The weather gods were not smiling on Home Hill Cricket this week, with the grand final game between Peto Marine and the Rookies, and the playoff for third between Alliance Pharmacy and the Crowned Mongrels being washed out.
Despite the rain, presentations and a small celebration of the 2024/25 cricket season were held on Sunday afternoon. Winners from the season were:
Minor premiers - Peto Marine
Most runs - Lee Watts (210 runs for the season)
Batting average - Lee Watts (average 70 runs)
Highest individual score - Alex Stillhard (116 runs)
Most wickets - Dan Olditch (9 wickets)
Bowling average - Ayden Marano (taking 4 wickets at an average of 5 runs per wicket)
Fielding - JD Wilkins (10 catches)
An overall champion was also crowned, with the Senior Player of the Season being awarded to Dan Olditch from the Rookies for strong performances across all aspects of the game.
Home Hill Cricket Association would like to thank all the senior players who made the effort to take the field this season. While the regular Saturday games might be over, cricket will be back soon with the Canefield Ashes scheduled for April 26 and 27.
