustee company directors who also have absolute
discretion in determining the extent of any payment. The purpose of the trust is expressed in the Trust Deed as being to hold
the capital and income in perpetuity for the promotion and encouragement of the game of cricket at the Randwick Petersham
Cricket Club.
Since the establishment of the Foundation the capital has grown to more than $245,000. All such capital is held on interest
bearing bank deposit. The capital and any accrued interest remains protected by the Australian Government’s bank guarantee.
Over the 11 years life of the Foundation, the trustees have exercised their discretion in the distribution of income on a number
of separate occasions and have paid a total of $128,445.45 to Randwick Petersham Cricket. This figure includes $10,200 this
financial year which is a little less than in recent times due to the drop in interest rates and accordingly, in the income of the
Foundation.
The Randwick Petersham Cricket Foundation is dedicated to the continuation of the club as a major force in Sydney Grade
Cricket. While we are extremely grateful to Wally South for his foresight, we are mindful of the need to ensure the capital of the
Foundation grows as the years roll by. We therefore welcome any donations from the many friends of Randwick Petersham
Cricket.

Report for 2013-14 from David Scribner, President
The South Eastern Junior Cricket Association (SEJCA) continues to provide quality cricket for young boys and girls in the
Southern and Eastern Suburbs of Sydney.
The season just completed included a number of highlights:
• The Association ran 10 representative sides from the under 10s through to the under 16s
• The Foster Shield side (under 10’s) won the competition not losing a game, the Moore Shield (under 14’s) were finalists
and the Gee (under 13) and Cawsey (under 12) shields were quarter finalists
• Overall the SEJCA finished 4th in the Club Championship up from 10th in the previous year. 20 Associations compete in
the NSW District Cricket Association (NSWDCA).
• Two of our representative sides competed at Lismore and Newcastle carnivals as well as five sides involved with the
Kookaburra Cup in Canberra, with the under 12s winning the carnival
• SEJCA expanded the final series so sides that finished in places five to eight could also have a taste of finals cricket. This
competition was run as a Twenty20 gala day with the winner collecting the ‘plate’ for that age group.
• We continue to work with Cricket NSW and NSWDCA to encourage more youth to play the great game of cricket, by
providing a variety of formats for all cricketers and more representative matches for our elite players.
• Randwick Juniors again won the Phil O’Sullivan Shield for the Club Championship.
• The Randwick Junior Renegades Cadres won our premier under 16 competition.
• We continue to be encouraged by the number of young kids playing Milo cricket under the stewardship of three different
clubs. Our focus is to maintain these numbers through the years into competitive cricket.
In an expansion of the relationship between the SEJCA and RPCC, the club is coaching the Watson and Weblin shields for the
coming season. We look forward to this partnership and continuing to work with the club in providing a pathway for our young
cricketers, including the use of Snape, Kensington and Coogee Ovals and the use of Snape nets.
Junior Development
by David Townsend, Junior Development Manager
The Randwick Petersham Cricket Club this season put together a program that offered coaching assistance to clubs in both the
South Eastern Junior Cricket Association and Canterbury Wests Junior Cricket Association, along with both public and private
schools within the geographical boundaries of the club.
The focus of the program involved tailoring a program to the needs of the individual school or club. Before the start of each
season clubs and selected schools were asked about their needs with regard to coaching. They were offered the chance of
receiving coaching focussed on a basic net session, specialist batting or bowling sessions, ideas on how to run a centre wicket
practise or concentrated fielding sessions. A four-week program was offered with additional sessions added as required.
The sessions were provided for FREE as a part of the Randwick Petersham philosophy of trying to assist in the development of
junior cricket in the area.
Before each season the club worked closely with Cricket NSW to target schools and clubs within the area, in addition to
continuing to provide programs to teams that we had worked with previously.
Junior clubs that Randwick Petersham worked with during the 2013-14 season included South Sydney-Mt Carmel, Randwick
Juniors, Sydney Coastal, Earlwood Wanderers and Summer Hill. Schools included Cranbrook School, Newington College, Coogee
Public School and Alexandria Public School.
We were lucky enough to be able to utilise some outstanding coaching personnel during the season.
Current Randwick First Grade batsman Nick Stapleton donated a great deal of time to work with a number of groups, including
setting up a link with Newington College, Stanmore where we ran both team sessions and specialist sessions before school.
Club Assistant Coach David Skuthorpe was another to work with both schools and clubs, while Nick Saady ran a series of sessions
with the Randwick Junior Club after Christmas. Nick spent six weeks at the back end of the season coaching one of RJC’s under
13 teams after having been asked for only four weeks. Feedback indicated he did a superb job and the boys were thrilled with
his work and commitment.
We encourage all local clubs and schools to take advantage of this offer of free coaching sessions next year. We would love to
assist you with setting up a cricket program or assisting with one of your teams.
I look forward to working with you next season.

Coaching
By Andrew Millican, Assistant Coach
The coaching set up was altered this year to try and provide players from all grades with greater access to coaching assistance.
Andrew Millican and Peter Devlin took on the role of 1’s and 2’s, David Skuthorpe and Darren Smith looked after 3’s and 4’s
while Denis Hinds worked with 5’s and Metro Cup. Feedback from the players and coaches indicated that the system was a
successful innovation and allowed more players access to assistance and feedback on the respective games.
Pre-season began indoor at the Sydney Cricket Ground nets with the Academy/PG squads in early June, joined by 1st and 2nd
grades at the end of July. All players displayed a strong commitment to the season ahead and worked hard on fitness and
conditioning as well as skills. The Saturday sessions began in August and a range of trial games in September had us ready to
face ND’s in round 1.
Training was well attended all pre-season and competition for spots in all grades was evident in the eagerness shown
throughout the sessions. The early part of the season ran smoothly with good attendance and players using a variety of
resources to assist in improving their games.
As we progressed towards Christmas we found ourselves vying for top spot in the Club Championship with Sydney University. All
grades were contributing to the cause with 1st Grade leading the way. Unfortunately, whether it was complacency or the
oncoming holiday season the intensity and attendance at training both dropped and we struggled to maintain the high level of
performance we had been achieving. This led to a restructure of training by the coaching staff to incorporate compulsory
sessions for all grades which included a fielding component as well.
Post-Christmas saw 1st Grade and 5th Grade continue on their way but the other grades started to drop off the pace. It was
patently clear that the two sides with the best attendance at training were achieving the best results and the players who were
the most consistent trainers were achieving the best results as well.
I must take the opportunity to acknowledge “Sempy” and the boys in 1st Grade who trained superbly all season. Their
commitment, enthusiasm and leadership was evident every session and their excellent season and success in the T20
competition was a result of their hard work and thorough preparation. I have no doubt, that had all teams followed their
example, we would not have dropped off the Club Championship pace and finished sixth.
Our Green Shield and Poidevin Gray sides both performed credibly and were ably coached by Ed Otto, Darren Smith, Rob Huxley
and Peter Devlin respectively. PG’s just missed the finals but our Green Shield side played some awesome cricket to reach the
Quarter Finals before being knocked out by a strong St George side.
Thanks must go to both the Director of Cricket Operations Bill Anderson and Coaching Co-ordinator Alan Wright who both
constantly looked at ways of tweaking and adjusting training sessions to ensure as many players as possible had the opportunity
to achieve improvement and success in their games.
Overall, a solid season for the Club and one that indicated the level of talent and ability that we possess but also that hard work
and commitment are the keys to success and improvement. Thanks to everyone especially “Devo” and “Skewey” for their
support throughout and the season and we can look forward to more success in 2014-15.
Finally, I would like to take the opportunity to sincerely thank the wonderful group of volunteers who score, manage, operate
canteens, sweep and mark pitches and support this great club. Without them, the club would be nowhere near the professional
and enjoyable organisation it is at present. Well done to you all.

The brutal eagle by Drew Cremin at the Par 5 Hole of Torture at Kooindah – Driver / 5 Iron to three feet one putt –
amazing!!
• Runner up Chris “Fous” Sullivan (on a count-back) finished strongly with 96 points
• JC again the tour as the “GER” in emphatic style with frequent outbursts of opera

much JC.
• A big thank to tour organisers and volunteers

Report from the Financial Controller
The 2013-14 season saw the club continue to build on the hard work of last year. With continued
focus on marketing and sponsorship activities to raise funds, the club committed more resources to
coaching and operations in order to further grow our young talent.
We continued to experience growth in ground maintenance costs, however this was partly due to a
conscious decision to continue our work towards making Petersham Oval a 1st Grade ground again.
Thanks to Wayne Mulherin’s continued lobbying we were able to secure financial assistance from
Marrickville Council. This allowed us to employ contractors to work not only on the Petersham
square but also the outfield and the outcome was evident in the improved ground ratings and a few
substantial scores during the course of the season.
The club’s functions continued to improve this year and the President’s Lunch was again a record
event. Our return from these events is important to the club’s ongoing activities and the social subcommittee is doing a great job to make these come to life.
Due to the lower interest rate environment, the amount available from the Foundation was lower
than previous years, and this looks like continuing into at least the next year. The club continues to
be cautiously optimistic about the coming year and will keep working to grow a contingency fund to
guard against the next downturn. In the meantime, achieving a second successive surplus is an
excellent outcome for the club, and all of the committee and sub-committee members should be
proud of this result.
