2006 Award Winners

Receiving their awards from Middlesex captain Ed Smith are:

	Bradley Erasmus won the David Newton Memorial Trophy. In 2006, Bradley played for Middlesex Under 10s when he was just eight years old. He made hundreds against Berkshire and Sussex (having made his first century when he was just seven), and scored 80+ against Surrey, Hampshire and Norfolk. This was even more remarkable because most of his runs were made in the scorching heat we had in 2006
	Kyle Bacchus-Brown won the Gerry Lillie award for his bowling in the Under 16 squad. He consistently took wickets with the new ball: his fifteen victims in the South of England championship were all top order batsmen and he was a major contributor to the success of the Under 16s, He took seven wickets in match against Essex and also took wickets on flat pitches against Surrey and the return Essex match. Kyle also stood in as captain on several occasions and set a tremendous example in the field.
	William Jones won the Rynhold family trophy. A wicket keeper, William is also a member of the Under 16 team. He played in all eleven games and was a model of consistency. He displayed considerable talent on turning wickets in Jersey; the two successful spinners owed a number of their wicket to him William also had the responsibility of opening the batting and made 353 runs, including a century against Essex and had several excellent opening stands with Jivan Lotay.
	Adam Rossington won the John Piddington all rounder award. Adam is the Under 13 squad as captain, wicket keeper and batsman. As a batsman, his 743 runs at an average of 92 saw him break a record set by Mark Ramprakash. This included a century against Oxfordshire and an 81 against Warwickshire which led the side to a thrilling one wicket win. Adam finished the season with a century at the regional festival, earning him one of the outstanding performance awards.
	Gurjit Sandhu won the Richard Davis fair play award. Gurjit displayed many of the qualities that Richard was renowned for. After several unsuccessful attempts, a great deal of hard work and effort saw him gain selection for the Under 14s squad for the first time and proceeded to become one of the major players in the team. He bowling got better with every game and his eleven wickets came at a very impressive strike rate. His behaviour, sportsmanship, work rate and performances under pressure were exemplary.
