Mick's back as Senior Coach for Ballan for 2018/19
Ballan Cricket Club welcomes back Mick Loughnane to take over the reins, of Senior Coach, from Noel Heafield.
Noel is staying on as our President to continue the good work that he started last season.
Former Coach and President, Mick is keen to take on the role again and try to inject some more professionalism and pride into our senior teams. Mick's qualifications go with out saying, but I will tell some of them.
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.

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.

Jase lost a bet, thanks to the Renegades losing, and had to be relieved of his 'man bun' / 'top knot'.
Not a bad result for the club.
That is the cut off hair in his hand!



*Quotable Quotes*
Umpire - What arm do you bowl?
KB - He knows ( the batsman) I got him out last time.

KB Quote: At the One Day C Grade Semi to the opposition Keeper as he (KB) comes on strike.
'Looks like the weapon might get these runs'
