I have been very fortunate to have had the support of a terrific group of volunteers on your Junior committee. Many thanks to my fellow Junior Committee members;
James Trainor (Deputy Director) looked after our Under 15s including coaching U15 Green, and was instrumental in arranging all our trophies for the end of season.
Rob Hanich (Secretary) organized our meetings, kept the minutes and in his spare time coordinated our U13 teams and coaches the U13 White team.
Peter Lees (Treasurer) managed our finances.
Rakesh Kaul (Registrar and Trophies) took on the unenviable task of recording and managing all our registrations, and later in the season our trophies.
Brendan Flynn once again coordinated our coaching sessions, managed equipment and clothing, led a team to Armidale and coached our U15 Gold team.
Paul Vink helped us out coordinating all the team photos, and brought his considerable experience as President of Westbrook AFL club to our junior committee.
Our age coordinators commit considerable time not only throughout the playing season but in the lead up to the season. They are;
Under 8s – Steve Burroughs
Under 9s – Joseph Cooray
Under 10s – Craig Hutchinson Under 11s – Lara and Shaun Jackson Under 12s – Andrew Morris
Under 13s – Rob Hanich Under 14s – Simon Reynolds Under 15s – James Trainor Under 16s – Andrew Rickard
I would like to thank our club 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.
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 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.
The break from cricket is never a long one. As I write this we are planning our AGM and 2015-16 season launch.
Finally I leave you with this photo of a sign taken at a Junior AFL game. While it is targeted to Junior AFL, the message is equally relevant to junior cricket.
