There were some cracking performances with the ball this year and some great season long campaigns. Once again Fordy took wickets for fun - 30odd at less than 11 would be a phenomenal result most seasons if only Forday hadn't taken more like 50 a season or so back. Zam missed a few games this year and his figures don't look as good as they might but 8-34 was the season's best return at the Wick in any format.
Playing the most cricket this year certainly helped Jimmy C. Jimmy's use of the gym floor to generate pace in the winter had some of us hopping and hoping he could learn to pitch the thing up. Not only did he do that he bowled with real control and delivered some opposition shattering performances for the thirds.
But the bowling prize went to the most feared bowler in Fullers League Division One - the big man Joe Ewen. Certainly the quickest and most life threatening bowler in the club by some margin, Joey added accuracy to his armoury this year. For a quicky to go for so few runs per wicket - less than 12 - is a testament to fire and control. Truly inspirational stuff. Well done Joe and congratulations on an excellent season.
Sadly OD must have ODed on something because he missed the big man picking up the bowling trophy from Ian Geddes. Here's Nips handing out his team of the year certificate.
