Paying tribute to the winners, Mike Gatting said: “Volunteers play a vital role in ensuring that our grass-roots game can continue to flourish and these awards are a fantastic way of recognising their contribution.

“It’s thanks to their tireless work and self sacrifice that pitches get prepared, pavilions maintained and cricket teas made. Congratulations to all the winners – you are the unsung heroes of our game and your awards are richly deserved.”

Now in its ninth year, the NatWest OSCAs forms part of the ECB’s Volunteering programme which gives cricket clubs advice on recruiting, educating and rewarding volunteers in all areas of the recreational game.
