However, playing at this level relies on commitment as well as talent. If you feel you would like to be considered or if you feel you or your parents cannot make this commitment, please speak to your manager. Highest batting average min. 5 innings/Lowest bowling average min. 10 overs. Please note that a more accurate picture of performance can be gained the more overs bowled or the more innings batted. A low minimum has been chosen to involve as many players as possible in the statistics. Overall batting and bowling awards are made by managers in consultation with coaches and others. There are no definitive criteria. Club caps awarded to any established Academy player taking 5 wickets in one match (including 5 stumpings and/or catches by a wicket keeper), scoring a century, playing at County level or being a first choice selection for the senior SWCC teams or village teams with whom SWCC have a formal arrangement. From 2009 Club caps will be awarded to girls for taking 3 wicket/catches, scoring 50 in a match and for County or adult selection. Players’ Player may be awarded on the basis of Player of the Match nominations or a vote amongst other squad members. Academy records have been compiled since 2003. There may well be superior performances before that – just let us know. The Alfred Adams Batting Award. Alfred Adams scored 279 not out by batting all day against Bishop’s Stortford for SWCC on the Common on 11 July 1837. At the time it was the highest recorded individual score in the country. Fiona Harris was the first woman to play competitively for SWCC in 2002. She still plays for SWCC when she can. John Smith first played for SWCC in 1946 and retired in 1963 at the age of 35. He now lives in Chelmsford. He is the tallest of the team in many of the clubhouse photos of the 1950s and 60s. Academician of the Year is awarded to the academy player who has made the strongest commitment to his or her own development and to the work of the Academy and Club. It may be related to the “Clubman of the Year” award for each age group. Jack Petchey Awards are given for outstanding personal achievement. Winners receive a certificate, a medallion and £200 to be spent on the club. We currently do not issue individual medals or trophies, preferring to issue certificates. This maximises involvement and keeps costs low. However, sponsors for individual trophies shown on the previous page are always welcome.
