The South Burnett Cricket Association looked back on a very successful year at their end-of-season awards held on Saturday morning in Wondai.<\/p>\n

The presentation of trophies was held just prior to the start of the Senior Grand Final, between Murgon Diggers and the Tingoora Vikings, played at Wondai Sportsground.<\/p>\n

SBCA president Dan O’Connor said this season had been the first time South Burnett’s junior players had been a part of the Wide Bay Intercity Challenge, with teams in U12s, U14s and U16s facing teams from Bundaberg, Gympie and the Fraser Coast.<\/p>\n

He said it had been a big effort by the young players as well as their families who had supported them during the six games.<\/p>\n

“Player of the Year” and “Players’ Player” trophies were presented to cricketers in these three junior grades.<\/p>\n

Dan said the U16s had been the most successful of the junior rep sides, making it through to the Grand Final against Bundaberg.<\/strong><\/p>\n

He also praised the U14s for almost defeating Bundaberg at home, which would have been “a cracking” win.<\/p>\n

South Burnett U14s coach Adam Kratzmann said there was some “very serious talent” coming through the junior teams.<\/p>\n

Wondai Wolves’ Torren Anderton was named the South Burnett Player of the Year and the Wooroolin Warriors were presented with the “Spirit of the Game” shield.<\/p>\n

The Umpire’s Player of the Year, Nathan Roderick, and Goodchild Shield Player of the Year and Players’ Player Michael Wostear were not available as they were playing in the Gympie A Grade Two-Day Grand Final in Gympie.<\/p>\n
