CRICKETERS AT WAR
World War I Roll of Honour
Three of the founding clubs of Randwick Petersham Cricket, namely Petersham, Randwick
and Marrickville were represented in World War I by a collective total of 89 members who
served with pride, honour and dedication. Most of them returned safely, some wounded,
some scarred. Some were the bravest of the brave and received the appropriate honours
and awards. Sadly, some paid the supreme sacrifice.
One hundred years on, in a year commemorating Anzac Day, we are grateful for their
contribution and thankful that in their memory we can enjoy the great game of cricket as part of a freedom they fought
so hard to protect and preserve. Their names will remain in the annals of this club as heroes irrespective of the extent
of their involvement and participation in the world’s deadliest conflict. A Roll of Honour for each club follows. First or
full names have been included where known.
PETERSHAM est. 1899
Petersham District Cricket Club had the honour of having 54 of its members and
former members serve in World War I. Unfortunately, four of them made the
ultimate sacrifice being killed on active service while three others died of wounds
and another through sickness.
The ravages of war were never more evident than the emotional turmoil and
heartbreak experienced by William Seabrook who played with Petersham in 2nd and
3rd Grade in 1914-15. His three sons George (aged 25), Theo (24) and William Keith
(21) (all pictured) were killed on 20 September 1917 fighting together with the 17th
Battalion in a fierce battle against the Germans at Ypres, Belgium. Theo Seabrook
played with his father in 3rd Grade in 1914-15 scoring 140 runs with 30 his best.
Cecil Cleary (aged 24) a 3rd Grade player between 1911 and 1914 was also killed on
20 September 1917 at Polygon Wood, Belgium, part of the Third Battle of Ypres. He
was wounded three times before losing his life. His brother played with the
Petersham 2nd Grade team.
Cecil Hubert Perrott (27) died in Turkey on 22 August 1915. He played with the
Petersham “IV Team” in 1914-15.
Eric Neal Clamp Leggo (24), a medical student, died in France on 20 October 1918.
He played for four seasons making 1st Grade in 1915-16 after taking 17 wickets at
9.17 to win the bowling average in 2nd Grade.
Edward Harold Fitzgerald, who scored 106 not out in the Petersham IV team in 1913-14 after playing in 2nd and 3rd Grade died
in France of wounds received in battle as did prisoner of war Harold Albon Barry, a 28 years old tailor who set a 3rd Grade record
in 1911-12 with a score of 235. Mr F Wilson, a 3rd grader in 1914-15 died of wounds received while J Smith, who played in the
Petersham 1st Grade team of 1915-16 after topping the 2nd Grade averages, died of illness while on active service.
Johnny Morris Taylor was a 21 year old who played with Petersham in 1915-16 scoring a record 1st Grade aggregate of 857 for
the season. He served as an artillery gunner in WW1 and when he returned he played with Gordon before going on to play 20
Tests for Australia between 1920 and 1926.

RANDWICK est.1900
Randwick District Cricket Club was honoured with 24 of its members and former members serving in World War I. Fortunately,
none were killed although four of them were wounded while on active service.
Walter Ambrose Dowd (30) who was a Randwick Hon. Secretary and the club’s most successful leg-spin bowler was one of the
wounded. However, he received a Distinguished Conduct Medal (second in prestige to the Victoria Cross) in 1918 for “brilliant
leadership and disregard of personal danger” while leading his platoon in an attack on the enemy i n a French village which resulted
in 14 prisoners of war being taken along with four machine guns.
Another wounded serviceman was Oliver Ambrose “Os” Taylor (23), a senior batsman in the club’s First
Eleven playing in the 2nd Grade competition and an Hon. Secretary. He was forced to stand down from
his secretarial role when he enlisted in April 1916. He was wounded at Bullecourt, France in May 1917
and medically discharged in March 1918. He became one of the club’s “greats.”
Geoffrey Souter Loney was 21 when he went on active service in 1915. A clerk who was born in
Campbelltown before the family moved to Blenheim St., Randwick, he was wounded in battle and was
awarded the Military Medal (one step down from a DCM) in 1919 when he was 25. Under machine gun
fire, Sergeant Loney took command of his platoon when his senior officer was wounded. Leading his
men on a charge he captured two guns and prisoners. He was considered as having “displayed great
coolness and judgement.” He went on to represent Tasmania in a first-class cricket match in 1922.
Two players who were brothers and doctors also served in the war. Dr. Cecil Allen graduated in 1915
as a Master of Surgery and his brother Dr. Theo Allen did the same thing the following year. Both
Walter Dowd
returned to Randwick after the war.
L Maloney was wounded while on active service. He played just four games with the club in 1914-15 scoring 41 runs while he took
4 for 46 with his bowling.
A player who participated in the war but didn’t join Randwick until 1919, a year after its conclusion, was Colin Graham Lutton. He
was awarded the Military Medal in 1918 for “displaying courage and initiative” in attacking enemy soldie rs “firing his gun from
the hip while wounded, to assist his platoon in gaining the objective.” Lutton went on to play 13 seasons with Randwick as one of
its best lower-grade all-rounders.
Randwick DCC’s complete Roll of Honour is as follows: Dr Cecil Gordon Allen; Dr Theophilus George Allen; Frederick Breakspear;
H Bridges; E Clancy; Charles Frederick Coulton; Walter Ambrose Dowd; Robert Hill; W Kerr; Geoffrey Souter Loney; L Maloney;
John Norton Joseph O’Hanlon; Charles Wright Patrick; Septimus Roberts; Arthur James Searle; Tom Seddon; Norman Douglas
Small; E Stewart; Clarence Sweeney; Ernest Mainwaring Swinnerton; Oliver Ambrose Taylor; W Thorpe; Percy Ward; Percy
Greystone Wetherill.
MARRICKVILLE
est.1910
While it is known that a number of Marrickville’s playing members served in World War I, only 11 can be identified. The club did
not produce a Roll of Honour which may have been an outcome of it not being operational for three seasons between 1916 and
1919. Financial difficulties were also being experienced well before it shut down with the annual report of 1914-15 reduced to a
few typed foolscap pages a clear example. No report was produced to cover the 1915-16 season. The annual report of NSW Cricket
Association for 1918-19 however, included the names of those who the Association was aware, served in the forces from the
Marrickville District Cricket Club. Those names are as follows:
Gordon Roy Asprey; W Burgess; Valentine Donowa; James Verner Garner; John Norman Glover; William Henson; Milton Jarvie;
Albert Thomas Lord; Reginald Pettit; Clifford James Searle; Frederick Molmer Stackelberg.
Gordon Roy Asprey (pictured), one of the best spin bowlers in the club returned in 1918 a war hero and
highly decorated soldier being awarded a Distinguished Conduct Medal (DCM). His recommendation
papers included the comment “during nearly four years of active service, including a considerable period
daily under fire, (he) carried out his duties most fearlessly and capably.” The papers also state “ his
intense energy and efficiency as the senior NCO contributed in a marked degree to the success of the unit
in coping with the tasks allotted.” He served at Gallipoli arriving there in June 1915. He was also awarded
the 1914-15 Star, British War Medal and Victory Medal.
Milton Jarvie, a 3rd Grade and City and Suburban player who took a hat-trick in 1911-12, rose to the
rank of Major and was also honoured with the Military Cross and the Efficiency Decoration. He
subsequently became mayor of Marrickville Council from 1925 to 1927. He was also elected to the NSW
Legislative Assembly in 1925 as the Member for Ashfield serving until 1935.
Clifford James Searle was a 22 years old warehouseman when he left for the war in 1915 being awarded
a Military Medal for his service in the 5th Australian Field Ambulance unit. The recommendation papers state: “At 3.00 p.m. on
3 May 1917 the shelling was so severe that the Ambulance Wagon Loading Post had to be moved. These men (Searle and A T
Watters) speedily removed 10 patients under very heavy shell fire. They continued at work for 36 hours without rest and loaded
400 to 500 patients on to wagons, all the time under more or less heavy shell fire." Prior to enlisting he was a regular memb er of
the club’s 2nd Grade team.
They shall not grow old, as we that are left grow old,
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning.
We will remember them.

President’s Report
Ladies and Gentlemen of Randwick Petersham Cricket, I am delighted to present to you my 14th
report on the activities of our club. And what a season it has been. A season of mixed emotions.
Mixed in the sense that we continued to be a leader in our promotion of the game as evidenced
by our hosting of the World Cup contender Cricket Ireland while as a force in Sydney Grade Cricket
we fell well below our high expectations.
The highlight of our summer was clearly having the Ireland Cricket team join us for a week at
Coogee in early February as they readied themselves for the 2015 ICC World Cup competition
which was played in Australia during February-March. It was a week which put the Randwick
Petersham name on the map at international level. Labelled the New Balance Community Cricket
Week it involved a number of community and coaching programs with local schoolchildren, centre wicket practice for the Ireland
players supported by many of our promising young bowlers and to top it off, a mat ch between our First XI and the Ireland team.
The game received plenty of media coverage and attracted a great crowd to Coogee Oval on the Friday. The day was abuzz with
fun and fanfare under clear blue skies and to put the icing on the cake, Randwick Petersham had a convincing win! What a thrill
for our players to beat an international team which went on to win three matches in the World Cup including the West Indies.
It was a huge event for us. Almost 12 months in the making, it took enormous resources both physical and financial to produce
what was an outstanding result. I am so grateful for all the sponsors, volunteers and others who helped out on the day. And my
special thanks to the Ireland High Commissioner, His Excellency Noel White (Ambassador); the Ireland Consul General Ms Jane
Connelly and Vice Consul General George O’Keefe; Cricket Ireland’s Richard Holdsworth (Performance Director) and Suzanne
Kenealy (International Teams Administration Manager) along with Diane Butler (Manager Australia and NZ) and Aoife Finnegan
of Tourism Ireland. A big thank-you to Randwick City Council for the many favours, particularly the official welcoming reception.
I would also like to acknowledge the brilliant performance of both John Stewart and John McLoughlin in bringing this event about.
They had “cooked” up the idea a year ahead and threw their whole heart and soul into turning it into reality. And apart from the
week itself, through their untiring efforts we now have a strong link with Cricket Ireland which is sure to bring about additional
benefit to the club in the years ahead. Thank you gentlemen. Take a bow!
That was not the only international match we had this year as we played the Cricket Club of India at Coogee Oval on Sunday 4
January. We lost that one but it was great experience for our players and particularly for the five who were under 21. I understand
the CC of India are keen for us to visit them and play on their Brabourne Stadium in Mumbai which is a regular Test Match venue.
On the home-front however, there is not a great deal of joy to report. It can be said however, that we were a bit unlucky to miss
out on a couple of finals series with 1st Grade missing out on the Belvidere Cup top six on quotient while our Poidevin Gray boys
missed out on a semi-final spot after a tied result. Both teams would have made it by scoring one more run in games which
counted. But due credit must be given to our 5th graders with them contesting the finals series for the 11th time in our 14 y ears.
And although they went down fighting in the qualifying final their record is quite an amazing one.
We thought we were a big chance of defending our Twenty 20 Cup victory of last season when we got to the semi -finals at the
Sydney Cricket Ground against St George who we had beaten in the lead-up before faltering in the game that mattered. Clearly
we remain one of the top Twenty 20 sides in Sydney. What I can’t quite work out is why one of the Big Bash teams haven’t picked
up Adam Semple whose record in this form of the game is nothing short of brilliant. Or Nathan Price for that matter.
The big disappointment for me was the way we folded up in the Club Championship. We began OK and had our PG boys beaten
Manly on 30 November instead of losing by just three runs, we would have been in the lead. But from there it was all downhill.
Going into Christmas we had our worst defeat ever when we lost in all grades to Easts conceding a bonus point in three of the
five games. And while the final round of the season produced a “Greenwash” over Uni. of NSW when we won all grades, we
remained in 11th position some 574 points from the winner Manly who had a fabulous year.
I appreciate that winning isn’t everything but of particular concern was the way training suffered reduced attendances while some
players took games off for all sorts of flimsy excuses. It showed a lack of dedication and application and to me, it seemed t hat
some players “threw in the towel”. I have always been of the view that when the going got tough Randwick Petersham cricketers
got going. Sadly I don’t think that was the situation this season and accordingly the committee has been giving the matter its
undivided attention in recent times. There will be changes next season and I am pleased that the first of those is the appointment
of our first full-time coach, Greg Small. We welcome Greg to the club and look forward to everyone working closely with him next
season so we can make up the ground we lost this season.
It was a pleasure to see Simon Katich enter our Life Member ranks last annual general meeting. What an ornament to the game
and to this club he has been. One only had to be present as he made an emotional acceptance speech to realise his dedication to
this club and the people in it. And what a tragedy for cricket and the cricket world when Simon’s Test batting partner Phil Hughes
lost his life in a freak on-field accident at the Sydney Cricket Ground last November. It was devastating for everyone associated
with the game to lose such a young man at the top of his game. Simon’s comments in an article which is included in this report
capture the emotion of the moment and the great sense of loss of a player who lived for the game.
Our 1st Grade side was a very young one with seven of the 17 players this season under 21 years of age. We had five “new caps”
in the team bringing to 99 the number who have played 1st Grade in our 14 years. We welcomed Tom Jagot and Henry Thornton
who both went on to play for NSW in the under19 years championship with Henry later playing in the Australian under 19 series
against England. He did so well he was subsequently awarded a rookie contract with NSW for next season. His 5-32 in his one and
only 1st Grade match stamped him as a player of potential. Young Middlesex batsman Ryan Higgins was an impressive debutante
while Sam Doggett and Alex Kemp joined us from Queensland. Alex has played six times for the Sunshine State. With the
combination of youth and experience our 1st XI was a good team and it was disappointing to see them miss out on the finals.
We had some good captains this season and it was no reflection on their leadership talents that we didn’t bring home a cup or
two. Adam Semple is well cemented as a 1st Grade captain who leads from the front with great consistency whether batting,
bowling or fielding. He passed 3,500 runs and 150 wickets in 1sts this summer. John McLoughlin looked after 2s for the first time
and started with a bang scoring a century in the first round. He is now third on the run-making list having passed 5,000. Rod
Stafford dropped a grade this year in an effort to revive the fortunes of 3rd Grade. He brought up a couple of milestones passing
200 games and 350 wickets, while 3s were the big improver in the run to the finishing line. David Bourke won an amazing 12
tosses in a row but his charges struggled all season while in 5th Grade Grant Rimmer took over after a few games when Jason
McLean stood down and led the side to a Qualifying Final. He also passed 300 wickets for the club and we can only hope that the
announcement of his pending retirement proves to be short lived. And in the Metropolitan Cup we had a few captains but the
one consistency was the “Maestro” Denis Hinds steering all the ships with a single rudder. Well done to all skippers.
A Poidevin Gray or A W Green Shield premiership still eludes us but boy, our youngsters played well again this summer. The Green
Shielders finished 10th but were only one win our of a finals berth. Eddie Otto is fast making a name for himself as an excellent
junior coach while his running of the Academy and its programs has been first class. I have to say our PG side was one of the best
around and while we had high expectations they stumbled a bit when the chips were down.
We had a few records set during the year. The Sam’s brothers, Anthony and Daniel were at their best putting on 183 for the
seventh wicket against Hawkesbury which was a new club and 1st Grade record while Jaya Murdita and Cam Fowler set a new
4th Grade mark for the 10th wicket when they put on 73 against Bankstown in just 22 minutes. The 5th Grade side’s 10 wicket
win over Bankstown was a new record winning margin while unfortunately for 4th Grade they suffered a few record margin
defeats. And speaking of records, good to see Alex Sciascia pass 200 games to join Matt Hilder, David Bourke and Rod Stafford.
The old warhorse Nigil Singh also continued on his wicket-taking way to take his tally to 384 with another 42 this season.
I feel very fortunate to say in recent years that our sponsorship arrangements continue to get better and better. And this season
has been no exception. We are blessed with the greatest collection of sponsors any club could wish for. In fact they’re more than
sponsors—they’re friends. To add to our impressive list I welcome the following new sponsors to the Randwick Petersham Cricket
family: New Balance; Ray White Real Estate Kensington; Coogee Sands Hotel; Telstra Randwick; Waterford Crystal and Titan
Fitness Coogee. And with key sponsors following up this summer, it was a 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 providing our Player of the Season Nathan Price with the use of a vehicle for his trips back and
forth from Newcastle.
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 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.
One of Randwick Petersham’s great strengths is that it has 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. Alan Wright, Peter Wright
in his capacity of Association Delegate, Chris Sullivan, David Townsend and myself have all served the full 14 years along wi th
Wayne Tilley our Hon. Auditor. Bill Anderson has seven years up while David Holland, Nigil Singh, Neale Anderson and Peter Devlin
have been there for six years as has been our patron Alan Turner. Anyes McLean (four years), James Tyson and David Bourke
(three years each) are the “junior” members in terms of years served. And apart from those willing hands we have a number in
other administration roles who have been doing their bit for many years such as Lyall Gardner, Ray Stafford, John Stewart and
John McLoughlin. This is an impressive management team line-up in anyone’s language. I would need a few more pages to sing
the praises of our officials and volunteers. Also well done to the guys from Green Options for their work on our grounds. Tha nk
you, thank you, one and all!
In thanking one and all of the above for their wonderful work over the season, I would like to pay homage to David Townsend and
Anyes McLean, both of whom are finishing up this year. David joined the management team from the start and has worked
tirelessly in the role of Junior Development Officer throughout that time. He brought a great deal of experience to the role and I
feel sure many of the players who have honed their skills over the years can attribute their development to David’s influence .
Apart from that, David has been active in many other administrative roles not the least of which was as an outstanding Master of
Ceremonies at the many social functions conducted by the club. He has taken a cricket job in the UK and we wish him well in t he
future.
As well as being the mother of two of the club’s outstanding young players, Anyes McLean has been a tower of strength in handling
the club’s cricket clothing requirements while being hands-on in all social events and functions. Her work on Ladies Day in putting
together “goodies bags” had become legendary in a short time. Unfortunately her boys Brandon and Hayden have switched clubs
and apart from losing them we lose Anyes. It’s hard to just say thanks to someone like Anyes who doesn’t know ho w to stop
helping out. That we will miss her is to underscore the obvious. Anyes deserves good fortune and that’s just what we wish her in
the future.
I would also like to make special mention of Alan Vaughan. Alan has been the club photographer for the past few years and has
helped greatly in the promotion of the club and its activities through his snaps. This past year he took on the demanding rol e of
Manager of the 1st Grade team and did a great job. Unfortunately his step-son Nathan Ellis has decided to play elsewhere and
Alan will be lost to us as well. Many thanks Alan for your untiring efforts and great interest in the club. I am pleased to hear
however, that you have joined “The Legends” to maintain an involvement with the club.
With the generous contributions from our sponsors and some prudent management expertise we have managed to stay on the
right side of the financial ledger. In fact, we are in a very sound position at present. When I think back to when I started in 1976
when it cost about $6,000 to run the club and look at this year’s expenditure of almost $400,000, my mind just boggles. We are
talking about an amateur cricket club whose expenditure has increased 65 fold in just on 40 years! But it’s a necessary expense
in these modern days which requires greater management care and expertise. We are fortunate of course, to have the personnel
to do just that with James Tyson, in his third year as Financial Controller doing a superb job. Our Chief Executive David Holland,
who has just completed six 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 five years.
Again Chris Sullivan, Neale Anderson and Anyes McLean did themselves proud with the President’s Luncheon this season. We’ve
had some great gigs in recent years and this was no exception. It was made all the more impressive when we lost our original
attraction “The King” Viv Richards who was forced to return home following the death of his mother and was replaced by none
other than “The Little Master” Sunil Gavaskar! How good was that! And how good was Sunny! Simply spectacular and very special.
Our Director of Cricket Operations Bill Anderson and Coaching Co-ordinator Alan Wright headed up an experienced coaching
group. They again allocated specific coaches to particular grades which is proving to be a successful innovation. Any coaching
group which includes names like Andrew Millican, Peter Devlin, David Skuthorpe, Darren Smith and Denis Hinds has gotta be
good! But add former Test fast bowler Simon Cook and you have something that’s better than good! Many thanks gentlemen .
I am delighted to report that pursuant to the ideals of trust, respect and humility which I have been pushing ever since I took on
the presidency of this club, no player was reported and in fact we finished second in the Sydney Cricket Association’s Spirit of
Cricket ratings this season. We were just a fraction of a point behind the winners Sydney University. This is a fantastic res ult and
everyone, especially our captains and officials should feel proud about the way they have conducted themselves this seas on.
Our volunteers remain the lifeblood of Randwick Petersham Cricket. We have been most fortunate over the past 14 years to have
so many people willing to help out in every aspect of the club. They give of their time, their energy and most importantly provide
unfaltering support to the club as a whole. The way everyone chipped in to ensure our New Balance Community Cricket Week
went the way it did is a good example of the dedicated support we have. It is our greatest asset. And speaking of great asset s
there are no more valuable people than those who help in our canteens. Robin Gardner, Sue Hill, Faye Semple, Julie Kennedy,
Judy Stapleton, Amy Singh, Karen Charlwood, Sara Wilson, Anyes McLean and others pitch in to ensure no-one is left wanting on
match days. And I must also mention Judy Stapleton who we are losing as her son Nicholas has decided to play elsewhere next
season. Many thanks Judy not only for your help over the years but also for your friendship. You and Kim will be missed.
This season a great number of people associated with the club and the foundation clubs passed away. I was saddened by John
O’Loughlin and his wife Josie’s passing after both being involved for over 70 years while John Brennan was a Randwick player for
18 seasons and Bruce Livingston had 15 with Petersham-Marrickville. The legendary Richie Benaud, who was a Randwick captain
and helped me in my early days was a loss to this club and to the whole cricket world. Tony Parker was another who helped greatly
after the merger and went too early as did Greg Doyle who was just 49. And there were many other family members including
both parents of our patron Alan Turner. A very sad year indeed. The Obituary section of this report contains for full details.
In conclusion I would like to thank one and all for your support, dedication, loyalty and hard work throughout this and the past
14 years. And while we have had a few difficulties this season it was great fun and I look forward to 2015-16 with real anticipation.
Mike Whitney, President
The Helpers 2014-15
We are in a unique and enviable position. No other club has the depth and strength of our volunteer support. These are people who give their time and energy to be
part of this great club. People who care about our club and the people in it. They are our heart and soul. Whether it is 10 hours or 1,000 hours it is impossible to
recognise or thank you enough. Thank you!

REPORT OF THE MANAGEMENT COMMITTEE
by David Holland, Chief Executive Officer
It’s been only a satisfactory year from a playing perspective and our on-field results have not been as
strong as in previous seasons. The Club was 11th in terms of Club Championship points (6th in 201314, 9th in 2012-13 and 12th in 2011-12) which was a disappointing result given that we were 5th a
week before the Christmas break. 1st Grade continued to perform well in the T20 competition
coming in second which continues their strong performance in this competition having won the
competition twice in the last three seasons. They were 7th and 10th in the two day and one day
competitions respectively which was a good result for a team that is still young and developing. All
other grades had average seasons finishing in the middle/below middle of their respective draws, the
exceptions being PG’s who came in 6th and 5th Grade who did well coming in 5th. The elevation midseason of Grant Rimmer to captain of 5s was a masterstroke by the selectors and highlights the
importance of the captaincy role in teams. Encouragingly the club has polled well again in the Spirit of
Cricket Award coming in 2nd overall.
In addition, we have a number of players who participated in representative teams.
1. David Warner continues to play for Australia in both Test and one day formats
2. Tom Jagot and Henry Thornton were selected in the NSW U19 team
3. Henry Thornton was selected in the Australian U19 team, had an outstanding tour to the UK where he was leading
wicket-taker (19 wickets at average 15) and was then offered a Rookie Contract with Cricket NSW
4. Adam Semple and Anthony Sams were selected in the Combined T20 team
5. Nathan Price, Sam Doggett, Ben Mitchel, Ben Stares and Nathan Stares were selected in the Indigenous NSW Imparja
Cup team
6. Scorer Chris McLeod was called up to score in six Big Bash and Matador Cup matches and was the official scorer for the
NSW Imparja Cup team.
IRELAND AND INDIA - While the playing side of the club had a few issues, in almost every other respect the club excelled. By far
the greatest achievement was the running of the New Balance Community Cricket (Ireland) week. Both John Stewart and John
McLoughlin need to be congratulated for their significant contributions which were supported to the hilt by President Mike
Whitney. Both Johns were involved in extensive negotiations with Cricket Ireland personnel, organising accommodation,
arranging training sessions at Coogee, organising the game day, arranging the formal welcome with Randwick Council, providing
sponsorship and ensuring the week ran to budget. It was no easy feat. The club got behind both Johns and the success of the
week proved that the club was able to organise, manage and arrange a significant event - the hosting of an international team
was an enormous success. As a result of their contributions John Stewart and John McLoughlin will be awarded the President’s
Special Recognition Award at the AGM.
In similar fashion RP hosted a one-day game against the Cricket Club of India on 4 January 2015 at Coogee. The RP team
comprised mostly 1st and 2nd Grade players and was a valuable exercise for them over the Christmas break. The game was won
by CCI and was played in good spirit. At the presentation at the end of the game CCI issued an invitation to RP to tour India over
the Christmas period at end 2015 and this initiative is currently being investigated by the Management Committee. Thanks are
extended to Bill Anderson, Anyes McLean, Robin Gardner, Alan Wright and Peter Devlin who helped with the administration of
this event.
ADMINISTRATION - At an administrative level, in 2014-15 the Management Committee met on nine occasions to discuss the
way forward and matters affecting the club. The Committee received regular reports from the Operations team regarding the
coaching and playing side of the club and also from 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
matters relating to the club’s sponsorship, Peter Wright on SCA/NSW Cricket matters and Chris Sullivan on social events. The
Leadership Group was represented by Grant Rimmer and John McLoughlin who contributed to discussions at meetings and
provided a strong player perspective ensuring that the club stays closely connected to its players. Unfortunately, we received
the resignations of both David Townsend who has moved to the UK for work related reasons and Anyes McLean. We can be
thankful for the stability, drive and hard work of the current Management Committee.
CLUB OPERATIONS – During the season we welcomed Alex Kemp from Queensland. He has been a useful addition to our 1st
Grade team and has provided valuable training for a number of our lower grade players. However, the loss of a number of
senior players at the end of the season was most disappointing. The club had ploughed significant effort and resource into th ese
players over a number of years and to see them go was a setback. It has resulted in much discussion at Committee level to see
how we may have failed them and what changes need to be made to the Club’s training, playing and coaching regimes. As a
result, a new coaching regime will be rolled out in the 2015-16 season headed by Coach Greg Small. He has an impressive
coaching background and he will be assisted by a range of coaches who will be appointed shortly. In addition, the Academy will
again be run, headed by Eddie Otto.
A huge thank you to all coaches who contributed in the 2014-15 season including Simon Cook, Andrew Millican, Darren Smith,
Peter Devlin, David Skuthorpe and Denis Hinds. Can I pay tribute to both Peter Devlin and Alan Wright who undertook much of
the ground work in setting up the season and the teams. They were both instrumental in speaking to leading players, organisin g
coaches and arranging pre-season and training programs.
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 12th out of 20, and in lower grade grounds Kenso 13th out of 39 with Snape 33rd out of 40.
However the rankings jump around from season to season and the club is wary of the reliability of the SCA figures. We are
indeed lucky to have David Bourke who oversees the administration of grounds and in particular Peter Devlin who provides a
wealth of talent regarding the standard of them.
Petersham Oval continued as host to a number of senior games this season including three 1st Grade games. While ground and
pitch preparations were good for two of the three games, the pitch for the conduct of the Round 6 game vs St George was not
up to standard which resulted in discussions with Green Options. The resulting changes to ground preparation saw a vastly
improved wicket at Petersham for the remainder of the season. 2nd Grade played three times at Peto. After being ranked a
disappointing 38th out of 39 in 2012-13, Peto was ranked 10th out of 40 in 2013-14 and 6th in the 2014-15 season. Wayne
Mulherin has continued his efforts with Peto and his work with Marrickville Council has seen considerable improvement in our
relationship with it over recent years. Wayne was in a major way responsible for the contract with Council which allowed the
club to engage its own groundsmen (Green Options) with Council contributing to the cost of the works which was in its second
year of operation in the 2014-15 season.
SPONSORSHIP - The club’s finances during the 2014-15 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), Petersham RSL, Sydney City Toyota, Kingsgrove Sports, Greg
Chappell Cricket Centre, Flight Centre Coogee, MSA, JWI Advisory Group, Euphoria Sports Management, CE Chapman Lawyers,
BP Woodward and Associates, Alan Wright and Associates, Surf Life Saving Sunscreen, GRD Outdoor Solutions, Cartwright
Insurance Brokers, Accor Hotels, Sydney Airport Corporation, Pacific Square Maroubra, Petrozzi Wellness Centre, Little Piazza
Bar and Grill and Mike Whitney Promotions. Furthermore, Ireland Week welcomed New Balance, Waterford Crystal, Telstra
Store Randwick, Coogee Sands, Ray White Kensington, Brightset Printing, Mr Badges, Titan Fitness and Walsh’s Village
Pharmacy. Can I reiterate President Mike Whitney’s comments and offer sincere thanks to Neale Anderson, James Wynn, Anyes
McLean, David Bourke, John McLoughlin and John Stewart for their significant contribution to the raising of the club’s
sponsorship dollars.
SOCIAL – The President’s Luncheon was again this season held at Dockside on 20 February 2015. Unfortunately the great Sir
Vivian Richards who was scheduled to speak was unable to attend and was replaced by Sunil Gavaskar who was magnificent.
Our own Simon Katich was also able to attend. This has been a regular event on the social calendar for some years and besides
being a great way to bring the club together it also contributes to the club’s finances through the sale of auction items. Thanks
go to Chris Sullivan and Anyes McLean for their work in organising the President’s Lunch and to Mike Whitney as MC and
Graeme Hughes for his contribution in rolling out the event.
DAVID TOWNSEND – David was a founding member of the Management Committee from its inception in 2001 and actively
contributed to merger negotiations. As a member of the Management Committee he was responsible for Junior Development
and contributed to training programs in local schools and junior cricket clubs. He was able to provide a valuable link to the SCA
and NSW Cricket. In addition David had a splendid playing career at RP – he played 141 games for RP and scored 3633 runs over
11 seasons entirely with 4th Grade. He captained 4th Grade from 2003 to 2010 and won minor premierships in 2005-06 and
2006-07. He won a Grand Final premiership in the 2005-06 season during which he scored two centuries. A further three
centuries were scored in 2001-02, 2002-03 and 2006-07. He was the SCA Captain of the Year in 2004-05 and 2007-08. He won
the SCA Spirit of Cricket Award for 4th Grade in 2004-05. David has been a magnificent contributor to the club and he will be
missed. We wish him well in his new work in the UK.
ANYES McLEAN – Anyes 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. In addition Anyes was the club’s first female Management Committee representative and helped
out with social and special events. Anyes has offered her resignation and has concluded her time with us to concentrate upon
work responsibilities. On behalf of the club we offer Anyes our heartfelt thanks for her considerable efforts.
A SALUTE – Can 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 Hill, Julie Kennedy, Judy
Stapleton, Sara Wilson, Amy Singh and Karen Charlwood. And last but certainly not least, thank you to all supporters and
volunteers who give up their time and effort to enjoy and contribute to a great club.
Sponsorship and Marketing
The season was of course dominated by the Cricket Ireland / New Balance Community Cricket Week, a match against the prestigious
Indian team of the Cricket Club of India and a visit of the actual Cricket World Cup trophy to Coogee Oval. The Ireland Cricket week
gave us the opportunity to find new sponsors which we hope can be on-going members of the Randy Pete’s family.
New Sponsors
Season 2014-15 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 new high profile sponsors which increases our total number to over 25 organisations.
New sponsors this year were:
New Balance

all the local papers and as a result of our match against Ireland, we enjoyed international exposure. Our thanks to the Inner West
Courier, Southern Courier and the Beast Magazine.
The Randy Pete’s Brand

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, 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.

Randwick Petersham v Cricket Ireland
The New Balance Community Cricket Week
International Cup
There had been quite a buzz around Randwick Petersham Cricket Club for many months at the prospect of hosting a match against
the ICC 2015 Cricket World Cup contender Ireland. The game had been set down for Friday 6 February at the “Randy Petes’” home
ground, the picturesque sea-side Coogee Oval and was to be the culmination of a week of practice and preparatory work for the
Ireland squad. And to add to the excitement, just prior to their arrival, Ireland was granted full One Day International (ODI) status.
This was the first opportunity for Randwick Petersham to have a taste of international competition with the result every memb er
of the current 1st Grade team made themselves available for the clash despite it being played on a work day. Initial discussions
for the composition of the team surrounded it being a Randwick Petersham Invitational XI. It was also a big occasion for the local
community as they had not been treated to a sporting match of such stature since the All Blacks played Randwick Rugby Club at
Coogee in 1988 before a crowd of over 9,000.
The match was the outcome of a discussion some 18 months earlier between two of the cricket club’s promising young
administrators, John Stewart and John McLoughlin. Stewart (29) is the enthusiastic curator of the club’s museum located in the
Coogee Oval pavilion while McLoughlin (34) is the developer and manager of the club’s website. Both captain club teams and also
sit on the sponsorship committee.
During a general conversation between the two about raising the profile of the club, the possibility of hosting a World Cup
contender prior to the event in February 2015 was discussed. McLoughlin had experienced a similar situation with Finedon Dolben
a club he played with in the UK hosting the New Zealand team prior to the Champion’s Trophy. It was felt that maybe one of the
lower-profile teams such as Ireland could be interested in playing a Sydney club team and a few enquiries may be worthwhile. The
fact Coogee has a high Irish population was also a carrot.
Those talks resulted in Stewart sowing the seed with a media contact he had at Cricket Ireland (CI). Shortly after he was liaising
with CI’s Performance Director Richard Holdsworth over an extended period. With the matter “gaining legs” club President Mike
Whitney, himself a World Cup participant in 1992, was approached for formal approval to proceed with arrangements. By this
time discussions had centered on the Ireland team being located in Coogee for almost a week and being part of a community
cricket promotion program while using the club’s facilities for the teams’ practice and preparatory sessions.
And while the many logistical issues created a challenge, not the least of which was funding, the dedication of joint event directors
Stewart and McLoughlin along with Whitney and a host of volunteers, particularly Jarryd Biviano, Nick Saady, Anyes McLean, Alan
Vaughan and Damien Sidney, left no stone unturned in ensuring that everything that could be put in place was in place prior to
the visitors arrival. At a dinner in Sydney during an acclimatisation tour by CI officials Roy Torrens (mana ger) and Phil Simmons
(coach) in October 2014 it was clear that the arrangements outlined by Stewart, Whitney and club CEO David Holland left them in
no doubt of the Randwick Petersham commitment to providing Ireland with the best preparation possible.
The leading sports footwear and apparel organisation New Balance was chosen as naming rights sponsor because of its entry into
the cricket market and its exposure as a well-known sporting brand. Furthermore, the company paralleled Randwick Petersham’s
vision of promoting cricket within a community context. The outcome was that the event was billed the “New Balance Community
Cricket Week”.
In a message to the local community Mike Whitney said “Having Ireland in Sydney is great news for all cricket fans and Randwick
Petersham Cricket Club is delighted to be able to host them during their time here. It will be a great thrill for our players to watch
them train and our match against them at Coogee Oval on Friday 6 February should be a cracker, with our guys keen to test
themselves against a quality International side. We hope that all the Irish fans in Sydney can come down and enjoy the day.”
With the Cricket Ireland squad settled in at the nearby Coogee Sands Apartments and Randwick City Council hosting an official
welcoming reception, the week began with a number of community programs including a coaching clinic attended by over 60 local
school children. CI players Andrew Balbirnie, Alex Cusack, Stuart Thompson, Craig Young and Peter Johnson participated along
with RPC leading players, in conjunction with Cricket NSW Game Development Officers. All were brilliant in organising the kids in
fielding drills, ball skills and a high catching competition. Centre wicket practice sessions and net bowling also enabled the club’s
up-and-coming bowlers namely, Nathan Ellis, Nicholas Stapleton, Hayden McLean, Jack Preddey, Adam Semple and Jaya Murdita,
to challenge players of international experience. The Irish were greatly impressed with young 2nd Grade leg-spinner Preddey that
they requested his attendance at every training session.
And while the weather leading up to match day was more Irish than it was Aussie, dawn on Friday 6 February brought clear and
sunny skies. The marquee was erected, sponsors signs decorated the entire perimeter, the flags were flying and groundsmen were
putting the final touches to what was to be the most historic day for Randwick Petersham since it arose from the Randwick /
Petersham-Marrickville merger 14 years earlier.
With the national anthems sung and the team photos snapped, Ireland batted first after skipper William Porterfield had called
correctly at the toss. Porterfield is Ireland’s most successful captain having led the Ireland side on more than 100 occasions since
assuming the leadership from former North Sydney and NSW fast bowler Trent Johnston. He also has hit six ODI centuries.
Paul Stirling and Porterfield opened on a beautifully prepared flat pitch, ideal for limited-overs cricket. With the score on 24 RPC’s
promising young left-armer Daniel Sams had Stirling caught in the covers off a slower ball for 16. Former 17 times England ODI
player Ed Joyce who scored a century at the Sydney Cricket Ground to enable England to defeat Australia in 2007 joined his captain
and the pair put on 87 before Nathan Price snuck one through Joyce’s defence to see him gone for 49 after 23 overs.
After a quick-fire 31 off 32 balls by Niall O’Brien and the departure of Porterfield for 74 off 107, the scene was set for a thrilling
final 10 overs with the total an impressive 4-204. However the young “Randy Petes” side with eight enthusiastic players aged 23
and under, stuck to their guns with the ball and in the field restricting the Emerald Islanders to 7-255 after their 50 overs. Six
bowlers had shared the wickets with skipper Adam Semple returning best figures of 2-24.
At lunchtime, Mike Whitney gave a heart-felt welcoming address in the company of the Irish Ambassador, the President and other
officials from Cricket Ireland, Randwick City Council representatives, local members of Parliament and a host of sponsors.
Immediately after, Ryan Higgins, a young recruit for the season from Middlesex and wicket-keeper / batsman Anthony Sams, who
had scored a century in 1st Grade the previous week opened the batting as the sun came out in full force.
Higgins was the first casualty for 12 with the score on 22 but Sams and Price got together in a 101 runs stand in 16 overs before
Peter Chase had Price caught for 51 off 71 balls. But that didn’t slow the pace as Alex Kemp, who played six times for Queensland
three years ago, joined Sams in a 59 runs partnership in 11 overs to get the score to 3-182 before Kemp departed for 31.
When Sams was caught on the mid-wicket boundary for 80 off 84 balls with six fours and two sixes, the score-line read 4-200 with
13 overs to go. An upset was on the cards and when Daniel Sams (27 off 27) and Semple (33 not out off 29 with five fours and a
six) swung the bat to reach 5-256 the unexpected had occurred—a Randwick Petersham victory by five wickets with seven overs
remaining. The magnificent Waterford Crystal donated trophy on display in the marquee would have a home in Coogee!
Craig Young was the best of the Cricket Ireland bowlers taking 3-68 off 8.5 overs with Peter Chase (1-20) and Max Sorensen (1-36)
the other wicket takers. Randwick Petersham’s Anthony Sams was named man of the match.
The performance of Randwick Petersham to defeat an international side was quite outstanding and went a long way towards
putting the club in the forefront of the cricketing world. “I told the boys not to miss the chance to win against an international
side,” a thrilled Mike Whitney said after the match. “Some of our guys may go onto higher representation, but for others, this will
be the pinnacle of their cricketing lives. This was such a hard challenge, but the way the club has pulled together in the last 12
months, capped off by a wonderful cricket match, you can’t be a prouder person than I am.”
A purpose of the match was to also build strong cricket ties with a fast rising national cricket organisation which appears c ertain
to have been achieved with Cricket Ireland. Its progress in the ICC World Cup competition was followed with great interest a nd
enthusiasm by Randwick Petersham Cricket Club members and supporters whose cheers could be heard from Petersham to
Coogee when Ireland defeated West Indies in Nelson, New Zealand in their first match. With wins also against Zimbabwe and UAE
they finished equal fourth in the preliminary matches with West Indies and there was real disappointment throughout the
Randwick Petersham ranks when they missed a place in the semis based on a lower net run rate.
Another attraction in ensuring stronger future ties with Cricket Ireland lies in the various bonds already existing between both
bodies. Mike Whitney and Phil Simmons are two who go back some way having been adversaries in a number of Test matches and
ODI’s while a former Randwick Petersham 1st Grade captain Matthew Mott was CI’s assistant coach. Another CI staffer, analyst
Peter Johnson, played with the club in its first season in 2001-02. And while he was sent home with a broken jaw after showing
plenty of promise hitting two centuries in lower grades, it was pleasing to see him later named as coach of Ireland in their clash
with England in May 2015. Two other Irishman have featured in grade at RPC. Gary Kidd, now playing first-class in Ireland for
NCU Northern Knights and Donal Vaughan. And the memory of Richard Holdsworth in recalling himself as a youngster bowling to
Mike Whitney in the nets at Gloucestershire in 1981 adds to an impressive connection list.
After the match Holdsworth sent an email from Dublin containing the following comments:
“Just so disappointed I was not with you all in Coogee to see it all for myself. The Cricket Ireland Team and Management are
indebted to you all for such making them feel so welcome, bending over backwards to support their needs, and for organising
such a tremendous week ahead of the ICC World Cup. Whilst I shall say little over your wonderful victory (we know we need to be
better than that!), the players have had great preparation ahead of next week when it gets that much more serious, and we could
not have done it without your commitment and hard work. The players felt they lived in Ireland (apart from the weather!) by the
time they left with so many locals supporting them. We really are so grateful to you all for your efforts and please pass on our
thanks to the club and all the volunteers who supported us so well. Thank you all again for all the efforts this week, and best of
luck for the rest of the season.”
Cricket Ireland President Joe Doherty commented “I arrived in Sydney late on Thursday night, in time to rock up at Coogee Oval
the following morning to support the Ireland XI in the friendly organised as the climax to the squad's week long training cam p
provided by the Randwick Petersham club. The setting is 100 yards from a golden beach of which Donegal would be proud and a
similar distance from the team hotel overlooking the ocean - the most idyllic cricket setting imaginable”.
Ireland wicket-keeper and former Surrey County captain Gary Wilson wrote in his World Cup Diary: “I’ve got to say they (Randwick
Petersham) are taking their hosting duties unbelievably seriously, guys have taken the week off work to help with work on the
ground, there are flags and posters advertising the week up all around town and everywhere we walk people want to talk t o us
about our chances. It really has been a first class effort by all concerned. ” In support of Wilson’s notation, Phil Simmons and Roy
Torrens said they “had no complaints and the team did not go wanting throughout the week.”
In a fitting conclusion to New Balance Community Cricket week, local Federal Member of Parliament Matt Thistlethwaite stood in
the House of Representatives in Canberra the following Tuesday reporting on the match and activities of the event while thank ing
both Randwick Petersham and Cricket Ireland for their wonderful contribution to cricket and the community. And he did so proudly
wearing the Randwick Petersham green and gold tie presented to him by club President Mike Whitney during the course of the
historic match.
The club would like to place on record its deep appreciation and gratitude to our two event directors John Stewart and John
McLoughlin who did an outstanding job. Without their foresight and dedication it is doubtful that the event would have gone
ahead let alone be as successful as it was.
In addition to those mentioned above, the club wishes to thank Karl Schubert who did a great job as ground announcer, David
Townsend media liaison, Damien Sidney (entire week assistance), Garry Brack (ground preparation), Jeremy Jastrzab, Ed House,
Rehaan Nawaz, Nathan Stares and Aden Nawaz (match day assistance). And special thanks to Anyes McLean who handled the
merchandise and ran the raffles; Sara Wilson and Suzanne Sams in the marquee; Robin Gard ner and Fay Semple in the canteen,
Brian Semple and Errol Sams on the BBQ; Chris McLeod and Ian Wright for their work on the scorebooks and to the members of
the committee for their involvement, guidance and support.

RANDWICK PETERSHAM WON BY 5 WICKETS
World Cup – 5 Degrees of Separation
This season Randwick Petersham was privileged to be linked to the 2015 Cricket
World Cup.
Out of the countless destinations on offer in New Zealand and Australia , Coogee
Oval was chosen as one of the 65 stops of the official Trophy Tour. Coogee was
selected as it is an iconic Sydney tourist destination and it was a privilege for the
club to host the Cricket World Cup on the 9th January 2015. To further add to the
prestige, the Randy Pete’s were the only Sydney Grade Club to be given this
honour.
The tour provided a good opportunity to promote the World Cup and the club. It
was also great to see Nathan Hauritz return to Coogee Oval. Inflatable nets
provided an opportunity for the local community to have a hit while watching the
Sydney Test on the double-decker bus’ big screen.
The New Balance Community Cricket Week, a month later, continued the World
Cup theme (see report).

Former 1st Grade Captain Matt Mott also returned to Coogee Oval but this time as part of an opposition team. Following his
earlier coaching stint with the Irish on their acclimatisation tour in October 2014, Motty was officially appointed Ireland’s batting
coach. His expertise was translated into positive results with the team twice chasing 300 to win matches.
Prior to the Quarter Final match between Sri Lanka and the West Indies, club presidentMike Whitney was given the honour to
carry the World Cup onto the Sydney Cricket Ground. And to round off the Randy Pete’s 5 Degrees of Separation to the Cricket
World Cup – huge congratulations to the World Champions Australia on their dominating performance against NZ in the Final and
to the club’s First World Champion – David Warner (345 runs at 49.28 and Highest Score of 178)
The President’s Luncheon – His Masters’ Voice
Over 200 people enjoyed the insights, stories and humour of the little master – Sunil
Gavaskar at the annual Presidents lunch at the Dockside Darling Harbour on Friday 20th
February 2015. Keeping up the tradition of having cricketing royalty on the podium, the
Presidents Lunch organising committee again provided a major star as the cricket world
warmed up for the ICC World Cup. Sunny held the crowd enthralled at his own World Cup
stories. The lunch was compered by the king of Master of Ceremonies, Randwick
Petersham’s very own Graeme Hughes. Joining Sunny was our newest life member Simon
Katich who entertained the crowd with a few of his own on-field and off-field stories.
Club President Mike Whitney introduced the event, thanking sponsors and telling a few
stories of his own against Ian Botham. Also in attendance were RL legends Noel “Crusher”
Cleal and Stan Jurd along with Olympic medallist Mark Kerry.
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
club paparazzi and global traveller Steve Smith.
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
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. All proceeds generated on the day were donated to the Sydney
Children’s Hospital in memory of Tristan Heaton. A special thank you to Anyes McLean in organising the great gift packs that our
lovely ladies went home with.
Christmas and New Year’s Drinks
A night at the Wentworth Park Dogs was the popular venue for this event this season. Great to see all the players, partners,
sponsors and supporters mixing together for some cold beverages, some lazy bets, 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
This season saw all players, partners and supporters gather at The New Hampton Hotel in Kings Cross for some cold beverages to
reflect on the season gone and wish those finals bound the best of luck.
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 reflects the total number of
players to play in the club’s 1st Grade team.
A total of 99 players have now played in the First XI since the club’s creation 14 years ago. This season five players made their
debut as 1st 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. 95 Tom Jagot: Tom joined the club from University of NSW where he had played eight 1st Grade games. The 18 year old was
a member of the NSW under 17s in 2012-13. He made his debut with Randwick Petersham in Round 1 against CampbelltownCamden at Coogee Oval where he made 13 runs from 71 balls after opening the innings. He played in the NSW under 19s team
this season.
No. 96 Ryan Higgins: After scoring 624 runs in 2nd Grade, Poidevin Gray and Twenty20 Cup, Ryan made his debut in 1st Grade in
round 5 against Northern District at Petersham Oval. ND’s made plenty the first day but Ryan did not get to bat day 2 as it was
called off and the game declared a draw as a tribute to Phillip Hughes who died after being hit by a ball during the course o f the
Sheffield Shield match at the Sydney Cricket Ground during that week. Ryan opened his 1st Grade account batting at no. 6 in round
6 scoring 64 against St George at Petersham Oval playing an important part in the team’s 42 runs win.
No. 97 Sam Doggett: After taking 22 wickets in the first six 2nd Grade matches, the young pace bowler made his 1st Grade debut
at Petersham Oval against St George in round 7 in unusual circumstances. He was named as a replacement for Usman Khawaja
who was able to play day one but there was some doubt he would be able to play the second day due to his Sydney Thunder Big
Bash commitments. And so it turned out that Khawaja was unavailable day two remaining 24 not out from the first day’s play.
Under the replacement rules Doggett was required to continue Khawaja’s innings with the score 2-45. And while he had scored
just 13 runs in three 2nd Grade innings, he thrashed the St George bowling hitting 65 off 71 balls with eight fours. When he was
dismissed the score was 4-163 laying the foundation for a competitive total of 9-284. Sam bowled first change finishing with 0-28
off seven overs in a match which was won by 42 runs due in no small manner to his outstanding contribution with the bat.
No. 98 Henry Thornton: Henry was captain of the club’s A W Green Shield team in 2012-13 and topped the batting that season
and the one before. Because of his commitments to his school, The Scots College, we have seen little of him in the Grade ranks.
Last season he squeezed in two matches in 4th Grade taking 5 for 9 in one of those to destroy Manly and win the game almost
single-handedly. This season he played in 2nd Grade in a rare appearance in round 6 scoring 39 at no.9 when runs were at a
premium before opening the bowling to take 4-72 off 18.2 overs. He was immediately promoted to 1st Grade for the round 7 clash
against Easts at Waverley Oval where he took Man of the Match honours with a brilliant 5-32 off 10 overs. With the bat he was
caught behind third ball for no score in a match which was the side’s first losing game of the season.
No. 99 Alex Kemp: Alex joined us from the Redlands club in Brisbane. A right hand opening bat, the 26 year old played six first
class games for Queensland in 2012. He made his debut with Randwick Petersham in round 8 against Sydney University at Uni. 1
making 12 runs off 21 balls batting at no. 4. The match was won by 59 runs.
The 2014-15 Grade Season in Summary
Round 1 v Campbelltown-Camden (2 Day matches)
Sats. 27 Sept-4 Oct 2014
1st Grade: won by 5 wkts @ Coogee--5-292 to 283 (lost toss): At 3-235 with a century-maker blazing RPC looked in all sorts of trouble.
After Nathan Ellis had the first three wickets Brandon McLean chimed in to take three quick ones enabling the speedmen to finish. The Ghosts
had lost 7-48 with Ellis (3-78), McLean (3-30) and Daniel Sams (2-45) the best. Newcomer Tom Jagot (13 off 71 balls) and Jake Scicluna (34 off
86) were solid in a 57 opening stand. But day 2 saw Nathan Price (86) and Shaun Eaton (76) take command with 158 for the third wicket to
ensure the win.
2nd Grade: won by 45 runs @ Raby 1—7-306 dec. to 261 (lost toss): Sent in with rain about it was all John McLoughlin who posted
135 while Nick Charlwood (48) was solid. At 4-221 The Ghosts were well on target but when James Tyson (2-45) struck it sparked a collapse
with newcomer Sam Doggett (3-55) cashing in before Hayden McLean ended the chase with a run-out.
3rd Grade: lost by 87 runs @ Petersham—104 & 2-27 to 191 & 1-135 dec. (lost toss): Sam Wood (5-43) and Rod Stafford (3-58)
bowled well but runs flowed steadily. But the run chase was uninspiring with only Ben Stares (22) and Stafford (21) passing 20 with the last
four wickets adding just four runs.
4th Grade: lost by 1 wkt @ Raby 2—139 to 9-142 (lost toss): A poor start to be 6-36 after being sent in. Matt Hilder (63*) was the
saviour with Cooper Smith (26) and Rehaan Nawaz (21) fighting hard. At 4-39 The Ghosts were struggling and at 9-123 with 17 to get we were
favourites before they edged their way to the target. Andrew Sprowls (3-30), Tom Evans (3-37) and Smith (2-18) bowled well.
5th Grade: won by 2 wkts @ Kensington—104 to 76 & 7-177 (won toss): All six bowlers shared the wickets as The Ghosts crashed
from 2-39 to 76 all out (Nathan Stares 2-2) and Cam Fowler (2-4) after being sent in. In reply RPC was struggling and when Rimmer went it was
8-73 with four to get. However, David Lillyman (11) and Armaan Nawaz (13) saw the side through.
Round 2 v Hawkesbury (2 Day matches)
Sats. 11-18 Oct 2014
1st Grade: won by 3 wkts @ Coogee—7-335 to 252 (lost toss): After having the Hawks 2-4, a 160 run partnership put them on top until
Jake Wilson (3-30) and Brandon McLean (1-46) made a double breakthrough. From there it was all downhill as the last 6 wickets fell for 48 with
Daniel Sams (3-21) grabbing the last 3 for just 4 runs. In reply we were in trouble at 6-127 despite a solid 66 from Nathan Price. That set the
scene for a new club and 1st Grade record for the 7th wicket when Anthony Sams (105 off 113 balls) and young brother Daniel (82 off 130) put
on 183 to take the win.
2nd Grade: lost by 116 runs @ Owen Earle—161 & 6-183 to 277 (lost toss): In perfect batting conditions the bowlers did well to pull
Hawkesbury back to 8-222 before the last two added 55 for a total of 277. Jack Preddey did best with 4-73 off 18 overs while Sam Doggett and
Ben Nethersole chimed in with 2-50 each. In the run chase UK newcomer Ryan Higgins did well with 46 while skipper John McLoughlin scored
42. Only Hayden McLean (25) made any real contribution among the lower order for a disappointing loss.
3rd Grade: lost by 33 runs @ Petersham—169 to 202 (lost toss): With Andrew Sprowls (3-57), Sam Wood (2-52) and Rob Huxley (2-14)
striking early, RPC was well on top at 8-100. However, with no. 9 slogging 68 before a timely run-out, an additional 102 took them to 202. In
reply we were looking OK at 3-101 but lost the last seven wickets for 68. Adam Docos (30), Jack Lyle (29) and Rob Huxley (37) did best.
4th Grade: won by 108 runs @ Bensons Lane 2—265 to 157 (won toss): With Karl Schubert (64) and Nathan Stares (65) in good form
we were 2-174. A hiccup in the middle order didn’t deter no. 9 Rehaan Nawaz who struck 40* for a solid total of 265. The Hawks were never in
the hunt with Nawaz (3-26) grabbing 3 wickets for just 14 to have them 4-69. Tom Evans (3038) and Will McGrane (2-15 off 12) did well.
5th Grade: won by 2 wkts @ Kensington—158 to 131 (lost toss): Despite the ideal batting conditions all six bowlers shared in the spoils
with Sam Muir (3-32), Grant Rimmer (2-18) and Karthigan Balasubramaniam (2-36) doing best. In response the batting was shaky until Nathan
Stares (52*) batting at 7 settled things down to see the side pass the target 8 down. Davi d Lillyman with 35 was next best.
Round 3 v Penrith (2 Day matches)
Sats. 25 Oct-1 Nov 2014
1st Grade: drawn @ Howell—6-282 to 9-369 dec. (won toss): Sending in the Panthers backfired with all bowlers being knocked around
with Jake Wilson (3-56) and Nathan Ellis (3-65) the best. With nine overs to face on day 1 we lost Tom Jagot to finish 1-11. A huge storm
stopped play day 2 with us 5-181 (Adam Semple 54*). After many hours delay we had to face 12 overs in the gloom during which time Semple
took his score to 104*(136 balls with 18 fours and a six) and another 101 runs were scored. Nathan Price hit 53 earlier.
2nd Grade: won by 8 wkts @ Coogee—4-282 dec. & 0-12 to 117 & 189 (won toss) A total of 399 runs were scored day 1 leaving
Penrith 165 behind on the first innings after Sam Doggett recorded the fifth best -ever figures of 7-46 to knock them over for just 117. Nine
sixes were hit by our bats as Scott Sharma in his first game for the club hit 67 off 50 balls with 3 sixes; Suffan Hassan smashed 60 off 61; Nick
Charlwood at the top of the order scored 60 off 95 while Ryan Higgins grabbed 48 with 3 sixes off just 31 balls! All in 46 overs for 4-282. Day 2
brought early wickets to Hayden McLean (3-17 off 10 overs) while Ryan Higgins took 3-37 in the middle and Jack Preddey (3-44) at the end.
With 25 needed for an outright Charlwood smashed a quickfire 10 off the 10 balls bowled before a huge electric storm brought an early end.
3rd Grade: tied @ Bill Ball—8-265 dec. to 265 (lost toss): Sent in, our bats were on fire with Karl Schubert (41) and Adam Docos (25)
opening with 59, the first of four 50 plus partnerships. Jack Lyle (70) did best while there were five other scores between 24 and 34. In reply,
Rob Huxley took three quick wickets and Sam Wood another and the score slumped from 0-31 to 4-39. But at 6-196 there was a chance of an
upset until Wood returned to the crease grabbing another three to have them 9-228. With the last man hanging on the no.6 bat went on the
attack and was on 156* when Wood struck again to have the last man lbw with the scores equal and an exciting tied result. Woo d finished
with 5-38 and Huxley 3-47. It was only the second time 3rd Grade has played a tied game.
4th Grade: won by 33 runs @ Petersham—223 to 190 (won toss): Nikethan Radhakrishnan showed great skill in compiling 78 (10
fours) and with Cooper Smith (37 with 6 fours) doing well at the tail a competitive score was set. However, the Panthers put on 90 before Tom
Evans struck twice but at 2-137 they were still well on track. However, a magnificent spell by young pace bowler Will McGrane brought four
wickets in a hurry while Evans returned to mop up. McGrane (4-30 off 20 overs) and Evans (5-60 off 16.3) were the wicket-takers.
5th Grade: lost by 35 runs @ Rance—99 to 134 & 5-58 (won toss): Asked to bat first the Panthers did it tough against the swing and
swerve of Nigil Singh whose 6-24 off 15.5 took him past 350 wickets for the club while Grant Rimmer took 3-35. At 1-47 we were well on track
but lost 9 for 52 with the final 3 going for nought. Only Jason McLean (40) and Lasith Fernando (22) made double figures.
Round 4 v North Sydney (2 Day matches)
Sats. 8-15 Nov 2014
1st Grade: won by 132 runs @ North Sydney—9-355 dec. to 223 (lost toss): It was a bonus being sent in in perfect conditions and the
batsmen didn’t miss. Jake Scicluna batted brilliantly for 111 off 235 balls with 16 fours. Shaun Eaton did well with 61 (125) enabling Adam
Semple (48 off 28 with five fours and three sixes) and Anthony Sams (62 off 52) to cash in at the end for an impressive total . Early wickets to
Jake Wilson (3-28) and Nathan Ellis (2-66) put North’s on the back foot at 3-30. However, when a fight-back 98 run partnership was broken by
Ellis it caused a batting slide with 6 wickets falling for 52. A last wicket effort of 43 was broken by Brandon McLean (1-7) to give us the points.
2nd Grade: won by 207 runs @ Coogee—305 to 98 & 3-127 (won toss): Ryan Higgins cut loose with an explosive 134 (? balls) to put
the Bears on the back foot. Suffan Hassan then cashed in with 87* to get the total past the magic 300 mark. In reply it was the Sam Doggett (542) and Ben Nethersole (4-13) show as they demolished the last 7 wickets for just 34. Hayden McLean (1-??) brought up his 100th wicket. In
the second dig much more resolve was shown and apart from Ryan Higgins grabbing 2-7 there was little to cheer about. A comprehensive win.
3rd Grade: won by 133 runs @ Bon Andrews—7-281 dec. to 148 (won toss): Skipper Rod Stafford had no hesitation in batting first.
Jack Lyle (74) and Kushaal Ram (53) led the way early, before veteran Matty Hilder (50*) and Rehaan Nawaz (29*) put the finishing touches on
the innings to see RPC well placed at 7-281 at stumps. In the run chase it was a steady flow of wickets falling to the spin of Rod Stafford (6-59)
and the pace of James Tyson (3-42) as the side recorded a commanding victory.
4th Grade: lost by 8 wkts @ Petersham—190 to 3-200 (won toss): Skipper David Bourke won the toss and batted on a good looking
strip, but a stop start innings saw RPC dismissed for 190 after 65.3 overs. Chris Singh (51) was the backbone of the innings, while Josh James
(29) and Ash Burton (20) also got starts. Jade Murdita took the first wicket at 35 but when the second fell at 123 the writing was on the wall for
the side to suffer its second greatest wickets defeat.
5th Grade: lost by 5 wkts @ Tunks—94 & 153 to 176 (won toss): After 24 minutes the score had raced to 40 but when Jason McLean
(20 off 19 balls) and Sam Muir (29 off 29) went the last 8 wickets fell for just 33 with Lasith Fernando the only other one making double figures
with 15. But at 5-44 we were in with a sniff until a 104 run partnership sealed our fate. Grant Rimmer took 7-43 off 20.2 overs. Sam Muir’s 31
and Lasith Fernando with 42 were best in the second dig.
Round 5 v Northern District (2 Day matches)
Sats. 22-29 Nov 2014
This round was cancelled prior to the start of Day 2 as a tribute to Phillip Hughes who tragically died on 27 November after
being struck while batting in the Sheffield Shield match against South Australia at the Sydney Cricket Ground on Tuesday 25
November 2014. All matches were declared to be a draw irrespective of whether a result had been achieved on Day 1.
1st Grade: drawn @ Petersham---2-8 to 321 (lost toss): Losing the toss on a hot, perfect batting day set ND’s up for a good score. It was
a reasonable start to have them 3-84 but a 185 partnership for the fourth wicket gave them the advantage. We did well to take the last 6
wickets for 52 with Nathan Ellis (3-53) and Daniel Sams (352) best of the bowlers.
2nd Grade: drawn @ Mark Taylor—175 to 9-71 (won toss): At 6-60 odd we were in dire straits until Jarryd Biviano with a majestic 83
not out put some respectability into the score. At 1-33 ND’s were looking comfortable until Sam Doggett took two wickets on 33 triggering a
collapse that caused 8 wickets to fall for 37 to have them teetering 9 down at stumps. The day 2 cancellation appeared to den y a certain
victory over a side running second in the comp. Doggett recorded his third 5 wicket haul with 5-24 off 12 while Hayden McLean took 2-23.
3rd Grade: drawn @ Coogee—144 to 1-36 (won toss): Our batsmen failed to take advantage of the perfect batting conditions with a
steady fall of wickets after the openers put on 31. At 8-107 it was left to Sam Wood to top-score with 22 supported by Andrew Sprowls who
batted 65 minutes for 8 in a partnership of 37 to get the total to 144. Sam Wood (1-15) also grabbed the wicket to fall.
4th Grade: drawn @ Asquith---93 to 4-178 (won toss): A poor batting performance with a 10th wicket partnership of 24 the best to get
to a meagre total of 93. Sam Muir made 24 and David Bourke 21. ND’s passed the total one down.
5th Grade: drawn @ Kensington—9-208 (lost toss): Sent in to bat proved a blessing with Harry Towler (44) and Elliott Oates (62) in his
first game in 5’s cashing in. It was the team’s best score of the season.
Round 6 v St George (2 Day matches)
Sats. 6 -13 Dec 2014
1st Grade: won by 42 runs @ Petersham—9-284 dec. to 242 (lost toss): Sent in to bat with Usman Khawaja back with us turned sour
when the umpires abandoned play due to the unfit state of the pitch with the score 2-45. Day 2 saw a better prepared pitch with Sam Doggett,
making his 1st Grade debut in place of the unavailable Khawaja slamming 65 off 71 balls to top-score. Another new chum Ryan Higgins also did
well with 64 off 70 and a competitive total was posted. Wilson (1-55) and Ellis (3-39) struck early to have them 2-4 but a 103 partnership
before it was broken by Nick Stapleton (1-31) put Saints on track. However, it was skipper Adam Semple to the rescue to take 4-32 and break
the back of the batting where the last 6 wickets produced just 46.
2nd Grade: lost by 1 wkt @ Hurstville—236 to 9-237(lost toss): Sent in to bat we were 3-23 until a 108 partnership by Tom Jagot (50)
and skipper John McLoughlin (70) got the side back on track. Some solid contributions by the second half of the batting with no.9 Henry
Thornton’s 39 the best. In reply Saints were looking good at 3-170 until Soumil Chhibber (2-22 off 17 overs) and Jack Preddey (2-55 off 18)
combined with Thornton (4-72) to reduce them to 9-215. But with the no. 4 remaining 75* there was resolve from the no.11 and they got the
required 22 for victory. A real blow as the win would have put us on top instead of 6th.
3rd Grade: lost by 9 wkts @ Coogee—171 to 1-172 (won toss): At none for 75 we were looking good. But when Alex Sciascia (47) and
Adam Docos (28) went, the wheels fell off with only skipper Rod Stafford (36 with 3 sixes) adding any real value. In the run chase it was “easy
meat” with Saints cruising to a 9 wickets win. This was a new wickets loss record for a single innings. The previous being by Campbelltown in
2005-06 which was also nine wickets but the scores were lower (138 to 1-140).
4th Grade: lost by 77 runs @ Harold Fraser—181 to 7-258 dec. (won toss): Sending the Saints in proved to be the wrong call as they
dominated day 1. Josh James (2-61) and Nathan Stares (2-67 off 28 overs) toiled manfully. Barton Lynch (48) and Jason Magro (41) were the
best of the bats in a struggling response.
5th Grade: won by 11 runs @ Kensington—151 to 140 (lost toss): Sent in to bat looked a good decision with only Stuart Parsons (40)
and James Mahony-Brack (50) providing any real batting backbone. In reply however, Saints were under continual pressure from the bowl ers
with Cooper Smith (2-18), Sam Muir (2-44), Nigil Singh (2-21) and Grant Rimmer (3-35) who went past the 300 wickets mark the best.
Round 7 v Eastern Suburbs (limited overs matches)
LOST ALL FIVE MATCHES
Sat. 20 Dec 2014
1st Grade: lost by 102 runs (1 BONUS PT) @ Waverley —116 to 8-218cc (won toss): Sending Easts in looked a good decision with
both state players Neville and Maddinson out with just 64 on the board. Four quick wickets to debutante Henry Thornton saw the side
teetering at 6-124. However, some determined resistance saw another 94 put on from the final 24 overs to post a target over 200. Thornton
celebrated with 5-32 off 10 overs while Nathan Price chipped in with 2-15. In the run chase, Easts opening bowler Yazdani who has caused us
some grief in the past grabbed four quick wickets and soon we were 5-26. Price was making a good fist of it but when he went for 49 the score
was 6-81. Only Anthony Sams (30) and Soumil Chhibber (19*) provided any fight-back and the side went down for the first time this season.
2nd Grade: lost by 1 wkt @ Petersham—236 to 6-243cc (lost toss): Wickets were hard to come by in perfect batting conditions but
when Jack Preddey (2-40 off 10 overs) grabbed two wickets in the space of nine runs to have them 4-121 off 28, we were well in it. However, a
partnership of 120 gave Easts the upper hand despite two wickets falling in the last three balls of the innings. We were off to a flyer in
response and at 2-176 with 12 overs left to get 67 it looked all over for Easts. But when Tom Jagot went for 74 and Suffan Hassan for 37 in the
space of seven runs it was all downhill with the final eight wickets falling for just 48 runs for a 19 runs loss.
3rd Grade: lost by 5 wkts @ Trumper—166 to 5-171 (won toss): We struggled from the start after winning the toss with only Tom
Holland (33) offering any real resistance in the first half of the order. Skipper Rod Stafford added a hard-hitting 38 towards the end to get the
score past 150. An early wicket and two more with the score 69 gave us some hope but with 32 extras including 20 wides Easts were able to
coast home. Rob Huxley with 2-29 was best of the bowlers.
4th Grade: lost by 7 wkts (1 BONUS PT) @ Coogee—8-193cc to 3-194 (won toss): Skipper David Bourke won his sixth toss in a row
and elected to bat first on a flat Coogee Oval strip. An opening partnership of 90 got the side off to a great start, but the loss of Karl Schubert
for a powerful 54 saw the innings stall, with only Nikki Radhakrishnan (30) and Bart Lynch (28) making any real contributions as the side limped
to 8-193 after 50 overs. The Easts run chase got off to a flying start, and despite the best efforts of Nathan Stares (2 -56 from 9 overs), Easts
cruised to the total for the loss of 3 wickets gaining a bonus point in the process.
5th Grade: lost by 96 runs (1 BONUS PT) @ Kensington—84 to 9-180cc (lost toss): With Easts 5-81 we were entitled to feel well on
top. However a rally by the second half did well to post a competitive 180. Stand-in skipper Grant Rimmer took 3-42 with Sam Muir 2-27. In
response it was a reasonable start at 1-31 but the wheels well and truly fell off with the next nine wickets tumbling for just 53. James MahonyBrack did best with 28. Easts were able to gain a bonus point bowling us out in just 34 overs.

Round 8 v Sydney University (limited overs matches)
Sat. 10 Jan 2015
1st Grade: won by 59 runs @ Uni.1—8-236cc to 177 (lost toss): Sent in to bat Ryan Higgins made a good start with 32 supported by
Nathan Price (19) and debutante Alex Kemp (12). At 5-86 we were shaky but a 110 runs partnership between Adam Semple (56 off 75 balls
with four sixes) and Shaun Eaton (54 off 77) soon righted the ship. Nick Stapleton then smashed 16 off 13 to leave us with a competitive 236
target. Uni.’s NSW opener Nick Larkin fell for seven to Daniel Sams who also claimed Robertson for two while Stapleton got captain Greg Mail
for a duck to have them reeling at 3-28. However, our perennial bogeyman Scott Henry (85) was at it again and he and Faraday put on 112
before Nathan Ellis (3-29 off 10 overs) removed both and Stapleton grabbed three in a row to give him 4-38 off 10. Ellis and Daniel Sams (3-21
off 7.3) then cleaned up for a hollow victory.
2nd Grade: lost by 5 wkts @ Petersham—77 to 5-79 (won toss): Brandon McLean (36) settled the side after the loss of two early
wickets but when he went with the score on 46 it signalled a slide which was hard to fathom. The next seven wickets fell for just 31 to register
the side’s worst score of the season and the first under 100. In reply the student’s didn’t have it all their own way against the pace of Hayden
McLean and Ben Nethersole who reduced them to 4-11. At 5-30 there was still a sniff but that was the last of the good news as an unbroken 49
for the sixth wicket saw Uni. home with a bonus point to boot. McLean (4-30 off eight overs) and Nethersole (1-23 off six) gave it their all.
3rd Grade: lost by 4 wkts @ St Pauls—150 to 6-151 (lost toss): Sent in to bat we lost four wickets with the score on 14. Three more
quickly followed to see us 7-43. However, a rally by Sam Doggett (22) and James Tyson (16) complemented stand-in skipper Rob Huxley who
went on to make a fighting 54 not out and give the side something to bowl at. And the bowlers responded with Andrew Sprowls (2-19)
grabbing two quick ones. And when Ben Mitchell (2-26 off 10 overs) took two in smart time there was a slight chance of an upset although it
was soon snuffed out by a dogged partnership to pass the target.
4th Grade: lost by 164 runs @ Coogee—128 to 5-292cc (lost toss): Unfortunately this was a new record single innings loss for 4th
Grade breaking the record 130 run loss to Bankstown in 2013-14. Uni. put on 146 for the first wicket and it was all downhill for us after that.
Four bowlers shared the wickets with Nathan Stares 1-41 off 10 the best. Only Will Lawrance with 44 batting at no.6 made a score above 11 in
the run chase. A disappointing result.
5th Grade: won by 3 wkts @ Camperdown—7-112 to 111 (won toss): Sending Uni. in paid handsome dividends with a regular stream
of wickets and only three batsman making double figures. Oshanka Perera (3-13 off 7 overs), Grant Rimmer (2-14) and Darren Smith (2-21)
were the main destroyers. In reply only Grade Cricket debutante Nathan Shepherd (12) among the top five bats got past 10 as the score
crashed to a perilous 5-35. Darren Smith (12) went at 70 but then Cooper Smith hit a personal best of 42 with David Lillyman (18*) to put on 40
and within two runs of the win which was quickly achieved for an important victory.
Round 9 v Mosman (limited overs matches)
Sat. 17 Jan 2015
1st Grade: lost by 4 runs @ Coogee—9-196 to 200 (lost toss): Early wickets to Daniel Sams, Nick Stapleton and Nathan Price aided by a
run-out had the Whales struggling at 5-85. However a stubborn 68 runs partnership between former RP keeper Ash Doolan and skipper Mark
Day (82) held us up before Sams (3-34) and Adam Semple (3-46) had them out for a gettable 200. In the run chase we were doing it well at 294 but the middle order crashed losing 5-30 to see us in trouble at 7-124. Jake Scicluna (30) looked like rescuing the side but when he went at
155 it was left to Stapleton (22) and Soumil Chhibber (22*) who put on 41 to see the 50 overs up with 4 runs to get. A disappointing loss.
2nd Grade: lost by 125 runs @ Allan Border—105 to 235 (lost toss): Hayden McLean grabbed a wicket third ball to have them 1-0 but
that was the last of the good news as the Whales bats piled on the runs. At 2-112 and 4-177 it looked like a 300 runs chase but good bowling
by Mclean (4-26) and big brother Brandon McLean (3-39) restricted them to a reasonable total. In reply, we were never in the hunt losing
wickets regularly with only no. 9 Hayden McLean (29) and Jarryd Biviano (19) showing any resolve. A poor batting effort in id eal conditions.
3rd Grade: won by 46 runs @ Petersham—191 to 145 (won toss): Two half-century partnerships provided the backbone of the innings
with Tom Holland (23) and Kushaal Ram (52) putting on 55 for the fourth wicket and Rehaan Nawaz (18) and Rod Stafford (42 wit h four sixes)
knocking up 54 for the seventh. James Tyson (3-40) quickly struck form with the ball to grab three quick wickets with Ben Mitchell (3-23 off 10
overs) cutting a swathe through the middle order. With Stafford (1-27) and Andrew Sprowls (1-20) chipping in plus two run-outs it was all over.
4th Grade: lost by 2 wkts @ Rawson—7-233cc to 8-234 (won toss): Conceding 54 extras including 28 wides didn’t help the cause with
Mosman getting up with just four balls to spare. Earlier Ben Stares had batted beautifully to carry his bat through the innin gs for a return of
101 not out off 143 balls with 11 fours. He and Chris Singh (43) put on 105 for the first wicket to set up the team’s second best total of the
summer. Early wickets to Josh James (3-60), Jack James (2-40) and Jaya Murdita (1-34) put us in a good position before the experience of
veteran Warwick Adlam (52) steered his side home in the dying moments of the game aided by the huge extras total.
5th Grade: won by 7 wkts @ Kensington—3-151 to 7-150cc (lost toss): Up against the competition leaders posed no threat as the side
recorded a great win. Tight bowling restricted Mosman to just 150 off their 50 overs with Grant Rimmer (3-25 off 10 overs) hard to get away.
Cam Fowler (1-16 off 6) was best of the rest but all bowled well. In reply we lost three bats for less than seven runs apiece but it was the Stuart
Parsons Show as he smashed an impressive 105 not out off just 117 balls with 11 fours. He and Luis Siddall (21*) put on 97 for the win.
Round 10 v Gordon (limited overs matches)
Sat. 24 Jan 2015
1st Grade: won by 77 runs @ Coogee—8-263cc to 186 (won toss): A rare toss win for Adam Semple saw Nathan Price (30) and
Anthony Sams (39) put on 50 for the second wicket before they both departed with the score 3-86. Alex Kemp (83 off 82 balls with 2 fours and
4 sixes) then showed his style with Daniel Sams (57 off 65 with 2 fours and 3 sixes) as they put on 128. A quick-fire 30 to Semple (15 balls with
3 sixes) set an imposing target. The Stags were on track at 3-169 but when Nathan Ellis (3-47 off 9 overs) struck twice in quick succession, he
and Nick Stapleton (3-37 off 9.3) put the issue beyond doubt as Gordon lost its last 7 wickets for just 17 runs.
2nd Grade: won by 7 runs @ Chatswood—170 to 9-163cc (won toss): A 51 opening partnership from Tom Jagot (25) and Jarryd
Biviano (21) set the scene for a good score but the loss of four quick wickets saw the total a shaky 4-82. Suffan Hassan (21) and skipper John
McLoughlin (43) combined for 42 before the last 6 folded for 46 to leave a gettable 170 on a hot day. But it was James Tyson at his best
grabbing 3 wickets for 13 to have Gordon reeling at 3-29. And at 6-77 RPC was well in control. However, a couple of late rallies with 56 put on
for the eighth wicket threatened to upset the party until Jack Preddey (1-33) broke through with 11 needed. With 10 to win off the last over
Sam Wood (2-17) took a wicket first ball then restricted the batting to just two more off the five remaining balls. Tyson finished 3-24 off 10.
3rd Grade: lost by 59 runs @ Petersham—142 to 7-201cc (lost toss): With Gordon 4-54 and 5-94 we had the upper hand before a
middle-order rally put on 107 for two wickets. In the run-chase only Grade debutante and A W Green Shield youngster Tyzac Bailey showed
any fight top-scoring with 35 with the reliable duo Karl Schubert (32) and skipper Rod Stafford (27) in his 200th match for the club scoring well.
4th Grade: lost by 9 wkts @ Killara—9-212cc to 1-214 (won toss): Batting at 3-35 A W Green Shield youngster Will Lawrance hit a
spectacular 93 with 8 fours and 3 sixes to build a solid total. Chris Singh did well with 39. In reply however, not one of the nine bowlers was
able to take a wicket as the only one to fall was a run-out with the target overtaken in 38 overs. The losing margin was a new 4th Grade record.
5th Grade: lost by 2 wkts @ Kensington—135 to 8-136 (won toss): A great start at 2-95 but 3 wickets fell on that score and another 3
runs later to be 6-98. Darren Smith (18) was the only batsman to complement Stuart Parsons (52) in a disappointing total. A solid start by
Gordon with the top two contributing 67 but a middle-order collapse gave us some hope before they fell across the line 8 down. The extras
total of 29 with 24 wides was the teams’ worst this season and may have been the difference between the sides.
Round 11 v Blacktown (2 Day 1st Grade; 50 overs matches lowers)
Sat/Sun 31 Jan / 1 Feb 2015
1st Grade: lost by 54 runs @ Joe McAleer—269 to 323 (lost toss): An opening partnership of 152 before a scoreline of 3-250 mid-
afternoon looked like we would be chasing more than 400. However, a great fightback by the bowlers to take 7-73 at the end left us with a
solid chase on the Sunday. Seven bowlers shared the wickets with eight fielders holding nine catches. At 4-92 in reply we were struggling
before Anthony Sams and Adam Semple got together with a partnership of 74. But both were gone at 194, Sams out for 114 made of 223 balls.
Of the tail, Shaun Eaton with 57 got the score to 7-249 and it looked like game on before the last three wickets fell for 20 and it was all over.
2nd Grade: won by 7 runs @ Coogee—8-244 to 237 (won toss): Brandon McLean (70) batted well to set up a good score which was
complemented by an 83 run partnership for the sixth wicket by Nick Charlwood (54) and captain John McLoughlin (54). Brandon McLean
continued his good form with the ball taking 3-45 off 10 overs supported by Sam Wood (2-43) and James Tyson (1-33) grabbing an important
wicket at the end before the third run-out of the day brought victory on the second-last ball of the match.
3rd Grade: won by 1 wkt @ Jim Hanshaw—9-95 to 94 (won toss): The day belonged to nos. 10 and 11 at the batting crease—Tom
Evans (5*) and Andrew Sprowls (3*) who took the score from 9-86 chasing 94 to 9-95 and a win! Earlier Sam Doggett (5-18 off 5 overs: 4
bowled; 1 lbw) and Kushaal Ram (3-10 off 7) destroyed Blacktown for just 94 despite conceding 28 extras. Only Jack Lyle (40) and Doggett (12)
made double figures with seven scores of six and under before the final partnership won the day.
4th Grade: won by 5 wkts @ Petersham—5-160 to 159 (won toss): Sending them in proved a bonus as Jaya Murdita (4-38 off 8 overs)
quickly hit his straps to snare four wickets. With two wickets to each of Cam Fowler (2-22) and Oshanka Perera (2-33) and a couple of run-outs
Blacktown were out for a gettable total with one over to spare. In the run chase, five back in the pavilion with only 68 on the board was not
the ideal start. However, Barton Lynch (73*) and Jack James (39*) put on an unconquered 92 to grab the win with seven overs in the bank.
5th Grade: won by 6 wkts @ Whalan 2—4-122 to 121 +1 Bonus Point (won toss): With Blacktown at 7-38 it looked like a quick game
before the tail wagged to get to 121. Darren Smith (3-30), Nigil Singh (2-19), Cooper Smith (2-32) and Kyriakos Tsalikidis (2-19) shared the
wickets. With Stuart Parsons (32) and Luis Siddall (42) hitting out a win was achieved with a much-needed bonus point.
Round 12 v Bankstown (2 Day matches)
Sats. 7-14 Feb 2015
1st Grade: won by 85 runs @ Petersham—8-413 dec to 328 (lost toss): At 4-113 Bankstown’s decision to bowl looked a good one.
However, the next 4 wickets put on 300 to finish with our third-best-ever score in 1st Grade which included 52 fours and 9 sixes. Nick
Stapleton (88); Adam Semple (76); Jake Scicluna (64); and Shaun Eaton (45) did best with the bat. An early wicket to Ellis was followed by a 123
run partnership before the young quick (2-75) struck again. However, the Bulldogs dug deep until Shaun Eaton (2-13) and Daniel Sams (3-71)
reduced them to 6-259. Skipper Semple (3-50) joined in towards the end with a storm threatening to see the last 4 wickets down for 28.
2nd Grade: lost by 75 runs @ Bankstown—270 to 345 (won toss): Three early wickets to Sam Doggett and one to Jack Preddey quickly
reduced the Bulldogs to 4-94. However, as it was in 1st Grade the middle order responded and the next 3 wickets cost 201. With the tail hitting
out the final score left us with a real challenge. Doggett (4-45 off 14 overs) and Preddey (4-106 off 23) did best with the ball. At 6-142 in reply it
looked like an early finish but Suffan Hassan hung in for over 4 hours for 80 off 193 balls. Ben Nethersole (29) and Sam Wood (25) also did well
after Scott Sharma hit a good 38 but the total was too big a target.
3rd Grade: won by 10 runs @ Coogee—151 to 141 (won toss): A disappointing batting display was only helped along by Rod Stafford
(42), Karl Schubert (24) and Ben Mitchell (24) and with Bankstown 3-94 by the end of play on day 1 it looked an uphill battle. At 5-126 they
were well on the way until Stafford and Rob Huxley combined to take the last 5 for 15 including the last 4 for 2 to record an outstanding
victory. Stafford finished with 6-39 off 21 overs; Huxley 2-31 off 16.3; while Andrew Sprowls who did the early damage took 2-54 off 10.
4th Grade: lost outright by 10 wkts @ Jensen—57 & 124 to 3-178 dec & 0-4 (won toss): David Bourke set some sort of a record by
winning his 10th straight toss. However it wasn’t enough for the team to record its greatest-ever loss. The previous worst losing margin for 4th
Grade was an outright by 6 wickets in 2001-02 when Manly trounced us. No-one passed 11 in the first innings while in the second it took a new
record 10th wicket partnership of 73 to put some respectability into the score. Coming together at 9-51 Jaya Murdita (54) and Cam Fowler
(20*) smashed the bowling to rattle up the 73 in just 22 minutes.
5th Grade: won outright by 10 wkts @ Kensington—161 & 0-23 to 50 & 133 (lost toss): It was the greatest winning margin ever
recorded for the club’s 5th Grade team-an outright win by 10 wickets! The complete opposite to 4th Grade. On day 1 Grant Rimmer (4-4) and
Nigil Singh (4-25 went through the Bulldogs for 50. In the run-chase, Stuart Parsons (56) and Harry Towler (28) both looked positive from the
outset and the target was passed in the 14th over. Cooper Smith also looked in fine touch hitting five boundaries and a six in his 48. In the
second dig they got to 2-123 before Nigil Singh struck taking 6-10 off 16.5 overs. Kyriakos Tsalikidis chipped in with 2-30 and the ‘Dogs lost
their last 8 wickets for 10 runs! Parsons and Towler polished off the 23 needed in 4.5 overs for an historic victory.
Round 13 v Parramatta (1st Grade 2 Day /Limited overs lowers)
Sat/Sun 21-22 Feb 2015
1st Grade: drawn @ Old Kings—9-253 to 7-342 dec (won toss): Parra took every advantage in being asked to bat first on a day of odd
showers. Two quick wickets to Soumil Chhibber (2-56) had us in a reasonable position at 3-105. However, the Affleck brothers got together
and put on 130. Skipper Adam Semple (2-56) grabbed two late wickets to have them 7-289 at stumps day 1. A run-push day 2 saw another 53
added leaving us 88 overs to chase 343. It was a disastrous start with Scicluna, Price and Kemp out for 35. The Sams brothers, Anthony (38)
and Daniel (26) did well as did Semple (29) but at 8-141 it looked “curtains”. However, Chhibber (20 off 36) and Brandon McLean got together
in a 49 runs partnership before Nathan Ellis joined McLean at 9-190. Over the next 83 minutes the two produced some brilliant cricket. There
was attack by McLean early (7 fours and four sixes) while Ellis “hung in.” The new ball was taken at 9 -235 with 9 overs to go but the two
remained defiant. Showing outstanding resolve, they frustrated their opposition holding on for a remarkable draw. McLean finished with 75*
off 103 balls in 134 minutes while Ellis scored 13* off 62 in 83 minutes with one boundary. A game to remember for fighting spirit.
2nd Grade: lost by 7 wkts @ Coogee—108 to 3-110 (won toss): Deciding to bat first, it was backs to the wall very quickly with the top
three back in the sheds with just 20 on the board. It was a struggle after that with Captain John McLoughlin’s 18 off 30 balls the top score.
With a small target in their sights the Eels were never out of second gear to take the points and A BONUS POINT in just 20 overs. Jack Preddey
with 2-39 off 5 overs was the only successful bowler.
3rd Grade: lost by 2 wkts @ Merrylands—150 to 8-151 (lost toss): With Parra struggling at 7-38 after James Tyson (4-20); Rehaan
Nawaz (2-25) and Rob Huxley (1-15) got stuck in, it looked all over. However, a 95 runs partnership in 109 minutes then another unconquered
18 spoilt the party with RPC going down with 10 balls left in the match. Earlier we pulled off a similar recovery after being 7-75 when Rod
Stafford (30) and Nawaz (35*) put on 66 (third best for the season) to stretch the total to an ordinary 150 which was close to being defended.
4th Grade: lost by 10 runs @ Petersham—97 to 107 (won toss): The decision to send Parra in after skipper David Bourke won his 11th
successive toss looked a good one at 4-39. And even though the Eels managed to get to 91 before losing another wicket Tom Evans (3-5) and
Oshanka Perera (2-9), assisted by a run-out, sent the last six back to the pavilion for the addition of only 16 runs. Jaya Murdita (4-37) had
bowled beautifully to inflict the early damage. In the run chase it was a familiar sight with 5 down for 41. Joshua James tried hard with 26 off
33 balls with 2 fours and a six but he was ninth out at 80. Last pair Evans and Andrew Sprowls batted for 45 minutes for 17 but ended 10 short.
5th Grade: lost by 3 wkts @ Mona Park 3—124 to 7-125 (won toss): Electing to bat first looked a good decision at 2-65 but then the
wheels fell off with only Nathan Stares (50) getting past Ash Burton’s 12 as the last 8 fell for 60. Early inroads by Cooper Smith (2-25), Darren
Smith (2-30) and Omair Ali (1-16) having his first bowl in Grade Cricket had the Eels reeling at 5-61. However, a 40 runs partnership tilted the
momentum their way and despite Nathan Stares (2-12) chipping in with a couple of scalps the damage had been done with still 21 overs to go.
Round 14 v Sutherland (Limited Overs 1st Grade; 2 Day matches lowers)
Sat. 28 Feb/ 7 Mar 2015
1st Grade: lost by 1 run @ Glenn McGrath—217 to 218 (lost toss): Two wickets in Nathan Ellis’ first over was quickly followed by
another two from Daniel Sams to have the Sharks reeling at 4-14. And at 6-108 we were well on top. However, a rally by the tail saw 110 put
on by the last four. Sams (4-33) and Ellis (3-28) did the damage. In reply, top run-getter Anthony Sams was lbw first ball. Nathan Price was the
“rock” however, and at 3-157 it looked “how far”. The 93 run partnership between Price and Daniel Sams came to an end when Sams went for
47. Adam Semple followed for nought and Shaun Eaton for 8 but at 6-205 we remained well on top. Another three quick wickets turned the
tide however, and we needed two runs from three balls when Ellis was run out leaving Price high and dry on 97* to go down by one run. Losing
our last 4 wickets for 12 virtually brought our season to an end, dropping from 4th on the table to 8th. A disaster.
2nd Grade: won by 145 runs @ Petersham—235 to 90 & 3-165 (lost toss): Sent in to bat we were struggling at 5-74 until no.7 in the
batting order John McLoughlin (42), no. 8 Jack Preddey (41) and no. 9 Sam Doggett (52) strutted their stuff to get us to a very competitive 235.
In the run chase, Doggett (1-43) grabbed an early wicket but it was Hayden McLean who took five quick wickets to finish with 5-34 off 12 overs
and wrap up for 90. At 2-18 in the follow-on an outright was on the cards before the Sharks consolidated leaving us with a first innings win.
3rd Grade: won by 15 runs @ Sutherland—205 to 190 (won toss): At 3-178 the Sharks were coasting to an easy win with just 28 to get.
But Kushaal Ram (5-45 off 15 overs) and Rod Stafford (3-60 off 16.1) spun a web to take the last seven wickets for just 12 runs in 11 overs for a
great win! On day 1 we were looking good at 2-122 with Ben Stares (43) and Tom Holland (38) in control after Ram (30) gave the side a good
start. But losing the last eight wickets for 83 let Sutherland back in the game before our bowlers took charge in the dying moments.
4th Grade: lost by 9 wkts @ Coogee—66 & 6-137 to 6-144 dec (won toss): A good start to get to 27 but the whole 10 wickets then fell
for 39 to give us a paltry total of only 66 which was run down pretty quickly for the loss of one wicket. Kyri Tsalikidis (3-30 from 11 overs) and
Savio Gracis Flor (2-37 from 9 overs) kept the scoring in check before they declared six down. An outright loss looked on the cards at 6-71 but a
captain’s knock of 61* by David Bourke supported by Oshanka Perera saved the day. It was the team’s second 9 wickets loss this season.
5th Grade: won by 4 wkts @ Tonkin—7-159 dec to 100 & 6-83 (won toss): It was Nigil Singh at his best with 5-31 off 20.1 overs to put
the skids through the Sharks. He received great support from Cooper Smith (2-15 off 12) and Cam Fowler (2-27 off 8). The run chase didn’t go
as planned with 6 down for 89 after Harry Towler (38) made a good start. Cooper Smith (40) and Darren Smith (32*) however, put on 63) to
guide the side home. Singh (3-34) was the destroyer in the second dig but they couldn’t achieve the outright.
Round 15 v Uni. of NSW (limited overs)
WON ALL FIVE GRADES (GREENWASH)
Sat 14 March 2015
1st Grade: won by 40 runs @Coogee—162 to 122 (won toss): Batting first following a rare toss win wasn’t supported by a 2-15 score-
line with both openers gone. But the reliable Nathan Price (64 off 95 balls) held the side together while wickets fell around him. At 5-140 we
were back on track but the tail didn’t rally and the last 5 fell for 22. Chasing a gettable total the students were in command at 3-83 but wickets
in successive balls to Nathan Ellis (3-24 off 8 overs) created a sniff. Then just 13 runs later leg-spinner Brandon McLean (2-7 off 4) grabbed two
in the same over to have them reeling at 7-97. And when Price (1-8) removed another at 107, our 162 suddenly looked a long way off. A wicket
to Daniel Sams (1-14 off 7) before he effected a run-out of the second top-scorer wrapped them up. Sadly the win wasn’t enough to secure a
spot in the finals going down on quotient to Sydney University who shared sixth place with us.
2nd Grade: won by 28 runs @ Village Green—230 to 202 (lost toss): Being sent in to bat proved beneficial with Suffan Hassan (67)
taking full advantage supported by Tom Jagot (27) and Jack Preddey (47) late in the order. Sam Doggett (3-36), Sam Wood (2-21) and Nick
Charlwood (2-23) combined well to keep the students in check and record a solid win.
3rd Grade: won by 7 wkts @ Petersham—3-137 to 133 (won toss): Sending Uni. in to bat, our new ball bowlers quickly got amongst
the wickets and but for conceding 36 extras (including 28 wides), the students would have finished with far less than 133. Andrew Sprowls (322) and Jack Lyle (3-26) had the best figures. Adam Docos (29) and Ben Stares (43) quickly got the side into a winning position enabling Lyle
(27*) to finish off for the sides’ fourth win in the final five games.
4th Grade: won by 21 runs @ David Philips South—5-236cc to 215 (lost toss): With Skipper David Bourke losing the toss for the first
time in his last 13, we were sent in to bat in what proved a poor decision as our boys rattled up its second highest score of the season. Chris
Singh (31) and young Nikethan Radhakrishnan (65) gave the side a great start enabling Alex Sciascia (49) and Brett Hunter (brought in due to a
player shortage) showing he had lost little with a timely 28* with 2 fours and 2 sixes. But at 3-154 Uni. was well on the way to win until spin
duo Kyriakos Tsalikidis (3-29 off 10 overs) and Hunter (2-33 off 9.4) combined to wrap them up for a great win.
5th Grade: won by 4 wkts @ Kensington—6-108 to 107 (won toss): Being sent in, Uni. made a reasonable start at 0-29 but skipper
Grant Rimmer then hit his straps taking 5 wickets and effecting a run-out to have the students on the ropes. Cam Fowler then spun a web
around the tail to take 3-13 from 6.1 clever overs. Rimmer finished with 5-22. In the run chase Stuart Parsons and Ash Burton went early but
Harry Towler (21) and Nathan Stares (41) safely saw the target reached quickly enough to grab a bonus point and a spot in the finals.
Qualifying Final (2 Day match)
Sat / Sun 21-22 March 2015
5th Grade v Manly-Warringah: lost by 18 runs at Frank Gray Oval—228 to 246 (won toss): With a win a must to progress to the
semi-finals, skipper Grant Rimmer had no hesitation in asking second-placed Manly to bat first. And his decision paid early dividends with Nigil
Singh claiming a wicket in his first over followed up by two more a few overs later. Rimmer was also in on the act to take two giving the two
“veterans” the five wickets in a score-line of 5-68. A 58 runs partnership followed and when Darren Smith broke through Singh did the same
four runs later to have the Sea Eagles tottering at 7-130. But a 102 partnership between bats 8 and 9 got the score to 232 before Kyriakos
Tsalikidis (3-39 off 11 overs) wrapped them up for a healthy 246. Singh finished with 4-83 off 24 and Rimmer 2-44 off 14. In the run chase on
the Sunday after being 0-4 overnight, Harry Towler (18) and Neale Crawford (34) made steady progress to get to 49 before Towler went. When
Crawford departed at 64 two more quickly followed with Ash Burton gone for six and Nathan Stares (who was averaging 28 for the season) out
for a duck. And when Stuart Parsons was caught for 32 we looked in real trouble at 5-101. However a mid-order rally brought life back into the
challenge with David Lillyman (30) and Cooper Smith (24) taking the total to 188. Darren Smith staged a real rear-guard action attack and at 7224 with 23 to get we were looking good. With Smith out for 57 however, the situation changed very quickly and when Tsalikidis and Singh
were dismissed for the addition of just four runs our “Fighting Fives” season was over. It was the 11th time our 5th Grade had contes ted a
Qualifying Final and this was the team’s first defeat.
Spirit of Cricket
In every match played in the Sydney Cricket Association competition, umpires assessed each team’s
performance in terms of the Spirit of Cricket. An annual 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 while emphasizing the role of team captains in upholding the
game’s values.
This season with the club’s ideals of trust, respect and humility firmly at the fore, Randwick Petersham
finished second with an average of 8.064 behind winners Sydney University who scored 8.218. 2nd Grade
did well to finish third with an average of 8.07 after winning last season while the young PG boys can be
proud of finishing second with an average of 8.29, just behind winners Sydney on 8.60. Congratulations to
all teams!

Over the past two seasons I had seen this young side improve through experience and becoming more consistent in their
performance. Having made the semi-finals in the Belvidere Cup in each of those seasons and claiming last year’s T20 cup title, we
all expected continued success, provided that we maintained our excellent work ethic. Our results unfortunately, did not live up
to that expectation with us missing the finals series in both the Belvidere Cup (finishing 6th, missing the finals on quotient) and
One-Day competitions. We did however, reach the conference final of the T20 Cup competition by going through the preliminary
rounds and conference final undefeated.
Forgetting our obvious disappointment, I would like this review to focus more on some of the really positive a spects of the season.
Throughout the past season we have seen a number of newly capped 1st Grade players take the field for the Randy Pete’s. NSW
U19’s player Tom Jagot made the move to from UNSW and was a part of the 1st Grade side at times throughout the year. From
his performances it is clear that TJ is a player to watch in future for RPC.
Visiting from Middlesex in England, Ryan Higgins first made a contribution in the T20 competition before earning selection in our
1st Grade Belvidere Cup side through a mountain of 2nd Grade runs. Similarly, a string of excellent 2nd Grade bowling
performances (which included three consecutive five wicket hauls) earned Sam Doggett his 1st Grade call-up. Unfortunately, an
injury side-lined Sam shortly after which impacted the last part of the season.
A real coup for the club was to be able to enlist the services of former QLD Bulls first-class cricketer (and Sheffield Shield winner)
Alex Kemp. Along with being a genuinely top bloke (quite atypical for a Queenslander – sorry, it is around State of Origin time
when I’m writing this…), he has at times shown what a valuable asset he will be to the club, especially with his power and th e
short Coogee Oval boundaries.
A true highlight of the past year was the emergence of Henry Thornton. Henry played only his debut game this year, which
happened to be against Easts who were at full strength with NSW players Nic Maddinson, and Peter Nevill. Henry proceeded to
take five wickets on debut and signalled himself as a star of the future. Fittingly, Henry finished out the year by starring for the
Australian U19s in a series win against England U19s and earned himself a Cricket NSW rookie contract in the process.
Our batting this year was led by two of our experienced players in Nathan Price and Anthony Sams. Pricey, who also represente d
ACT in the Futures League competition, was consistent throughout the year with five scores between 50 and 100 with his effort
of 97* almost securing us a win against Sutherland which would have seen us in the finals. Anthony, after a season of scorin g
plenty in England during the off-season, was rewarded for an excellent start to the 1st Grade season by moving into the opening
position. Here, he was a consistent performer and managed two dominant hundreds in a really positive season for him personally.
Both these guys finished on 500+ runs for the year. However, our challenge as a batting group is to have guys having 800+ run
seasons if we want to make the final step to 1st Grade dominance.
We were dealt a blow this year in our bowling unit with our spearhead, and leading RPC 1st Grade wicket-taker of all time, Jake
Wilson missing the large part of the season with a badly broken finger. A leader emerged in young Nathan Ellis who relished this
new role in only his second season of 1st Grade cricket. Elly, Butters Stotch, Kevin Rudd or Draco Malfoy (pictured below confused
at one of Stapos jokes) swung the new ball consistently and finished the season equal 10th in the list of Sydney 1st Grade bowlers
of 2014-15. At times, all of the bowlers (of which we have plenty) stepped up and contributed meaningfully to match wins for us.
2015 as we know was a World Cup year in which the competition was split between Australia
and New Zealand. Thanks to an extraordinary amount of work on behalf of a number of people,
predominantly John Stewart and John McLoughlin, the Randy Pete’s hosted the Irish Cricket
World Cup Squad for a week prior to the tournament commencing. This culminated in a warmup match for the Irish against a Randwick Petersham side at Coogee Oval in front of hundreds of
spectators and guests. It was an amazing experience for all us here at RPC who were involved in
the match to test ourselves against an international quality opposition. We justified the strength
of the Sydney Grade Cricket competition by defeating the Irish side by five wickets in chasing
their total of around 250 in 43 overs. It was the kind of performance we would hope to boost us towards the end of the season
and the Grade Cricket finals. We subsequently went on to post 418 the following day against Bankstown who have been the
beaten Grand Finalists for the past two seasons.
We were also lucky enough to get to play against another travelling side from India during the Christmas/New Year break.
Unfortunately we went on to lose this match but it was a great experience to come up against players from the sub-continent and
their differing way of going about their cricket.
Finally, I just want to take some time to thank a whole bunch of volunteers and supporters who show up week after week and
allow us boys to do what we love and play cricket. As 1st Grade cricketers at RPC we are extremely spoilt in how we get looked
after. For this we have to say a massive thank you to our team manager, photographer, dressing room sledger and chief Nathan
Ellis “embarasser” Alan Vaughan. You went above and beyond this year and we are very thankful for your efforts. Similarly to the
best scorer in NSW, or dare I say the country, in Chris McLeod. Again, another amazing year. The amount of work you do, that a
lot of the guys don’t see, is ridiculous so again thank you very much. The beers we save for you in the dressing rooms do not nearly
do justice what you do for us. Lastly, and definitely not least of all, the ladies in the canteen led by Robin and Sue, all t he
wives/girlfriends, and two of the greats in Billy Anderson and Devo, thanks for all your support and efforts over the season . I’m
sure I speak for all in saying that it makes it ever more enjoyable to spend our days at cricket around you all.
To the boys, thanks again for your support throughout the course of the season. Although this was a difficult year in so much as
not making the Belvidere Cup finals, I’m sure it is only a slight blip on the radar and the success we deserve is just around the
corner, provided we continue to challenge ourselves and work hard.

Following the completion of the Kingsgrove T20 Cup the best 1st Graders were honoured with
selection in the Sydney Sixers and Sydney Thunder Academy teams which provided each player the
opportunity to earn one of six places on the Sixers and Thunder supplementary rosters. Randwick
Petersham’s Adam Semple was rewarded after amassing 269 runs at an impressive 89.67 with a
highest score of 88*. He also claimed 11 wickets at 11.45.
These teams faced off in the Triforce Sports T20 Cup against the Darren Lehmann Academy, Adelaide
and a Triforce Australia team.
In the first match “Sempy” continued his T20 form blasting 58 from 48 balls in a losing side and in
the following match v Thunder knocked over the skipper and former Australian bat Mike Hussey first
ball. But despite his impressive showings, Adam didn’t get a run in the comp.
Randwick Petersham is again greatly appreciative to
the sales teams at Sydney City Toyota Glebe and
Waterloo for their ongoing support and
professionalism in their sponsorship of the Randy
Pete’s during this particularly busy season.
Particular thanks to the Glebe showroom and the
team of Peter Toman, Stewart Scoon, Jason Benjamin
and Steve Lettice as no request was ever a trouble.
Nathan Price is providing SCT with plenty of exposure
in his white Camry up and down the M2.
Thanks are also extended to SCT and in particular Stu,
for going above and beyond to look after the touring
Irish with the lend of a Tarago and for the handful of
cars such as an FT-86 to Cricket Ireland’s World Cup
standby 16th man Graeme McCarter who played for
our good friends at Stockton CC in Newcastle.

Henry Thornton Australian u19s and NSW
Henry Thornton has had a meteoric rise this season. In the last round
before Christmas HT was handed 1st Grade baggy green #98 and
ended with 5-32 from his 10 overs including the wickets of Nic
Maddison and Ian Moran. Unfortunately for the Randy Pete’s this was
his only 1st Grade match though he turned out a couple of times in
Poidevin Gray.
His unavailability wasn’t due to injury but his call up to the NSW u19s
to contest the Under 19s Championships in Victoria alongside fellow
Randy Pete Tom Jagot. For both it was a successful tournament as
NSW were rampant in claiming the Championship title.
Following on from this honour, Thornton was invited to attend a pretour camp at the BUPA National Cricket Centre and in April represented Australia U19s against England U19s in the one off Youth
Test at the WACA. He impressed on debut demolishing the English in the 1st innings claiming 4-17. In the following five match One
Day Series Henry finished with 13 wickets with best figures of 4-46.
In July 2015 Henry travels to the UK with the Australian U19s to play a series against England U19s to coincide with the men's and
women's Ashes series. With his summer performances, Henry has also earned a Rookie contract with the Blues for 2015-16. All
at the Randy Pete’s wish him all the best. Big things await.
1st Grade Twenty20 Competition
The 2014-15 competition was called the Kingsgrove Sports T20 Cup and was played between 12 October and 2 November 2014.
The tournament saw clubs from Sydney, as well as the ACT, Central Coast, Newcastle and Illawarra, split into two “conferences”
in Big Bash Sixers and Thunder aligned regions. Randwick Petersham was in the Sydney Sixers Conference. It was again played as
a separate competition and formed no part of the 1st Grade competition or the Club Championship.
A series of double and triple headers was played at local grounds over Sundays 12 and 19 October 2014 with semi-finals contested
as evening matches between Tuesday 28 and Thursday 30 October. Preliminary matches were held at the Sydney Cricket Ground
on Sunday 2 November from 11 am with the Grand Final played at 6.30 pm.
At the end of the four competition rounds in the Sydney Sixers Conference, Manly and Randwick Petersham were undefeated
with Manly assuming the number 1 spot on net run rate. Manly however, were knocked out in the semi-final by St George who
went one step further by defeating us in the Preliminary Final at the Sydney Cricket Ground. To rub salt into the wound, we had
beaten Saints easily at Coogee in round 2. In the Grand Final against Sydney University, St George proved that it was their day by
going on to take the Cup with the best score of the day 3-173 to University’s 5-129.
And so another great season came to a close in this short form of the game in which we have excelled over the past four seasons.
It was a great defence effort of the trophy we won last year. In our past 19 matches over four seasons we have won 15 and lost
just four. An outstanding record by anyone’s standard.

Sun 12 October 2014 (3.30 pm)
Won toss
Won by 14 runs: 6-175cc (20 overs) to 7-161 (20 overs)
Easts were doing it well at 1-129 but when Nathan Ellis (1-34) removed Ian Moran (86 off 59) they lost their way with Adam Semple (2-27) and
Daniel Sams (1-27) cleaning up. Three run outs didn’t assist their cause. In reply, Jake Scicluna went for 22 off 28 with the score on 82 while
fellow opener Semple blazed away to remain 88 not out from just 55 balls with nine fours and four sixes when the target was reached. Our UK
newcomer Ryan Higgins made an impressive debut with 34 off 30 balls. We won with five balls to spare.
After being well in charge, a loss of four for seven towards the end of our 20 overs put us on the back foot at 6-129. Jake Scicluna (59 off 46 balls)
and Ryan Higgins (36 off 30) did well to get us to that position. However, with just a couple of overs to go Nick Stapleton took the long handle to
the attack slogging 34 off just 11 balls in only 11 minutes with three fours and two sixes! Our total of 175 always looked out of reach for the
Steelers but at 2-85 with their opener belting 49 off 35 anything was possible. However, Adam Semple brought them back to earth with the ball
(2-24 off 4 overs) and when their no. 6 went after hitting 41 off 26 it was all over. A gutsy win.

Semi-Final v Easts @ Coogee
Thurs 30 October 2014 (3.30 pm)
Lost toss
Won by 4 wkts: 6-105 (18.2 overs) to 103 (19.4 overs)
Three run-outs in the first five wickets didn’t help Saints as tight bowling forced errors. From 2-40 they slumped to 8-70 before a bit of a rally at
the end to get to 103. All bowlers did the job with Nick Stapleton (2-14) and Adam Semple (2-22) getting the figures. Three ducks saw RPC 4-68
in reply but Ryan Higgins (21) and Semple rallied the innings. While runs were tight at the end, successive sixes to Semple who finished 61 not
out off 57 balls with four fours and four sixes put the issue beyond doubt with 10 balls remaining.
Won by 8 wkts: 2-98 (15 overs) to 9-97cc (20 overs)
The Sharks were looking good at 2-59 but when Soumil Chhibber (3-12 off 3 overs) took two wickets in an over and Nathan Ellis (4-18 off 4)
joined in they had no answer losing 7-38 by the time the 20 overs were up. Nathan Price (29) and Adam Semple opened up putting on 51 for the
first wicket. Skipper Semple remained 57 not out off 40 balls with four fours and four sixes as the target was run down in just 15 overs.
Won by 6 wkts: 4-117 (18.2 overs) to 7-116cc (20 overs)
Eastern Suburbs had raced to 33 before Nick Stapleton (1-24 from 4 overs) knocked over Australian and NSW star Nic Maddinson. The runs
continued the flow as the competition's top scorer Ian Moran looked in good touch, but when he was run out by Soumil Chhibber to make the
score 4-72, RPC turned the screws. Some great middle overs bowling from skipper Adam Semple (3-20 from 4) coupled with dynamic fielding
kept the Dolphins to a gettable 116. RPC was off to the perfect start with Nathan Price (48 from 42 balls) and Semple (16 from 24) looking in
total control. The loss of both saw the Dolphins think they were in with a sniff, but the cool head of Ryan Higgins (21* from 24) saw the Randy
Pete’s home with ease in the 19th over for the loss of four wickets.
Preliminary Final v St George @ Sydney Cricket Ground
Sun. 2 November 2014 (11 am)
Lost toss
Lost by 6 wkts: 7-126cc (20 overs) to 4-127 (18.3 overs)
We were away to a flyer at 0-32 off 3 overs having been sent in. Nathan Price (18 off 14 balls) and Shaun Eaton (1) however, went in the space
of 7 balls. Over the next 6.1 overs we could only score 27 and when Ryan Higgins (16 off 19) went we were 3-61 off 10.2. Nick Stapleton (16 off
18) got 16 of the next 20 runs but he was gone with the total 81. Skipper Adam Semple (47 off 47) was again the mainstay but lost his wicket
with just 7 balls to go leaving us just 6-117 against some tight bowling. Jake Scicluna (13* off 10) however, hit a six with 3 balls remaining to give
us a final total of 126 which was probably 25-30 below par. In response, Saints had 37 on the board off 27 balls when their first wicket fell to
Nathan Ellis (1-20 off 4) and when Semple (1-22 off 4) and Stapleton (1-17 off 3.3) grabbed a couple more we had a sniff at 3-58 off 8.4 overs.
However, a 54 run partnership put paid to our chances and while we managed another wicket they strolled in with 9 balls in hand.

Season 2014-15 was a tale of two parts as 2nd Grade played some extraordinary, exciting brand of cricket and at other times quite
mediocre cricket. The 2nd Grade squad is a very talented bunch of individuals who need to work hard on developing consistent
performances to step up to the next mantle and be part of the show in 1st Grade.
When you sit back and analyse a season you ponder all the scenarios that had taken place throughout and wonder whether if you
did something slightly different, the end result could be totally different. If anything, as captain, I would have placed an even
greater emphasis on fielding at practice, especially during pre-season as the standard of catching in particular was not of the
highest calibre for 2nd Grade. On too many occasions during the season the side effectively had to create 14 -16 chances in a
match to bowl sides out.
There were a number of highlights however, which showed how good this side was. I have never been a part of a team that has
created so many opportunities or be in positions to win outright. On four occasions this young talented side had the opportu nity,
one match being interrupted by the tragic death of Phillip Hughes, the other three hard fought out contests by the opposition.
Thus finishing on the table where we did was a real disappointment, especially as we were in third place just prior to Christmas.
Second Grade was a significantly better two-day side than in the one-day format. It’s a scenario that has plagued the club this
season when you look through all the one-day matches in all grades. The great Bobby Simpson, who attended training on
occasions in the early years of the club, stipulated that in grade cricket, if you are able to score 200 on average in one-day games,
you will win more than you lose. Pure observation had shown that our lack of patience in general was our greatest downfall. Our
batsmen looked for the boundary too often as we really struggled to rotate the strike to relieve pressures being built.
Our strength by far was in our bowling. The main three bowlers in Sam Doggett, Hayden McLean and Jack Preddey kept us in a
lot of games through some wonderful attacking bowling. New recruit Sam Doggett had to be the buy of the season and while he
may have been disappointed not to have played more 1st Grade games this season, his raw pace, deadly yorkers and never-saydie attitude will take him far in this great game of ours.
Doggett was ably supported by Hayden McLean with the new ball. Haydos will be a very big loss to the club and I wish him all the
best with his new club. Throughout the year, Haydos was one of the best trainers, both with bat and ball and helped lead the
attack. Once he realised that he was good and strong enough to bang the ball into the turf consistently, he gained more zip and
really made some quality batsmen look very ordinary. Haydos also has realised that for him to go to the next level, he needs to
contribute in all areas and was rewarded at times throughout the season with the bat also due to his never-say-die attitude.
Jack Preddey impressed greatly in his first full season in 2s. While not a big turning leg-spinner, the boy gives it a great rip and
consistently beats the opposition batsmen through the air, with the majority of his wickets coming in front of square within the
infield. There were many highlights for Jack this season such as his composure in the second last over against Gordon. We were
under the pump with young Preddey producing the perfect over claiming a key wicket and restricting the opposition to three or
four runs to win the match. Jack’s composure as a leg-spinner in a tight situation shows why he can go a long way in the game.
The other bowlers throughout the year also performed admirably with limited opportunities, namely, James Tyson, Ben
Nethersole, Sammy Wood and Nick Charlwood.
In the batting, we had many contributors throughout the year, but really lacked consistency. Suffan Hassan stepped up and
showed that he was more than capable of performing at the next level. His 419 runs could be seen as a stepping stone to 1st
Grade. On a personal front, I was reasonably happy with my own contribution (495), however after a chronic injury resurfaced a
few rounds into the season, a decision was made to take a relative back seat to promote the younger players in their development.
Tom Jagot leads an exciting bunch of talented individuals along with Nick Charlwood and Jarryd Biviano, however along with
others, they all need to find a way of getting themselves into a contest on a more consistent basis and batting for four to five plus
hours to help put on those big scores.
It was a real pleasure leading a young talented side this past season and many opportunities will arise next year for all. Continue
your great work ethic, enjoy each other’s company, relax and take pride in yours and each other’s performances.

If RPC 3rd Grade in 2014-15 was an NRL game then we were down 26-4 at half time but came back with a vengeance to lurk
a 32 all draw at full time. A frustrating pre-Christmas where only a tie and one win was achieved, but to win five of our last
seven and finish in the top half showed us what we were capable of.
Our first two games vs Hawkesbury and the Campbelltown Ghosts (at home thankfully) were vitally important and on paper
we had a solid looking 3rd Grade side. Experience via Stafford and Huxley, and plenty of youth with guys on their way up.
We bowled well in these matches to restrict the opposition, although the tail wagged to leave us chasing more than we
would like. In both games runs on the board prevailed and we would rue our poor start to the season.
The next two games we were more competitive with a tie vs the top side Penrith and a dominant win over the North Sydney
Bears saw us back on track. The Penrith game was an unbelievable game with RPC making 265 then having Penrith 4 for 39
before one bloke smoked 156* and was left stranded while the tail floundered against Sam Wood who took his second five
wicket haul in his first three 3rd Grade games. A real talent, Sam would deservedly move up to 2s shortly afterwards and
hold his spot for the remainder of the year.
Not much to write home about in the remaining games before Christmas with two losses and a draw seeing us out of finals
contention at the holiday break unless there was a miracle.
Post-Christmas the boys were fantastic and we really grew as a side. We won five of seven but there were four games that
were out of the box. Round 11 vs Blacktown saw us roll the opposition on a poor wicket for 94 thanks largely to Sam
Doggett’s 5-18. We should have chased easily but Jack Lyle’s 40 and a last wicket unconquered stand of nine between
Andrew Sprowls and Tommy Evans got us home.
Round 12 vs Bankstown saw us all out for a poor 151 and with Bankstown 3-94 at the end of day one we would need early
wickets to give ourselves a fighting chance. The veterans Stafford and Huxley ended up taking 5-15 off 15 overs to roll them
for 141 for a 10 run win!
Round 13 vs Parra was one that got away. We were bowled out for a defendable 150 on a wet wicket and then had them
7-38 with James Tyson taking five wickets. However, their eighth wicket put on 95 and they passed us eight down with one
bloke bombing anything shorter than a length into the next suburb on regular occasions. It was a very silent shed after that
loss.
Round 14 vs finals-bound Sutherland saw us bat out our 80 overs for the first time since round 4. We were bowled out on
day two for 205 and with Sutho 3-178 we were getting pumped. But Kushaal Ram took five-for to win us the match as we
took the last seven poles for 12 runs for an easy 15 run win.
Some individual mentions:
Reehan Nawaz had a breakthrough year showing us all what he is capable of. A hard trainer, with competitive instincts
“The Waz” was a key all-rounder consistently chipping in with handy runs in the middle order, a few poles and one of our
best in the field. Looking forward to seeing Reehan progress even further next year.
Kushaal Ram had a lean year by his standards with the bat, but through hard work he improved his consistency with the
ball dramatically and by end of season was one of our bets with the rock. Always top notch in the field “The Ram” deserved
his spot in 2s for the last round and with more runs next year will push hard for a permanent 2nd Grade spot.
Adam Docos played every game as keeper / opening bat. Not exactly in the “Gilly” style with the bat “Doc” impressed
opening the batting and consistently looked at ease. Adam’s batting stats will improve dramatically when he learns to turn
his starts into 50s and 100s and when his solid technique allows him to develop a more aggressive game as a he matures.
His wicket-keeping improved as the season went on, taking some screamers and good stumpings along the way.
Andrew Sprowls also had a breakthrough year proving himself a quality 3rd grader as the leader of our attack. Intense
wicket celebrations from ‘Sprowler’ were enjoyed and it was a pleasure to watch the natural swing confuse many a batsman.
Rob Huxley was my right hand man and I am not sure how I would have got through without his help. It was an interesting
step down to 3s with many of the things I’ve taken for granted in 1s and 2s suddenly the skipper’s responsibility to sort out!
“Hux” shared many of these tasks during the season with the best enjoying post-match beers win/lose/tie or draw with
plenty of cricket chat and quality bant. Cheers mate!
Our Welshman with an Aussie passport Jack Lyle finished up with the highest batting average of 32.75 and deserved to play
a bunch of games in 2s. Tom Holland didn’t score as many runs as he would have liked this season but I’m expecting big
things to come next season as Tom’s work ethic is first class. “The Schu” always lifted the side when he was around and
had a number of good knocks to get the boys off to a flyer. “Matilda” started on fire but then faded, and no-one at
Sutherland Oval will forget the one-handed diving screamer an inch of the ground he took. Ben Stares is always a great
bloke to have in your side and scored handy runs in 3s finishing the year on fire. A host of others also contributed greatly
to the team’s cause and the feeling in the side while post-match beers were always a highlight.
Huge thanks to Mike Sprowls also for the wonderful job he did scoring for us and also to Stan Beal who helped out earlier
in the season. Richard McCord also showed his support and air guitar technique many a time down at Petersham Oval
fixtures. John Connell was our home game manager (sharing with 4s) and his arvo teas were to die for. Thanks JC for being
the great club man that you are!
Thanks to everyone else who supported us this year including parents, wives, girlfriends, the coaching staff and I’m looking
forward to doing it all again next season, hopefully with a bit of finals cricket like Rim’s 5th graders!

Fourth Grade started the season with the goal of playing finals cricket, and after three rounds things were looking good,
however the loss of players to higher grades, injury and unavailability saw the side struggle to put any consistent
performances together in the middle and latter part of the season.
Upon reflection, while the goal of playing finals cricket was not achieved, it was still an enjoyable season where a
number of younger players got a chance to show their talents at various stages.
Season Highlights: The development of several younger players was great to see, with Will Lawrance, Nikethan
Radhakrishnan, Kyri Tsalikidis, Savio Gracias Flor, Jack James and Will McGrane being standouts. Throughout the
season, all these players put in performances showing their undoubted talent, and this bodes well for future years.
It was also great to see Ben Stares post his maiden Grade hundred against Mosman in Round 9. It was no secret that
“Staresy” was not really troubling the scorers much leading into the match, but he was able to apply himself to bat
through the innings to post a sensational 101 not out. A prime example of what happens when you continue to train
hard, apply yourself, and never throw in the towel!
On a personal note, winning 12 tosses in a row was not a bad effort, if only I had the same form at the Chocolate Wheel
at the casino……
Season Lowlights: Getting beaten outright in Round 12 against Bankstown to record the greatest-ever loss in 4th Grade
for Randy Pete’s was a definite lowlight that none of the players involved were proud of.
The Volunteers: A massive thanks to our manager John “The Ger” Connell. While the passing of Soda saw “Ger”
without his helper, quality afternoon teas and match analysis were again much appreciated by all the boys. Also thanks
to Richard “Hubert” McCord again for scoring when available. Much appreciated by all.
Thanks also to John and Lynne Stares, David James, and Mike Sprowls for helping with scoring, afternoon teas and
other general duties throughout the season.
Also, big thanks to Alan Wright for his support as Chairman of Selectors, once again a great job done and that LBW at
Coogee was definitely going down leg!
Player Summary
Chris Singh – Another solid season from “Singhy” getting the side off to solid starts at the top of the order the majority
of the time. Singhy’s bowling workload dropped off as the season wore on and the body started to give way, but after
a big off-season I’m sure he will be back bigger than ever…..
Josh James – “JJ” might not have put up the statistics that was expected of a player with his talent, but his effort and
increasing maturity each week were big positives. His off-spin efforts at the end of the season were also decent, as
was his life education sessions with Nik…..
Nikethan Radhakrishnan – at just 14 years of age, “Nik” has a big future ahead. A classy top order batsman and wicketkeeper, he showed his quality with a 78 against eventual premiers Penrith and 65 against Uni.NSW. “Nik” also improved
behind the stumps as the season wore on, just needs to work on consistency and staying positive with both the bat
and gloves in the upcoming season and the results will take care of themselves. The season also saw his level of “bant”
increase, credit to “JJ” and Mitch Jones in this area…..
Tom Evans – “Tommy E” started the season strongly with nine wickets in the opening three rounds, but then a period
of unavailability saw his form unfortunately drop off. A spinner with loads of potential, Tom just needs to string
consistent games together and the higher grades beckon. Also showed some great form off the pitch by all reports…..
Oshanka Perera – the “Shanks” showed his all-round talents this season, picking up cheeky wickets almost every time
he got the ball in his hand. “Shanks” wears the Randy Pete’s colors with pride and enjoys seeing the side and players
do well, a great man to have in any team. Also loves a post-match beverage almost as much as the skipper…..
Matty Hilder – “Matilda” again started the season on fire with a fighting 63 in Round 1 against Campbelltown which
saw him promoted to 3rd Grade. While his form dropped off, his knowledge of the game was still second to none as
was his fielding, displayed with an all-time great snare at Petersham Oval against Parramatta that defied gravity. A
quality cricketer and bloke that I hope pulls the boots on for one more season…..
Ben Stares – “Staresy” hit rock bottom early in the season, but to his credit he kept training hard and applying himself
and was rewarded with a maiden Grade hundred against Mosman in Round 9, scoring 101 not out. A great team man,
he also showed his skills with the ball after the skipper finally gave in to his continued requests to roll the arm over…..
Jaya Murdita – “The Cleaner” struggled early in the season with HSC pressures, but came good in the back half, showing
why he played 2nd Grade last season. Also showed his potential with the bat, scoring 54 and setting a new 10th wicket
partnership record with Cameron Fowler of 73 against Bankstown. He also displayed sound skills in the TAB, putting
Skewies to shame at such a young age…..
Will Lawrance – “Big Willy” is a definite star of the future. His talent with the bat was on display for all to see at Killara
Oval in round 10 as he smoked 93 including a horn over backward point that Brett Hunter would have been proud of.
Once school cricket commitments are over, expect big things…..
Kryi Tsalikidis – “Mini Staffo” only played the last two games in 4th Grade, but picked up two three-wicket hauls that
showed the talent of this young leg spinner. Much in the Rod Stafford mould, his turn and bounce was great to watch,
as was the confidence of a player of his limited experience. Looking forward to seeing his development next season,
can see him dominating from the Oporto end of Coogee Oval for years to come…..
Savio Gracias Flor – “Big Sav” has enormous potential with both bat and ball. His desire to succeed and contribute to
the team make him an easy bloke to skipper. Predicting a big season next year, only if he doesn’t blow up the lab…..
Jack James – “Junior JJ” plays his cricket hard with both bat and ball, a great trait for a player so young. He is full of
talent and once school cricket commitments are over, expect his development through the grades to be quick. Just
needs to work on telling the skipper that he is keen to bowl…..

For me, season 2014-15 will go down as highly rewarding. Looking back on each game that we lost, I can see we were in a position
to win all of them. Round 3 against Penrith – they were 7-73 and managed to scramble 134 before we were rolled for 99. Round
4 against Norths, we were bowled out for 94 and Norths at one stage were 5-44. Round 7 against Easts: Easts were 5-81 off 32
overs and got to 180 which were too many for our batsmen. Round 10 against Gordon: We were 2-94 and all out 135. Round 13
against Parramatta: we were 3-65 all out 120 while Parra were 5-61. Even in the Quarter Final, Manly were 7-130 all out 246 and
we got to 7-224 before being dismissed 18 short. This means that 5th Grade is a very even competition. Anyone can beat anyone
on their day so it was just that lack of consistency and momentary lapses in concentration that cost our team points and
consequently a higher place on the ladder. Rather than seeing ourselves in a knockout quarter-final, one more win would have
resulted in a top four finish and a second chance. The lesson that needs to be learned is that every game counts but to break it
down further, every session counts, every hour counts, every over counts and every ball counts in the context of a season.
With the ultimate goal being to make the finals, then it was mission accomplished. That game itself was a typical finals game. All
22 players had the opportunity to make a difference at some point. Unfortunately, we chose to have our worst session in the
middle of day two and that proved a major turning point. At 5-68 and with most of Manly’s top order back in the pavilion,
confidence was up, but it is never over and Manly’s lower order recovered to a strong 246 - the only time a team scored more
than 200 against us. Although we were all out for 228, it was our highest score for the year and to produce it then against a quality
attack says a lot for the belief that was instilled into the team.
There were many highlights in the season. One was seeing Green Shield players James Mahony Brack and Jack James step up into
men’s cricket and succeed which was a reflection on both their ability and confidence levels. The second was Nigil Singh’s wickettaking ability. Including his one game in 4th Grade, he took 42 wickets at an average of 12.2. The astonishing thing was that he
conceded a miserly average of two runs per over. His best was 6-10. Not only was he taking wickets at one end, but the pressure
he created meant that wickets were taken at the other end as well. Nearly 30% of his overs were maidens. He would consistently
beat the bat and leave the opposition guessing. NigIl was a great mentor for the younger bowlers in the team, either on game day
or at training. He was a fantastic support for me as captain as we were always discussing how to get the most out of the team. He
has many years left in him to terrorise Grade batsmen and pass on his experience to his team mates.
Stuart Parsons and Harry Towler were welcome additions to our team from England. Their personalities were just what the team
needed around the change room and their batting styles complemented each other nicely. Stuart’s strength wa s hitting straight
and long. 380 runs @ 42.22 and he was able to take the attack right up to opening bowlers. Often chasing low scores, it was
important that Stuart started off solidly and he ate into the confidence of the opposition. His partnerships with Harry produced
some exciting starts. Harry’s 213 runs @ 16.38 didn’t truly reflect his ability. He played some lovely shots and was particularly
effective off his pads. In the field, he was reliable at both mid-on and in the slips. I wish them all the best in their future careers at
home and we hope to see them again sooner rather than later!
Nathan Stares averaged 28 with the bat and he was another who could turn a match with his clean hitting. His bowling was always
tight – conceding 2.2 runs per over – and always bowled to his field. He also had safe hands behind or in front of the wicket. He is
not far away from a break-through year and really making a name for himself in the middle grades.
Cooper Smith was another regular in the Fighting Fives. Although he may not have taken the quantity of wickets that he expected,
14 wickets @ 17 was nothing to sneeze at. Again, the pressure that he applied at his end contributed towards many wickets at the
other. Once his bowling restrictions are lifted, I predict that he will be a prominent wicket -taker for the club. His batting really
stepped up a notch this season. Elevated to number seven, he averaged 24 and became very reliable with a few scores in the 40s.
He has a very good eye and another one who plays to his strengths of hitting straight. He can hit a long ball and is just as good
fielding in the deep as he is in slips. I look forward to seeing Cooper move up the grades and dominate.
David Lillyman is a man I would want to be with in the trenches. He bats the same in any conditions and knows his zones. Often
he was in situations where he had to occupy the crease and slow the momentum of the opposition. By his own admission he does
not possess big shots, but instead his calm and resolute manner make him very difficult to get out. All this was seen in the QF
against Manly where he batted for 26 overs for 30 runs. He came on at 4-83 and saw the score progress to 188. The wicket-keeping
gloves were taken off him mid-season but showed he was very adept in the cover position and saved many boundaries.
Darren Smith contributed many great things to the team. His QF match was arguably his best of the year. 57 runs in that type of
game as well as 1-15 off 8 and a fine catch to top it off. He was always competitive and another whose advice I respected and
often acted on. His batting at number seven or eight gave me the confidence in our depth and his ability to bat with the tail was
second to none. He produced an experienced batting display with our season on the line against Sydney Uni. to get us home. His
appeals for LBW decisions were certainly not half-hearted! Darren always had the team’s best interests at heart; his dedication at
training in the coaching aspect was underrated and certainly needed. I hope Darren remains with the club for a long time to come.
Luis Siddall, Ashley Burton, Kyri Tsalikidis and Cameron Fowler also played multiple games for 5s. Kyri’s 7 wickets @ 18 for a leg
spinner in his first season is a great foundation for him. Cameron was under-bowled this season; only 46 overs but 11 wickets.
Sorry Chook! I have coached and played with Cameron for many years now and he can be devastating with the amount of turn he
gets. Luis scored 75 in 5s and 294 runs for the year and was rewarded with some fine knocks in Metro. He was certainly someone
I tried to get in the team at the first opportunity. Luis enjoyed batting in the middle order and was able to involve himself in some
productive partnerships. Ashley looks threatening every time he enters the fray. He missed a few games in the middle of the
season which affected his form as he was hitting the ball superbly in pre -season and in the first couple of rounds. I am sure Ashley
will regain his best form next year with a good preparation.
I enjoyed every game and personally, this season has been the most rewarding for me. After becoming captain from Round 5 after
Jason McLean stood down, I knew I had a squad to challenge for the finals. It says a lot about this team that in every situation
where we needed to win or create something we did. Against Sydney Uni., the leading pack were getting away from us and we
won that game eight wickets down to keep in touch; against Blacktown, a bonus point was on the cards and we achieved that with
an over to go; against Bankstown, ten points were gained from a seemingly impossible position; and in the last game against
UNSW, that was a must-win game and we did it with a bonus point. It said a lot about the character of the team to achieve these
results. I wish to thank David Skuthorpe for his commitment and support to the 5th Grade players at training. He was there every
session and did more than his fair share of organisation and for that, the club is grat eful. Alan Wright also supported the team
and was another who tried to get the best out of the squad.
It is here that I would like to express my gratitude to the Randwick Petersham Club and the Randwick Club before that as seas on
2014-15 was my last. From being selected in Billy Johnson’s Green Shield team in 1993 to playing in 2nd Grade, every season has
been rewarding and fun. Three premierships, over 300 wickets for RP, over 400 Grade wickets, more than 10 five-wicket hauls,
last partnership records, a hat-trick, leading run outs for RP… I am very content with all the little milestones I have achieved. But
it isn’t all about the numbers. I was lucky enough to be on the Randwick CC committee at the time of the merger and while the re
were lots of questions and a little bit of fear at the time, we can safely say that it has been a success and we are all in a better
position because of it. I have made many friends from the Petersham side of the merger and that has been the highlight of my
career. To have the opportunity to coach Green Shield and to be part of the start of careers of guys like Usman Khawaja, Nick
Stapleton, Brandon McLean, Nick Charlwood and Kushaal Ram has also been rewarding. I have played every grade from 2nd Grade
down to Metro and whilst there have been a few thrashings in amongst these seasons, my overall memory was that all teams that
I was involved in believed they could win. By my records, I leave with a 59% winning percentage! I have played under some
wonderful captains – Denis Hinds, Phil Lyons, James Le Huray, Bruce Young, Alan Wright, David Townsend, David Mitchell, Darren
McCoy, Dean White and David Bourke – and each in their own little way were able to get the best out of their team. I have
witnessed many fine partnerships, seen fantastic catches, some long sixes (some off my own bowling!) and brilliant wicket-taking
hauls. They all contributed in their own way to making each Saturday special and fun and the source of many great stories. Thanks
for the memories!

Metropolitan Cup
by Denis Hinds, Manager
We entered two teams in the Metro competition which consisted of nine Grade clubs, with powerhouse Gordon not fielding a
team. The premiers were Penrith who led all the way with only one loss beating that other regular performer Sydney University
in the Grand Final. We finished eighth and ninth which seems to be more a product of a higher standard than our quality.
We achieved a greater level of integration with the A W Green Shield squad and nearly all of their players had a game or two.
Liam Hehir and Riley Wall impressed as opening bowlers and Tyzac Bailey blew everyone away with his 96 against Mosman.
Niv Radhakrishnan at 11 years of age equalled the record for our youngest player and the team gave him great support to what
should be the start of a serious Grade Cricket career. Liam O’Loughlin started with us then brought his younger brother Mitchell
and finally they dragged dad Paul along to play so that in the last game all three O’Loughlin’s represented us and featured in
some good partnership batting.
But it was a year for the stalwarts rather than the new finds as George Frazakis scored 446 runs at 26.23 to top the Metro
aggregates. Alexis Coovre batted and bowled relentlessly both in a match and at training, Jeremy Jastrzab chalked up 191 runs
at 14 and Lasith Fernando scored our lone century for the season, a magnificent 114. In competition results Adam Lee finished
fourth in the bowling with 22 wickets at 19 and Shimul Nath seventh with 18 wickets at 18.
METRO GOLD TEAM
by John Stewart, Captain
This season began replicating 2013-14. On paper we had the players, some returning from last season and a good selection of
new players. As with Metro, the teams changed each week and for the first time in many seasons a number of players were
given the opportunity to captain – Lasith Fernando, Ed House and myself.
In the first match v UNSW new skipper Lasith Fernando led from the front with a brilliant century in fading light but wasn’t
enough to grab the win. In the process he and newcomer Andrew White broke the ninth wicket partnership record which had
stood for eight years. Unfortunately, the next 11 Rounds yielded defeats against quality opposition. But positively the players
never dropped their heads, continued to put in in the field and most Metro players were regulars at training twice a week. Th e
only aspect that let us down was the strength and application of our batting.
It was pleasing that a number of Metro players were selected in 5s namely Ed House, Kyri Tsalakidis, Karthi Balasubramaniam
and Neale Crawford. Unluckily there were a couple of players who have performed consistently over the past few seasons and
I’m sure they would be on the brink of selection in higher grades.
There were also some standout performances throughout the season which led to a couple of victories and showed the
opposition that GOLD don’t lie down. Liam O’Loughlin’s off spin developed so much that he became our number one spinner
towards the back end of the season with best figures of 4-14. Furthermore, with Liam in the team it continued the family’s link
to the club following in the footsteps of his grandfather John and father Paul. In Round 14 v Sydney University Liam was joined
by younger brother Mitch and his father Paul. Paul outshone both sons with the bat in each innings.
Another dominating performance was from Damien Sidney blasting 44 in an opening stand of 46 including 17 off the first over
to knock the opening bowling out of the attack for the match. If he can control his aggressive stroke play , bigger scores are on
the cards. Damo even swapped his ‘keeping gloves for the ball and by season’s end was a regular first change with five wickets.
Finally, in Round 9 Gold showed guts to chase Mosman’s 237 with 1.1 overs remaining thanks in part to a strong all round
bowling and fielding performance coupled with Tyzac Bailey’s magnificent 93 including 10 boundaries and 4 sixes and the cool
heads of Balasubramaniam 26* and Raycole Dai 22*.
Congratulations must be extended to Ed House who started the season poorly with the bat which saw a couple of
uncharacteristic ‘blow ups.’ But his form turned around and he was rewarded with selection in 5s and it was pleasing to see Ed
finish with an aggregate of 297 and three 50s.
The Annual Origin match between Green and Gold at Coogee Oval was played in the right spirit but Gold couldn’t match the
firepower of Green’s bowling attack and take advantage of a batting paradise and suffered a heavy defeat. The return match at
Kensington Oval fell along the same lines with Green again triumphant allowing them to claim the inaugural “Grouch” trophy.
I wish to thank every player involved in Metro this season and while I know it has been a tough season it would be great to
come back next year refreshed and start anew. Also on behalf of every Metro player many thanks to our Manager “Grouc h”
even though he has now joined the NSW umpiring ranks. But at every opportunity he was there supporting and helping out.
Enjoy the off season and see you back in 2015-16.
METRO GREEN TEAM
by Bala Mohan,Captain
This season was full of excitement and surprises. We started our season with a string of losses, gained a little bit of momen tum
mid-season, but lost it towards the end of the season. Our primary issue this season was our inability to put enough runs on the
board for bowlers to defend. Except in a few games, our batting effort was below par and this put unwanted pressure on our
bowlers so we couldn’t achieve the goals we had set ourselves (top six in the comp) at the outset.
George Frazakis was our player of the season, one of the top Metropolitan Cup performers, with 446 runs and nine wickets in 17
games. He played brilliantly throughout the season with his best scores 96 against Mosman and 72 against Fairfield Liverpool.
Furthermore, against UNSW, he bowled some enticing deliveries causing trouble finishing with 4-28 off 10 overs.
Of the bowlers, Shimul Nath had a breakthrough season catching the selector’s attention and was rewarded with a call up to
3rds. His best bowling of 6-36 off seven overs showed his class and the Fairfield-Liverpool batsmen had no answer to his legbreaks and googly. Omar Ali bowled a menacing line and with frightening pace against Sydney University at Alexandria Park
ending up with 3-37 off 10 overs. Mark Wall played an anchoring role in a number of games throughout the season. Against
Mosman he bowled with skill and was rewarded with 6-76 off 19 overs. He also batted beautifully on a number of occasions and
raised the team to a better position with a best score of 46 against Blacktown.
Niv Radhakrishan (34) and Alexis Coovre (47) both batted 50+ overs against Western Suburbs, showing determination and
patience which placed the team in a better position.
Undoubtedly, our best win of the season was against Fairfield-Liverpool at Marrickville and placed the team fifth on the
Metropolitan Cup ladder. George Frazakis 72* and Neale Crawford 61 set up a strong platform for a formidable score and
Shimul Nath with 6-36 spun a web to set up a satisfying and close victory.
George “Run Machine” Frazakis (96) and Mark “the Menace” Wall (6-76) were the stand-out performers in our resounding
defeat of Mosman at Balmoral. Frazakis was the rock of our innings exhibiting a range of drives, pull shots, and cuts coupled
with patience and willingness to fight in the middle. Wall’s intimidating pa ce and swing bowling was too much for the Whales
who collapsed and never recovered.
We were disappointed that we didn’t reach the top six but are confident that we will come back stronger and play better in the
forthcoming season. Congratulations to all who were part of the Green team. In conclusion we thank our Manager Denis Hinds,
coaches, administrators, groundsmen and scorers for organising a great Metropolitan Cup in 2014-15.

Poidevin Gray Shield
(Under 21 years)
Position in Competition: 7th
3 wins; 3 losses; 1 tie
by Eddie Otto, Asst. Coach
Randwick Petersham's PG side endured a topsy-turvy season which resulted in the Quarter Finals exit against third placed
Northern District. Having finished the regular season in sixth with three wins and three losses the boys faced a knock out game on
the road at Waitara Oval to qualify for the semi-finals. Despite a compelling contest we were eventually eliminated despite forcing
a tie in a chase of 167. A heartbreaking way to exit a competition we had high hopes of winning. It was another near miss for a
squad that was brimming with quality and 1st and 2nd Grade experience.
With the fruits of the Under 21's Academy and a strong pre-season including extra PGs training sessions, the boys were really
motivated to win this competition. Led by Captain Jake Scicluna's great training ethic, the squad and the coaching staff saw a finals
appearance as a minimum requirement. Two commanding victories to start the season over Fairfield and Sydney had us flying
high and dreaming big.
The turning point of our year occurred against Manly in round 3 where we failed to chase a very moderate 107 falling three runs
short. Our batting let us down throughout the campaign as we suffered batting collap ses, particular in the face of good finger-spin
bowling. Despite our frailties with the bat throughout the series there were some great individual displays. Ryan Higgins batting
50 overs against Sydney and produced a very classy century mixed with power and touch. Tom Jagot scoring an undefeated halfcentury against Fairfield to steer us home in round 1. Down the lower order, Hayden McLean played a blinding innings of 37 late
in the quarter-final just to give us a chance.
The bowling and fielding unit had a much more consistent campaign which meant we were competitive in every match. Nathan
Ellis and Hayden Mclean bowled with skill and control in every match throughout the series as our opening pair. Shaun Eaton did
an outstanding job in the middle overs throughout the series. His change of pace and guile were a joy to watch as he often
strangled the oppositions momentum. The spinners Jack Preddey and Soumil Chhibber both had their moments and along with
rising speed star Henry Thornton will be three key players in 2015-16.
Whilst our best was capable of winning the competition, our worst during the season was capable of losing a game within an ho ur.
The narrow defeats to Manly, St George and on Duckworth Lewis against Wests were all from winning positions. Those three
narrow losses resulted in us limping into the finals rather than finishing in the Top Four which would have given us an home ground
advantage.
While the season contained many high and lows the most pleasing aspect was the commitment of the players to ask more of
themselves. Many members of the squad played an active role in our Green Shield campaign by getting to know some of the
younger players and helping them at training. This was the type of culture we wanted to build and it was terrific to see players
from both the PGS and AWGS squad attend each other’s home games. Special thanks to Jarryd Biviano who really demonstrated
his character and team qualities by leading the charge to get the boys to buy into these programs.
Rob Huxley did a terrific job as Head Coach in making sure every aspect of preparation and team spirit was addressed. No doubt
the boys really appreciated his commitment, guidance and loyalty right from the start of Academy. Together with Alan Vaugh an,
Chris Scicluna and Mark Preddey on match days, the boys were in a really supportive environment where they could purely focus
on their cricket. We wish Nathan and Hayden well at their new clubs in 2015-16, and thank Shaun Eaton and Suffan Hassan for
their efforts, as they finish their PGs careers.
While there might be a bit of rebuilding to do, I still think we can put out a really strong and competitive side next
season. Opportunity really awaits young players who train hard and put performances on the board early in the season. I really
enjoyed being involved for the first time getting to work with talented a nd motivated players striving for a career in the
game. While both our AWGS and PGS side are yet to taste title success, both teams had effectively “winning seasons” in 2014-15
and if we keep building on the culture we started this year I think the ultimate prize is not far away.

Qualifying Final v Northern District @ Mark Taylor Oval:
Sun 18 Jan 2015
tied: 167 to 167
Fairfield were looking good at 4-132 although Soumil Chhibber (2-34 off 7 overs) had despatched their “big gun” Jake Doran for 30. But tight
bowling and fielding caused panic in the camp and the next three wickets were all the subject of run-outs. Shaun Eaton (2-31 off 9) and Nathan
Ellis (2-42 off 10) then cleaned up the last four for 14. With a gettable total Ryan Higgins started like a “bomb” thrashing the bowling for 62 off
the 79 scoreline when he went. However, Tom Jagot was up to the mark with an excellent undefeated 68*. While four quick wickets left them
in with a sniff at 6-158 Henry Thornton (36*) and Jagot put on an unconquered 62 for the seventh wicket to take the points.
Winning the toss and batting, the initiative appeared lost at 2-30 with Jake Scicluna and Tom Jagot out. However, a blazing new PG record of
113 for the third wicket between Ryan Higgins (127 off 128 balls with 11 fours and one six) and Shaun Eaton (49 off 78 with two fours and a six)
set the scene for a solid total. And while no-one else got more than 12, the final target of 236 was a tough one. In reply, Hayden McLean (1-25)
Nathan Ellis (2-18) and Soumil Chhibber (1-29) struck early to have them 3-51. But after a 46 run partnership the introduction of Sam Wood
turned the tide as he broke the back of the batting with three quick wickets. Eaton (2-23) and Rehaan Nawaz (1-3 off one over) then chipped in
to secure the win in a tick over 40 overs and grab a bonus point in the process. Wood finished with 3-33 off 8 overs. A fantastic win and the sixth
in succession against Sydney who have never beaten us in this competition.
lost by 3 runs: 104 to 107
Manly batted first and after being 3-68 lost 7-39 to be all out for just 107. Hayden McLean (3-27), Jack Preddey (2-17) and Sam Wood (2-17) did
the damage. In reply we were cruising at 3-75 before the wheels fell off and we lost 7-29 to be out for 104. We were 7-102 needing 6 but the
last 3 fell for just 2 runs. Tom Jagot top scored with 45 with Ryan Higgins' 18 next best. One that got away.
A good start by Wests saw them at 1-93 before they were reduced to 3-99 by two run-outs. Shaun Eaton (3-18 off 8.4 overs) then chipped in
with three wickets before another three run-outs—a total of five for the innings—brought their knock to a close after 47.4 overs. Chasing a
gettable 176 with storms looming it was a disastrous start with our four 1st Grade “big-guns” all back in the pavilion with just 29 on the board.
Suffan Hassan (11 off 46 balls) and Soumil Chhibber (23 off 32) tried hard to turn it around but when the lightning strikes started and the heavy
rain fell we were behind the Duckworth Lewis par calculation by 27 runs. It was our fifth loss in seven PG games over the years against Wests.
We were struggling in good batting conditions with our five 1st graders back in the pavilion with just 43 on the board. But Suffan Hassan (39),
Jarryd Biviano (batting no.8 with 40) and Henry Thornton who batted no. 9 and top -scored with 52 off 54 balls (3 sixes) enabled a competitive
9-187 to be posted after 50 overs. In the run chase it was all one-way traffic with the students cleaned up in just 28.1 overs for only 82. Five
bowlers shared the wickets with Soumil Chhibber (2-3), Jack Preddey (2-11) and Shaun Eaton (2-21) returning the best figures. A huge win and
a bonus point to boot!
It was a very wet day in Sydney with all but two matches totally washed out. Our game was reduced to 35 overs a side and sending St George
in to bat produced instant results with Nathan Ellis grabbing three quick wickets. At 6-35 Saints were in real trouble but a 37 run partnership for
the seventh wicket and 20 for the tenth got them to 111. Ellis finished with 4-15 off seven overs while Hayden McLean ended with 1-9 off seven.
With the openers out early our 2-31 score-line looked reasonable enough. However at 4-67 Suffan Hassan’s dismissal for 27 triggered a collapse
which saw the final six wickets would up for just 13 runs and a disappointing total of just 80 which included 21 extras. Despite the loss, the team
held on to sixth spot to claim a place in the Qualifying Final.
An amazing game going down to the wire with Hayden McLean run-out of the last ball going for the win! Unfortunately for us the result meant
that ND’s progressed to the Semi-Final as they finished higher on the points table. ND’s batted first and were soon in trouble with Soumil
Chhibber (3-25 off 7 overs) claiming three quick wickets after Hayden McLean (1-16 off 7) had disposed of the opener and two run-outs were
effected. At 6-77 we needed to apply the blow torch. However a defiant partnership of 66 held our bowlers at bay until Jarryd Biviano claime d
his fifth dismissal of the innings with a catch off Ryan Higgins. Sam Wood and Nathan Ellis (2-25 off 7.4) cleaned up to give us a 167 chase which
began well with Biviano (12) and Higgins (23) putting on 36 before both were out on that score. Three more wickets fell for just 43 to have us in
trouble at 5-79. Skipper Jake Scicluna (42 off 87 balls) settled things down but when he went two more followed leaving us a perilous 8 -129. But
Rehaan Nawaz (10) and Hayden McLean took the score to 9-160 before Rehaan was caught. Sam Wood then joined McLean with just 10 balls to
go. But with McLean on 37 and the last ball in play with the scores 167 each, he was run-out attempting the winning run. An interesting feature
of this game was that no extras of any kind (no balls, wides, leg byes, byes) were conceded.

AW Green Shield Report
Position in Competition: 10th
4 wins; 3 losses
by Eddie Otto, Coach
Randy-Pete’s AWGS finished the season in a respectable 10th position winning four matches and losing three. The side narrowly
missed out on the finals by a single bonus point losing our last game to Sutherland by three wickets. In a year where we had 14
players making their AWGS debut for the club it was a very successful season which we can build on for next season. With 10
players again available for selection next summer we are in a very healthy position to challenge for a playoff berth in 2015-16.
The side was very competitive in six of our seven games. After starting the season in patchy form with one win from three games,
we managed to get on a roll after Christmas with three straight victories against Wests, Easts and Sydney. The highlight of our
season though came in Round 1 with a win over defending premiers Bankstown. The 24 run triumph was Bankstown's only loss in
this competition over a two year period as back to back premiers.
The team had a number of contributors all season and relied on disciplined bowling, energetic fielding and rear-guard actions with
the bat to stay competitive. However, there were some really good individual campaigns from our senior players which held the
side together. James Mahony-Brack was a consistent performer leading the way with bat and ball culminating in match winning
innings against Wests and Easts, both on sporting wickets. Nathan Shepherd batted intelligently all series, often keeping a calm
head and playing some classy shots as wickets fell around him. Our batting got better as the season progressed after a n
inconsistent start as we compiled scores of 200+ in our last couple of games. Elliot Brookes also captained the side well.
With the ball we managed to defend small targets on a couple of occasions when the odds were stacked against us. Leading the
charge was Tom Chichester who consistently took top order wickets and swung the ball with great accuracy. James Mahony-Brack
matched Tom with 12 wickets whilst Jack James bowled with great control and heart all series, often keeping things tight and
building great pressure from his end. Behind the stumps Nikki Radhakrishnan helped create this pressure by standing up to the
stumps against the medium pacers and pulling off some freakish dismissals, especially to help claim a remarkable comeback win
against Bankstown.
No successful and rewarding season is complete without a mixture of good on-field performances and a great support team off
the field. Rehaan Nawaz and Eamon Hawke were two young, dedicated assistant coaches who provided a great link between the
players and the head coach. Team manager Aden Nawaz was a tower of strength organising a number of social occasions for the
squad to bond, as well as making sure home games were well attended and organised. It was a real team effort and I know the
boys appreciated all his energy behind the scenes, at training and on game day. To all the parents who came and supported at
games and made the effort to get the boys to our busy program I thank you. Special mentions to David, Rod and Cate and Deb
your contributions were tremendous throughout the season.

In November 2014 the AWGS Squad launched its season at a function attended by the players and their families along with some
of the club’s 1st Grade and PGs players Nathan Ellis, Ryan Higgins, Jarryd Biviano, Hayden McLean, Rehaan Nawaz and Jake
Scicluna. After an enjoyable dinner, Green Shield Coach Eddie Otto and PGs coach Rob Huxley said a few words before the PG
boys all shared their experiences and reasons for choosing Randwick Petersham which was extremely well received by all in
attendance. PG Captain and 1st Grade opening bat Jake Scicluna presented all the Green Shield boys with their certificates.
This season we started to combine our AWGS and PGs program to create a culture the club can build on. I want to thank Rob
Huxley for his fantastic support, encouragement and work ethic with the PG'S and Green Shield squad. The joint training sessions,
the Buddy Program, the pre-season squad dinners, the get-togethers and the PG players attending a home game paved the way
for a real club culture being established between the two groups. We had a new and young squad this year and Rob's efforts
resulted in us have an AWGS team of players who became confident cricketers and could freely talk and train with some of the
best cricketers in our club. The culture we have tried to establish at this Under 16's and Under 21's level is something that was
really enjoyable and rewarding. However, we need to sustain and improve it with every passing year.
Lastly, I want to thank all the players for their efforts throughout the year. To win more games than we lost in a rebuilding year
was a great effort. More impressive to me was the squad mentality. To have players who were not in the 11 at every game getting
behind the team and helping out on match days did not go un-noticed. That is a sign of real character and mentality, and good
team players. We want to build on what we did this season and see all the boys in Randy-Petes colours for years to come.

Batting first after winning the toss, we were soon in trouble. Tyzac Bailey (20) at the top of the order was doing well but i t was left to Vishal
Nomula batting at no.7 to star with a top-scoring 49 and post a reasonable total. In the run chase it was skipper Elliott Brookes (2-10), Cameron
Creighton (2-22) and Thomas Chichester (2-27) to grab the initiative with some good bowling while the fielding was excellent claiming three runouts. A great start to the season for the boys against one of the most competitive teams in the competition.
Winning the toss and batting Manly were soon in control with an opening century partnership. James Mahony -Brack (2-29 off 7 overs), Elliott
Brookes (2-22 off 5) and Tom Chichester (2-47 off 10) pegged things back in the middle overs but their total was always going to be a formidable
task for our young side. No-one in the first six made it into double figures and it was left to Nathan Shepherd to produce the highlight of the day
for the home side. In an innings punctuated with a number of savage cut and pulls shots Nathan played a very smart innings with wickets falling
all around him to finish with 64.
At 4-68 runs were hard to come by although Himanshu Kakkireni did well with a solid 55 opening the batting. His innings included a number of
nice flicks and leg sides against the spinners on a track taking some turn. He was ably supported by Jack Standing (26) and Jack James (23) as the
middle order managed to rescue the poor start. However, a rain interruption saw a revised target of 173 off 42 overs set under the Duckworth
Lewis rules which Fairfield were able to achieve with seven overs to spare. The boys kept fighting right up till the end and but for a few missed
half chances might have been able to snatch a win. With the ball Jack James (4-19 off 9 overs) completed a great all round performance and
Vishal Nomula (1-30 off 9) bowled consistently without luck.
After three early wickets, Tom Chichester got into the act with two more to have the Magpies reeling at 5-61. James Mahony-Brack who had
taken the first wicket then completed a fine performance to end up with 4-22 off 10 overs. Chichester finished with 2-31 off 10. Losing Himanshu
Kakkireni fourth ball wasn’t the start we were after but that brought Mahony-Brack to the crease to produce his best batting effort to finish with
80 not out off 116 balls with seven fours and a six. Debutante Nivvi Radhakrishnan batted for 46 balls for seven to blunt the attack enabling
Nathan Shepherd to help Mahony-Brack with an important 23 and take the match with eight overs to spare. A solid win.
James Mahony-Brack carried on where he had left off on Tuesday with a dashing 54 to set the scene for a good score. Opener Nivvi Radhakrishnan
also did well with a hard-fought 20. Unfortunately the innings then fell away from 1-61 with only Jack Standing offering any real resistance with
14 to be left with an ordinary total of 132 and five overs still to be bowled. At 1-53 the Dolphins were well on track until a run-out by Vishal
Nomula followed four runs later by a stumping of their top scorer off his bowling and the scenario changed. Liam Lehir (3-9 off 6 overs) then
reduced them from 3-57 to 6-74 allowing Tom Chichester (3-14 off 6.4 overs) and Jack Standing (2-6 off 4) to clean up. Easts had lost 9-44 and it
was all over in just 36.4 overs to give the team a great win to grab equal 6th place on points and 9th on quotient.
Batting first, there were many fine contributions led by Jack James (52 not out) with a very intelligent innings. Nathan Shepherd (34), 11 years
old Nivvi Radhakrishnan (28), Tyzac Bailey (24), Vishal Nomula (23) and James Mahony-Brack (20) all looked in good knick. Our bowling unit, led
by James Mahony-Brack (4-23 off 7.1 overs and Tom Chichester (3-33 off 10) did the damage to restrict Sydney to all out in the 32nd over to
secure a bonus point to move the boys into the top 8. A dominating win.
Our batting was solid with the best opening partnership of the summer of 71 between Nivvi Radhakrishnan (17) and Elliott Broo kes (42) before
both were stumped. James Mahony-Brack consolidated with 33 while Nathan Shepherd (41*) put the finishing touches to a competitive total.
In reply the Sharks were cruising at 1-108 before Jack Standing (1-34) got the breakthrough. The bowlers then fought back to grab 5-36 in the
middle order before batsmen nos. 6 and 9 put on an unconquered 34 to get their side home. Bowlers Mahony-Brack (2-41) and Liam Lehir (236) returned the best figures. Sutherland’s 26 extras to our 46 including 36 wides may have been the difference between the sides. Unfortunately
the loss cost the boys a finals spot which they richly deserved after playing “above their weight” throughout the season with a very young side.

Masters (Over 40 years) Report
by John Mesar, Captain
This season Randwick Petersham
entered for the first time, a team
in the Sydney Masters Cricket
Association competition. We
approached the season with high
hopes but found it tough going
being seeded in the top 10, a
situation we believe should not
have happened. As with any new
side in Masters they start their
first season in the bottom 10 to
find their feet. When I questioned
the seeding I was told that we
should be able to recruit quite a
few ex and possible current Grade
players from the large stocks of
Randwick Petersham, thus the #5
seeding.
Unfortunately, this did not
eventuate. As with most teams in
the top 10, they have two to three
ex 1st graders along with some
lower graded players in their
ranks. Anyway with all this in mind our finishing position of 7th from 20 teams was a very creditable performance. There were
some lion hearted performances throughout the season from our bowlers and batsmen, all of whom can hold their heads high.
We are hopeful of recruiting some ex 1st Grade players for next season as we will again be in the top 10 after finishing 7th. This
should allow us to be more competitive against the stronger teams in the competition.
On behalf of the entire Randwick Petersham Masters Cricket Team, we are all looking forward to the start of next season, and
would like to thank the Club and its committee for allowing us to play under their banner.

New Records This Season
Partnerships
7th wicket 1st Grade: In round 2 against Hawkesbury at Coogee we were in a bit of trouble at 6-127 chasing 252. However, the
Sams brothers got together in a new CLUB and 1ST GRADE RECORD by scoring 183 for the 7th wicket to enable a good win to be
recorded (Anthony Sams 105*; Daniel Sams 82). The previous club record was established 12 years earlier in 2001-02, our first
season, when David Fraser and Marc Anderson hit 133 against Parramatta in 3rd Grade. The previous 1st Grade record was set
only last season when Adam Semple and Daniel Sams scored 121 against Sutherland at Glenn McGrath Oval.
10th wicket 4th Grade: In round 12 against Bankstown and attempting to starve off an outright defeat, the side was 9-51 (having
scored just 57 in the first innings) when Cam Fowler joined Jaya Murdita. Murdita had made a duck in the first innings while Fowler
was a late replacement on day two due to representative duties in higher grades. Together the pair put on 73 in 22 minutes with
Murdita run out for 54 in 27 minutes with seven fours and a six. Fowler remained unconquered on 20 made in 22 minutes with
three fours. That partnership bettered the previous record of 66 set last season by Oshanka Perera and Grant Rimmer.
3rd wicket Poidevin Gray: In round 2 versus Sydney at Drummoyne Oval, the initiative in winning the toss and batting appeared
lost at 2-30 with 1st graders Jake Scicluna and Tom Jagot both out. However, a blazing new PG record of 113 for the third wicket
between Ryan Higgins (127 off 128 balls with 11 fours and one six) and Shaun Eaton (49 off 78 with two fours and a six) set the
scene for a solid total of 236 which would see a win by 100 runs. The previous best was set in 2004-05 when Michael Watson and
Matthew Taylor hit an unfinished 98 against Mosman at Rawson Park.
7th wicket Poidevin Gray: In round 5 against Uni. of NSW at Coogee Oval, Suffan Hassan (39) and Henry Thornton (52) broke an
11 year old partnership record when they put on 79 for the seventh wicket. They came together with the score a shaky 6-96. The
final score of 9-187 was enough for the team to record a convincing win. The previous record was 78 between Paul Greentree and
James Byrne against UTS Balmain in 2002-03.
9th wicket Metropolitan Cup: In round 1 against Uni. of NSW at David Phillips South, skipper Lasith Fernando (114) and Andrew
White (14) combined to put on 91 for the ninth wicket which broke the previous best of 75 set by Denis Hinds and John Stewart
against Sydney University in 2006-07. Unfortunately their effort was in vain as the team was out for 276 chasing 315.
Greatest
Winning Margins:
5th Grade: The outright win by 10 wickets over Bankstown in round 12 was the team’s greatest-ever winning margin. The previous
best was a nine wickets outright defeat of Sydney University in 2006-07. It was also the team’s 12th win from 14 games against
that club but the first outright result. The scores were: RPC 161 & 0-23 to 50 & 133.
Greatest Losing Margins:
3rd Grade: The nine wickets loss to St George in round 6 was a new single innings record losing margin by wickets. The previous
being by Campbelltown in 2005-06 which was also nine wickets but the scores were lower (138 to 1-140). The scores were RPC
171 to 1-172.
4th Grade: The loss by 164 runs to Sydney University in round 8 was a new record single innings loss by runs for 4th Grade breaking
the record 130 runs loss to Bankstown in 2013-14. The scores were RPC 128 to 5-292cc.
4th Grade: The outright loss by 10 wickets to Bankstown in round 12 was the team’s greatest ever losing margin by wickets. The
previous worst for 4th Grade was an outright loss by six wickets in 2001-02 when Manly trounced us. The scores were: RPC 57 &
124 to 3-178 dec. & 0-4.
4th Grade: The loss by nine wickets to Gordon at Killara in round 10 was a new single innings record losing margin by wickets for
4th Grade. The scores were: RPC 9-212cc to 1-214. The previous record was also nine wickets by Gordon which was in the Grand
Final of 2004-05 although the scores in that match were not as high as this season’s game (RPC 141 to 1-142).
Wor thy of Mention:
1st Grade: Having been sent in to bat at Petersham by Bankstown in round 12 and after being 4-113, the 1st Grade team
rebounded to score 8-413 which is third behind the 6-428 scored against Mosman (again at Petersham) in 2002-03 when Simon
Katich hit 177 with 9 sixes. Second best was our 9-427 declared in the drawn match against St George at Coogee on 2010-11 when
Adam Coyte scored 223 not out.

Phillip Joel Hughes 1988-2014
Australian Test player no. 408
The cricket world was stunned on 27 November 2014 when the news broke that Australian cricketer Phillip
Hughes had passed away. He had been struck by a ball two days earlier from New South Wales pace bowler
Sean Abbott in the Sheffield Shield match against South Australia at the Sydney Cricket Ground.
Randwick Petersham life member Simon Katich, a team mate of Phillip’s for New South Wales and
Australia, put together the following fitting tribute to the diminutive opening batsman.
I still cannot believe what happened to our little mate on Tuesday afternoon in the middle of
the SCG. A ground that has seen many memorable moments on the hallowed turf from
Bradman to Lockett. But when Phil Hughes collapsed at the wicket and lay motionless, it had
seen its most shocking and heart-breaking moment.
The cricketing world is mourning the tragic loss of one of our brothers. The pain we are all
feeling is immeasurable because of the person our little mate Hughesy was.
My nickname for him was "Luigi", because of his mum Virginia's Italian heritage and the fact
he could grow a full beard in less than a day! He was cheeky, charming, humble, respectful
and confident. But most importantly, he had been brought up by his beautiful parents Greg
and Virginia to never forget where he came from. He was a country kid with a huge smile that
lit up the room and his fun-loving and happy-go-lucky nature made him a pleasure to be
around.
I first met Hughesy back in 2007 when he forced his way into the NSW Sheffield Shield team as
a 19-year-old. When he became the youngest player in history to score a ton in the Pura Cup
(Sheffield Shield) final of 2007-08, we knew we were witnessing a very special talent.
I was fortunate to be out there with him when he raised his ton and the celebration we
witnessed was as good as any in the history of the game. The NSW boys still talk about it to this day.
My other memory of Hughesy from the final was that he was right by my side in the team photo with the Pura Cup, and the smile
on his face told it all. He had the most amazing cheeky grin that will forever be in our memories.
For the first few years of his career at NSW, I always felt like he was my little shadow. Whenever I would be watching the bo ys
batting, he would be there sitting next to me on the balcony. He was even cheeky enough to get himself into third slip when we
were fielding, which meant he was just metres away from me at first slip. In the old days, he would have done his time at short
leg and even though he was built for short leg, he was smart enough to be that bad at it we got him out of there.
He even managed to avoid doing it when he came into the Aussie team in 2009 in South Africa. I'll never forget playing our tour
match at Potchefstroom and thinking that with Hughesy likely to make his debut, I would finally be able to hand over the short leg
shin pads to him. When I was told by Punter (Ricky Ponting) that that would not be happening, the little bugger laughed his head
off, knowing my old back was going to be stiff from more days of squatti ng down while he could sit back and enjoy the show!
Only Hughesy could've got away with that and he would always tell Punter how good I was in there just to really make sure he
was safe from the dreaded job.
Randwick Petersham
and Manly players
and officials pay
tribute to Phillip
Hughes prior to the
start of the Poidevin
Gray under 21 years
match at Manly Oval
Sunday 30 November
2014
When Hughesy got the nod to play the first Test in South Africa in 2009, we joked
to each other that it would be the first time in Australian Test history that "two
hairy wogs" would open the batting for Australia. It was our special bond even
though our games were the complete opposite. We loved opening the batting
together and in the second Test in Durban in 2009 we all witnessed two of the
most amazing innings against one of the best attacks in the world at the time.
What he did to Dale Steyn, Makhaya Ntini, Morne Morkel and Jacques Kallis in
those two innings was simply breathtaking as he played with the freedom of
youth and not a care in the world.
He was still the same character whether he made a duck or 100. He loved making
runs just as much as he loved his bulls back home in Macksville and when he
spoke about either, he had that glint in his eye that told you these were his two
passions.

The game of cricket can be very cruel to those who play it. In this instance, words cannot describe how cruel it has been to Hughesy,
his family and to Sean Abbott and the rest of the NSW boys. Nobody deserved to witness this tragic outcome, particularly when
playing a game they all love dearly.
That is why when the boys are ready, they will honour our mate Hughesy by going back out there and playing with the passion
and skill that he displayed so many times during his career. I know that will be extremely difficult to do but he would have wanted
it that way and it is heartbreaking to think that he can't be a part of that in the years to come.
I believe we hadn't seen the best of him at Test level. At the tender age of 25, he still had many years in him to come back and
show us all how good he was. He had it in him to fight back just as greats like Steve Waugh, Matthew Hayden and Justin Langer
had done after being in and out of the team. He had the heart and work ethic of all these greats and it was only a matter of time
before he broke through the mental barrier that Test cricket makes you overcome to be a consistent performer.
To Greg, Virginia, Jason and Megan, we are all deeply saddened and heartbroken by the loss of your beautiful son and brother
Phillip. The great times we shared together as teammates will never be forgotten. He was a magnificent cricketer but more
importantly he will be remembered for being the down-to-earth, fun-loving kid from Macksville who touched us all for who he
was as a person.
Rest in peace, Luigi. Like the whole of Australia, I will miss you enormously little fella!
SIMON KATICH
Phillip Hughes celebrates his Test century against South Africa at Kingsmead, Duban in 2009 with his opening partner Simon Katich. Hughes
made 115 and Katich 108 in a partnership worth 184. Hughes also made 160 in the second innings. Australia won the match by 175 runs.

The Award Winners 2014-15
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.
Nathan Price
Nathan Price is the first player to win this award twice having previously taken it out in 201011. And what a great two-time winner he is! Nathan has been a consistently outstanding
performer since joining us in 2009 and one of the best cricketers the club has had
throughout its short 14 years history. He topped the batting this season as he had done last
year, scoring 525 runs at 40.38. This was the fourth season in his six years with the club that
he has passed the 500 mark with the 712 he notched in 2011-12 his best. He hit five halfcenturies with 97 not out against Sutherland his top score while regularly dominating
opposing bowlers with his fluent strokeplay and determined approach. With the ball he only
bowled 96 overs yet secured another 11 wickets to add to his career tally of 70 while in the
field he snared 12 catches to take his total to 58. These are healthy statistics in anyone’s
language, but they don’t tell the full story of Nathan’s ability to bat to suit the circumstances,
take wickets at crucial times and field brilliantly in any position.
A dedicated performer, Nathan drives from his home in Waratah, Newcastle for each match
and is entitled to the success he has achieved. He has played Second XI cricket for NSW and
Futures Cup cricket and is well regarded by State selectors. He is also a regular member of
the Australian Indigenous Imparja Cup team. In his six seasons with Randwick Petersham he
has scored 2,802 runs, the fifth highest total. He also has played 107 matches, only the third
player behind Adam Semple (155) and Usman Khawaja (125) to pass the century mark. Had he been entitled to add the runs he
has rattled up in Twenty 20 cricket over the years he would have a total far in excess of the above figure. And as an extra, Nathan
holds the club and 1st Grade record partnership of 182 for the eighth wicket with Adam Semple set in 2011-12.
In this year’s Player of the Season, Nathan totalled 750 points, 30 ahead of second placed Rod Stafford. As one who has captained
a Randwick Petersham team to a Limited Overs Competition premiership in 2011-12, Nathan is highly respected by his teammates, opposition players and umpires alike. Nathan Price is the complete cricketer and a very worthy player to wear the mantle
of Randwick Petersham Cricket Player of the Year.
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 Petersham-Marrickville in 1994.
John McLoughlin
As one of the most consistent cricketers Randwick Petersham has had in its 14 years history, John
McLoughlin achieved a number of important milestones this year as well as making a major
contribution towards the administration of the club. Appointed captain of the 2nd Grade team he
celebrated in the very first game with a wonderful 135 against Campbelltown-Camden at Raby
Oval as part of a season total of 495 which took him past the 5,000 runs for the club--one of only
three players to reach that mark. He also passed 3,000 runs in 2nd Grade to finish the leading rungetter in that grade with 3,123. Adding to those performances, his 10 catches this season took
him past 100 for the club to 108, only the second player to break the century. His current 61
catches in 2s is also the highest number ever taken in that grade. He also finished with 196
matches for the club including 99 in 2nd Grade—just short of two other milestones which should
be achieved early next season.
Apart from his on-field heroics, John was heavily involved with John Stewart in bringing the
proposed match against World Cup contender Ireland at Coogee Oval to reality. It was a task which
took both Johns almost 12 months to achieve. Apart from that, “Macca” continued in his role as
website manager while also a member of the club’s leadership group and selection committee.
In 2007 John was named the Most Promising Player in the Club, a decision which has proved justified many times over since that
time. And while he is 35 years of age, John’s performances this season have defied any suggestion that he cannot continue to
produce in the future the quality cricket he has delivered season after season. He has been a loyal and dedicated son of Rand wick
Petersham and Randwick since he first pulled on an A W Green Shield cap with Rod Stafford and Nigil Singh in the summer of
1996-97. John McLoughlin is indeed a worthy winner of this most prestigious 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 2nd 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.
Eddie Otto
Eddie Otto was identified in Randwick Petersham’s first season in 2001-02 as one of its most
promising juniors. And so it turned out to be as he went on to make his 1st Grade debut two years
later in 2003-04 at just 19 years of age. A right hand bat and left arm orthodox bowler, Otto had
a successful Grade Cricket career with both bat and ball. However, to the surprise of all he decided
to hang up his boots after the 2010-11 at the tender age of just 26 with 2,737 runs, three
centuries, 52 catches and 142 wickets to his name. But while he was lost as a player Eddie was
not lost to the game, putting his energies into the coaching and development of players in the
under 16 years A W Green Shield squad and through the Randwick Petersham Cricket Academy.
In 2011-12 under Eddie’s leadership, a two day camp was conducted by the Academy during the
school holidays at the Sydney Cricket Ground indoor centre. A few weeks later additional sessions
were conducted in the Coogee Oval pavilion with Usman Khawaja and Monty Panesar offering
important advice to the youngsters. This past winter Eddie had spread the program over a seven
week period in June and July culminating with an hour-long session in the Indoor Centre theatre
by life member and former champion Australian opening batsman Simon Katich. Former
Australian opening bowler Trent Copeland was also engaged to work with the up-and-coming
pace bowlers. An innovation by Eddie was the introduction of a “buddy-system” between the
under 21 Poidevin Gray team and the Green Shield boys which resulted in players attending each
other’s matches.
Over the past four seasons Eddie Otto has been coach of the A W Green Shield squad and it is no surprise that during that time
our youngsters have performed well in the competition with many of them already entering the Grade ranks with success. The
dedication, enthusiasm and expertise Eddie Otto has provided to the development of our junior talent has been of special valu e
to the club and the youngsters themselves. Honouring Eddie Otto with this award is both appropriate and well-deserved.
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 player and 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.
Jack Preddey
In just his second season with the club, 17 years old leg-spinning all-rounder Jack Preddey
has shown he has enough talent to be a major force in the game. A regular second-grader
despite his tender years, he had a fine season taking 24 wickets at 27.67 and scoring 239
at 23.90. He also chipped in with half a dozen catches.
Bowling leg-breaks in the classic style, young Jack is fast earning a reputation as a wickettaker as there were only two occasions in 13 spells of more than six overs this season
when he didn’t take a 2nd Grade wicket. Against Penrith at Coogee, he returned match
figures of 5-71 off 27 overs in a game his team came within an ace of winning outright.
Again playing Hawkesbury he shouldered the brunt of the bowling with 4-73 off 18 overs
while against Bankstown on a Bankstown Oval “road” when they rattled up 345, Jack
toiled away for almost 24 overs in returning a well-earned 4-106.
The respect Preddey is gaining as a high-quality bowler was evidenced by the Ireland
cricket team during their week at Coogee leading up to the World Cup, when they asked
for his presence at all their training sessions. And to show he is serious about his game
Jack ventured to the UK during the 2015 winter to gain experience with the London based
club Chingford in the Essex League.
Another important string to Jack’s bow is his batting. It has really come on this summer.
Scoring 239 batting regularly at number 8 is clear evidence of a prospective top allrounder in action. He had a couple of 40s batting in that spot although when given the
chance to bat higher at number 6 as he did on one occasion, he responded with a classic 70 in quick time.
Jack’s father Mark was a wonderful leg-spin bowler for Randwick and a member of its 1981-82 1st Grade premiership team. Son
Jack appears to be made from the same mould. There are exciting times ahead in the Preddey household.
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.
Liam O’Loughlin
Liam O’Loughlin is an exciting prospect in more ways than one. Not only is he a promising right-arm off-spin bowler but he is the
grand-son of our life-member John O’Loughlin who passed away last year. It will be a great occasion when the 17 year old makes
the transition from Metropolitan Cup to Grade Cricket debut as it will signal the third generation of O’Loughlin’s to play for
Randwick / Randwick Petersham as his father Paul was also a Randwick cricketer.
Liam arrived unannounced at the start of the season and didn’t say much for about six weeks but was watched over studiously by
dad Paul as he took his place in the Metro Green line-up. He made the occasional comment during the rest of the season but was
content to let his actions do the talking. His no-frills bowling action grew over the season to annoy batsmen more each game –
exactly what a right arm off-spinner is to do. He trained conscientiously and gradually got the rewards to finish with 16 wickets at
an average of 23 with 4-14 his best. He also took four catches but has a lot of fielding practice to look forward to next season. His
batting features a fairly regular step to leg but like his bowling, achieves better results than looks indicate. He had the honour of
hitting the winning runs against semi-finalists UNSW on a wicket where most batsmen struggled and failed. He was a cool
customer in a very tense situation and without raising a sweat casually hoiked the opening bowler to forward midwicket to bring
off a great win. He had a good start to senior cricket and will be an interesting proposition next season where he could surprise.
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.
Kyriakos Tsalikidis
In his second year at the club and at just 17 years of age, Kryi had a breakthrough season that saw him finish the year in 4th Grade
after a brief but successful stint in Metro Cup. A right arm leg spinner, his control, coupled with prodigious turn and bounce was
just too good for most opposing batsmen, as his season tally of 29 wickets at 14.34 with best figures of 4-25 shows. He took three
wickets in an innings five times and four twice while conceding only around three runs per over. His 3-29 off 10 overs in the final
4th Grade game of the season was followed by an almost identical performance when he took 3-29 off 11 overs in the 5th Grade
Qualifying Final against Manly. His consistency was a prime reason he was one of the more competitive candidates to take out
the club’s prestigious Flight Centre MVP Award. A hard hitting lower order batsman and enthusiastic fielder, the development of
Kyriakos Tsalikidis in the coming seasons is much anticipated.
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.
Hayden McLean
Hayden McLean didn’t head the PG statistics this season. There were eight players who scored more runs and three others who
took more wickets. But there can be no doubt about his application and determination. As the new ball bowler with Nathan Ellis,
Hayden took seven wickets at 22.71. His best was 3-27 off 10 overs against Manly at Manly Oval when the side went down by just
three runs while against St George at Coogee he sent down seven overs for 1-9. He bowled wholeheartedly throughout the
competition conceding just 2.89 runs per over--the best economy rate among the bowlers. And despite being a tail-ender he put
value on his wicket to be dismissed only once in his four trips to the crease. In the Quarter Final against Northern District at Mark
Taylor Oval he came in when the chips were down but figured in the season’s best partnerships for the 8th, 9th and 10th wickets
only to be run-out for 37 (40 balls; two fours; two sixes) off the last ball going for the winning run. Had he made that run the side
would have made the Semi-Finals instead of losing out because of a lower competition position in a tied match. With a “bullet
arm” in the field he effected a couple of valuable run-outs to prove his worth as a complete team player and entitled to this award
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.
James Mahony-Brack
James Mahony-Brack is a cricketer loaded with potential. This season was his second in the A W Green Shield competition. Last
season he scored 72 runs and took 10 wickets. This summer he topped both batting and bowling with 219 runs and 12 wickets.
A right hand bat and right arm medium pace bowler, James was a leading performer throughout the
series while he played match-winning innings in two of the matches. His best score was 80 not out off
116 balls with seven fours and a six in the match against Wests having taken 4-22 off 10 overs when they
had batted. The result of his efforts was a six wickets win. Two days later against Easts he hit a dashing
54 to set up a good score and a 35 runs win for his team. But he didn’t stop there. He hit 20 and took 423 in the next game against Sydney and finished off the season with 33 and 2-41 against Sutherland. He
also made his Grade debut this season playing six matches and hitting an impressive 50 against St George
in 5th Grade. An exciting player of the future.
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.
Nathan Shepherd
In a match where his team was up-against-it, Nathan Shepherd produced one of the best
fighting innings of the summer. It was round 2 of the competition with Randwick Petersham
playing Manly-Warringah at Petersham Oval. Manly had batted and posted a big sco re of 8261 at the end of their 50 overs. In the run chase, none of the first six in the batting line-up
made more than six runs with the score a teetering 6-38. Batting at number seven, Nathan
displayed fighting qualities far greater than his tender years as he defied the attack while
taking every opportunity to score. In three hard-fought partnerships with the tail he managed
to get the score to 122 before he was ninth out for a superb 64. And while the side’s total of
128 was a well-beaten one, there was no doubting the value of Nathan’s innings as one which
did much to raise the spirit of the side for the matches ahead. Nathan finished the season
with another fine innings scoring an unconquered 41 against Sutherland to give him a season
tally of 188 which was the second highest in the team. A promising youngster who made his
Grade debut this summer with a match in 5th Grade, his development will be followed with
much interest in the seasons ahead.
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.
Nathan Price
Quality fielders can invariably change the course of a match and there are none better
than Nathan Price, who now has the honour of winning this award twice having first
won it in 2009-19, his first season with the club. Nathan is at home in the slips, or in the
ring, but the majority of his 12 catches this season have been in the slips cordon. He
makes taking difficult chances look easy, as he picks up the ball very early and is a
natural athlete. In an age where cricketers aspiring to participate at representative level
must be talented fielders, Nathan sets high standards in this regard irrespective of
where he is positioned.
In six seasons since joining us from Waratah in Newcastle, Nathan has taken 58 catches,
second only to Richard Chee Quee who has the record of 61. It seems a mere formality
that Nathan Price will pass that mark very early in the 2015-16 season.
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 PetershamMarrickville 1st Grade team during the 1970’s.
Suffan Hassan
Suffan Hassan is an extremely popular and committed member of Randwick Petersham Cricket. Joining us from Western Suburbs
a couple of seasons ago, the 21 year old’s hard work at training in the off-season certainly paid off, scoring 419 runs at 32.23 in
2nd Grade while holding six catches. He hit four fifties with his 87 against North Sydney and 80 against Bankstown being innings
of quality.
Suffan also performed creditably with the bat in the Poidevin Gray side where his application to play for the team in sometimes
difficult circumstances gained the respect of his team-mates and coaches.
One of the first to arrive and last to leave at practice, Suffan is a diligent trainer who recognises the need to work hard to achieve
goals. He is a quiet achiever whose continued dedication will soon see him pushing for a spot in 1st Grade.
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: Stuart Parsons—559 Runs
Stuart Parsons joined us from Berkshire, UK, this season and played some dashing innings. The 21 year old right-hand opening
bat’s strength was hitting long and straight although he was equally effective off his pads. He started in Metro but after 159 runs
including a 69 not out he was promoted to 4ths. After a couple of games where he scored only 20, he went to 5s where he spent
the remainder of the season. He topped the 5th Grade batting with 380 at 42.22. In round 9 chasing 151 to win, he smashed the
Mosman attack to record 105 not out with 11 fours in just 64 minutes to give his side an easy win. He followed up with fiftie s
against Gordon and Bankstown to confirm his bright future in the game. In all three grades he totalled 559 runs to be the highest
runs-scorer in the club for 2014-15 and take out this award.
MOST WICKETS: Nigil Singh—42 Wickets
After 14 seasons with the club and four with Randwick before that, Nigil Sigh is entitled to be designated a veteran. But that label
has not dimmed his ability with a new cricket ball in his hand. Randwick Petersham’s leading wicket-taker with 384 scalps, he
dropped from a regular 3rd grader last season to 5th Grade this year with somewhat expected results for a player of his ability.
He finished 5ths with 41 wickets at 11.54 and another 1-40 from his sole 4th Grade game to give him 42 at 12.21 for the season,
the highest number in the club. Against Bankstown the 33 year-old took 10 wickets in the match with 4-25 and 6-10 to give his
team an historic outright victory over one of Sydney’s top clubs. He also took 6-24 against Penrith and 5-31 versus Sutherland. He
has taken five wickets in an innings 18 times in his RPC career. This was the fourth time he has won the season bowling aggregate.
WICKETKEEPING AWARD for MOST DISMISSALS
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.
Anthony Sams—30 dismissals
Anthony Sams has won this award for the third time in the past five seasons. This season he
was able to add to his career tally of 164 dismissals with another 30 to edge closer to the 200
mark which can be expected to be achieved early in the new season. This year he caught 28
and stumped two while effecting three dismissals in an innings six times. He finished third in
the competition in terms of the number of dismissals. Apart from being the club’s leading 1st
Grade wicket-keeper, Anthony has also become the most successful glove-man in the 14 years
history of Randwick Petersham this season passing Matthew Taylor’s record of 182. And while
he is a superb ‘keeper worthy of consideration by State selectors for that skill alone, he has
added an extra arrow to his bow this season with his batting. He moved from lower order to
opening bat and was simply fantastic with the willow hitting 504 runs with two centuries. He
was also named as “man of the match” in the international clash with Cricket Ireland with a
top score for the match of 80 while not conceding a single bye behind the stumps.
THE ENCOURAGEMENT AWARDS
THE PHIL TRESIDDER FAMILY AWARD
Phil Tresidder was a Life Member and Patron of the club who died in 2003. Phil was involved with the Randwick club for 60 years and served as
President for 10 years. This award is sponsored by his niece Christine Hall and her husband Christopher.
Cooper Smith: A new ball bowler with good height, Cooper was a star of the A W Green Shield competition last season making
the Combined side. In his first full season of Grade Cricket this year he has confirmed that promise with some rousing spells of
pace bowling in 4th and 5th grades. He was a regular at knocking over an opposing opening bat to finish with 17 wickets for t he
season. The bonus however, was his batting which came on in leaps and bounds with a total of 249 runs in the two grades. His
top score was 48 while he had two other 40s, a 37 and two 20s all batting no higher than no. 7. He is a real prospect.
THE PETER ROLLS AWARD
Peter Rolls is a Life Member of the club and a former 1st Grade player with Petersham-Marrickville.
Sam Wood: Our leading bowler in A W Green Shield two years ago, Sam Wood continued his development this season with
some impressive performances in 3rd Grade. He took 5-43 off 14 overs in the opening match against Campbelltown at Petersham
then followed up two games later with 5-38 off 13 against Penrith, knocking over the last man to finish the match in a rare tie. He
was soon-after promoted to 2nd Grade although opportunities were restricted in the latter part of th e season. With his Poidevin
Gray performances he ended the season with 28 wickets and with his handy batting is certainly a player to watch.
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.
Shimul Nath: Shimul joined the club this season and while impressing pre-season, his form did not translate into success in the
early matches. After missing the middle of the season the 18 years old right-arm leg-spinner returned in round 8 with a bang,
claiming 4-36 against eventual Premiers Penrith. He later led Metro Green to victory over Fairfield with season-best figures of 636. Having taken 18 wickets he was selected in 3rd Grade's victory over Sutherland in round 14 bowling three overs for 19.
THE WAYNE MULHERIN AWARD
Wayne Mulherin is a Life Member of the club and former President of Petersham-Marrickville who played Sheffield Shield cricket for NSW.
Savio Gracias Flor: Savio was part of the 2012-13 Green Shield side and returned to the club following his HSC. After a couple
of matches in the Metro Cup Savio joined the 4th Grade side for the remainder of the season where his all-round talent saw him
contribute with both bat and ball. A genuine all-rounder able to bat in the top order and bowl with the new ball, Savio shows
enormous potential and his desire to succeed both will see him as an important member of the Randy Pete’s in future seasons.
THE JOHN CONNELL AWARD
John Connell has been a manager of many club teams including a number which have won premierships.
Will Lawrance: While school commitments limited Will’s game time, when he did pull on the green and gold his performances
were first class. An aggressive top order batsman, Will displays a maturity beyond his 17 years which, coupled with enormous
talent, will ensure him a bright future in the game. Playing 4th Grade, Will posted classy innings’ of 93 against Gordon and 44
against Sydney Uni. A talented leg spinner and natural fielder in any position, we look forward to getting Will on deck full time
once school commitments are completed.
THE MIKE WHITNEY AWARD
Mike Whitney is the President of the club, a Life Member and former Australian and NSW left hand fast bowler who played for Randwick between
1976 and 1994.
Nikethan Radhakrishnan: At just 12 years of age, Nikki is a wicketkeeper/batsman with a big future. After making his debut
for Randy Pete’s as a batsman in 3rd Grade, Nikki spent the majority of the season in 4s where he was a mainstay at the top of
the order. His undoubted talent was on show scoring 78 against eventual premiers Penrith and 65 against UNSW. His glove-work
behind the stumps also saw him take 20 catches and effect 12 stumpings throughout the whole season. With still another season
of Green Shield ahead, Nikki is considered one of the most promising players in the club.
SPECIAL RECOGNITION AWARD
The club awards a ‘Special Recognition Award’ to players and administrators who make a significant one-off contribution that enhances the club and
its aims and objectives. The Award is made at the behest of the President.
John Stewart and John McLoughlin
During the 2014-15 season both John Stewart (left) and John McLoughlin
undertook the management and administration of the Cricket Ireland week.
It involved considerable negotiation with Cricket Ireland personnel and
organisation of accommodation, training, game day preparations, liaison
with sponsors and the Irish Embassy. Discussions were also had with
Randwick Council regarding a formal welcome to the Cricket Ireland team.
The running of the event needed to be managed within a tight budgetary
framework. The President and Management Committee saw this as an event
that if successfully run, would significantly enhance the reputation and
standing of the club.
In the aftermath, Richard Holdsworth, Cricket Ireland Performance Director
wrote to the Club to say “The Cricket Ireland Team and Management are
indebted to you all for making us feel so welcome, bending over backwards to support our needs, and for organising such a
tremendous week ahead of the ICC World Cup…the players have had a great preparation ahead of next week (the ICC World Cup)
and we could not have done it without your commitment and hard work…we are so grateful to you all for your efforts.”
John Stewart and John McLoughlin are worthy recipients of the Special Recognition Award for their work over many months to
make this event a success.
Randwick Petersham v The Cricket Club of India
With India visiting Australia this summer for a Test Series and a number of One Day Internationals, the team received support
from one of its major and most influential cricket clubs, the Cricket Club of India (CCI) which also had a team touring the country.
The CCI is one of the oldest and most exclusive sporting clubs in India. It is a private club established in Mumbai in 1933, with an
objective to promote cricket and other sports in the country. Its art-deco heritage-listed club adjoins its home ground Brabourne
Stadium which was the venue for the first Test match between India and West Indies in December 1948. A further 16 Test matches
were staged at the ground in the following 25 years to 1973.
In 2006 Brabourne Stadium returned to the arena of international cricket by being one of the venues of the ICC Champions Trophy.
The final of that tournament, between Australia and West Indies, was staged at the ground.
Brabourne Stadium also became the host venue for the first T20 international on Indian soi l when India beat Australia in a oneoff game in October 2007. In 2009, Brabourne Stadium hosted a memorable Test match between India and Sri Lanka where
Virendra Sehwag scored a brilliant 293 to take India to an innings victory.
With the Fourth Test being played in Sydney early in the New Year, the ICC approached Randwick Petersham to stage a match
around that time at Coogee Oval. With Grade Cricket in recess over the Christmas period, the match provided an ideal opportunity
for a number of our players to not only get some much-needed match practice but to play against a club of international standing.
The game was played as a 45 overs per side affair with a 10 am starting time on Sunday 4 January 2015 at Coogee Oval. It was a
match played in true spirit with plenty of competition between the sides. In a game where 447 runs were scored in the day with
27 boundaries and 11 sixes, CCI managed to come out winners with 17 balls remaining.

Major Milestones
200 Games
Alex Sciascia and Rodney Stafford brought up the magic 200 games for the club this season. They join Matt Hilder and David
Bourke who brought up the milestone last year. Hilder now has 220 and Bourke 217.
Alex Sciascia began the season with 198 and brought up 200 games in round 2 on 11 October 2014 against Hawkesbury at Owen
Earle Oval. He finished the season with 206. Alex was a member of Randwick Petersham’s first 4th Grade side which lost to
University of NSW in 2001 and has missed very few games since then. He commenced his Grade career with Petersham-Marrickville
in 5th Grade as a 16 year old in 1998-99. Two years later he made his 2nd Grade debut. In his time with Pete’s he played 33 matches
which, when added to his RPC record of 206 gives him a total of 239 games in all. With his 5,270 RPC runs scored in grades 1-4 and
631 scored for Petersham-Marrickville, his career total of 5,901 runs reflects a wonderful Grade Cricket career.
Rodney Stafford had 191 games up at the start of the summer and brought up his 200 in round 10 on 24 January 2015 in 3rd
Grade just 14 days after he was married. He finished the season with 205. Rodney missed RPC’s first season nursing a leg injury
from soccer but he lined up in its second in 2002-03 and he has hardly missed a match since then. He played 2nds that season and
after topping the bowling honours made his 1st Grade debut the following year. He commenced his Grade career with Randwick
in 5th Grade as a 16 year old in 1997-98 playing the full season of 17 matches. By 1999-2000 he was a regular member of Randwick’s
2nd XI. When the merger came about in 2001, Rodney had played 59 games with Randwick, which, when added to his RPC total of
205, gives him a career total of 264 matches. He also played 36 PG and A W Green Shield games with Randwick which, when added
to his Grade record gives him a neat 300.
5,000 Runs
John McLoughlin this season joined Usman Khawaja (5,552) and Alex Sciascia (5,270) as the only players to score in excess of
5,000 runs for Randwick Petersham. John commenced the season with 4,948 but quickly put the milestone behind him by scoring
his fifth century when he hit 135 in 2nd Grade against Campbelltown-Camden at Raby Oval in the first round of the season. From
there it was a matter of putting the “cream on the cake” as he went on to top the batting with 495 runs at an average of 38.08.
This was the fifth occasion he had passed 400 for the season to place him among the club’s most consistent batsmen. He finished
the season with 5,443 to make him the second highest scoring batsman in the club’s history and just 109 behind Usman Khawaja.
His runs have been scored in 210 innings in 196 matches in all five grades since 2001. John is also the leading batsman in 2nd Grade
with 3,123 and needs just one more match to bring up the century in that grade. Taking into account the four seasons he had with
Randwick prior to the 2001 merger when he scored 1,275 in 65 innings in four grades his Grade career total is 6,718 runs.
3,500 runs and 150 wickets in 1st Grade
Adam Semple confirmed his title as Randwick Petersham’s most successful 1st Grade all-rounder when he achieved a “doublemilestone” this season by passing 3500 runs and 150 wickets. With his 403 runs and 18 wickets he now has 3,646 runs and 155
wickets. His top score was a backs-to-the wall 104 against Penrith at Howell Oval while his 76 against Bankstown and 56 versus
Sydney University ensured good wins for his team which he has captained for the past three seasons. His 4-32 off 10 overs against
St George at Petersham Oval was another performance which brought home the points. The irony of Semple’s new milestones is
that those totals would be far greater if his performances in Twenty20 cricket were included as he has dominated in that format
over the years. Unfortunately for Adam, the Sydney Cricket Association does not recognise those figures in their official statistics.
350 Wickets
Nigil Singh keeps motoring along and took his RPC wickets-tally to 384 with another 42 this season. He passed 350 in the 5th
Grade clash against Penrith in 5th Grade at Rance Oval when he took an impressive 6-24 off 15.5 overs. He took five wickets or
more in an innings three times during the season. He has recorded that feat 18 times. Nigil commenced his Sydney Grade Cricket
career with Randwick in 1997-98 and by the time of the merger with Petersham-Marrickville in 2001, had taken 70 wickets. Adding
his record with both clubs, Nigil has a total of 454 which is an excellent career return for a medium-pace new ball bowler.
Rodney Stafford brought up his 350 RPC wickets in round 12 against Bankstown after commencing the summer with 332. In that
match he took an amazing 6-39 off 21 overs to take his side from what looked certain defeat to a fantastic victory. He had taken
another “six for” earlier when he returned 6-59 against North Sydney in round 4. In his final tally of 356 wickets, he has taken five
wickets or more in an innings 16 times. In four seasons with Randwick, the leg-spinner took 110 wickets giving him an outstanding
Grade record of 466 wickets. He also took 48 wickets in PG’s and A W Green Shield which gives him a club career total of 514. He
also has 2,668 RPC Grade runs and another 852 with Randwick to total 3,520 and put him in the category of Sydney Grade Cricket’s
greatest all-rounders. With 34 wickets next season he will bring up the magical 500 Grade wickets.
300 Wickets
Grant Rimmer joined the “300 Club” of Nigil Singh, Rod Stafford and Chris Singh when the medium-pacer took 3-35 against St
George in 5th Grade at Kensington Oval in round 6 on 13 December 2014. Starting the season with 285 his tally of 39 for the
summer gave him an RPC total of 324 wickets. Another two “five for’s” took the number of times he has taken five wickets or more
in an innings to 11. His best performance was 8-111 off 23 successive overs in 3rd Grade against Sydney University in 2010-11. He
also had the thrill of captaining the team this season leading them to a spot in the Qualifying Final. Grant first played for Randwick
in the club’s 1992-93 A W Green Shield team before playing for four seasons in 6th Grade. After that time he made his Grade debut
in 5th Grade in 1997-98 and during the period leading up to the merger with Petersham-Marrickville in 2001, had taken 90 Grade
wickets. With his RPC tally he has a Grade Cricket record of 414 wickets. He also has another 63 from his 6th Grade days and nine
in Green Shield which gives him an overall tally of 486 wickets at a time when he has announced his retirement. Well done Grant
Rimmer!
Randwick Petersham Museum Report
by John Stewart – Curator
The Randwick Petersham Cricket Museum obtained a couple of significant items throughout the season which each add to the
history of our club. A display was put in place to commemorate the international match between Cricket Ireland and the Randwick
Petersham XI. Also the museum received national coverage via Sydney Weekender on April 19. Cheers Whit!!
We are grateful to Robyn Lilienthal who again donated significant items from her late father Maurie’s career at Marrickville
including Premiership photographs from the 1930s and a certificate awarded to him in 1938-39 for winning the 2nd Grade batting
average (42.20). This certificate is significant as it bears the signature of the long-standing Marrickville secretary Bert Bicknell.
Many thanks also to Max and Alan Carter for their late father Jack’s Randwick DCC photographs and ephemera including a rare
photograph of Randwick legends – Stroy Donnan, Max Ward and Jack.
Over the years of collecting cricket memorabilia it amazes me that items relating to certain clubs or matches can be discovered in
the most unlikely of places. But this adds to the items story and provenance. Out of the blue, Mark Wilcox from New Zealand,
contacted David Holland after discovering a 1915-16 Petersham DCC members medal. Mr Wilcox was generous enough to bid on
the item and won it for the club. A small price was paid for this significant item as Petersham club items are few and far between.
With the Centenary of ANZAC celebrated this year could this have belonged to a club serviceman?
Finally, thanks to Irish players Gary Wilson and Peter
Chase for placing a couple of items in the museum to
accompany the impressive Waterford Crystal vase from
the New Balance Community Cricket Week match. Many
thanks also to Roy Torrens (CI Manager) and Richard
Holdsworth (CI Performance Director) for kindly
donating a signed World Cup shirt. Furthermore, one of
the street flags, kindly provided by Randwick Council
which flew on Arden St during the New Balance
Community Cricket Week is proudly displayed while the
commemorative plaque at the entrance to the museum
signifies the historic week and achievements of the
Randy Pete’s in 2014-15.
Diane Butler Tourism Ireland, Consul General Jane Connolly, Michael Whitney, Ambassador
Noel White, The Hon Matt Thistlethwaite, Roy Torrens and Joe Doherty unveiling the plaque.
Media Report
by John Stewart
Season 2014-15 provided Randwick Petersham many opportunities to increase their promotion at a local and national level.
Weekly match reports were published in the Southern Courier and Inner West Courier. Thank you to Torin Chen and his successor
James Taylor for providing us with excellent exposure throughout the community.
The historic Cricket Ireland week provided the Randy Pete’s with national and international exposure. We are appreciative of Daniel
Lane at the Sydney Morning Herald and The Daily Telegraph for articles in the lead-up to the week as well as a number of plugs on
radio. Cheers for sorting this, “Whit” and “Heaps” Hughes. Also via CricketEurope4 and Irish ‘keeper Gary Wilson the club received
a great testimonial in his First World Cup blog from Coogee.
Furthermore, our victory against Cricket Ireland provided many articles including BBC Sport, The Belfast Telegraph, ABC Sport, The
Australian, The Strabane Chronicle (north west Ireland), The Roar and CricketEurope4.net. Unfortunately though, some were not
complimentary to the Irish. But they certainly shook off this stumbling block in their second warm-up match and their historic first
up win over the Windies.
Again many thanks to David Bourke and John McLoughlin and their team of assistants for ensuring our social media was up-todate while it was a milestone year for Facebook, with the club passing 1000 ‘Likes’ during the middle of the season. It is hoped
that 2015-16 will continue our strong exposure in print and social media.
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 12th of out the 20 1st and 2nd Grade grounds, down from sixth it achieved in season 201314. A slightly disappointing result considering the ground has finished in the top 10 for the last few seasons, but nevertheless it is still
regarded as one of the premier grounds in Sydney.
Petersham Oval ranked a sensational sixth out of the 39 lower Grade grounds this season, improving on its ranked of 10th
last year. Petersham Oval also continued its advancement as a higher Grade ground, hosting three 1st Grade and three 2nd Grade
matches this summer and has become a bit of a 1st Grade fortress with the side being undefeated there in the last two seasons.
Of the lower Grade grounds, Kensington Oval was ranked 13th out of 39 improving from 25th last season, while Snape Park
was ranked 33rd, an unfortunate drop from 12th last season.
These impressive all-round results were achieved due to the great work and dedication of the Green Options staff at each
ground: Damian Roser, Daniel Seminara, Patrick Kearney and Patrick Renford at Coogee, Kensington and Snape, together with Ray
Clarence and Josh Dunning 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 Suburb Cricket Club (who used Snape Park and Kensington Oval as home grounds),
Sydney Cricket Club (who used Snape Park as a home ground), Sydney University Cricket Club (who used Snape Park and Kensington
Oval as home grounds), the South Eastern Junior Cricket Association, Champagnat Catholic College Pagewood, Marcellin College
Randwick, Sydney Boys High School, Fort Street High School, Royal Australian Navy, and Sydney Grammar School to name a few.
Also this season, Coogee Oval played host to the Cricket Ireland World Cup team as part of the New Balance Community
Cricket Week, the Cricket Club of India vs RPC Invitation XI fixture and to SCG XI fixtures (the SCG XI is the social playing arm of the
Sydney Cricket and Sports Grounds Trust), while both Coogee and Kensington ovals hosted the SCA Women’s Competition 1st Grade
T20 Finals Series.
The Snape Park nets were available for players both Tuesdays and Thursdays while Marrickville Oval was used for a number
of Metropolitan Cup fixtures 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 the cleaning of grounds 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.

A reflection on the cricket careers of some of those champions of the past who shaped Randwick Petersham into what
it is today.
Presented by Club Historian and Life Member Lyall Gardner OAM
Ken White
Ken White had the distinction of being one of just five members of Petersham-Marrickville DCC to
play in three 1st Grade premiership teams in the 50 years history of the club. Along with Clive
Johnston, Noel Hughes, Brian Hazell and Johnny Martin, Ken White played a major part in each of
the club’s wins in 1954-55, 1955-56 and 1961-62. One of the club’s most consistent and reliable
cricketers, he took 20 wickets or more with his right-arm quickish off-spinners in 13 of his 14 seasons
with Petersham / Petersham-Marrickville.
Sylvester Kenneth White was born at Marrickville on 19 March 1925. A product of North Newtown
Intermediate Boys High he was an inter-schools representative runner while also captaining the
school cricket team. His athletics success however, gave way to cricket and when he left school he
played in the local Western Suburbs junior competition. Like so many promising sportsman his
development was interrupted by international hostilities and he joined the R.A.A.F. shortly after his
18th birthday.
Following his discharge three years later, White returned to the junior association and won selection in the representative
Telegraph Shield side. Success in that competition highlighted by a hat-trick brought calls for a move to Sydney Grade cricket and
in 1948-49 the 23 year old lined up for Petersham. Selected in 2nd Grade he was promoted to 1st Grade after just three games
and celebrated with a first-ball wicket as part of a sensational debut performance of 6-58 against North Sydney. He went on to
take the bowling honours for the season with 35 wickets at 20.29 including three five wicket hauls with 6-38 his best.
The calibre of Ken’s bowling in his first season can be measured by the quality of the batting in the 1st Grade competition. In a
round against St George at Petersham his figures of 4-122 stood out in a drawn game where Saints’ 6-403 was almost matched by
Petersham’s 3-342 at the end of play. First class players Les Favell and Wally Yeates made two of the four centuries while Ken had
the distinction of dismissing Ray Lindwall first ball in taking the bowling honours.
Season 1951-52 saw Petersham merge with Marrickville. While not all players remained with the new Petersham-Marrickville
entity, Ken stayed on and remarkably continued in the same vein again taking out the bowling aggregate with 36 wickets at 22.50.
In a round against eventual premiers Randwick, White took 6-23 in their first innings of 92 and followed up with 4-35 in the second
to give him match figures of 10-58. His performance, along with the batting of state players Jack Moroney and Clive Johnston
helped the side finish runner-up in the competition while the club took out the coveted Club Championship. Topping the bowling
aggregate that season meant that Ken had taken it out four times in his four years in 1st Grade, a remarkable achievement
considering he had been virtually catapulted directly into the senior grade from junior cricket.
Following his 10 wickets against Randwick, Ken went on to achieve the magic 10 wickets in a match on two other occasions. In
1952-53 he took 6-30 and 4-49 to give him 10 for 79 against Mosman while three years later in 1955-56 he took 7-52 and 4-39
versus Western Suburbs for match figures of 11-91, the greatest performance in his outstanding cricket career. That same season
he took a hat-trick as part of a 6-64 performance against Sydney University.
When Petersham-Marrickville took out the 1st Grade premiership in 1954-55 and successfully defended it the following summer,
it was no surprise that Ken White was a leading wicket-taker on both occasions. His contribution was a major factor in the
achievement of the side. His dependability and consistency were second-to-none and his ability to bowl for long periods, tie
batsmen down and take wickets were attributes which confirmed his reputation as one of Petes’ greatest spin bowlers.
Over the following seasons White continued to be a force in Sydney 1st Grade Cricket achieving a number of personal milestones
along the way. In 1957-58 he recorded his career best single innings figures of 7-43 while playing North Sydney in 1959-60 he clean
bowled five batsmen in taking 6-55. Never one to bother the scorers a great deal with his batting, the left -handed tailender also
managed to hit his highest score in 1st Grade with an undefeated 36 in 1956-57.
Proving that spin bowlers get better with age, Ken added his third 1st Grade premiership to an imposing cricket career record
when Petersham-Marrickville took out the Sydney title defeating St George in the 1961-62 Final. He also had the thrill of capturing
the prized wicket of Australian Test opener Jim Burke as part of his 23 wickets that season. Such success however, brought with it
a fitting conclusion to a wonderful life in cricket and as the victory celebrations came to an end so did the cricket playi ng career of
Ken White. In his 14 seasons he took 93 1st Grade wickets for Petersham and 304 for Petersham-Marrickville for a total of 397 at
the magnificent average of 20.45. He took five wickets in an innings 23 times and 10 in a match on three occasions while
contributing 609 runs with the bat. He also won the club 1st Grade bowling aggregate eight times.
Ken was not lost to the club following his retirement as a player and he continued to serve on the management committee and
provide encouragement and expertise for a number of years to the many youngsters who came along to the Saturday morning
coaching classes. He also remained a vice-president of the club until the role was discontinued in 1998. Ken and his wife Hazel
relocated to Perth WA in 2004 where he is an active golfer and resides happily with his son Alan and the rest of his family. He is a
current member of the Randwick Petersham “Legends.”
Walter (Wally) Cole
1907-83
Wally Cole was one of Randwick’s greatest all-rounders scoring 7,645 runs and taking 539 wickets
in a career spanning 25 years from 1927 to 1952. A right hand batsman and right arm leg-spin
bowler, Wally played his first season, 1927-28, in the Randwick 3rd Grade team taking out the
batting aggregate with 308 runs at an average of 30.8. His top score of 64 not out earned him three
games in 2nd Grade where he scored 92 runs. He bowled little that season taking just 10 wickets
from limited opportunities.
In 1929-30 Cole missed his first century when he was out for 94 in 2nd Grade as part of a season
aggregate of 361. The following season he made his highly anticipated 1st Grade debut in a team
which went on to win the premiership under the captaincy of the legendary Dr Eric Barbour. While
young Wally only scored 180 runs and took just three wickets in his nine games it was his fielding
in the slips which raised the fielding standard of the team. He snapped up seven catches in the slips
which brought accolades from his team mates. By 1932-33 Cole had established himself as the best
“slipper” in the club when he held 20 catches for the season in the top two grades. Many regarded
he had no peer as a slips fielder in Sydney Grade cricket.
By 1937-38 Wally’s game had not developed to the extent expected and he was dropped to 3rd Grade. The following season he
hit 103 in 2nd Grade and he was back in 1s. To show his maiden century was no fluke he repeated the dose in 1st Grade in 193940 when he scored 109. That season was almost the “launch” of his 1st Grade career as he followed up in 1940-41 with 317 runs
and 31 wickets at 21.26.
The following four seasons were the “War Years” and Wally Cole was the standout performer in the Saturday afternoon “one day”
competition. In 1942-43 he established a new club record taking 92 wickets at an average of 10.98. He also hit 466 runs that season
and the following summer scored 509 as well as taking 55 wickets. Wally also contributed to the administration of the club during
this time serving on the management committee as well as being a club and 1st Grade selector.
Over the next few seasons Wally Cole continued to play to the same high standard but without producing the results of his earlier
summers. An exception was in 1944-45 when he took 7 for 35 against St George including a hat-trick. In his third over that day he
took four wickets for just two runs including wickets on the final two balls. Next over he took a wicket with the first ball to complete
the hat-trick going on to take 3-0 in the over. The St George champion and Test spin bowler Tiger O’Reilly took 14-65 in that match
to ensure Saints took the points.
Wally again showed his outstanding ability that 1944-45 season taking 7-26 and 6-65 for match figures of 13-91 against Balmain
at Coogee Oval. It was a match where champion Randwick stalwart Jack Chegwyn took six catches at silly point in an innings, many
of them off Wally Cole. By 1951-52 Cole was playing mainly 3rd Grade and retired at the end of the season.
Wally’s 539 wickets placed him eighth highest wicket-taker in Randwick’s history while his 7,645 runs was the seventh highest
aggregate in the club’s 101 years. In 1st Grade he scored 3,666 runs and took 320 wickets with his 7 for 20 in 1942 -43 his best
figures. He is ninth overall in Sydney Grade Cricket’s list of all-time highest 1st Grade wicket-takers in a season with 92 wickets at
19.98 in 1942-43. He also took an amazing 254 catches. Wally Cole died in 1983 aged 76.

The Legends 2014 - 15
The Randwick Petersham Cricket Legends Society
For the second time our membership passed the century mark with a total of 112 financial and honorary members during the course
of the year. We were saddened however, by the passing of four esteemed members in John O’Loughlin, Harry Lenertz, Gordon Stone
and Richie Benaud. John O’Loughlin (86) was a life member of Randwick Petersham having started with Randwick in 1943; Harry
Lenertz (93) joined Marrickville in 1937 and was a member of that club’s only 1st Grade premiership in 1943-44; Gordon Stone (100)
made 1st Grade with Randwick in his first season in 1933-34 before going on to play rugby union for Australia in 1938; Richie Benaud
captained Randwick 1st Grade in 1972-73 after retiring as one of Australia’s most successful Test captains. He was also “the voice of
cricket” and known around the world as the game’s most famous commentator.
On the brighter side we welcomed six new members in David Carroll, Lawrie Daly, Errol Sams, Steve Sullivan, Alan Vaughan and Peter
Wright. We also had Chris York and John Mison re-join and it was great to have them back. On the downside, Bob Barter, Peter Bayley,
David Downing, Greg Hartshorne, Royce McCormack, Paul Stepto and Bruce Young didn’t rejoin. We hope all you gentlemen will return
to the fold ASAP!! 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.
As an indication of what “The Legends” is all about, one need go no further than the financial rally of our members to assist fellowmember Paul Davison who suffered a debilitating accident when hit by an illegally ridden pushbike at Randwick early in 2014. Paul was
in hospital in a coma for many months during which time he had a number of brain operations. At a fund -raiser in August to provide
essential renovations to Paul’s home to assist him in his rehabilitation and day-to-day living, the Randwick Petersham Cricket Legends
Society was able to contribute an amount of $3,610 to the fund. A wonderful tribute to a fellow member. I am pleased to repor t that
Paul is home and making steady progress on the long road to 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 17 October 2014. Proceeds of $1,170.50 for the day were contributed to the Phil Tresidder Memorial Scholarship. It is
pleasing to report that the value of the Scholarship has climbed to $42,085 at the end of the cricket financial year on 30 April 2015. It
was also good to see 24 “Legends” of the 50 starters swinging a golf club and enjoying the company throughout the day.
In terms of the Society's finances, this year we made a tiny profit of $162.80. Expenditure involved a payment of $1,100 for framed
photos of the Randwick Petersham Twenty 20 Champions from last season; $248.40 to purchase on eBay a Cec Pepper blazer for the
RPC museum; and the following donations: $500 to the Paul Davison fund-raiser; $100 to Prince of Wales Hospital in memory of Tristan
Heaton the 17 years old son of member Fabian Heaton; $150 to the Hawkesbury Canoe Classic in memory of deceased member Barry
Davison; $100 to the Melanoma Institute in memory of the late Randwick cricketer Greg Doyle. Our total expenditure was $2,222.30
while our income was $2,385.10 comprising interest of $335.10 and annual membership subscriptions of $2,050. 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 2014
A Randwick Petersham Cricket Legends event
Despite 150 mls of rain (six inches in the old money) on the Tuesday night before the event and with the course looking more akin
to sailing than golf on the Wednesday, this year’s event got away as scheduled. It was like some sort of miracle that the co urse
was turned out in the way it was after taking such a battering from the biggest storm to hit Sydney in more than 10 years. And
we even had the use of carts!
The weather took a little toll on our numbers yet
we still had 50 competitive souls striving to win
the Phil Tresidder Memorial Cup, many for the
first time, at Beverley Park Golf Course on Friday
17 October 2014. And while Peter Harrison
(handicap 26) and Drew Cremin (2) were
winners in 2008-09, their partners Matthew
Hilder (15) and Dean White (16) got to have
their names engraved on the coveted trophy for
the first time as they took out first prize.
A cloudy morning followed by a bit of drizzle during the front nine didn’t put much of a dampener on the quality of play with
many good scores being recorded. Only two of the 13 groups were over par off the stick while 10 were in red figures. And of
course history has shown that a team has to hit a good score to win this event and this year’s grouping came home 10 under par
for a net 52.625 or a mere 17. 375 UNDER PAR!! They were four under after four holes and away to a flyer. Not quite as good as
last year’s net 19.875 under but it was certainly up there. The nephew of the great Phil Tresidder, Michael Tresidder was again
on hand to present the trophy and we are extremely grateful for his continued interest.
Second place went to Brandon McCarthy (20), Gary Morris (18), Glen Lisle (15) and Bob Bissett (18) with a net 53.125, beaten
half a shot. Brandon and Bob were in the runners-up group last years and are fast becoming perennial bridesmaids! Third place
with a net 54.00 went to the “superstar” group of Brett Hunter (12), local pro Greg Green (Scr) and Rob Jackson (6) who had a
combined handicap of only three. Not a bad effort as they were one man down.
It was great to have Matty Wallis and his group of Judd O’Shea, Phil Budden and John Taylor with us this year. All first starters in
the event and while they took out the “Bradman” award for the largest score (net 62.250) we hope they will return next season,
not to defend their trophy of course, but to continue to be part of the enjoyable day it has become.
Closest to the Pin prizes went to Allan Gear (3rd hole), Rod Aggett (10th) and Col Booth (13th) while the 17th hole Long Drive
was won by Peter Rolls with a drive he just nominated on the card as “longer”.
Sponsors help make the day possible and we were delighted that Sydney City Toyota not only donated four top grade Callaway
golf bags but they were also present in numbers with a team of Stewart Scoon, Peter Toman, Jason Benjamin and Steve Clark.
Our thanks also to Mark Sundin of Expedition Kayaks who has donated a worthwhile prize every year the event has been staged,
James Wynn of JWI Advisory Group and Brad Timbrell of Campari who were first time sponsors along with Michael Chan of
Kooindah Waters while David Kelly of West Tigers has become a regular donor over the years. Many thanks also 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 Randwi ck
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 12 years, the Phil Tresidder Memorial Scholarship began operation three seasons ago. Nick
Charlwood, Shaun Eaton, Brandon McLean and Anthony Sams have been recipients of a scholarship to date.
This year we have granted a scholarship to 17 years old 2nd Grade leg-spinning all-rounder Jack Preddey who has ventured to
London to link up with the Chingford club in the Essex League. We feel sure Phil Tresidder would be very excited about the future
of this young lad as he had a soft spot for his father Mark’s ability when he bowled his leg-breaks for Randwick in the 1980s.
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 $252,000. 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 12 years life of the Foundation, the trustees have exercised their discretion in the distribution of income on a number
of occasions and have paid a total of $132,445.45 to Randwick Petersham Cricket. This figure includes $4,000 this financial year
which is a little less than in recent times due to the drop in interest rates and ac cordingly, 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 Crick et.
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 friends of Randwick Petersham Cricket.
It’s a toss-up!
Winning the toss can be an important step in ending up the victors in a cricket match. But then again, sometimes you just couldn’t
give a toss! We had the extremes in coin tossing this season with 1st Grade captain Adam Semple and 4th Grade skipper David
Bourke at opposite ends of the spectrum.
In 4th Grade, skipper David Bourke won 12 successive tosses! Of the 15 matches, only three tosses were lost although the side
won just four games. David claims he did not use a two-headed coin when he got to toss but just hoped his opponent chose
incorrectly! When he is calling, David says he “just looks at the bloke tossing and sense what he’s going to toss.” The only theory
he has is that he backs himself to win. Not much there to help two-up punters.
On the other hand, Adam Semple had an exasperating run with the coin but ended up a match-winner most times. Combining the
Belvidere Cup and Twenty 20 Cup competitions he lost 16 of 21 tosses yet only lost five of the 21 matches. His team was sent in
to bat four times yet won three Belvidere Cup matches with the only loss coming in the preliminary final of the Twenty20 Cup
against eventual winners St George at the Sydney Cricket Ground.
In other grades, 2nd Grade also didn’t have too much success with the toss winning just six out of 15. Fifth Grade however, won
10 out of 16 and 3rd Grade won nine of their 15 tosses with all six wins coming when the toss was won.
Junior Development
by David Townsend, Junior Development Manager
The Randwick Petersham Cricket Club was again active in the area of Junior Development this year, with the aim of the
program being to link in with junior cricketers at school and club level within the geographical areas of the club, encompassing
the South East and Inner West.
The focus of the Junior Development Program involves tailoring a series of coaching sessions 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 focused on a basic net session, specialist batting or bowling
sessions, ideas on how to run a centre wicket practice or concentrated fielding sessions. A four-week program was offered with
additional visits added as required. The sessions were provided for FREE as a part of the Randwick Petersham philosophy of
assisting 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, particularly
focusing on building on the relationships that we had developed with children from the previous season, with a view towards
taking their skills to the next stage.
Junior clubs that Randwick Petersham worked with during the 2014-15 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
1st Grade batsman Nick Stapleton did an excellent job when working with players at school level, including becoming a regular
visitor to Newington College in Stanmore. Nick was also a regular coach for the Cricket NSW Indoor Centre at the Sydney Cricket
Ground.
Club Assistant coach David Skuthorpe also worked with several schools in addition to being our main point of contact at
junior club level. David did an excellent job in helping co-ordinate net sessions with the junior clubs and worked closely with the
coaches in mastering the coaching of specialist skills. Feedback on both was excellent.
We encourage all local clubs and schools to take advantage of this offer of free coaching sessions next year. We would
love to assist with setting up a cricket program or assisting directly with teams. Anyone interested should contact Bill Anderson
at: bill.andersom@det.nsw.edu.au.
Coaching
By Peter Devlin, Cricket Operations
The 2014-15 season coaching format followed the previous season’s success. Andrew Millican, Simon Cook and Peter
Devlin looked after 1st and 2nd grades, David Skuthorpe and Darren Smith coached 3rd and 4th grades with Denis Hinds and Alan
Wright working with 5th Grade and the Metro Cup teams. Daniel Sams continued with his pre-season fitness programs.
Anthony Sams once again looked after the wicket-keepers, putting them through weekly sessions. Nick Warren, when
available, helped out with some of the fast bowlers. It is hoped he will be around a lot more next season.
Eddie Otto and Rob Huxley successfully continued The Academy program. This year’s Academy saw guest appearances
from Michael Whitney, Simon Katich, Trent Copeland, Anthony Clark, Daniel Rixon and Gavin Twinning over seven sessions
conducted at the Sydney Cricket Ground indoor facilities.
Eddie Otto continued his outstanding work with the AW Green Shield team with some impressive victories including a
defeat of the ultimate premiers Bankstown in round 1. He also joined with Rob Huxley coaching the Poidevin Gray team. Much
was expected of this talented team but they were hot and cold during the season bowing out in the Quarter Finals to ND’s.
Many thanks to all the Club Coaches and players who attended the South Eastern Junior Cricket Association, junior clubs
and school coaching programs, for your contribution to the continued development of our young players.
This season 1st Grade again led the way with a strong commitment to training and this young side captained by Adam
Semple is on the verge of further success. Unfortunately, this was not the case in other grades with poor attendance at training
while players missing matches for flimsy reasons is an issue which will be addressed by the club prior to the 2015-16 season.
A special mention to Grant Rimmer who took over the 5th Grade side a third of the way into the season. Grant did an
outstanding job along with Nigil Singh to get this team to the semi-finals. It’s hoped that Grant reconsiders hanging up his boots
and continues next year.
Many thanks to Bill Anderson and Alan Wright and the many volunteers who give their valuable time to the club which
ensures our Club Cricket Operations area runs smoothly and successfully. Well done. The club is indebted to you all.
Trust, Respect and Humility are the ideals that drives this club. In addition to those words I ask all players to think about
the following--in order-- for next season: CLUB—TEAM—ME. Applying these principles creates club culture, success and
enjoyment of the game we all love!!
A Test of Fond Memories
It was strange to experience such a hush over a crowded Randwick Rugby Club bar as the final day
of the Boxing Day Test in 1987 reached its conclusion. But it wasn’t an ordinary finish to a cricket
match. Local hero Mike Whitney was involved. As a batsman. He was facing the champion New
Zealand fast bowler Richard Hadlee who, for the eighth time, had taken 10 wickets in the match and
was looking to add Whit to his 373 Test scalps and so break Ian Botham’s record. All eyes were glued
on the TV screen.
Australia had led by 40 on the first innings but were 9-227 needing 247 to win when Mike strode to
the wicket to join Craig McDermott. He was returning to the side after a six year absence and had
done well in the match taking four wickets. But this was the moment of truth. Could he and
McDermott get the runs? Could they hold out for a draw? Or was it going to be an historic New
Zealand victory? Those of us at the Rugby Club on that occasion were on the edge of our seats.
It was now the final over. No chance of Australia winning and Mike on strike facing Hadlee with a near-new ball in his hand. It
looked curtains. He blocked the first but played and missed the next two. He dug out a fourth-ball middle stump Yorker as the
whole of the 10 fielders gathered around the bat. The hush in the Rugby Club gradually changed to tones of excitement as he
played the fifth. Now it was the last ball. Hadlee moved in. Let it rip—straight at middle stump to be greeted by the widest of bats!
He did it! Facing 18 balls in 23 minutes Mike Whitney held out the great Richard Hadlee to draw a Boxing Day Test and give Allan
Border his first series win as captain of Australia. The Rugby Club erupted. The beer flowed. Mike Whitney was the toast of
Australia let alone the Randwick Rugby Club! And Hadlee was the first to congratulate our batting hero with an arm around his
shoulder as they walked off.
At the post-match presentation the New Zealand wicket-keeper Ian Smith gave the match ball to Mike saying that he had earned
it with his defiant stand. It remained one of Mike Whitney’s proudest possessions from a wonderful Test career. But on Friday 27
March 2015 at a sports dinner in Melbourne, after having the ball for a little over 27 years, Mike presented it to Hadlee (now Sir
Richard) who had mentioned to him that it was the only one missing from his collection of cricket balls from each of his 36 Test
five-wicket hauls. It is moments like that between true sportsmen which ensure that cricket matches such as the drawn Boxing
Day Test of 1987 are still talked about today.
Marrickville Cricket Club
by President Antony Sachs
Success requires leadership and teamwork – on and off the field
It gives me pleasure to report on a successful season for Marrickville Cricket
Club. Almost 450 players enjoyed cricket at MCC in 2014-15, with 137 in Milo
cricket, 149 in T20 Blast, and 18 teams from u9s to 16s and 5th division (seniors) in
the Canterbury & Western Suburbs and Little Breakers League competitions. Again
we were fortunate to have sponsorship from Sydney Airport and Canterbury
Hurlstone Park RSL, and I thank both for their support.
The growth of Milo Cricket for 5-8-year-olds owes a lot to the hard work of
Club legend David Mason and Carla Stacey, with help from Wests District Cricket
Club. T20 Blast at Mackey Park was also a great success and we had more than
double the number of kids as the next-biggest T20 Blast Centre in NSW, so we must be doing something right. And how good
was it to have Mike Hussey for one session! T20 Blast at Petersham Oval in Nov/Dec 2014 was also a great success, with over 60
girls enjoying fast, fun social cricket at a great venue. I was thrilled that MCC’s four under 9 teams named themselves after the
Marrickville legends Bob Simpson, Sid Barnes, Ernie Toshak and Ron Saggers.
Congratulations to our two premiership winners – u12 Blues in Div. 1 and u12 Bats in Div. 2. Well done to our u14 Blue,
u12 Red and u16 Blues who got to the semis.
Special thanks to David Skuthorpe (pictured) from Randwick Petersham Cricket for help with two under12 teams this
season. The seeds have been sown for a strong relationship between our two clubs.
Marrickville provided many Rep cricketers to CWSCA. Special commendation for three MCC players chosen as
Emerging Blues – Nivethan Radhakrishnan, Harry Brooks and Seamus Meaker (Under 13 Academy squad).
MCC fielded a team in the Breakers Junior Cricket League, an u15 all-girls comp. Thanks to Coach Jarrod Cable for
bringing the team together.
Special mention to Ptolemy Sofianidis, who got most runs and the highest batting average in under 16s; Sanjay
Anandarajah who topped the batting average in 12s; and Jude Price who got the most wickets in under 12s. Well done boys!
Our seniors fifth grade team made the semi-finals, after finishing second at the end of the regular season. Many thanks
to Ethan Duff-Coleman who captained/managed the seniors as well as helping to coach Under 10 White.
Of course not all teams can win or make finals. The key is that Club members enjoy playing cricket in a safe, happy and
inclusive environment. Sincere thanks to our Committee for their work with the Club. And a big thank you to all volunteers. We
hope to see all players, parents and friends back for 2015-16.
by Eddie Otto Academy Head Coach
The Under 21s Academy was a seven week program in June and July which had the purpose of improving our young cricketer’s
games and preparing them for the season ahead. Plenty of planning went into this year’s Academy to make it the most inclusive
and comprehensive one to date. This culminated in over 35 players attending the SCG Indoor centre and getting to work with
the club’s coaches as well as a fantastic array of specialist coaches.
All the players were asked to assess their own previous seasons and set some targets for the summer ahead. They were asked
to work with the coaches on some of their goals whether they be technical, mental or skills based. We were able to structure a
program which had specific aims on different nights depending on which specialist coaches were engaged.
The highlight of the Academy was an hour long
batting master-class held by club and Australian
legend Simon Katich (pictured) in the SCG
theatre. Simon talked at length about mental
toughness, preparation, batting strategy and
technique. He went into depth about preparing
to face short ball bowling, trusting and knowing
your own game and having different plans for
the different match conditions that players face.
Simon was one of the most determined and
respected players in the country for a number of
years and to have him talk in such detail about
batting was a huge thrill for all the boys.
We were also able to draw upon the experience
of Trent Copeland to work with our young fast bowlers. Trent attended two sessions and as well as talking about bowling
strategy in the theatre, he did plenty of practical work in the nets working on technique and swing with the boys. Trent talked
about his rise from a 3rd Grade wicket keeper to an Australian cap and one of NSW’s most consistent fast bowlers.
Highly respected 1st Grade cricketers past and present, completed our specialist coaches. Anthony Clark attended two sessions
of work with our spinners while Dan Rixon did plenty of interesting and beneficial drills with our wicket-keepers. Gavan Twining
worked tirelessly with our higher grade batsman for three sessions giving them a great base upon which to build their season.
A real benefit of the Academy was the chance for our Green Shield boys and lower grade players to train with many of our 1st
and 2nd Grade cricketers. This gave our younger players plenty of new found confidence which showed in their results as the
season progressed. It also most importantly started to build a culture where players from all grades would be looking out for
each other and following each other’s progress throughout the season. It was also a great opportunity to integrate some new
players to the club before pre-season Grade training. Off-season recruits Tom Jagot, Will McGrane and Sam Doggett impressed
whilst Newcastle youngster Jason Sangha attended every session before returning to Wallsend in Newcastle to play 1 st Grade.
The Academy’s biggest initial benefit however, was the link and culture it developed between the Green Shield and PG’s squads.
We went on to have joint training sessions, a buddy system between the two teams and shared social occasions. This
culminated in both sides attending their mates home game for a full day with the PG boys supporting Green Shielders against
Manly at Petersham Oval and the Green Shield boys attended the final round PG match against St. George at Coogee Oval. This
approach was reflected in the Green Shield team’s season winning four games from seven in a rebuilding year. The PG team
also performed creditably making the quarter finals only to exit by being the lower ranked team in a tied game.
While the Academy was a success this season, we want to make it bigger and better in the years to come. As a coaching group
we need to ensure more follow up with our players throughout the season to really maximise results. Crucially the culture we’re
trying to build needs to be maintained and driven into the players and coaches as a bench mark to improve upon each year.
Finally, a big thank-you to fellow Academy Head Coach Rob Huxley for his tireless efforts in driving the program. Also a big thank
you to Peter Devlin and Alan Wright for their efforts as assistant coaches and all our specialist coaches which made the program
such a success. Lastly, a big thank-you to the players who really bought into the program. Several of the boys really drove the
program with their attitude and hard work. Looking forward to doing it all again in 2015-16!

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 APRIL 2015
NOTE 1 -STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The financial statements are general purpose financial statements that have been prepared in
accordance with Australian Accounting Standards (including Australian Accounting Interpretations)
and the Corporations Act 2001.
Australian Accounting Standards set out accounting policies that the AASB has concluded would
result in financial statements containing relevant and reliable information about transactions,
events and conditions. Material accounting policies adopted in the preparation of this financial
report are presented below and have been consistently applied unless otherwise stated.
The financial statements have been prepared on an accruals basis and are based on historic costs
unless otherwise stated in the notes. The accounting policies that have been adopted in the
preparation of this financial report are as follows:
Income Tax
No provision for income tax has been raised as the Club is exempted under Division 50 of the
Income Tax Assessment Act 1997.
Inventories
Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value.
Goods and Services Tax (GST)
Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST, except where the amount
of GST incurred is not recoverable from the Tax Office. In these circumstances the GST is recognised
as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of an item of the expense. Receivables and
Payables in the balance sheet are shown inclusive of GST.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term
highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts.
Comparative Figures
When required by Accounting Standards comparative figures have been adjusted to conform to
changes in presentation for the current financial year.
Report from the Financial Controller
2014-15 was a challenging season for the club financially. We have continued to work hard on accruing
contingency funds but were limited by some reductions in sponsorship and function income. Again due to low
interest rates we also received a very limited distribution from the Foundation.
We did celebrate some financial successes this season. The Community Cricket Week was successful not only in
its execution but also financially, and this event made an important contribution towards this year’s result. We
were also able to negotiate terms on our maintenance contracts for our grounds within Randwick Council LGA,
which brought forward payments to assist with cash flow during the middle of the season.
We had some misfortune with weather on training days during the season, which resulted in our indoor net hire
costs nearly doubling. We will be investigating ways to limit this expense for the coming season. We also spent a
significant sum on accommodation for an overseas player and we are looking to curtail this expense next year as
well. Overall, we are managing costs tightly in order to contribute even further to the coaching and player
development in the club next season. Committing further funding to develop the capability of our players will
hopefully improve the club’s performances which will lead to a stronger club overall.
In reporting our third straight year of surplus, the committee is pleased with the club’s financial progress and
thanks the extended volunteer base for their ongoing support of the club’s activities.
