CULLINGWORTH took three of the four awards on offer for Terry Wynne Second Division teams in the Spenser Wilson Halifax League.

The Roydwood Terrace club, who were runners-up behind the now defunct Denholme Clough, picked up the batting, bowling and wicketkeeping awards at the league's prize presentation and dinner at The Venue in Barkisland.

Ben Birkhill (855 runs at an average of 71.25 and 40 wickets at an average of 12.98) took both the batting and bowling honours after an outstanding campaign, while the wicketkeeping prize was courtesy of Adie Powis (23 dismissals, including five stumpings).

Great Horton Park Chapel lifted the batting and bowling prizes for the Roy Smith First Division.

Amaar Sayed topped the batting with 516 runs at an average of 64.50, while Matthew Jordan won the bowling with 42 wickets at a miserly 9.50.

Queensbury's Gurdev Singh took 71 wickets to pick up the Ronnie Wolfenden bowling trophy, while clubmate Jason Slator led the way in the Roy Smith First Division second teams' batting with 793 runs at an average of 56.64.

Denholme Clough won both the Sunday League Third Division and the Terry Wynne Second Division, while Queensbury topped the Roy Smith First Division.

Queensbury, Denholme Clough and Cullingworth lifted the Fraine Kenworthy, Clay and Lindley Moor trophies for most points gained in the last six matches of the season for third, second and first teams respectively.

Low Moor Holy Trinity's Alan Ford won the special award for services to the executive committee for his work as assistant secretary, while other main awards went to Illingworth St Mary's (University of Huddersfield History & Heritage), Bradshaw's Michael Turner (Umpires' Association Sportsman of the Year) and Copley (Roy Smith Club Sportsmanship of the Year).

The evening's main award, however, was the Simon Lees Memorial Trophy, which went to Stephen Williams of Blackley.

Williams, involved in his club for 52 years since joining as a junior aged ten, has volunteered incalculable hours either playing, coaching, attending meetings, serving behind the bar or working on the ground or club facilities.

First-team captain for two seasons in the 1980s, he amassed over 15,000 runs for Blackley before retiring in 2014 but he has also been a junior team manager and coach from 1971-2015 and junior co-ordinator from 2005 to the present day.

Williams has been a committee member since 1970, held the office of club secretary from 1976 to 1981 and has been the club's league representative since 1993.

He was also instrumental in Blackley being the first club in Calderdale to achieve Clubmark accreditation from the ECB in 2005.

The dinner was attended by just under 250 people, including Yorkshire County Cricket Club chief executive Mark Arthur, Yorkshire players Alex Lees (whose dad Simon gave his name to the memorial trophy) and Andrew Hodd, MC Pete Emmett, who interviewed the Yorkshire trio on stage, and comedian Austin Knight.

A montage of photographs with two signed bats from the last Ashes series raised £650.
