A long and productive innings

NE hundred and fifty years ... its hard to imagine that a small sporting
club in a small hamlet on the banks of the Yarra River could have a history
that goes back that far.
While it is impossible to confirm that a cricket club actually existed in 1855,
there can be no doubting that land had been set aside in Warrandyte at that time
as a cricket ground. And records indicate that cricket was first played on that
ground as early as 1855.
Over the past 150 years, cricket in Warrandyte has had its ups and downs.
There were times when clubs from Melbourne would venture out on a day-long
trip to take on the men from Warrandyte, and others where a team turned up to
play only to discover that the local team had headed off to the goldfields when a
new find was uncovered.
There were also times when other clubs refused to play at Warrandyte
because it was too far away. And what of the dreadful Black Friday bushfires in
1939 that nearly wiped out the town of Warrandyte and destroyed the cricket
clubs pavilion and all its equipment and records. There are stories of teams
being driven to matches in the back of trucks that were used to take fruit from
local orchards to market. Others tell of matches being suspended so players
could wave to the Queen as she passed by on a train. And the day an old identity
had to remove a snake from the cricket ground before he could field a ball near
the Andersons Creek. There have been splits within the club and a few name
changes along the way.
The cricket club is also a story of families who have passed the traditions
down through generations and of those who have passed through briefly, but
who, in turn, have made an indelible mark.
Not all who have represented Warrandyte have been champion players. A
club is made up of more than that. It is nurtured by a wide variety of people with
different talents, attitudes and commitment.
This book has been published by the Warrandyte Cricket Club to celebrate
150 years of cricket in the town. It does not claim to be a definitive history of the
Warrandyte Cricket Club or cricket in Warrandyte in general. Instead, it is a
chronicle of memories and facts, names and events that have gone into making
cricket such an important part of the community of Warrandyte.

Cricket on the goldfields

N market days, Horrie Smith

would load up his old truck with
boxes of fruit and head into
Melbourne. The motor would
groan under its valuable cargo as Horrie
negotiated the hills near his Warrandyte
orchard.
But on Saturdays during the cricket season, that same truck would carry an equally valuable cargo ... cricketers.
Horrie Smith's orchard truck was well
known to cricket clubs from Doncaster to
East Burwood. They knew that when it
turned into the car park of their ground,
the Warrandyte Cricket Club had come to
play.
This was Warrandyte cricket soon after
the Second World War. It was the only way
that many could get to play cricket.
Junior and senior players would sit on
empty fruit boxes or on the tray floor and
lean back against the wooden sides. The
cricket gear bag, loaded with well worn
pads and bats, would bounce around
when the truck hit the endless number of
potholes on the roads that led to the afternoon's action.
Horrie was a player himself. A short,
solid man, he was the club's wicketkeeper
for as long as anyone from his era can
remember. He was always in the driver's
seat.
Horrie's was one of many trucks offered
by orchardists for transport before and
after the Second World War and while it
may sound like it was a primitive way to
play cricket, it was a lot better than a century before when the game was first
played in a tiny hamlet that was then
known as Andersons Creek.
Playing conditions of those times are
clearly described in the book The
Warrandyte Story. It was published by the
Warrandyte Cricket Club in 1955 to mark
the centenary of the club. It was
researched by Louis Cranfield and wirtten and illustrated by Harry Hudson.
In the chapter relating to the cricket
club, the book states that the white

clothes of today's cricketers were

unknown in those early years.
Flowing beards, of course, were the
order of the day. Travel by horseback,
buggy or coach was as rough as the cricket pitches on which the game was played
and cricketers invariably belonged to the
upper crust with a certain degree of
leisure in which to take part in gentlemanly sports. In short, cricket was no game
for the working man. Under these conditions it is of singular importance to the
story that cricket was a democratic social
game in Warrandyte from the beginning.
There were few matches between different clubs, except on special occasions.
Teams were made up locally of married
versus single; whiskers versus cleanshaven"and so on. In this way anyone
who wanted to play cricket was included
in a team at some time. There were no
class barriers when Warrandyte played
cricket.
The first cricket match is generally
regarded to have been played early in
1855. There are no records of the day or
what took place and it is very likely that it
was part of a social event where a team
made up of local gold miners and farming
settlers took on a visiting team.
According to a survey map dated 1856,
a cricket ground is marked on the site of
the current recreation reserve indicating
that the game was played in Warrandyte
before that time.
Nine years later in 1865, the site of the
cricket ground was officially set aside by
the then State Lands Department as a
Recreation Ground.
It was to prove a decisive move as it
may well have been that the land could
have been claimed under a gold mining
permit.
Miners are believed to have attempted
to stake a claim in the previous year but
opposition from townspeople forced the
government's hand.
While cricket matches were played on
an irregular basis from 1855, the first

recorded game was played on

1
January 1864 between Andersons Creek
and a team from Caledonia, which is now
known as St Andrews, near Panton Hill.
The results were published in an issue
of Bells Life in Victoria and showed that
Andersons Creek scored an outright win,
making 114 while Caledonia scored 26 and
36.
It was extraordinary that the match was
played, as a week before a major flood hit
the township washing away the first
bridge across the Yarra River. Not only
was the recreation ground awash but it is
not known how the opposition team was
able to cross the river to play.
On the same day in Melbourne, a
Victorian team played a visiting team from
England which attracted a crowd of 15,000
to the Melbourne Cricket Ground.
William Collins was captain of the
Andersons Creek team, which also includ-

ed players from all walks of life in the

town such as prominent miner, James
Masterton, the Squires brothers who operated the grocery store. The Stiggants family, pioneer orchardists from Pound Road
were also represented.
The captain of the Caledonia team was
Ewen Cameron who was a Member of
Parliament for the district for 40 years and
after whom the Cameron Trophy was
named for matches between local clubs.

The tyranny of distance

ARRANDYTE'S remoteness
was always going to be a
drawback in the development
of cricket in the township. It
was, after all, a goldmining town and it
was a long way from anywhere, especially
when the only form of transport was a
horse and cart.
This remoteness was the obvious reason why cricket was not an organised
sport with set fixtures in the early years of
the Warrandyte club. It had more to do
with social events and the club hosting a
variety of teams and groups.
The problem existed as late as 1908
when Warrandyte applied to enter the Box
Hill Reporter Cricket Association. The
other clubs were drawn from the
Doncaster, Blackburn, Box Hill and
Burwood areas and they refused to admit
the new club because it was too far away.
They only relented when Warrandyte
agreed in its first year 1909/10 to play all
of its matches away from home.
From the time the recreation ground
was first gazetted in 1864, more time was
spent by the Trust that oversaw the operation of the reserve in setting future plans
for the site which, apart from a cricket
ground, also included a lawn bowling
green and a croquet lawn.
Many of the problems in fielding teams,
especially during the 1880s, were due to
problems with gold mining and the diggers. The Booroondara Standard reported
in 1882 that the year 1881/82 was the first
time in which cricket was not played at
Warrandyte.
Apart from their mining problems, the
miners and the town also had to deal with
a typhoid fever outbreak.
By the late 1880s, the club, which was
still known as Andersons Creek, was playing matches against teams from Eltham,
Lilydale, Templestowe, Christmas Hills,
Panton Hill, Ringwood and Croydon.
One match in 1892 against Croydon was
abandoned before a ball was bowled
because of an unexpected gold find. When

the Croydon team arrived to play, the

cricketers had other things on their mind
and despite later apologies from the
Warrandyte players, the game was never
replayed.
On St Patrick's Day in 1887 a team of 15
from Andersons Creek took on 15 from
the West End Brewery in a picnic cricket
match which is said to have attracted
almost the entire town. The scores from
the match show mixed results as it is
understood the scoreboard attendants
spent more time sampling the visitor's
products than worrying about the runs.
It took until 1905 before Andersons
Creek started to play in an organised association known as the Cameron Trophy
which took in teams from north of the
Yarra River such as Kangaroo Ground, St
Andrews, Christmas Hills and Yarra Glen.
The decision proved to be successful as
the club enticed a number of quality players such as Fred Topping and J. and R.
Speers to rejoin the club.
By 1906/07 the club, under its new
name of Warrandyte, had won the
Cameron Trophy and its first-ever senior
premiership. These early years of the
1900s saw the pioneer names of Speers,
Colman, Houghton, McCulloch, March and
Till become closely associated with
Warrandyte cricket. John Till, in particular,
and then his son, Les, were to become two
of the club's most celebrated players.
It was after the First World War that
cricket came alive in the town. In his book
Cricket By the Riverside, Louis Cranfield
describes the 1920-1930s era as "Cricket at
its Best" in Warrandyte.
The first highlight was the B Grade premiership in 1920/21 when Warrandyte
defeated Blackburn in the final. The team
was L. Till, J. Colman, R. Sloan, R.
McCulloch, L. McCulloch, W. McCulloch,
W. Moore, J. Schubert, W, Colman, J.
White and A. Aumann.
Following their premiership win,
Warrandyte again made the finals the following season, defeating Blackburn in the

semi final with J. Colman scoring 83 not
out and J. Schubert 42. But in the final
against East Doncaster, Warrandyte collapsed to be all out for 24 and ended up
being beaten outright by more than 100
runs.
The following season saw the club
unable to win the premiership despite
dominating the competition, losing the
1922/23 title again to East Doncaster.
East Doncaster was a rival orcharding
team with family members playing against
one another in matches against
Warrandyte.
In 1925/26 cricket had gained increased
popularity in Warrandyte and the club was
able to field a second eleven for the first
time. It marked the introduction of
orcharding families such as Frank and
George Adams, the Aumanns and Smiths.
The season also saw the rise of Jack
Moore, an outstanding bowler and later to
become an important administrator for
the Warrandyte Cricket Club.
In the semi final against Box Hill ANA,
Moore took a then association record
9/46 to help dismiss the opposition for
112. Warrandyte replied with 87 and then
Jack Colman took 6/28 as Box Hill ANA
made 134. Left 160 to win, Warrandyte
failed by 12 runs.
The following season Warrandyte led

the table at the start of the finals and

defeated Doncaster Heights by an innings
in the first semi final with J. Schubert scoring 108. Moore was again outstanding with
the ball taking 4-47 and 6-46. Warrandyte
lost the final to Blackburn but Moores
brilliance was evident when he won the
association averages with 64 wickets at
9.28.
The clubs success saw the senior team
promoted from B to A Grade in 1926-27
but it found the competition strong and by
1928/29 the team was back in B Grade and
the seconds had been abandoned.
In 1930/31 a seconds team was re-introduced but difficulties between Warrandyte
and the Box Hill Reporter Association over
the clubs geographical location, saw the
senior team playing in the BHRDCA and
the seconds in the Ringwood District
Cricket Association.
By the following season, both teams
were part of the RDCA and in 1933/34 the
club won the C Grade premiership.In
1936/37 under the captaincy of Jack
Moore, Warrandyte 53 and 122 defeated
Heathmont 50 and 50 in the B Grade final
to win its way into A Grade. It appeared to
be the start of a golden period for

Warrandyte as in their first year in the top

grade they defeated Kilsyth in the semi
final but lost the final to North Ringwood.
The 1938/39 season began with great
hope but was literally destroyed on 13
January 1939 when the Black Friday bushfires swept through Warrandyte destroying
more than 160 houses and the Warrandyte
pavilion.

favourite sport but came back to

cricket with Warrandyte in 1954.
The first two years I was honoured
with the captaincy. Allan Chapman and
I opened the batting for the next 10
years.We had a good bunch of boys
playing, and we had a lot of fun.
I remember a couple of humorous incidents, one at Blackburn.They were
always stiff opposition, but on this occasion I was batting and their keeper,
Silver Flood, kept chatting as the bowler was running up.
After a while I said: Silver, if you dont shut your mouth Ill put the thick
end of this bat in it!
When they batted I was keeping and also chatted and had the bat put
under my chin. Checkmate.
Another occasion against Vermont, against whom I usually scored well,
Alby Pannam, their captain, said to me as I took block: Well get you cheap
today. I said: Maybe, but Im after a hundred, Alby.
As the sun was getting lower, Alby moved near the wicket. As the bowler
came in Albys shadow on the pitch moved around. I stepped back and asked
the umpire to shift that player. If looks could have killed, I would not have
scored that hundred. But he rushed over and shook hands with me when I
scored the century.
I was fortunate enough to play in the match celebrating the centenary of
cricket in Warrandyte against a Victoria XI.The Vics were very lucky to win.

EXTRAS

Warrandyte Cricket Club did not have a

bat or a stump to its name. Along with the
clubrooms and the equipment, the club's
records were also lost and the names and
the deeds of most of Warrandyte's pioneer
players were destroyed.
Many local clubs, the RDCA and the
Victorian Cricket Association and sporting goods manufacturers donated equipment and the club was able to finish the
season. The setback saw the club field
teams in B and C Grade in 1939/40 and
Warrandyte took out both premierships.
The B Grade side defeated North
Bayswater in the final while C Grade
defeated Ringwood outright.
The B Grade final brought to
prominence the skills of Jack McAuley
who scored 55 and 24. He was to become
a fine all rounder and was later awarded
Life Membership.
Les Till, who played in the 1920/21 B
Grade BHRDCA premiership, was again a
member of the B Grade premiership.
With the Second World War at its
height, Warrandyte withdrew teams in
1942 until the war ended.

the old Wantirna ground when they gave me a bowl in

the second innings of the match. I was about 16 years old.
VISITORS
The first four I ever hit was against Ferntree Gully on the
1 4 9
ground behind Safeway in Ferntree Gully. I was shaking like a
leaf, tried to block the ball and got a fine edge and it went to
fine leg for four. It was my first four in cricket. I can
remember running up the wicket with the pads flapping,
nearly tripping me up.
I remember my Dad playing for Warrandyte before the
bushfires, in the mid-thirties, probably 1934-35.We nearly always travelled to cricket in Horrie
Smiths truck (Horrie was an orchardist). How he got enough petrol I dont know. He would have
had a ration, but it wasnt much.We all used to climb in the back and off wed go.We were in the
RDCA then and travelled as far as Ferntree Gully.
John Bradbury came to Warrandyte. He was a terrific cricketer. I remember I was at practice
one night and they kept bowling the ball down the leg side and I was trying to hit the ball but
couldnt and he said to me Stan, what are you trying to do?
I said, Hit the bloody thing and he said: No, you just glance it and showed me how to leg
glance and you get a run every time. I was trying to belt it and you miss more often than not and
eventually my leg glance was one of my best shots.
John was an Englishman who had migrated here and was a brilliant bat.We were playing
Blackburn one day and the opening bowler dropped a short one outside his off stump and he
square cut him for six.The next ball he dropped another one short ouside the off stump another
six. And the third one went for six.
He quit after that. He just could not bowl. He said: Anyone who can do that to me can win.
I remember John Smith playing his first game, He was about 12-years-old and Warrandyte
wanted four runs to win and they wanted one wicket and there were about four balls to go.The
bowler dropped one short outside his off stump and he also square cut one for four which won
the game for us.
Bill McCulloch, an old identity (once the postman) used to bowl what he called donkey drops
and many, many times he threw the ball so high the batsman couldnt reach them and they dropped
on top of the wicket.
One Saturday we went to North Croydon and when we arrived at the ground the bloke was
ploughing it up and we still played cricket. It didnt matter how hard you hit the ball when it hit the
ground it stopped. One time it went under a sod of soil and couldnt be found.The next week we
went it had all been harrowed and flattened out and was much easier for the opposition batting.

The rollercoaster ride

HE years immediately following

the Second World War were a
roller coaster for the Warrandyte
Cricket Club. Like many sporting
clubs, Warrandyte found it difficult to
recruit the necessary numbers to put a
team in the field but in 1945/46 a B Grade
team played in the Ringwood District
Cricket Association.
The team had unexpected success, winning its way through to the final, only to
lose to East Ringwood. Warrandyte could
only score 49 and 45 while their opponents scored 68 and 136.
In 1947/48 Warrandyte became an outstanding team in the RDCA and the
involvement of the Chapman family in the

would have been 12 or 13 and went

We went in Jimmy Harriss truck and it
could have been one of the Chapmans
who drove us there.
We also used to go with Keith
Shields in his old Dodge. It was the
original milk truck for Warrandyte.We
used to have to jump out going up hills and run along beside it and get back
on again at the top.We were in Box Hill Reporter and we went out Tindals
Road or Andersons Creek Road and it was all uphill so we ran most of the
way to the cricket.
But it was a good time we had in the D Grade, which was our seconds.
During the D Grade days Dave Simons, who had the draper shop, which
is now McDougalls Real Estate, was a first eleven type cricketer (opening
bat) and he sacrificed his senior career to help us in D Grade and he was
also treasurer of the club.
He averaged over 50 each year in the D Grade. From memory he
averaged 90 in one season. He was a really good cricketer but he came
down there to help us because we didnt have anyone there who really knew
the rules or anything else.
Dave had been a victim of polio and had one lame leg. He was treasurer
for quite a few years, even after he stopped playing cricket. I couldnt tell you
exactly, but he was treasurer for about 10 years.. Hes one man that put a lot
into the Warrandyte Cricket Club.

club's success was evident in the B

Grade finals series with Arthur Chapman
making an unbeaten 156 and his son, Allan
scoring 38 in the semi final against
Bayswater. The team took out the premiership by defeating YCW.
The Chapmans had started with
Warrandyte before the Second World War
and Allan was to play for more than 35
years. Records of his early years are not
available but his feats as both a batsman
and bowler during the 1950s and 1960s
and even into the 1970s rank him as one of
the club's most outstanding players.
Despite the success in 1947/48, the
rollercoaster ran off the rails the
following season when a dispute over the
captaincy resulted in the club not fielding
a side at all.
From 1950/51 to 1953/54, the club
played as the West Warrandyte Cricket
Club in the Box Hill Reporter Association.
The reason for the change is not clear
although the recollections of older players
indicate the Warrandyte Cricket Club may
have had problems with paying accounts
at the time and a name change was necessary to
establish a clean sheet.
By 1954/55 the club was again known as
Warrandyte Cricket Club and had
improved enough to play in the finals
series. It is not known in what grade the
club was placed (possibly B Grade) but
it lost the final to Templestowe and the
following season was beaten by Doncaster
Footballers in the semi final.
The club had been boosted by the
arrival of former Lancashire League
(England) player John Bradbury and the
development of local talent which now
included Les Adams and Bill Morrison.
The 1950s and 1960s were difficult
decades for Warrandyte, with only one
team fielded in most seasons. After the
war, people were establishing careers and
young families, and the local population
was still relatively small. Orchardists were
active cricketers despite the cricket season corresponding with summer fruit

at Warrandyte or at any other club. I
took afternoon tea to all the matches
Les expected it.Two or three thermos
flasks of boiled water and a strong tea
essence (Effie Adams taught me to
make a very strong pot of tea, strain it
and put it into a sauce bottle, to be diluted with hot water).
After lunch on Saturday I would bake drop scones or a tea cake, so they
were still warm when it came to afternoon tea. I carried them in picnic
baskets, along with coffee, milk, sugar and cups.
Mrs Horace Smith always sent down a lovely tin of iced pattie cakes, but
other contributions were rare. Very few spectators came to the ground.
Afternoon tea was served on the ground or on a seat outside the change
rooms. I only brought enough for our own team. No other ladies were able
to help with the tea.
After the match everyone went home in the transport available, as not
everyone had their own. We didnt have a car until 1956. I remember walking down to the ground from our home in West Warrandyte, with young
children and a laden pram. In the 1950s there was usually only one team and
a very small committee, which met for years at our house. Les was
secretary for a long period. I would cook drop scones or teacake for supper.

picking and watering.
From the early 1900s to late 1960s,
orchardists and farmers often made up to
half of the teams (for example, see 1920
team photograph page 7). In the 1950s it
was common to arrive at a game with nine
or 10 men, and play short, or fill with boys
who could field well, but neither bat nor
bowl against seniors. Junior cricket and its
graduates did not appear until towards
the end of the decade.
Nevertheless, cricket was enjoyable for
the stalwarts, even without finals appearances. Suburban teams such as Blackburn,
Nunawading and Mitcham came from a
larger population, and were very strong.
Les Adams was either president or secretary, plus delegate to BHRDA meetings
for more than 15 years. Club committee
meetings with variable turnout of 3-10
members were held at Less home in West
Warrandyte. Annual meetings were also
small, with few nominations for positions.
Les Adams son, Peter recalls: On
match days the same two or three people
would set up matting, stumps, sweep
pitches, and meet the umpire who was
often a local and well known to players.
Allan Pump of East Doncaster officiated
regularly. He was very kindly but also very
official. Allan had a curious and decisive
way of refusing appeals, by shaking his
head with great seriousness. If he had
turned down a couple of close ones, you
could be fairly certain hed put the finger
up next time!
Recruitment was restricted to well

known cricketing families, invitations to

work mates and families, and by the
grapevine. .
Jean Chapman admits she had an interest in cricket before she met her husbandto-be, Allan, widely regarded as
Warrandytes best-ever player.
Before I met Allan I was interested in
cricket and had been to matches at the
MCG. I even saw Bradman but never
thought I would be involved with a club
for over 50 years, in one way or another, she said.
Jean later became a committee member
and the first manager of the clubs original
Under 12 team.
She recalled the day Warrandyte played
at Blackburn in 1954, the year in which the
Queen visited Australia.
The match was suspended when it was
about time for the train with the Queen
and Prince Philip aboard to pass the
ground.
We all trundled over to the fence along
the railway line and watched. The Duke
waved furiously when he saw the cricketers all lined up. Then the match continued.
The season also saw the celebration of
the club's Centenary with a match against
a team organised by the Victorian Cricket
Association. The VCA team dismissed
Warrandyte for a disappointing 88 and
made 7/102 in reply.
The club also organised a Centenary
Dinner and John Moore, a great bowler
and club administrator, was awarded
Warrandyte's first-ever Life Membership.
For the next 10 years, cricket in
Warrandyte was in upheaval. Club stalwart and Life Member, Geoff Day, recalls
how an initial shortage of players forced
the club to field only one team.
He said that at the time there was
nowhere for young blokes to play and
Morrie Bennett believed another team
should be formed.
Politics came into it and Morrie did
start a team but because it wasnt part of
the Warrandyte club, it was called North
Warrandyte, Geoff recalled.
The North Warrandyte team played on
the Warrandyte No. 2 oval and the players practiced on the old asphalt tennis
courts near the Yarra River bridge.
The main Warrandyte ground was
available every second game but North
Warrandyte werent allowed to use it,
Geoff said. Some good came out of the
split as it gave more people the chance to
play. Allan Chapman and others came
along to help out and taught us young
blokes how to play.

Geoff said it was Morrie Bennett who

started the cricket clubs Business
Directory which is still published today.
Geoff said that Ray Bellinger was an
early captain of the team and some of the
towns better players ended up joining
the newly formed club.
After some time, Mr Pike, the local
policeman got me aside and said: This is
silly. Warrandyte needs a seconds side
because we are now having trouble getting
enough blokes to play in the firsts. So I
went to the annual meeting, much to
Morrie Bennetts disgust, and we talked
about amalgamating and of course that
created problems with money and equipment. We called ourselves Warrandyte
Footballers Cricket Club so we all got back
together again, Geoff said.
The club played as Warrandyte
Footballers from 1960/61 to 1965/66.
Geoff recalls those years with great
fondness.
They were a great bunch of blokes. You
had Les Adams, Gordon Page, Ray
Bellinger, Terry Leheney, Allan Chapman,
Jack McAuley. I think it may have even
been Peter Adams first year, and then
there was Horrie Smith and Eddie
Nylander who was a wild sort of a bowler
and bash artist batsman, but a bloody

good character and good fun.

We didnt have a clubroom or anything so if we wanted to have a drink, as it
was six oclock closing, most Saturday
nights we finished up at Mums, on the
lawn.
Jack McAuley won the bowling trophy with his little twiggers at about 50
years of age. He was another clubman who
never gets much recognition. Hed always
turn up and help out if you were short of
players or wanted any work done.
By 1966/67 the club had reverted back
to the Warrandyte Cricket Club. But cricket was still having trouble finding its feet
in the town and as the 1970s neared, the
club was again at the crossroads.

VISITORS

Allan Chapman used to show us where to bowl. Nobody
bowled short like they do today because you had the danger of
clipping the leather binding on the end of the mat or hitting the
concrete and it was a no-ball. If you bowled short enough to
land it on the first mat the ball went so high it was called a wide
anyway. When you got new mats, for 12 months or so it was
beaut because there was no gap. But as they got older the gap would widen because you often had
to cut bits off when they were repaired.The gap could be as wide as six or eight feet.They used bits
of string to join the mats in the centre as they got further apart.The only place you could get mats
mended or buy them was from Pentridge Prison, so every cricket club was waiting for their mats to
come back.That was part of the cricket culture in those days, carrying the mats in and carrying them
out again.The worse the cricketer you were, the more likely you had to carry the mats.
There were lots of characters. Butch Prior the ex-Hawthorn full-forward, played for a while. He
was a massive man and could hit a cricket ball.
On the subject of hitting cricket balls, I never saw him but I believe that Jim Schubert used to hit
the ball over the main road. Ive seen it once in my life by Geoff McGivern from Croydon who was
an ex-league footballer, full-back with Melbourne. He hit one out over the pine trees out on to the
main road. Another fellow who hit it a long way was a bloke called Norm Wagner.
A fellow called Les Stoneham was a quick and as good as any bowler as Ive seen. (Margaret
McIntosh, daughter of the late secretary of the BHRDCA, recalled stories of Les Stoneham taking
out his false teeth and leaving them at the base of the stumps before he started each over. He would
retrieve them at the end of the over).Terry Leheney was really good for a little fellow. He had a Jeff
Thomson slinging action and he could bat and catch.
Another bit of scallywag business was Horrie Smith and his brother, Norm, having a blue at East
Doncaster.They used to play in their felt hats, just normal felt hats that they used when they worked
in the orchard.They had a blue over the scorebook or something and traded fisticuffs.That was
Norm and Horrie.There was no love lost there. I was only a youngster and I can remember looking
for somewhere to hide.

The changing fortunes

S the 1970s dawned, it would

have been a brave person who
would have predicted the success the club would have before
the decade was over.
At one stage the club struggled to field
one team but by 1979 it had six senior
teams and a womens team plus junior
teams ranging from Under 12 to Under 16.
The club had also appointed its first captain-coach and had left the Box Hill
Reporter District Cricket Association and
returned to the Ringwood District Cricket
Association.
Excavation work by the local council
during the 1960s had greatly improved the
standard of the Warrandyte oval but practice facilities remained primitive with a
single wire net set among the gum trees

to pass their score, Allan went in and
he said: What do you want me to do,
Stan? and I said Get the four runs we
need and then you can go for it. He
hit 36 off one over.
Theres another story about the
Chapman boys. Arthur was opening the bowling and his brother Bizz was
rolling a cigarette in slips. Arthur said: Come on! and Bizz said: Its all
right.
The batsman snicked the ball and Allan swears that Bizz still licked the
cigarette paper and caught the ball.
Bizz Chapman also had a theory that when you opened the batting
and the fast bowler came in, the first ball you hit him back over his head
for six. He said that put them off for the rest of the game and he quite
often did it.
Jack Moore was another good cricketer who played for Warrandyte. He
was a very fast bowler and was the local grocer. I remember talking to the
then secretary of the Box Hill Reporter Association who told me he still
had the bruises where Jack hit him on the leg once.
Les Till and his father, Jack, were great players and I remember one day
when George White went to field the ball out near the creek and picked
up a snake and threw it across the ground. He told us later that the snake
was lying next to the ball in the grass and he threw the snake out first so
that he could throw the ball in.
As everyone knows, I have four sons and they have all taken hat-tricks as
well as myself. Is that a record?

near the main road. Mats were carried

across the ground and the concrete pitch
would have to be cleared of leaves and
fallen branches.
The run-up for the bowlers was rough
and the mottled shade created by the tree
cover made batting at practice an art in
itself.
It was little wonder that the cricket club
could not entice people to play.
It was at this time that John Chapman
and Peter Adams were making their
mark. Both were sons of established senior players and they were continuing a
strong trend of family association with the
club. From the very early years, passing
the baton, or in the cricket clubs case,
passing the bat through the generations
had been one of its great strengths.
John was an opening batsman and wicketkeeper while Peter was an orthodox
left arm slow bowler and middle order
batsman. Both played in senior competition as young teenagers and more than 40
years after they both made their first senior appearances with the club, they still
remain active members in Warrandytes
Veterans teams.
Alan Woolcock, a left-arm orthodox spin
bowler and a handy middle order batsman, had also joined the club and was
appointed captain. He was later to win six
First XI bowling awards.
As the first years of the 1970s unfolded,
the club began to build a solid foundation.
Steve Peake, who had played junior
cricket at the club, and was now opening the bowling in the senior side, introduced a school friend, Robert White, to
Warrandyte. A player with Melbourne district club cricket experience, he later
became captain and president of the club.
He was also to become one of the clubs
most prolific run scorers.
By 1973 moves were under way to
install a turf wicket at the Warrandyte
Reserve. It was an ambitious bid by the
club which was forced to vacate the

ground in 1974/75 to allow time for the

Merri Creek soil to be put in place. Senior
and seconds matches were moved to
Domeney Reserve at Park Orchards.
The move did not upset the improving
standard of play as three of Warrandytes
four senior teams, including A Grade,
made the top four, only to be beaten in the
first week of the finals.
In the end, the move to Park Orchards
was in vain as there was a shortage of
Merri Creek soil and the turf wicket was
not installed. At the
following years
annual meeting the club voted to retain its
hard wicket and turf cricket was abandoned.
It was also at this time that the club
began to question its place in the BHRDCA. It appeared to have closer ties with
the RDCA both historically and geographically. Warrandyte put its case to the RDCA
in 1975/76 and was admitted to the A
Grade competition.
Two seasons later the club appointed
its first-ever captain-coach, recruiting outstanding allrounder, Steve Pascoe, from
Norwood. At the time it was a recruiting
coup as Steve was highly regarded in the
RDCA having won the associations prestigious allrounder award. The appointment
was to have long-term advantages for
Warrandyte as Steve and his wife, Ann,
moved house to Warrandyte and have
remained with the club ever since.
Both have shared executive positions
and are Life Members. Steve is a former
president of Warrandyte and is now
President of the RDCA. Ann retired as senior scorer in 2002/03 after 25 consecutive
years although she was coaxed out of
retirement for the senior finals in 2003/04.
Steve brought to Warrandyte a new professionalism both on and off the field and
within two years of his arrival, six senior
mens teams were fielded along with the
womens team that debuted in 1974/75.
The late 1970s also saw the introduction
of players such as Bruce Kline who had
many years of District cricket experience
at Melbourne and Fitzroy and two leg spin
bowlers, Stan Davis and Bob McDonald.
Stan had been a star player with Balwyn
in Sub-District ranks while Bob was a legend of the game on the Mornington
Peninsula.
Bob was of stocky build and carried a
gammy leg and looked anything but a
cricketer. A teacher, he was appointed to
Kangaroo Ground Primary School and was
selected in the Warrandyte senior team
virtually sight unseen.
There were a few worried faces when he
turned up on match day but it took only a
few overs of his wily leg-spin to understand why Bob had such a reputation on

the peninsula.
Stan Davis and Bruce Kline started playing in Warrandytes Second XI. For Bruce,
cricket was now played for pleasure as he
watched over his sons playing in the juniors in the morning.
But it was clearly evident that their talents were better served in the First XI and
in 1979/80 Stan was appointed captain
while Bruce stood behind the stumps.
It was to prove a stellar year for
Warrandyte. The seniors scored a club
record 8/525 against Glen Park with Bruce
Kline scoring 101, Steve Pascoe 71 and
Geoff Taylor and Fred Jungwirth were
unbeaten on 95 and 90 respectively.
The senior also won the A Grade premiership and the Second XI and Third XI
took out the titles in their grades. There
were also premierships for the clubs two
Under 12 teams.
The A Grade team played Ainslie Park
who were dismissed for 124 with Fred
Jungwirth taking 4/39. Warrandyte replied
with 248 with John Chapman making 66
and Max Summers and Stan Davis sharing
a last wicket stand of 83. Max scored 56
and Stan unbeaten on 23. It was to prove a
decisive partnership as Ainslie Park belted
9 dec. 211 in its second innings, leaving
Warrandyte to score 88 runs for outright
victory. It was achieved without the loss
of a wicket.
In 10 years Warrandyte had become the
Cinderella club. Struggling for players and
an identity as the decade opened, it now
went into the 1980s in Chandler Shield and
would have to mix it with some of the
power clubs of the eastern suburbs.

Premierships and new faces

RAEME Lloyd quickly tore his batting gloves from his hands,
tucked his bat under his arm and
walked briskly back to the
Warrandyte pavilion.
Hey Graeme, that wasnt out, shouted
the umpire who had turned down an
enthusiastic caught behind decision from
Croydon United opening bowler, Robin
King, one of the fastest bowlers in the
competition.
Close enough for me, Graeme shouted
back over his shoulder as the pace of his
walk quickened just in case he had to go
back and take strike again.
Graeme never rated himself as a batsman. In fact, other clubs in the RDCA
Chandler Shield competition didnt rate
him very highly either. But as a bowler he
had no peer.
He joined Warrandyte as the club
entered a new era, taking on the powerful
clubs that had made the Chandler Shield
one of the most competitive and revered
cricket grades in metropolitan Melbourne.
It was a tough step up from the
A
Grade premiership in 1979/80 but to the
surprise of most people, Warrandyte finished an unlucky fifth in its first Chandler
Shield season.
In the following season, Graeme Lloyd
was unstoppable, taking 66 wickets
including a remarkable 9/26 against
Montrose. He eventually took out the Bill
Dean Medal as the best player in the
Chandler Shield for 198/-82. He was the
first bowler to achieve the feat and for his
efforts he ironically received a new bat.
Warrandyte clung onto fourth position
and then defeated Croydon United and
Wantirna South to win its first-ever
Chandler Shield.
Captain, Stan Davis, had crafted together a hard-working team which may have
been individually inferior to other teams
but worked as a committed unit.
It was in fact Stan, who with the support of John McCartin, put on a 70-run
last wicket partnership that turned out to
be the match-winning session of a Grand
Final that lasted into the darkening hours

of the third day.

Warrandyte batted first and crawled to
9/120 before Davis and McCartin, who finished 44 not out, came together to add
70 runs. Only Steve Pascoe with 42 and
Marty McCarthy with 22 offered any resistance.
An outstanding spell of leg spin bowling by Davis who took 5-33 saw Wantirna
South collapse to be all out for 128 midway through the third day. The remainder
of the day appeared to be a formality until
Warrandyte collapsed to be all out for 96
leaving their opponents to make 159 in 25
overs. Some big hitting from the South
Wantirna openers threatened to bring off
an astounding win.
Fielding was almost impossible as dark
clouds closed in on the ground and infielders were forced to scream out the direction of the ball to outfielders unable to
pick up its flight.
Davis refused to appeal against the light
preferring to play the game out to a finish
with Warrandyte prevailing.
The scores in the historic win were:
Warrandyte 190 (J. McCartin 44 n.o., S.
Pascoe 42, M. McCarthy 22) and 96 defeated South Wantirna 128 (S. Davis 5-33, G.
Lloyd 2-55) and 8-131 (S. Pascoe 5-63).
Stan was transferred in his employment
to Sydney the following year and his leadership on and off the field was sadly
missed.
After finishing mid-field the following
season, Steve Peakes recruiting prowess
was further strengthened when he encouraged John Salter to join the club. The pair
were footballing friends and John had
played District cricket with Hawthorn-East
Melbourne.
He took over the reins as captain-coach
and in his first season made 690 runs.
Graeme Lloyd took a staggering 71 wickets
and with the recruitment of opening batting pair, Graham Jacobs and Wayne
Amiguet and the emerging juniors in
Gerald Walshe, Colin Dorning and Darren
Peters, Warrandyte took all before them to
win a second Chandler Shield in three seasons.
Warrandyte batted first scoring 9/304
with Robert White making 84 and John
Salter 72. It was a competive total but at
the end of the second day, East Ringwood
was 1/99 and the match was evenly
poised.
A concentrated spell of off-spin bowling
by White who took 5/60 off 30 overs, supported by Graeme Lloyd who took three
wickets and Steve Pascoe with two wickets saw East Ringwood dismissed for 244.
A premiership was on the cards the following season as John Salter continued to
savage bowling attacks for a First XI

record 955 runs. Graeme Lloyd again

proved unplayable but Warrandyte lost
the first semi final despite making more
than 300 runs.
During the early 1980s, Warrandyte
embarked on an overseas tour. Steve
Pascoe recalls: We toured the New
Hebrides for the South Pacific Cricket
Festival in the two weeks preceding independence for the island nation, now called
Vanuatu.
No other overseas teams attended due
to some local unrest, but the English
Commandos were there to quell any problems and they hurriedly put a team together. Warrandyte endeared themselves to
the locals by beating the commandos and
succumbing to the two local teams. We
were treated like royalty.
The mid-1980s also saw the club experiment with a new form of synthetic pitch.
Known as Scapa, it was installed by contractors keen to see the project used more
widely. It had been used successfully in
England and the Australian distributors
wanted to see how it would operate under
local conditions.
The pitch was essentially a synthetic
carpet envelope filled with brick dust. It
was supposed to play like a turf cricket
pitch. But it needed far more maintenance,
including watering and rolling, than the
club could accommodate. Eventually,
much to the delight of all players in the
association, it was removed after two seasons.
While this was going on, the clubs
lower grades were benefiting not only
from the senior teams success but also
from the efforts of a growing band of par-

ents who were now involved with the junior section.

Bruce Kline and then Joe Peters took on
the co-ordinating role and recruited other
parents who then went on to play cricket
in the afternoon.
Reputations were also being built as
Graham Lawrence, Jim Gathercole, Don
Turner, Chris Fernando and Harvey Harris
thrashed attacks in the lower grades. In
1982-83, Don scored an unbeaten 192 in
the Fourth XI, the highest score by a
Warrandyte player. In 1987-88, Chris
Fernando almost broke the record in the
Fifth XI with 185.
Steve Pascoe recalled that Harvey
Harris hard hitting against all types of
bowling was based on the premise of
counting to three then swinging from the
backside.
When asked how he approached batting
against slow bowlers Harvey replied: I
count to four then swing from the backside.
As for the bowlers, Alan Vitiritti, Bob
LeGuier, Geoff Taylor, Wayne Moore,
Bernie Blair and Alan King were always
among the wickets and a young Chris
Snaidero was also making his mark.
Bob LeGuier reported after one match
that an elderly opponent named Gerald
was referred to as the silly old bugger
early in the match but, after taking three
wickets in three balls was renamed Gerri at -trick. Such was Bobs sense of
humour that he often had club mates in
stitches.
Joe Scicluna would never be described
as a batsman or a bowler but there were
few who could match him when it came to
fielding close to the wicket.
Ivan Vojlay was another important character in the lower grades, captaining a premiership side and having the ability to
both encourage and lead sides that had
extreme mixtures of talent and age.
The mid to late 1980s became the era of
the young guns, all of whom had come
through the junior ranks. By 1986-87, Ian
Broome, an outstanding junior player at
Warrandyte who went on to play District
cricket at Collingwood and county cricket
in England had returned and won both the
batting and bowling awards while Darren
Peters, Chris Snaidero and David Sloan
had all won batting or bowling awards.
The Dorning brothers, Russell and
Colin, were also starting to establish themselves. Russell, who was later to become
President of the club, retired prematurely
after an outstanding run as a wicketkeeper, taking almost 200 dismissals and making 1337 runs while Colin has scored

more than 2660 runs.

Michael and Cameron Day, sons of former player and president, Geoff Day, were
among a younger brigade starting to display their talents.
Tony Sturesteps was starting to blossom into one of the clubs best-ever all
rounders. A powerful hitter, he also
opened the bowling, taking full advantage
of his broad shoulders and strong
physique. He was to later captain-coach
the senior team and win an RDCA allrounder title.
Gerald Walshe was given the responsibility of captaincy of the First XI while
only 20 and had an outstanding season. As
the decade closed, Walshe was only just
starting what would become an outstanding bowling career.

an astute and innovative cricket sense. Bruce stood up to
the stumps to bowlers of all types and placed amazing
pressure on opposing batsmen with the skill of his gloves and
some distracting comments. His only concession to the
dangers of keeping up to the fast bowlers was to leave his
false teeth wrapped in his handkerchief in the pavilion.
A mischievous character, Bruce often had umpires in a quandary when he would walk to the
other end after five balls in an over or for asking for the height of the stumps to be remeasured
when a ball narrowly missed taking the bails.To the embarrassment of one umpire, Bruce was
proven correct in a match at Wonga Park when it was discovered after much prompting from the
keeper, that the stumps needed to be raised 3cm.
Records show that during the 1980s, five senior and six under age premierships were won, 14
individual RDCA Grade averages attained and, perhaps the clubs premier opening bowle at the
timer, Graeme Lloyd took out the Bill Dean Medal as Fairest and Best in Chandler Shield. Graeme
remains the only specialist bowler to win this award.
Around the same time we welcomed John Salter for a short stint as captain coach of the club.
John was relatively young to take on this role but his District cricket ambitions had waned and he
was ripe to take on the challenge. Fortunate to be surrounded by experienced teammates, Johns
ability to build an innings and churn out runs soon returned, preparing him for a successful return
to District Cricket the following year.
Facilities were not the greatest and we were crammed into old and run down change room as
our only means of after game social activities. Imagine the joy when George Sturesteps advised that
he was able to arrange a donation of carpet for the rooms. No matter that it turned out to be
electric blue shag pile, our rooms were carpeted!
Graeme Jacobs was renowned for an allowance of $3 for after match conviviality. Every week
$3 (enough for, perhaps four cans in those days) was secreted in his black sock, worn with black
shoes that replaced cricket boots after the game.Tony Graf was moved to manufacture a $3 note
and present it to Jakes in an effort to save wear and tear on his socks.

HERE was a hush around the

ground as the ambulance arrived
and paramedics treated the batsman prone on the pitch at the
East Ringwood Cricket Ground. He had not
moved since collapsing after being hit in
the head by a ball from Rodney Hogg.
It was the 1993/94 Chandler Shield
Grand Final and the stakes were high as
Warrandyte took on Ainslie Park.
Hogg, the Australian Test opening
bowler, had been recruited by Warrandyte
and the Grand Final saw a re-match of the
previous years semi final which Ainslie
Park had won.
The batsman was admitted to
hospital and later recovered but he did not bat
again in the match.
There was tension from the very first
ball of the game which was destined to go
for four days.
Warrandyte captain-coach, John
Sharman, recalls one of the RDCAs most
dramatic finals matches.
We won the toss and batted and made
174. The crowd that attended this game
was unbelievable. It was as though
everyone in the competition knew it was
going to be an epic between two quite
even sides. I am sure part of the attraction was the fact that where else do you
go to see a living legend going flat out
in a big game like this.
We knew if we could get on top of
Ainslie Parks very good bowling attack
we would win and I guess our 174 was
competitive. We also knew we would
have to play well and we did.
At the end of the second day Ainslie
Park was 9/171. We had two run outs, we
all dropped catches but Hoggy had six
for not many and had bowled his guts
out. But this was a grand final.
We all turned up the following week
and what followed was quite unbelievable. Tony Sturesteps was to bowl the
first over and we all knew, as did everyone at the ground, and there were thousands there, that if Moose (Tony
Sturesteps) could get through the first
over, the pressure would be too much for

the batters. Moose bowled a gem of an

over and Hoggy got the wicket with the
second or third ball of the next we had
won the first innings.
What followed was the most intense
huddle and crush of players I had ever
experienced the excitement and energy
was unforgettable and something every
member of that team will remember forever.
However, what happened next is now
folklore and legend. We were bowled out
for 136 and they had about 20 overs to
get the runs to achieve an improbable
outright win.
A young left handed opener began the
innings by backing away from Hoggy and
slashing/edging him to third man.
Several times he hit the fence at third
man on the full. At one stage I am sure
we had two slips a gully and two or three
men at fly slip. However he got them
away to a flyer and the game was back
on.
We were all exhausted but somehow
we clawed our way back into it before
Shaun Arbuckle, a fantastic competitor
and wicket keeper for Ainslie Park
arrived at the crease. He had been our
nemesis over the years but Hoggy was
having none of that. He promptly told
the young man to put a helmet on. The
batsman made a smart reply and refused
the invitation. It was late on the third day
by now and getting dark and we thought
the batsman was being a bit cute when
he called for his jumper and took what
seemed like forever to face the next
delivery.
It was a very dangerous game he was
playing as Hoggy was by now furious.
The next ball stuck him just above the
temple and knocked him out cold. It was
quite scary as from the slips you could
hear the crack against the skull. It took
the ambulance about 40 minutes to
arrive and we only bowled another over
before the umpires called it off for bad
light.

We had to come back for a fourth day.

That night was our presentation night.
We were premiers for that day. The following day we had our chances but
Ainslie Park managed to eke out the runs
they needed for an improbable outright
victory.
In all it was the best game of cricket I
have ever played or heard of. Indeed as
testimony I have been told that Rodney
Hogg was recently asked during one of
his professional speeches what were the
three most memorable matches of his
life. His response was his first Test at
Lords, one of his remarkable performances against the West Indies in the West
Indies and this grand final he played in
a suburban competition for Warrandyte.
The match was to prove a watershed
for Warrandyte. Many senior players were
so disappointed at the result that they
retired or left the club and the scars have
remained with many since that extraordinary Grand Final.
But while the seniors were not
successful, the year produced a number of
highlights. Steve Pascoe won the RDCA
Chandler Shield Reserves batting trophy
with an average of 92.4 and the bowling
trophy with an average of 10.4. Rob
LeGuier won the Chandler Grade 5 bowling award with an average of 11.5. John
Sharman and Andrew Hood were included
in the RDCA senior representative team;
Ben Brisbane was named in the RDCA
Under 21 team and opening batsman,
Andrew Hood was selected as member of
the inaugural RDCA "All-Stars Team".
Sharman had joined Warrandyte on the
invitation of Greg Tregear who had taken
over the captain-coaching role as the
1980s rolled into the 1990s.
Sharman brought a professionalism to

training and match day that had not been

seen at Warrandyte before. For some, it
was a culture change that was difficult to
cope with but Sharman was determined
that the club would be successful.
In his first year at the helm in
1990/91, Warrandyte made the finals only
to lose in the first semi-final to Croydon
United. While the seniors fell marginally
short of a premiership, the Second Eleven
won a flag in a hard fought final against
traditional rivals Ainslie Park. The Third
Eleven made the finals, while the remaining three senior sides were all competitive. Long-serving left arm bowler, Alan
Vitiritti took out the RDCA Chandler Shield
3 bowling award.
The following season Sharman was outstanding as a player winning the RDCA all
rounder award and the Chandler Shield
batting trophy with an average of 82.2.
While the First XI failed to capture the
Chandler Shield premiership, there were
plenty of flags to fly in the lower grades.
The Chandler 4 team under the leadership of Andy King won three premierships
in a row, starting in 1993/94. It was a tight
knit team with just the right mixture of
maturity and the exhuberance of youth.
Following John Sharmans retirement as
captain, former junior player, Tony
Sturesteps, was handed the senior leadership reins. It was a fitting
appointment and again showed the importance of
the clubs strong junior program.
The First XI struggled to recapture the
form of the early part of the decade, due
mainly to the absence of some outstanding players who had either retired or
moved on.
Tony recalled that each season seemed
to be a fight to avoid relegation.
They were tough times and each year

ho could forget the initial training sessions when we

WDYTE
2 1 9
had a mass of people turn up and much to their horror,
we did some reasonably intensive fielding and more to the
VISITORS
1 4 9
point, running.
We would run laps of the ground before having a hit; we
would do fielding before batting or bowling; we would get the
bowling machine out every session; we would do laps for poor
throws during fielding training; we would do laps for dropped
catches; we would run together as a group at the end of the
sessions, then we would drink some beer in the rooms.
I can remember most of the guys at Warrandyte telling me that a purple haze used to come
over the ground and take possession of peoples faculties.
During the early sessions I would marvel as Cammy Day and Tony Sturesteps who, among
others, jumped the fence and hid as we did laps of the ground as a group.
Who could forget Chris Snaidero complaining about the running as he had already worked all
day and presumably it was eating into his drinking time.
Nonetheless I had decided if we were not the best batting or bowling side in the competition
(and I had already been told that we would not be) we would be the best fielding and catching side
running around.

we seemed to have to beat Norwood

towards the end of the season to stay in
Chandler Shield, he said.
In one of the critical games against
Norwood, Chris Snaidero snared the magic
10 wickets in an innings in the final round
of 1995/96.
I remember that after Chris had taken
the first four or five wickets, Gerald
Walshe dropped a caught and bowled
chance and we were all depressed
because we really needed the wicket. But
Chris took another wicket quickly and
ended up with all 10.
Tony said the following year Chris
Snaidero played another dominant role in
a relegation match against Norwood when
he took five wickets off 40 unchanged
overs.
I was discussing the match with the
umpires and they told me of their
thoughts on the votes for the Bill Dean
Medal. I told them I thought Bones (Chris
Snaidero) deserved a vote but they said
they hadnt even considered him.
One umpire said that it wasnt all that
big an effort because a bowler should be
expected to take five wickets if he bowled
half the days overs. I couldnt believe it as
Bones had virtually won the game for us.
Apart from Chris Snaideros 10-wicket
haul, the 1990s also provided a batting
highlight.
Wicketkeeper-batsman, Dave Mooney,
set a new First XI record with 184 against
Croydon North in 1996/97 after being sent
in as a night watchman the week before.
It was a wonderful innings. I think we
were chasing 300 or more and Dave got us
through for a big win, Tony Sturesteps
said.
Throughout the 1990s one section of
the club continued to grow and prosper.

Warrandyte had been one of four clubs to

first enter teams in the RDCAs veterans
competition in 1988 and many of the players from the premiership years of the
early 1980s returned to play the modified
form of the game.
By the early 2000s, the club was fielding
an Over 40s and and Over 50s team and
former juniors such as Peter Adams, John
Chapman, Stephen Peake, Max Summers,
Ian Broome, Brian Chapman and former
womens team captain, Jenni Chapman
were part of the veterans resurgence.
The highlight came in 1998/99 when
Warrandyte won the Over 40s Second
Division premiership against Norwood
after losing the Grand Final the previous
year.For many players it was the highlight
of their careers as they had never played
in a premiership team before.

21

Facing the new millenium

22

he turn of the century and the

start of the new millenium
brought with it concerns about
the future of the club. There were
suggestions that lack of numbers could
force the club to look for a merger partner or at worst, fold
completely. There
appeared to be a lack of interest and players were
difficult to recruit.
It was a bleak outlook but in the end, it
proved to be the clubs salvation, with
renewed interest from some of the clubs
older players who were enjoying new
found enthusiasm for cricket in the
Veterans XI.
Former presidents, John Chapman,
Robert White and Brian Cleaves all took
on committee positions and under the
presidency of Nick Fazzolari, the club
recruited the RDCAs champion player,
Russell Jenzen as captain coach for the
2000/01 season.
Efforts were made to rejuvenate interest in Warrandyte cricket and a major
function was held where the club
announced its Top 12 players from the
previous 50 years, Allan Chapman was
named captain of a team that included
John Sharman as vice captain, Graham
Jacobs, John Chapman, Graeme Lloyd,
Fred Jungwirth, Bruce Kline, Robert White,
Alan Woolcock, Gerald Walshe, Steve
Pascoe and Greg Tregear. The team was
selected by the clubs Life Members who
had to vote for players under a strict set
of guidelines.
While the seniors just failed to win a
finals berth in 2000/01, the problem with
player numbers remained and many
Fourth XI games were forfeited.
Robert White took over as president the
following year and was forced to recommend the club volunteer to relegate itself
from Chandler Shield to the Second
Division of the RDCA. Jenzen had decided
to move on and it was still difficult to
recruit new players.
It was a sad time. No-one wanted to
drop down a division. We were one of only
three clubs that had never been relegated
from Chandler Shield but RDCA rules stat-

ed that you had to field four senior teams

to remain in the top grade and we just
couldnt do that, White said.I was also
concerned that the RDCA would step in
and make the decision for us and I
thought it was better that we did things
on our own terms.
I remember standing with a group of
senior players in a rain-swept car park following Sunday morning pre-season practice and delivering the news.
I wasnt prepared to make a final decision there and then and suggested we
meet again in two weeks time and see if
anyone had been able to recruit new players.
It was probably more depressing when
we met again. It wasnt raining but the
wind was cold and the mood was even
colder. There were some angry people. We
didnt deserve to be relegated on our performance the previous season but the
players finally understood that rules were
rules and we couldnt increase our numbers.
Then I attended a meeting of club presidents soon after the new season started
and found that many were concerned
that they werent going to be able to field
four sides. We had been honest from the
start and now other clubs were admitting
they also had problems.
Even worse was to come as the RDCA
changed the rules to require a team to
only field two senior teams to retain a
Chandler Shield position.
The move to the lower grade meant a
change of emphasis which White admits
was for the long term betterment of the
club.
Greater emphasis has been placed on
our junior program and we have promoted ourselves as a community club, he
said. The aim has been to bring all sections of the club juniors, seniors,veterans together as one organisation. We
want to be successful and the best way to
achieve this is to have people wanting to
play for Warrandyte and wanting to be
part of the club.

(Second Division) has seen greater player

numbers with the reinstatement of a
fourth senior team, made up of fathers and
sons.
The senior team finished in the finals in
the first season, narrowly escaped relegation to Third Division in the second season and in 2003/04 made a fairytale run at
the finals and were eventually beaten in
the Grand Final.
But just as importantly, the Third XI,
which in the previous two years had struggled to win a game, made the finals, as did
the Fourth XI.
The First XIs run for the premiership
was extraordinary. With one game to play,
the team was in fifth position on percentage and had to play South Croydon who
were a game and percentage ahead in second place. Fourth placed St Andrews
played top placed North Croydon so
Warrandytes hopes appeared to rest with
it winning and North Croydon winning.
Warrandyte dismissed South Croydon
for 123 and during the week, senior players wrestled with facts and figures to
determine what Warrandyte needed to
score to improve its percentage enough to
leapfrog St Andrews should they defeat
North Croydon. It was eventualy decided
that two wickets down for 220 or more
would be enough ... an improbable task.
St Andrews did win, but with Adam
White scoring an unbeaten century and
Tyson Brent not out on 82 after batting for
100 overs, Warrandyte scored the necessary runs for the loss of only two wickets
and eventually finished third. South
Croydon tumbled out of the four.

A convincing win over St Andrews in

the First Semi Final followed by a nail-biting Preliminary Final win over North
Ringwood left Warrandyte to face the
might of North Croydon who eventually
ran out comfortable winners.
Nine of the eleven players representing
Warrandyte in the Wilkins Shield Grand
Final had played junior cricket for the
club.
Robert White said the season had galvanised the club into a strong group and it
had reinforced the value of its junior section.
Now for the future.
Warrandyte Cricket Club has a proud
tradition and a long history but we have
learned in recent years that we cannot sit
back and expect that tradition will be the
answer to all our problems, Robert White
said.
It is a humbling thought to walk out
and play cricket on the Warrandyte
ground, just like people have done for 150
years.
Todays players and
members have
a responsibility to create their own tradition and their own sense of history. It is
important that we, the
current generation, respect what has gone before and lay
a foundation for those who will one day
celebrate 200 years of cricket in
Warrandyte, he said.

Juniors make their mark

T is an accepted part of Saturday

morning life in spring and summer in
Warrandyte to see youngsters dressed
in white and wearing bright red caps,
playing cricket on the two ovals at the
recreation reserve. One would think it had
been going on for a hundred years.
But not so. Junior cricket at Warrandyte
began in 1957. Before that time, boys as
young as 12 would make up the numbers
when senior teams were short. There was
no chance for them to play among their
own age group.
All that changed when Les Adams, a
senior player and secretary of the club
recognised the need to encourage and promote junior cricket in the town.
Les, who was teaching at a technical
school, was involved in boys sport and
considered that a youth policy could be
useful in developing more teams. It was
not entirely coincidental that his son
Peter, at 12, was at minimum age and size
to play in a cricket team.
Box Hill Reporter District Cricket

24

Association (BHRDCA) had started an

Under 16 competition, its first junior venture, and Les was responsible for the idea,
formation and management of
Warrandytes first junior team in 1957.
Peter Adams, who went on to play senior cricket with the club, recalled that
Warrandyte had only one senior team in
this era and was struggling for viability at
both administrative and player level.
Our first junior team had limited success in the first few seasons, with just
enough wins to keep our players and
retain some enthusiasm.
Team scores of more than 80 runs were
exceptions with players lacking technique
and power. There were a few hat tricks in
the bowling, and fielding was difficult on
poor surfaces and in long grass. Les and
other senior players acted as managers,
set up matting and stumps and umpired
the matches before going off to their senior game in the afternoon, he said.
There is no doubt the advent of
juniors provided new senior players and

Warrandytes first-ever junior team was entered in the Box Hill Reporter District Cricket Associations Under 16
section in 1957. Back row from left: Bill Betton (president), Graham Pike, Bill Taberner, Graham West, Ken Sargeant,

saved the club from disbanding.

From those formative years in the late
1950s, the importance of junior cricket in
Warrandyte has continued to grow and
strengthen.
Throughout the 1960s the club fielded
an Under 16 team (in one season there
was only an Under 14 team) which had its
fair share of
success including a premiership in 1966-67.
Steve Peake was a member of that premiership team. He went on to play senior
cricket with the club. He later captained
the Second XI and was a member of First
XI premiership teams.
We were a pretty strong team in that
premiership year, he said. I missed the
previous year because we only had an
Under 14 team but we had a very successful year beating Wattle Park in the Grand
Final. Mark Davis and Michael Hanrahan
were pretty handy batsmen.

t was a daunting prospect for several

of the young Warrandyte juniors, who
WDYTE
3 1 7
under the rules (soon to change) were
VISITORS
to compete against young men allowed
1 4 9
to play after turning 16 during the
season.
Some were intimidating bowlers on
bouncing matting wickets. Only the
captain, Glen Martin, at 15 years, had
made sufficient progress towards manhood to counter such opposition.
We were prepared with coaching in defence rather than attack when
batting (no helmets) but the small squad, barely sufficient for a team, had
little other preparation. The equipment was primitive with cheap Indian
importations of green spiked gloves and flimsy pads from a well known
sports shop.
And there was more.We were required to balance a large, cumbersome,
strapless protector on the groin between miniscule thighs, a feat impossible
even for the troupe of Cirque du Soleil. There were stories of a pink plastic
version, and its ease of splitting, with parts caught between if struck by a
thunderbolt from the big boys at Blackburn Cricket Club.
Several of these giants grinned at me over the desk at Blackburn High
School with salacious intent, when they knew I would be their opponent in
the first match.
It was hard to get to sleep after training on Thursday, and on the Friday
night. Jim Heitsch drove us in the truck to suburbs which previously were
just names on a map. I keep a sequence of bats and other personal
equipment from this time in a display case, all of which are engraved or
labelled by Les (Peters father and team manager) in his neat handwriting.
The BHRDCA annual presentation nights in the 1950s had all the finesse
of an old mans bucks night. I recall being invited to receive an Under 16
bowling trophy. Before the night, my parents held a concerned discussion
about whether I should be allowed to attend.
I was 14, with another year to play, and even the association executive
was edgy about the presence of juniors, as the traditional entertainer for
the evening was a comedian selected for his repertoire of adult themes and
lewd humour.
They thought the juniors might laugh at the wrong times and would not
grasp the full proceedings.They were absolutely right.

EXTRAS

Most of the junior players also played

in the afternoon and wed go off to the
cricket in the back of Horrie Smiths
orchard truck.
Les managed the premiership team and
he continued to be involved with the help
of people such as Stan Craker whose sons
were among the junior players. By the
early 1970s an Under 14 team had been
added. The younger section widened the
pool of youngsters able to play the game
and provided a much better flow-on to
Under 16 level.
Ian Broome, later to become junior and
then senior coach of the club, was one of
the early Under 14 players.
The 1970s proved to be a decisive
decade for the junior section of the club as
it continued to expand. In 1972, an Under
12 team was introduced and Jean
Chapman remembers how it started.
In 1972, after a committee meeting at
our house, I asked the men to form an
under 12 team because my son, Brian and
Jeff Woolcock, the son of another senior
player, wanted to play and by this time
there were Under 14s and Under 16s, but
no younger grades.
The men said Were too busy, why
dont you do it? So I did. I gave Brian a
sheet of paper to take to school at
Warrandyte to get the interested kids
phone numbers so that I could call their
parents and ask them about it. When he
found out about it, their teacher, Peter
Moran, became interested and offered to
help. It would have been a lot harder for
me to do it on my own but Peter was wonderful with the boys and they respected us
both.
The involvement of Jean Chapman and
Peter Moran encouraged more parents to
take part in the running and coaching of
junior teams. By the late 1970s with the
involvement of Peter Baker and Shirley
McCartin among others, and the early
1980s under the co-ordination of Joe
Peters and Bruce Kline, the juniors flourished. And as more parents became
involved in the running of the junior
teams, so they decided to play the game
themselves in the afternoon. It proved to
be an exciting and valuable mix,
strengthening the club as a whole.
Saturday morning became a social event
and morning tea almost over- shadowed
the cricket as the Kline, Graf, Barr,
Sturesteps, Sloan, Day and McCartin families, among many others, vied for the title
of providing the best spread.
It was also the time when the club intro-

duced the McCartin Family Club Person of

the Year Award. It recognised the efforts of
the McCartin family who represented the
value of family participation in the
Warrandyte Cricket Club and which had
been part of its strength over so many
years.
Shirley McCartin was a junior team scorer and manager and her sons came up
through the junior ranks to senior competition. John McCartin was later awarded
Life Membership.
By the late 1980s, the number of junior
teams almost became overwhelming. Extra
venues had to be found and the cricket
pitch in the playground at Andersons
Creek Primary School and the oval at the
Warrandyte High School were added to a
list that included the two grounds at the
Warrandyte recreation reserve and
Stintons Reserve in Park Orchards.
While the number of teams fielded during the 1990s ebbed and flowed depending
on player availability, the strength and
importance of the junior section never
waned.
Former player and club president, Geoff
Taylor, took a leading role through this
period and Greg Thomas established an
impressive record of coaching and managing teams from Under 12 to Under 16.

t was obvious from the first day that boxer
shorts and junior cricket did not mix. It was
at the Andersons Creek Primary School and
the Under 12 third side was playing its first
game and most of the boys were 10 years or
younger.
One of the first rules the boys had to
understand was the need for protective gear,
especially a box.
Getting them to wear one wasnt the
problem getting it to stay attached when
wearing boxer shorts under their cricket
trousers was. It was quite a sight to see a
youngster trying to take a quick single
carrying a bat that was probably too big for
him, wearing pads that were up to his waist
and trying to catch a wayward box that had
slipped around his knees.
The decree was sent home that the boys
were to wear two pair of underpants when
they played so they could fit the box between
the two. It took a while for Mums to understand the significance of the rule as many had
never had any association with cricket. But
once they understood the possible dangers
we had no problems.
Monica Luttick was our star attraction. Her
son, Mark, was a keen young player, and each
morning during the break, Monica would
arrive with her cup cakes. Not that there was
anything unusual about that but Monica loved
icing (and plenty of it) and she loved colour.
One week it would be bright lime green, the
next week vibrant purple and the next a
mixture of about five different colours.The
kids loved it. And so did the Dads.

Womens cricket at Warrandyte

HE No. 2 oval at Warrandyte is relatively small. But with its quaint

outlook of gum trees lining one
boundary which runs adjacent to
Andersons Creek, it provides an ideal setting for cricket.
And it was here that Warrandyte Cricket
Clubs Womens team was based for 18
years between 1975/76 and 1993.
In those 18 years, the team reached the
finals nine times and competed in the
Grand Final four times winning premierships in 1975/76 and 1991/92.
This wasnt the first time that women
played cricket in Warrandyte. The first
match is reported to have been played on
Australia Day in 1906.
The Carlton Cricket Club came to play
Warrandyte on that day and outclassed
the local mens team. Immediately following that match, a Warrandyte Ladies team

28

took on a Carlton Ladies team and won by

29 runs to 19.
The following year Carlton came back
to Warrandyte for a return match and
again won but in a much closer result. It
was then the turn of the Warrandyte
Ladies who had organised a match against
Coldstream Ladies who proved too strong
making 82 runs to Warrandytes 19.
Regular competition womens cricket
came to Warrandyte in 1975/76. It was the
Chapman family, stalwarts of the
Warrandyte Cricket Club over many generations, who played a leading role in the
establishment of the team.
Chapman sisters Suzanne (Martin) and
Jenny had been playing with the Mitcham
club and were cleared to play at
Warrandyte. Their father, Allan, widely
regarded as one of Warrandytes greatest

his death in 1981. In their first season, the

team won every game including an outright win in the Grand final.
The initial squad included future stalwarts Maria McGhee, Teresa Prince,
Sandra Jeffs and Jenni Chapman (nee
McLaws).
Following the death of Allan Chapman
the team was coached by Maria McGhee
and then Peter Adams until the end of
1983/84.
Brian Chapman started as coach in
1984/5 and remained in the position until
the team folded in 1993.
The team was supported by scorer Ben
Jones (14 seasons) and regular spectators
including Ian Hook, Jean Chapman and
Alma Gray.
Maria McGhee, Jenny Chapman and
Jenni McLaws were all to become Life
Members of the Warrandyte Cricket Club.
Although home games were played on
the No. 2 oval, away games were often far
afield with matches being played at
Geelong and Frankston.
Warrandyte played on matting until the
mid 1980s when a synthetic pitch was laid.
Occasionally games were played against
district teams such as Melbourne,
Collingwood and Hawthorn where away
games were played on turf pitches.
Within five years of the inception of the
team the Mens senior X1 won the
Ringwood District Cricket Association A
Grade premiership of 1979/80 thereby

gaining admission to Chandler Shield. This

meant that the club was in the top level of
the RDCA and in A grade of Victorian
Womens Cricket Association.
For many seasons the club had five or
six mens teams who together with the
Womens X1 created a great atmosphere
and the club was very successful on the
field and socially.
