Trinity College completed arguably its most successful season in 2003/ 2004 with all teams from Years 8-12 experiencing a high degree of success throughout the season. Moreover, the level of participation in cricket has been very encouraging and places the college in a strong position for upcoming seasons. Congratulations particularly go to the Year 10 A squad that completed a most successful season in Term One of 2004, finishing in 1st place in their competition with three wins, one loss and two draws. Similarly the 2nd and 3rd XI’s finished in 1st place with five wins and one loss each, in their respective competitions. The strength of these performances is due to the comprehensive coaching program currently available from Years 4-12 that is staffed by qualified and enthusiastic coaches, coupled with the improved playing and training facilities at the college. This program continues to be supported by an enthusiastic and diligent parent cricket committee that assists greatly in making many of the events within the cricket program possible. From a coaching perspective the 2003/2004 season has been one of the most enjoyable that I have been involved with during my eight years at Trinity College as coach. Part of this is of course due to the success of the teams and individuals that you coach. However, a number of other factors have also made this season a satisfying one. Firstly, the level of camaraderie amongst players that have represented the College this season, which was most evident during matches when players sat together and took great delight in the success of their peers. It was also demonstrated through the spirit and level of application of the team in the field, particularly in fighting games out to the end as was the case in the tie against Aquinas College, and also in final match against Scotch which was won with minutes to spare. Secondly, the level of cooperation, commitment, initiative and leadership at training that enabled twenty eight or more players to consistently work together to achieve training goals and coordinate their own drills and activities under supervision, made the hard work and planning all the more enjoyable and satisfying. Thirdly, the positive attitude adopted by all players to selection, which at times was most difficult due to the strong competition for places within the 1st XI, made this aspect of coaching easier and significantly more effective in selecting the best equipped team to represent the college in the Darlot Cup each week. Outstanding performances throughout the season included the consistent batting of Matt Fawcett and the bowling of Year 11 student Dane Lazarus who collected 20 wickets in his first Darlot Cup season. Matthew Birrell’s 114 in the final match of the season was most impressive and demonstrated that occupation of the crease with prudent shot selection and excellent running between wickets is the best formula for producing match-winning scores. I would also like to highlight the support provided by the senior players within the squad and for their contribution to the coaching program, and, the cooperation, commitment and support of the parents that made this season really enjoyable. I would particularly like to recognise the contribution made by Preston O’Keefe (captain) and Chris Wills (vicecaptain) throughout the season for their outstanding leadership on and off the field. I would like to thank all coaches for their efforts throughout the season, especially Mr Murray McKenna, Mr Rainer and Mr Porter, and also members of the Trinity College Cricket Committee for their invaluable service through the season. I look forward with great expectation to the next season.
