An announcement is also expected to come shortly on the first XI skipper.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-51537 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/websitedesigns.com.au\/elankanew\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/The-Maroons-have-retained-the-majority-of-its-first-XI-group..jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"377\" height=\"249\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The Maroons have retained the majority of its first XI group.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">De Alwis played three seasons for the club two decades ago, before going on to coach multiple premierships and enjoying finals success in the SECA with Kingston Heath, Omega, Le Page Park and Mackie.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">But he always felt a strong need to return to the club and give back.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">\u201cTo be honest, I wasn\u2019t as mature as I should have been playing at North Dandy \u2013 I was more interested in the social side of things at the time,\u201d he said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">\u201cAfter I became a coach myself, did the level one and then the level two, and left to coach, I realised there was more to this than see ball, hit ball.<\/span><!--more--><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">\u201cI\u2019ve always wanted to come back to North Dandy, I always felt like I never gave the club the best I could as a player, so I\u2019ve always had that urge to come back as a coach.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">\u201cI\u2019m 51 now, and I\u2019ve learnt a lot about what to do to get the best out of players.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">With the Maroons once again facing the daunting challenge of Turf 1 cricket, De Alwis said the message was simple to his playing list \u2013 fear no one, and make sure you give the opposition a tough, but fair game of cricket.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">\u201cWhen you think about the big three, Springy South, Berwick and Buckley Ridges, and how powerful they are, all I can ask of the guys is that we prepare well,\u201d he said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">\u201cAnd especially when we play at home, we want to make North Dandy a fortress for the opposition, and whoever plays against us, whether its our first XI or our fourth XI, the expectation of the opposition is that they have to play really well to beat us.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">\u201cWe want to give everything we have \u2013 when we walk off the field every game, we want to know we couldn\u2019t do much more. We won\u2019t go out there and play stupid cricket, we want to play cricket where we accept the responsibility of our actions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">\u201cMy thing is, no matter where you play, you play to the best of your ability \u2013 I\u2019ll put my hands up to captain the twos, and the twos will be pushing the ones every step of the way.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">De Alwis said that the focus at training, and on game day this season will be simple, ensuring that the game is broken down to little moments.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">\u201cOne thing I want the club to do, is that if you\u2019re picked in the ones or in any side, if you\u2019re a batsman you bat, if you\u2019re a bowler you bowl, otherwise you\u2019re playing with only nine players,\u201d he said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">\u201cWhen you boil down the game of cricket, it\u2019s all about the next delivery \u2013 if you break it down simply, don\u2019t fear anyone, it plays a big part.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">\u201cWhen you go out and play blokes like \u2018Spolly\u2019 (Steven Spoljaric), he\u2019s a great player at this level but he\u2019s just a human being and you\u2019ve got to break these things down.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">\u201cAnd you\u2019ve always got to hold your nerve \u2013 you could be 8\/70 chasing 90, but if you\u2019ve got mental strength you can overcome technical deficiencies.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">North Dandenong president Jason Shaw said that the proud club is prepared for a tough season, and will relish the challenge of remaining in Turf 1.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">\u201cThe consensus from the senior core players is that they wanted to stay, and if you\u2019re going to be there, you\u2019re going to be challenged,\u201d he said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">\u201cWe as a club have never been relegated \u2013 we went up from Turf 2 around 1985, so we\u2019ve been up for 35 seasons, and never besides the last two seasons have been close to being relegated.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">\u201cSo that\u2019s something to hang your hat on.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">Shaw said that the club is looking to regenerate itself with home grown talent, and while conceding that it will come with its challenges, is confident it will hold the club in good stead in the long-term.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">He also pointed to the relationship with the Masala Dandenong Football Club, who are now based at Lois Twohig Reserve as a major positive for their sporting community.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">\u201cWe want to develop our home growns \u2013 we have to put games into our players, so we understand it\u2019s going to be tough,\u201d he said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">\u201cBut we\u2019ve got some blokes that can really play, but performances haven\u2019t justified their ability, and that comes down to a lot of things, but we\u2019ve got some great growth.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">\u201cFor a Dandenong club, we\u2019ve got seven players playing Premier Cricket, and we don\u2019t want them to come back just yet, and they\u2019re 18 to 25.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">\u201cBut all have indicated they want to come back at some stage, aside from Yash Pednekar, we want him to go even higher.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">\u201cIt proves that even though we aren\u2019t a large club anymore, we are still generating 17 to 19 year olds in that bracket that are more than capable players.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Maroons to relish the challenge &#8211; By Nick Creely North Dandenong coach, Leroy De Alwis.
