Nomad of the Year. (Voted by the members) |
There were good
batting performances from the usual suspects of Gardner (607 runs @ 37.9) and Pinfield
(307 runs @ 19.2). Caygill played more consistently and benefitted from
extra time at the crease with 267 runs @ 29.67 including a personal best 85*
and Moss scored 204 runs in just 7 innings, including a 60 at an average of
over 40. The winner was John Hoddy |
Performance of the Year. (Chosen by the committee) |
The two standout individual performances were Rich Caygill's 85 not out and John Hoddy's 7 for 4. But there were several worthy partnership's to note including Dave Forster and Sos Hughes' unbeaten 93 at Bugbrooke. Best Batting
Best Partnerships
Best Bowling |
Fielder of the Year. (Chosen by the committee) |
Graeme Blackburn
won the Fielder
of the Year. Some good candidates this year. Gardner (13 catches and 5 stumpings) and Osborn (3 catches and 4 stumpings) both kept well. Moss as ever was lively in the field. Caygill benefited from playing more games and was always alert. Hussein and Pinfield both took 6 catches. The biggest improvement was probably by the Blackburns. Pete took 5 catches and Graeme took 2 catches at Sutton on the Hill. Graeme's overall fielding and throwing has improved tremendously this season and he was rewarded with the Fielder of the year trophy. |
Gonad of the year. |

of the Year. Pete and Graeme Blackburn both bagged 3 ducks but Snapper wins on the fewer runs scored rule. 2005 Gonads - Full Details |

Revesby - 27/8/05
(Club Record) |
Career Milestones. |
P. Fearon 300 wickets, M. Heslington 5,000 runs, D. Forster 100
wickets, 1,000 runs. John Hoddy is now 10 runs short of 1,000 runs. |
Game of the Season. |
Hard to call this one. There were battling draws away at Harborne and Sutton on the Hill. There were big wins against Beau and Woore (where the beer match returned!). But the season will probably be best remembered for the two hard fought victories on the Lincolnshire tour against Revesby and Friskney. |
