Cricket East

The ECB has launched its Grassroots Cricket Awards for 2021 – and we are looking for entries in all categories from clubs across Cricket East.

The eight categories have been designed to recognise those unsung heroes who have made an outstanding contribution to cricket in Cricket East and beyond this year.

The eight categories are as follows:

Connecting Communities – A Club or community organisation which has gone above and beyond the call of cricket to support communities/groups coming back to the game we love.

Inspired to play – An Individual or group within your club or community organisation going above and beyond to open the game up to new audiences.

Rising Star Award – Young volunteer making a difference – 11 – 16-year-olds

Game changer – Young volunteer 17 – 25-year-olds making a difference in the game.

Unsung hero – Those heroes who impact our game and help us make cricket happen. This could be ground staff, coaches, officials, umpires, or other volunteers.

Growing the game – A league volunteer, committee member, or administrator going above and beyond to support clubs and help increase the number of games played.

Lifetime achiever – That one individual who has given many years of service to your club or community group you could not do without.
