MT BEAUTY United Cricket Club has elected its new executive.

After seven years at the helm, Ross Wilson has stepped down as club president, with Craig Henderson taking on the role.

Other executive elected at the club's annual general meeting last week were Greg McLennan as vice president, Stuart Cariss as secretary and Frank Iaria as treasurer.

In his president's report, Wilson thanked committee and club members for working together, on and off the field, to help make the club welcoming, vibrant, progressive and successful - and it was in a a good financial position.

He said a lot had happened during his tenure, including: two day cricket changing to one day cricket, new (free to players) uniforms, a new mower, a new system for the covers, a shed extension (x2), plans for new nets and new decking area, the KVSSP Frogbox, a new pitch on Les Peart, junior playing kits and uniforms, new club barbecue, new signage, the introduction of live scoring, and multiple successful grant applications.

"None of this would have happened without the volunteers working behind the scenes," Wilson said.

Reflecting on the past season, he said the club's 1sts and 2nds were competitive at times but struggled for a regular team and bowed out of the finals after the first weekend, while the 3rds battled each game and had a couple of close results, with players just enjoying cricket.

"It was a successful season for our U/12s who once again made finals and the Blast program continues to provide a wonderful opportunity and environment for our youngest players.... and the ‘Come and Try’ afternoon certainly proved to be a big hit," Wilson said.
