Season 1997/98 - A Season
To Stabilise
Following a disappointing Season in 96/97 the writing
was on the wall - look to the future or start preparing for cricket
in the District competition - would that advice (passed on by Yours
Truly on numerous occassions during the first half of the Season!) be
heeded?
During the off-Season Paul Hartle returned to the Club
as Captain/Coach replacing Rob Bedford who moved to Frankston YCW. Scott
Phillips came from Frankston East while Cameron McLeod and Gareth Park
resumed back with the club. Phil D’Agostino had moved interstate
and a number of younger players decided to move away from the Club -
Trevor Johnston to Heatherhill and Baden McWilliams, Dave Measham and
Stuart Swift were cleared to Karingal - all of these played 1st XI cricket
with their new clubs. New players to the club were Chris Burke (back
from POB), Spider Burton, Paul Henderson (back from Pines), Alby Howie,
Les Hunter, Darren & Ryan Lee, Richira Nissanka, Craig Noonan, Luke
Ritchie, Nathan Roberts, David White Lightning Smith, Nathan Swan and
Darren Watt. Players who left were Ben Bailey and Chad Wilson (both
to YCW), Rob Bedford (49 games & 2201 runs @ 50.02%), John Brown,
Lindsay Burgan, Sam Cooper, Phil D’Agostino (46 games, 442 runs
& 70 wickets @ 21.69%), Dave Hopkins, Myles Howie (Frankston East),
Trevor Johnston (29 games & 440 runs @ 20.00%), Malcolm Lilley,
Baden McWilliams (35 games & 722 runs @ 24.07%), Dave Measham (56
games & 873 runs @ 17.82%), Josh Murphy (601 runs @ 50.04%), Mark
Sargant, Alan Splatt (94 games, 2166 runs @ 26.41% & 54 wickets
@ 23.13%) and Stuart Swift (49 games, 440 runs & 146 wickets @ 11.78%).
1sts
The first half of the Season was pretty ordinary with 1st XI cricket
seemingly beyond a few of the team members and it really was not until
into the second part of the Season that we started to play as a unit
finishing in 8th position and with 4 wins in the last 5 matches.

The last half of the Season was terrific and it provided
the Selectors with an idea of what players were capable of playing at
1st XI standard in the MPCA. Top performers for the team were Paul Hartle
(353 runs @ 39.22% & 23 wickets @ 27.48%), Cameron Park (335 runs
@ 25.77% & 23 wickets @ 10.39%), Peter Conell (250 runs @ 22.73%),
Scott Phillips 238 runs @ 26.44% & 18 wickets @ 21.83%) and Doug
Van Raay (237 runs @ 21.55%).
2nds
The 2nds had a terrific Season only to falter in the Semi-Final to Baxter
which went on to win the Premiership.

3rds
Once again the 3rds proved themselves to be the measuring stick in their
Grade - in fact they were so far ahead of most of their opponents. The
good thing was that a number of potential 1st XI players were being
groomed, under the leadership and guile of Glenn Fossett who was proving
to be a terrific member of the club.

Grand Final
The 3rds were going for three-in-a-row this time playing
Delacombe Park which had drawn our last meeting although at the time
we were well in control. We batted first and Foz and Joel were in terrific
form giving us a “flier”, but good, tight bowling saw the
top and middle order collapse and it was not until Jeff Boag came to
the crease that we again had the ascendancy. Our 276 was a good score
but by no means was it comfortable. Boagy started with a quick wicket
but that was it for a fair while. On the last day Striker and Boba bowled
beautifully in tandem and while wicket-taking was slow, so were runs.
Then Disco and Homer came back into the attack and Delacombe Park found
that the hole they dug was too deep - three-in-a-row to the 3rds!

Season this fairly young team produced a lot of runs and a couple of
exceptionally good bowlers in Darren Lee and Kieran Worland.

taking 4/13 off 13 overs and Darren Lee took 3/47 off 21 overs. Our
batting was terrific with the skipper, Boat and Ryan in great touch

Semi-Final
Playing Heatherhill which we defeated in the last Round we lost this
game which went right down to the wire. Our top order batsmen struggled
for runs and it was left to Simon Fisher to hold the innings together.
Still, our 229 was competitive but they batted sensibly and with a couple
of big contributors managed to score the required runs with 2 wickets
in hand.
Long Island 229 (S.Fisher 46no) lost to Heatherhill 8/232
(T.Webster 3/67)
Runs flowed consistently from the bats throughout the
Season with Paul Henderson making 609 runs at 50.75%, Grant Kellerman
(599 @ 42.79%), Brendan Kelly (404 @ 28.86%), Nathan Swan (290 runs
@ 32.22%) and although there were no big wicket-takers, Pat Van Raay
took 16 at 20.38% and Adam Collins (14 wickets @ 22.64%).
6ths
The 6ths struggled for the Season with most players struggling - in
fact only Gary Strong (470 runs @ 47.00%), Marty Kelly (289 runs @ 57.80%)
and Paul Roach (18 wickets @ 11.94) were the only players who could
claim that they had reasonable Seasons.

7ths
The 7ths did a terrific job to make the finals with a number of players
doing well with the bat and wickets pretty evenly shared. The Season
however strated on an interesting note when Moorooduc smashed 311 off
40 overs and Brendan Woodman scored 222 of those in a short period of
time. However things went uphill after that.

Semi-Final

up, the ability just wasn’t there - still it had been a good effort
to get there.

Grand Final
The Under 16’s reached the Grand Final boasting an excellent team
chock full of confidence that they could go the distance. Langwarrin
batted first and made a pretty good fist of their time scoring 6/145
from its 50 overs - Nathan Lonie bowled excellently for 4/21 off 11
overs while Chris Hay was also economical. We lost an early wicket with
Semi-Final star Adam Poole dismissed, then struggled against tidy bowling
- however as the Innings went on we got on top and in Marc Law and Chris
Hay we had two players who capably guided us to victory.
