President’s Report
Well, what a different world we find at the end of the 2019-20 season from the one we
knew in October!
What a shock to find cricket and all sport cancelled. I guess we always think there will be
challenges for sport from a changing society but I do not think what has happened was ever on anyone’s
radar.
Where does all that has happened leave us, what do we need to do to get back to where we were?
While we can look back on what was another successful season for the Eastern Cricket Association
across all of our various competitions, we were very lucky that our competitions were able to be
completed.
We need to approach the task with optimism and not fear.
There is also a need to recognise that society and the authorities will impose changes on us and we will
need to adapt our sport to the new environment we occupy.
A glance at most sports indicates that they are up for the challenge of adapting to stay relevant, almost
all have gone through changes, as has cricket and I am confident we will emerge from the pandemic and
be playing cricket, with a few tweaks, come October.
As always there is a host of people and groups who in no small way contribute to the successful
operation of the ECA and they include:
Our Life Members & Patrons.
Our ECA Executive Members and Office Bearers, and in particular the outstanding contributions of
Operations Manager Rod Patterson (in particular for collating this annual report), Assistant Operations
Manager John Dinneen, Vice President Mike Slattery, Turf, Synthetic and Veteran Managers Greg
McLeod, John Franklin and Eugene Fitzwilliam together with Finance Manager Tom Hickie and the other
Exec members Michael Mirabella and Dan Bomford. The ECA Exec has been a cohesive and committed
unit that has attended meetings and constructively debated and resolved many issues during the
season, I thank all the members for their invaluable input.
Thanks to all the members of our subcommittees, the Turf Wicket Committee, the Synthetic Wicket
Committee, the Veterans Committee and particularly Stuart Hamilton and the Junior Executive that run
a competition nearly as big as the Seniors with much less resource.
A big thanks to Sharon Lynas and all involved in the Junior Girls competition for their great work in
continuing to foster the female talent in the Eastern Suburbs.
Thanks to Paul Devine and all the coaches and managers of the Junior Rep carnival in Jan 2020 as well
and James Binney the coach of our U21 team.
Our Umpires Association and all member umpires and particularly the contributions of Umpire Manager
Dan Bomford, President Chris Main and Secretary John Wood. Thanks also to Gary Male for his work as
Umpire appointments officer.
3President’s Report Thanks to our Local Government Authorities including the Cities of Boroondara, Whitehorse, Manningham, Monash, Stonnington, Knox , Yarra and Maroondah who in fact should be recognised as among our principal benefactors. Our sponsors, including ball supplier and T20 naming rights sponsor Kookaburra, Minute Press, Bendigo Bank, Australian Sports Camps. Congratulations to each of our Premiership winners, individual medal winners and batting and bowling average winners. Special mention to Dunstan Premiers North Balwyn CC, MacGibbon Premiers St Pauls CC and LOC1 Premiers Vic Cavaliers CC on winning the top grades on their sections, and Edinburgh CC as Kookaburra T20 champions this season. I would also like to extend a special thanks to Michael and Chris Mirabella for putting together the online presentation, including conducting interviews, especially the fantastic interview with Marnus, and the hours needed to come up with a very professional final product. Imperatives for the coming season will by necessity revolve around ensuring there is a season, however among the things we will need to handle are: - Implementation of the points rule - Helping the Junior section administration with additional resources - Maintaining the financial health of the association and our Clubs - Engage with local councils on financial matters and ground access The Cricket East Metro proposal that would see the ECA, BHRDCA and RDCA come together in a transitional body as a precursor to an eventual merger has proved very difficult to make any progress on. Despite many hours of time committed by Mike Slattery, Neil Dalrymple, Rod Patterson and Greg McLeod, the talk has not yet borne any fruit. As Ringwood has effectively terminated its involvement, it is hard to see where it will go from here however the ECA remains open to any arrangement that will ultimately be of benefit to the ECA. Rick Barker President 4
Executive Council Report
Season 21 started at the Annual meeting in August 2019 with all previous season’s clubs returning.
In the off season North Balwyn Combined CC merged with St Barnabas CC to form Balwyn Saints CC
and would put teams in both Turf, Synthetic and LOC competitions. St James Malvern Valley CC
would make a name change to Malvern Valley CC.
The Executive underwent minor change as Gerard Petrie stood down. He was replaced by Michael
Mirabella. Also Mike Slattery and Richard Barker swapped roles with Richard taking on the President’s mantle
Once again the LOC competition expanded with the traditional synthetic competition contracting. We moved the
Carr Shield to the LOC competition to compensate for these changes in response to club and player needs.
As usual the cricket season tossed up its share of issues with droughts, smoke/smog and then the Covid-19
pandemic.
The Executive responded quickly to the Covid-19 issue by forcing completion of all grand finals over the weekend
of March 17 and 18, before any restrictions came into force. Many other associations were not as forward
thinking and had to cancel grand final games. Thanks to the ECA Juniors who had to rejuggle games to other
venues so everything could finish.
The Kookaburra Twenty/20 final was between Heathmont and Edinburgh played at Heathmont Reserve and the
ECA appreciates the support of both Heathmont CC and Maroondah Council in hosting the grand final. The winner
was Edinburgh.
Cricket Victoria’s Metropolitan Cricket Review continued to progress slowly. However following a restructure in
April 2020 at Cricket Victoria this initiative looks like being shelved.
Our Sponsors continue to give their support to the association and on behalf of all members I thank Kookaburra
Sports, GI Printing/ Minute Press, Fort Knox Self Storage, Bendigo Bank .
The initiative from last where turf grand final venues had the club finishing higher the opportunity to host was
continued. In the synthetic and LOC grade a club’s primary ground could be utilised by a side if they did not utilise
that ground during the season.
The Executive was advised late in the season that Steve Oluc would be relinquishing his role as Turf grade
secretary. Thank you Steve for your contributions.
Also we have been advised that Dan Bomford would not be seeking re-election. From all the Executive and the
Umpire fraternity, thank you for your charming ways.
I would like to thank all the hard working Office Bearers for their work to ensure ECA continues be one of the
better run cricket associations in Victoria.

Operations Manager

6Treasurer’s Report
It gives me great pleasure to present the Financial Statements of the Eastern Cricket Association for the 2019-20.
The Association recorded a surplus of $11,581 for the year compared with a deficit of $5477 for the 2018-19
season.
Total income of $121,674 (2018/19: $121,914 was in line with last year while total expenditure of $110,093
(2018/9: $127,381 saw reductions in Ball Subsidy to Clubs ($15,515), Scorebook Printing ($4,318), Inter
Association Costs ($10,115) with Helmet Subsidy, Club Workshops, Presentation Night Costs and Umpires
Development Refunds being the major increase in comparative expense for the year.
Your Executive is conscious of the financial challenge member clubs may face in a post COVID-19 environment
and has structured the Association’s financial position to provide support as and when required.
The cash position and Members Funds balance as at 31 May 2020 is appropriate given the current circumstances.

8Independent Auditor’s Report
To the Members of Eastern Cricket Association Inc
To the Members of the Eastern Cricket Association
I have audited the 2020 Statement of Assets and Liabilities, included in the attached special purpose financial
report, of the Eastern Cricket Association (ECA). However I have not audited the Income and Expenditure
Statement for the financial year ended 31 May 2020, and other explanatory notes also included in the financial
report.
Executive Council’s Responsibility for the Financial Report
The Executive Council of the ECA is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial report,
and have determined that the preparation is appropriate to meet the needs of the Associations Incorporation Act
(Vic) 1991 and is appropriate to meet the needs of the members. The Executive Council’s responsibilities also
includes such internal controls as the Executive determines is necessary to enable the preparation and fair
presentation of a financial report that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditor Opinion
I have conducted an Independent Audit of the Statement of Assets and Liabilities in order to express an opinion
on this statement to the Members. Based on the evidence provided by the ECA Finance Manager, I have formed
an opinion that the Statement of Assets and Liabilities fairly presents the value of assets and liabilities at 31 May
2020 in accordance with the requirements of the Associations Incorporation Act (Vic) 1991
My audit has not involved performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in
the Financial report, nor has it involved reviewing internal controls to assess whether they are appropriate and
adequate to ensure proper presentation of the financial report.
Accordingly no opinion is expressed in relation to the adequacy of the ECA's internal controls or accounting
procedures. Furthermore, no opinion is expressed in relation to the fairness or adequacy of the Statement of
Income and expenditure for the year ended 31 May 2020
Restriction on Distribution
Noting my comments above, I disclaim any assumption of responsibility for reliance on the Statement of Assets
and Liabilities within this financial report, or on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities to which it relates to any
other person other than the ECA members, or for any other purpose for which the Statement was prepared. I
further disclaim any assumption of responsibility for the Statement of Income and Expenditure.

9Umpires’ Report
Thank you for this opportunity to contribute to the ECA Annual Report.
May I express my gratitude to those who have contributed to the learning and development of our umpires
during Season 2019-2020.
This includes:
• our ECA President Richard Barker, his Executive and the ECA Committee – and I am most grateful for that support;
• Rod Patterson, Operations Manager, and Members of the ECA Committee for providing officiating opportunities, and for
their continued positive attitude towards umpiring. In return, the umpiring body aspires to support the ECA by delivering
a professional standard of performance and behaviour throughout the ECA’s competitions;
• John Dinneen, Rod Patterson, Greg McLeod and Mike Slattery from the ECA Committee for their sage advice;
• the ECUA President Chris Main, his Executive and the ECUA Committee for their support;
• the ECUA Committee for facilitating the training opportunities at Association meetings;
• Members and others who have assisted with the development of umpires through observations, study
notes/questions/answers, arranging handouts and audio-visuals, asking pertinent questions, and for keeping us focused;
• Members and others for their involvement at training, both at meetings and practical training sessions; and for managing
our interactions with Cricket Victoria and Cricket Australia including Umpire Accreditation;
• Members and others who conduct appraisals and provide feedback to aspiring colleagues;
• Team Captains who conduct appraisals and provide feedback on our match officials;
• individuals especially ECA Club members, players and delegates who act as umpires during the home and away season,
and during the Finals series; and
• Clubs that support training in many ways such as the Canterbury CC and Mont Albert CC for the use of their venues.
I am exceedingly grateful to Garry Male for his optimistic approach, all his time and effort in preparing umpire appointments,
managing changes, dealing with feedback, and providing advice to our ECA panel of umpires and Club officials.
Challenges this year included:
• finalising the list of ECA umpires;
• the application of our ECA playing conditions in both seniors and juniors;
• player misbehaviour regardless of whether ECA umpires were appointed to a match;
• umpires failing to take appropriate or any action with player misbehaviour;
• the umpire grading and appointment process. Umpire dissatisfaction with rankings is a difficult chestnut to crack given
the majority of feedback is subjective;
• umpires advising of their availability/unavailability, and the associated appointment changes required; and
• a disrupted season due to weather including bushfire smoke and, towards season end, COVID-19.
Communication with individual clubs, captains and umpires has continued this season. The main objective of communication
is to receive and provide constructive feedback that, in turn, hopefully improves umpire performances and relationships
between umpires and Club stakeholders.
What have we considered/begun?
Prior to the season, Peter Knox of Mont Albert CC proposed that the ECA establish a Keith Carr Fellowship to be used for
umpire development. Details of the Fellowship were intended to be considered/explored.
Although not yet formally launched, this Umpire Training Academy envisages a range of training and development
opportunities.
One possibility is to fund an ECA umpire (and partner) to travel to the UK for a reasonable part of the UK season, say 12
weeks, to improve his/her umpiring. Challenges with that include:
• developing a relationship with a UK competition where umpires are already well accredited;
• only 1 umpire could be involved (who may leave the ECA upon his/her return to Australia);
• the umpire would need to supplement the Fellowship and fund his/her own accommodation, transport, living expenses
etc;
• the umpire (and possibly partner) would be required to gain leave from work/studies for 12 weeks;
• currently, only umpires at First Class level participate in these development programs, for much shorter periods, and this
may not be appropriate for ECA umpires.
10Umpires’ Report
The ECUA Executive supports the establishment of a Fellowship to improve ECA umpires, and feel that it would be better to
use funds allocated to the Fellowship to improve a greater number of umpires so that, in turn a greater number of ECA
stakeholders will benefit.
An alternative possibility could involve 6 - 10 umpires
• in programs within Australia for shorter periods;
• to work with Cricket Victoria’s Premier umpires;
• to officiate during Country Week, the VMCU junior carnival and the Youth Premier League (YPL);
• to attend CA/CV umpiring courses;
• to be mentored by former, experienced senior ECA umpires on match days.
We thank Peter Knox for the Keith Carr Fellowship proposal, and look forward to further updates.
What have we achieved?
We have encouraged a range of umpires to officiate in various carnivals including the VMCU junior carnival and the Cricket
Victoria (CV) Youth Premier League (YPL). David Wright and Brian King officiated in the 19/20 YPL with members of the CV
panel of umpires and, in so doing, broadened their experience of other competitions, playing standards (i.e. at a higher
quality level) , playing conditions (i.e. local rules), and umpiring colleagues. This type of cross-pollination, especially with
more experienced umpiring colleagues from CV assists the development of our ECA umpires.
We have encouraged our umpires to attend the CV Winter Classes on The Laws of Cricket and, again this year, offered our
umpires a copy of the CV Winter Class handouts - another useful reference and resource, at no cost.
We conducted a training and development session with Stuart Hamilton and Hugh Wilkinson from the ECA Junior Committee,
to update relevant umpires on junior playing conditions. Similarly, we conducted a session with John Dinneen who led a
discussion on good/poor behaviour, managing with poor behaviour and the caution/reporting process. Both sessions were
appreciated.
We called on Greg McLeod on multiple occasions to update the panel of umpires on the ECA playing conditions. I greatly
appreciate Greg’s expertise and understanding of the PCs.
In the short term, we should:
• encourage more umpires to make themselves available for carnivals like the VMCU, YPL, Country Week - depending on
which competitions are held in 20/21;
• offer to reimburse those umpires who attend the CV Winter Classes. The cost to the ECA would be less than $100 per
umpire, payable as a reimbursement after the umpire attends all the classes.
We look forward to seeing the fruit of these considerations and achievements in the form of improved umpire performance.
New umpire performances
It appeared that the season would begin with six new umpires joining. We conducted an evening introductory session for
new umpires that was attended by our ECA President Richard Barker. We also conducted a Sunday morning practical session.
Both sessions were conducted at Canterbury CC, and we thank them for the use of their venue. Thanks to Chris Main, Garry
Shipp, Mike Slattery, Geoff Wheeler and John Wood who participated from ECUA. New umpire performances continue to be
very satisfactory and aspiring young umpires (male and female) continue to perform well. I sincerely hope that these trends
continue.
Training and Development, and aspiration to higher levels
In addition to the regular monthly training and development meetings
All umpires were invited, and several attended Cricket Victoria’s Winter Classes during May/June 2019 including Pawan
Srinivasan and Barry Simpson. We said farewell to Bharath Rao and Nick Davies at the beginning of Season 2019-2020 and
wish them well as they explore new roles on the Premier Cricket panel of umpires with colleagues Swapnil Awekar, Dario
Licheni and Tim Norton.
All umpires were invited, and several attended Cricket Victoria’s regional seminar series. Conducted by Jason Leonard-Scott, Cricket
Victoria Umpire Manager, the seminars (Ringwood, Monday 9/9/19, six ECA umpires attended; and Mulgrave, Wednesday 11/9/19,
ten ECA umpires attended) focussed on umpire accreditation / re-accreditation; changes to Laws including those relating to run out
of the non-striker. Also commentary on the use of helmets, Working With Children Checks, Childsafe Policy.
11Umpires’ Report Our umpires were invited to volunteer on Sunday 9/2/20 in support of the Bushfires Charity Super 6 competition organised by DUCC. Thanks to Adrian Lynch, Graham Morna and Barry Simpson for directly supporting this cause. Attendances at meetings progressively declined (due in part to some students not returning to tertiary study in Melbourne), although involvement at meetings increased. Further feedback suggests more changes and a range of other techniques can further improve the experience for our ECA panel of umpires. We attempted to re- introduce the audio-visual Stephen Fry animated series on The Laws. We have continued to encourage members of our ECA panel of umpires to use a variety of resources to enhance their private study. Useful resources include: • The Laws of Cricket • the MCC’s Changes to the Laws document • local playing conditions • adjuncts to umpiring techniques including: o handouts from Cricket Victoria’s Winter Classes provided by Cricket Victoria o Tom Smith’s Cricket Umpiring & Scoring As there was no Premier Cricket Final, we were unable to fulfil our anticipated training session on the hill at Cricket Victoria’s Standard of Umpiring. The overall standard of umpiring has again been good and is encouraging, often with high marks being allocated by our Team Captains. The feedback provided by our Team Captains is invaluable as it constitutes the majority of opinion, critique and appraisal our umpires receive. Captains’ opinions go a long way to the ranking that determines finals' appointments. In thanking them, I encourage our Team Captains to continue to provide objective and meaningful advice that will assist our umpires to develop further. A series of acceptable marks for a match without commenting further gives little feedback. Congratulations Congratulations to all ECUA and ECA members and participants for another year of achievement and improvement. Congratulations to all officials and teams for participating/managing/competing, and reaching finals and for achieving Grand Final berths/premierships in the wide variety of competitions and carnivals (such as the Cricket Victoria Youth Premier League (YPL) matches, VMCU Junior Carnival etc) in which we officiate at senior, junior, veterans and women’s levels. Congratulations especially to: • Steve Oluc and Mark Price for officiating in the Dunstan Shield grand final; and • Adam Collinson and John Westwood for officiating in the MacGibbon Shield grand final. Congratulations to Iain Graham, recipient of the Community Match Official of the Year at Cricket Victoria’s 2019/20 ‘A Sport for All Awards’. Cricket Victoria ‘Iain has been a great supporter of the Eastern Cricket Association junior cricket program. Iain has always made himself available to umpire junior games at short notice and doesn’t mind where he travels to.’ Iain is an excellent umpire and student of the Laws. A richly deserved award for work well above the norm in umpiring all levels of games and being the appointments officer for our ECA Juniors for the last two seasons - a long-time colleague, former President, Treasurer and Life Member of the ECUA. We also thank the ECA Junior Committee for Iain’s nomination. We must strive for higher standards of performance - the ECA and the Community expects nothing less. To this end, an invitation was extended to our ECA panel of umpires to voluntarily attend a training and development session at the Premier Cricket Grand Final. The objective was to observe the umpires, analyse and discuss their communication, positioning, routines, player management and processes as a training exercise. Those who attended found the exercise useful. Thank you all for your support. Your contributions go a long way to make officiating in our Association enjoyable and successful.
