Farsley picked up four awards during last night’s JCT600 Bradford League annual dinner at the Cedar Court Hotel – and Lorenzo Ingram collected three of them.

In addition to topping the batting averages, Ingram won the Sir Learie Constantine Division One all-rounders’ trophy and was named JCT600 Players’ Player of the Year after scoring 1,140 runs and taking 50 wickets.

His 20-year-old team-mate Joe Greaves was named as the Gordon Bowers Young Cricketer of the Year after a season in which he hit five centuries while making 1,019 runs.

A long-serving official to win a top accolade was Richard Peel of Bankfoot. His outstanding service and dedicated work on behalf of his club won him the JCT600 Unsung Hero Award.

Keighley’s Richard Robinson received a JCT600 Special Award in recognition of being the first player to pass 16,000 career runs in the league.

Brighouse may have been forced to apply for re-election but they had the consolation of winning the Albert Smith Spirit of Cricket Award, which is based on marks from umpires.

Great Horton’s overseas player Suleman Khan won the Jack Hill Division Two All-Rounder of the Year award after scoring 1,208 runs and taking 62 wickets.

The Ernest Lodge Young Spinner of the Year Award was presented to Yeadon left-armer Ben Elvidge, who took 36 wickets in his first Bradford League season.

The evening’s main award, the Sir Leonard Hutton Trophy, went to Hanging Heaton’s long-serving club secretary Nat Lawrence.

Lawrence, the 51st recipient of the trophy, has served Hanging Heaton as a player, scorer and official for more than 60 years but it is his services to the Bradford League since his club entered the competition in 1980 that earned him the prize.

He doubles up as the junior secretary and spends time coaching and ensuring the young players have transport to matches.

Lawrence has coached hundreds of youngsters over the years, many of whom have gone on to play at a high level.

He gives up many hours of his time to carry out work on behalf of the club, while he is also on the Heavy Woollen Cup and Black Sheep Yorkshire Champions’ Trophy committees, where he has been a staunch supporter of the involvement of JCT600 Bradford League clubs.

During the summer, Lawrence spends every day at the club – attending matches or working behind the scenes – while a typical match-day can see him spending more than 12 hours ensuring everything runs smoothly.

Lawrence was shocked to win the award, admitting: “This is completely out of the blue.”

Like most club stalwarts, he is a typically modest and understated person. Lawrence is proud of his association with Hanging Heaton and is looking forward to carrying on this long relationship. He said: “I shall continue as it’s what I do.”
