Award winners for 2020... Winner - Nige Allen In a year when there were plenty of people who did so much to ensure we had cricket to enjoy, Nige's effort in ensuring we had a functioning bar whilst the club was "covid secure" and a place where all of us could feel safe went above and beyond anything we could have expected. The screens, hazard tape and 2nd hand traffic cones will probably have to remain in the Spring but because of Nige's efforts this year we'll be in good shape whatever 2021 throws at us. A special mention here as well for Andrew Kilby who took it upon himself to organise a scratchcard which raised about £400 for the club - exactly the kind of enterprise in raising funds for the club that we need! Winner - Josh Taylor This has previously been awarded by our coaches to the youth team player who has best embodied the love of the game, often the "unsung hero" of the team. However, without any youth cricket this summer we turned our attention to one young player who best embodied the qualities associated with this trophy. Josh's enthusiasm for the game is unrivalled by pretty much anyone else at the club. He'll be there on a Thursday night, Friday night on a Saturday afternoon and (if we had a game) a Sunday afternoon too. I've never seen him put in less than 100% to any training session or game, even an in-club game! He's also one of the most improved players at the club over the last couple of years and continues to improve with more opportunities. Congratulations to both Nige and Josh - these awards are fully deserved and we will endeavour to present these awards in person next year when we can meet in person. ---------------  |
