Junior Club Champion
The Junior Club Champion has been won by some extremely talented players. Many of these have gone on to become very capable players at the Club and several have played District 1st or 2nd XI cricket. The award has been dominated by the Ferguson brothers, Clint and Justin, who between them were successful on eight occasions, a record which is unlikely to be matched.
