DEEPDENE BEARS CRICKET CLUB The Deepdene Bears Cricket Club is proud to be affiliated with the Eastern Cricket Association. We fielded four teams in the turf competition, one in the synthetic grade and 5 junior teams in the ECA this season. We extend our thanks and congratulations to the umpires and the tireless volunteers of the ECA who ensure that we all get on the park. At the other end of the scale we have 2 teams in the Veterans Division of the ECA competition that started this season. You will note that this is the 96th annual report. Our playing facilities are provided by the City of Boroondara and we thank the staff for their professionalism and assistance. We are a community club and we provide a resource that enables both the wider community and the citizens of Boroondara to participate in the great game of cricket. Our sponsors are:

HISTORY Deepdene is the oldest continuously playing Club in the Eastern Cricket Association. Each year we play Canterbury (when they are in Dunstan) for the Boroondara Cup. This award was instituted during the centenary year of the ECA when we played for the honour on the Camberwell Sports Ground. The Deepdene Bears Cricket Club is fast approaching its "Century Season". Fortunately a considerable effort over many seasons has seen the documentation of many individual, grade, team & club records. In addition, the club’s foundation in 1920 has been pieced together using local papers of the time (Hawthorn & Camberwell Citizen) and where possible pictures and memorabilia from the descendants of past players. We have been very fortunate to have a copy of the 1924/25 premiership photo donated to the Club which now forms part of our historical collection in the Sturgess Pavilion at Deepdene Park. By way of background, the Deepdene Cricket Club was very strongly linked to the Deepdene Congregational Church, which was once located on the corner of Whitehorse Road and Leonard Street where the Winning Edge now stands. The club began as a social team before forming in August 1921 and played in a paddock in Norbett Street, Balwyn in 1921 and then at Deepdene Park from 1923 on land donated by Mr Alexander MacNeil. Deepdene Park officially opened in August 1924. The area was still developing in the 1920s with many new estates being built in Deepdene/Balwyn yet much of the area north of Gordon Street still existed as open spaces, paddocks, chicken runs and dairies. Today the suburb and surrounding areas are well established, as is the cricket club. One of the great milestones occurred in 1996 when North Kew Cricket Club, who had the Bears as their emblem, merged with the Deepdene Cricket Club bringing with them their own rich oral history. As exemplified by the statistical chronicle Wisdene, Deepdene maintains a strong written history. Many of the North Kew scorebooks were lost in a disaster (fire, flood or divorce depending on who you speak to) so we have to rely on history being passed on from generation to generation. In the same way that this is a valid tradition in indigenous society, it is fun to corner a North Kew elder so that he can evoke stories of the dream time when as Box Hill Districts they played in the Eastern Suburbs Cricket Association as the top team in A Matting. In the ESCA, North Kew first XI hovered around the B/C Turf grades and at one stage had the most feared attack in C Turf. The strong junior program from North Kew is the basis for today’s junior Bears activities.

SECRETARY’S REPORT – JAMES PATERSON (The Hangover Part 2) After the success of the previous season the committee worked hard planning the new season to ensure that the Club would have continued success with some coaching and leadership changes in the lower grades to overcome some issues that had occurred in the past. Unfortunately there were a number of distractions however we decided to enter a 5XI at the last minute and I’m glad we did. The season started well with 4 of the teams well placed to make the finals at Christmas however loss of form, dodgy hammy’s and a series of close losses in the 1s and 3s conspired to mean that only the 2s and 4s made the finals where they were both unlucky. The 1XI have been well led by Leigh Parsons for 5 seasons and I have had the pleasure of working closely with Parso over this time. The professional approach he has brought to all things cricket from planning, training, match days etc has lifted the standard across the club and I thank him for his leadership during his time as skipper. The 2XI led this season by Dan had a side that were expected to struggle in the higher grade but ultimately should have made the GF despite having to assist the 1XI in their battle to not finish in the bottom 4. It was great to have Dan’s enthusiasm and voice back around the Club in a leadership role with Liam coming along as well as some light entertainment and the sight of him running out to talk to Dad about how he went just after he had holed out brought a few laughs in a normally testy time. The 3XI led by JD, who dropped down to resolve a leadership void in this team, played a lot of younger players and were very competitive with George in particular making a lot of runs but they just couldn’t win enough of the close games. The 4XI and 5XI led by the Warner Brothers (Charlie and Mark) established a strong culture in their teams, mixing youth with experience and I hope they want to continue in the future as the first season as Captain is such a steep learning curve and it becomes easier after that. It is very easy to support Captain’s that lead with a strong work ethic although Charlie you can bowl downhill at Deepy rather than up. Phil Dunmill co-ordinated the juniors very well as per usual with others assisting and his award was most deserving. The Committee also worked hard to arrange great dinners, social events Comedy night was one of the best ever) and bar service at both venues and a big thank you to all involved particularly Wolfie and Luke. Phil and Jason are stepping down from Committee and I thank them for their friendship and efforts on behalf of the Bears over a number of seasons. As usual more challenges will emerge for next season like the nets and turf issues at Straddy, larger covers, turf review etc and more help can always be used. I took a month off in November to visit the USA and it was good to see that things ran smoothly except for the loss of the swipe to Straddy. Thank you to Heather and to Matt for all the unofficial support.

PRESIDENT’S REPORT - PHIL WARNER Dear Players, Members, Supporters and Sponsors The season started with everyone looking forward to building on the successes of the 2014/15 season. We welcomed new members to the Committee with Andrew Watt as Treasurer and Charlie Warner bringing their own ideas and enthusiasm to the Committee, the appointments of Shaun Beattie as Coach and Daniel Sturgess as Assistant Coach to revitalise training and support for players to improve team and individual performances. In addition, many new players joined the Club and this enabled us to maintain a Fifth Eleven despite the loss of a number of players. There was continued on field success with Premierships for the Under 16B and Under12Cs and finals appearances for the Seconds, Fourths, Under 14A and Vets teams. The relegation of the Firsts from Dunstan Shield is a major disappointment but now provides the opportunity for everyone to work towards a prompt return to that level. Congratulations to the Coaches, Captains, CoS Mike Hudson and Junior Coordinator Phil Dunmill, on their leadership of the cricket activities, the teams on match day and the results. It is exciting to see many juniors playing in the senior teams, enjoying individual success and developing into quality young men. Cricket is a team game and every player has had a role in the Club successes during the season. Success comes from a united effort and commitment to improving all aspects of the Club operations. Our ongoing negotiations with the City of Boroondara on the proposed relocation of the Club’s senior matches and training from Deepdene Park to Stradbroke Park have not resulted in any action by the Council as was hoped at the start of the season. Nevertheless we expect the Council to announce the design and site of the new cricket nets and a timetable for the construction of the turf wicket table on the northern ground at Stradbroke Park in the coming weeks. Jay Knee and I are standing down from the Committee. Jay has been a quiet achiever on the Committee, providing a supporter perspective, fitness programs to the players, including preseason activities and in recent times been a key person in managing the clothing. We thank Jay for his efforts and look forward to his continued support for the Club. The time has come for me to stand down from being President. I have enjoyed the company of everyone involved with the Club, many of the opposition teams and the ECA. There have been some challenges; however, the past three years are dominated by many positive events and experiences on and off the cricket field. It has been a great honour and privilege to be the President. Thanks to Maxine for her support, including attending many Club events. Our Club is extremely fortunate to have fantastic major sponsors, Winenergy, Paint Spot, Bendigo Bank, Winequip and Harp of Erin Hotel. This sponsorship, along with the encouragement of our supporters on match days and contributions to social events and the major fund raising activities, is vital to the success of the Club. Thank you everyone for your past and future support. The season ahead is an opportunity to learn from the disappointments of last season, build on the many on field and off field successes and for every player, sponsor and supporter to commit to improving the performance of the Club on and off the field.

FIRST XI CAPTAIN’S REPORT - LEIGH PARSONS No one does a premiership hangover quite like the 1st team. Unfortunately, history repeated itself and we put in a shocker following our flag just as we had done four years earlier. This time, however, there were less excuses as we hadn't had a lot of retirements; everything appeared as though we were primed for another tilt at finals. We managed to recruit Sam Grose to replace Nick Dinnison who wanted to have a crack at Premier Cricket and there were plenty of younger players fighting for the batting spot opened up by Justin Strempel’s retirement. The Christmas break came at an interesting time with the 1sts sitting in 5th position; however, we had not fired a shot and were playing well below the standard that we have come to expect. There was a lot of talk that things would click after the break and we were in a great position to launch from; how wrong we were! We returned from the break seemingly having lost the ability to hold the bat and we witnessed one batting collapse after another. The fact that we did not pass 150 after Christmas highlights the scale of the run drought. Throughout all our batting woes we managed to continue setting an extremely high standard with the ball. Danny O'Shea led the way in this department and ensured that no matter how small the target we were in the game at all times. The development of Patrick Slingo was also most pleasing. In his 4th season of Dunstan Cricket he elevated his game and become a consistent wicket taker throughout the year. Sam Grose also came into the fold and bowled some damaging spells and he will play a key role in getting us back into the Dunstan Shield. Despite getting relegated there are still a lot of positives when we look to the future. Andrew Zaicos performance this year was outstanding. He set the standard at training and deserved his results onfield. His 126 against Bulleen was without doubt the individual highlight for the year. Jacob Bevacqua and Shannon Grass also played significant roles in the top order this year and will be key batters for us moving forward. It will be a changing of the guard next year and an exciting time of new opportunities for the club. Twotime premiership player Tim Hoare is still deciding whether his body has another year of toil in it or not. He helped take us from a consistently good club who could never take the last step to a club that made 3 Grand Finals and won 2 Flags in a 4-year period. He will be forever remembered for reducing North Balwyn to 3 for 8 in last season’s Grand Final and giving us a stranglehold on the flag. Also, after five years of Captaincy I will be stepping down from the role. It has been a very rewarding time with a lot of high points. Obviously breaking through for our first ever Dunstan Flag was incredible and it is a memory that I will always cherish. Before I took on the role I had no idea how much work went into running the Club. I step back now with a far greater appreciation for the work that the committee do. It is endless and thankless work but those people are the reason that the Club is so strong. A huge personal thank you to everyone who has supported me along the way. It is simply an amazing place to play cricket and it has been a privilege to lead this Club for five years.

SECOND XI CAPTAIN’S REPORT - DAN STURGESS Having won the C Grade premiership and stepping up to B Grade was always going to be a big challenge. Add to the mix that we had 27 players come through the team and we did not have the same 11 players together back to back for the season presents even further challenges. Our season finished with 7 wins 3 losses and a draw and we finished second on the ladder which was a great effort. We played in many close games throughout the year and the team spirit all season was fantastic. Our semi- final didn’t go to plan and we lost by a single run and failed to qualify for the Grand Final which we would have won by the way because as history shows the Bears don’t lose Grand Finals. Rather than reflect on the negatives and how disappointing it was to lose a semi, let’s focus on the following players that stepped up and were a shining light for the Club this year, and hopefully for many years to come - Michael Bell, Nick Dunmill, Todd Kitchen, Daniel Vardi, Jeremy Quin and Angus Lane all became regular Second Eleven players for the first time for the Club. Each should be really proud of their efforts this year and we look forward to watching you lads keep improving and becoming great Deepy First Eleven players in the future. It was great to have Alex Rackow as part of our side throughout the year. He has some talent without doubt but more to the point he is a fantastic person that fitted in perfectly with the group. I would like to thank the Bell family for providing him with a great family set up at their home that helped him enjoy his season with the Bears. James Lindsay and Dave Morello provided some great leadership and support throughout the season and Dave’s season with both bat and ball was fantastic. He won the Batting Averages for the season which was a great reward and played a vital role in us winning many games. Well done on your year. Jeremy Quin was a real standout this year for our side. He matured really well on the field and we loved what he brought to the team each week. He led the team with the new ball each week and took out the bowling averages, which was a great credit to someone that has spent the previous years playing in lower grades. We again will need Quinny to take his game to another level next season and keep improving. Nick Dunmill, Daniel Vardi and Angus Lane all played vital roles within our team and gave us a real boost when they started playing around Christmas time and I am excited to watch these 3 push for regular First Eleven games next year. Special note to Angus Watson and Tod Kitchen who both missed out on a Final’s spot; however, stuck around and supported the team and both these guys are great clubmen that will lift to another level next season. The seconds need to be the platform and we hope we have played our part this year in unearthing some new talent and we hope the likes of Ben Hudson, Josh Avitable, Nathan Wade Sushil Bist, James and Lucas Watt, Damian Mueller all now take the next step up and push for regular Second Eleven cricket and beyond as this is the way for the club to push forward. Clearly as a club we are going through a little bit of a rebuild at the top end and that is fine because at some stage every club faces challenges/changes of personnel and it will be great to watch us become a force again with a few new recruits and all the youth coming through to push the Bears back into Dunstan and hopefully another period of premiership success down the track.

JD thanks for being a great clubman and offering me a chance to lead the seconds this season after you skippered the side to a flag last year. It’s a true reflection on your character and passion for the club mate to step down and skipper the thirds. Also to Mick Hudson for all your work with selection and obviously to Phil Warner and his hard working committee for backing me in to do the job. Finally to Parso who is standing down as skipper of the ones but definitely not lost to this great Club thanks mate for all your dedication and leadership in a really great period of success for the Club. Exciting times ahead for the Bears.

THIRD XI CAPTAIN’S REPORT - JASON DONOVAN After just missing the finals the year prior, the 3XI had high expectations coming into 2015/16. The overriding theme from leadership was to develop the skills – both physical and mental - of the young cricketers (16-25) coming through the grades to prepare them for cricket at a higher level. With a good mix of senior cricketers throughout the team also, we were looking to play finals in March. We fell well short of the wins target for the year. We competed in pretty much every game; however, lapses throughout the day’s cricket cost us more often than not. Some close wins and close losses to start the season followed by a couple of poor performances had us falling a little behind the pack as we headed towards the xmas break. The last game before xmas being played out at Latrobe Uni against a team without a win. Unfortunately week two was not played due to the weather; however, week one was definitely a day to remember with Nick Dunmill batting through all 72 overs to remain undefeated on 153*. An absolute master class in batting! No surprise he was quickly promoted to the 2s and played a pivotal role for Dan’s team as they advanced towards finals. Nick wasn’t the only player who played in the 3s before being picked to play a role in the 2s. Nathan Wade, Sushil Bist, Harvey Brimicombe, Damian Mueller & Angus Lane also played at the higher level. While some of the other young cricketers took strides in their cricket at various times throughout the year, all to varying degrees of success. Lucas Watt, James Watt, Josh Avitabile, Callum Todaro, Jack Morris, Will Vergano, Jono Walshe & Ben Hudson were all valuable members of the team when available for the Club. A couple of good wins post Christmas against Donvale were highlights, but these were interspersed with some other tough losses which left us well out of finals contention. A disappointing win/loss ratio to end the year, but the wins we had with player development will see the club move forward in the future, hopefully as soon as the 2016/17 season. Congratulations to the award winners for the team throughout the year. Nathan Wade claiming the bowling award, improving every week as the season advanced. George Braoudakis easily winning the batting award with nearly 500 runs, while averaging just under 50 for the year, including six 50s - an amazing effort. A big thank you from all the players who rolled through the team throughout the season, it was a pleasure to lead you all. We tried to win games, but also have some fun and laughs while representing the club in the spirit of the game. To all the support, particularly Phil Warner & Phil Dunmill with their help regarding arvo teas. Thanks to all the captains and the chairman of selectors for their assistance throughout the year also, it really is a team effort.

FOURTH XI CAPTAIN’S REPORT CHARLIE WARNER th

The 2015/16 season for the 4 XI was extremely successful despite falling short in the semi final for the second year in a row. As a group we had a number of challenges to overcome, placed in a six team competition, we had an unusual fixture which focused mainly on one day games and we had number of byes in close succession. This coupled with a new leader in a team surrounded by previous captains and a focus on junior players made for some very interesting cricket. My goal for the year was to finish in the top 4, allowing us to play finals and to get the juniors more nd evolved in senior cricket. Finishing 2 overall with; 7 wins, 3 weather affected draws and 4 losses, we played in a weather affected semi final in front of a very vocal home crowd. Unfortunately it wasn’t to be our weekend, going down to the eventual premiers, Donvale, by 4 wickets. But what we saw in that game and throughout the season was the balance of young and experienced players coming together and working very well as a unit. th

Previous 4 XI teams have focused heavily on a number of older players and veterans establishing the back bone of the team, with a smaller number of junior players, allowing them a brief insight into senior cricket. But this was not a viable option for us this year due to the absence of a number of the older players and the influx of highly talented younger cricketers into the club. This created a unique th th opportunity to blood a number of junior players in both the 4 and 5 XI’s and during the season; we had 31 different people play for us and of them 16 were under the age of 20. Of those 16, the likes of Josh Avitabile, Nick Dunmill, Ben Hudson, Jack Morris, Callum Todaro, Will Vergano, James Watt and Lucus Watt all played in the 3XI or higher. The down side to having so many junior cricketers is that invariably, many are unavailable after Christmas due to other sporting commitments. This meant that we needed to tweak with the team th th balance of the 4 XI which often left the 5 XI looking for players late on Thursdays. This is a thankless task and it’s up to Mark Warner and Mike Hudson to find someone, often at short notice. This season we had a number of outstanding batting performance with Andrew Vawser getting 3 x 50+ scores, Josh Avitabile scoring 147 against EMT and Tim Johnston’s 128* against SH. We also had a number of 5 wicket halls with James Watt 5/4 against SH, Jac O’shea 5/13 against Mazenod and Chithalka Navaratna (CK) 5/45 also against SH. Needless to say, these individuals were just some of the outstanding contributors throughout the season. We also celebrated David Gorfine breaking the club record for the number of games played at the Deepdene Bears at over 407. Finally I would just like to thank everyone for an excellent year, in particular my Vice Captain Andrew Watt and senior players, Andrew Vawser and David Gorfine for all their support.

FIFTH XI CAPTAIN’S REPORT - MARK WARNER After some doubt with numbers at the start of the year, we were able to lock in a 5ths team thanks to some new and old players committing to play. Joining the one-day format was a successful move making weekly selection much easier. We had a good mix of players all year using a total 42 players, 13 of which were new to the club or seniors. We spent the whole season staying in touch with finals, and even held second spot for a few weeks. This was a great effort from the team after only getting one win last year. Unfortunately we lost some crucial games after the Christmas break and finished one game out of the finals. We saw some great personal achievements this season. Jack Forde who still plays under 16s won our th

bowling average and finished 6 in the club for total wickets, all in just his first season of senior cricket. We also welcomed Hamish Wild to the seniors who performed really well with both bat and ball. At the higher end of the age bracket we saw Trent Bockman score back to back hundreds, Kieran Forde averaged 60 with the bat, Mike Hudson earn his second batting average award in a row and myself with my first 50 for the club. Another new player into the club was Marcus Lingham. Marcus hadn’t played competitive cricket before but took his first wicket, made some runs and turned into one of the best fielders in the team. Consistent games from Chris Day, James Hands, Dan Morgan and many others also helped us throughout the year. Despite missing out on what would have been a well-deserved finals spot, overall we had a fantastic year and saw a huge improvement in both team and individual results compared to last year. Hopefully those new players to the club will return next year and continue a push into higher grades. The atmosphere at every game and the efforts from any player who joined us made the season a great success and really enjoyable to be a part of. In my first season as captain having the support of Paul Molloy, Chris Day and Mike Hudson in particular on the field was invaluable. Off-field we had Geoff Wild as our number one spectator every week and Phil Warner setting up our afternoon teas clearly the best in our grade. The support from each of you and the players throughout the year was invaluable and a big thank you to each of you. Let’s look forward to next year and Go Bears!

VETERANS – A GRADE - CAMERON DUNN This season saw the introduction of the ECA Vets competition so it was a bit of an unknown quantity for the side. We were placed in A Grade based on where we had played in the previous BHRDCA Vets comp. Given all of the changes in gradings, we really had no idea how the season was going to pan out. We had a number of injuries and players unavailable during the year, meaning that we weren't able to put our best side on the park every week, but the side did well all things considered. We had an up and down season, but in winning four games we did enough to qualify for the finals in 4th spot. In the SF we came up against the best side of the year in Kew, who after thumping us in round three repeated the dose and went into the grand final as favourites (lost). First season in the new ECA comp, and we finished a creditable 4th. We can be proud of our efforts and build from there next season.

VETERANS – C GRADE - TONY SMITH th

Another great season, the 7 in a row for the original crew in Chris Abery, David Honey, Rob Fatnowna, Paul Ward and Tony Smith. In a close fought league, we finished 3rd prior to finals, and were confident going to the Semi against what we believed was the weaker of the 2 top teams. Batting first we were dismissed for a dismal 69, with Edinburgh taking 10 catches to dismiss us (a number of which were classics). We rallied with in the field, and it took them 22 overs to overcome our mountainous total, which was slightly heartening but overall disappointing. Edinburgh then went on to defeat the unbeaten North Balwyn in the Grand Final in a last over win. We had some excellent new recruits, and having 19 on the list saw us with fairly healthy stocks for the year. Looking forward to 2016/17. Tony Smith

JUNIORS – PHILIP DUNMILL At the end of the season we had 58 boys and girls play across our under 10s through to our under 16s, of which 19 put the Bear’s cap on for the first time. In addition we had nine Milo participants and three boys play under 18s in a joint team with the Bulleen Cricket Club. To ensure all the boys/girls were able to play each weekend, we joined up with the Box Hill Cricket Club to get an under 14C team up and running. All of this resulted in a Deepdene Bears team being registered in every age level, the first time in a number of years. Along the way we had team success with two premierships and two runner ups: Premiers Joint Premiers Runner up Runner up T/20 U14A

U16B (Coaches: Paul Vergano/Kieran Forde) U12C (Coaches: Cameron Dunn/Anton Suresh U14A (Coach: John McLaughlan) (Coach: John McLaughlan)

As expected a number of the players had success throughout the season with selection in representative teams and Association averages. We also had nine players selected to play for senior nd th teams (2 - 5 XI) during the season. Representative players: Emu (U14 - Pathway representation) Craig Shield (U15 representation)

Liam Fitzpatrick Will Vergano, Jack Forde

ECA representation: U16 U14 U12

Ollie Smart Harrison Free, Finlay Macrae, Alex Hart Brinthan Mahadeva

Liam Fitzgerald won the U14A’s ECA batting average, Brinthan Mahadeva U14C’s bowling average and Jack Carey the U12C batting averages. This season the Club tried a new coaching set up, with the U14As coached by a past Deepdene Bears junior player, John McLaughlan. Unlike other teams who were coached by parents or juniors players on a voluntary basis, John was funded from additional fees from the U14As plus the Club. This coaching will also be considered in future years, dependent upon the teams, grade and available coaches. The outlook for 2016/17 will hopefully see the continuation of the Club registering teams in all age levels. This, however, raises the issue of ground availability, which has been highlighted by the Association and Boroondara Council, which may require age levels/grades to play on another day.

James Doolan, resigned early in 2015 and Phil Dunmill stepped up to finalise the books. The balance at the start of the year was $55,623.87 and finished at $48,239.16, but Club has significant stock of apparel unsold (around $5000).

SECRETARY’S REPORT:

ECA has started a Veterans competition and we have agreed to be in the new competition.

The City of Boroondara has not updated the Club on synthetic nets for next season but unlikely to be ready until latter part of next season if at all. Page 35 of 47

D.B.C.C. TROPHIES Peter Bakes Perpetual Trophy – Best Under 16 This trophy is named in recognition of the many years of work and commitment Peter Bakes has given to our Club’s junior teams in the roles of coach and team manager for the Junior teams. This trophy is awarded to the player in the highest graded junior team who aggregates the most number of points for batting and bowling based on the A T Dunstan formula. The inaugural winner was Luke Gartner in season 1999 / 2000. Danny O’Shea has won this award twice as has Kumail Cadekiwala.

H. C. Stanford Trophy – Fielding Award Is presented in honour of the late Councillor H. C. Stanford, a Chairman of the Deepdene Park Committee and awarded to the best fieldsman in the club as voted by match umpires. Struck in season 1958 / 1959, the first “H. C. Stanford Trophy” winner was W. Saggers. th

This trophy has been won a club record 5 times (in the 20 century) by Arthur Bell across 3 decades. H. C.(Harry) Stanford Trophy – The Captain shall award a vote for the player they consider to be the best fieldsman during each senior match. The player with the most votes shall be deemed the winner.

The Captain of each senior team will be responsible for handing the votes to the Secretary of the Executive Committee after each match. Votes shall be awarded for all home and away games played by the Club together with those Semi Final and Final games where all the Clubs teams are involved.

No spitting. No squirrel grips. Seriously folks, play the game in the great traditions of the game. Bad language on field is not accepted by either the Club or the Association. Our Neighbours It goes without saying that we respect our grounds and their collocation in a residential area. Welcome on-lookers and passers-by. Be cautious and courteous when retrieving balls and look for a spare ball in preference to scaling paling fences. Player Health & Safety The club will do all in its power to preserve the health and safety of players. Tangible examples of this are stretching and warm-up regimes, provision of clean and tidy rooms, Sun Smart compliance and the provision of helmets for all teams. We welcome comments feedback in this area.
