Another bumper season was celebrated at our end of season Awards Dinner at the pavilion on October 12th (full list below).
Top batsman Alex Andjel collected the 1st XI's Glazier Shield, one of the oldest and most prestigious awards. Our overseas player Saveen Gunarathne had already returned to NZ so was unable to collect the awards for bowling (the Lambert Shield) and the Captain's Award. Abdur Rahman was the big winner for the 2nd XI and also claimed the bowling shield for the Sunday XI: top batsman there was Joe Unwin while his younger brother Hamish won 'Catch of the Season' for an astonishing 70mph take - and it was a wet ball too!
'Best Junior' playing in senior cricket, for the third and final time, was James Vigar while young keeper Ruari Watt took 'Most Improved'. Sarah Roberts and Isabel Jennings won for batting and bowling in women's cricket and the special 'Fernhurst Diamonds' crystal was shared by Lisa Freeman, Lisa Langridge, Elizabeth Vigar and Jill Westley, who, every Sunday, without fail, lay on the best cricket tea on the circuit.
