Bath Cricket Club recently held its Annual Awards Night, celebrating the achievements of its junior and senior players, and recognising those that dedicate their time to supporting the club. The event was a great success, recognising those who have shown exceptional skill and dedication throughout the season.
The evening kicked off with the Junior Awards, which spanned seven age group teams from Under 10s – U15s, encompassing over 100 youth team players. In addition to the Most Improved Player of the Year in each age group, the club also recognised the Best Players of the Year.
Highlights of the evening from the Senior Awards included Tim Rouse receiving the 1st XI Player of the Year award and Beth Aspeling receiving a special recognition for over 400 appearances for the club. Andrew Linnett, a long serving member that after playing for the club has undertaken various voluntary roles for over two decades including Trustee, was awarded the Ossie Tasker Cup for his longstanding commitment to Bath CC. Tim Rouse was also specially recognised for his significant contributions to the club, including five league titles and one national cup during his 154 West of England Premier League appearances.
Scott Sandford, Chairman at Bath Cricket Club, said: “We are incredibly proud of the achievements of both our junior and senior players this season.
