YORKSHIRE duo Jack Leaning and Jonny Bairstow were honoured for memorable summers by the Cricket Writers' Club in London.

Leaning capped a "dream" two seasons by picking up the CWC Young Player of the Year award, while England wicketkeeper-batsman Bairstow was named as the club's County Championship Player of the Year, in association with William Hill.

Leaning and Bradford-born Bairstow follow Alex Lees and Adam Lyth, who won last year's awards.

Leaning is the 12th Yorkshire player to win a Young Player award which dates back to 1950, including Fred Trueman, Geoff Boycott, Adil Rashid, Bairstow and Joe Root.

"It's a nice honour to receive," said the 21-year-old, who scored three Championship hundreds in 922 runs from 15 matches.

"If I can have half the career that some of the lads who have won it in the past have had, I'll be delighted.

"I was really happy with the first half of the summer and how I contributed to a winning team, especially in the Championship.

"I've been fairly happy with how my white-ball form has been right throughout the season. I would have liked one or two more big scores, but that's just how it goes sometimes.

"Playing for Yorkshire is something you dream of as a young lad, let alone winning the Championship twice in two years.

Bairstow, up for the Professional Cricketers Association Player of the Year award tonight, becomes the first player to win both CWC awards.

He scored 1,108 runs in nine Championship matches this year, averaging 92.33, and follows Nick Compton, Wayne Madsen and Lyth in winning the Championship award since its inception in 2012.

"Jonny's averaged nearly 100, and there are times when you just can't bowl to him. He'll put you anywhere he wants," said Leaning, who admitted Bairstow has been an inspiration to him given that they both grew up in York.

"He's such a fantastic player, and it's no surprise he's been recognised.

"I've watched him growing up and how he's done, and I want to try and emulate his performances on the pitch, but be my own player. I want to try and be better than him, I guess."
