It is my pleasure to present the Chairman's report for the 2014/2015 season.

After a fantastic World Cup where our Black Caps won the hearts of the cricketing world we are looking forward to attracting more players, coaches, administrators and sponsors to South Canterbury cricket for the coming season.

The Board only had one change this year with Greg O'Brien not standing and I replaced him. Andrew McRae's increasing work commitments saw him stand down as chairman and I was elected to replace him. I would personally like to acknowledge and thank Andrew for his contribution and support he has given SC Cricket over the past 10 years, we are very fortunate to have someone with his skills and calibre continuing on the Board. I would also like to thank all the Board members for their time and commitment. A special mention to Mark Medlicott our Executive Officer who really is the face (voice & scribe) of South Canterbury cricket, the hours he puts into cricket and his commitment to the region would be hard to better.

Shane Gilkison has continued in the role of development officer and has performed an admirable role in delivering New Zealand Cricket programmes to our stakeholders. He continues to grow into the role and again, we are lucky to have his services.

Last season we hosted two one day games with both Central Districts and Auckland playing Canterbury on the 2nd and 5th of January respectively. While we have had some high quality cricket over the past 5 years the crowd numbers have been disappointing. Due to the high cost of maintaining the pitch and hosting the games we have decided not to host any First Class matches for the coming season.

After a very tough season last year, and the late withdrawal of coach Robyn Beeby for business reasons, the Hawke Cup team competed extremely well. With outright victories over Southland and North Otago and an away 1st innings win over Otago Country we were only 4 wickets from an outright against Mid Canterbury when rain stopped play. This ultimately cost us a Hawke Cup challenge. With a number of new players to the squad it was very pleasing to see the “team” really work hard and perform with credit. Our JAB teams also performed well with a Primary A team finishing 2nd equal at their South Island tournament and the Year 5 & 6 team 3rd.

Celtic again had an exceptionally successful season winning all three senior competitions: the Placemakers 20/20, the Daily Freightways one day trophy and the Tweedy Cup. They are a well administrated club and have significant depth as demonstrated by their relationship with Roncalli and their sound performances in the lower grades. It is extremely pleasing to see Pleasant Point entering the senior ranks in 2015/16, after winning the 2nd Grade competition, and with 5 junior teams they are numerically our second strongest Club. The continued growth in junior playing numbers in Waimate, Temuka and Geraldine is also pleasing and crucial to the survival of cricket in the Country regions. The Board has set Gilky and Artha some challenging goals around visits to all local Clubs and I encourage you all to make the most of their visits. These are designed to help develop our young keen cricketers and also provide support and guidance to coaches and managers.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank all of our loyal sponsors and also our supporters in the gaming industry this season. They continue to give generously to the Association. Please support our sponsors so they can continue to support us.

I would also like to thank all administrators, coaches, umpires and players for their time and commitment in ensuring the game is in good heart in this region.

As I've mentioned before the administration of the Association is here to serve the players and all volunteers at school and club level. Please feel free to contact me to discuss concerns or issues you may have at any time throughout the season.

S.C Cricket Association Annual Report 2014/15

INTRODUCTION

The 2014-15 season was yet another season of change for South Canterbury, with the World Cup meaning quite a change to the competition structure, especially in senior grade and also the effect the World Cup had on the Hawke Cup campaign.

There were also changes to the Board of control with David Fisher coming onto the Board and taking over the role of chairman from Andrew McRae due to his work commitments, although we did retain his services on the Board which was good. The Board consists of seven members which includes a players' representative and the Board now has a wide range of skills available with a mix of past players and businessmen with Board members now assigned to specific areas within our overall administration.

I have continued in the role of CEO and Shane Gilkison continued in his role as Cricket Development Officer delivering the development programme to school children throughout South Canterbury.

We have also utilised the coaching skills of Prabodha Arthavidu, a young cricketer from Sri Lanka who after two seasons has made a permanent home in Timaru with his wife and has proved very popular with Primary and Secondary school boys and girls and helped to ease Shane's role.

He was especially helpful when Shane was away at the World Cup as liaison officer for the UAE for 7 weeks delivering classes to schools and helping to set up new programmes we have begun with our clubs and also this season where he has had to take on the main coach role due to Shane's injury.

REPRESENTATIVE CRICKET:

Our Hawke Cup Challenge possibilities faded in the last elimination game when we were unable to beat Otago Country outright, but finished second to North Otago which was a very pleasing result with a young team whom we expect to improve as they are all likely to stay in our region for the foreseeable future.

Prabodha Arthavidu was our best performer scoring over 700 runs for our senior men this season, and is determined to improve on that next season.

My thanks to David Fisher and Barry Ward who helped with 'training' and also to the players who contributed despite not having an official coach.

ndThe Primary A team came 2 equal at tournament held in Blenheim in January which was an outstanding result, and only came 15 runs short of tying for first after drawing with Dunedin in their final match, a great result considering they had been beaten outright in the pre-tournament match.

Two boys featured in the overall tournament stats with Ben Cosgriff finishing the top wicket-taker while William Sharp featured in the top bowling and batting stats.

My thanks to coach Hayden Inkster who stepped up at late notice and to manager Graham Sharp for an outstanding job which was shown in the tournament results.

The Year 5 & 6 and Year 7 teams also completed their best tournament results, with Yr 7 finishing 6/10 but winning two matches and having a third possible win washed out, a big improvement on previous Yr 7 results while the Yr 5 & 6 finished 3/12 which was again an excellent result and hopefully bodes well for them as they move up the grades.

I would especially like to thank David Fisher, Simon Davenport for their work coaching and managing these teams alongside Shane Gilkison and Prabodha Arthavidu.

The Primary Girls struggled at tournament but this year had a win and to top it off had Grace Kelliher chosen as a bowler in the tournament team. The positive is that most of the girls this year will still be at Primary School next season so are hoping they can build on this experience.

Well done to Mick Geary, Brendan Cairns, Graham Sharp and other helpers for keeping these girls enthused along with coach Amy Beeby.

South Canterbury also entered teams in the U15 and U17 tournaments. The U15s performed well gaining three wins at tournament to have their best tournament in years but the U17s finished last despite having home advantage and is perhaps a reflection on the

stquality of cricket these boys are playing in for their 1 XI.

The U15 Boys are fortunate to have former White Fern Rowen Milburn as coach while Mike Otley has continued his long service as coach of South Canterbury representative teams by looking after the U17s.

The Secondary Girls also took part in their tournament, but again found the going tough, especially after the perceived most even game against Mid Canterbury didn't happen after MC failed to front.

They worked hard all season with coach Amy Beeby, but it is always a battle getting the girls to commit to tournament as well.

The revised winter training programme, along with the support this season from the CCA sending high performance coaches meant we had a lot better turnouts to the sessions. The sessions were fewer but more productive, and the feedback was very positive. It also meant that coaches got the opportunity to spot any local talent and offer them further opportunities moving forward.

CLUB CRICKET:

This year with the changes to competition formats, two types of competitions were run with the standard one day 45/45 over competition on Saturdays as well as two full rounds of T20 played on a mix of Friday nights and Saturdays.

This year in general no senior cricket was played on Hawke Cup match weekends but a Friday night T20 played to ensure everyone had cricket. This was well received, especially by clubs who invariably struggle when losing large numbers to the rep side and nullified defaults in lower grades.

Celtic is still the strongest club, although sometimes stretched as they are also supplying players to the new Roncalli/Celtic combined senior side and to a lesser extent their second grade sides, but welcomed the no matches on rep days as it didn't impact on their lower grades as in the past.

Celtic won all 3 senior competitions i.e. T20, One Day and overall Tweedy Cup.� � �This season South Canterbury entered a combined schoolgirls team into our fourth grade

competition (Yr 9 & 10) and while they still struggled to compete at times it certainly helped them when at tournament and their own final between the two girls teams went to the last 3 balls before Craighead came out on top over TGHS for the first time in about 8 seasons..

We have gained numbers at Primary School level as well as instigating a Friday night 'Junior Bash' competition which had 4 new teams (3 schools and a club) entered which gives kids an entry level understanding of the game with the hope that they can progress to C Grade in subsequent seasons.

JUNIOR CRICKET

The Kiwisport fundamentals program worked very well and was well received by the schools who want more!! A good number of children were put through awareness lessons in the key target area (Aug-Oct). Some clubs are doing great work with their JAB teams and are increasing numbers such as Pleasant Point, Geraldine, Temuka and Timaru. Shane Gilkison ran Have-a-Go programs in some of these clubs pre-season. The Year 7/8 boys & girls Cup/Shield tournaments were a huge success once again and the revised scheduling was popular.

We also ran a Holiday program at the conclusion of the World Cup for Yr 4 -6 boys and girls and had 22 'new' cricketers attend the three day course and lots of positive feedback from parents, so are hoping to run this again in August/September and try and tie it in with club registration so that these kids continue to play.

Cricket at Secondary School level continues to have its problems, especially at Timaru Boys High due to the lack of school staff with cricketing knowledge or enthusiasm. We are actively meeting with the new Rector and TBHS club to try and address the falling numbers, support and anything else we can help with.

FACILITIES

The Aorangi Oval had the whole former local soil block (3 pitches) upgraded to Kakanui and the new pitches performed better than hoped this season, but our biggest problem this summer has been the drought and water restrictions which basically meant none from February until the end of the season (half an hours hand watering a couple of nights a week), so the groundsman has done really well to still get matches played.

We retained our Warrant of Fitness and NZ Cricket gave glowing feedback on the pitch used for the Ford Trophy matches.

FINANCIAL

South Canterbury Cricket continues to look for ways to streamline costs and enable more funds to be put toward the game itself as well as investigating other funding streams to move further away from a reliance on charity grants.

We have managed to make a small profit in our financial year, which is great result considering our charity grants are down about 25% on the previous year and Canterbury Cricket reduced their funding by about 15%. Alongside Canterbury Cricket's funding reductions they have also removed all support at tournament level which has meant more costs have had to be passed on to the players/parents and while not ideal is unfortunately a case of user pays, and while we still can generally fund about 40% of the tournament costs through grants, they are becoming increasingly tougher on what we can and can't get so will continue to be a battle to sustain this support.

We have increased usage of the indoor facilities and have built some ongoing relationships

with Netball and this year with North Otago CA and hope that these can continue to be outside revenue streams alongside our existing ones.

We have restructured our groundsman's role which should help alleviate quite a bit of the costs for Aorangi Oval and also are not holding any first class matches this season as part of this restructure.

Currently we are fully investigating a fund raising exercise that would be an annual event, but ideally this event will be attractive to the wider community and not just the usual cricket supporters, but is still a work in progress and we will be re-instigating the annual golf tournament in March after a two year hiatus.

CONCLUSION

The ever changing environment means that we will be making more changes to how some of our competitions run next season, a lot of which will be geared at making the transition from primary level to secondary level stronger in an attempt to retain more of the youth we have already developed who are becoming lost in the existing High School systems.

Cricket is shifting with Women's cricket scheduled to be played Tuesday nights this season and another JAB C Grade section slotting in on Friday nights too, all in the interests of getting more players into our game.

Upgrades to cricket blocks in the district means we can continue to provide a good standard of facilities for our players, and we hope that this, alongside more specialised coaching sessions will help improve our representative results, or at least improve the pathway for our talented players to follow upward.

A new Board has brought more of a cross-section of talents to the table, and we are looking to further capitalise on this in the coming season.

S.C Cricket Umpires & Scorers Association

The 2014-15 cricket season was as busy as ever with our umpires and scorers heavily involved in our game.

We welcomed John Bromley and his family from Nelson during the season. John, who is on the NZ Cricket Umpire's Panel brings a huge amount of experience to South Canterbury.

Making themselves available during the season were our five umpires;

Duncan Blackstock, John Bromley, Les Elliott, Bevan Guthrie and John Threlkeld.

The personal commitment by our umpires has been outstanding. They have been appointed to many umpire days during the past cricket season.

Total Umpire days:Ÿ 66 Senior club appointmentsŸ 7 South Canterbury/Hawke Cup appointmentsŸ 6 New Zealand appointments Ÿ 15 U17 appointmentsŸ 2 Willows appointmentsŸ Christchurch Metro appointmentŸ Secondary High School appointments

When personal commitments occur, we realize how reliant we are on the few who turn up each and every Saturday to umpire.

When our umpires are appointed outside of South Canterbury, our umpire numbers drop considerably.

Quite frankly we need more people to umpire in South Canterbury.

Who wants to umpire on their own each Saturday. Some of us do on a regular basis.

For those who assume, that because there are two umpires on Ashbury 6, that there must be more elsewhere. When actually there are no other umpires available.

For those who are stepping aside from playing, there is a place for you in our game as an umpire.

There is an excellent career path as an umpire in New Zealand.

We also acknowledge our South Canterbury Scorer Don George. Who makes himself available for Hawke Cup and other South Canterbury cricket fixtures.

To those people involved in our great summer game. We wish you the best for the remainder if the winter season.

We as umpires know, you will always walk, never over step and will always use your bat. Les ElliottUmpire ManagerSCCUSA

The batsman from Temuka that was on strike was Josh Rooney.The Timaru bowler swung the ball into Josh and he left the ball, which passed close to his person, and it carried behind him to the keeper. The Timaru keeper and slip fielderswent up appealing for a catch, but as I heard no sound or clear deflection because of the ball swinging behind Josh, I said "not out". When I had finished saying not out however, Josh then walked straight away on his own merit, without the opposition hassling him to do so.

SOUTH CANTERBURY SUPPORTERS CLUB TROPHY - To player/Umpire/Administrator who contributes most on or off the field:David Mealings – Dave has been running the Interfirm Cricket Competition for over a decade, and the success of this tournament can be seen by the consistent numbers of teams still entering every season. He does all the draws, liaises with the grounds people and never asks for anything, bears the brunt for any cancellations. A real unsung hero and deserving winner.

ALLAN EDGINTON TROPHY for Sports Personality of the year:Hayden Inkster – Hayden has been coaching Primary Age Rep teams for 5 seasons, giving his own time (as our coaches do) despite not having any family involvement (as yet) in any of the sides. This year he had to take a step up and look after the Primary A side, and the success

ndthat the team had finishing 2 equal at the SI Primary Schools Tournament and only 15 runs shy of tying first is in no small measure due to the input he had.His input to cricket doesn't stop there as he has promoted the game at Barton Rural where he teaches, taking the Friday Night Junior Bash team every Friday as well as being involved with Active Post Cup and Shield teams and encouraging and supporting regular visits from our caches to his school. While he has 'retired' as a coach now due to a young family, we are sure that as they get older he will be back to help us even more. A very deserving recipient, who certainly wouldn't ask for rewards.

GRAEME BLANCHARD MEMORIAL TROPHY:For a youth cricketer who displays an excellent attitude on and off the field for fair play, a team player who inspires the spirit of cricket and has good work ethics.

stMark Otley – Represented Canterbury U17, captained South Canterbury U17, TBHS 1 XI. Member of Dayle Hadlee Fast Bowlers Training Group and this year will not be playing winter sports in an effort to further enhance his cricket career. A deserving winner who one day we hope to look back on as an award recipient who went a lot further in cricket.
