Club Player of the Year - Spickers, with Charlie as runner-up.
Clubman of the Year - Charlie for hours of selfless work on the Arbo square.
Most League Runs - Jon by one run from Charlie.
Most League Wickets - A three-way tie between Richard, Smudger and, following his single wicket on Sunday, Coco.
2nds Player of the Year - Jon.
3rds Player of the Year - Richard.
The Buchie Award (fastest run scorer) - Norrie, who scored his League runs at 5.8 an over.
Coastal Erosion (slowest run scorer) - Ken again, although this year's rate of 1.6 an over was a significant acceleration from last year's 1.25.
Quack Quack Oops (most League ducks) - Smudger (5).
The Wolrige Tankard for the player with the best spirit - Eight separate nominations, but Bimbo wins by a head from Andy Q and Broonster.
Most Improved Player - Usama by a distance from "McGill the batsman".
Most Disappointing Season - The winner is the President's body and not the 2nds. I repeat, not the 2nds.
Most Memorable Team Performance - The 1sts' win away vs Watsonians, the eventual League champions.
The WG Grace Award for the Best Older Player - Richard.
Best Younger Player - Usama.
The Most Entertaining Moment of the Season - Last year's winner was the 3rds for managing to get three batsmen to the wicket at the same time at Carlton as Keith and Coco both thought they were next in. This year they went one better with four batsmen in the middle at home against Dunfermline as both Coco and Keith G succumbed to the Campbell Park sniper and required runners.
The Botham Award for the Most Heroic Individual Performance - Manon for single-handedly turning the away game against Boroughmuir with a quickfire 60 to remind us how much we miss him.
Catch of the Year - Runners-up were Spickers' diving catch for the BFLs to dismiss Edinburgh's star batsman and Andy G's one-hander on the boundary against Marchmont in the Masterton. But the run-away winner was Russell Eberst for two superb slip catches against Smellies.
The James Bradley Memorial Princess Hissy Fit Trophy - Joint runners-up - first, for the second year running, for his consistent excellence in minor on-field tantrum- and huff-throwing, but in particular for his performance after being bowled against Boroughmuir, the man who has described Dr Bradley as his mentor more than once - Charlie; second, CA Smith for letting a ball through his legs and blaming his twin/captain. But the winner, for those not very "sobber", not very long-lived blog postings and for his mid-season resignation is Ziggy, who becomes the first man to retain the Broken Tiara - all the more extraordinary given his constant good humour on the field whatever the provocation.
Trigger - Sorry, Mike.
Distinguished Hawaiian Shirt Wearer of the Year Award - Broonster. It'll go nicely with his extensive collection of Stade Francais rugby shirts.

If you look hard enough on t'internet, you can find the minutes from a local Conservative Party selection meeting. I won't bore you with the details, but I enjoyed this bit:
ReplyDeleteLady Primrose Morningside-Wartblister: Well Mr Brown, your application and credentials appear to be absolutely impeccable and you have performed to a magnificent degree at this interview. We were particularly impressed with your extensive slideshow of your visit to the corner shop and I'm positive that your selection as Conservative candidate for the forthcoming election where we aim to re-take Scotland is all but assured. Just one more thing before you go, can you please explain that hideous shirt...
Mr Broonster McCraig: You could say I'm a cab for hire m'Lady.
ReplyDeleteLady Primrose Morningside-Wartblister: Ooooh, magnificent, he's genuine cabinet material.
ReplyDeleteI look forward to sharing a twin room with you on the next Cross tour Frazerio. Let the rumour mills work overtime....
