NIXON TROPHY for Best Fourth Grade player:

Liam Cotter – Roncalli – Liam began the season as a Year 9 and is co-captain of the team.  Liam has a batting average of 21.6 this season (to date) and had an impressive 66* against Methven in the first half of the season.  To us as coaches Liam has a huge presence fielding.  His agility and speed in the field has saved us easily 20 runs a game, no matter whether he is fielding at point, slip or mid-on.  Liam’s arm has been at the end of a couple of impressive runouts this season.  Liam has averaged a catch a game in some games more.  The thing with these catches is that to the average player they are not even possible catches, but Liam manages to get the elevation with half his catches being taken one handed.

Liam shows tremendous sportsmanship at a young age and is always the first to check the opposition is okay if an injury occurs. His enthusiasm in the field has ignited the team as a whole and encouraged them to all step up their game, contributing to us being one of the better fielding teams in the competition.  Liam was also part of the Under 15 South Canterbury team this season, rounding off a memorable season.

LJ GRANT TROPHY Young Player of the year:

Adam Beck – After the previous season off with a shoulder reconstruction, Adam returned with a vengeance, opening the batting for Celtic and the South Canterbury Hawke Cup team. He scored 372 club runs and over 180 rep runs, but worked hard at training on his own and with his teams and his fielding always poses a threat, and culminated his season by scoring a 50 on Hagley Oval in the National Club Champs playoffs while earlier in the season he also scored 73 against Chch Metro.

ROCKDALE KIA ORA TROPHY for Best Cricketer Under 21:

Glen Drake was back to his best also after an injury plagued 2014-15 season finishing the club competition as the 2^nd highest run scorer (491 runs including 100no in a T20 match.) while captaining his Waimate team. He also had a large bowling load finishing n2nd on the club table as well with 38 wickets at average of 21 over all formats and took 7 catches as well. On the rep front he debuted as captain of the Hawke Cup side against Otago Country and did the same job in some warmup matches. He also captained the Emerging Players XI that played Canterbury Country. He had some good rep innings with two fifties in the match against North Otago, and at such a young age has it all in front of him.

REX BOWDEN CUP for Best Cricketer Under 23:

Stanley Mair, a new arrival in the district soon made his presence felt as a valuable acquisition for the Pleasant Point Club as a fast opening bowler, and as the season progressed with the bat too. Being a late arrival he still managed to take 16 club wickets and score 236 runs with the bat with a high score of 60, but it was for SC he really made his presence felt taking 16 Hawke Cup wickets from 3 matches with a best of 8-74 against Southland on a road in Invercargill to give SC the first innings win. He was also handy for the rep side as a bat, and at only 22 we look forward to even more from Stanley in the seasons ahead.

He helped with younger players (including his son Alex) and still travelled to Oamaru for a match he wasn’t playing into help the coach and players.

 SCCUA GRAEME LOWRIE SPIRIT OF CRICKET AWARD for the senior cricketer who epitomizes the way the game should be played: Decided by Umpires

Phil Lill – During a game between Waimate v Temuka on 23/01/16 (95 over format). Phil Lill was trying to hold on to his position in the rep side to play Hawke Cup against Southland. Phil came to the crease with Temuka at 38 for 7. He faced 2 balls from Glen Drake bowling left arm round and got a ball on a good length. There was a huge appeal for a caught behind. Phil immediately walked. Approached by both umpires after the game finished who asked why he walked as both umpires didn’t hear a noise.

Phil Lill said, “I felt the ball touch my glove ever so slightly. I knew I had, so I walked”.

SOUTH CANTERBURY SUPPORTERS CLUB TROPHY –

Brent Isbister – Brent has been a stalwart in the Pleasant Point Club and instrumental in helping them grow as a club to where they are today with a strong JAB section. He was also the Canterbury Cricket Nominee to the NZ Cricket Awards for “Volunteer of the Year” and makes things happen by giving him a call. He has helped grow cricket in the wider community liaising with SC Cricket and players in Fairlie and Twizel to establish a competition team under the Pleasant Point banner from that area who are now playing each Saturday. He doesn’t rest there either, actively involved in helping TBHS as we look to create more teams at 4^th grade and grow a proper pathway for our young cricketers.

ALLAN EDGINTON TROPHY for Sports Personality of the year:

Kevin Teahen – Kevin has been a stalwart of the Temuka Club for 18 seasons, but not just content to be on the field he has been President for the last decade, the groundsman at Temuka Oval for almost as long, and in his ‘quieter’ times has been senior captain, chief organizer of players, a selector for the South Canterbury Hawke Cup side, for the last 2 years has also been the Player Rep on the Board. On the field he has taken over 400 club wickets, has a senior century, and numerous SC wickets. While certainly not the most demonstrative person, you would be hard pushed to find anyone with anything other than great respect for Kevin, both on and off the field across our whole cricket community. Kevin is a richly deserving recipient of the “Sports Personality of the Year” award.

GRAEME BLANCHARD MEMORIAL TROPHY:

For a youth cricketer who displays an excellent attitude on and off the field for fair play, a team player who inspires the spirit of cricket and has good work ethics.
