2020 Club Awards

Oscar wins at the club Oscars

Covid may have stopped large indoor events but it wasn’t going to stop our annual awards do. We couldn’t have the traditional dinner at the pavilion so had an external, socially-distanced prizegiving. One of the big winners at our Oscars was Oscar Henderson (pictured) who had a great season for the 1st XI. Oscar shared with skipper Tristan Rissik the Lambert Shield for most league wickets while taking two more awards including Players’ Player. Cricket resumed in the second week of July with the I’Anson league allowing teams to play one another once without the prospect of promotion or relegation. Fernhurst CC finished mid-table with a 50% win rate – invincible Tilford took the title.
James Johnson bagged two awards including the Glazier Shield for most runs while club captain Mike Allen collected the Hingston Trophy for most ‘Man of the Match’ honours. 2nd XI cups went to Jude Unwin, Abdur Rahman and Steve Tytler with Jude also winning the Brunger award for Best Junior. Louis Eden won the President’s Trophy for Most Improvement, Jack Whittington the Clubman award while Sam Meier got the uncoveted yellow bath toy for Most Ducks. 
However, he was always likely to receive cups more coveted. Sam was in scintillating form for the Sunday XI all summer and rightly bagged both the Evans Shield for batting and the Warren Shield for bowling. Sunday XI Catch of the Season was a close contest but the deal was sealed in Stokesian style by Rob Unwin in the penultimate fixture at Lynchmere.
