Under-15 Bowler of the Year Glenn Shimmon, the winner of the award this season is still competing at Under-13 level and so, remarkably, has two full seasons left with the Under-15 team. He topped the Under-15 bowling averages with 11 wickets at 8.54. He was selected for the Belfast Under-14s for the Lords' Taverners' Inner Cities Cup and ended the tournament as top wicket-taker at Arundel.
