HUMAN RESOURCES (STAFFING)<br />
Angela Dunn continued as the <strong>Club</strong> Administrator for the year, but has since resigned to further her career as an artist<br />
with her love for painting pictures as the guiding influence. Special thanks to Angela for her valuable contribution over<br />
the past six years. Dipak Patel remained Director of Coaching and Roland Phillips as General Manager. Casual paid<br />
employees included the bar staff and Academy coaching staff. The Accounting and Treasury function of the Board was<br />
again fulfilled on a voluntary basis by Virginia Hughes as head of the Finance & Admin Committee.<br />
Our sincere thanks to all our volunteers who make substantial contributions with administration (Liaison Officers and<br />
committee members), coaching, umpiring, scoring and general support.<br />
WHITE CROSS PRIMARY SCHOOLBOYS CHRISTMAS TOURNAMENT<br />
The annual White Cross Primary School Boys District Tournament for cricketers in year 8 and below was again hosted by<br />
HPCC at Lloyd Elsmore Park from the 27 th to 31 st December. The organisation and running of this event was again top<br />
class and thanks must go to all those who assisted in ensuring that this tournament continues to be a success.<br />
This year the two Manukau teams were again dominant over their opposition with both teams comfortably winning their<br />
respective sections. HPCC again had a good representation of players in the two Auckland teams that were selected from<br />
the tournament and both the Auckland teams were captained by HPCC players.<br />
CRICKET WEEK<br />
The week commenced with our annual clash against Cornwall for our junior tournament teams from year 4 to year 7 –<br />
again Cornwall proved too strong for us and retained the trophy. We again hosted a local round of the primary schools<br />
competition (Tuesday), had the local secondary schools T/20 games (Wednesday) and Monday night Twilight <strong>Cricket</strong><br />
also continued as well as the state of origin games (Thursday). Friday night games for juniors at our “picnic in the park”<br />
evening is proving to be a great success. The week ended with the hosting of our Junior Quadrangular tournament in<br />
which the teams managed to win back the trophy from University.<br />
TWILIGHT CRICKET<br />
Twilight cricket successfully continues to be a way for those who can’t make all day Saturday to still get in some fun<br />
cricket. This year we tried a Thursday and Wednesday evening on top of the normal Monday nights and six additional<br />
teams entered taking the number of teams this year to eighteen. Special thanks to our Twilight sponsor, David<br />
McCullough from Ron Enright Tools, for again running a great competition.<br />
