DRAKES League officials are keen to reveal their 2010 prizewinners after their October meeting – but some clubs are dragging their feet submitting averages.
Results secretary Yvonne Collins needs averages from teams in the Drakes Premiership, Frank Platt Championship and Cedar Court Conference as quickly as possible.
The League Executive can then determine the winners of the Reg Haigh Trophy – awarded to the most promising young cricketer – and the Jack Gledhill Trophy, for the leading all-rounder, as well as the Johnny Hunter awards which are for a First and Second XI cricketer who has produced an outstanding match-winning performance during the season.
