Junior Awards 2026
Congratulations to our junior players on another successful season
Last week we marked the end of the junior season with a get-together to celebrate their performances and progress through 2026. From U7 All Stars through to our U15s, we once again had more than 110 boys and girls learning the game, developing their skills and making friends along the way. This year we also saw a record number of young players in our senior league teams, and acquitting themselves brilliantly.
Thanks to David Sutton for the countless hours behind the scenes and on the field, keeping the junior programme on track. As well as the team managers, coaches and parent volunteers. And of course a big thank you to TWC Financial, who extended their sponsorship at Kings Hill Cricket Club to include the juniors this year. Brilliant ongoing support for the club.
As always, the coaches get together to recognise standout players and performers for the season. This year's award winners are below. Congratulations to them, and to all the young players who made this another successful season.
