The Wrap Party
It’s a time-honoured ritual within the Cricket Club that transgressions of a minor nature throughout the season get logged away in Tim Gilbert’s little red book, only to re-emerge in the public court of opinion one autumnal evening. Some may have made a rather regrettable assumption that half a sports hall represents a division on the longitudinal rather latitudinal; others may have tripped up over the simple task of adjudicating correctly on run-outs. Mostly the time is spent listing Jimmy Gray’s weekly contrivances to fall foul of the cricketing gods.
Technology moves on a-pace, and so we were also treated to a truly global gathering as Tim, defying a sensible division of what is acceptable on a honeymoon, joined to doff his cap to peers from Mexico.
The true nature of the event, however, is to record in the history books the winners of the coveted prizes for the season. Walsham can, therefore, join in congratulating the roll of honour below:
| U13’s Player of the Year | Mr. Jack Campbell |
| U13’s Batsman of the Year | Mr. Tobias MacRae |
| U13’s Bowler of the Year | Mr. Monty Bailey |
| U13’s Most Improved Player of the Year | Ms. Harriet French |
| U11’s Player of the Year | Mr. Kasper Howling |
| U11’s Batsman of the Year | Mr. Albie Bryant-Howe |
| U11’s Bowler of the Year | Ms. Elodie Brown |
| U11’s Most Improved player of the Year | Mr. Matthew Moynehan |
| 1st Team Player of the Year | Mr. Steve Moulton |
| 2nd Team Player of the Year | Mr. Luke Ridding |
| Sunday XI Player of the Year | Mr. Tom Ridding |
Chairman Rick was also able to rightfully correct the missed recognition of Mr Peter Knight – our venerable seam-up stalwart of many years – for two 5-fers some 10 years back. The same was achieved by Waugh, Bryant and Howe this season.
Mr Ashley Forbes clubbed his way to 34 sixes in the season and also scored hundreds with Messrs. Ross, Scarce, Smithers, Ridding and Jackson. ChatGPT will have some work summarising this next season.
