Who is Steve Toohey?

Steve has been involved in the Junior Club since 1999/2000 (Parkwood).  After several years of assisting with tasks such as scoring and umpiring, he did a stint as Coach and on the Junior Committee.

In 2011/12, at a time when the Junior Club consisted of only U16 teams, he took on the role of Junior Coordinator and began the task of re-building the Juniors, predominantly through building a solid base in the Woolworths Cricket Blast programs (previously known as Milo in2CRICKET).

He was awarded Life Membership in 2016/17 and remains in the role of Junior Coordinator.

What is this awarded for?

Prior to 2012/13 the President's Award was awarded to a player in their last Season in the Juniors to recognise their contribution to the Club throughout their Junior career.

From 2014/15 to 2016/17, with no Under 16 teams at the Club, the award was presented to a Junior Player to recognise their dedication to the Club and/or their cricket.

In 2017/18 the Award and accompanying financial scholarship was changed to acknowledge and assist in the development of a Junior Player who is making their way into Senior Ranks.
