Young Cricketer of the Year This year's winner, Michael Gilmour, has shown trmendous potential at every level during his development at the Club. After an initial lean period, he started to score the runs everyone has known he is capable of. He scored consistently well in the second half of the season and earned a promotion to opening the batting in the last few games, culminating in a fine fifty against Waringstown at The Lawn. He scored a total of 268 runs for the Club this season at an average of 17.87. He also represented Irish Universities and scored a fifty against MCC in Dublin and chalked up a massive score 170 in the Irish Universities championship themselves.
