Award Winners at Club Dinner

Vauxhall Tankard Award The Vauxhall Tankard Award is presented to the individual who contributes the season's most outstanding match-winning performance. This year, the honour goes to a young player who played a memorable innings for the First XI against CSNI at Stormont. His match-winning innings of 95 from just 96 deliveries before he out in the final over, just missing out on what would have been a richly-deserved century. Michael Gilmour's performance is a deserving winner of the Vauxhall Tankard.

Young Cricketer of the Year This year's winner, Jordan McClurkin, played a lot of cricket this season. He played international cricket for Ireland at Under-19 and Under-17 levels, and also represented both Ulster and Ireland Schools. He enjoyed his first full season on our First XI, keeping wicket and, from July onwards, opening the batting. He scored 253 runs at an average of just under 20, including a maiden Premier League half-century with a fine innings of 68 against Ballymena.

Second XI Batsman of the Year Although he only played in half their matches due to First XI call-ups, Ivan Walker was the Second XI's leading run-scorer with 256 runs at an average of 28.44 and a high score of 74.

Second XI Bowler of the Year The winner started the season as a batsman who has bowled very occasionally. Due to cricumstances, however, Jason McAuley started bowling on a regular basis and ended the season as the Second XI's leading wicket-taker. He finished the season with an average of 17.08 and had best figures of 5 for 43 against Woodvale.
