We’re pleased to announce the winner of the inaugural Brian Kitson Lifetime Achievement Award on behalf of the SCCL for 2023.
We have received a number of nominations from clubs around Shropshire and beyond, all highlighting just some of the work that so many volunteers do on behalf of their cricket clubs and beyond into the local community.
It was a really tough decision with so many deserved nominees, but the eventual winner was Richard Jones from Alberbury CC.
Richard was nominated by the club for his unwavering support and dedication at the club over the last 5 decades. Having played in the club’s senior sides, he has also been a key driver in the club’s junior development, setting up their Women & Girl’s section, Welfare Officer & Grant Co-ordinator, Umpire, Scorer, helping with the groundwork and more!
The SCCL committee has agreed with Alberbury CC’s belief that “Richard Jones embodies the spirit of the Brian Kitson Lifetime Achievement award with his steadfast commitment, selflessness, and dedication to Alberbury CC. His enduring legacy within our club is a testament to his extraordinary passion for the sport and its growth within our community”.
We would like to re-iterate our thanks for the other nominations which really has highlighted the dedication of so many people in making sure we have so many fantastic club’s able to play in the SCCL every year.
Once again, many congratulations to Richard, who will receive his award at the League AGM held at Harlescott Social Club on Tuesday 28/11/23.
