🏏 End-of-Season Award Races 🏏

With the 1st XI and 2nd XI games being abandoned this weekend due to the weather, here is a look at the top performers for each team as we head into the final few games of the 2026 season. The race for our senior batting and bowling awards is heating up!

Awards are decided by the best batting/bowling average, provided the player has reached at least 75% of the leading run-scorer or wicket-taker’s total.

For the 1st XI batting award, Ryan Lockley leads the way with 751 runs at 50.07, with Henry Preece close behind on 564 runs at 43.38.

The 1st XI bowling award is also finely poised, with Ben Cox on 37 wickets at 17.92 and Harry Bolland on 33 wickets at 14.39.

In the 2nd XI, Adam Vanner currently leads the batting with 259 runs at 28.78, while Charlie Wigley has 176 runs at 35.20. The bowling award is even more open, with as many as five players still in contention!

For the 3rd XI, Sam Smout is the clear frontrunner for the batting award with 352 runs at 27.02, although there is still time for someone to make a late charge.
The 3rd XI bowling award is wide open, with seven players still capable of finishing top of the pile.

Plenty still to play for across all three teams. Good luck to everyone for the remainder of the season! 🏏🏆

It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of John O’Keeffe. A legendary figure at Bomere Heath Cricket Club, John was a skilled left-arm seamer who spearheaded the bowling attack from the mid-1980s into the early 2000s. Known for his competitive spirit on the pitch and his warm, generous nature off it, he leaves behind many cherished memories. A service to celebrate John’s life will be held at Coundon Crematorium, Durham, on Friday, 4th September at 1:30 pm. He will be deeply missed by all at Bomere Heath Cricket Club 💛💙.
