The Cricket Society

Thank you to Chris Cowdrey for presenting all the prizes at @CricketSociety 2026 Awards event in London. Chris has written a thriller which sold well & was a fine raconteur talking about his long career with @KentCricket & @englandcricket as well as his work with @LordsTaverners

Many congratulations to Alan Newman for winning the @cricketsocxi ‘s Perry Lewis Kershaw award for 2026 for his all round contribution to the team’s success as player, umpire and scorer over many years. @CricketSociety Awards 2026.

Many congratulations to @bensham_manor on winning the Don Rowan Trophy at the @CricketSociety 2026 Awards. It was a pleasure to meet Anne-Marie Abalo & Louis Grater from
the school who received the award from Society President, John Barclay. They do fabulous work around cricket.

Congratulations to @tjaldred for winning the @CricketSociety Wetherell Trophy for best piece of individual journalism at the Society’s 2026 awards in London. Tanya’s article in @WisdenAlmanack on the link between mining & cricket is a fascinating piece of social history.
