A Presentation Event

This has become an Annual Event for Shipley when the lads and lassies who distinguished  themselves during the season receive their medals and awards. An extra dimension was added this year with the presentation of medals to the ladies who played in the Summer Soft Ball Festivals

James C and Simon did the talking and James was fulsome in his praise of the efforts made by all

He signalled out Simon ( here here!) and Timo who had worked hard with the youngsters

                                            

Yes Timo is the big kid with the football and his coaching methods obviously worked for all the junior teams had good results although perhaps Joe got on the wrong side of him

The boys ,girls and ladies received their medals with varying degrees of skill. Here is Arthur 

who won the Under 13 award. Brother  Joe looked really pleased for him but realised he was getting older and wiser and no longer  qualified  for an award. Never mind Joe , Arthur's not in the 1st XI and hasn't got a batting average below ONE. 

Jack managed to drop his award much to the disgust of his Dad who will shortly need a bigger Trophy cabinet as both the lads received awards

The Junior Player of the Year award went to Harriet Parkin who not only played above her age group with Derbyshire Girls age group teams but also played senior cricket.

The spectators were as enthusiastic as ever and the support they provide is much welcomed. Carole and David were paying attention but needed a cup of tea to fend off the cool weather

Another season done and dusted !!
