Frome Cricket Club has been awarded the Club of the Year Award by the Monmouth Scientific League at the 2022 Annual Presentation Awards Dinner.
Richard Potter, 2nd XI captain and vice-chair of the club, attended the Annual Awards Dinner at Cooper Associates County Ground in Taunton alongside players from the 2nd XI and they were absolutely delighted to be announced winners of the Ladbroke Merit Trophy. This prestigious award, for Club of the Year, was given to Frome in recognition of the strong season for both the 2nd XI and 3rd XI, the development and support of junior players moving into senior cricket and the acknowledgement of the club’s high fair play scores throughout the year.
Richard said, “This award is for all the players who, every week, give their all for the club, whilst playing the game in the right spirit. To be acknowledged by our peers as being a great club to play against makes us immensely proud”.
“The club are thrilled that their efforts to develop a strong junior set-up and that their focus on playing the game in the right spirit has been recognised right across the county.”
Richard, on behalf of the 2nd XI was presented with the Cup for the Division 1 title, thanks to a thrilling final day victory at Taunton back in September. Tom Abell, Somerset County Cricket club captain, presented the award.
Nick Larder, chair of the club, said “We are an open and accessible cricket club within the heart of Frome, if you are looking for a change of club, looking to get back into cricket or indeed have moved into the area, what better club to join than the Somerset Cricket League Club of the Year!
