π THATβS A WRAP ON THE ADULT SEASON! π
Saturday 29th August, we came together for our Adult Awards Night to celebrate what has been another brilliant season for Springfield Cricket Club.
The 1st XI finished 5th in the Hamro League after playing Goresbrook last week end to finally round up the weekend! π
π 1ST XI PLAYER OF THE YEAR - CALLUM EVA
13 innings | 250 runs | 14 wickets
A superb season from Callum, who has been a huge contributor with both bat and ball.
π 2ND XI PLAYER OF THE YEAR - PRADISH PHILIP
11 innings | 321 runs | 22 wickets
The 2nd XI secured 2nd place in the T-Rippon Premier Division, narrowly missing out on becoming champions. Pradish has been outstanding throughout the season and thoroughly deserves the award.
π 3RD XI PLAYER OF THE YEAR - JOSH VINCE
12 innings | 376 runs | 16 wickets
Itβs been a tough season for the 3rd XI, with relegation to Division 4 confirmed after the weather prevented their final opportunity to secure their position. But Josh has been exceptional throughout, and we have every faith the 3rd XI will come back stronger next year!
π 4TH XI PLAYER OF THE YEAR - NILESH BHOOTRA
11 innings | 153 runs | 18 wickets
After a rocky start, the 4th XI pulled things together and finished 8th in Division 6. Nilesh stepped up halfway through the season to take on the captaincy and was unanimously chosen as their Player of the Year.
π 5TH XI PLAYER OF THE YEAR - BILLY ROBERTS
11 innings | 277 runs
In their first season in Division 12, the 5th XI - made up largely of our young Colts and older boys - did brilliantly to secure 5th place. Billy had a fantastic first senior season and is certainly one to watch for the future!
π T20 XI PLAYER OF THE YEAR - ABHI MURUGESH
5 innings | 118 runs
The T20 XI enjoyed a great run through to Finals Day, unfortunately falling at the semi-final stage against Wivenhoe Town. Abhi was a key part of the side and fully deserved the award.
π WOMENβS PLAYER OF THE YEAR - LAURA HITCHEN
8 innings | 110 runs | 1 wicket
A season of highs and lows for the Womenβs team as they took on the challenge of the new hardball Elev8 League. Laura stood out with the bat, ball and in the field throughout the season.
π BOWLER OF THE YEAR - LEE BROOKS
23 games | 36 wickets | 184.2 overs
Someone who gives absolutely everything every time he steps onto the pitch. Another outstanding season from Lee - and weβve definitely lost count of how many times heβs picked up this award! π
π BATSMAN OF THE YEAR - JAMIE CASSON
26 innings | 633 runs
After just missing out on this award last year, Jamie went one better this time around. An incredible season with the bat and a thoroughly deserved winner.
π ALL-ROUNDER OF THE YEAR - CHARLIE PRUDENCE
18 innings | 234 runs | 5 wickets
A player who has pushed every physical boundary this season - often limping his way through to the following Friday! π A huge amount of effort and commitment all season long.
π PERFORMANCE OF THE YEAR - CALLUM EVA
61 off 29 balls | 4 fours | 4 sixes
Quite simply, this one was never really in doubt! An unbelievable innings and a performance that deserves to be remembered.
π YOUNG PLAYER OF THE YEAR - RISHI SANKARARAMAN
15 innings | 382 runs | 32 wickets
And finally...
π CRICKETER OF THE YEAR - RISHI SANKARARAMAN
The votes were counted and, perhaps fittingly, our Young Player of the Year and Cricketer of the Year turned out to be the same person!
Rishi has had an incredible season in Springfield senior cricket, making a huge impact with both bat and ball. A brilliant achievement and thoroughly deserved. π

There have been highs, lows, wins, losses, brilliant performances and plenty of memories along the way.
Thatβs what makes Springfield Cricket Club what it is.
Hereβs to everyone who played their part in another season at Springfield - and to an even bigger and better one next year! ππ
