WHITCHURCH Wayfarers Cricket Club Colts marked a very successful season by holding their presentation evening at the club.

The U13s had a perfect league season winning all their games and were crowned as champions. Billy Barriball was the leading player but received excellent support from all his team during the season.

Prize winners: best batsman, B Barriball, runner up J Monger; best bowler C Hodges, runner up D Monger; all rounder C Barriball, best fielder, D Towl; sportsman, B Megicks.

A special award was presented to Ben Hodge for the outstanding feat of taking five wickets in a single over.  

The U11s had a competitive season and finished mid table. This was a very encouraging result, given that at the end of April it appeared unlikely that the club could even field a side.

Prize winners: Best batsman C Barriball; best bowler W Partington; best fielder E Nettleship; all rounder C Hodges; sportsman A Trevethan.

The winner of the Pedrick Cup for the colt of the year was Billy Barriball, who not only scored three consecutive centuries at U13 level, but has transferred his form into consistent performances for the second XI in the Devon league.

The Beaver cup for the most improved player was presented to Josh Towl.

Finally, a new award was presented for junior clubman of the year. The shield, which has been created in memory of Den Crocker, is intended to recognise the contributions of the younger members of the club. The inaugural winner was Stephanie Credicott who has been the first XI scorer for several seasons.
