11 ADMINISTRATION Obituaries Peter Andrew Sharp 11 August February 2012 We are crossing now to Lancaster Park for further commentary of the Plunket Shield match between Canterbury and The cricketing landscape in Canterbury just wasn t quite the same this season without that familiar introduction which would usher in one of the great sporting commentators to have graced New Zealand s sporting radio and television. Chris Doig, Jock Hobbs and Peter Sharp; New Zealand has lost some hugely influential sports people in the last twelve months. People with passion, commitment, and dignity; people who touched a wider community; people who set the highest standards in all they undertook. Peter Sharp was a cricket commentator for 45 years. This was his New Zealand profile but he served his province and country well in administration too. He played first class cricket for Canterbury; he was a Canterbury selector; he was in various and continuous administrative roles from 1967 to He was a Life Member of Canterbury Cricket from He was on the New Zealand Board of Control into the 2000s and he received the Sutcliffe Medal for outstanding service to cricket in New Zealand. After rising very rapidly to become a secondary school Deputy Principal, he left education to involve himself in youth sport in the role of Executive Director of New Zealand Secondary Sports Council. He was also on the Hillary Commission and was a trustee of the Murray Halberg Trust. Young New Zealand sports people benefitted greatly through his influence and guidance. So, too, did young Cantabrians. The current Canterbury Cricket holiday coaching clinics had their foundation through Peter with his association with Martin Horton and then Peter Philpott as hundreds would be catered for in those January days from the late 1960s onwards. He went on, along with Dave Trist, to promote Canta Cricket. As a player he was a wily off spin bowler; some opposing batsmen might suggest ahead of his time as there was no 15 degree latitude for bent arms in the 1960s and 70s. He was an innovative and highly successful club captain, a captain truly ahead of his time. He would regularly open with spin, set a very reasonable total for an opponent to chase for he backed the quality of his bowlers with aggressive field placings; West Christchurch University teams that he led had considerable success. He was a hard task master and he demanded the best. He had a high cricketing intellect, was sharp on detail and enjoyed nothing more than debating some cricketing innovation that had emerged or some cricketing quirk that he had unearthed. His was a voice made for radio with its easy and sonorous tones imparting a vast knowledge and laced enthusiastically with many humorous anecdotes; the Peter Coman- Barry Hadlee run out fiasco comes to mind. He was professional in every aspect of his commentating; he was always prepared and his Almanack and Wisden were never far from his side. At the 2009 Under 19 World Cup, part hosted in Christchurch, he was at Hagley Park at the Sri Lanka net practice sitting under a tree quietly making notes by putting difficult names to unfamiliar faces. His style was one based on accuracy of pronunciation, of detail, and of knowledge. The listener could rely on those accurate images that Peter constructed in the mind. Perhaps it was fitting that his attendance at his last Canterbury match was at his beloved Hagley Oval adjacent to the former West Christchurch University pavilion (now the Umpires pavilion), and with many of his friends sharing the warmth of his company. He was in his element. He will be sadly missed. just hold that thought and I ll return to it in a moment, as Hadlee comes in to bowl 9

12 ADMINISTRATION Chris Doig Ken Germon Thelma Macdonald Christopher Keith Doig OBE, CNZM October 2011 The Chris Doig Foundation, launched just prior to his death, is aimed at developing the potential of young leaders in the fields of academia, sport, community and the arts. Each encapsulates the legacy of Chris Doig. That the leaders of these areas were to comment on his contribution to New Zealand society following his death, indicates the paths he had trod and the lives he had touched. His opinion and his wisdom were much sought after in a variety of Board rooms throughout New Zealand. The Press described Chris as being big in stature, big in personality. Those of us who met him wandering casually around the St Andrew s College boundary in support of his son, Luke, on a Saturday afternoon found an engaging man, full of interest, full of enthusiasm, yet willing to listen and share. Chris played his club cricket in Christchurch for the High School Old Boys CC to a senior level but his major impact in this sport was as the Chief Executive Officer for New Zealand Cricket for six years from Chris was awarded the OBE for services to the arts in 1992, and was made a Companion of the New Zealand Order of Merit in Kenneth Alfred Germon 18 May November 2011 Ken was born in Essex, England and emigrated with his parents to New Zealand in He joined the Royal New Zealand Air Force in 1953 where he trained as a Physical Fitness instructor. In 1966, as a parachute instructor, Ken had a severe jumping accident which left him with permanent leg injuries. Ken had been a fine athlete representing the Armed Services in both cricket and football. If there was a silver lining to this flying setback, it was to steer Ken from actively participating in sport to coaching and the administration of sport. He established a long association with Christchurch cricket and, in particular, the Christchurch Junior Cricket Association for whom he was President from 1984 to 1986 and, again, from 1990 to He was a Life Member of that Association and an Honorary Cricket member of the Canterbury Cricket Association. In later life, Ken continued his involvement in sport by playing bowls for the Amberley, Rangiora and Woodend Clubs. He met with considerable success on the greens at club and provincial level and served as Treasurer for the latter two clubs. Ken made a valuable contribution to community sport and was outstanding at the junior cricket level. Thelma Macdonald QSM 22 November February 2012 Thelma received the Queen s Service Medal for services to Women s cricket in New Zealand in the New Year s Honours in Behind this prestigious award lies decades of administration for the Canterbury Women s Cricket Association and for the New Zealand Women s Cricket Council. Thelma played for the Canterbury 1st XI in the season, but most of her representative playing days were spent in the 2nd XI from to However her telling contribution was to lie beyond the playing fields. Bearing in mind that Women s cricket was underway in New Zealand in 1930, Thelma was a true pioneer. She was secretary in through to ; she was to serve again as secretary, much later this time, from to She moved from Secretary to the role of Treasurer from to and then again from to , then to She was President of the Canterbury Association from to , and On top of this, Thelma was a representative selector from to At this point, in she was elected as a Life Member of the Canterbury Women s Cricket Association. Throughout this association with Canterbury, Thelma represented her province as delegate on the New Zealand Women s Cricket Council from to and then again in , and to She was 10

13 ADMINISTRATION John Capstick Roy Holmes Alan Britton elected as a Life Member of the New Zealand Women s Cricket Association in September This is a remarkable woman who served her sport with commitment and passion. However, perhaps her greatest legacy to Women s cricket in Canterbury are the player records she faithfully compiled to 1998, hand-written and by type writer, which currently exist at the offices of Canterbury Cricket. She was to produce a priceless document in The Jubilee Booklet in 1980 which have provided the basis of material for our Women s Honours Boards and Wall of Fame. Player, administrator, historian, Thelma Macdonald made a vast contribution to cricket in Canterbury. John Dennis Capstick 21 September March 2012 After receiving his early cricket education in Kaiapoi and with various North Canterbury Junior representative teams, John attended Christchurch Boys High School where he played for the 1st XI in 1953 and He joined the East Christchurch Shirley CC in 1955, captained the team during the early 1960s and finished his senior career in John was a right hand opening batsman who played with great consistency; he had the ability to score freely all around the wicket with his driving being a feature. He impressed to the extent of winning selection for the New Zealand Colts Tour to Australia in1956. John s cricket didn t finish in 1969 for he was to don the creams for the High School Old Boys Presidents team for some seasons. For over two decades John served as a selector, coach and committee member on the Christchurch Junior Cricket Association of which he was to become a Life Member. John was popular and easy-going and his sense of humour made him good company to be with. He showed considerable skill in other sporting interests including rugby, golf and bowls, and he spent long hours fishing at Wainui and in the Marlborough Sounds. His business pursuit saw him involved in Anderson and Hill Sports Store. William Roy Holmes 1 December April 2012 Roy Holmes was born in Oamaru. He was educated at St Andrew s College and the University of Otago Medical School. After working in hospitals in England and Scotland, he returned to Christchurch in 1957 to establish a private practice as an eye surgeon. He was Head of the Christchurch Hospital s Ophthalmology Department in 1982 and retired from that position in He served a large number of public bodies including the Hospital Board for 18 years (9 as Chairman), the Waimairi CC and various environmental bodies. Roy Holmes was an avid cricket follower who served Canterbury Cricket tirelessly as one of its Honorary Medical Officers from to , and he also served on the Victory Park Board. Alan Edward Law Britton 3 December May 2012 Alan Britton attended Christchurch Boys High School from 1935 to 1940 after which he joined the High School Old Boys CC as a wicket keeper-batsman in He served in World War II in the Royal New Zealand Air Force. While he was a useful lower order batsman with a highest first class score of 46, he made his mark behind the stumps where he gained a reputation for very fine glove work; in senior cricket he made 154 dismissals including 65 stumpings. Alan represented Canterbury for five seasons from to during which he claimed 40 dismissals; included in this first class playing schedule were matches against Fiji and Australia. Alan s first class career ended with the arrival of West Indian International wicket keeper-batsman, Sam Guillen who was to later represent New Zealand. Alan was a member of the Canterbury Cricket Association s Management Committee from as the delegate of the Canterbury Boys Association. He served on that committee until during which he was Chairman from Alan pursued a successful career in education which led him to become founding principal of Hornby High School. 11

14 International Cricket returns to Christchurch A minute s silence in memory of the victims of the Christchurch earthquakes I blame the Wellington match! It was that match at Hagley Oval in January 2012 that proved something of a portent. That Sunday saw sunshine and crowds, it saw excited children, and excited adults, leaving representative cricket at Hagley eagerly looking towards the next Hagley encounter between South Africa and Canterbury. It was 15 February; while the threatening black clouds lay across the horizon, nothing was going to prevent the cricket supporters from seeing International cricket return to Hagley Oval and to Christchurch. Days of activity had preceded this: pickets erected, patterned outfield mown, marquees in place, television towers mushroom, temporary stands appear, teardrop banners sway to the music. Tom s roller had stopped, the last touches of whiting had been applied to circle and crease, the boundary rope uncoiled and in place, and the sight screens had been rolled to their stations. All lay in wait for a sportstarved cricketing public. Meanwhile, our gracious guests from South Africa had arrived. They had kindly agreed to play in a pre-tour Rise Up Christchurch Twenty20 match to help the recovery as the advertising blurb had said. They disembarked from the coach in sombre mood, for they had been on a brief tour of our inner city viewing some of the earthquake damage in a reverent silence. After the mandatory warm-ups and a successful call, they chose to bat. Over 4000 fans: sponsors, parents and children, locals and interlopers, cricketers, past and present, were in place for Matt Henry s first ball to Richard Levi. This pugilistic right hander punished anything loose, and not so loose, to and over vacant areas of the Oval. This was an innings of some brutality which saw an expectant crowd leaning forward 12 Days of activity had preceded this... all lay in wait for a sport-starved cricketing public. watchful for their immediate health, a Wizards captain with furrowed brow, and John Wright making mental notes. He plundered his half century in no time and, with Hashim Amla constructing a sedate run-a-ball 30 odd, a 100 run opening partnership threatened. But it was to a part-timer, George Worker, that Peter Fulton turned and he rewarded his skipper s faith with an excellent, and unexpected, 3 for 23. The visitors innings did not progress as anticipated with the South Africans failing to adjust to the sluggish nature of the pitch. Colin Ingram and AB De Villiers came and went, while only Jean-Paul Duminy maintained any momentum against some athletic outfielding from a coltish Canterbury team. 150 runs gave respectability to the Canterbury bowling and hope to the Canterbury batting. A contemplative meal didn t help the Canterbury cause; nor did the wonderfully-accurate bowling of tall left-armer, Lonwabo Tsotsobe, who caused the first four batsmen to return to their marquee with little reward. An early trip home beckoned the enthusiastic supporters but Matt Henry, in a carefree, will o the wisp innings, cleared the ropes on four occasions in his punishing innings of 42 in just 17 balls. He found a willing lieutenant in Matt McEwan, and together they dared to give hope to the cheering crowd. But it was Morne Morkel who would dash these hopes and see a brave young Canterbury team fall 20 runs short. Help in the recovery screamed the advertising. At the conclusion, the scores of breathless and smiling children with bat and ball, playing around the block and on the outfield, temporarily gave a lie to the fact that times are tough. International cricket at Hagley seemed a natural fit for players, supporters and Christchurch.

34 ADMINISTRATION President s Report The Canterbury Cricket Association continues to focus on building its game in the best interests of Canterbury and New Zealand Cricket. It continues to strive to be the best association in New Zealand in player strength, administration and to stand up financially. As part of this continued development, it is important for Canterbury Cricket to develop a First Class venue, where our young players will be proud to play and where we can host International Cricket teams in an English setting. This makes the development of Hagley Park an integral part of the total Strategic Plan for our future. In the 2008/09 Annual Report it hailed an agreement between Canterbury Cricket and the Christchurch City Council to develop Hagley Oval as the preferred home of Canterbury Cricket. I am hopeful, by World Cup 2015, this will have been completed. I wish to acknowledge at this stage, the amazing contribution that our CEO, Lee Germon and President, Cran Bull have put into this project. With the population dynamics of Christchurch changing it is very important for the Canterbury Cricket Association to put resources into these new areas. The development of the Metro Cricket committee will allow for continued development of our amateur game. Our clubs should be encouraged in all the suburbs of Christchurch, especially as our new city structure evolves. For cricket to develop further in our community it will be important for all clubs to embrace all our schools, both with boys and girls cricket and for our clubs to play on improved grounds. The finances of the Association have once again been well managed by the Board. During the season the Board needed to spend additional funds to improve the playing surfaces of many of our grounds due to the earthquake. This will pay dividends as we move into a new season. Funding from New Zealand Cricket and various funding agencies has been maintained during difficult times. I also wish to acknowledge and thank all our sponsors of our game, not only at the association level, but also at our club level. Without them our game in Christchurch will not go ahead. The Canterbury Cricket Association is very lucky to have staff whom are passionate about improving our game and spreading our network across the whole of the Canterbury region which includes South Canterbury, Mid Canterbury, Canterbury Country, West Coast, Buller and Christchurch. Lee Germon, our CEO, has completed another excellent year and his enthusiasm and dedication has only enhanced our great game. Lee is totally focused on what is good for Canterbury Cricket. A big thank you to Lee and your staff from us all. If Canterbury Cricket is to continue to lead on the playing field in both men s and women s cricket, it will need to 32 develop its high performance program both for players and our coaches. Only then can we bring these young players through to be competitive First Class players and then help New Zealand Cricket improve on the World stage. The Senior Club competition was very competitive this season with a number of clubs in contention into the final few rounds. Good club competition in all grades is essential for our game to grow and with the development of the Metro Cricket Committee, grade cricket will continue to be reviewed. Congratulations to our Wizards and our Magicians for their overall performance during the season, especially, with both having such young squads. The review with players at the end of the season can only but improve the performance going forward especially if they commit to work as a team. We need to maintain strength in our age group cricket and continue to improve the technique of all our players, and not just practice for practice sake. Congratulations to our players who represented our National Teams during the season. Good luck for the coming season. The season highlight I feel, was when the Canterbury Wizards played South Africa at Hagley Oval in front of a crowd of just under It was an excellent evening and a taste of what we can look forward to in the future. In conclusion, I must acknowledge the commitment of your Board who are totally focused on improving our game in Canterbury and working in the best interest of all stakeholders. As your departing President I am hopeful that Hagley Oval can be completed in time for the 2015 World Cup and that Cricket World Cup organizing committee can see it fit to hold the opening game of this tournament at Hagley Oval. In doing this we can show the Canterbury community that it was a great move to develop Hagley Oval, not just for Cricket but for many other community activities. Paul McEwan President

35 ADMINISTRATION Chairman s Report It is my pleasure to present the Chairman s report for the year ended 31 July As usual the year has been challenging particularly as Canterbury Cricket, along with so many other sporting organisations in our city, moves to recover from all the problems resulting from the earthquakes. Yet again as I write this report, our permanent venue for international and first class cricket has still not been confirmed. However, I am optimistic that by the time of our Annual Meeting all approvals necessary for the development of Hagley Park will have been given. The announcement by Earthquake Recovery Minister Gerry Brownlee that Christchurch must be a World Cup host has given us hope that the authorities will support the development of this wonderful ground if not then there is no other alternative which could be developed in sufficient time. I personally would like to thank all clubs and other cricket stakeholders and fans who have openly supported Hagley Oval as usual the minority in our city who oppose the development make a lot of noise and seem to gain media exposure disproportionate to their numbers. However, at the end of the day, I am positive that the sheer logic of Hagley Park being developed as a world-class facility within walking distance of the new CBD and its hospitality outlets and its exciting new facilities will win the day. As a major sport in New Zealand, we need to attract youth to our city and then retain them to sustain and grow our game and the Hagley Oval development is essential for that. The financial result was pleasing. Although a small deficit was budgeted a surplus was achieved. It is true that insurance recoveries arising from earthquake loss claims assisted this result but on the other hand our deficit last year was mainly attributed to extraordinary costs incurred because of the dislocation caused by those events in respect of which insurance claims had not been settled by 31 July Congratulations must go to Lee Germon and management for this year s result a combination of prudent management of expenses and maintaining gaming trusts grants at a high level. Special mention should be made of the efforts of Trudy Anderson who has maintained and managed wonderful relationships with all the trusts. Lee Germon in his report has acknowledged the support of our sponsors and funding agencies and trusts. There is no need therefore for me to detail all our funders but the Board also adds its grateful thanks for their generous support. We are very aware of the difficulties under which most Christchurch businesses are still operating. And, of course, New Zealand Cricket s grants are essential to our survival and our ability to grow our game and it continues to fund Canterbury Cricket at a high level despite its own financial constraints. The establishment of the Christchurch Metropolitan Cricket Association (CMCA) to manage and administer club cricket is, in the Board s view, an exciting and progressive initiative. It will lead to a specific focus on our clubs and their well-being which is essential for the growth of our game. It is true that there was some debate as to the need for a separate organisation as opposed to a specific department being set up within Canterbury Cricket. However, the special attention which a committed separate board can give to club cricket was at the end of the day accepted as the best way forward. This is particularly so with the merger of Canterbury Cricket and the Christchurch Suburban Cricket Association (CSCA). The Board is appreciative of the efforts of Kelly Dellaca and his team for their work in establishing the CMCA. It also sincerely thanks the CSCA for its co-operation and foresight to enable the merger to become a reality. As with Canterbury Cricket, the CSCA saw the absolute need for the two associations to merge to give unity to the game in our city and make better use of resources. The Board of the CMCA will have substantial autonomy but Canterbury Cricket, as the governing body, will retain influence in certain strategic areas to ensure that the growth of our game and the development of our players aspiring to first-class and international representation fits in with the overall objects of Canterbury Cricket. At the AGM members will be asked to vote in favour of certain constitutional changes to accommodate the CMCA as a member of Canterbury Cricket and the Board strongly commends these changes to you. In his report Lee Germon has summarised the achievements of our various representative teams and the Board adds its congratulations for all the team and individual successes over the 2011/2012 season. In particular, the achievements of the Magicians in winning the National 33

36 ADMINISTRATION T20 final and being the runner up in the one day 50 over final deserves special mention. Tribute for these successes must be paid to the team under Amy Satterthwaite s astute leadership and also to Steve Cunis s management and coaching. Although the Wizards, under Bob Carter as coach and Peter Fulton as captain, did not enjoy the success of last year in winning the first-class Plunket Shield competition its achievements still included making the HRV T20 final and finishing high up in the one-day Ford Trophy series. It is still a young team with the potential to go to the top at all forms of the game. Canterbury Cricket was also well represented in the national men s and women s teams. Neither Steve Cunis as coach of the Magicians nor Bob Carter as coach of the Wizards will be with us next season. The Board congratulates and thanks both of them for their commitment and successes over the last few years and extends its best wishes to them in their future involvement in the game. We can all take some pride at Bob s appointment to the Black Caps coaching staff. Every year I thank the Umpires Association and the Christchurch Junior Cricket Association for their support and wonderful contribution to cricket in Canterbury. Both these organisations represent participants in our game which are essential for its sustenance and growth. I recommend to any of you who has retired from playing but wishes to maintain a close involvement in the game the possibility of putting your name forward to assist and support both of them in any way you can. Finally, I would like to thank Lee Germon and his team for their loyalty and dedication in managing our organisation and all its various activities. Canterbury Cricket could not ask for better servants of the game. Similarly, I personally thank my fellow Board members for their support and contributions. There will always be challenges for our game but Christchurch has its own special difficulties. I believe we have the team to meet those challenges and overcome those difficulties. Cran Bull Chairman 34

37 ADMINISTRATION Chief Executive Following last year, the challenge for all of us was to respond effectively and positively to ensure we mitigated any lost ground (literally and metaphorically) to our sport. As expected we experienced some difficulties with grounds and retaining our playing numbers but cricket was played and continues to cater for well over 20,000 players of both sexes and all ages. Performance against strategic plan # strategic goal 1 A venue for test cricket and a new home for Canterbury Cricket Progress has once again been frustratingly slow in our vision to enhance Hagley Oval into a ground that can be enjoyed by cricketers and supporters of all ages. This challenge has received a lot of publicity and as expected has its supporters and detractors. With the loss of both QE2 Park and AMI Stadium confirmed by Council our vision had to be adapted to enable the ground to be able to host all forms of cricket. The wonderful opportunity to host 2015 World Cup matches only served to highlight the importance of this ground development. Over the last 12 months there has been a great deal of discussion and speculation about our proposal. One only has to view our submission documents and information and imagery that are publicly available to understand that our proposal is indeed contemplated within the Hagley Management Plan and is an extension of cricket being on the oval for over 150 years. We were unfortunately stymied in our attempt to communicate clearly our vision by the understandable need to present to the City Councillors before being able to go public. It was June 12 of this year before we were able to present to them. By this point in time the opponents to the proposal had started a campaign based on conjecture and speculation. When we were able to eventually release the imagery and information the public support was overwhelming. Over two thirds of a stuff.co.nz poll of thousands of people supported the proposal, I received exceptional support from our cricketing family and in the space of only two weeks we had over 2,000 people sign an online support petition. Alongside this process was a separate process of constructing a new wicket block and outfield on the oval to enable first class cricket to be played in Christchurch again. The scope of this work does not allow Christchurch to host international matches as the infrastructure required for players, officials and media that will meet ICC criteria will still not be available. At the time of writing this work has commenced which will ideally enable us to host first class cricket on the oval in the forthcoming summer. It is only right that cricket is catered for in the earthquake recovery plan for Christchurch. As a major tenant of AMI Stadium, alongside rugby, and as the founder of Lancaster Park, cricket has to be considered in this city s recovery. At times I feel that the value of cricket in our community with its very large participation and interest base and ability to bring major events to our city is not appreciated or acknowledged by those in decision-making positions in our city. This will be reiterated, in my mind, if our city and the Canterbury region is not provided the opportunity to play a role in the cricket world cup. This event is a huge event on the world s sporting stage. Cricket is the number two participation sport globally and the tangible and intangible benefits that will result for our cricketers and citizens will be significant and we are willing to work with Council, CERA and central government to make it happen. The inclusion of the proposal in the Earthquake Recovery Plan released by the Prime Minister on July 30 is exciting but still open to clarification. This inclusion is the first step in making our vision a reality. This process has been challenging for St Albans and Riccarton cricket clubs. They have also been frustrated with the process which is understandable. We have encouraged the two clubs to look into the future for their respective clubs and view this situation in a positive manner. It is Canterbury Cricket s view that our premier cricket clubs should be part of a community and, notwithstanding the historical presence of these clubs on Hagley, it is irrefutable that one of their challenges has been the lack of a neighbourhood on their doorstep. Canterbury Cricket is committed to working with the two clubs in a mutually positive manner that will assist them to become strong, vibrant members of our cricket community. An enhanced Hagley Oval will have the capacity to host a greater frequency and breadth of cricket than ever before and provide facilities that enable both players and supporters of all ages to enjoy their cricket on the oval to an even greater extent than previously enjoyed. Canterbury Cricket is committed to Hagley Oval as our ground for all generations and will continue to work tirelessly to make this happen. 35

38 ADMINISTRATION # strategic goal 2 Grow the Canterbury community s interest in cricket Attendances at our Wizards home fixtures this season were an improvement on the previous season although falling below our budgeted level. The change back to holding the HRV Cup matches primarily in the holiday window worked well. The Wizards were again active in the community and it was a pleasure to once again be involved with Canteen, an organisation that mirrors many of the values that are important to Canterbury Cricket. The Magicians are steadily growing their profile. Being able to play double header Magicians Wizards matches has assisted us to build the recognition and appreciation for the team. # strategic goal 3 Grow the Canterbury community s participation in cricket The objective of this season was to support those clubs most affected by the earthquakes and mitigate the loss of people playing and involved in our sport. The highlight of the year was the introduction of a junior player recruitment role that was performed by Wizard and BLACKCAP Andrew Ellis. This resulted in a 94% retention rate of junior cricketers in the clubs on the eastern side of our city. This worked so effectively that we are continuing with this role in an expanded fashion for the forthcoming season. I would like to thank the Christchurch Junior Cricket Association and Sport Canterbury who were partners with us in this successful pilot programme. At the time of writing this report our actual playing numbers according to the New Zealand Cricket Census are unknown. It looks likely that we have experienced a small decrease in our total playing numbers which, although we worked hard to stop, is understandable in our current environment. I would like to express my thanks to the Christchurch Junior Cricket Association, Christchurch Suburban Cricket Association, South Canterbury Cricket Association, Mid Canterbury Cricket Association, Canterbury Country Cricket Association, West Coast Cricket Association and Buller Cricket Association for their major contribution to cricket in Canterbury. We obviously have work to do to bring our numbers back up and ensure that the quality of experience for all our cricketers makes them return time and time again. Club Cricket Christchurch Metropolitan Cricket Association (CMCA) The formation of this separate association was approved by the Board of the CCA and it has made good progress. The CMCA is the result of a merger between the Christchurch Suburban Cricket Association and the Canterbury Cricket Association. It is important that Canterbury Cricket focuses on the needs of all our stakeholders in our region. The formation of this association recognises that Christchurch Cricket is a very important part of cricket in our province and requires a unique focus. Approximately 55% of our total cricketers play in the Christchurch region. Likewise, our Canterbury Cricket staff needs to be able to lead cricket throughout the rest of our province and assist to a greater level the other districts who contribute approximately 45% of our players. A management group was initially appointed to lead the setting up of the CMCA and this team has responded positively by seeking to understand the issues in Christchurch cricket. Members of this team are Kerry Dellaca (Chairman), Matt Harrington, Rick Horsfall, Phil Harris, Bruce Findlay, Roger Georgieff and Ashley Taggart who were selected by an appointment panel of Gary Saunders and Brian Adams. This team will continue to operate as the CMCA Board. I would like to express my thanks to this group for the outstanding work they have done in progressing this exciting structural change. Club cricket is, of course, the heart of our game and the level at which the majority of our cricketers enjoy our sport. Congratulations to the competition winners throughout the Canterbury region. # strategic goal 4 Canterbury is the most successful province in inter provincial competition and in developing quality NZ representatives ranked in the top 20 in ICC rankings Representative Teams Following their very consistent 2010/2011 season, the Wizards had an inconsistent season. The run of injuries, combined with more players selected for international 36

39 ADMINISTRATION duty, placed a strain on the playing resources at this level. However, this situation also provided the opportunity for many of the talented players on the fringe to experience first class cricket. The Wizards management team of Bob Carter, Michael Sharpe, Neil Tyndall and Peter Fulton, supported by Blair Jarrett and the medical staff guided the team admirably this season. The Wizards had an excellent HRV Cup campaign clearly standing out as one of the two best teams in the competition alongside the Auckland Aces. After defeating the table-topping Aces in the pre-final match, the Aces were too good in the final at Colin Maiden Park. We had three of the top ten run scorers in the competition: Rob Nicol, George Worker and Peter Fulton. We also had five of the top eight strike rates in the competition. Rob Nicol was the third highest wicket taker in the HRV Cup. The Wizards made the finals series of the Ford Trophy but lost in a low scoring elimination final to the Otago Volts in Dunedin. Tom Latham and George Worker were two of only six batsmen in the country who scored over 300 runs in this competition and Matt Henry was one of only 7 bowlers in the country who captured more than ten wickets. The Plunket Shield was disappointing from a results perspective. The team actually gained only three bonus points less than the winners but the inability to secure outright victories was costly in the end. George Worker was the second highest run scorer in the competition and Willie Lonsdale finished fourth on the wicket-taking list. A large number of players were used but the promising aspect is that the average age of the Plunket Shield and Ford Trophy sides was 23 with 20 of the 24 players used coming through Canterbury Cricket s development pathways. This clearly shows that our development programmes are working and that this, combined with careful and selective recruitment of other players, is critical to our future success. I would like to once again thank the selection panel of Bob Carter, Paul Wiseman and Stu McCullum for their efforts this season. The average age of our side is testament to the selection panel s willingness to elevate players to first class level based on ability and potential irrespective of age or experience. Dean Brownlie, Rob Nicol, Reece Young (twice) scored centuries and George Worker and Tom Latham scored their maiden first class hundreds. Matt Henry, Logan van Beek and Willie Lonsdale join them on the honours boards with five wicket bags. I would like to thank Brian Spear who does an outstanding job managing the majority of our home matches and looking after our visiting teams. Brian meets all the visiting teams at the airport and ensures our matches run like clockwork. MainPower Oval hosted the majority of our home matches this season and the groundstaff and administration team at the ground, with Canterbury Country Cricket, deserve a lot of credit for preparing an outstanding cricket venue as a home away from home for us. The Robbies Bar & Bistro Magicians were led exceptionally well by Steve Cunis and Amy Satterthwaite and the team, once again, had an outstanding season. In the Action Cricket Cup the team won 5 out of 5 matches and finished 8 points clear of Auckland. We had the two top run scorers in Frankie Mackay and Amy Satterthwaite with both scoring 100 runs plus more than the third highest run getter. Amy scored her first hundred which is a significant milestone. The Magicians also had the three top wicket takers in the competition Rachel Candy, Kelly Anderson and Amy Satterthwaite. In the Action Cricket Twenty 20 competition the team won 9 matches out of 9 played and finished 8 points clear of Auckland. Rachel Candy was also the highest wicket taker in this competition. We were not at our best in the one day final and a wonderful knock from the Auckland overseas player won the match for the Auckland Hearts. The team bounced back and comprehensively defeated the Hearts in the T20 final the next day. Thank you to Robbies and the Southern Trust for your support of this team that has continued what is probably the most successful sporting domination in New Zealand. Almost as this goes to print we will be announcing a replacement for Bob Carter. Bob has performed a tireless role as Wizards Head Coach and has improved dramatically the culture of the side and the transition into the team of some of our outstanding young cricketers. During his tenure we have seen Canterbury players don the silver fern once again and be awarded with central contracts. Bob leaves us to work with the BLACKCAPS at international level and I wish him every success. # strategic goal 5 Grow the financial resources for investment in Canterbury Cricket In a challenging year the financial result is pleasing. We have a strategic goal of accumulating $500,000 in cash 37

40 ADMINISTRATION reserves and we have achieved this goal. Many of our clubs and districts are still struggling and the short term financial future for cricket in New Zealand will be a challenging time especially the next financial year. The accumulation of these cash reserves will enable us to partially absorb any financial impacts in the short term and start to invest in our game. Special thanks go to Kerry Dellaca and Joy Reddiford from the New Zealand Cricket finance team who handled our accounts so efficiently. Their contributions are always highly-valued and they have been very much part of the team at Canterbury Cricket. # strategic goal 6 Ensure first class governance and management of Canterbury Cricket South Africa vs Canterbury One of the highlights of this season was obviously the hosting of a South Africa versus Wizards T20 match at Hagley Oval. This was a resounding success. Four and a half thousand people attended the game with 4,300 of these pre-purchasing their tickets. We hosted over 900 corporate guests and we managed to achieve our budget of a small surplus. This match showcased Hagley Oval as a venue befitting international matches with some modification and enhancement required. I would like to thank Mark Cini, Clare McAlpine and Libby Aberhart for their sterling efforts in making this match a success. Stakeholder Survey A stakeholder survey was undertaken on our behalf by Sport NZ. The results of this survey clearly identified areas of strength and development that we will incorporate into our strategic and operating plans. The survey will also provide a benchmark for assessing our performance in the years to come. Strategic Plan With the term of our current strategic plan expiring, the process for the development of a new plan spanning the years was implemented. Written feedback was received by our stakeholders and a workshop facilitated to assist in this process. There were also a number of staff workshops and Board briefings and discussions. The result will be a succinct, challenging and measurable strategic plan that is also adaptable to cater for the fluidity of our environment. I would like to thank all those who contributed to this process. Organisational Review Alongside the strategic plan development, the organisational structure of Canterbury Cricket was also reviewed. This was undertaken to align with the strategic plan to enable us to achieve our strategic objectives and take advantage of any opportunities to grow our sport within cricket s changing environment. Cricket is in a state of great change: holds in terms of generating income is starting to be challenged. The success of T20 leagues throughout the world requires a different perspective to be taken of both the international and domestic game growth in the Asian sub-continent is continuing to increase possibility trusts and NZC The organisational structure was approved by the CCA Board with immediate implementation. The revised structure has been developed to ensure that we provide effective focus and resourcing of both the amateur and professional game. Although they need to be separated structurally with clear accountability in each area they will remain inextricably linked. One cannot perform without the other. Sponsors and Supporters Canterbury Cricket is fortunate to receive the support of a strong network of committed sponsors who help Canterbury Cricket enormously. Although they are listed elsewhere in the Annual Report I would like to make special mention of them as they enable us to provide opportunities for our cricketers across all areas of our game. Our sponsors are: 38

The contribution of all sponsors is critical to Canterbury Cricket and we sincerely thank you all for your willingness to be involved. I would also like to thank the following funding agencies and trusts for their support of our amateur cricket operation: Air Rescue & Community services NZCT Lion Foundation Southern Trust Mainland Foundation Pub Charity Pelorus Trust Canterbury Community Trust Volunteers The continued commitment of countless volunteers is astounding. Our clubs, schools and districts would be far worse off without your involvement and commitment thank you. Our deepest thanks to you all, and in particular may I acknowledge the Directors on the Board of Canterbury Cricket (led by Chairman Cran Bull) and the numerous advisory group members. Staff May I finally thank our staff for their dedication and effort. The effectiveness of our staff was highlighted by the stakeholder survey result and the quality of relationships our staff have with our stakeholders is very high. Libby Aberhart, our Marketing Executive, moved on during the year. I would like to thank Libby for her commitment and high quality of work and wish her all the best for her future career aspirations. Mark Cini was contracted as our Commercial and Marketing Manager and he will bring a wealth of experience and passion to the role. Once again, thank you to my outstanding Senior Leadership Team consisting of Trudy Anderson, Richard Hayward, Mike Harvey and Bob Carter. They lead, support and provide expertise that positions our Leadership Team as one of the most capable in the country. I wish Mike success in his new role as General Manager, Christchurch Metropolitan Cricket. I look forward to another season and the continuation of the achievement of our strategic goals. Lee Germon CEO 39

42 ADMINISTRATION Operations Overview 2011/2012 was a challenging season. With reduced options for venues, Canterbury Cricket was fortunate to have time over the 2011 winter to prepare for a playing programme which would require increased travel for home fixtures. Owing to the unavailability of the Village Green, QEII as a result of earthquake damage, our Canterbury domestic teams were forced to play the bulk of their matches outside the Christchurch metropolitan area. This proved logistically challenging, and at times expensive. However, to the credit of all concerned, the matches were played without incident with a high level of match support offered by the hosts. Increased ground attendances reflected the Canterbury public s desire to see high quality cricket remain in the region. The highlight of the 2011/2012 season was undoubtedly the Canterbury vs. South Africa match played in February on Hagley Oval. With the Canterbury public starved of international cricket it was a great gesture by the South Africans to agree to play the Canterbury Wizards. An estimated 3500 people turned up to enjoy the occasion embracing the atmosphere created on the Oval. The match proved to be a very successful event, show-casing what we can achieve with appropriate resourcing. The liaison between the Christchurch City Council, Marketing Sport NZ and Canterbury Cricket allowed us to create a event of which we can all be proud. It was great to see kids back on the ground during the innings break, faces painted, emulating those they had seen in action. A special mention must be made of the head groundsman, Tom O Carroll, and his team for their contribution to this match. Representative The Canterbury Wizards performed well in the HRV Cup Twenty20 competition, and convincingly beat Auckland in the penultimate round to book a place in the final. Unfortunately in the HRV Final match the Canterbury batting failed to fire and Auckland won the match. After winning the Plunket Shield the previous season, Canterbury Wizards were able to secure only one win in the 2011/12 season. While they scored well in the batting and bowling bonus points departments, the lack of wins proved costly and they finished at the wrong end of the points table. In 40 the Ford Trophy One day competition the Wizards made the playoffs but had to settle for 4th placing overall. The Magicians qualified top in both the Action Cricket Twenty20 and Action Cricket Cup competitions. In the Action Twenty20 round robin matches they were unbeaten in 10 rounds with 9 wins and 1 abandoned match. Their Finals opponent for both competitions were the Auckland Hearts. On the Saturday Cup final the Magicians were undone by a strong batting display from the Heart s overseas player who scored 100 at good pace to set up the victory. In the Sunday Twenty20 final the Canterbury girls, after posting a modest 113, provided an excellent fielding display for the crowd and, led by Amy Satterthwaite (4-14), they avenged the previous day s result taking out the match with a 29 run victory. The three Canterbury National teams (Canterbury A, Under 18 Boys and Under 21 Women s), performed below expectations at their respective tournaments, however changes have already been implemented to rectify this for the upcoming season. Canterbury A also played a threeday and a 50-over match at the end of the season against a visiting Tasmanian side. The value of these matches was such that Tasmania has agreed to return in 2012/2013 and we are hopeful of these fixtures placing permanently in our calendar. Junior Representative For the 2012/2013 season it was agreed that four of the five Regional Age Group Representative Tournaments would be held in centralised venues with tournament, travel and accommodation costs equalised. The intent of this move was to minimise costs to all participants whilst ensuring the quality of these tournament was not compromised. Tournaments were hosted by Canterbury Cricket (Under 18 and Year 9 Boys ) and Canterbury Country (Under 16 Boys and Secondary Schoolgirls ). As a new initiative, the use of i-pads for scoring was introduced at these tournaments. This proved very popular with the players, who took an active interest in the technology, and with parents, who were able to follow the progress of the matches on-line. It is hoped this feature can be further developed for tournaments and matches in the upcoming season. Tri-series and Quad series matches were again played following the boys regional tournaments, providing additional playing opportunities for the boys in January. At Canterbury level, the Under 16 A Boys team played matches against Wellington Under 16 in Wellington while the Under 16 B side played Otago Under 16 in Dunedin.

43 ADMINISTRATION The Canterbury Year 9 Boys and Secondary Schoolgirls also played Wellington away in January. The Canterbury Secondary Schoolboys travelled to Auckland in April to participate in the Frank Grattan Cup. Two Canterbury Under 15 Girls teams were selected. The A Team travelled to Wanganui to participate in in the 2012 Wanganui Cricket festival while the B team played Otago in Dunedin. Personnel Brian Spear, Canterbury Cricket s Senior Representative Match Manager, managed all of the Canterbury Wizards matches in the region plus a number of the Magicians matches. These included the double-header at Hagley on February 15 featuring the Magicians playing the Auckland Hearts in the Action Twenty20 final and the Wizards vs. Wellington Firebirds. Brian is an excellent ambassador for Canterbury Cricket and has a comprehensive understanding of the role of match manager. His knowledge of the playing conditions is unsurpassed and his relationship with all involved ensures the matches run seamlessly. As always, I am indebted to him for his professionalism, hard work and support. We are also appreciative of the efforts of Magicians match managers, Paul Case and Selena Charteris, and Year 9 Tournament Manager, Glenn Hooper, for their management of fixtures and tournaments throughout the season. The Code of Conduct Commissioners had a very quiet season with no representative Code of Conduct hearings required. This supports the trend from the previous season and it reflects our desire for players to play a pro-active role in determining the spirit in which each match is played. Canterbury Cricket would sincerely like to thank Lee Robinson and his group of Canterbury commissioners. These gentlemen offer their time willingly to assist us in ensuring that cricket is played not only within the rules of the game, but also within the Spirit of the Game. The Canterbury Regional Umpires were asked to provide umpires for approximately 90 playing days including underage, Hawke Cup and pre-season fixtures. My sincere thanks go to the Umpires Manager, Roger Wyeth, who assisted with coordinating the local appointments, and to all the umpires who stood in these matches. It is a tough task, often thankless, but certainly necessary. The demands for representative scorers were reduced this season with NZ Cricket assuming responsibility for the domestic appointments, however our thanks also go to all those representative scorers who assisted at other matches throughout the course of the season. Canterbury Cricket also acknowledges the services provided by the huge numbers of suppliers, volunteers, parents, officials and club administrators who provide match, administrative or simply parental support to the players in our region. Without you all, cricket simply would not function as effectively as it does. Facilities and Venues In the 2011/2012 season over 30 playing-days of cricket were scheduled for Mainpower Oval, Rangiora. Head groundsman Jeff Kerr and his team are to be commended for the work they did on both the playing and practice surfaces to accommodate this increased demand. In Timaru, South Canterbury hosted a Ford Trophy and a HRV match at Aorangi Oval. Special thanks to the groundsman Mike Davies for his efforts in pitch preparation for these and a number of other matches at this venue. At underage level, matches were played at Ilam Fields and school and club grounds including St Andrew s College, Burnside Park, Burwood Park, Hagley Oval and Redwood Park. We are indebted to all the ground staff at all these venues. All of these grounds were supported through the Canterbury Cricket pitch renovation programme made possible with funding support from Pub Charity. This programme aimed to support clubs and ground staff through the provision of consistent quality pitch renovations. Conclusion Despite the lack of a permanent home for cricket in Canterbury, I believe we continue to provide a positive environment for the future generations of cricketers. Our internal and external relationships are strong, and our programmes and belief in what we are doing are solid. It is an exciting time to be involved in cricket with the potential to create a world-class test venue in Christchurch which will enhance not only the game, but also the city, for years to come. Canterbury Cricket is fortunate to have such a dedicated and hard-working staff. While my personal and sincere thanks go to Mike Fisher, Helen Anderson and Meg Kendal from the Operations Department, I would also like to acknowledge the support of the other Canterbury Cricket staff, Christchurch clubs and Canterbury Districts who have contributed to the development and provision of cricket throughout the region. Trudy Anderson Operations Manager 41

44 ADMINISTRATION Development Canterbury Cricket can be proud of the way it has responded to the numerous challenges over the past season. Christchurch has bounced back from its major earthquakes and cricket has managed to play a role in people getting their lives back on track. A huge amount of work was put into getting grounds and facilities back to a usable standard and through partnerships with Canterbury Cricket, Christchurch Junior Cricket and Sport Canterbury we were able to implement several initiatives that helped cricket return to its pre earthquake state. The Districts have also played their part. Canterbury Country have offered grounds to those who could not play in Christchurch and all Districts experienced temporary and permanent growth as people spread out over the region following changes in family and housing circumstances. Districts The Canterbury Districts play a key role within our province. Just under 50% of players in Canterbury play in the districts, a figure which is continually creeping up. We are asking more of the Districts every season and they respond in a positive way. My thanks to Michael Sheat from Canterbury Country, Andrew Duncan from Buller and Richard Pithey from Mid Canterbury for their ongoing support. We have also welcomed James Watson into the Canterbury Country/ West Coast development position and Shane Gilkison into the South Canterbury development position. Both have made an immediate impact in their regions. Big thanks also to former Canterbury Country development manager Blair Franklin and South Canterbury development Manager Richard Davidson, who both moved on during the season. They undertook long and loyal service for their regions and Canterbury Cricket and we thank them for their efforts. Christchurch Youth Cricket Paul O Brien completed his second season as Youth Cricket Manager for Christchurch and continued to impart a great deal of energy to the position. Paul has introduced several new initiatives to the Youth game in Christchurch including: The metro trial series, which is a series of Sunday fixture where players can attempt to achieve selection into Christchurch regional teams. This replaces the old net trial systems The post-christmas festival of Cricket, once again played on Sundays for Year 9 and year 10 boys, giving 42 them an additional opportunity to play cricket in a well organised and structured way. Twenty20 is played here. The improvement of the Christchurch winter training programme for youth males and females, including a new online registration system, new technique analysis technology and more flexibility for players Funding support for cricketing schools who undertake Year 9 camps to introduce new students to the cricket programmes Funding and administration support for the South West and North West cricket clubs, who have been established to allow club/school partnerships resulting in improved playing opportunities and better links to clubs for school leavers Funding support to schools who wish to introduce modified cricket formats at lunch times or during PE lessons, aimed at players who are normally not playing traditional cricket Overseeing the summer representative programme for the eleven Christchurch underage teams, ensuring a high quality service is in place for the players and parents I would like to thank Paul for his continued valuable contribution to the Youth Cricket programmes in Christchurch. Premier Club Direct Funding For the second season, the eight Premier Clubs were funded to carry out development programmes within their own communities. With a season of experience under their belts each club was able to deliver a high quality programme within their catchment area. This model enables a much closer relationship to develop between schools and clubs, which have been beneficial to all parties involved. Have-A-Go and Kiwi Centres During the 2011/12 season, just over 3000 children were involved across 85 Have-A-Go and Kiwi centres in Canterbury. Both of these numbers are records. It is pleasing to note the support of clubs and schools in running these programmes, which are critical to the skill development of first time players. I would like to thank the Canterbury Districts, who have pushed the programmes to new players.

45 ADMINISTRATION Kiwisport A large part of the continued growth of the game was due to a partnership between Sport Canterbury, Canterbury Cricket and the Districts, to introduce the Kiwi Cricket fundamental skills programme to 30 schools and 1500 children during the summer. An eight week programme was put in place, with cricket drills and skills completed by the children each week. NZC Cup and MILO Shield The 2011 competitions ran smoothly and the majority of schools enjoyed the change to a Twenty20 format. This has enabled greater flexibility with draws and resulted in numerous tournament-style events now being played around the region, as opposed to the previous knockout fixtures. Congratulations to Ellesmere College who were the top boys team in the South Island. They were joined at the National finals by Heaton. Well done also to the Heaton girls who qualified for the National finals. Action Cricket Trophy and Action Cricket League Quikhit We would like to thank Action Indoor Sports for sponsoring these competitions this summer. Team numbers in this season s Action Cricket Trophy were 80, with 26 teams playing in the Action Cricket League Quikhit The enthusiasm for these competitions continues to be strong, and they provide a cricket focus within the schools during the first and fourth terms. Well done to the Waimairi primary school team, who won the Action Cricket Trophy Red section for the first time. They were an excellent all round side, coached by Martin Lukes. Beckenham School won the Black section for the third season in a row. Matt Henry presents the trophy to the Waimairi School Captain The victorious St Albans School girls team School Visits Throughout the season across Canterbury, 19,000 children were involved in the school visits programme. Visits are carried out by a dedicated team of Summer Squad coaches. Coaches typically take class groups for 45 minute coaching sessions where they deliver skill introduction and game sessions while promoting registrations to the local club. We have developed a link with the Christchurch College of Education, whereby student interns from the Bachelor of Sport Coaching assist with the delivery of lessons. Holiday Clinics Canterbury Cricket s holiday clinics continue to run in all school holidays throughout the year. Elite Skills Clinics provide greater depth by offering specialist skills programmes to those ten years and older. General clinics cater for all ages and abilities, while Kidsfest is run in the winter holidays for new players. Over 700 players were involved during the season in our holiday clinics. A Girls Only Clinic was completed at Lincoln University. Lincoln Scholarships Our partnership with Lincoln University continues to grow and prosper, providing educational opportunities for the association s promising young players. The programme has now been in place for 14 years. In a recent change to the programme, out of town students must be available for selection for Canterbury representative teams. The focus has changed over the last couple of seasons in that the standard of the player, in a sporting and academic sense, has risen. Craig Kerr has continued his role of scholarship coach, working with the players throughout the winter months. 43

There have been opportunities for all players to continue playing the game they love, thanks to all the hard work that has gone in behind the scenes Looking to the future, Canterbury Cricket is in the process of reviewing its Strategic goals for the next three years. Development plays a key part in the continued health of the game and we would urge stakeholders to support the direction Canterbury Cricket takes. You will all have your chance to provide feedback into the plan, which once confirmed will set the framework for our activity over the coming seasons. Mike Harvey Development Manager 44

47 ADMINISTRATION Junior Player Development Junior Boys Academy The Canterbury Junior Boys Academy programme provides expert support for identified talented cricketers who are Under 18 or below. The boys receive coaching, and additional resources, throughout the winter and summer months, and are overseen by the Junior Player Development Manager (JPDM). One of the main criteria in the selection process is that the players have the potential to develop into first class cricketers. Thank you to John Quinn (Mental Skills) and Neil Tyndall (Fitness) for their involvement in the programme, and to Bob Carter, Denis Aberhart and Craig McMillan for expert coaching support. I m sure the group have benefitted significantly from your time and experience. Congratulations to the following players who have been named into the Junior Boys Academy: Anty Burnett (Christchurch Boys High School), Morgan Jeffrey (Christchurch Boys High School), Tom Taylor (Christchurch Boys High School, Bailen Thatcher (Christ s College), Jack Boyle (St Bede s College), Taylor Irie (St Bede s College). Talent Identification + Succession Planning It is important to regularly assess and gauge the talent coming through our development programmes and to monitor the overall health of the various disciplines. The JPDM observes games on Saturdays (mostly 1 st XI) and attends all underage representative tournaments where possible. When not involved with coaching duties the JPDM acts as a selector. Observations and comments from other coaches feed into the succession planning document which the JPDM co-ordinates. The document lists identified cricketers from all of Canterbury, by skill-set, from Year 9 through to the Wizards. This document is updated twice a year by the High Performance staff at Canterbury Cricket. It is of considerable value when looking at relative areas of strength and weakness across all age-groups, and in forecasting future trends. Additional resources can then be directed as deemed appropriate. The ultimate goal is to achieve depth in all areas, and increase the talent pool of potential first-class cricketers as they move through the player pathway. Districts Over the course of the previous year the JPDM has visited South Canterbury and Mid Canterbury to assist with coaching programmes and winter training. This exercise has proved worthwhile in further identifying cricketers from around the region, and assisting coaches in these areas. Information gathered on these visits feeds into the succession planning document, and provides additional interaction with talented district players outside of Regional tournaments. Thanks to Paul Wiseman and Bob Carter who have been involved with some of these visits. Player Reporting System Team coaches are required to complete reports on players from all representative tournaments. These reports are collated by the JPDM and distributed to the player so they receive feedback on strengths and areas for development. A copy is also sent to the player s school/club coach so that they are able to work together to address any aspects of their game. A player who is involved in representative tournaments over the years will therefore build up an archive of information, which can be valuable for future coaches of the player. Canterbury Cricket is continually refining this process with the view to including video footage of the player in action. The advent of recent technologies is making it easier to achieve user-friendly file sharing of such information. Future focus is to further develop the capabilities to seamlessly distribute information to players immediately following a tournament or match, providing coaches and players with information instantly. Winter Training The popular Canterbury Cricket Winter Training Programme continues to grow and is a massive undertaking every year. With in excess of 400 boys and girls being involved (from Year 6 to Under 19) it takes considerable time and resource to co-ordinate and deliver. The JPDM is part of a team involved in running and administering Winter Training and is chiefly responsible for prescribing the curriculum across the various age groups. The JPDM also coaches several squads, particularly from Under 16-Under 19. Pace Development Programme A group of the provinces up and coming underage pace bowlers was assembled and trained under the expert guidance of pace bowling specialist coaches Denis Aberhart and Garfield Charles. The group met throughout the season to work on technique and further develop their craft, receiving invaluable tips and knowledge from the expert coaches. The group was: Nathan Shaw (North West Youth Cricket), James Tucker (St Bede s), Henry Shipley (St. Andrew s), James Tapper (Canterbury Country), William Williams (Canterbury Country), Morgan Jeffery (Christchurch Boys High), Andrew Hazeldine (St. Andrew s), Bailen Thatcher (Christ s College), Mitchell Gardner (North West Youth Cricket), Braden Gardner (Sydenham). 45

48 ADMINISTRATION Secondary School Pace Bowling Loading Programme This initiative was introduced to raise awareness around early season injuries, and relatively high incidences of stress related injuries in Secondary School age pace bowlers. Presentations were made to various Secondary Schools highlighting core strength and providing education around loading principles. Recommendations included a longer, more graduated, build-up to the start of the season and bowlers to take ownership of bowling loads, applying sensible progression and identifying periods of high volume in the season. Thanks to Blair Jarrett (Wizards physio) and Neil Tyndall (Strength and Conditioning Coach) for their professional advice. School of Cricket The aim of this exciting new initiative is to provide a structured skill development programme to develop young cricketers across a broad range of disciplines necessary to assist with maximizing their playing potential. The programme is run over 16 two-hour sessions in the winter and utilizes some of Canterbury s best coaches. An overwhelming 42 applications were received for the 24 available places on the first intake. In addition to expert coaching each player receives video analysis and a written report completed by the JPDM. There looks to be merit in expanding this programme in the future. Summary It has been another exciting year working in the area of player development. Significant strides have been made in improving our systems that help our young players maximize their potential. It is always rewarding working with the province s stars of the future. Many thanks to all those who have assisted in the development of the many passionate up and coming cricketers in Canterbury. Andrew Reid Junior Player Development Manager 46

49 ADMINISTRATION High Performance and Coaching HIGH PERFORMANCE STAFF High Performance and Coaching Director Network Coach Strength and Conditioning Coach CoachForce Manager Junior Player Development Manager Richard Hayward Paul Wiseman Neil Tyndall Nigel Marsh Andrew Reid I am grateful to the following coaches who have assisted with our High Performance Coaching Programme either through the winter training programme or at the various age group representative tournaments: Denis Aberhart Hayley Aburn Keryn Ambler Janet Brehaut Rachel Candy Bob Carter Garfield Charles Steve Cunis Brendon Donkers Andrew Duncan Robbie Frew Peter Fulton Lee Germon Mandie Godliman Glenn Hooper Kenji Irie Mike Johnston April Kerr Craig Kerr Tom Latham Warren Lidstone Willie Lonsdale Nev Lyons Frances Mackay Rowan Milburn Dave Miles Paul O Brien Michael Parlane Richard Pithey Ben Rapson Alex Reese Mark Reid Chris Rowe Michael Sheat Abhimanyu Shrikhande Logan van Beek Dan Vann Highlights of the Season The highlights from the season from a high performance perspective were: The Canterbury Magicians won the Action Twenty20 Trophy and reached the final of the Action Cricket Cup The Canterbury Wizards reached the final of the HRV Cup Twenty20 The Canterbury Under 20 team reached the final of the local 50 over senior club competition Henry Nicholls selected for the New Zealand Player to Lord s scholarship The Canterbury Secondary Schoolboys team was runner up in the Frank Grattan Cup Representative Honours The following Canterbury players are to be congratulated on their selection for New Zealand teams in : BlackCaps: Dean Brownlie, Rob Nicol, Andrew Ellis, Tom Latham White Ferns: Amy Satterthwaite, Frances Mackay, Lea Tahuhu, Rachel Candy New Zealand Emerging Players: Janet Brehaut, Hayley Jensen, Meg Kendall, Lea Tahuhu, Erin Bermingham New Zealand Under 19s for Under 19 World Cup: Edward Nuttall, Michael Davidson, Theo van Woerkom, Ananthan Yugaraja 47

50 ADMINISTRATION Canterbury Wizards Having won the Plunket Shield in the season, there was an expectation that more trophies would be forthcoming in the near future. Unfortunately this did not materialize in the season although the team did reach the final of the HRV Cup and came close to making the final of the Ford Trophy. The real positive from the season was the selection of several Canterbury players into the New Zealand test, One Day and Twenty20 teams. This provided opportunities for home grown talent to be blooded into the Canterbury team and several young players made their debuts during the season, particularly in the latter part of the season in the Plunket Shield. These players all showed that they will feature strongly in the future of Canterbury cricket and so the outlook is exciting. The players have all progressed through the Canterbury development programmes, notably the Junior Academy and the NZC Development Squad, and have a real passion for the game with excellent work ethics. Canterbury Magicians The Canterbury Magicians enjoyed another outstanding season in both forms of the game. The team won 14 out of 15 completed games during the round robin phases in both the 20 and 50-over versions before comfortably winning the Action Cricket Twenty20 trophy but losing in the Action Cup final. Several players were rewarded for their performances during the season with selection into the White Ferns teams. With a number of talented youngsters being introduced to the squad and the prospect of most of the current experienced players being available for the foreseeable future, there is an expectation that the Canterbury Magicians will continue to perform with distinction and win trophies over the next few years. Special mention should be made of the Canterbury Magicians coach, Steve Cunis, who has contributed hugely to the success of the team. In the four seasons that Steve has been in charge the team has won four trophies and a number of Canterbury players have played for New Zealand. Unfortunately Steve is now living in Northland and is unable to continue in the coaching role. We are indebted to Steve for his efforts, passion and commitment. Canterbury A The A team programme consisted of a variety of games against Otago and the National A tournament at Lincoln in January. The Canterbury A team was very young with the majority of players used being under 23 years of age. 48 A large number of players were exposed to this level of cricket during the season and, whilst the team finished fourth at the national tournament, valuable experience was gained by several players who were later selected for the Canterbury Wizards. The National A team tournament is viewed by Canterbury as primarily a development tournament on the pathway to first class cricket. Canterbury Women s Under 21 The National Under 21 tournament proved to be disappointing for Canterbury. The team finished fourth despite having a number of talented players in the squad. The more experienced players failed to lead the way and the results, individually and as a team, were not up to the expected levels. On a positive note, the team was relatively young and will have gained significant experience through the tournament which we expect will lead to a vastly improved performance next season. Age Group Representative Cricket CANTERBURY UNDER 18 The Under 18 team finished fourth at the National tournament having been in a position to challenge for the title, lying only a win away from the lead going into the final three matches which were all Twenty20 games. Unfortunately the team played poorly and lost all three games having earlier won one of the two 2-day matches and three of the five 50-over matches. Injuries plagued the team leading into the tournament. Glen Drake missed the whole tournament and potential match-winning players James Tucker and Kenny McClure were injured at key times during the tournament and missed a number of matches between them. CANTERBURY UNDER 20 This was the second season that the Canterbury Under 20 team competed in the local One Day competition prior to Christmas. This competition provides a tough level of cricket particularly for those players who are still playing, or have just finished playing, school cricket. With the Under 20 s team having won the competition the previous season the opposition knew not to underestimate this young team. However, they played excellent cricket and thoroughly earned a place in the final. Unfortunately they saved their worst performance until last and were well beaten. Several of this team were selected to play for the Canterbury Wizards later in the season.

51 ADMINISTRATION National School/Club Tournaments The following teams are congratulated on fine performances at national tournaments during the season: Christchurch Girls HS: winners for the second year running of the New Zealand Community Trust tournament St. Albans: runners up at the National Club Championship Christ s College: runners up at the Gillette Cup Canterbury Masters: runners up at the Masters National Tournament New Zealand Cricket Development Squad The NZC Development Programme, instigated by John Wright, has been an excellent initiative. The programme consists of 1 to 1 coaching sessions for young elite players. These players have been identified by the New Zealand Cricket and Canterbury age group selectors at the Under 18 National Tournament as having the potential and attitude to progress to international level. From last season s squad, Henry Nicholls has now been elevated to the extended Canterbury Wizards squad. The Canterbury players who have been selected in the new squad that will train under the watchful eye of the Canterbury Cricket Network Coach, Paul Wiseman, from May 2012 to April 2013 are: Ken McClure, Cole McConchie, Edward Nuttall, William Williams, Theo van Woerkom, Arnie Yugaraja, Michael Davidson, Leo Carter, Freddy Anderson and James Tucker. Exchange Scholarships The season was the third year of our player exchange programme with the Durham County Cricket Club in England. Graham Clarke came to Christchurch from Durham. Graham is a promising young batsman who ended up being the third leading run scorer for Sydenham and also played for the Canterbury Under 20 and A teams. Henry Nicholls joined the Durham staff for the 2011 New Zealand winter and enjoyed a highly successful season for Durham 2 nd XI, the Durham Academy and in the North East Premier League. Henry followed Tom Latham as the exchange player to Durham and continued the high standards in terms of run scoring that Tom had set the previous season. Both Tom and Henry have been excellent ambassadors for Canterbury Cricket. Cole McConchie is the recipient of this winter s scholarship to Durham. Canterbury Cricket has also, in recent years, arranged an exchange with Horsham in Sussex but unfortunately Horsham were unable to send a player to Christchurch last summer. Matt Henry produced some excellent results for Horsham in the Sussex Cricket League. Winter Training Programmer As a direct impact of the earthquakes, the 2011 winter training programme was attended by smaller numbers than usual. However, this winter the popularity of the programme has returned with in excess of 400 boys and girls in 24 groups, ranging from Year 6 to Under 20, attending in total 182 training sessions. These players have been training on a fortnightly basis at the new Community Cricket Training Centre at Action Indoor sports, Hornby. Pace Bowling Development Programme This programme, in its fourth year of operation, provides specialist guidance for our most promising young pace bowlers. A selected group trains over winter and summer under the expert eyes of experienced coaches Denis Aberhart and Garfield Charles from a technical perspective, whilst Blair Jarratt, the Canterbury Wizards physiotherapist, monitors the players physical development through screening. This ensures our next battery of fast bowlers is focusing on correct training programmes and techniques. Canterbury Junior Academies The boys junior academy has been in operation since 2006 and the girls academy since 2008 and, over the years, several of the academy players have progressed on to represent Canterbury at first class level: Corey Anderson, Marty Kain, Logan van Beek, Tom Latham, Matt McEwan, Matt Henry, Tim Johnston, Steve Smidt, Hayley Jensen, Erin Bermingham, Jacinta Savage and Hana Mauafu. Canterbury School of Cricket The Canterbury School of Cricket is a new initiative launched in May This is the first of its type in New Zealand. The school is open to boys from Year 9 to 11 and all girls at secondary school. In the first year the intake has been limited to 24 players (20 boys and 4 girls). It was pleasing to report that the school was over-subscribed and consideration is already being given to running two schools next year. The aim of the school is to provide a structured skill development programme to ensure that our young cricketers are exposed to a broad range of disciplines necessary to assist with maximizing their playing potential. The school runs for 16 weeks on a Sunday morning in the Community Cricket Training Centre and involves eight of our leading coaches, headed by Junior Player Development Manager, Andrew Reid. 49

52 ADMINISTRATION Canterbury Coach Academy Another initiative this year was the formation of the Canterbury Cricket Coach Academy, the first coach academy in New Zealand. This is designed to provide some of our most talented, motivated and aspiring coaches with learning and development opportunities. Three young coaches, Alex Reese, Abhi Shrikhande and Dan Gread were the first coaches to be invited to become part of the Coach Academy. They will take leading coaching roles in the summer and winter programmes run by Canterbury Cricket and will be mentored by Nigel Marsh, the Canterbury Cricket CoachForce Manager. The coaches will also be trained in the use of the latest technology available such as Silicon Coach, PitchVision and ipads. These coaches will also have opportunities to observe Canterbury Cricket s most experienced coaches in action as well as leading coaches from other sporting codes. Thanks My thanks go to my High Performance staff who have all played significant roles in continuing to raise the bar in developing the High Performance programme that continues to help players and coaches maximize their potential each year. Thanks also to the Operations Department at Canterbury Cricket who have provided excellent match management and organization of games throughout the season. And lastly, thanks to all the parents, coaches, selectors, managers and volunteers who help in their own way to support cricket in Canterbury. We really appreciate your efforts, particularly in the present challenging environment. Richard Hayward High Performance and Coaching Director 50

53 ADMINISTRATION CoachForce Launch of the Coach Academy Increase in coaching courses in the Districts Three Coach workshops and a Coach Conference Coaching Courses In an effort to increase the number of coaches in the Canterbury districts the CoachForce Manager spent a significant amount of time in the Districts presenting courses. Consequently more courses were run in the districts than ever before. Level I courses were run in Rangiora and Timaru as well as a Coaching a Cricket Team course in Ashburton. A total of 22 courses were run in Canterbury and 249 coaches were trained during the year. Thirteen coaches attended the Level II Course during the 2012 winter. Level I coaches received their certificates at a special ceremony in April while the 2011 Level II coaches received their certificates at the Canterbury Cricket Annual Prizegiving evening in April Canterbury Cricket is grateful to the Christchurch Junior Cricket Association for providing funding for the payment of relief teachers to allow fifteen primary school teachers to attend a coaching day run by the CoachForce Manager in September This will be repeated prior to the season. Coach Academy Three coaches have been accepted into the inaugural Canterbury Cricket Coach Academy. This is the only coach academy in New Zealand where highly promising coaches will receive development opportunities and experiences. These coaches will be offered coaching roles within the Canterbury Cricket summer and winter programmes. They will be mentored by the CoachForce Manager and they will also observe some of Canterbury Cricket s leading coaches in action as well as coaches from other codes to assist with their development. The game of cricket is developing rapidly so it is important that our coaches are at the forefront of new technology and trends in coaching. It is our intention that there will be more coaches involved with the Coach Academy in the future. Coaching Workshops Three Coach Workshops were run during the course of the year. Daniel Gucciardi from the University of Queensland presented a workshop on mental toughness. Ian Healy, who came out to Christchurch to attend The Willows Dinner, spent a highly valuable afternoon with our coaches talking about his coaching philosophies. The following day he ran a clinic for a group of promising youth wicketkeepers. Lastly, the coaches were invited to a Canterbury U18/U20 practice where they were able to observe Andrew Reid and Paul Wiseman conducting a fielding session. There are also Spin Bowling Workshops planned for September in both Rangiora and Ashburton. Coaching Conference A Coaching Conference will be held for 30 coaches at St Andrew s College on Sunday 26 August. The keynote speaker will be Gary Endacott, son of Frank Endacott. Gary s topic is Inspiring teenagers to maximize their potential. Speakers from Canterbury Cricket will be Lee Germon and Richard Hayward. Brendon Donkers will talk about Running an efficient training session while Alex Reese will share his Indian coaching experiences. There will be an opportunity for coaches to discuss some of the current key issues facing cricket in Canterbury and there will also be an opportunity for coaches to learn some new fielding and fitness drills from the Canterbury Cricket Strength and Conditioning Coach, Neil Tyndall. Coach Mentoring The CoachForce Manager observed coaches whilst they were working with various age group squads at the Community Cricket Training Centre in the winter and provided feedback to assist with their professional development. Purchase of Coaching It is a Canterbury Cricket strategy to ensure that every cricket team has a coach. However we do acknowledge that it will take time to achieve this. To assist where there may be shortfalls Canterbury Cricket provides a free coaching service to clubs and schools during the season. During last season four clubs and schools made use of this opportunity. 51

54 ADMINISTRATION Coaching Clinics The CoachForce Manager ran a number of clinics at clubs during the season. These sessions are designed to give the volunteer coach a few tips and ideas that they can use at their respective training sessions. The clinics are run immediately after the completion of the regular team training sessions. Coaching Opportunities During the 2012 winter there will be 28 winter training groups in action. Each group will have three coaches and the newly formed School of Cricket will be run by four coaches. During the 2011/12 Underage Representative Programme there were Regional tournaments, Tri-Series and National tournaments and at each of these tournaments coaches from around Canterbury gained valuable coaching experience while sharing their knowledge with the young aspiring players. Over sixty coaches were employed at our age group tournaments during the summer. Summary Coach recruitment and development are vitally important parts of Canterbury Cricket. It is widely acknowledged that without a quality coaching structure we will struggle to produce quality cricketers. Canterbury Cricket has developed an extremely professional coaching structure over the last few years and the future looks bright for both players and coaches. Nigel Marsh CoachForce Manager 52

55 ADMINISTRATION Funding Partners Our commitment to foster and grow cricket in the extensive Canterbury region requires substantial ongoing financial support and funding which we are unable to consistently provide without the support of the Canterbury Cricket Family of Funding Partners. Their support of grassroots cricket, coaching and development programmes at many levels ensures we are able to deliver the best possible services for our club, youth and amateur representative players and participants. We acknowledge that, in addition to the support offered to Canterbury Cricket, these groups provide significant financial assistance to the many Districts, clubs and schools across the wider Canterbury region. Of particular interest to those stakeholders of Canterbury Cricket and to any groups receiving funding support from Charitable Trusts will be the outcome of the Gambling (Gambling Harm Reduction) Amendment Bill (the Flavell Bill ). If successful, this bill has significant implications for the way Community Gaming funds will be managed and distributed. Community recipients of Gaming Funds were encouraged to make submissions. It is expected this bill, if adopted could see the dismantling of Charitable Gaming Trusts in their current form. The last 24 months have provided challenging times for all sports, and cricket has been no exception. Damage to clubrooms, grounds and trust venues have impacted in various ways on clubs and players. With most Gaming and Charitable Trusts implementing policies that ensure return of funds to the areas where those funds are generated, having sites in local areas is not always the reality. Many groups are unable to access monies from other funding organisations and it is critical that the relationships and dialogue that Canterbury Cricket has with our funding partners remains open to ensure funding is targeted towards areas of greatest need at all levels of the game. For 2011/2012 we are indebted to the following Trusts: Air Rescue Services Limited As a locally based organisation, Air Rescue Services provided considerable funding support for local underage cricket, club cricket and administrative expenses. A significant component of this funding allows Canterbury Cricket to provide grants to clubs directly thus ensuring clubs take on responsibility for provision of cricket services within their local community. Additional funding for some amateur representative cricket expenses reduces the burden on players and ensures provision of quality equipment to support tournaments and matches. Canterbury Community Trust The Canterbury Community Trust application is targeted towards costs associated with Winter Training and Development Programmes. The support provided enables Canterbury maximum participation at all levels below representative. Lion Foundation The Lion Foundation grant provides funding assistance over two key areas: coaching and administration. Support for coaching includes assistance with salaried positions for those staff responsible for coaching programmes and assistance with expenses associated with providing quality team coaches. Funding assistance for administrative positions is also supported for staff with operational responsibilities within Canterbury Cricket. Mainland Foundation A locally-based Trust, The Mainland Foundation applications are primarily targeted towards metropolitan cricket expenses and support for expenses incurred through umpire development programmes and umpiring at club level. 53

56 ADMINISTRATION New Zealand Community Trust The grant provided by the New Zealand Community Trust (NZCT) is targeted towards key administration costs associated with building lease. This support enables Canterbury Cricket to focus their endeavours solely towards the delivery of cricket. In 2011/12, NZCT also provided partial salary assistance for the Canterbury Cricket Network Coach position. This position guides our next tier of players and assists them with the transition to higher honours. Pub Charity In 2011/12 Pub Charity provided considerable assistance around the area of club grounds renovations. The support of Pub Charity towards our pitch renovation programme has been of great assistance. This has also helped Canterbury Cricket support clubs who are endeavouring to maintain club subscriptions at minimal levels, reducing the financial burden on players while improving the quality of our playing surfaces. The Southern Trust The Southern Trust funding support is linked to women s and girls cricket and to partial salary support for two administrative positions. The Southern Trust is the primary supporter of the Canterbury Magicians and Under 21 Women s teams, with the bulk of the funding applied to coaching, travel, accommodation and outfitting for these two teams. Funding from the Southern Trust was also instrumental in allowing Canterbury Cricket to employ a part-time Operations Assistant over the summer. Trust Aoraki In 2011/12 Trust Aoraki granted funds for the purchase of cricket balls for use at a range of Canterbury boys representative matches and tournaments. We believe our decision to align each Funding Partner with specific areas within the Canterbury Cricket organisation contributes significantly to the strength of the relationships we have with our Funding Partners. We are highly appreciative of their collective support of cricket in the Canterbury region. The funding we receive contributes significantly to our ability to provide quality cricket experiences to all levels of participant. Our sincere thanks to all our Family of Funding Partners. You have made a genuine difference to what we have been able to achieve. Trudy Anderson Operations Manager 54

59 DISTRICT & SUB-ASSOCIATION REPORTS Canterbury Districts Report It has been my pleasure to continue the role of Districts Co-ordinator for Canterbury Cricket during the 2011/12 season. The revamped Hawke Cup Zones continued with Canterbury Country, Buller and West Coast being joined by Nelson and Marlborough in Zone 3, while South Canterbury and Mid Canterbury joined North Otago, Otago Country and Southland in Zone 4. Canterbury Country and West Coast Cricket continued their partnership to enable the sharing of the development personnel resource. This year West Coast was able to utilise the skills of Meg Bolderstone and Jason Sinclair as part time Development Officers. James Watson also took on a full time role for Canterbury Country, while South Canterbury Cricket welcomed Shane Gilkison to a development role. James replaced Blair Franklin, who took up a role at NZ Cricket and Shane replaced Richard Davidson, who decided to pursue new business interests. Both have given outstanding service to cricket in their respective districts and on behalf of Canterbury cricket I would like to wish them well and thank them for their efforts. Our off-site Districts meeting was held in Ashburton this year and I would like to thank Richard Pithey from Mid Canterbury Cricket for arranging and hosting the meeting. We are very fortunate to be able to maintain a core group of administration and cricket development staff in our region who have built up a great deal of knowledge over the years and we thank them for their ongoing contribution. Thanks to Peter Devlin, Richard Pithey, Dave Fisher, Kevin Scanlon and Therese Gibbens, and the numerous volunteers who work along side them, for their efforts. This season, due to the trialling of a centralised tournament funding model, all underage tournaments were hosted by Canterbury Country or Christchurch. We are fortunate to have a number of outstanding tournament venues across our region, which offer a great cricketing experience for the players involved. With the on-going effect on grounds as a result of the Christchurch earthquakes, the Wizards and Magicians played much of their cricket in the districts again this season. Thanks to Canterbury Country and the team at MainPower Oval for accommodating a huge amount of cricket this summer and to South Canterbury Cricket and the team at Aorangi Oval for hosting a Ford Trophy and HRV Cup fixture. Finally, Canterbury Cricket would like to acknowledge the effort and support of all the Canterbury Districts over the 2011/12 season. Each year Canterbury Cricket calls on the districts to make a major contribution to cricket in the province. We are fortunate to have such an able group of staff and volunteers who can keep pace with the requirements and we wish you well for the 2012/13 season, which will no doubt bring more challenges.

61 DISTRICT & SUB-ASSOCIATION REPORTS Mid Canterbury Cricket Association The 2011/12 season has seen yet another busy year for Mid Canterbury Cricket with many successes and good individual performances on the field of play. There were many positives to come out of the season and as always some difficulties that had to be dealt with. Senior Cricket REPRESENTATIVE This was the youngest team selected in some time with the oldest player being 25 years old. That being said it was also the most successful season we have had in many years when looking at Hawke Cup results as the benchmark. The players had a great attitude to training and competed in every session in all the games. Des Kruger did a sterling job in his first season as captain with good support from Jason Morrison (Vice-Captain) and Matt Winter behind the stumps We played a number of 50 over games starting in September against Canterbury Country, South Canterbury, Christchurch Suburban and North Otago. Whilst we didn t win any of these games the focus was on developing a wider squad of players from which to choose during the Hawke Cup elimination games. Our Hawke Cup campaign started later this season with our first game against Otago Country in Alexandra on 28/29 January, in which 5 players were making their Hawke Cup debut. This was a very good all-round performance. Special mention should be made of Jono Print who made 115 in his Hawke Cup debut and Jason Morrison s 4 for 22 with his medium pacers. Our 2nd innings performance to chase down 159 runs in 21.3 overs epitomised the positive attitude of the players and their approach to the game. Rob Polson s rapid 90 was the backbone of the innings. Our second match was at home to North Otago and we welcomed Ben Ward and Tom Meyrick, fresh from the U18 tournament. We were also contesting the W.L Richard s Trophy, which was re-instituted this season after many years in hibernation. We performed very well with the ball but weren t quite as disciplined with the bat. We did enough though to get an outright win for the second game in a row. Our third match was away to neighbours South Canterbury and the W.L Richard Trophy was also up for grabs. We were not as focussed as we had been in our previous two games. We lost the toss on a green and grassy wicket and were soon in trouble at 8 for 35. Thanks to a well played 53* from Tom Meyrick in only his second Hawke Cup game we were eventually able to reach 120, which was about 30 runs short of a competitive total. Due to our low score we were always on the back foot and despite fighting hard for the remainder of the game we lost outright by 4 wickets and also gave up the W.L Richards Trophy to South Canterbury. Our final elimination game was against Southland in Ashburton. Southland were zone leaders on 36 points and required only a draw to earn a challenge. We needed an outright win to displace them at the top and secure a challenge. This made for an intriguing game and turned out to be a nail-biting affair with the result in the balance to the last over of the second day, which was a great advert for Hawke Cup and District two-day cricket. In the end Mid Canterbury won on the first innings but were unable to secure the outright. Chasing 186 off 23 overs we were 173 for 5 at the conclusion of play, 14 runs short. Credit must go to the Mid Canterbury players for their positive attitude and determination to win the game throughout. While it was disappointing not to get the challenge, Mid Canterbury finished zone 4 in second position on 30 points, which is our most successful season in many years. It also bodes well for the future as this is a young side with many other young players also pushing for places in the years to come. Mention should also be made of Matt Winter who accounted for 18 dismissals (14 catches, 4 stumpings), Bevan Ravenscroft with career best figures of 7 for 57 against South Canterbury and Rhys Phillips 7 for 76 against Southland. CLUB Competition formats have revolved around all eight adult teams combining for one open grade competition. Four trophies have been competed for, with two separate competitions before and after Christmas (both 45 overs), a combined league winner and a 20/20 competition played over four weekends before Christmas. One team, Star Cricket Club Old Boys enters this competition only and is made up of ex-representative and club players. We see this format, as a means of keeping players in the game for longer as the commitment required is much less. Interest has been good with playing numbers increasing in some clubs, whilst decreasing in others, with some teams fielding less than a full eleven occasionally. We lost one club, Collegiate, prior to the start of the season due 59

62 DISTRICT & SUB-ASSOCIATION REPORTS to lack of numbers, but Technical fielded a second senior team. This aside, the senior club competitions proved to be very competitive with any team capable on winning on any given day. Technical Sharks dominated the Trophies though, winning 3 out of 4. This came about due to a vastly improved club structure; they have come a long way in the last three years. Ongoing assistance is offered to clubs with regards administration, player recruitment and retention. Information to assist clubs can also be found on our website. Junior Rep Cricket UNDER 18 The Mid Canterbury under 18 cricket team completed a very successful season, winning the Canterbury Under 18 Regional tournament for the first time. It was an outstanding achievement from the team that played some very positive cricket during the week-long tournament. Although there were some outstanding individual achievements from the boys, it was a real team effort where several boys scored runs, and took wickets and their fielding was of the highest quality. Their success led to five of the team being selected for Canterbury teams. The team s achievement was also good for the future of Mid Canterbury cricket. Congratulations to Thomas Meyrick who was selected for the Canterbury U18 team. UNDER 16 The under16 s played very well as a team, starting off well when batting. Unfortunately some batsmen were too loose at times, which negated all the good work. We posted competitive scores or chased good totals in most of the games. The bowling was also very good, with the pacemen taking most of the early wickets. The spinners grew into their role and had a greater say in the outcome of games later in the tournament. All in all the boys played very well against stronger teams and had the potential to beat them, but need to learn to play as a team more often with more regular contributions. Congratulations to James Southby who was selected for the Canterbury U16B. YEAR 9 The Year 9 team was competitive throughout and includes a number of players with a lot of potential. They finished the tournament in mid-table but there were some very good individual performances. Special mention should be made of Sam Eddington and Kieran Hunte who were selected for the Canterbury team and of Scott Punselie who took two five wicket bags with his mixture of off and leg spin in the tournament. 60 Following all the regional tournaments, bi, tri and quad series were played in all age groups from U14 to U18. This gave the players that were selected an opportunity to play 2 or 3 games at a higher level than was experienced at the tournament. Special mention should also be made of the following girls who were selected for Canterbury teams. Georgia Clarke who made the Canterbury Secondary Schools Team, Jess Stagg who was selected for Canterbury U15A and Annie McDonald for making the U15B team JUNIOR CRICKET Mid Canterbury was represented at junior level from Primary down to the Year 5/6 team; we also had girls Year 5/6 and Year 7/8 teams in the CJCA competitions. The Year 5/6 boys team played in the Tournament in Mandeville. The players were very capable defensively, able to bat out their 40 overs on most occasions, but not always able to set/chase down big targets. All players had ability with the ball, managing to keep opposition batsmen under pressure throughout games. Weekly practices were held, with good improvement shown by all players in the team. This improvement was displayed at tournament when the boys won their first 3 games, followed by a close loss to South Canterbury on the last day, resulting in an overall position of 4th. The season was very successful overall. The Year 5/6 girls cricket team played in the Christchurch Girls Competition and ended up mid table results wise. Our squad was comprised of 11 players, two of whom stood down for a game on a rotated basis as the games were nine a side. Our highlight was winning the challenge trophy that was at stake for teams in this grade and holding it for one week. Girls who attended winter training benefited greatly from learning the foundation skills of batting, bowling and fielding. A lot of time was spent on getting the rest of the girls up to speed. Practices were based around batting, bowling and fielding skills but emphasis was placed on an open game practice that replicated the game they played on the weekend. This was because the girls, on the whole, had no game sense and found it hard to judge a run or respond with appropriate fielding. Hopefully, next year with some of the girls having played a season we can return to a more structured, skills-based training. The Year 7 Mid Canterbury cricket team completed a highly successful season winning four of their six games, but the main goal of the boys at this age was the development of the team. All the boys improved their cricket skills which is very important at this stage of their cricket careers. Most of the boys contributed to the team s success with several standout performances. Every boy made advancements to

63 DISTRICT & SUB-ASSOCIATION REPORTS their game during the course of the season, which will hold them in good stead for the step up to the primary team next season. The Primary team completed a successful SIPT finishing 7th overall. They developed as a team and individually as the season progressed. A lot of time was spent developing the players basic skills, which enabled us to develop more confidence in our batting, and bowling. We had a good bowling unit and were eventually able to produce good performances with the bat as well. The year 7/8 team was made up of girls from Year 6-8 at the start of the season. Around half of the team were playing their second season of competitive Saturday cricket, the rest were new to the game. The success of the Ashburton Intermediate girls team playing in the Year 7/8 Shield had helped to increase players at this age group. The girls came from four local schools - Mt Hutt College, Ashburton Intermediate, St Joseph s and Tinwald. The girls enjoyed the season and their skills progressed further than the previous season. Most are now all bowling off a marked out run up and we had a consistent wicketkeeper who wanted to do the job. Bowling wides continues to trouble them, one ball can be perfect and the next a wide! Working on bowling more consistently would be many of the girls next step. Their batting improved as they gained confidence. Many of the girls are now able to choose shots based on the pitch and direction of the ball. A batting highlight came at the start of the season after the Christmas break when Mel Puckett scored 58 not out. More and more were retiring and realizing what that meant! Towards the end of the season, many were starting to favour bowling or batting and were ready for the next level of cricket. We had a couple of good wins; the best was in the last game when the last pair of batters won the game. The results were not one-sided, and they gave the top teams in the competition a good game each week. ASHBURTON DOMAIN OVAL After the poor wickets last season we employed Russell Wylie on a consultancy basis and used a university student as his apprentice. This proved to be much more successful and our pitch was a big improvement. It had more pace and the bounce was also more consistent than previously. Whilst there is still work to be done it is a good start. The touring Emus players commented that it was the best pitch they played on. FINANCIAL Mid Canterbury received great financial support from NZC, CCA, Lion Foundation and the Ashburton Charitable Trust during the course of this season. A small district such as ours struggles to get any meaningful sponsorship for our senior team. The accommodation and transport expenses continue to increase which absorbs a lot of the association s income. The increasing demands on a single employee make it difficult to spend the required time on Grant applications and sponsorship. The Board of Control are looking into this matter. CONCLUSION On behalf of Mid Canterbury cricket I would like to thank everyone whose support and hard work makes it possible for cricket to be played in Mid Canterbury. Richard Pithey CEO 61

64 DISTRICT & SUB-ASSOCIATION REPORTS Buller Cricket Association The season was an excellent one in terms of the weather during the club season with few interruptions. Representative matches also enjoyed fine weather with little time being lost in the Hawke Cup and none in the Tindale Cup. REPRESENTATIVE CRICKET The Senior representative side had a fair season but suffered from inconsistency in batting. The team batted well for one innings in every Hawke Cup match but failed to replicate that form in the other innings against Nelson, Canterbury Country and Marlborough. However West Coast was easily beaten to give Buller its only Hawke Cup victory of the season. It was disappointing that West Coast was unable to field a team for the Forrest Cup scheduled to be played at Westport. This meant that Buller had to travel twice with no home match in return. It is now three seasons since West Coast travelled to Buller thus depriving developing Buller players of valuable representative experience on their own ground. The Senior side was well led by Troy Scanlon who led from the front with both bat and ball. The team still relies heavily on the experienced core of Scanlon and Andrew Duncan both of whom performed with credit. Valuable experience was added to the side by Dean Bermingham and Michael Anderson. The continued emergence of younger players in Michael Grafton and Jesse Elley was also a plus. Players such as these will be the backbone of Buller cricket in future years. Thanks go to rep. selectors Barry Townrow and Allan Fairweather for their input into the side. Buller was happy to host the NSW Emus during their tour in January. A Development team of 9 Buller players with two from West Coast had a narrow loss to the visitors in a one day match. Buller Cricket views tours of this nature as an important part of our development programme. The Buller High School 1st XI took part in the Gillette Cup this year, winning Round 1 by default as no other West Coast teams could field a team but bowed out to the strong Rangiora High School XI in Round 2. It is to be hoped that in future years Buller High School will be awarded a home game in the Gillette Cup next year. The Under 16 and Year 9 teams took part in the Canterbury Zone tournaments and played with full commitment against strong opposition. In the NZC Y7/8 Cup Westport North represented Buller. The Primary School reps also performed well at the South Island tournament in Invercargill. The Year 5/6 team once again attended the Canterbury Districts tournament at Rangiora and showed pleasing improvement as the tournament progressed. 62 A number of young players were rewarded with representative honours. Alistair Burnett and Max McDonald were selected in the U16 Canterbury Districts team, while Alistair Burnett and Caleb Cumming were selected in the Year 9 Canterbury Districts team. Peter O Connor and Ben Pratt were selected in the Canterbury Districts Primary School team. The Association is pleased to acknowledge the following helpers: U16 Mark Burnett and Michael Anderson; Year 9 Mark Burnett and Meagan Cumming; Primary Graeme Pratt, Peter Henderson, Graeme Ducker and Vicki Griffiths; Year 5/6 Mario Giacon and Stacey Johnson. CLUB CRICKET Ngakawau took the Kearns Cup for the first round competition, which was played as a 40 over competition. Athletic took the ASB Senior Championship and the Laurie Howard Trophy defeating Ngakawau in the final which they reached after surviving a play-off with Old Boys. The ASB MVP award was continued during the season and was keenly contested. The award went to Andrew Duncan who had a very consistent season with both bat and ball, and achieved the remarkable tally of points, the highest in the history of the award. The Primary Schools competition saw the same number of teams taking the field as last season in the Term 4 competition (won by Westport North) and in the 2012 Term 1 competition (won by St Canice s). It was great to see the effort being put in by all the players. Thanks must go to not only Barry Townrow for his efforts in organising these competitions, but also to the principals and staff in the schools who contributed so much of their time on behalf of their pupils. Thanks also go to Michael Anderson for his enthusiastic work in organising cricket at Buller High School. It was pleasing to see House Cricket revived after a hiatus in recent years. It was appropriate that the Lindsay Ireland Trophy for Endeavour was awarded to him for his efforts with cricket at the High School. Kiwi and Have-A-Go cricket was run on Saturday mornings throughout the season with numbers being very good throughout. Thanks are due to Mario Giacon, for his role in co-ordinating these sessions as well as to the parents who assisted.

65 DISTRICT & SUB-ASSOCIATION REPORTS FINANCIAL The Association s thanks go to the major sponsors, the Southern Trust, Solid Energy, ASB Bank, Holcim New Zealand, the Trusts Charitable Foundation, the New Zealand Community Trust, Pub Charity, and the Buller Community Development Company. Mention should also be made of assistance from F.T. Dooley Ltd, and On Track. The finances of the Association have been assisted by continued assistance from New Zealand Cricket and the Canterbury Cricket Association. Long term finance is still a major concern. Tightening of Trust rules and uncertainty over future applications is causing major concern. Kevin Scanlon, our indefatigable chairman, has once again carried the load in ensuring that the finances of the Association remain on a sound footing. I thank him once again for his major contribution to Buller Cricket s financial stability. The annual accounts were still being finalised at the time of writing this report. FACILITIES The On Track indoor cricket practice facility has been heavily patronised during the current season and it is hoped to make even more use of this facility during winter for intensive training for promising players. The pavilion at the High School has once again proved its worth as a lunch, afternoon tea and changing facility for club, representative and High School matches. The Association has a happy relationship with Buller High School with regard to the use of this pavilion and the High School ground and looks forward to this being maintained in future seasons. Craddock Park has also been developed as a club ground and has drawn many complimentary comments as a result. Thanks go to Tim Dalley and Barry Jellyman, the groundsmen, for their assistance in maintaining these wickets. COACHING AND DEVELOPMENT During this season coaching and development continued in the lands of Andrew Duncan, who accepted the herculean task with skill and enthusiasm. Andrew s services have been very much appreciated both by the cricketers, especially those in the younger age groups, and by the Association. The benefits of his coaching and enthusiasm are being seen in the skills of our young players. It is to be hoped that we are able to retain Andrew s services next season. The continued development of a young players Academy has been a major innovation and the development of young players through this agency is already being seen. Thanks go to Sport Tasman for their grant which allowed Development Officer Andrew Duncan to extend his programme in primary schools and to develop the small ball handling skills of these youngsters and to involve many more of them in physical activity than would otherwise be the case. UMPIRING Umpires were able to be provided for all club matches and often two specialist umpires were able to be appointed. Special thanks go to Norman Crawshaw, Brian Ansley and Barry Townrow in this regard. Brian and Barry also controlled Hawke Cup matches. It was also very pleasing to see so many younger players helping in the umpiring of the Primary Schools competition. However, the Association needs new blood in its umpiring ranks. GENERAL Any Association such as Buller Cricket is only as strong as its administration and management structure. We are very fortunate in this regard as we have a very strong base of efficient volunteer workers who give up many hours of time to ensure that cricket in Buller remains well organised. Special thanks in this regard must go the strong and hard working committee, which was a tower of strength. Publicity was excellent this season with full match reports appearing in the Westport News. Troy Scanlon must also be thanked for his weekly contributions on cricket on radio, which were broadcast on the Coast FM Sports Show on Saturday mornings throughout the season. This has given a healthy dose of publicity of the right kind and has kept cricket in the public eye, securing an audience including both cricketers and the general public. The Thursday Cricket page in the Westport News has continued to be a great success with high readership, including a large number of non-cricketers. This was a full page of cricket news and views, mainly local but with some wider aspects of the game also covered. This page proved very popular with general readers of the newspaper as well as keeping cricketers up to date with happenings in their sport. No other sport in Buller provides its followers with such extensive coverage and therefore this page ensured that cricket has by far the highest profile of any sport in Buller. The Buller Cricket Association web site has been further developed and has been well-received by those who have accessed it, particularly those people with ties to Buller who no longer live in the district. 63

66 DISTRICT & SUB-ASSOCIATION REPORTS Special thanks must also go to all the parents who assisted in the organisation of the Under-age teams, especially with the considerable amount of travelling involved. There were many parent helpers who performed heroically during the season. CONCLUSION Cricket is in good heart in Buller. Playing standards remain at a reasonable level and the game commands a high profile throughout the region. The administrative base is sound and effective structures are in place to ensure the future development of cricket throughout the region. Despite systems of shift work which makes team selection difficult and the loss of many cricketers who have left the area for reasons of employment or tertiary studies, Buller Cricket looks forward to the future with confidence. Robert Pratt President Buller Cricket Association 64

67 DISTRICT & SUB-ASSOCIATION REPORTS Canterbury Country Cricket Association It is my pleasure to present the 49th Annual Report of the Canterbury Country Cricket Association. The earthquakes in Canterbury during the last two years have had a significant impact on all areas of society and cricket is no exception. Because of the devastation in Christchurch we were asked by Canterbury Cricket to host the majority of the Wizards home matches and we did this successfully at Mainpower Oval. We received excellent feedback on our facilities and on the quality of the playing surface. Congratulations to Turf manager, Jeff Kerr and the other ground staff on what they achieved during the season. STRATEGIC PLAN We are now two years into our three year Strategic Plan and in most areas we have made good progress. Growth in player numbers has exceeded expectations and this is a reflection of the excellent work being carried out by our development staff. Financially we have improved our cash reserves. Mainpower Oval continues to hold a ground warrant of fitness and is gaining good match reports, and we have a new constitution in place. Some of our on-field results have not been as good as we had become used to and the Board initiated a review of our high performance programme. The review covered all areas of our representative programme at all age groups. We are hopeful that the review will enable us to meet the targets set in our Strategic Plan. MAINPOWER OVAL As I mentioned earlier, Mainpower Oval became the home of the Canterbury Wizards last season. It was a pleasure to host the Canterbury boys for their home matches and practice sessions and we are looking forward to assisting again in the coming year. We greatly appreciated the assistance we received from the staff at Canterbury Cricket and benefitted in very practical ways from their involvement. Further improvements are planned for the ground over the next twelve months. We are about to begin work on a new practice area at the southern end of the ground. This will provide us with a training facility able to be fully used whilst a match is being played, something we are required to do to maintain a first class warrant of fitness for the ground. A new irrigation system and leveling of the outfield will be completed at the end of the 2012/13 season. REPRESENTATIVE CRICKET Our senior representative team had another mixed season finishing third in our Hawke Cup zone and being knocked out of the CCA one day competition at the semi-final stage. On a more positive note three of our senior players gained selection in the Canterbury Wizards squad: Peter Fulton, Henry Nicholls and Struan George. It was the first time in our history we have had three players in the same Canterbury senior team and even better that they were all playing on our home ground, Mainpower Oval. In the under age grades the primary boys team finished first equal at the South Island Primary Tournament and the Under 16 boys finished first equal at their tournament. An even better result was achieved by our Under 17 girls team who dominated their tournament played at Mandeville. DEVELOPMENT Our development programmes have continued to produce good growth in junior numbers. The Have a Go and Kiwi programmes in clubs and schools are very popular and the resource we have servicing these areas is stretched to the limit. Our development staff continued to service the West Coast Association but with our own programme growing so rapidly we struggled to keep up with the demand. Despite the excellent growth in our junior ranks our adult club cricket has struggled. We are very conscious of our responsibilities in this area and are currently looking at ways of assisting clubs through our development programmes. Whilst the Club Assist programme has been successful the association is not in a financial position to progress the programme any faster than at present and we believe there are more effective and practical of assisting our clubs. FINANCE Our Strategic Plan clearly defines levels of cash reserves that we need to reach within the three year period. We made a good start last financial year and are on track to improve on that again this financial year. The Strategic Plan target is a minimum that an organisation of our size can live with. We must continue to operate surpluses into the future to secure our ongoing viability. I am confident that this can be achieved. 65

68 DISTRICT & SUB-ASSOCIATION REPORTS As always we are very appreciative of our sponsors and other funding bodies who continue to support us. Sport in New Zealand would come to a standstill without the gaming trusts and we must support them in their efforts to reduce the influence of the anti-gambling lobby. CONCLUSION In conclusion I want to again thank all those involved with the running of Country Cricket. There are far too many to single out in a report of this kind but those I must mention are our very loyal staff who have coped with the additional workload of hosting a huge amount of first class cricket without any noticeable impact on our own programmes. Thanks also to the umpires, team managers, selectors and coaches and all the players who give so freely of their time. Finally, to our President, John Gardner, and fellow Board members thank you again for the commitment and enthusiasm with which you carry out the governance role of this association. Michal Satterthwaite Chairman 66

69 DISTRICT & SUB-ASSOCIATION REPORTS South Canterbury Cricket Association The season was a season of change for South Canterbury, as in June we lost the services of our Cricket Development Officer Richard Davison after 11 years of dedicated service. Richard was replaced by Shane Gilkison in August and with a late lead in to the season he had a real challenge in setting up our coaching in schools programme as well as overseeing a very full representative season and junior cricket development. With the assistance of all our representative coaches and Ed and Tahir (most of the time) Shane was able to deliver coaching to over 4000 school children and also strengthen and, in some cases, renew SC Cricket s relationship with local Schools. REPRESENTATIVE Our Senior rep side competed in the Southern zone of the Hawke Cup again this season. New coach Bruce Carlaw, his assistant Robin Beeby and Manager John Davies started the season with high hopes of achieving a Hawke Cup challenge and with a comprehensive outright win over North Otago we got off to the best possible start. Unfortunately we couldn t match Southland on their home track and lost outright by 10 wickets. A good win over Mid Canterbury and a disappointing loss to Otago Country epitomised our season. The basis of the squad should return again next season and with the addition of a couple more quality players will see the team well placed to achieve the goal of first winning the right to challenge for the Hawke Cup and secondly bringing the Cup home to South Canterbury. CLUB Six senior teams made up this season s senior competition, playing formats of 2 Day cricket, One Day cricket and a 20/20 competition. These competitions were dominated by the strongest club, Celtic, with them winning all three formats quite convincingly. The 20/20 competition was moved to Friday nights in the hope of attracting a good crowd to Aorangi Oval, but with unseasonably cold nights combined with some wet weather meant the crowds were not as big as the association would have liked. Craig Davies from Celtic was again the leading run scorer with 1057 club runs during the season. The bowling was lead by another Celtic player Sam Carlaw who took 52 club wickets. It was disappointing to see some senior clubs struggling to get 11 players on the park, and we need to work with clubs to even up the senior competition. The Senior reserve and 2nd Grade competition were combined this year with 8 teams involved. 2nd Grade B was formed by 6 secondary school teams, presidents grade had 4 teams, 4th grade 6 teams and women s grade was made up of 5 teams with Timaru Girls HS taking the title again. All grades had finals between the top two teams on the points table. The JAB morning grades had 31 sides competing throughout South Canterbury. Weather played a big part in matches being cancelled this year and unfortunately there were quite a few defaults in the lower grades, which is a worrying trend going forward. UNDER 18 South Canterbury had a talented team of U18 players this season, which was coached by Chris Galway and Bevan Guthrie. They started off the U18 regional tournament with a good 1st innings win over a strong Metro Red side in their 2 Day match. Led by Captain Glen Drake who scored a brilliant 129, SC posted 213 and then dismissed Metro for 138 with Drake taking 2-9. Day 3 was washed out due to wet pitches, but the big game on Day 4 was against SC neighbour Mid Canterbury, in a top of the table clash. SC batted first and posted a below par 142. Glen Drake again topped scored with 34, but unfortunately no one who got a start went on to a substantial score. Nathan McNicol bowled with pace and accuracy to reduce MC to 117-7, but MC sneaked home in what was a disappointing effort from the SC team. South Canterbury played West Coast combined on the last day and comprehensively outplayed them, bowling them out for 79. Glen Drake the star with the ball taking SC then needed just 13.2 overs to chase down that total and end the tournament in 2nd place. Coach Chris Galway was disappointed not to have won the tournament. UNDER 16 The Under 16 team played their tournament at Mandeville in mid December. Results were mixed with 3 matches lost and 1 win. Despite this there were a number of good individual performances especially from Liam Beck, Henry Race and Nick O Brien. 67

70 DISTRICT & SUB-ASSOCIATION REPORTS YEAR 9 Defending the trophy that the SC Year 9 team had won the previous season, this year s team had a terrific tournament at Ilam Fields in Christchurch. A first up win against Buller by 140 runs, was followed by a come-from-behind victory against Metro Black by 7 runs. The T20 match against Canterbury Country resulted in a nail-biting tie, and then a 71 run win against West Coast combined in another T20 meant that South Canterbury topped their pool and played Metro White in the 50 over final. The final was a great game of cricket and showed that you should never give up, with South Canterbury defending an inadequate 124 by bowling the last Metro player with the scores level resulting in another tie, meaning they shared the title. Captain Alastair Harvey and Josh Mehrtens were selected in the Canterbury Year 9 team to play Wellington, and 6 of the team made the Southern Districts team that competed in a Regional Tri Series, where they played 2 matches winning one, and, incredibly having another tie. PRIMARY A (YEAR 8) The SC Primary A side played at the South Island Primary schools tournament in Invercargill. They came an encouraging 4th only 1 point behind 3 teams who were tied for 1st place. They played some good quality cricket and had several down to the wire results. In all they played 4 matches at the tournament with 3 wins and 1 loss. YEAR 5 and 6 The Year 5 and 6 team playing at Mandeville, had a very successful tournament, winning all 4 matches convincingly. Unfortunately they ended as runners up due to them not gaining all 10 opposition wickets in one of their wins. Coached by Antony De Joux, the team won 13 of their 14 matches played during the season. A superb effort. WOMEN The women s game continued to struggle locally with numbers of players down again. The women s game is an area of concern not just in SC, but nationwide and we need to attract more players into women s cricket. We had a SC U15 team competing in a quad tournament over 3 Sundays and logistically this proved very difficult to arrange. The results were disappointing also. The U17 girls, coached by Rowan Milburn, competed in a 3 team tournament at Mandeville in early January and competed well, losing both matches but results were close. 68 Courtney Buckman continued her improvement by making the Canterbury Secondary schools team that played in Wellington, and also the Canterbury Development team. The women s senior rep team played in the Aotea Cup with a win and a loss. This is a strong side under the leadership of Rowan Milburn and it was unfortunate that one of the Otago sides defaulted to us, depriving the team of some quality cricket. COACHING We had a good season with a number of new coaches getting involved. In April, a Level 1 course was held over two Sundays with 10 coaches attending. This is very encouraging and many of them will be involved with coaching our representative sides over the winter and into next season. We also had several visits from Andrew Reid and Paul Wiseman to view our promising young cricketers. These sessions were well-attended and very beneficial. Bob Carter also came down and ran a session for our senior rep side. WIZARDS MATCHES We were again very pleased to be able to host the Wizards in a 50 over and T20 game. The T20 game against Otago produced a crowd of over 2000 and saw Canterbury win in an exciting finish. A special thanks to all those who assisted over the 2 days especially Barney Cahill who ran the beer tents for the Association. FINANCIAL After a $20k loss in financial year I am pleased to report that we will see a small profit for the year. This can be attributed to receiving additional Gaming Machine Funding, a financially successful T20 game, getting new Sponsors and monitoring expenses. CONCLUSION A successful Representative programme, improved financial performance and the introduction of 2 quality English cricketers to our local Club competition were highlights. Our biggest challenges are to assist the Clubs in achieving both the playing and administrative strength we all would desire and the retention of our young cricketers from schoolboy to club. Overall, another successful season for South Canterbury Cricket. David Fisher Executive Officer

71 DISTRICT & SUB-ASSOCIATION REPORTS West Coast Cricket Association We started the season with a visit from the Canterbury Wizards it was great to see the West Coast players mixing with the Wizards (and hopefully learning from them!). This has been a difficult year for West Coast Cricket. The senior competition failed to fire with three of the four teams battling to get the numbers needed to field a team on a weekly basis. Several of the matches went ahead as 8-a-side as a consequence. The Senior West Coast Representative Team struggled for numbers and commitment from the beginning and this resulted in the unfortunate situation of having to default a Hawke Cup game to Marlborough. The issues sourrounding this have been resolved now but it was extremely frustrating for our association at the time. The senior cricket issues were not helped by the start of the rugby season encroaching on the cricket season once again. Our junior representative teams have also all been propped up by players from other associations. We are extemely grateful to all the players (and their parents) who came and joined Coast in the Primary, Year 9 and Under 16 teams. We have had some long and hard discussions about the future of West Coast Cricket but we now look ahead with a positive outlook after discussions with both Canterbury Cricket and New Zealand Cricket and we believe we now have a way forward to deal with the issues we are currently facing. It has become blatantly clear that in order to progress at all, or any levels, we need to have a permanent full time Cricket Co-ordinator based here on the Coast. The bonds that need to be forged with schools is a major issue if we are to make progress in getting more kids and adults playing the game. Coaching and Development is the biggest issue facing us. We have had some tentative discussions with Canterbury Cricket in an effort to progress this issue in time for the 2012/13 season and hope we can find the right person for the job. There are several positive things happening: We are grateful for the continued support from the Gaming Industry. Therese Gibbens West Coast Cricket 69

72 DISTRICT & SUB-ASSOCIATION REPORTS Christchurch Junior Cricket Association The CJCA Executive Committee met regularly through the year and has operated well. Subcommittees have been used to look into particular issues or have been formed to move various projects forward. A notable new subcommittee was established to begin preparations for the CJCA hosting the 50th South Island Primary Schools Cricket Tournament (SIPST) in Christchurch during January 2013; this subcommittee also includes several members not on the CJCA executive. A subcommittee was also formed to begin preparation for an inaugural girls South Island tournament in the 2012/13 season. The CJCA executive committee is losing the services of four members who will not be restanding for office: Kenji Irie, Bruce Kennedy, Paul Dolan, and Andrew Long. Their varied contributions to junior cricket have been significant and they are thanked for these. CJCA acknowledge the passing of several long-standing supporters and servants of Christchurch junior cricket during the past year. Our sympathies and condolences are extended to the families of Ken Germon, Bruce Mugford, John Capstick, Ishwar Ganda and Peter Sharp. It is pleasing to see that junior cricket remains an important summer sport in Christchurch with 255 teams starting the season. This is a good result given the continued disruption the Christchurch earthquakes have caused to families, society and facilities in the city. Grade managers have ensured that both the Saturday competitions and regional tournament games were well-organised and operated smoothly. In this regard we acknowledge the contributions of Alan Hickford, Francis van Woerkom, Barry Hazeldine, Peter Hay, Gary Tempero, and Bruce Kennedy. Brent Libeau was co-opted in January 2012 to lead the year 6 regional tournament. Junior girls Saturday competitions and regional tournaments were well led by Ady Simmons, Chris Holt, Brent Davidson and Paul Gray. An active representative programme was organised for the junior girls with an away trip for various teams to Otago to play teams from Otago and Southland. Paul O Brien, a representative from CCA, sits on the executive committee and provides a valuable contact with the CCA. Mike Fisher of CCA undertakes all draws and ground allocations for Christchurch cricket competitions, and his contribution to CJCA in this regard is acknowledged. The wider support of the CCA is important and includes access to the boardroom for meetings, provision of coaches for winter training and selectors for trials, as well as an excellent sounding board to debate wider issues. Our groundsmen, Danny Timpson and the late Bruce Mugford, continued their excellent work in preparing the outfield wickets for the softball grades. The time and attention given to our financial accounts by our Auditor, Dave Gallop, is also acknowledged. A number of projects and/or activities were undertaken this year: 70 High School, giving 4 wickets at this venue and making it a suitable venue for Regional Tournament games. An artificial wicket was installed at Burnside Primary School and another at Cashmere High School. Funding for these from the New Zealand Community Trust is gratefully acknowledged. school, to improve grassroots knowledge and skills. This better prepares players for when they have to umpire their own games at year 9. This training was conducted by Dallas McIlraith, Canterbury Regional Umpires and Scorers Association, and was undertaken after winter training sessions. that made a personal phone call to many of the players from junior clubs in the eastern suburbs that were hit hard during the earthquakes. A preseason (late-august to early-september) advert for junior cricket was also run with MediaWorks on local radio stations. were dispersed as follows: administration support, teacher training, artificial pitches, website, winter coaching, and SIPST (Canterbury Community Trust); artificial pitches and facility hire for winter training (New Zealand Community Trust); preseason publicity campaign (Air Rescue Services Trust, Sport Canterbury and MediaWorks); SIPST (Air Rescue Services Trust); tournament expenses (Mainland Trust). The support of these organisations is significant and appreciated. Cricket Express is also thanked for their continued sponsorship of the regional tournaments. Jubilee batting and bowling awards have been made to the year 6, 7 or 8 boy and girl players who score the most runs or take the most wickets at regional tournament games and at Mandeville or SIPST. For the 2011 calender year these were awarded to Rebecca Willis, Phoebe Spiers, Rupert Whyte, and Zac Medland. Congratulations to the CJCA Metropolitan year 8 Red team that finished first equal (with Canterbury Country and Dunedin Metropolitan) at the January 2012 SIPST at Invercargill. The smooth running of junior cricket in Christchurch only occurs through the large volunteer base. The efforts of our committee, coaches, managers, club/school convenors, and mum and dad supporters are gratefully acknowledged. The CJCA has a solid foundation and strong community support and is well-placed for the advancement of junior cricket in Christchurch. Peter Heenan, President Barry Hazeldine, CJCA Manager

76 DISTRICT & SUB-ASSOCIATION REPORTS Christchurch Suburban Cricket Association It is with much sadness that this report will be the 106th and last of the Christchurch Suburban Cricket Association (CSCA). In April after a recommendation from the CSCA Executive committee all CSCA clubs unanimously approved that the CSCA start negotiations with the CCA to establish a new independent body to administer and manage all adult and youth club cricket in Christchurch. This new body was formed in August 2012 to ultimately be responsible for adult and youth cricket in Christchurch. This body, to be called the Christchurch Metropolitan Cricket Association (Metro), will replace both Christchurch Suburban Cricket Association and part of the Canterbury Cricket Association that governs the adult and youth cricket in addition to clubs affiliated to CCA. Initially Metro had a large job to largely familiarise themselves with the structures and workings of youth, adult men s and women s cricket in metropolitan Christchurch. It is vital this body addresses (over the next five years) many of the issues and challenges facing club cricket in Christchurch. It is proposed for this new body to fully represent all cricket clubs in metropolitan Christchurch and that the CSCA will be officially dissolved as at September 30 this year. This will need to be voted on by all CSCA affiliated clubs at Special General meeting on 9 August The 2011/12 season started out with some fear of losing significant playing numbers after the events of February Whilst there appeared to be a loss of approximately 10% of playing numbers many clubs rallied well and kept membership to levels to that of the 2010/11 season. A number of clubs lost their grounds for all or part of the season including Addington (Barrington), Sumner (St Leonards) and Richmond (Richmond Park). Along with late starts to a small number of grounds it was surprising cricket got underway on time. This past twelve months still had the usual 21 clubs still affiliated to the CSCA and whilst the CSCA was very much in a transition phase we still had an Executive Committee serving these clubs. On this executive for 2011/12 were Gary Saunders (President), Matt Harrington, Leighton Johnston, Michael Chatterton, Ray Carlyle, Marcus Thompson and Andy Clarke. All members of the Executive have made significant contributions which is very much appreciated by all clubs as often many decisions have to be made which are not always going to be agreed by all concerned. I thank you all for your superb efforts. I am especially indebted to Gary Saunders for being an excellent sounding board on many issues and also for giving much of his time on a number of projects over many years all of which I am very grateful. The Senior A 2011/12 three competitions were shared between three clubs with Southern Districts dominating many. They won the Senior A Overall Championship and along with Merivale-Papanui shared the Ken Haworth Two Day trophy after finishing equal on the same points after both clubs recorded close outright victories on the last day of the season. This was Merivale-Papanui s first Senior A title since the1987/88 season. To top off another superb season Southern Districts won the Skilton One Day Trophy beating Halswell at Beckenham Park, and then had to share the Twenty20 title with Sumner after two attempts at playing a final were washed out. The Senior A representative team had a very good season with wins over Mid Canterbury, South Canterbury, and Northern NSW Emus followed by a narrow loss to a very strong Canterbury Country team. This team was again selected and captained by Leighton Johnston with match management capably completed by Mike Chatterton. This year a number of new faces represented CSCA and performed creditably despite the calibre of opponents. The Development team was selected and captained by Dan Vann and had a comfortable win over a Willows X1. The Peter Russell trophy for outstanding contribution to Christchurch Suburban Cricket was won by Richmond, who, despite losing their grounds and clubrooms for part 74

77 DISTRICT & SUB-ASSOCIATION REPORTS of the season, had reorganised themselves to attain Senior A status, performing very creditably in their first season back. Despite losing Senior A status Addington performed superbly in the 2B grade winning all competitions despite not having a home ground due to earthquake damage. To boot they were also the overall CSCA Club Champions winning the Melhuish Shield. Other Trophy winners representing CSCA were: 4C Merivale-Papanui Calvglass Importers 4B City Eagles 4A Number 4 Experience 3C Section 2 Grade Upper Riccarton 3A Section 1 Grade Predators Twenty20 Pirates (Shared with Riccarton Hoggs) CSCA Chairman s Cup Merivale-Papanui The CSCA is again indebted to Lyall Matchett for collating scores and providing radio updates on all Senior A fixtures. A special thanks to Mike Fisher, CCA, for all the extra work he puts in to assist the CSCA especially around cancellations and assisting with emergency decisions on a Saturday. In this last full official year of the CSCA I am happy to report that the finances of the CSCA are still very good. The CSCA also was able to attain funding for all of the Umpires fees for all eight Senior A teams saving each club approximately $500. In addition we were able to obtain a grant from the Southern Trust for cricket balls for all clubs with junior teams. Funding provided approximately two dozen balls per one day and junior teams, to be used in this season with an overall value of $29,000 to clubs. This will be a significant saving for all clubs. It is proposed that a trust named the CSCA Cricket Trust will be established following the dissolution of the CSCA. Again this will be voted on at the SGM in August. A trust deed has been circulated to all clubs outlining what the Trust s objectives and role will be with these CSCA reserves but essentially it will be available to all clubs with interest free loans or grants for cricketing related matters. We are again very appreciative to the Canterbury Cricket Umpires Association who continues to support our Senior A grade and representative programmes very strongly. It is prudent to thank a small band of Life Members whose contribution has been immense over, for some, a life time. Firstly Ken Haworth is our oldest and longest serving administrator, player and umpire who was the instigator of many sweeping changes within the CSCA and continues to take a close interest in the CSCA. Similarly William Skilton, like Ken, contributed an enormous amount of time in many roles over many years and latterly prudently managed our books to the extent where we have the reserves we have today. Les Angus, another elder statesman, also served the CSCA very well over the period. More latterly, Lyall Matchett also was a major driver in change in serving as Chairman for many years. Lastly another life member, Heather Steele, our Executive Officer, has served the CSCA superbly for well over 25 years. Without her sterling work our clubs and competitions would be much the poorer. Heather, on behalf of all clubs and the CSCA, I thank you very much for all you have done over the many seasons. Lastly I would like to take this opportunity to thank all clubs for their support of the CSCA over many years. Whilst it is an end of an era after 107 years of existence we all should be excited about what this new body will be able to bring to cricket within Christchurch and for all its stakeholders. Roger Georgieff Chairman 75

78 DISTRICT & SUB-ASSOCIATION REPORTS Canterbury Regional Cricket Umpires and Scorers Association It is with pleasure I present my report for the 2011/2012 season. It has been a very busy season with several Tournaments to cover including the Under 17 girls, Under 19 regional boys tournaments. This was a great effort with 95% of these covered with two umpires; a big thank you to Roger Wyeth for his hard work with appointments. Thanks to Eddie Brownlee and his team for the appointments for Regional games. We know this is hard to do with availability but we manage. We have four umpires on national panels which can be a strain on our resources: Gary Baxter Elite panel and International panel Tim Parlane Elite panel Phil Agent and Dave Reid A panel Dave Quested is also involved in his role as observer for NZC. Congratulations to Jason Wood, Eugene Sanders and David Henderson for passing the Level 4 examination. I m sure in the not too distant future we will have more umpires on Panels. Congratulations go to Euan West and Tony Feely for, again, being appointed as scorers to first class and International fixtures. They continue to produce work of the highest standards. We look forward to seeing the numbers of club scorers swell in this Association. I express thanks to the Executive and especially to our hard working Secretary/Treasurer Tony Scott. Special thanks to our regional training officer Dallas McIlraith; members probably don t realise how hard Dallas works for our Association; training, recruitment and fundraising are just some of the roles he performs. We had the sad passing of Dallas s wife during the season and our thoughts are with him now. Everyone is waiting to see what happens to Hagley Oval with the proposed development and how we will be affected. I believe we need a venue but where is the big question. We had two exchanges during the year with Dave Henderson and Eugene Sanders going to Central Districts. Richard Hooper had an exchange to Victoria Lastly, a big thank-you to Lee Germon and Trudy Anderson from Canterbury Cricket, and to Mike Fisher for being available for advice and help during the season. We need this support to continue to work well together. Winter well and I look forward to catching up in a couple of months for season Jim Henderson President 76

79 DISTRICT & SUB-ASSOCIATION REPORTS CCUSA Report It has been an honour and pleasure to lead the association through a very full season. The season started out with so much promise with pleasing performances from a lot of members, none more so than the young guns. It was very pleasing to see the likes of Jason Woods, Richard Hooper, David Henderson, Eugene Sanders all get on the National Development panel and to see Gary Baxter, David Reid and Phil Agent progress as the big boys. These are the young life blood but we need more. Membership remains our biggest challenge and will need some serious efforts. It is not just a job for one man,everyone will need to help in this area, talking to clubs, older players, friends, etc to build numbers up. It was also pleasing to see some new young blood on executive. Roger Wyerth is doing a superb job with training (and as umpire manager a great link with Canterbury Cricket), Jason Wood taking over in the bean counter s roll. It is a sad moment but with Nook helping to rebuild Christchurch, his health suffered and he stepped down from the Secretary/Treasurer role. A huge loss but a wonderful support to me. Richard Hooper also added some new ideas to the team, as did Markham Lee. David Herber, as usual, despite losing records, worked tirelessly getting as many umpires as were available out on the field. I cannot give enough cudos to Nook Ebert, who has supported me not only as my Secretary, but as a friend giving advice when needed. Of course it goes without saying that his fundraising efforts through housie see us well in the black. We need to all support this effort so we don t need to worry about where the next dollar is coming from. However, we all need to support Nook when called upon to help out on Thursday nights. With Jim stepping in as Secretary we had a good keen man but his work has got in the way, so as a really supportive father, he has seconded David to do his job. Our contact with Canterbury Cricket has been very positive with Roger as our contact point but the support of Mike Fisher has been excellent. He is always available on a Saturday and very supportive all season. A small number of code of conduct hearings ran smoothly with his chairmanship. I do believe player conduct has improved over the years but it is good to know we have the solid backing of Mike and his team when the odd player steps over the boundaries of behaviour. Some of us had time to umpire school and age group cricket and it is clear that knowledge of cricket law is, to be kind, very basic. It creates problems for young players when they climb up the ladder and get pinged for things they thought normal. David Henderson ran a very good social team and the end of season dinner ( in the right time slot ) was a raging success with a large number attending. I was thrilled to see such old faces as Allister Vette, an old umpire and now our auditer attend with Fran. As usual our stalwarts Graeme and Doreen Felton were in attendance, but it was a real thrill to me to see Patron Bob Conway in attendance. Award winners were Matthew Hill for the wooden spoon. He drove his car over a bank going to Greymouth to umpire a Hawke Cup game AND CARRIED ON TO STAND IN THE GAME. Peter Koppes won the Baxter trophy for the most improved young umpire and Matthew Hill took out the coveted Felton Trophy. We face a number of challenges next season, none more so than membership. We need to build our numbers so us oldies can step back. We also need to address the ongoing need to preserve our pavilion in the changing nature of Hagley Oval. Again thank you for the honour of being your President again, so far an enjoyable experience. Bernie Hamilton CCUSA President 77

89 MEN S REPRESENTATIVE CRICKET Canterbury Wizards The Canterbury Wizards winter squad began its pre-season preparation in early May 2011 and we based our programme on a number of key areas: The early part of the programme sees the players get back into their core conditioning under the expert guidance of Neil Tyndall. His brief is to make the players fitter, faster and stronger, in order to cope with a domestic cricket season that runs from October through to April. We are very fortunate to have the support of City Fitness and they provide the players with excellent gym facilities at Northwood. From July to mid- September the focus shifts towards working on improving our technical skills and in particular the development of a player s key strengths whether it be batting or bowling, although everybody believes they can bat, so we always have cricketers willing to practise. This practice is achieved at our excellent indoor base at Hornby Action Indoor Centre, Buchanans Road. From mid- September through to the start of the domestic programme which starts in early November, the cricket emphasis switches to outdoor nets and, on the odd occasion, open wicket practice. This is played out at Lincoln University High Performance Centre where Alan Gilmour and his supportive team prepare grass pitches for us. Our playing home base for last season was MainPower Oval, Rangiora with the loss of the Village Green at Queen Elizabeth 2 complex. We are always provided with good pitches on the middle and in the nets. Peter Devlin and Jeff Kerr, along with plenty of experienced experts, support the Wizards throughout the season with playing and practice facilities of a high quality. We also played games last season at Timaru where we are always made to feel welcome. A good pitch is always on hand and, with the short boundaries, all our games provide plenty of entertainment for the local crowd. This past season we were very fortunate to play two games at Hagley Oval. The first of these was a T20 match against Wellington.

90 MEN S REPRESENTATIVE CRICKET provided a good crowd with a thrilling performance with batting and bowling of high quality which led to an excellent win for the team. In February this was followed by our International T20 match against the South African Cricket team. In front of a fantastic crowd, and a television audience to boot, we were able to play in what was a memorable cricketing occasion and my thanks to all those who made the day such a success. THE DOMESTIC COMPETITIONS In the HRV T20 Cup, all the way to the Final, we played an exciting brand of T20 cricket finishing runners-up to the deserved winners Auckland. There were a number of notable performances throughout the tournament, but in only using 12 players, I believe that this was instrumental in how close we came to winning this competition. In the Ford Trophy (one-day competition), we used a total of 20 players with no fewer than 7 local Canterburydeveloped players making their one-day debuts. The team performed admirably to make it to the semi-finals where we were beaten in a low scoring match by Otago at University Oval. The Plunket Shield was a competition which proved very frustrating to us all. In all our matches we were in a position to win the match but only succeeded in getting over the winning line on one occasion. This was against Central Districts at the very impressive cricket ground at Saxton Fields in Nelson. This season we had three Blackcaps central contracts along with twelve domestic Canterbury contracts which allowed us to give more opportunity to locally-developed players. This meant that we were not only adding experience to our professional ranks but we were also creating depth in our playing squad. We certainly built on our team culture from the previous season but, disappointingly, could not win the T20 competition; we had targeted this format as we were confident with the players we had at our disposal who included two experienced overseas players in Yasir Arafat and Mitchell Claydon. It s important moving forward to strengthen our professional playing squad and to keep developing our own players through Canterbury Cricket s underage system, The Canterbury Way. My thanks to all the players who made this a most enjoyable season both on and off the field of play, and to Peter Fulton for his excellent leadership throughout the year. Hopefully with a bit of ruthlessness at defining moments from the team next season we can make it a winning one. Finally, my thanks to all those people in administration, support staff coaches and the various ground staff who put in countless hours to get the Canterbury Wizards playing and performing to a high standard.

ITINERARY Game 1 15th-16th Nov 2 day game Canterbury v Otago Hagley park number 2 Game 2 17th Nov 1 day game Canterbury v Otago Hagley park number 2 Game 3 13th-14th Dec 4 x T20 games Canterbury v Otago Aorangi park Timaru GAME 1 It was agreed that each team would bat for a day and field for a day no matter how many wickets were to fall. The feeling was, at this early stage in the season, bowlers and fielders needed time on their feet and this was the fair way of achieving this especially as no one quite knew what the pitch was going to play like. Day 1 Canterbury batted first and got off to a solid start with the openers putting on 40 for the first wicket. At 100 for 3 we were still well-positioned but the theme of the day for the batsmen was to get set then get out with four players in the top five making scores in the twenties. Only Henry Nicholls (54) and Logan van Beek (45 run out) made anything like a decent score. Although the Otago bowlers were able to swing the ball all day, it was batsman error accounting for 90 percent of the wickets to fall. The final score for the day was 304 for a very disappointing 15 wickets. For Otago, Soper picked up 4 for 35 and McSkimming 3 for 32. Day 2 Otago s innings was almost the opposite of Canterbury with only two of their top five getting in but one of those scores was significant with Jimmy Neesham scoring a typically aggressive 105 from just 134 balls. The Canterbury catching was disappointing dropping Neesham three times on the way to his century. Ex-Canterbury A player, Tim Muir, chimed in with a belligerent 45 off 66 balls leaving Otago 282 for 9 at the end of their 97 overs. For Canterbury Matt Henry took 3 for 17 from 12 overs and Peter Younghusband 3 for 71 from 27. GAME 2 Canterbury batted first on a slowing pitch and got off in a relatively subdued manner bringing up their 100 in the 31st over 3 wickets down. Graham Clarke, this year s Durham exchange player scored a solid 38 at the top of the order. Nicholls again proved to be the glue in the middle order scoring 67 off 79 balls. A powerful 49 not out from Logan van Beek off just 30 balls with brief cameos from the later order meant Canterbury were able to reach a final score of 256 for 8 from their 50 overs. The last 100 runs came in just 62 balls proving that wickets in hand were key on this pitch. Best bowling figures for Otago were Smith 3 for 52 and Neesham 2 for 41. Otago lost an early wicket but soon put together promising partnerships reaching 195 for 4 wickets with 18 overs in hand. Key contributors for Otago were Rutherford 35, Eathorne 41 and, continuing on with his fantastic form from the day before, was Neesham with a very impressive 87 from just 59 balls. It took a stunning one-handed catch on the boundary from a limping Frauenstein to curtail what was looking like back to back hundreds from the powerful left hander. The catch was a catalyst to lift the effort from 106

109 MEN S REPRESENTATIVE CRICKET the bowling unit and was ably supported by the fielders. In the end Otago fell 10 runs short. The Canterbury bowling effort was solid right the way through with 3 wickets falling to McEwan and 2 each to van Beek and McCord. Although he didn t take any wickets Matt Holsteins 0 for 35 off 10 during the middle overs against the rampant Neesham was key spell. GAME 3 Canterbury batted first but never really got going after losing Abraham in the first over for 3. Graham Clarke top scored with a quick fire 35 with the next highest score being 20 from Jeff Case leaving a target for Otago of just 149 to win. In reply Otago found the boundary at will and cruised to victory with 16 balls to spare. Hamish Rutherford hit an impressive 89 not out and Duffy a hard hitting 52. The Canterbury bowlers missed their length and were made to pay with the shortish boundaries. Lonsdale was the best of the bowlers with 1 for 22 off his 4 overs. GAME 4 The second game of the day proved to be Canterbury s best, scoring an impressive 170 for 7. Keryn Ambler lead the way with 62 and was well-supported by Henry Nicholls 41 and a quick 25 from Jeff Case. Otago changed their order around and Darren Broom got them off to a good start with 44; he was also aided in the middle order by Tim Muir with a typically aggressive 55. No one else was able to contribute significantly to their innings and eventually they were contained to 149 for 8. All the Canterbury bowlers adjusted their lengths from the first game. Lonsdale again was the pick of the bowlers with 3 for 20 and McConchie picked up 2 for 23 with his off spin. GAME 5 Unfortunately, due to early morning rain, we were reduced to just one T20 match and this time had to bowl first in wet conditions making fielding and bowling very difficult especially for the spin bowlers. Otago returned to their original batting order but this time it didn t work for their openers as Frauenstein and Lonsdale dismissed them cheaply. Darren Broom batting at 3 scored a classy 63 and was well-supported by Fitzgibbon 32. Eventually the Otago effort resulted in a score of 145 for 5 from their 20 overs. All of the Canterbury seamers bowled with tight control and good figures. This should have been a comfortable target with the outfield drying out especially at 93 for 2 needing 7 s and 8 s an over. Unfortunately the Otago spinners were able to bowl with a dry ball on a helpful pitch and our batsmen were unable to score a boundary from 91 until our final total of 133. Dave Fulton was the backbone of the innings with an encouraging 62 and a couple of 20 s from McConchie and Nicholls got us to a position where we should have been able to finish off the game. Unfortunately it wasn t to be. National A Team Tournament January GAME 1 Canterbury vs Northern Districts (50 over match) In a 39 over rain-reduced game, Northern seemed to be in control before some late heroics from Canterbury s Ryan McCone got his team within a stroke of winning. Canterbury won the toss on a lively pitch and soon had Northern in trouble but an inventive innings from middle order batsmen Jono Boult showed the top order how it was done scoring the match s top score of 57. Northern eventually were dismissed for 162 off the last ball of the innings. Wickets were spread evenly throughout the Canterbury bowling line-up, but best figures belonged to debutant Ed Nuttall who bowled his maximum eight overs for 21 runs and took two wickets in the process. Northern s strong bowling line-up lead by Test seamer Brent Arnel soon had Canterbury in trouble, tumbling quickly to 38 for five. Captain Todd Astle and all-rounder Logan van Beek brought their side back into it as they combined for 61 but were unable to kick on with both batsmen being dismissed before reaching three figures. Coming in at 7 for 95, McCone took the aggressive approach smashing 38 not out off 32 balls. Unfortunately it wasn t quite enough finishing 4 runs short of what would have been a very unlikely victory. GAME 2 Canterbury vs Auckland (50 over match) Canterbury won the toss and put Auckland in to bat. It turned out to be the right decision, as they ripped through a quality Auckland batting line-up early. At 29 for 5 and 46 for 6 it was always going to be a tough ask to put together a competitive score. A fighting partnership from Marc Ellison (47) and young wicket-keeper Cameron Fletcher (42 not out) pulled the score up to 145 for 9 after 50 overs. Willie Lonsdale was the best of the bowlers for Canterbury as he helped to cripple Auckland with figures of four for 20 from nine overs. Canterbury went about the run chase in sensible fashion and, despite losing four wickets, got home comfortably with Cole McConchie anchoring the innings unbeaten on 45 and Keryn Ambler and Logan van Beek added 27 to effectively end the game with six wickets and 12 overs to spare. Game 3 Canterbury vs Otago (50 over match) Canterbury took the initiative by batting first but didn t get off to the start they were after. At 54 for 3 and looking 107

110 MEN S REPRESENTATIVE CRICKET vulnerable, Latham (67) and Nicholls(77) put on 99 for the fourth wicket. Todd Astle joined Nicholls once Latham had been dismissed and put the pressure back on the Otago bowlers with a 93 run partnership to ensure Canterbury would finish with a solid total of 267. Otago were in early trouble at 40 for four. The middle order put up a fight, with runs from Shaun Fitzgibbon (47) and Mark Craig (30) but it wasn t going to be enough with Otago eventually succumbing in the 43rd over to be all out for 187. It was a very good team bowling effort highlighted by Ryan McCones 4 for 24. GAME 4 Canterbury vs Wellington (50 over match) Wellington chose to bowl in helpful conditions and had Canterbury in early trouble at 29 for 2. Canterbury fought back reasonably well with contributions from Ambler (38) Nicholls (42) Dave Fulton (42) and McEwan (43 not out). Unfortunately no-one managed to go on and get a truly significant score however 248 for 8 was still competitive. Unfortunately for Canterbury, the bowling attack, which had bowled so well in all the previous games, didn t hit their straps early. Former Canterbury batsman Michael Papps scored a subdued 58 and Blundell (60) had their team 143 for 1. Again Canterbury came back with the ball picking up regular wickets Astle (3 for 45) but it was all too little, too late with Wellington finally running the total down in the last over with 3 wickets in hand. GAME 5 Canterbury vs Central Districts (50 over match) Central won the toss and their decision to bat may have looked to be the wrong one at 29 for 2 but the middle stepped up with Barnett top scoring with 69 from just 55 balls and a quick fire 41 from 25 balls from Badenhorst at the end saw them through to a very competitive 263 for 9. Canterbury s two youngest bowlers were the standouts with Ed Nuttall (4 for 38) and Theo van Woerkom (1 for 38). Canterbury got off to a solid yet conservative start losing their first wicket at 107 in the 24th over with Abraham (68) and Ambler (53). Unfortunately neither batsman was able to convert these starts into triple figures and once dismissed the Central spinners soon made scoring tough. With the run rate escalating, Nicholls (55 off 42) and McEwan (25 from 17) took to the bowling bringing the run rate down to just over 6 runs per over for the last few overs. Again, none of the set batsmen took the responsibility to get their side over the line and somehow Canterbury finished 7 runs short at the end of its 50 overs. GAME 6 Canterbury vs Northern Districts (T20 match) Having won the toss, Northern soon found themselves in trouble at 4 for 15 and 5 for 28 with some outstanding new ball bowling from Canterbury s two left arm pace men. All the Canterbury bowlers bowled beautifully and despite a couple of 30 s from Mitchell and former Canterbury allrounder Hiini, Northern could only manage 104 for 7 at the end of their 20 overs. Best bowling for Canterbury came from Lonsdale 2 for 13 from 4 overs and McEwan 3 for 24 from 4 overs. In reply Canterbury s two openers took to the Northern bowling with Abraham 22 and Ambler leading the way with an aggressive 65 not out from 50 balls overs show Canterbury pass the Northern score. Unfortunately a great win was tarnished with a slow over rate in Canterbury s fielding effort resulting in the loss of a point. GAME 7 Canterbury vs Auckland (T20 match) The second T20 match of the day was against a powerful and experienced Auckland side. Canterbury were inserted on a good batting pitch and were under pressure early with small contributions from most batsmen but no scores of significance from the top order. At 55 for 4 in the tenth over, Canterbury were in trouble but cameos from McEwan (28 from 17), Fulton (20 from 12) and power hitting from Frauentstein (30 from 11) saw 110 runs added in the following 10 overs leaving a competitive target of 165. Auckland s experienced openers Parlane (30 off 14) and McIntosh (46 off 36) got them off to a flyer reaching their hundred just 2 wickets down in around 10 overs. Canterbury fought back strongly led by captain Astle (1 for 23 from 4 overs) but it wasn t enough with Auckland getting across the line with three balls to spare. GAME 8 A warm-up injury resulting in several stitches to Joel Abraham s calf meant a quick replacement was needed and who better than one of the groundsmen. Jeff Case, on work experience for the summer with the Lincoln ground staff, replaced his broom for a bat and was in the starting line-up. Wellington chose to bat and got off to a solid start but for the first time in the tournament Canterbury, who up until now had been by far the best fielding unit, didn t turn up. Dropped catches and misfields were frequent and allowed dangerous players second chances. Murdoch (38 from 18) and Rhodes (30 from 15) took the score to a respectable 159 for 6. Best bowling for Canterbury McEwan (1 for 22) and Frauenstein (2 for 23). In reply, Astle (30 from 23) opened the batting with Nicholls (an impressive 51 from 32) had Canterbury off to a decent start but regular wickets and no top order batsman being there a the end meant Canterbury s run chase petered out 21 runs short. 108

111 MEN S REPRESENTATIVE CRICKET Canterbury A vs Tasmania A 3 day match Tasmania A was such a refreshing change for our A team players who are so used to playing our very familiar friends from down South. Our first hit out against the Aussies was a three-day match held at Burnside park. Canterbury won the toss and decided batting was the way to go first up and this proved to be the case, or should I say, Jeff Case! At 58 for 2 Jeff Case joined Greg Dawson (44) at the wicket and confidently went about constructing a very impressive 123. This was to be our first and only hundred of the A team season and included 15 4 s and one 6. Case was ably supported by Durham overseas exchange player Graham Clarke (61) who together put on 127 for the 4th wicket. Canterbury declared at 338 for 7 and had half an hour at the visitors at the end of the first day. This proved to be fruitful with Willie Lonsdale taking 2 scalps to have Tasmania in trouble at 12 for 2. The next morning the Tasmanians knuckled down and made it through to Nelson before losing their third wicket. Wickets fell at regular intervals from that time on with spinners Tim Johnston (4 for 33 from 15 overs) and Todd Astle (2 for 45) doing the damage in spinner-friendly conditions. All out for 185, Canterbury had a healthy lead of 153. Case was the top scorer in the 2nd innings with a confident 40 and breezy knocks from Astle (31 not out) van Beek (25) and Dave Fulton (22 not out) meant that Canterbury were in a position to declare on 172 for 6 and over all lead of 326. This time the visitors negotiated the last half hour of the day without the loss of a wicket. Day 3 was all the Tasmanians. A combination of a fine 132 from Doolan and some less patient and more wayward bowling from the Canterbury bowlers meant what should have been a tough target was achieved with relative ease and 6 wickets in hand. Canterbury A vs Tasmania A one day match Mainpower Oval was the venue for the final A match of the season. Canterbury won the toss on a used but perfectly good surface and played with confidence from ball one with Dawson (56) and Abraham (35) combining to put on 95 for the first wicket. All the Canterbury middle order made contributions in particular Todd Astle (64) and Logan van Beek (39). 284 for 9 looked to be an above par score and could have been more had there not been 3 run outs. The Canterbury team, full of confidence, took the field and immediately had the visitors in trouble as young left arm quick Ed Nuttall made early in-roads taking 2 for 17 from 6 overs. From that moment on the hosts were in complete control with all the bowlers on song. Wickets were shared with Holstein (2 for 18) and van Beek (2 for 22) being the pick. Tasmania A were eventually all out in the 40th over for just 137. SUMMARISED SCOREBOARDS v.

113 WOMEN S REPRESENTATIVE CRICKET Canterbury Magicians Canterbury Representative esentative Awards Magicians Batsman of the Year Magicians Bowler of the Year Magicians Player of the Year AE Satterthwaite RH Candy FL Mackay 2011/12 was a great season for the Canterbury Magicians. Having been unbeaten in the regular season and winning the T20 was a good reflection of how well the girls played and how all of the squad contributed at various times throughout the campaign. The introduction of new players to the extended squad was once again important and the likes of Hana Mauafu and Jacinta Savage took every opportunity with confidence and enthusiasm. These two young players showed that they have the capability of becoming very distinguished players in the future and it was fantastic to see their improvement during the season. Nat Cox also played a part in the squad and her effort was that of a player for the future. Another player to develop immensely during the season was Meg Kendal. Having had very limited experience at the domestic level, Meg really stood up and showed that she has huge potential within the Canterbury and New Zealand system. Her keeping, fielding and batting skills certainly provided the team with solidarity and confidence and her never say die attitude was a massive part of the team s success. Our more experienced seamers in Kelly Anderson, Hayley Jensen, Rachel Candy and Lea Tahuhu were again as good a bowling unit as any in the country; in fact I believe that they were by far and away the best in the country. Game after game, these girls performed and dominated in every match. Although Rachel Candy was the pick of this very good attack and was rewarded by gaining New Zealand selection, it was always pleasing to see her ably backed up and a good team unity was apparent when we took the field. Francis Mackay was her usual dominating self throughout the season. She played some outstanding innings and bowled with guile and patience. Her skill on many occasions was exceptional and her competitive attitude, although occasionally controversial, was second to none in our team. For me, I now hope she carries that into the international arena. Erin Bermingham had another great season. Having had shoulder surgery shortly before the domestic season started meant she was behind in terms of bowling loads and the like but her skill and toughness shone through on many occasions. The way she bowled to some of New Zealand s best batters was outstanding and it will be a matter of time until she is back to 100% and, in turn, back in the New Zealand team. Mandie Godliman was again a huge asset to the Magicians team. Her experience and enthusiasm throughout the season was brilliant and her passion for the game is contagious. For me, seeing Mandie develop into one of our most aggressive batters in the T20 format sets the standard in relation to not being too old to keep learning, developing and improving. I m sure she has another season or so left in her! Janet Brehaut played some very important innings during the campaign, the most important being that in the T20 final. Janet has unlimited potential and the team saw glimpses of that on various occasions. Her fielding was excellent and the half century she scored against ND was an example of this. Her power down the ground is second to none in domestic cricket. She is definitely a player to watch in the future. Amy Satterthwaite was, as usual, one of the best in the country in all facets of the game. Her captaincy and leadership skills have developed tremendously and the confidence she gives the team is vital to our success. She batted and bowled brilliantly throughout the season and her hundred against Wellington was exceptional. Having a player of Branch s class and professionalism makes any 111

114 WOMEN S REPRESENTATIVE CRICKET coach s job a lot easier and this was certainly the case this season, particularly with the repercussions of the February quake. I would personally like to acknowledge our sponsors and thank our manager Tere Bissell, who did a great job and her caring nature was greatly appreciated. Also, I must say a very appreciative cheers to Richard Hayward, Trudy Anderson and Lee Germon. Their support and commitment to the Magicians and to me personally, has been incredible. Without a doubt we could not have asked for more. To The Southern Trust who continue to provide such valuable support to our Canterbury Magicians team in so many areas, we all say a special Thank You. Your support has been very much appreciated and we hope we have done you proud. Finally, having now finished my time coaching the Magicians and having settled back into the Northland lifestyle, I would like to say thanks to everyone who helped me become a Cantab. There have been many who have provided me with support and guidance for the 15 years that have I played or coached within the CCA set up. I have loved my time in Christchurch and am very proud to have played and coached for such a fantastic province without a doubt, the best in New Zealand! Stephen Cunis 112

124 WOMEN S REPRESENTATIVE CRICKET Canterbury Under 21 Women CANTERBURY UNDER 21 WOMEN Back row (left to right): Hanna Mauafu, Hayley Aburn, Courtney Buckman, Haley Banks, Natalie Cox, Hannah Malloch, Emma Hartland, Rowan Milburn (Coach). Front row (left to right): Hannah Linton, Hayley Jensen, Camille Hughes, Jacinta Savage (Captain), Laura Hughes, Kayla Murray, Lisa Moore. Inset: Jane Brehaut (Manager) The 2011/12 season saw New Zealand cricket change the format from a National Development Tournament to a National Under 21 tournament. This had very little impact on the selection of the side as it had predominantly involved under 21 players in the past. The team was selected after 8 weeks of winter training and then two trial games against Otago in Timaru. These games showed the depth of talent of the emerging female cricketers in Christchurch and made selection a difficult process. The focus of winter training had been developing a range of scoring shots, particularly against slower bowlers, fitness and developing a more comprehensive game plan aligned to Twenty20 cricket. This had been identified as an area to improve on from the 2010 Development tournament. The tournament was held in mid December and involved four 50 over games, a rest day and three Twenty20 fixtures. The team made a fantastic start to the tournament, beating Wellington in a rain-affected match. Canterbury batted first and scored 122. Lisa Moore top scored with 29 and Hayley Aburn contributed a significant 25 off 33 balls in the middle order. Canterbury did exceptionally well to defend this low score, bowling Wellington out for 85. Camille Hughes took five wickets with her medium pace out swing deliveries and was well-supported by captain Jacinta Savage and Hayley Jensen with the ball. The second day saw the team play Central Districts also in a 50 over match. Canterbury batted first and made 163. Emma Hartland and Hannah Linton were the leading run scorers combining well together to finish with 29 and 26 respectively. Central Districts managed to chase the total down for the loss of seven wickets. This was a closer match 122 than the statistics suggest and a disappointing game to lose. The team then faced Northern Districts, who are a very capable side at this level. Canterbury came out on top winning a close game by two wickets. This was particularly satisfying as we chased down 176 and the batsmen handled the scoreboard pressure well. Laura Hughes played outstandingly well for her 26 and Jacinta Savage scored a run-a-ball 27. Hartland, Hughes and Mauafu took two wickets each to limit Northern to 176. Taking momentum into the Auckland game, the team felt confident after improving as the week progressed. Unfortunately, Auckland proved too strong on the day winning by six wickets. Auckland is currently the top Under 21 side in the country and Canterbury performed well against them overall. Canterbury made 187 with Emma Hartland opening the innings and scoring a fantastic 73. Emma held the innings together and showed maturity and patience at the crease well beyond her years and experience at this level. Other contributors were Hayley Banks (20) and Laura Hughes (18). Auckland was too strong however and scored the required runs for the loss of only four wickets. Hannah Malloch was the pick of the Canterbury bowlers. The team then moved into the Twenty20 phase of the competition. Canterbury met Otago first, making a very competitive 166 for 5. The innings of Hayley Jensen, scoring 70 off 40 balls, in my opinion, was one of the highlights of the tournament. She hit the ball cleanly and hit seven boundaries in the innings. There was also a significant contribution again by Emma Hartland, who played an accumulation role but still ended with 51 from 55 balls, her second half century of the tournament. This total was out

125 WOMEN S REPRESENTATIVE CRICKET of Otago s reach being dismissed for 98. Hanna Mauafu was the best of the Canterbury bowlers picking up four wickets. This was an outstanding all round performance from the girls. Canterbury then faced arch rivals Auckland again, this time in a Twenty20 fixture. Again, we batted first but this time only accumulated 87, being disappointingly dismissed inside twenty overs. Hayley Jensen was again impressive with the bat top scoring with 23 off 25 balls. Auckland rapidly chased this total down in 11.3 overs and for the loss of only two wickets. This provided a reality check for the girls and highlighted the gap between the two sides. Our final game of the tournament was an opportunity to finish positively. We faced Central Districts who have always proved worthy opponents in past tournaments. Canterbury batted first and Hayley Jensen and Lisa Moore top scored with 23 and 24 respectively. These contributions however were not enough to build a competitive total and we struggled through to 100 in our 20 overs. We fought hard in the field but an outstanding 59 off 50 balls from one of the Central District openers meant our total was never going to be enough. This gave Canterbury a final standing of fourth in the tournament which was a disappointing result overall. There were however glimpses of the talent in this side which is encouraging for the future and our ability to pick up wickets was much improved from the year before. It was a great learning curve for young captain Jacinta Savage, who showed she has a lot of potential in this area and, with the support of her players, will continue to develop as a fine captain. I have high expectations of my players and I appreciated the hard work they put in to both winter and pretournament training. This team is a talented group of girls that love the game and I wish them all the best for next year s tournament and their cricketing futures.

Absent: James Tucker, Glen Drake The Canterbury team finished 4th at the National Under 18 Tournament for The team didn t win enough key moments to place higher on the points table. The averages will suggest that the batting unit was not consistent enough and ultimately failed to convert some starts into innings of substance. Given the superb batting conditions it was disappointing the batsmen couldn t cash in. The exception was Ken McClure who achieved 300 runs at an average of 60 with a high score of 127no v Northern Districts. Ken (3rd) was the only Canterbury batsmen to feature in the top 10 batting averages for the tournament. Unfortunately an injury sustained in the last one-day match prevented Ken from playing in the last 3 games. Canterbury managed 1 century and 8 half-centuries for the tournament. Ben Ward and David Wakefield made 2 fifties each. Three Canterbury bowlers placed in the top 10 wickettakers for the tournament: Hamish Robertson (2nd equal), Sam Chamberlain (6th) and Thomas Meyrick (7th equal). Hamish, a left arm orthodox spin bowler, finished with a haul for 18 wickets with the highlight being 5-9 v Otago. He battled back problems throughout the tournament, which necessitated physio treatment every morning, and was only able to bowl one spell in most innings. Delivering over 100 demanding overs, at times in obvious discomfort, was a commendable effort. Sam Chamberlain returned the next best bowling figures in the team with 4-45 v Central Districts. Outside of those 2 performances with the ball, no one was able to take more than 2 wickets in an innings over the entire tournament. The challenge for the bowlers as a unit was being able to create pressure for longer periods. The margin for error was very small in the batting-friendly conditions experienced on the pitches at the Lincoln grounds. The ability for the players to hit areas consistently appeared to wane as the tournament progressed. Leo Carter performed well as captain in his first Under 18 National tournament. Making decisions in the heat of battle over 3 different playing formats is not easy. Leo had the respect of his players and finished with the 2nd highest batting average in the team. Freddy Anderson had 13 dismissals as wicket-keeper, which placed him 2nd for the tournament. Many thanks to Mike Johnston for his invaluable efforts as manager/assistant coach. His experience was called upon numerous times and his post-match points challenges are always a highlight. Congratulations to Ken McClure and James Tucker who gained selection into the final 30 man New Zealand Under 19 World Cup squad. The tournament exposed the players to a higher level of cricket and allowed them to compare themselves against the best Under 18 players from around the country. Those who are able to reflect on their experiences and work hard to improve will go a long way to achieving their potential in the game. Andrew Reid Coach 127

136 MEN S UNDERAGE CRICKET Canterbury Secondary Schoolboys The Canterbury Secondary Schoolboys team once again attended the Frank Grattan Cup tournament in Auckland at the end of March. The first game against Hamilton schools was reduced to a 35 over game due to rain. Canterbury lost the toss on a very green wicket and soon found scoring difficult, no batsman being able to contribute anything substantial and the team were dismissed for only 115. The Hamilton boys also found conditions tough and, with some demanding bowling and outstanding fielding, Canterbury was able to exert considerable pressure. The result came down to the last over, Hamilton needing two runs and Canterbury one wicket. Unfortunately Hamilton scrambled the winning runs. Young Morgan Jeffery (15) bowled extremely well taking 4/20. Unfortunately key strike bowler James Tucker was injured early in this match and was to take no further part in the tournament. Game two was against Auckland B. Captain Leo Carter won the toss and elected to bat first. An outstanding innings from 16 year old Anthony Burnett of 123 was the backbone of our total of 258/4 with Leo Carter also adding a polished unbeaten 57. Again the Canterbury boys bowled well with Dexter Marsh being the key destroyer taking 4/35 and restricting Auckland to 212, a win to Canterbury by 46 runs. The last game was the final against Auckland A. Canterbury again won the toss and elected to bat on a very good surface. The Auckland bowling attack were very demanding in pace and extracted challenging bounce from the pitch and none of the Canterbury batsmen was able to combat the situation, the team being dismissed for a very disappointing 115 which Auckland comfortably chased down for the loss of only three wickets. The members of the Canterbury Secondary Schoolboys team were: Captain: Coach: Leo Carter Freddy Anderson Jack Boyle Anthony Burnett Glen Drake Jeremy Duncan Morgan Jeffery Dexter Marsh Alex Marshall Nathan Shaw James Tucker David Wakefield Mike Johnston Summarised Scoreboards 25 March, overs Canterbury 115 lost Hamilton (M Jeffery 4-20) by 1 wicket 26 March, overs Canterbury (A Burnett 123, L Carter 57 no) beat Auckland B 212 (D Marsh 4-35) by 46 runs 27 March, overs Canterbury 115 lost to Auckland A by 7 wickets 134

137 CLUB CRICKET Club and Youth Cricket Introduction As the new season dawned, there was much interest, and no little intrepidation, as to how the ongoing earthquakes would impact on playing numbers. Club cricket started with about 20 teams short of the previous season s quota and these numbers impacted particularly on the alreadyfragile numbers in Women s cricket and in the lowest ranked of our Adult morning grades. The afternoon grades were largely unaffected and a sporting afternoon provide a welcome release from ongoing personal issues emanating from the earthquakes. As well, there had been feverous activity to get some of our cricket parks ready for the season s opening; Sydenham Park and Elmwood Park were uppermost in this category. Canterbury Cricket, conscious of this need and very mindful that clubs are finding funds hard to come by, embarked on a programme of autumn and spring pitch renovations. As well, the collegiality of the clubs in working together by sharing grounds was appreciated by all the cricket community. Clubs, under some duress, did a tremendous job in attracting junior players to the game and it was great to note plenty of Saturday morning activity in the suburban parks. Adult Cricket The Premier One Day competition occupied most of the Saturdays prior to Christmas. Canterbury Country was the front runner for much of this competition with Peter Fulton showing very good early season form. The Canterbury Under 20 side, for the most part, continued the form that had seen it win this grade the previous season. The rest of the clubs were scrambling to fill the other semi final berths. However, it was St Albans who timed its run to perfection with James O Gorman providing two splendid innings of real quality in the semi final against the heavy favourites in Canterbury Country, and in the Final against the defending champions. So, it was St Albans the victor, and this club would be representing Canterbury at the National One Day Tournament in Auckland. This they did with considerable skill, only to fall at the final hurdle to finish runner-up. The Premier Twenty20 took a new format this season by moving away from the tournament format played over Show Weekend to a league format. This was forced upon the grade due to there being an extra Saturday in the season. Rain curtailed two rounds and, somewhat surprisingly, Lancaster Park Woolston won this competition. In the Senior A grade, there were concurrent competitions of One Day and Twenty20, and it was a dominant Southern Districts side that was the force in these formats. Rain ensured a shared title with Sumner in the Twenty20, but the bat of James Knight dominated the One Day Final against Halswell. Premier Women s cricket lacked numbers. Canterbury Cricket decided to form a Development XI made up of the remnants of the St Albans team from the previous year plus one promising young player supplied by each of the other clubs on a rotational basis. While not ideal, this allowed four teams to participate in a competition that ran until the Magicians domestic season began. Following this, a number of Conference matches took place between those players not involved in the representative, White Ferns and New Zealand Development team programmes. Once the various representative players returned, a Twenty20 series saw the conclusion of a rather unsatisfactory season for all. In simple terms, more players at this level are needed. Post Christmas saw the whites of the Two Day competitions replacing those of the coloured clothing variety. In the Premier grade, the usual suspects in St Albans and East Shirley were fighting for honours although the highly-promising Burnside West Christchurch University was bringing back memories to those old enough to remember the 1970s by leading the table going into the final round of matches. Any of three teams could win the Premier trophy approaching the last Saturday in March; but it was St Albans who gained the precious outright win to clinch the title and make it 6 titles in the last 11 seasons. Mention should be made of East Christchurch Shirley s season. This team had undertaken a serious loss of experience with the departure and retirements of Scott Pawson, Michael Papps, Ryan Burson, Shane McConnell and others; credit must go to the club and in particular Tim Papps and Nev Lyons. Their season had started disastrously in the early days of October and November but a growing confidence and form saw them finish a very satisfying runner-up in this form of the game. Southern Districts completed the hat trick by winning 135

138 CLUB CRICKET the Senior A Two Day trophy albeit sharing another trophy, this time with Merivale Papanui. There is strong case for the introduction of bonus points in this grade as they would reward performance, further provide for playing matches out to their natural conclusion and ensure that, in all probability, that there would be a champion team. Club Team of the Season : Keryn Ambler Lancaster Park Woolston CC Jeff Case Marist Harewood CC Michael Davidson St Albans CC Greg Dawson St Albans CC Braden Gardner Sydenham CC Sean Heather Sydenham CC Aaron Johnstone (captain) St Albans CC Matt McEwan Old Boys Collegians CC Jason Pawson East Christchurch Shirley CC Gerry Penford St Albans CC Ben Rapson Sydenham CC Peter Younghusband Marist Harewood CC Youth Cricket With the Youth season starting in January and finishing in December to mirror the academic school year, the February earthquake dramatically altered the competition landscape. It saw the One Day competition fully completed, but the prestigious Two Day competition saw two pools play a round-robin then each pool winner play-off for the title; while the final standings did not truly reflect the ability of the teams, it did have the capacity to provide a winner; rain had the final say in this competition. Christchurch Boys High School 1 st XI shared the title with St Andrew s College while Christchurch Boys High again shared the One Day title with Christ s College who went on to represent Canterbury with distinction in the National Gillette Cup tournament at Lincoln University where they finished as runners-up. Social Cricket Action Corporate Cricket This popular competition, which runs on Monday nights, suffered in numbers through some player flight from the earthquakes to Auckland. However, as always, it was played with great enthusiasm; this season there was a semi final/finals format and front runners Team Hutchison entered the semis as the only unbeaten team but stumbled to their commercial and playing opponent in Mitsubishi Ninja Falcons. Riccarton Reversing Forklifts brought all their rugby refereeing knowledge, poise and fitness, and some skill, to bear in the final where their experience under pressure saw them win the trophy for consecutive years. Another highlight of the season was the first victory in their four years in the tournament of Skillwise Lions. The Craig McMillan Series This was a new initiative between Canterbury Cricket and Sport Canterbury that saw a series established that catered for people with intellectual disabilities from the Hohepa Trust, Skillwise and Intellectual Disability Empowerment in Action groups. Five teams took part in two modules either side of Christmas. Canterbury Cricket was delighted that Craig McMillan, former Canterbury and New Zealand player, agreed to lend his name to this series which proved a great success with the Skillwise Vikings bringing their experience and good form to run out the inaugural winners of a tournament that will be repeated in the season. Well done to all the teams and helpers involved in this tournament. Acknowledgements Many areas contribute to the fabric of club cricket. It couldn t exist without the enthusiasm and endeavour of the committee people who provide their voluntary service to their respective clubs and to the game they love. The efforts of the members and supporters of the Lancaster Park Woolston CC deserve acknowledgement for the way they faced up to the crisis that confronted them in February They had lost their cricket facility: access to their pavilion, their practice facility, their home ground, diminished playing numbers in the adult and junior ranks. As a club bound by history, success and possessed of good leaders and good will, they re-emerged at Hagley Oval out of the Hadlee pavilion which was to house them for the coming season. Their enthusiastic approach and bloody-mindedness to succeed was a fine example to all involved in Christchurch club cricket. It is humbling yet exciting to visit the club grounds each Saturday to see the covers being removed, the ground staff providing the last important touches to the pitches, the juniors in full flight learning the game, to see the umpires producing the tape measure to double check the pitch measurements, to note the hot water on the boil and lunches being made, and see the scorers settle in to another day of writing, calculation and concentration; and, of course, the coaches putting their players through the various drills that will better-equip them for the day ahead. All this before 10.30am when the parents and spectators arrive to enjoy our great game. 136

139 CLUB CRICKET My grateful thanks go to our Code of Conduct commissioners who give of their time and expertise freely. Theirs was a relatively quiet season for the second consecutive season. Canterbury Cricket is pleased with this trend as it works hand in hand with the captains and umpires of our senior grades, and the clubs in general, to ensure the game is played as it was meant to be: in a positive and competitive environment within the bounds of the Laws of the Game as well as the Spirit of the Game. The umpires carry out their role because it provides them with their recreation and enjoyment. Canterbury Cricket is very grateful for all their endeavours. Theirs is no easy task because, as players, we all know better. Only most of the players do not wish to umpire or, when finished their playing career, give something back to the game. Canterbury Cricket would ask that clubs and past players give serious consideration to turning a hand to umpiring as the diminishing numbers of last season is nearing crisis point. The scorers of our respective club teams must not be left out of dispatches. Their role is crucial to our Premier grade in not only producing accurate and professional records of each innings but also contributing to the full scoreboards that can be found in the print media and on our website. Canterbury Cricket appreciates their contribution. Canterbury Cricket wishes to acknowledge the tremendous support that is provided by The Mainland Foundation, and in particular to Club cricket and to the Canterbury Cricket Umpires and Scorers Association.
