Bushy Park celebrates cricket season

Trophy winner Shaun Grant.

AT the Bushy Park Cricket Club dinner and trophy night held at the Star and Garter Hotel recently, it was Mitchell Crosswell who took home a swag of trophies including the biggest award - the best and fairest.

Last summer was a fantastic season for the dominating all-rounder and he collected six trophies at the presentation nights along with others from the Southern Cricket Association. Some of Crosswell's highlights included scoring 122 runs in Round 2; 8 for 23 in Round 4; 6 for 24 in Round 5; and another century in the semi-final.

Club captain Troy Smith also did well, taking home three trophies while youngsters Dylan Grant and Blake Howlett did very well. The club's officials, members, players and their partners enjoyed a great night. The club thanked its trophy donors and sponsors, the Star & Garter Hotel, Roberts Don Mac, Gretna Green Hotel and the New Norfolk Hotel.

Bushy Park had a very good 2014/15 season in which they finished third, going down to eventual premiers DOSA in the preliminary final. This should put the club in good stead for the coming season with a good list of talented players.
