The UTS North Sydney Bears are gearing up to get their season underway with a day/night T20 double header at North Sydney Oval on Saturday 21 September. As luck would have it, all three university clubs are in the same pool for the competition, and the Bears’ opposition for the big day are Sydney University (at 2pm) and UNSW (under lights at 6.30pm), so bragging rights as well as competition points are on the line!

The late great Richie Benaud said, ‘Being a Captain is 90 per cent luck and 10 per cent hard work.’ And we know that the harder you work the luckier you get in sport. And so on a wintery day last year I had the luck of being asked to Captain 4th Grade for the upcoming season.

To begin, I’ll start with a few thank you’s.

Firstly, a big thank you to Peter Speirs or Speirsy as he’s known by most. He took the reins at the beginning of the season while I nursed an injury for a few rounds. Very grateful for his willingness to do this. But also, very thankful for his sage advice and sense checking before, during and after matches throughout the season. He has an invaluable experience that I was very grateful to be able to tap into.

Overall it was a positive step forward from the 1s squad this season in comparison to the previous couple of seasons. With largely the same squad leading into the season plus a few new additions in the way of James Dallaway, overseas recruit Johny Hardman and the returning Simon Read adding extra quality to the side.

Kicking the season off with a narrow loss to Warringah despite some positive performances including Sarmad’s destructive 68 off 38 and Dan Miles 44* we just ran out of wickets falling short. The first victory came in comprehensive style against Pennant Hills, Luke Watson setting the foundations with 73, allowing other batters to play freely setting the game up for day 2. The bowling unit came out firing bundling Penno out for 39 with Dan Miles taking 5 fa 4 off 6 overs. Pushing for outright all the way to the end of the day but finishing 2 wickets short.

Congratulations to Robert Bedford - inducted into the Victorian Country Cricket League Hall of Fame today for services to Country Week and to Victorian Country Cricket at the Australian Country Cricket Championships.

Robert represented Victoria in eight Championships – the first tournament in Beenleigh (Qld) in 1985 – then 1988, 1989, 1992-1995 and 1999. During his ACCC career, he made 1746 runs @ 41.56 with a highest score of 127. In 1992 alone, he scored 433 runs @108 – an outstanding performance.

The dashing left-handed bat was twice selected in the Australian Country XI that played against India in Melbourne (1993) and against the NSW Shield team in 1994. Robert also represented Victoria Country against West Indies, Sri Lanka (twice) and Zimbabwe. He played Melbourne Country Week commencing in 1984 and represented the MPCA for 23 Years, played in eleven Premiership Teams and was Captain of six Mornington Peninsula winning teams.

A 14-time skipper, Robert won several MPCA best Country Week player awards and eventually was honoured by having the Country Week Best Player Award named after him.

On behalf of the Board of the MPCA and the MPCA cricket community, we say congratulations to you Robbie for this wonderful honour in recognition to the service given.

Congratulations to Paul Bradley - inducted into the Victorian Country Cricket League Hall of Fame today for services to Country Week and to Victorian Country Cricket at the Australian Country Cricket Championships.

Paul attended 12 ACC Championships, seven as a player and five as a Coach. He first represented Victoria at Townsville in 1991 and returned to the team in 1999. Five more appearances as a player from 2004 until 2008 before beginning his five year coaching stint from 2009 to 2013. Paul played 33 matches, scoring 710 runs @ 23.67. His highest score was 108. His tight spin-bowling was his forte in ACCC matches – 666 overs, 191 maidens, 75 wkts @ 22.39.

Best figures 6/34. Economy rate 2.52. Victoria Country won Championships in 1991, 2004 and 2007 while Paul was playing. Paul won the R M Hooper Trophy as Victoria’s best player five times – once on debut (1991) and four more between 2005 and 2008. No surprise, Paul was selected in the ACCC‘s 25 year anniversary team in 2008. He also played at St Kilda CC for several years and represented Mornington Peninsula CA at Melbourne Country Week for more than ten years, playing in eight premier teams and winning two Robert Bedford Medals.

On behalf of the Board of the MPCA and the MPCA cricket community, we say congratulations to you Paul for this wonderful honour in recognition to the service given.
