Tigers celebrate cricket season

ALL-rounder Karan Brar took out the Derrinallum Cricket Club’s top award at the club’s presentation night last Friday, winning the senior Cricketer of the Year trophy.

Derrinallum’s under 16 trophy winners.

Brar scored 373 runs at an average of 28.69 and took 22 wickets at 15.0 in a standout season for the runner-up Tigers.

The batting average award also went Brar’s way, while he also won a century trophy for his 117 against Rokewood in round eight of the Grenville Cricket Association competition.

Ned Uren also won a century award for his 127 not out in the same game, with the Derrinallum skipper also taking out a less fancied batting award - his three scoreless innings giving him the duck award.

Max Uren took out the bowling average award, his 11 wickets coming at a cost of just 7.36 runs each.

Charlie Londregan won the captains award, with seamer Gurwinder Samra awarded the best finals player.

Dale Hose won the most catches, with Paul Brisbane honoured with the Best Clubman award.

For Derrinallum’s premiership winning under 16 team, Fletcher Greig was named Cricketer of the Year for a season where he made 272 runs at an average of 24.73 and took 10 wickets at 17.10 per wicket.

Greig also took out the batting average award.

Alex Cronly, whose three wickets in the grand final played a big part in the premiership win, took out the bowling average award, his 12 wickets coming at 5.33 runs each.

Cronly also took out the under 16 Tigers’ most improved award.

Emmett Henderson won the coaches award, with Will Turner, Finn Gellie and Austin Price getting awards for taking their first wickets at under 16 level.

Cronly and Charlotte Henderson received the duck award with three each.

Eddie Gellie, with more than double of the next best, took out the most catches award with nine.

Gellie was presented with the finals Player of the Year award as well, after scores of 24 and 25 and bowling efforts of 2/6 and 1/10 in the semi-final and grand final.
