CricConnect Volunteer Recognition Series - Darcy Klemm – Mulgrave Cricket Club

Some cricket journeys are straightforward. Darcy Klemm’s has taken a few turns, and that is what makes it meaningful.

For Darcy, Mulgrave Cricket Club represents something simple but powerful.

It is a place built on competitiveness, but also on inclusivity. A place where people are welcomed, supported and given the opportunity to improve.

To some, he’s a former player. To others, a coach.

But to most people around the club, he’s simply "the sausage man."

CricConnect Volunteer Recognition Series. Peter Langston - Waratahs Cricket Club Armidale

Peter Langston describes himself as a cricket tragic, but to those who have been part of the Waratahs Cricket Club in Armidale, he is far more than that. Over decades Peter has become one of the most significant figures in the club’s history, dedicating countless hours to both the playing and preservation of the game.

Peter joined Waratahs Cricket Club in the 1978/79 season as player number 357 and played his final match for the club in 1991/92, with a couple of seasons away when he was living elsewhere. On the field he was an upper to middle order batsman and an occasional bowler, known for his medium pace in-swingers.

CricConnect Volunteer Recognition Series. Mark Norris - Western Suburbs District Cricket Club

Few people have been around Western Suburbs District Cricket Club for as long as Mark Norris. His connection with the club stretches back more than six decades, built on a lifetime of loyalty to the black and white.

Mark first watched Western Suburbs play at Pratten Park in 1964. Bob Simpson was batting that day, and it was the moment that sparked a lifelong connection with the club.

CricConnect Volunteer Recognition Series. Simon Trowell - Northern District Cricket Club

Simon Trowell’s connection to Northern District Cricket Club stretches back to the mid 1980s, riding his BMX to Waitara Oval to watch training and matches. As a kid, he could not believe how quickly Peter Taylor bowled his off spin. Those early impressions left a mark.

After three years playing Grade Cricket in Canberra while at university, Simon trialled with Northern District upon returning to Sydney for the 2000/01 season. He joined the committee in 2006 and is now completing his twentieth season in an official capacity. In total, he has been involved with the club for more than a quarter of its 100 year history.

CricConnect Volunteer Recognition Series. Deb Kasmar – Warringah Cricket Club

In 2021, Warringah Cricket Club President Chris “Beachy” Melville invited Deb Kasmar for a coffee to discuss getting involved with the club. That conversation led to Deb joining the committee — a role she proudly continues today.

Her involvement began even earlier, when her son Noah played the occasional game for the club in 2019. What started as supporting her son gradually evolved into becoming a central figure in the club’s community life.

Sam Stone – Player and Official

The Parramatta District Cricket Club was well served both on and off the field by A.S. ‘Sam’ Stone, he was one of the bona fide, gold-minted volunteers that have kept NSW Premier Cricket Clubs operating since the Premiership’s inception in 1893/94.

He was an extremely able and efficient administrator with the Parramatta [Central Cumberland Club] District Cricket Club, making his mark as club Secretary over an extended period, including stewarding the club’s operational activities through the chaotic years of World War II.

Vale Don Sellin 1944 - 2026

The club mourns the passing of Don Sellin, Life Member, loyal servant, and much-loved character, who was part of our community for more than six decades.

Don joined the club in the 1950s and remained actively involved until the past ten years, when ill health gradually made it harder for him to attend. Even then, his connection never faded. He stayed in touch with many members, kept a close eye on results, and continued to follow the fortunes of the club with the same quiet passion that had defined his involvement for so many years.

Ross Leonard - Appreciation Post

Today, we acknowledge one of our game’s greatest servants.

After more than a decade of Junior Vice-Presidency, and many more years spent in roles spread across the committee, Ross Leonard has decided to take a step back, as confirmed at this years AGM.

Ross began as a volunteer in the 1980s when he took on the role of coach for his sons’ cricket teams at the Eastern Districts Cricket Club. From then he joined the Newcastle Junior Cricket Association and served as Vice President, Secretary and undertook other roles for some 20 years. With the amalgamation of Newcastle City & Eastern Districts Cricket Club in 2001, Ross has since served on the committee of Newcastle City including many years as Junior President. His unwavering support has ensured the ongoing success of the junior programs at the club, with over 160 youngsters playing cricket each week.

During his many years of service, Ross has performed an endless number of tasks. From coaching junior teams which have contained players who have progressed through the Grade ranks, some continuing on to higher honours, opening ground facilities, marking wickets and setting out boundaries on game day or providing support and guidance to any young (or old) player and coach alike, just to name a few.

Ross’ tenure has been one of great progression and success at both Junior and Senior levels. His expertise has grown our club into one of the largest Junior hubs in the Newcastle region. We have claimed 4 junior Club Championships and have been the pinnacle for continued growth in Girls’ cricket.
We aren’t the only benefactors of Ross’ stellar history of volunteering in the cricket community. He has had heavy involvement with the Newcastle Junior Cricket Association also and as a result of this, is a life member of both the NJCA and NCCC.

While Ross felt he simply “didn’t have the energy” to carry on in the Junior Vice-President role, he isn’t just stepping away immediately. Typical of the man, he will be “sticking around” to hand the reigns over to the new incoming Junior Vice-President, Richard Wood.

There is plenty more that could have been said about Ross’ invaluable contributions to our Club, and cricket in general, but we think the picture has been well painted. We know Ross will still be around the grounds, checking in and supporting from the sidelines.

To you Ross, we say Thank You!

Message from the President – Fitzroy Doncaster District Cricket Club - Past Players, Parents, Partners and Supporters

The Lions are seeking your support. It’s not too late to volunteer to join the General Committee or head up one of our major functions for the year.

The actual day-to-day running of the club and match day is well taken care of with the Game Day Administrator, coaches and players all contributing to the smooth running of the Club. So, the time commitment is not what you may think. We are looking for people who can contribute small amounts of personal time.

My other life in volunteering is as President of Bankstown District Cricket Club, a club steeped in tradition from Thomson and Pascoe to the Waugh twins and many more first-class players. As a Club we have supporting the development and growth of cricket in Uganda for well over a decade through providing them, on annual basis, a container load of new and used cricket gear from suppliers, other clubs and individuals from all around the State. We could not have done this without the support of our extraordinary volunteer group and sponsors such as the Bankstown District Sports Club.
As a Club we were overwhelmed with joy when we recently learned that Uganda had qualified for the 2024 ICC T20 World Cup. We can proudly say that we had some small part in creating that success and growing the game, that I and many others love so much, in emerging cricket nations like Uganda.

Last, Friday, I attended the Cricket Victoria Premier Cricket Awards night at the MCG, representing Prahran Cricket Club.
It was a wonderful occasion to reflect on an amazing 2022/23 season and soak in the camaraderie with other club administrators, players, media persons, managers, and board members from across the premier cricket ecosystem. A plethora of awards were given away with the winners exemplifying cricketing values and serving as inspiring role models for the others in the room.
My club won two awards - the Women's competition Spirit of Cricket and the Women's Under-18 Player of the Tournament. Looking back at the men's competition, we came agonisingly short of the Club Championship, finishing second after the last home & away game, and four premiership flags after falling short in the finals. Cricket reinforced the importance of going the extra mile with these results and we start all over again come summer 2023/24.
