Presentation Evening 2004


The 2004 season was finished with a good turnout at the ground on Saturday evening. Fortunately we were blessed with a dry mild night and the evening kicked off with an excellent buffet prepared with great care by Hillary and Debbie. This was served in the new "Extension/Stage area".

Then to the main event of the evening, the presentations. The 3 captains all said a few words of thanks to their players and people who had helped out off the field. Jonesey made special thanks to Nige for resigning as this was probably the main reason why the Sunday team stayed up!!!.

Mr Derek Smallwood was introduced as our guest of honor in recognition of his company, Business Healthcare’s kind sponsorship. He then proceeded to present the following awards.

Individual awards to the Second Eleven squad for the runners up spot in div 6.

1st Eleven Batting           M Cheshire
2nd Eleven Batting         B Woods
1st Eleven Bowling         W Lippeatt
2nd Eleven Bowling        B Woods

1st Eleven Players Player    W Lippeatt
2nd Eleven Players Player   P Hutchinson

Clubman of the Year       P Hughes

Chairman’s Performance of the Year        B Woods

Gifts to the clubs scorers, Lucy Dougie and Stephanie

Gifts to the tea ladies Sue and Helen

Trophies were also presented to the three players who played in the Tomlins who did not play in the final, R Walker, P Hutchinson and L Willis  

Mr Smallwood then went on to say a few words of congratulation on what had been one of the club’s best ever seasons. He thanked the club and said he was proud to be able to support it.  

The Final award was the eagerly awaited Walker Trophy and Rob managed to keep everyone guessing until he finally announced the winner as Scott Dickens who had come with a late surge to take the cup. Billy and Ben were the runners up with Dave Evans missing out this year. Out of all the players who represented the club this year only Brian failed to register for this most prestigious trophy.

Rob was finally thrown off the mike and after a few technical problems the karaoke started and finished before Chesh finally closed up somewhere around 1.30am.

So season 2004 ends and in due course we will look ahead to 2005.
