Congratulations to Ballan's 1st XI Captain, Michael Snaith, on receiving the highest BCA award for the 2nd Grade competition.
Michael picked up the 'Bernie Davey Medal' at the Association Awards night held last Wednesday at the Ballarat Golf Club. He follows previous winners of the Medal including, from most recent, Cam Dunne, Noel Heafield, and Chris Mullane ( dual winner). (Sparra's medals weren't called the Bernie Davey when he won his). Michael won the most prestigious award convincingly with 24 votes, voted by the BCA Umpires at the games. The nearest rival was Russell Sharp from Buninyong on 12 votes followed by Justin Murley from Coronet City with 11 votes. Our own Ben Loughnane polled 9 votes to finish a credible 8th place. Michael not only won the Bernie Davey Medal but also took out the 2nd Grade Champion Player with 834 points. These points are worked out from the individual player's season statistics; wickets, runs, catches & run-outs. Michael's season ended up with 327 runs off the bat with an average of 25.15 and bowling figures of 36 wickets @ 7.08 ave. He also took 4 catches and assisted with 2 run-outs. |

He has already started with the seniors doing some pre - season training at the Indoor Cricket Centre in Ballarat He has played over 150 games for Ballan since joining us in the 2002/03 season. He was Senior coach from 2005 to 2010 and became a life member in 2015. Has won many Association awards including; Senior Batting, Catches, Batting Aggregate and runner up in the Bernie Davey medal voting (twice) Mick has coached our U14 and U16's to premierships and was our 2nd XI Premiership Captain in 2011/12. One of the best batsmen that has played with Ballan and within the district as well. His highest score with Ballan is 209 n.o. along with 8 centuries, 2 x 150's & 2 double centuries. All of these figures are only since his time with Ballan. |
About Us.
The Ballan Cricket Club currently has 3 Senior teams and one under age team competing in the Ballarat Cricket Association & 2 in the MJCA for the 2018/2019 season.
Current teams for this season are: Senior 1st XI - BCA 2nd Grade comp , Senior 2nd XI - BCA One Day A Grade comp, BCA One Day B Grade comp. BCA U15 1st XI comp.
Two junior teams playing Friday nights with the MJCA U 12A & U12B.
We had another relatively successful season with our Senior 1st XI making the Preliminary Final , whilst our Under 14's won their Grand Final.
In 2015/16 season, Cam Dunne won the top award for the 2nd Grade competition, with the Bernie Davey Medal, after Noel Heafield won the same award the previous season.
Michael Snaith continues with the role of captaining our senior 1st XI, with Shane Newton taking on the 2nd XI captaincy and John Costello taking charge of our 3rd XI.
We are also fielding two Under 12 teams in the Melton Association Junior Competition with them playing on a Friday night between 5 & 7.30 p.m. This initiative is filling a gap between Milo cricket and the Ballarat 13 & Under (which will also be on a Friday night) competition, giving up and coming young cricketers a chance to have a game of competitive cricket and to keep their interest.
This season sees our Under 15's playing in the 'Optus' U15 1st XI competition.
With a decrease in our U16 numbers this season, we were unable to field an Under 16 team.
Mick Loughnane returns this season as our Senior coach with another past cricketer in Chris Stirling taking on the coaching position of the Under 15's.
Troy Connor, Anthony McIlwaine and Peter McGregor all coach the U 12's.
The 'Milo" cricket will be back on Thursday nights, with a name change. 'Woolworths Junior Blasters' again as there are a lot of kids who enjoy getting a start to their cricket careers.
Training will still be at Ballan.
The Centurions supporters club is still continuing with the BCC to bring non playing members ( ex players & supporters alike) together to be recognized as a large and ongoing part of the club.
Well done to all of our teams for the previous season & good luck for the current season.
And many thanks to our sponsors and supporters.
