contributions from Darren Cartwright, Phil Higginson and Chris Rowland despite injuries.

This was made possible by an excellent bowling spell by Paul Fearon 4-12 and Phil Higginson 3-8 just when it looked like Friary were cruising to victory. Paul's contribution was voted as the Performance of the Year. |
| Fielder of the Year. (Chosen by the committee) |
| Some good fielding this year but inconsistent catching
was costly in more than one game. No one took 3 catches in a match but there were several
matches where 2 catches were taken. Greaves picked up 2 catches twice, first at home to
Norton and then away at Bugbrooke. Most recently Fellows took 2 good gully catches against
Norton on his comeback and Rowland took 2 in the same match, there was 2 for Hussein in
the match against Friary and finally 2 for Hoddy against Barton. Pete Gardner took 2
stumpings and a catch against Cannock Wood and 2 stumpings against Swynnerton Overall Keith Greaves took 8 catches, Dave Forster took 7 catches, Akin Hussein took 6 catches and Pete Gardner was awarded the fielder of the year award with 6 catches and 7 stumpings. |
| Gonad of the year. |
| Darren Cartwright won the Gonad of the Year. There was a dearth of gonads this year with 11 players picking up one duck and only Darren and Akin achieving two. Darren won, despite missing a good chunk of the season with injury, due to his lower run total. Full Details |
| Fantasy Cricket. |
| Pete Willis won again this year, for his third victory in 5 years. It was a close run thing with Ross always close in contention and with Pete only securing victory on the final day of the season. Special mention to Darren who finished third with his original team. Full Details |
