Presentation Night 2014

6/11/2014

0 Comments

 
Winnington Park CC celebrated the 2014 season with a Presentation Evening held at Winnington Rec on November 1st. Park players, friends and family enjoyed a buffet, a sports quiz and there was even a free pint for all the members of the 2nd XI team that won the T20 cup! The main reason everybody was there though was to see who would come away with this year's awards. See below for a full list of winners, all pictured with chairman Ian Johns - and a couple of special guests here and there!

1st XI Players' Player of the Year: Rob Begbie

Rob served an important role with both bat and ball for the first team in 2014, scoring 239 runs at an average of 14.94 whilst adding 24 wickets at an average of 22.29.

2nd XI skipper Alec Butcher was another double-winner, his 443 runs at an average of 44.30 earned him the batting prize.

Most Improved Player: Justin Andrews

After only being introduced to cricket in 2013, Justin has already cemented his place as a 3rd XI opening batsman as well as earning a number of 2nd XI call-ups.

Most Promising Player: Sam Speak

This award had been coming for some time for Sam, he earned it this season after a good year with the bat - including his first ever 50 - and making his 1st XI debut at just 16-years-old.

Club Person of the Year: Hazel Gething

Hazel is the linchpin to the Park's junior set up, providing invaluable help at matches and training. Her valiant efforts as the club's social and fundraising organiser also earned a lot of money for the Park.

Champagne Moment of the Year: Iain Connor

With the 2nd XI needing five runs from the final ball of the game to win the T20 Cup, Iain Connor smashed a huge six over long on. A moment that led to wild celebrations from players and fans alike, and one that will not be forgotten by anyone who was present.

There were two players who also picked up awards but were unable to attend the evening. Simon Barnes won the 3rd XI Bowler of the Year after he picked up 12 wickets at an average of 18.08, narrowly beating out his son Dan Barnes who finished level on wickets, but with a slightly worse average. Ashley Houghton also picked up the All-Round Performance of the Year in a 2nd XI game away at Langley when he took 4-47 from 15 overs, and also added 45 with the bat - snatching victory for the team from what looked like certain defeat after they had been 60-7 chasing 120.
