BKSH honours Holland with life membership
Brim-Kellalac-Sheep Hills Cricket Club held its presentation day on Sunday March 1 at Brim Sports Centre.
Despite wet conditions, about 40 players and supporters attended to celebrate the season.
Proceedings began with the B grade awards, which were largely shared between two club veterans.
Barry Schilling enjoyed a standout season, claiming the batting average and the Ian Wright Medal for best player as voted by opposition captains.
Mark McPherson took out the bowling average and was also named the B grade points award winner.
Sean Wright was recognised with the fielding award.
In A grade, Lachie McGinniss dominated the awards after a tremendous season.
He claimed the bowling average and the Brian ‘Redda’ Neuman Award for best player as voted by the umpires and capped off the day by being named club champion.
Isaac McPherson was awarded the batting average, while Sandon Schultz received the fielding award.
The highlight of the afternoon was the presentation of life membership to Dave Holland, awarded by Barry Schilling.
Dave has been an integral part of the club for many years and has met the high standard required to receive the honour.
Throughout his time at the club, Dave has served as president, secretary and treasurer, among several other roles.
Beyond the club level, he has also contributed significantly at association level with the Wimmera Mallee Cricket Association and recently released a book documenting the history of the association.
The club would like to thank all players, volunteers, sponsors and supporters for their contribution throughout the season.
With strong participation across both grades and continued community support, Brim-Kellalac-Sheep Hills Cricket Club looks forward to building on this year’s efforts and returning even stronger next season.
