SECRETARY'S REPORT
The 1998 / 99 season was one of consolidation and advancement in terms of administration.
We were not plagued with pitch vandalisation and administrative type disputes, which was a problem in the past. Unfortunately, the number of reported breaches of the Code of Conduct greatly increased and these were professionally handled by our external judiciary. We will further refine the judiciary process in the off season to ensure a smoother system.
The lack of pitches still presents us with ongoing problems of providing grounds up to an acceptable standard. The Board is looking at new wickets for next season as the Olympic Games will cause us problems in the Moore Park area. It is hoped that the three turf wickets used last season will still be available to us for next season.
The success of our Martin Shield team deserves mention in reaching the semi finals and narrowly missing out on the final. This is all the more meritorious given the comparatively small size of our Association compared to most of our opposition. The Telegraph Shield team performed creditably in the face of strong opposition. It is hoped to enter a Martin Shield side again next season.
There has been a lot of administrative work performed in the off season. There are a few matters worth mentioning.
Computerisation Cricket in NSW, including the affiliated Associations, are likely to be computerised with internet facilities, possibly before the start of the 1999 / 2000 season. This web en.ablement -will contain information like draws, results, registrations, news, playing rules etc.
- . Moore Park Parking We are in discussions with South Sydney Council for parking in the Robertson Rd area. Parking restrictions could make playing in that area difficult if parking is not available.
I would like to take this opportunity to express my thanks to the Board for its assistance during the season. I would particularly like to thank John Chalmers for his administrative assistance with player registrations and ground allocations and Greg Stewart for his assistance with the Telegraph Shield team.
There are bold plans for next season in a number of areas that will be revealed in due course. I look forward to the new season to build on the achievements of the past season.
JOHN WALDEN
PRESIDENT'S REPORT
Ladies and Gentleman
Season 1998/99 saw the Association maintain its strength in numerical numbers - 48 teams. For the first time the Association saw fit to combine Grades 1 and 2 into a single competition in order to not only provide strength in numbers, but to give players exposure in 2nd Grade to 1st Grade status. Overall there were seven Grades.
Whilst maintaining our numerical strength on the previous season we did lose one or two clubs and gained Brondesbury Cricket Club, The Bears, Matthew Talbot and Croydon Park - a warm welcome to all of these new clubs and we look forward to them being with us for many seasons to come.
The competition itself provided many ups and downs on the points table. I take this opportunity of congratulating all the Premiership winning teams along with those individuals who made outstanding contributions with either the bat or ball during the season. In particular I congratulate on behalf of the Association Andrew Jones of Kingsford Apache for his marvellous achievement of 1,115 runs for season 1998/99. Indeed this is the first time in may association with park cricket (Moore Park Cricket Association) and I believe since 1965 that this has been achieved - congratulations Andrew.
The Association this year fielded representative teams in both Martin and Telegraph Shields. Both sides showed promise with Martin Shield making the semi-finals under the leadership of Jason Tattershall of The Coast Cricket Club. My thanks to the organisers - Gary and Maree Fufford (Martin Shield), Greg Stewart and John Walden (Telegraph Shield). My thanks also to umpire Bill Glacken.
It is with regret that I also report the passing of three of our members - A. T (Tom) Ray (Life Member), Silvio Munzone (Botany United) and Jack Fox (Life Member and formerly Lakes and Ramblers Cricket Clubs). Tom passed away peacefully on 6 July 1999, Silvio passed away suddenly on Moore Park playing the game he loved, whilst Jack was at home. On behalf of all in our Association my deepest sympathy to family and friends of these gentlemen.
I would like to take this opportunity of thanking all of those who have made the season 1998/99 successful - Botany and Randwick Councils, Centennial and Moore Park Trust and Board Members, in particular I pay tribute to Secretary John Walden and his assistant John Chalmers and Maree Fulford and her "assistant" Gary F -ulford for the countless hours they contribute behind the scenes - thank you one and all.
I would also like to thank Peter Daffen and his Shires Committee for making available turf wickets at both Alexandria and Sydney Parks - now known as Alan Davidson Oval.
I look forward to season 1999/2000 and as I write this report I only see one thing happening to our Association and that is growth - we are going forward with better grounds and therefore a better competition.
Wishing everyone the very best, see you on the Park in 1999/2000.
PAUL BRIEN PRESIDENT
OBITUARIES
A.T. (TOM) RAY
The Association was saddened to hear the loss of one of its stalwarts A.T. (Tom) Ray. Tom passed away peacefully on Tuesday 6 July 1999, aged 81 years.
Tom had a long association with cricket. He was a player, umpire, official and above all a gentleman. Tom's association to his beloved game goes back over 50 years with his main contribution being umpiring. A fair man he was known by all for his explanations - for once "A.T" said you're out - you were out.
Tom was associated not only with Moore Park South East, where he was a life member, but also the Catholic Cricket Association and Moore Park Cricket Association where he was also a life member, board member and trustee. He gave over 40 years service as an umpire and during that time was President of the Umpires Association. In latter years he teamed up with the Coogee Cricket Club at Moore Park and even though his "old tin legs" as he used to call them couldn't stand up to a full day as umpire, he spent many a Saturday afternoon with his Coogee team on the bench, cheering them on.
Tom served on the Executive of the Moore Park Cricket Association and assisted with his experience in the formation of the new Moore Park and South East Cricket Association where he was a Board Member.
Moore Park and South East Cricket Association has lost a true soldier - a man who stood by what he said - a man who did not mix words - you knew where you stood with A.T (Tom) Ray. Tom will always be NOT OUT in many a Park cricketers' memory.
The Associations deepest sympathy and condolences go out to his family and many friends - he'll be missed by all.
SIINIO MUNZONE
Silvio started his cricket career in the Moore Park Cricket Association before moving to the St George Cricket Association where he played with the Arnclfffe Scots Cricket Club until the age of 40. In his younger days Silvio was an aggressive batsman who occasionally bowled spin.
In 1994 at the age of 45 Silvio was enticed back into the game after watching his son Darren play for Botany United. The next season he took over the captaincy of Botany's 5th grade team and remained as captain for the following four seasons. Silvio developed into an astute captain and prolific wicket taker averaging 35 wickets per season.
Silvio was an extremely popular and respected figure within the Moore Park & South East Cricket Association and will be sadly missed. Silvio died on the cricket field, playing the game he loved. He was 50 years old.
TACK FOX
Jack first became involved in cricket in the 1951/52 season through the formation of the Ramblers Cricket Club. He became President of this club in 1954 succeeding the original President, Mr "Pop" Muir. It should be noted one Mr Joe Hamilton was the SSCA official who welcomed the new Ramblers Club to the Association and processed the initial registration papers. From day one Jack and Joe became good friends.
Mr Fox was a left handed opening batsman, a dour player with his principal scoring shot being a round leg with either a glance or a hook. Jack described himself as being an occasional slow bowler more than a genuine spinner. Jack was mainly a C grade player during his long career, but gave a number of dependable performances for the Ramblers B grade teams when required to do so.
When Ramblers Cricket Club could not muster sufficient players for a team an amalgamation took place with the Lakes Cricket Club in 1974. Thus Jack was a true life member of the Ramblers Club and a long term member of the Lakes Ramblers Club.
His greatest contribution to cricket in the South Sydney District has been the encouragement and assistance he has provided to young people who wish to play the game. During his time in cricket Jack was a long term member of either Cawsey, Moore or Watson Shield teams. Included in these duties were the regular bus trips to Newcastle, Central Coast, Camden and Bankstown. Jack also umpired junior cricket matches from 1959 to 1985, both local and representative fixtures.
GENERAL REPORTS
FIRST TO SEVENTH GRADE
FIRST GRADE REPORT
Season 1998/99 was played under a new competition format with first and second grade teams playing one another during the normal rounds before splitting up and playing off in their respective semi-finals. The concept was experimental and the participating teams made it a success. Each grade consisted of five teams playing each other once and then playing teams in their own grade during the second round.
The first grade premiers once again were Souths Juniors winning their fourth successive premiership making them the only team to achieve this feat in the short history of the Moore Park and South East Cricket Association. Souths played consistently during the season only losing two games on their way to the premiership.
Souths Juniors
Souths Juniors are an all round team which don't rely on one or two players to make runs and to take wickets. The premiers have a host of quality players at their disposal in the batting and bowling departments. Eli Kapodistrias and captain Stan Stamatellis were the stand out performers in a very good team.
Statistics : Eli Kapodistrias 350 runs and 19 wickets, Stan Starnatellis 262 runs and 14 wickets, Jason Coleman 220 runs and 17 wickets and Glen Standing 19 wickets.
Botany United
Botany were once again runners up to Souths, but can take some heart out of the fact that they are getting closer to beating Souths, losing the final by just 17 runs. Individually it was a good season for the Botany players with Glen McCanna taking out the Association's first grade batting awards and Ipo Giitsidis taking out the Association's first grade bowling average award.
Statistics : Glen McCanna 556 runs, Theo Maniatakos 343 runs, Glen Bosco 332, Joey Pantano 32.2 runs, Andrew Frawley 36 wickets and Ipo Giitsidis 281 runs and 28 wickets.
Marrickville-Pagewood
Back in first grade after a couple years playing second grade Marrickville-Pagewood showed what a strong and consistent team they can be finishing third in first grade before going down in the semi-final to Botany. Fast bowler John Sap ounakis was in great form throughout the season taking out the Association's first grade bowling aggregate award with 39 wickets.
Statistics : S. Jessup 465 runs, C. Hulbert 327 runs, John Sapounakis 39 wickets and G. Davis 24 wickets.
Brondesbury
In their first year in the Moore Park and South East Cricket Association, Brondesbury acquitted themselves very well with some good performances throughout the season. Early in the season Brondesbury struggled for players and could not field their strongest line up in most of the early matches and consequently got off to a bad start on the table. With their better players on the field Brondesbury turned their season around and made a late charge for the semi-final. A team to watch out for next season.
Statistics : Dave McClatchey 195 runs and 11 wickets, D. North 201 runs, D. Woodbury 14 wickets and S. Gray 14 wickets.
Glebe
Glebe struggled fielding a team in some matches this season and consequently a disappointing season resulted. When Glebe did field their strongest team they scored some good wins which we have become accustomed to over the years.
Statistics : G. Cordner 118 runs and 8 wickets and G. Power 10 wickets.
DAVE POWER
SECOND GRADE REPORT
The second grade competition was a very even and hard fought contest. Both semi-finals and the final went down to the wire with second grade runners-up the previous season, The Coast prevailing over Edmund / Ferns in the final.
The Coast
Although finishing third on the second grade table The Coast played stirring cricket in the final series to take out the premiership and in some way make up for the disappointment of the previous season when the final was abandoned due to a vandalised pitch. Reading through the statistics shows that this win was a real team effort with many players contributing with the bat and ball. Special mention to Steve Burgess who took out the Association's bowling aggregate with 33 wickets.
Statistics : Tony Daddona 328 runs, A. Russell 309 runs and 21 wickets, Steve Burgess 33 wickets and Jason Tattershall 248 runs and 16 wickets.
Edmund / Ferns
Edmund / Ferns had a great season finishing third on the first & second grade combined table, but unfortunately falling at the last hurdle to The Coast. Edmund / Ferns were probably the most consistent team all season and were one of only two that defeated Souths Juniors during the course of the season. R. Coulson starred with the bat scoring 398 runs to win the Association's batting aggregate award.
Statistics : R. Coulson 398 runs anc1 .16 wickets, Scott Guthrie 348 runs, D. Orchard 262 runs and 25 wickets and Phil Thompson 31 wickets.
Waverley Wombats
Waverley had a strong season but must be disappointed at losing in the semi-final series again. During the competition rounds Waverley provided every team, including the top first grade teams with a hard fought out match. Keiran Hickey had another great season with the ball winning the Association's bowling average award with 26 wickets.
Statistics : W. Sellar 261 runs, J. Harkins 250 runs, K. Hickey 26 wickets and S. Debellis 23 wickets.
Coogee Rebels
Coogee struggled this season without their star bowler Jason Simmons (overseas), but they did enough to make the semi-finals losing to Edmund / Ferns in a very close encounter.
Statistics : Jason Brenton 27 wickets, C. Everson 236 runs and Brad Simmons 20 wickets.
Matraville Cobras
The Cobras had a tough season in the top grades and will appreciate a probable drop in grade next season. The team did come up with a few good wins during the season and batsman Chris Jones took out the Associations batting average award at 39.43.
Statistics : Chris Jones 276 runs, A. Crawley 246 runs and Jack Scoro 22 wickets.
DAVE POWER
THIRD GRADE REPORT •
Third Grade proved to be one of the most competitive contests. Several fine teams were in contention throughout the season. The final make-up of the semi-finals was not decided until the second last round.
Mascot RSL - Premiers
Mascot RSL fielded a very fine all round team. They won a hard fought semi-final against Woolpack Wolves. They then went on to defeat Randwick CYM in the final. All rounder R. Staughton had a very fine season with bat and ball 359 runs, 26 wickets, S. Foley 268 runs and J Shanahan 303 runs. Bowling was also led by S. Doubleday (25 wickets).
Randwick CYM
The young team from Randwick CYM did well to make the final, but found Mascot RSL too strong on the day. They had a fine win over Clovelly in the semi-final. The team was well led by Captain Barry McMenemy. Leading batsmen R. Kirma 346 runs, I. Yesil 265 runs and M. Wardlaw 252 runs. Wicket takers were B. McMenemy 25 wickets and R. Kinna 21 wickets.
Clovelly - Minor Premiers
CloveIly had a very good season winning the minor premiership. They had a very well balanced team with good depth in batting and bowling. They had a very fine batsmen in J. Archer who was the outstanding batsmen in the grade with 665 runs. Clovelly lost to Randwick CYM in the semi-final in a low scoring match.
Leading batsmen were J. Archer 665 runs, C. Gibson 433 runs and R. Delvecchio 449 runs. Wicket takers were A. Faulkner 40 wickets and J. Astuy 30 wickets. Hat trick - A. Faulkner 17-6-35.
Woolpack Wolves
After joining forces with the Cavaliers Club, Woolpack Wolves fielded a very strong batting team, but lacked depth in their bowling. They lost a very close semi-final to Mascot RSL. All looks well for the next season.
Leading batsmen were G. Gately 521 runs, G. Bayliss 259 runs and A. McEncroe 293 runs. Wicket takers were Rob Swindle 21 wickets and Brett Gibson 23 wickets.
Souths Juniors
Souths finished a close fifth just missing out on the semi-finals. It was very difficult for them to field the same team week to week due to the fact that Souths had five teams in the competition. When they were able to field their strongest side they were capable of beating the top sides. Souths had a very fine all rounder in G. Symonds.
Leading batsmen were G. Symonds 443 runs, J. Kyriazis 332 runs and W. Mitchell 328 runs. Wicket takers were G. Symonds 21 wickets, E. Freton 21 wickets and J. Kyriazis 19 wickets.
Knox
Knox found it very difficult to field a full team in many games, but to their credit they finished the season with some fine wins against the better teams. I am sure next season they will be back to their best.
Leading batsmen were M. Carroll 323 runs, M. Writer 269 runs and D. Kenny 202 runs. Wicket takers were A. Adamson 31 wickets and B. Elliott 24 wickets.
Croydon Park
One of the new teams to join the Association found third grade a bit strong early, but improved during the latter half of the season with some fine wins against some of the leading teams. I am sure next season they will be much stronger.
Leading batsmen - T. Leiria° 449 runs, D. Kovnadis 279 runs and S. Kouzoukas 255 runs. Wicket takers - S. Mihopoulos 26 wickets and T. Leiriao 38 wickets.
Doncaster
After having a good season in 1887-98 much was expected of the Doncaster club, but they lost half of their team from the previous season and found it very difficult to compete against the stronger clubs. Also at times they were forced to play without a full team.
Leading batsmen were J. Howell 316 runs and M. Tasker 214 runs. Wicket takers were B. Casey 15 wickets and M. Howell 13 wickets.
JOHN CHALMERS
FOURTH GRADE REPORT
Once again 4th grade proved to be the most competitive grade in the competition with the last round having a number of teams pushing for the final fourth spot to be in the semis.
Botany United had the best and worst of seasons with Silvio Munzone passing away whilst playing cricket early in the season. After this tragedy it appeared Botany was never going to lose a game and won the premiership =defeated.
Botany United
A strong all-round team proved to be the strength of the side plus the determination of the players ensured Botany was by far the best team in the grade.
Both the batting and bowling were spread amongst a number of players but in particular David Choy with 417 runs for the season and Darren Munzone with 279 runs. Bowling efforts rewarded to Brian Pollock with 27 wickets for the season. Also Darren Munzone showed his all round ability with 18 for the season, not including 8 wickets in the final against The Coast.
The Coast
A consistent team in general, batting well spread with C. Coombes scoring 340 runs and Mal Drummond 231 runs.
Bowling award to Dave Parker with 37 wickets who proved to be the back bone in the bowling attack for The Coast.
The form shown by The Coast during the season unfortunately did not carry through to the semis and could not rise to the occasion against Botany United in the final.
Archers
Sneaking into the final fourth spot for the second season in a row Botany appeared to be on the ropes when the Archers had them all out for about 140 runs, however the Archers could not perform with the bat against a determined Botany team.
An inform John Riley scored 339 runs for the season and was supported by Roger Garner, 273 runs and Ashley Carter 192 runs.
Strong bowling efforts by Ashley Carter, 30 wickets plus Peter Loreggia and Gus Richmond taking 20 wickets each for the season.
Randwick CYM
Another team sneaking into the semi finals, however they could not beat The Coast in the first of the semis.
Batting aggregate, 575 runs and average 52 scored by the Captain P. -Orinuela and was supported by J. Scrymengeour with 338 runs for the season.
Strong effort in the bowling department by M. Hynes taking 21 wickets and providing the main strike attack for the team.
Dons XI
The Don's unfortunately failed at the end of the season after remaining in the top four for most of the early rounds. A few vital games however found Don's out of the semis at the end of the season.
Batting aggregate to G. Kandylas, 475 runs supported by G. Dapas, 275 runs and J. Bartolo 249 runs.
The bowling attack was shared between a number of players with no real strike bowler, however G. Panagiopoulo had 17 wickets for the season and good contributions by T. Savell and C. Razmouski.
East Village All Stars
The Barrington clan contributed over 800 runs and 30 wickets for the season.
All-round performance by A. Lygoe, 237 runs and 21 wickets also the main strike bowler G. Morris with 26 wickets for the season.
On their day the East Village All Stars could beat any team in the grade with their attacking approach in taking on the bowlers.
Always a good spirited team to play against who enjoy cricket.
South's Juniors
A team with potential and talented young players however it was a struggle in maintaining a full team with quality players.
This unfortunately with the mix and change in players from various teams in a large club made it difficult to maintain consistency.
Good batting contributions from A. Sinclair with 273 runs, K. Wylie, 233 runs and A. Stewart 210 runs for the season.
The above batsmen were also the main bowling attack with A. Stewart, 23 wickets which was well supported by K. Brocklehurst with 14 wickets for the season.
DAVID PARK
FIFTH GRADE REPORT
Coast 4
After having to forfeit the first game of the season, being written off by all and sundry, The Coast 4 side performed a remarkable feat to win the fifth grade competition. The outstanding players in this side were Sanjay Prasad and Mark Guthrie who proved to be a very formidable opening pair. Solid support then came from Peter Mitchell whose 66 in the final was outstanding. The bowling was ably handled by Jim Klimis, Peter Cooley, Karl Quinney and the veterans Steve Taylor and Tom Sumsky Snr who always got the job done when called upon.
University of New South Wales
The new boys to the Association and the pace setters all season certainly gave The Coast a run for their money in the final. They were ably served by M. Roberts and C. Strahorn with the bat and D. Taylor and T. Payne with the ball. The team was ably captained by David Ward who contributed with 25 catches and 3 stumpings in a very good season.
Coast 3
This side was one of the hardest teams to play against because of its strength in all facets of the game. Their batting was strong with the evergreen Neil Johns 370 runs, Craig Kennedy 282, Paul Dowd 325 the mainstays and in the bowling the evergreen Tex Ferrier 36 wickets at 16. Derek Phillips 31 and John Smith 29 being reliable with the ball when called on.
Randwick CYM
On their day this side were the side to beat with solid performances all round with fire-brand Ross Dwyer leading the way with 37 wickets, J Cooper 38 and some excellent performances from part timers M. Bond 28, S. McFadden 17 (including 11 against Coast 4) and A. Cuthbert 18. Their batting was also very strong with S. McFadden 752 runs and S. Hudson 451, A. Cuthbert 386 and J. Cooper 343 all making telling contributions during the season.
Souths
This side played some very attacking cricket during the season. P. Lazaropolous again being a standout with both the bat 443 and 48 wickets with solid support from M. Dishea (420 runs). The side was superbly led by Les Hick who took 14 wickets at 25.5.
G.C.S.
The unlucky team in the competition. When they were at full strength they were as competitive as the top four sides, but without top personal like Ken Osgood and Paul Curry for various reasons it brought about their undoing on numerous occasions. They were well served by M. Borich with the double (448 runs) and 32 wickets. Eddy Hamati 293 runs with B. Clarke 27 wickets and P. Curry 26.
Darlington
Due to a lack of numbers on several occasions during the season this team just could not perform. They had the previous season, but became the nuisance team especially in the second half of the season. Opposition teams really had to work hard to obtain the maximum result. They were well served by skipper D. Griffs 415, A. Wilson 393, 1). Kearney 300 and in the bowling department A. Vaughan 26 wickets, J. Edwards 19 and P. Robson 17.
In summary, this season in fifth grade was the most evenly rated terms in the whole competition. Congratulations to all the trophy winners in this grade.
W. GLACKEN
SIXTH GRADE REPORT
The sixth grade competition proved to be an interesting struggle with BMX', Randwick CYM and Edmund Ferns being freely tipped to be in the top four, with the other five sides to fight it out for the fourth spot. This was how it turned out, with Waverley Wombats finishing fourth. The final series provided an upset with Waverley Wombats beating minor premiers BlVD(I, whilst Randwick CYM -disposed of Edmund Ferns. Waverley Wombats continued its giant killing act by defeating Randwick CYM by 2 rims in a thrilling final.
Waverley Wombats
The quiet achievers of the sixth grade competition who built their winning season on a strong batting line up, with six of their players scoring over 200 runs, a steady bowling attack that was well supported by their fielding. They were best served with the bat by G. Turek 363 runs and J. Woodbridge who only played in the last five games, but managed to score 434, which included three centuries. The bowling honours were shared by I. Caffell who took 23 wickets and S. Evesson who took 20 wickets, C. Lafou also had a fine season scoring 208 runs and taking 13 wickets whilst B. Wylie scored 237 runs and took 9 dismissals as wicket keeper and J. Griffiths scored 311 runs.
Randwkk CYM
Semi finalists last year they were looking to go two better this year but were pulled up 2 runs short by Waverley Wombats in the final. A strong all-round team they were best served by D. West who scored 421 runs and took 21 wickets and K. Levell who scored 287 runs and took 31 wickets. These two were well supported by A. Hale who scored 244 and D. Fagan who scored 205 runs while K. Holmes took 17 wickets and scored 119 runs and S. Boland who took 15 wickets and scored 108 runs. Wicket keeper R. Butchaski supported his bowlers well by featuring in 20 dismissals which won him the Association wicket keeping award for Sixth Grade.
BM XI
Minor Premiers and favourites to win the Premiership they made most of the running throughout the year only to be beaten in the semi-final by eventual winners Waverley Wombats. Building their season around a fine fast bowling attack and a strong batting line up they were the side most teams feared. Led by Captain J. Motum who took 41 wickets, including a hat trick, scored 200 runs and took 6 catches the rest of the team followed his example.
Stmil Sivarajah had a fine all round season scoring 427 runs, took 29 wickets and took 10 catches and G. Stuart scoring 310 runs and took 39 wickets, which won him the Association bowling average award. Other players to perform well were P. Lyneham 174 runs and 19 wickets and M. Hunyor with 164 runs and 11 wickets, which showed the strong all round depth of the side.
Edmunds Ferns
One of the strongest sides in the competition they were their own worst enemies in the later part of the season by continually playing short in terms of player numbers. Well led by Captain G. Tunks who scored 690 runs and took 38, he was ably supported by M. French who scored 594 and took 43 wickets which won him the Association bowling aggregate award. These two players were the backbone of the side and both featured strongly in the Player's Player points with M. French eventually winning this through all grades. Other players to have good seasons were D. Maynard who scored 243 runs and J. Mayers who took 18 wickets.
Kingsford Apache
Semi-Finalist last year they just missed repeating that performance. They were best served by A. Jones who had a fantastic season scoring 1,115 runs taking 22 wickets and 10 catches, a performance that earned him both the Association batting average and aggregate awards as well as the Association All Rounder Award. He was well supported by G. Layton who scored 219 runs and took 23 wickets and C. Koutsis who scored 184 runs and took 32 wickets.
Rusty Shovels
With the playing personnel to give this competition a shake they suffered badly from not being able to get a full side on the park every game. They were best served by S. Hobbs who scored 726, Captain M. Stott 308 and L. Pritchard 213 (from three games). N. Cola had a fine all round season scoring 284 and taking 28 wickets. While G. Proud with 164 runs and 27 wickets also had a good season.
Glebe Gypsies
Had a disappointing 1998/99 season with a cavalcade of team changes throughout the year they failed to find the consistent form required to win cricket games. T. Masters who took 19 wickets in ten games proved their best bowler while W. Fenton-Smith 180 runs from 9 games and T. Lebler 162 runs from 7 games proved to be their most consistent batsmen.
The Coast
Despite some good early form this side failed to live up to expectation by finishing eight. J. Steel 437 runs at which included a double century and 25 wickets, which included a hat trick, proved to be their best player. He was well supported by S. Crow 220 runs and 11_ wickets M. Noland 262 runs and A. Vickery 248 runs.
The 1998/99 season provided a most interesting one with the highlight being A. Jones feat of scoring over 1,000 runs in a season, the first time this has been done in this Association. In a year where the bat dominated the ball with two players scoring double centuries and three players scoring multiple centuries it would seem that the bowlers had the worst of it, but two still managed to take hat tricks and eight bowlers managed to take six or more wickets.
I would like to congratulate all players who participated in this season for making it a most enjoyable one.

SEVENTH GRADE REPORT
The seventh grade competition turned out to be a very tightly fought contest. The Bears being the eventual winners. In their first season, they defeated another new team, Matthew Talbot in the final. Although the top four teams were decided with several rounds to go, it was not until the last round that the placings were decided.
The Bears
Led by Craig Doyle and supported by a consistent team effort, The Bears were deserved premiers. Coming into the semis they were third. However, they overcame a determined Waverley Wombats team and went on to beat Matthew Talbot in the final.
Their most prominent players were: S. Meloney (626 runs and 34 wickets), R. Doyle (517 runs and 35 wickets), J. Grimaldi (410 runs), M. Hoveling (384 runs) and C. Doyle (367 runs).
Matthew Talbot
Another new team to this competition, Matthew Talbot acquitted themselves well to make a final at the first attempt. Fourth coming into the semis, they accounted for Edmund / Ferns and then faced The Bears in the final.
This team was best served by: P. Day (745 runs and 52 wickets), E. Klein (588 runs and 15 wickets), W. Hynes (270 runs and 25 wickets) and R. Thomsen (18 wickets).
Edmund / Ferns
Minor premiers by one point, due mainly to a resounding outright victory in the second last round against Waverley Wombats, the Edmund / Ferns team could not continue that form and were beaten in their semi-final by a determined Matthew Talbot side. Lack of consistency proved to be their downfall.
Outstanding performances were: S. Melas (592 runs and 8 wickets), M. Smith (356 runs), J. Butler (173 runs and 48 wickets) and N. Vitetzakis (20 wickets).
Waverley Wombats
This Waverley Wombats side was consistently competitive throughout the season. They were unfortunate to be hit by injuries on the eve of the• semis. Waverley were well beaten in their semi-final by an in form The Bears outfit. They played well all season and were unlucky not to proceed further.
Best players for this team were: D. Brekan (428 runs), P. Robinson (258 runs and 24 wickets), B. Turek (208 runs and 20 wickets) and I. Khan (145 runs and 28 wickets).
Souths Juniors
The South Juniors team always put in a good effort during the season and also created some problems for the top four teams by winning against the odds toward the end of the season. A combination of youth and experience, they seemed to enjoy their season.
Their best players were: W. Stewart (241 runs and 41 wickets), T. Glyrm (200 runs), R. Gartner (186 runs) and D. Callan (119 runs and 19 wickets).
GCB
This team was considered "easybeats" early in the season, however they came back strongly in the second half of the season, to cause some headaches for the top four teams. Having a full team lifted their moral and their efforts.
The most consistent players were: V. Rao (224 runs and 14 wickets), C. Rao (221 runs and 8 wickets), R. Roggeri (203 runs and 12 wickets) and B. Brimfield (172 runs).
Even though this is the lowest grade in the competition, the teams that participated played with great relish. This was evident in the tight finishes in the final rounds. All those who took part in this competition deserve praise as they played in the spirit of the game. Congratulations must go to The Bears for their fine effort to win first time around.

MARTIN SHIELD
The 1998/99 season proved both successful and disappointing for the Martin Shield side. It was successful in that we won four out of five of our round robin matches to finish second in our division, disappointing in that we lost our Semi-final to the eventual winners Nepean District Cricket Association.
Overall the side performed extremely well, playing some extremely good cricket and showing a lot of heart and determination to win when the game seemed lost. Two fine examples of this were against Northern Districts at Sommerville Park, where we bowled out for 155 and in reply North's were 8 for 152 when Eli Kapodistrias started his 20th straight over and took both remaining wickets in four balls without conceding a run to finish with the figures of 19.4 overs 5 maidens 7 for 55. The other example was against George's River at Sydney Park where we were bowled out for 94, on what was considered a good batting track as 600 runs had been scored on it the day before by the Shires 1st Grade, but with Glen Standing leading the way we bowled George's River out for 81 with Glen taking 7 for 38 off 9.5 overs.
I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate all the players who played this season and a special congratulations to Eli Kapodistrias for winning the Martin Shield bowling aggregate and to Chris Delamotte for taking the Martin Shield wicket-keepers award.
A special thanks goes to Maria Fulford for scoring in all our matches, and to Bill Glacken for umpiring. I would also like to thank our number one supporters Jane and Mel for their help and all the oranges and other goodies they brought. Lastly but by no means least a special thanks to the management of the Pagewood Hotel for their Sponsorship.
With a little more commitment from our batsmen and a touch of luck we hope to go two matches better next season.
GARY FULFORD MANAGER
TELEGRAPH SHIELD
In a bold attempt to provide representative cricket opportunities for young players in our district the Association entered a side in the Telegraph Shield competition, administered by the NSW Districts Cricket Association. For the first time in many seasons this competition was for the Under 21 age group, in the past the competition was for players under 23 years of age. In hindsight this change in competition structure did not assist the MP & SE cause as we have very few cricketers in this age group playing in our local competition. Another logistical problem carried by our Association was the many alternative competitions available to young players in our District. In other areas the choice is limited to Grade or Park cricket, hence the pool of talent available to our opponents is much greater than the resources of the MP & SE Competition.
Bearing the above factors in mind the overall performance of the Telegraph Shield team in winning two of its five matches was a reasonable performance. Our competition does have a small group of young men who are competitive with the best players other districts produce. All players who represented Moore Park South East gave 100% every time they walked on the field and the experience gained by some of the lower grade players who represented the Association will contribute to improved performances in the future.
The first game of the competition was against Fairfield at Cabramatta Park. Fairfield tallied 9/245 off their 55 overs. In the face of some hostile fast bowling MP & SE were dismissed for 57. The highlight for our team was the fine bowling of Anthony Sinclair who took 8/76 in the Fairfield innings. Readers might like to note every player in the Fairfield side had grade cricket experience, with two players being regular 1st and 2nd
graders in recent seasons !!!
In Round 2 MP & SE with a side bolstered by some Shires and Metropolitan Cup Players defeated Blacktown in a hard fought struggle. The scores were 10/152 to 10/132, the ground at Whalan. Park had very long boundaries with shaggy grass 5m from the fence. Jason Talhurst 44, Ian Russell 33 and Anthony Hale 32 were the successful batsmen for MP & SE. In the bowling department Anthony Sinclair 4/28, Rob Kirma 2/13 and Michael Butchatsky 4/42 took the honours.
Game 3 against St George at Jubilee Oval Glebe saw another thrilling struggle with MP & SE 9/197 scoring a narrow win against Saints 10/179. Rob Kinna had a fine game with bat and ball scoring 51 runs and taking 3/31. Batsmen to assist the team cause were Kris Wylie 40, Anthony Hale 36 and David Marsh 28. All the bowlers and fielders gave maximum effort with David Marsh claiming a vital 4/60 to steer the side to a pleasing win.
In game 4 the talented Hawkesbury side prevented a trifecta by MP & SE inflicting defeat by a margin on 8/234 to 7/161 at Woodlands Oval. Best bowlers for MP & SE were Kris Wylie with 3/37 and Adam Stewart who captured 2/46. The batting response revolved around a dashing 83 not out from Anthony Sinclair and a well crafted 34 from David Marsh.
The final match for our side was against Camden at Alexandria Park. Once again we encountered strong opposition losing 0/134 to 10/120. The Moore Park score would have been lower had Anthony Sinclair not contributed a polished 50. This match was a game where MP & SE struggled to get players owing to the holiday period. Conversely Camden had 12 enthusiastic players, plus administrative crew and spectators !!!
Camden went on to defeat Fairfield in the semi-finals, demonstrating the talent in their side. In the other semi-final Parramatta defeated Hawkesbury. Parramatta then defeated Camden to become Telegraph Shield Premiers for the 1998/99 season. In a sense MP & SE can say we were unlucky to draw three semi-finalists during the early rounds of competition. On the other hand a number of players are probably relieved we did not play Parramatta !!!
In summary, an enjoyable competition to participate in with a good standard of cricket every match. Thanks to all the players who represented the Association during this five game series, we certainly gave opportunities to a number over "youngsters" during the competition. Association officials also learned some valuable lessons during the rep season and this experience should prove beneficial in the future.
Finally many, many thanks to John Walden who somehow Managed and Umpired this side in addition to his onerous duties as a Secretary of the Association, an amazing performance in deed !!! A further thank you to Kevin MacDonald who acted as scorer on a number of occasions as well as "odd jobs" man.
