Club

Cricketer of the Year - Scott Howarth

The leading run scorer in the First XI with 649 runs at an average of 41, 3 half centuries and a highest score of 155 not out in the cup make for a most deserved winner.

Clubman of the Year - Chris McGrath

Sub fielder of the Year, junior co-ordinator, stand in for the First XI whenever possible, this year was the culmination of a 5 year junior training programme which resulted in the club having a junior team playing league cricket at under 11s for the first time in a long time. Nothing is more important than having junior cricket to continue the club for future generations, and the fact that we have juniors is reflective of the amount of hard work put in by Chris over the last 5 years – a massive congratulations to a very worthy recipient.
