A lot of runs were scored in 2008 with a healthy five individual centuries contributing to the total. Three of the hundreds were scored by First XI players, Andrew Cowden and Barry Cooper both notching up big scores in a huge opening stand against Bangor and Barry Cooper again contributing a ton against Muckamore.
Andrew Cowden, who had a great all-round season with 503 runs, including a fantastic 151 no against Bangor is pictured receiving his First XI Bowler of the Year Award from Roy Torrens.
Barry Cooper, who scored centuries against both Bangor and Muckamore is pictured receiving his First XI Batsman of the Year Award from Roy Torrens.
Joe Campbell was the only centurion for the Second XI this season with 113 against Cliftonville II, a contribution sufficient to secure the Vauxhall Tankard for best individual match winning performance. Perhaps the most notable of all our centurions this season, however, was Alex Haggan, whose 119 no against Templepatrick became the highest ever score for a Carrickfergus player at this level.
Joe Campbell, whose 113 against Cliftonville was enough to earn him the Vauxhall Tankard award, which he is pictured receiving from Roy Torrens.
Alex Haggan, whose 119 against Templpatrick Under-15's saw him enter the record books, is pictured receiving his Under-15 Batsman of the Year Award from Roy Torrens.
The only hat-trick of the season was notched up by Club Cricketer of the Year, Ryan Eagleson, remarkably in the first over of the first match of the season against Lisburn. TWo other young bowlers had notable hauls this season, Chris Campbell taking 7 for 13 for the Second XI in the promotion-clinching victory over Laurelvale, and Andrew Palmer with remarkable figures of 6 for 1 for the Under-11s against Ballymena.
Andrew Palmer, whose remarkable 6 for 1 bowling performance against Ballymena contributed towards his Under-11 Player of the Year Award is pictured receiving the award from Leslie Thompson.
