Wy Yung Cricket Club held its presentation night in late March, with a strong crowd in attendance to recognise the club’s award winners for the 2025/26 season.
Club champion for 2025/26 was hard-hitting opening batter Cameron McPhan, who produced an outstanding home-and-away campaign highlighted by two centuries.
His efforts secured the “A” grade batting aggregate with 538 runs at 59.78, while Daniel Gledhill claimed the batting average with 401 runs at 66.83. Darcy Murray dominated the bowling awards, finishing with 30 wickets at 11 to take both the bowling aggregate and average.
The “B” grade side fell just short of premiership success but still enjoyed a strong season, reaching the semi-finals.
Grade champion and batting award winner was David Wolfe, who compiled 470 runs at 78.33, while Guyann Hamilage took out the bowling award with 19 wickets at 6.79.
In “C” grade, the Tigers finished runners-up, with Alex Confait sweeping the major honours. He was named grade champion and also claimed both the batting (261 runs at 52.2) and bowling (nine wickets at 9.56) awards.
