That brings an end to what has been a good season for One-Day Cs, who should be proud of their efforts.

The final event of the season was the MVP night game.

The captains of each grade filled out voting sheets for best and fairest and fielding awards throughout the season that were then counted on the night.

The F grade MVP was Adam Loy, who scored 110 runs and took 10 wickets this season.

The fielding award went to Calum Earnshaw.

There was a tie between Peter Geere and Adam Humphrey for C grade MVP with the fielding award also going to Adam Humphrey.

Dion Cole-Parkhill took home 4th Grade MVP after taking 22 wickets and scoring 127 runs for the season. Adrian Woollons won the fielding award.

It was a tight race in the 2nd grade MVP voting with Rocky Sharma (92 runs and 27 wickets) just edging out Devon Fry (69 runs and 30 wickets). Josh Atkinson won the fielding award.

The Kwinana Cricket Club congratulates all winners and would like to thank everyone who represented the club this season, especially the club captains Dan Bell, Ryan Gray, Richard Bell and David Langlands.

A special thank you goes to Joshua Atkinson and the committee for organising the club’s social events as well as Kylie Cole and Sue Huaser, and everybody who helped them work tirelessly behind the scenes.

Kwinana will be back bigger and stronger next season.
