Award Winners at Club Dinner

Young Cricketer of the Year Iain Parkhill at last rid himself of the 'promising' tag this season to firmly establish himself as a vital member of the First XI. As an all-rounder, he is capable of match-winning performances with both bat and ball. With 164 runs at an average of 18.44, (high score of 35 not out), and leg-spin accounting for 23 wickets at an average of 15.83, (best of 4 for 20), he deservedly reatined this award.
Junior Bowler of the Year Young fast bowler, Anthony Martin had an outstanding season in 2002, regularly opening the bowling for the Second XI and making a number of appearances for the First XI as the season progressed. A great young prospect, he took 14 wickets at an average of 18.50, with a best performance of 4 for 16. He also showed a stark improvement with the bat over the course of the season.

Junior Batsman of the Year As the First XI's all-time leading run-scorer, Nigel McFarland is perhaps more accustomed to handling the senior batting award, which he received on several occasions during the 1980's and 90's. So, having decided to step down from top-level cricket this year, it is little surprise that he excelled this season and is a worthy winner of the Junior Batsman award. With 278 runs at an average of 30.89 including two half-centuries and a high score of 64, it seems that Nigel is enjoying his cricket in this more relaxed atmosphere.
