Again this season I had the support of a terrific group of volunteers on your Junior committee. Many thanks to my fellow Junior Committee members;
Rob Hanich (Deputy Director and Secretary) organized our meetings (often held in his living room), kept the minutes and in his spare time coordinated our U14 teams, coached the U14 Blue team and led a team to Tamworth in January.
Peter Lees (Treasurer) managed our finances to ensure we spent less than we earned.
Alicia Evans (Registrar) was a great new addition to our junior committee and took on the task of recording and managing all our registrations. Alicia also coordinated around 500 trophies for our presentation day!
Craig Hutchinson coordinated equipment and also coordinated our U12 age group, including coaching U12 White.
Paul Vink helped us out coordinating all the team photos.
Martin Gilogly joined our junior committee and coordinated our specialist coaching clinics with Daniel Anderson and his team of coaches
Sreeni Pillamarri took on the task of clothing coordinator.
Our age coordinators commit considerable time not only throughout the playing season but in the lead up to the season. They are;
Under 8s – Ratna Siva
Under 9s – Lyndal Harrison Under 10s – Steve Burroughs Under 11s – Joseph Cooray Under 12s – Craig Hutchinson Under 13s – Duminda Thenuwara Under 14s – Rob Hanich
Under 15s – Andrew Morris Under 16s – Simon Reynolds
Thanks to our local schools who once again made their facilities available to our club for pre-season promotional clinics, training facilities and grounds for games and in Oakhill Drive Public School’s case provided their facilities for our registration day, team photos, Pink Stumps Day and our presentation day. Thanks also to the West Pennant Hills Sports Club, the Brasserie at WPH Sports Club, Sportspro and Kingsgrove Sports for their continued support of our club.
Finally, I would like to thank our club’s executive committee, particularly Chairperson Barry McDonald, our club President Andrew Miedler and our club’s Director of Operations Ross Anderson for all of their support and counsel throughout the season.
I have had a sneak preview of a book that Ross has been putting together, which covers our club’s history from 1930-31 until today - in remarkable detail. This is being finalised and will be made available in chapters from our club website. It is certainly something to watch out for – and shows what an amazing cricket club we all belong to.
