Cricket Collective Awards 2025
The Lancashire and Cheshire Cricket Collective Awards 2025
The Cheshire and Lancashire Cricket Collective Awards 2025 took place on Tuesday 26th August at Emirates Old Trafford. This year’s event brought together over 250 volunteers from across both counties to celebrate the fantastic work they do for the recreational game. Guests experienced hospitality in The Point during a Metro Bank One Day cup fixture between Lancashire and Middlesex and were presented with their award on the outfield during the interval by Leshia Hawkins (ECB) and former Cheshire Youth cricketer and Lancashire 1st XI player Charlie Barnard.
Amongst the award winners and runners up from Cheshire were representatives and administrators from league, club and community networks including coaches, activators, umpires, scorers and those supporting our disability pathway, all of which play an invaluable role in grass roots cricket.
