Cleckheaton opener Tim Jackson has been voted the JCT600 Bradford League Players’ Player of the Year.

The left hander, who scored 1,018 runs as his team won the Division One title for the first time, was announced as the winner at last night’s awards ceremony at the Cedar Court Hotel.

Keighley's Keith Robinson won the prestigious Sir Len Hutton Trophy for Outstanding Service. The 78-year-old, who has been involved with the league since the early 1950s, has been a devoted servant of the game as a player, umpire and official, and has always shown a huge commitment to junior cricket.

Helen Burton, wife of Spen Victoria’s opening bowler Rob, was named the JCT600 Unsung Hero.

The paramedic won the award for her actions in saving the life of spectator Peter West when he collapsed and his heart stopped beating when he was watching the match between Windhill and Spen Victoria in June.

Long-serving league official Bob Shackleton was given a special award in recognition of his 31 years of outstanding service.

He was appointed secretary in 1982 and became chief executive in 2005, a post he held until becoming administration executive last year.

Bradford & Bingley’s promising fast bowler Jack Hartley, son of former Yorkshire all-rounder Neil, was named as the Gordon Bowers Young Cricketer of the Year.

The 19-year-old took 47 wickets in his first full Division One season.

Another talented young player, 15-year-old Daan-yaal Ahmed, collected the Ernest Lodge Young Spin bowler award after helping Light-cliffe to win the Sovereign Health Care Priestley Cup in his debut campaign.

A tally of 564 runs and 40 wickets saw Morley’s Kashif Naveed pick up the Sir Learie Constan-tine Division One All Rounder Trophy and Farsley’s Mark Harrison took the Jack Hill All Rounders Award in Division Two for his 803 runs and 43 wickets.

Hartshead Moor’s outstanding work in hosting the Sovereign Health Care Priestley Shield final was acknowledged with the award of the Tom Matthers Trophy and Hanging Heaton won the Albert Smith Spirit of Cricket Award.
