PRESIDENT'S REPORT

Congratulations to all players for a most successful season.

The dedicated efforts of our hardworking committee, the responsibilities

• f our coaches, team managers and so many parents resulted in us having our

four teams in the finals. This year we started to see many players

moving up to the Senior Club for matches in both the Under 19's and

the lsts. In 1980, a good number will gain permanent selection in these

teams and the work of the past 5 years is showing that Australian Football

in Sydney is improving each year.

To those who worked hard on Hills & District Association, North Shore

Association, S.A.Y.A.S. Sydney Council, our various Representative Teams

and trips away matches - a very big thank you. To Joan Edwards and Barbara Spence - the Club's appreciation for a job

well done in 1979.

We do appreciate the support of the Pennant Hills Senior Club and Lensworth

Finance Ltd. in providing the trophies for this year and also to Lindemans Wines and the C.B.A. Bank for their continuing support to our Club.

To Ian Mercer (our Under ll's coach) and his family, we extend our

appreciation for the interest and efforts you have given the Club over the years and we trust you will enjoy your new home in Queensland.

We are all very pleased to see our Vice-President Stan Edwards recover

from his recent illness - thanks for your efforts Stan from all of us

at "Baulks".

Our Club has progressed again in 1979 and all our teams performed very

well -

I trust that our new Committee will receive t!le good support they

need to continue to be the top Club in 1980. John Morris,

PRESIDENT

SECRETARY'S REPORr The achievement of all 4 teams reaching the final series should have made 1979 a most successful year; however the disappointments were

evident when several of our teams did not perform up to their ability. Final matches are different games, unfortunately no team was successful in gaining a place in the Grand Final. Congratulations nevertheless

must go to all boys, coaches, team managers and willing helpers for

getting all teams to the finals and the fine spiri~ the games were

played in. Congratulations to Pennant Hills Junior Club for their premiership wins in both Under ll's and Under 13's. Also evident was the fact that if we do not get more vocal representation

• n the North Shore Association, we will remain the under priviledged

"poor relative". Some of the decisions and policies made by "that" body must not be allowed to be repeated in future years if Junior

Football is to prosper in all areas. Recruitment this year has been our most successful since our club

was formed and 4 complete teams were fielded each week with a spattering

• f both experienced players and new players learning our code.

Publicity in local papers this year has been really great, if a little inconsistent at times.

We thank Barbara and Trevor Spence for compiling

andaelivering these articles to the papers each week.

A ve=Y successful committee function in form of Progressive Dinner

got the season off to a flying start and made new members, coaches and

team managers seem at home.

Home game raffles again proved popular $120 being raised over 6 weeks. Thanks to Sylvina Mercer for organising these each week - to the girls

for selling tickets and to those of you who donated prizes throughout the year. 200's club ticket again went off pretty well - although it was annoying that some. people took tickets and neither sold orieturned same.

The

big prize of $100 was won by Kevin Rue (ticket sold by Stan Edwards

• no commission received!).

The Association Dinner Dance this year held at Baulkham Hills Sporting Club was attended by a large number from our club and was voted a

great night by all - $360 was raised for Association during 1979.

Our thanks must go to - *Baulkham Hills Sporting Club for their support during the season, the

availability of club's facilities for meetings or functions and the ;nterest shown by other divisions in our progress.

*Soccer Division of Castle Hill Sport & Recreation Club for permitting us to have use of Castle Hill Showgrounds for training.

*All coaches, team managers and many interested Dads who helped in training and fielding teams each week. Also Mums

for washing jumpers, preparing cordial and oranges, not to

mention vocal support during the year. *Special thanks to Barbara Spence and her cheer squad girls for

their banners and colour they added to the finals games.

Many of our administrators and corranittee members are inaugural members of our club and having served 5 years are now phasing out from the workload.

Therefore we are looking to the newer parents,

especially with boys in the younger age groups to come forward to

fill these important positions for the following year.

I can assure you a lot of fW1 and satisfaction can be gained from

active involvement in your club. Finally, I wish to thank Barbara Sp~ce,

my Assistant Secretary

for the willingness to assist with any task throughout the season

• it certainly was a great help.

Hope to see you all in Season 1980.

Joan Edwards.

TEAM REPORT - UNDER ll's

With only 8 players eligible from last season a most successful 1979 was enjoyed by the Under 11 Team. However, as in the two

previous seasons we were eliminated prior to the Grand Final.

These players combined with our recruits to form a formidable combination which deflated nearly every side in the competition,

the exception being Pennant Hills.

You should have seen the first training session, Ian Mercer's frown was nearly cracking his face!

How could we form 18 players

into a combination? Fortunately he did it in about 4 weeks with

tremendous assistance from John Simpson and many keen fathers. Midway through the season we had lost only one game the most memorable one being the defeat by 5 points of last teams runners- up, St. Ives Saints.

We continued on our winning way until we ~t

Saints again, who gave us a nice thrashing. This se8med to lower the boys ~orale

and although they won the next 2 ga~es

Pittwater

crushed them in the last home and home game.

The boys did not appear to overcome this defeat, as the following week, again against Pittwater in the first Semi-Final, they went down by 6 points.

congratulations go to:

David Weedon (best and fairest), his .tenacity

consistency and natural ability has made him one of the top rovers in the competition. Darrin Simpson (runner-up) started slowly, however his fitness and speed rapidly improved to enable him to gain most

• f his votes in the "latter half of the season.

Adrian Harrington (Most Improved) came to us after playing both soccer and league. However in no time adapted to Australian Football to become one of

the most promising full-backs we have seen.

His performance with the

• rep. team gained him selection in the Sydney Training Squad.

Warren Spence (Best Team Man) , this is the second year he has gained this award which proves that not only is he a consistent ball-getter but a popular players amongst his team-mates. These boys, as well as Greg Harry (our Captain), Gary Davis, Michael Crompton, Lloyd Brown, Paul Seller and Craig Salmon all gained selection

in the Hills and District Representative Team for the Sydney Round Robin.

Unfortunately the team was beaten by 6 points for the Sydney Champion- ship however, possibly their biggest thrill came when they represented

Richmond (Victoria) in the little league during the half-time interval

at the s.c.G. before 16,000 people at the Richmond V's Fitzroy V.F.L.

Game.

Ironically they were beaten by the same team by 6 points.

As performance and ability gains selection in this team their

selection shows the form these boys disp1aye:d during the season.

Some commendable games were played during the season by Nicky Mathews, Darren Birbeck, Graeme Wilson, Adam McDonald, Andrew Lowe, Gary Mercer, Timmy Mathews, Glen Brown, Michael Murray, Clyde Place, Brian Beatty and Leigh Klintworth. Many of these boys have not seen cur oval ball before and if their keen-ness

is any indication some will become good footballers.

Our thanks go to Ian Mercer (Coach) , John Simpson (Asst. Coach) Mark Seller (Goal Umpire), Steve Mercer (Boundary Umpire), Barbara

(for her keen-ness), those parents who assisted during the season

and last but certainly not least families of supporters. Good Luck in 1980. Coach: Ian Mercer Team Manager: Trevor Spence Trevor Spence (Team Manager)

BAULKHAM HILLS - UNDER 13 's

The team has completed a very successful season. Ten wins and four

losses coupled with an axceptional percentage of nore than 400 secured second position on the premiership ladder at the end of the

home and away games. The second semi-final saw us go down to the

eventual premiers, Pennant Hills.

We fared little better in the

preliminary final against St. Ives which relegated us to third

• position. After such a fine season it was a pity we didn't get it all

together in the final series. Captain Todd McKernan ably led his team and was an inspiration to his side; particularly the younger members. Best players for the year were Paul Whelan, Todd McKernan and Dean

Brown, each figured amongst the best players in almost every match.

Others to do well were Gerard Thripp, Ian Calligan Rod Salmon, Michael Prescott, Terry Brown, Andrew Cochrane, Michael Ringbauer, Chris Ashmore and Robin Drew. All these boys were chosen for the

Hills District representative squad which won the Sydney District

Championship.

Congratulations boys. Voting for the Best and Fairest Trophy w.?.s extremely close and it

was a pity we did not have three trophies as only a few points

separated the top three players. Paul Whelan was the winner with

Todd McKernan runner-up.

Best team man was Dean Brown and the Most Improved deservedly went

to Andrew Cochrane.

Twenty eight boys w .

ere registered and with the exception of only

• ne, they continued to train and play throughout the entire season.

It certainly made team selection each week very difficult as the

policy was to give every boy a run regardless of football ability. Tribute must be paid to coach Peter Hall, all the boys have benefited

from his tuition, not only in the skills of football and team spirit,

but also the true sportsmanlike attitude and approach to our great

game. To the boys who leave to progress to the Under 15's, "The best of

luck fellas".

The boys remaining will be the backbone of the team

next year and great things are expected from them as "senior" players.

UNDER 15 1 S TEAM REPORT

1979 proved quite a successful SE'.a.son for

TJnd

r ~:r

1~

's t~am.

At completion of home and away ga.lles the team had lost only 3 games and were in 3rd position on ladder.

An unfortunate

loss to Forest in preliminary final where our kicking for goal really let us down - we should have been goals ahead!!

At commencement of season the t eam looked a little short of

talented players but soon developed into an evenly balanced

formidable line-up playing good fast, play-on teamwork football, which was practised on the training field. Experienced players D avid Wheeler, Michael Edwards , Stephen Mercer and Craig Perkins l ed the way. David Wheeler - proved a fine captain and worthy winner of B & F aware the way he continually contested t he ball, his will

to win and physical strength and marking ability around the

ground.

Michael Edwards - winner of runner-up trophy deserves the award

for his consistent effor ts.

Michael has played for many years

but this must be his best year yet, his marking, kicking ability

and accurate handball are feat ures of his game . Craig Perkins - unfortunately was not ava ilable for every game

but his i n f luence was felt in games he featured in.

His fast ,

• pen styl e of football not onl y gained kicks for himself but

continually br ought other players into the game.

Congratulations to Cr i ag for being se lected in NSW State Shell Cup Team.

Players from last year to show considerable improvement were

David Wilson , David M

iller, Tim Roberts, Darren Love, Richard

Deller, John Nelson and Sean McGuire.

David Wilson - a boy that could have played in many positions

but proved more value to the team at full back, for his consistent defending of the goals.

David Miller - proved to be one of our most versatile players

fiercely contesting the ball whether at full forward or defence.

A great improver!! Proven plaoyers from interstate were a boost to our team.

Craig Brown, Kevin Beatty, Terry Donohue and Gerard Piper. Craig Brown won Best Team Man award which was well deserved.

Craig plays consistent and determined football, travelled from Windsor each i

.... eek for training and played in numerous positions

• n field wherever he was most value to his team.

New players recruited from the other codes of football were headed

by Robert Bakss , Malcolm Cliftlands, Peter Van Vleet, Ken McKenzie, Paul McHugh and Mark Bull. Robert Bakss - proved a real find - it was difficult to believe it was his first year as he adapted to ruck play really well, starting

to take marks around the ground and hardly missing a tap-out.

A

worthy re~ipient

• f Most I m~r
• ved

Award.

An indication of this boys ability was his selection in training

squad for Sydney Metropolitan Under 15's team.

Malco_m Cliftlands - proved a real winner playing on the wing. He gathered the ball in well, has shown incredible speed and was

really starting to learn to pass the ball to team roBtesc

Two boys who added to the team played several years ago and returned

this year were David Jones and David Thompson.

Thanks to our many Dads who helped throughout the year especially Bob Wheeler for his help on the training track each week and Team Manager Ben Wilson for keeping paperwork i n order. Both these Dads came f rorn other codes - namely rugby and soccer but are now

both keen advocates of our brand of footb?ll. Special thanks to Ian Mercer and Ray Johns for taking this team over during my recent illness . Sorry between all of us we couldn't get a premiership! Stan Edwards - Coach

NSW State Shell Cup Team

UNDER 17's TEAM REPORT

For the first time our Club was able to field a complete team all season in the Under 17 age group and we were successful in moving

into the finals.

Our team was very unlucky not to have played in

the Grand Final, however all teams in the competition knew they

had played Baulkham Hills. Thanks to our Coach, Kevin Hall for his interest, efforts, late

night planning of strategies and training throughout the season.

Also our thanks to Ray Johns and Stan Edwards for their help in 1979.

Special congratulations to: Best & Fairest Richard Roberts had a great year. His inspiration

and desire to win lifted our team in many games. Runner-Up Terry Thripp proved a great acquisition this year and his

ball handling and skills were a great asset to the te&~.

Most Improved Mark Hull in his second year showed a great improvement

in speed and ability to get the ball.

A good season Mark, keep it up.

Best Team Man Geoff Raynor's application tothe game and his unselfish play throughout the season gained him this well earned trophy.

Always a good team man and ot1r congratulations Geoff. Many players did well this year - Captain Stephen Edwards kicked 35 goals and his marking and kicking was always a pleasure. Tim Byrnes

determination lifted the side often but Tim was dogged with a number

• f injuries during the year.

Andrew Morris continued to utilise his

ball handling skills and good reading of the game to bring many others into the play in each match and also played in the Under 19 team for the

season along with Stephen Edwards, Paul Camilleri, Mark Hull, Richard Roberts who frequently gave of their time also.

David McPherson, Greg Prosper, Darryl Johns, John Raprager and Martin Smith played some great football during the season and we can look forward

to seeing them play even better in 1980.

David Deller and Paul Bawden both had a good year with some sparkling games.

We were lucky to o to have Clark Bransgrove, Richard Champion,

Stephen Eayres and Bromley Williams in the side and their desire to win the ball and get on with the game helped make up a top team. Michael Thompson was always reliable and a great team man and our thanks go to Ivo Mikulchic, Martin Him for their dedication and support. Special congratulations to Stephen Edwards, Paul Camilleri, Richard Roberts and Andrew Morris (reserve) in making the Sydney Teal Cup team for 1979 -

a big thrill for our Club and for each of those players.
