The Mounties skipper had the most prolific season with the willow, topping the competition batting average (73) and aggregate (551 runs) in BCA individual honours.

Grand finalist Napoleons-Sebastopol was the best overall performer with the ball and in the field.

Strike bowler Matt Ringin had the best bowling average (9.55) in the firsts and best wicket haul (7-43 off 17.4 overs) while captain Carman Mapatuna made the most catches (13) in the firsts.

Naps-Sebas wicketkeeper Jacob Eyers had the most keeper dismissals (23), an honour he shared with fellow grand finalist Chris Banwell (Brown Hill).

All-round team Ballan made an impact in BCA district division one with bat and ball, in particular the experienced Mick Nolan, who made the competition’s highest score (146 runs) and equalled the most wicketkeeper dismissals (14), also with a fellow grand finalist, Lucas’ Jake Pring.

Interestingly, neither EJ Cleary medallist Liam Rigby nor Bernie Davey medallist Noel Heafield featured in the individual statistical honours.
