St Albans Cricket Club Prizegiving Winners, 2007/08

« Previous season (2006/07)  |  Next season (2008/09) »

The club held a successful prizegiving evening at the pavilion at Hagley Oval on Friday, April 4, featuring guest speaker and awards presenter, former Black Cap and current New Zealand Cricket chief executive Justin Vaughan.

The awards covered the 2007/08 season's play for all men's teams and the top four women's teams. The junior teams had their prizegiving earlier in the season, on Saturday, March 15. The winners of their awards can be found here also.

Premier men's pace bowler Justin Gourlie was the night's big winner, taking home three awards - the Tom Burtt Memorial Cup (most wickets in one grade), the Don Sandman Memorial Cup (most wickets in any grade) and the grand prize of the club's overall player of the year award.
