John has been involved with cricket for most of his life, having played cricket from age 12 right through until age 50.

His playing experience spans many competitions, across West Gippsland, VTCA, Eastern Cricket, and the last 18 years in DVCA.

Since retiring from playing cricket, John has taken on a role as an umpire within the DVCA.

Outside of cricket, John ran his own small business for 40 years until selling it in 2020, and now spends his time running a commercial consulting business on a part time basis.

John is married with 3 children - unfortunately none of whom shares his passion for the game!

John O'Connor started playing in the DVCA in 1980 and has held Club President and Secretary positions, along with a short stint as a Coach and as Captain across multiple grades.

During this time, John has seen the DVCA expand from 12 to 30 teams and introduce the innovations of Milo in2Cricket (now Woolworths Blast), a huge expansion of Women and Girl's Cricket, Vets and T20 cricket - all of which support giving as many people a game of cricket as possible.

John is in 4th year on the DVCA Executive and enjoys helping 4000+ people get a game of cricket in our community.

With a background in finance, Ann’s work experience has included management roles in compliance, project management, customer service and administration. She has also owned and operated her own gift store in her area.

Ann is passionate about working with the community, particularly local sport. For over 14 years she has volunteered her time at her local cricket and football clubs in roles from team manager to various committee roles dealing with a range of different stakeholders, suppliers and governing bodies. Ann’s husband and sons are all avid cricketers and have been playing for many years. As a cricket family, her summer months are dedicated to the sport.

After running a small business alongside his wife for over a decade in the sport/entertainment sector, Shane undertook the challenge of a Marketing and Events role with one of Australia’s leading children’s charities, TLC for Kids.

In 2020, Shane moved into a Digital Marketing position at Sport Australia Hall of Fame, playing a key role in ushering in a new digital era for Australia's most prestigious sporting recognition body, where he remains today alongside his role at DVCA.

For over 16 years, Shane volunteered his time and services at the Mernda Cricket Club, where he sat on the Club Executive, including roles as President, Secretary and Junior Coordinator, providing valuable foundations for his DVCA role.

David is a highly experienced cricket administrator. His association with the DVCA has spanned over 40 years, including roles as a player, club administrator and an umpire.
