Senior Player of the Year: Andrew MacLaren who finished with the 3rd highest dismissals by a keeper in the CSL Eastern Premier Division this year.
President's Award: This award is decided by the President and is kept secret until the day of the presentation.
It is based on the President's opinion of the person that has contributed to the club "behind the scenes" and whose value is invisible to most at the club. Most will not know but the winner this year is someone who comes to the grounds almost every day of the week during the summer. He attends to the square and the outfield, prepares and marks the wicket so that teams are able to play a match on the weekend as well during the week for our junior games – most often in games he does not take part in. He is back down after the match, repairing the wickets, preparing the square and then starts all over again the following Monday. He has been doing this for a number of years and his contribution to the club is immense.
It is with great pleasure (and long overdue) that Martin Reid is this year's recipient of the President's Award.
Finally, a special thanks to all those family members of each of our players both seniors and juniors, who have made it possible for us to field teams across all sections in the club.
Without your support, assistance, chauffeuring, tray bake abilities and many other contributions you provide, our players would not be able to represent the club week in week out. It has been a hard season on the field for some of out teams but as we look at across all our teams and plan for the future, there are many positives we can build on and look forward to.
