Wauchope’s Matt Day will again fill the secretary role while Michael Pelley is back for another term as treasurer.
Both have worked on the committee for several years in various positions.
Craig Lobegeier is a mover and shaker in Mid North Coast Cricket and a great representative from the umpires.
Darren McCudden from Beechwood is the heart and soul of the committee who president Nik James believes gives it to you straight.
James has played in the local competition over the past decade and has worked on the Port City committee over the past six years.

“We’re all individuals from different backgrounds and this provides a good balance of opinions but in the end we just want the best result for all concerned and with an eye to the future.”
“I’m happy to say I also seek advice from other experienced members on all sorts of issues including Pat Kerr, Harry Brady, Merv Bourke and Paul Byrne.”
