Northern District Cricket Club is proud to announce the appointment of Michael Phillips as the Women’s First Grade Coach and Women’s Head Coach for Season 2024/25.

Michael takes over the role of Women’s First Grade Coach from Daniel Drew who has decided to step-down from the role to focus on his work with the Australian Men’s Blind Cricket Team and his other priorities outside of cricket! The club is very thankful for the amazing service he has provided to the club over the last 3 years and wish him all the very best for the future.

Michael has been involved in the game as a player, administrator, and coach for over 30 years. In season 2023/24 he coached our Women’s Second Grade Team.

He has a Level 2 Representative Coaching Accreditation and has overseen the Cricket NSW Zone Academy program on the Central Coast for the past 2 years, which saw the Central Coast win both the U16s and U19s Country Championships for the first time.

Michael is a great administrator and communicator and has a strong focus on investing in the players to create a culture of mutual support, teamwork, and performance.

As well as looking after the First Grade team, Michael will also oversee the Coaching Program for the entire Women’s program, working closely with all the team coaches to create uniformity across the grades.

We congratulate Michael on this appointment and look forward to season 2024/25!

Queensland Cricket has unveiled a new-look Elite Cricket structure that will underpin its State teams and deliver stronger links with Premier Cricket.

A Queensland Cricket Academy has been introduced for 2024-25, with an emphasis on providing specialist coaching to players identified as being in contention for future selection at Toyota 2nd XI, Marsh Sheffield Shield, Marsh One Day Cup, women’s T20 and KFC Big Bash League level.

The 12 players selected in the initial male squad intake come from outside the 2024-25 Queensland Bulls contracted player squad and include Brisbane Heat allrounder Jack Wood, Australian Under-19 World Cup batter Tom Campbell, his Wests teammate Steve McGiffin and Valley wicket-keeper Dylan McLachlan (pictured on Bulls debut last season).

Vale Stan Beal

It is my very sad duty to advise that Stan Beal, one of the club’s most popular and respected members, passed away in Prince of Wales Hospital, last night 12 June after a short illness. He was 73.

Stan joined the old Randwick club as 2nd Grade scorer in 1986-87 at the suggestion of workmate and former 1st Grade skipper, Gary Bensley. The following season he progressed to score for the 1st Grade side while undertaking the role of Publicity Officer. Within a year, he had added Practice Captain to his busy schedule. That was the beginning of a multitude of roles he would go on to perform for the club over a period of 37 years.

Despite battling health issues throughout his life, Stan was a tireless worker who may best be described as the ultimate volunteer. He was also CEO and Assistant CEO for Randwick, Operations Manager, committee member, Chairman of Selectors, delegate to the local junior council, manager and scorer of the Poidevin-Gray team. For Randwick Petersham he was Practice Captain and 2nd Grade scorer for many years, 1st Grade scorer on occasions while providing voluntary assistance whenever help was needed.

Apart from his documented activities, Stan’s assistance in providing accommodation for players, finding them jobs and generally acting as mentor and friend to many, cannot be measured in any material way. The huge number of “thank-you’s” directed to Stan in the end-of-season reports of captains in the club annual reports over the years, is testimony to the assistance he provided and the esteem in which he was held.

At the Annual General Meeting in 2019, President Mike Whitney made a special award to Stan, acknowledging a contribution to the club and cricket, well beyond what may be expected by the most devoted of volunteers.

Stan Beal was one of a kind and will be sorely missed. Funeral details will be advised when available.

RIP Stan Beal.

VALE PETER FINNEY

It is with sadness that the MPCA Board acknowledge the recent passing of one of the Peninsula’s finest cricketers and umpires, Peter Finney.

Peter made an incredible contribution to MPCA cricket as a player, coach, and umpire. He played for the Karingal Cricket Club for 8 seasons and spent 3 of those as Captain Coach. He then went on to Coach Heatherhill Cricket Club for two seasons and then coached the Heatherhill juniors for over 10 years. His efforts were recognised by Heatherhill when they awarded him Life Membership of the club. In his earlier days Peter also played Victoria Premier Cricket for Prahran as well as 10 seasons of cricket at Carnegie.

Peter spent an incredible 36 years as a cricket umpire, mainly in the MPCA, but he also umpired for two seasons in Premier Cricket. Highly regarded by all that had the pleasure to meet him, Peter will be sadly missed, but will always be remembered as one of the greats of the MPCA.

Our condolences go out to Peter’s children Anitia, Gareth, Jacinta, Karina, Amber and all of his grandchildren.
Peter’s funeral will be held at Tobin Brothers Mt Martha this Friday 31st May @ 2pm and followed by drinks at the Dava Hotel.

The Sorrento Cricket Club is very excited to announce the signing of Dimitri Mascarenhas as our Club Captain/Coach for season 2024-25.

‘Dimi’, as he is affectionately known around the club, represented England in both ODI and T20 formats, and during one match against India in 2007, deposited Yuvraj Singh for five consecutive sixes to close out their innings.

He has an ECB Level 3 coaching qualification and has held coaching roles at Hampshire, Middlesex, the Rajasthan Royals and the Hobart Hurricanes. In June 2015, after a tenure as the head coach of domestic side, Otago, Dimi was appointed as a full-time bowling coach with New Zealand.

He brings a wealth of experience to the role and we are very excited for him to begin working with the club across all grades - especially our junior cricketers.

Please join us in wishing Dimi and his family, including sons Lenny and Viv, a very warm welcome to the club and the extended Sorrento community.
