Nicholas Sparks – Great all round contributor sharing wicket keeping duties, master blaster role in batting and handy with his bowling too. Highlight was his 23 runs and 2-12 vs Kissing Point.
John Kurian – Had his best and most consistent year for bowling, resulting in equal leading wicket taker. Best bowling 4-4 vs Castle Hill RSL.
Andrew Cooper – Played in limited games this season but gave opening batsman options to the team when available with best score of 19 vs WPHC White. Looking forward to Andrew coming back full time next season.
Stephin Robinson – Unfortunately left the Blues at the end of December but contributed to the team before that with best score of 20 vs Berowra Maroon.
I would like to thank fellow co coach (Jason Goddard) for his tireless efforts at training sessions and Jane Bish for being the world’s best team manager! In addition, thank you to all the parents who assisted in umpiring, scoring, boundary marking and making sure the boys came on time to training and the games. In addition, the parents continue to make game days such an enjoyable and warm atmosphere.
Lastly, thank you to all the boys this season. Your team first attitude and the way you carry yourselves on and off the field with your own team mates, opposition, umpires and parents is a credit to you all.
Well done and look forward to next season.
Roger Kurian Co Coach Under 14 Gold
The U14 Gold team had a slow start to the season, struggling to field a full team with injury, and a bunch of individuals that had yet to gel as a team. After 5 rounds we were sitting on 1 win against the bottom team Berowra and rain washed away any hope of an outright win. In amongst those losses there were still some worthy performances and the team kept on working hard on their game and their passion never wavered. A win against Normanhurst was a big confidence for the team and they never looked back from there with strong performances to follow.
The final round game had us matched up against the Blue team. A win from either team would book themselves a top 4 spot and a finals berth. The Gold team was to prevail in a great spirited contest.
Gold vs Blue Final Round at Northolm
With Momentum on our side they went into the Semi against White with confidence and a strong all-round performance secured them a great win against the minor premiers.
A Premiership was within our grasp but it was not to be with Kenthurst the stronger team on the day going back- to-back.
Congratulations on the boys for their great season.
Thanks to all the team Coaches, Managers, Umpires, Scorers and weekend support staff on behalf of WPHCCC. Andrew Morris - Manager and U14 Co-ordinator
