There was a good turnout at last nights annual club awards at the Horse and Groom Pub. Johno Petit was presented with a special award for his services to the club as he'll be moving away and unable to play for us next Year. Tony 'Statto' Hammond got the best individual bowling performance. Krishna Murali, in his first year as a member got the best bowling average honor and the special award for notable achievement in the year. Brian 'The Gazelle' Douglass retained the most runs scored in the season award with another 1000+ runs. The ever trusted nagging line of Graham 'Flipper' Pinkney again took the most wickets in the season. For the junior award, Ali Herat had improved leaps and bounds to take this trophy. He's batting and fielding were off particular achievement this year. We all enjoyed his speech! Johno cleaned up with 3 more awards for Player of the year and Batsman of the year, and Highest individual innings score. We hope he has room in the trophy cabinet! Mark Bartram was awarded for the fielder of the year for his performance. Mark also had a good year with the bat. Sam Cope with his safe pair of hands to the catches award, again having another solid year with the bat and ball also.

Thanks goes to all those who helped arrange the evening. In particular the club would like to thank the Chairman, Steve O'Neil for arranging the venue; Tony Hammond for doing a diligent job with the season stats and Jim Patel for sorting out the Trophies.
