Cricket Club Awards: End of Season Trophy Ideas
Cricket awards are a perfect excuse to look back on a summer of runs, wickets and long afternoons in the field. Cricket generates more statistics than almost any other sport, which makes it easy to recognise batting, bowling and fielding achievements fairly.
This guide covers the classic cricket club award categories, junior awards, how to choose trophies and how to time your order around the end of the season. Our cricket range has 62 trophy designs from £2 to £37.50, typically around £9.
Whether you run a single Saturday XI or a busy club with several senior sides and a large junior section, the aim is the same: an awards night that recognises the runs and wickets, but also the fielders, volunteers and youngsters who make the club what it is.
Senior cricket award categories
Most clubs present a set of awards for each XI, plus a few club-wide honours.
- Player of the Season (per XI)
- Batter of the Season: most runs or best average
- Bowler of the Season: most wickets or best average
- All-Rounder of the Season
- Fielder of the Season or Best Catch
- Wicketkeeper of the Season
- Highest Individual Score and Best Bowling Figures
- Young Player of the Season
- Clubman or Clubwoman of the Year
- Groundsman's or Volunteer Award
Junior cricket awards
Junior cricket awards should reward progress and enjoyment as much as statistics. A medal for every junior player, plus a few trophies per age group, keeps everyone involved.
- Every player: medal engraved with age group and season.
- Most Improved Batter and Most Improved Bowler.
- Coach's Award and Best Team Player.
- Best Fielder, which is a great award for younger players who rarely bat or bowl for long.
Milestone and fun awards
Cricket is full of memorable moments. Small trophies for milestones make great talking points at the dinner.
- First Fifty or First Century
- First Five-Wicket Haul (five-fer)
- Hat-Trick Award
- Golden Duck or Wooden Spoon for the season's most memorable mishap
- Best Tea of the Season
- Dropped Catch of the Season, for the one everyone still talks about
Choosing cricket trophies
Batting and bowling figure trophies are the classic choice for cricket awards, and our range runs from £2 to £37.50. For the club's top honours, consider a perpetual cup or shield that stays at the club, with a keepsake for each winner.
Size helps signal importance. Use the same design in different heights so Player of the Season stands out while the set still matches on the presentation table.
Think about who the awards are for, too. Senior players may prefer a smart cup or a classic figure on a solid base that sits well on a shelf, while juniors usually love a bright, eye-catching figure trophy. If your club runs a women's or girls' section, check that the figures you choose suit every team, or pick a design with a ball, bat or stumps instead of a player figure.

A worked example: awards for a two-XI club with juniors
Here is how a typical village or town cricket club might put together its end of season order. The club runs a 1st XI and a 2nd XI, plus three junior age groups of around 12 players each.
Each senior XI has five awards: Player of the Season, Batter, Bowler, Fielder and Most Improved. The club adds three club-wide honours: Young Player of the Season, Clubman of the Year and a Volunteer Award. Juniors each receive a medal, and each age group has three trophies.
- Senior awards: 2 XIs × 5 trophies = 10 trophies, typically around £9 each.
- Club-wide honours: 3 trophies or a cup for the headline award.
- Junior medals: around 36 medals, typically around £2 each.
- Junior trophies: 3 age groups × 3 trophies = 9 trophies.
- Total: around 58 items, which puts the order past the 50-item discount point.
Timing and budget
Cricket seasons end in late summer, and many clubs hold awards nights shortly afterwards. Gather statistics from your scorers as soon as the last game is played, then order 3–4 weeks ahead. Standard orders are usually dispatched in 3–7 working days, and larger bulk orders typically take 10–14 working days.
Combining senior trophies and junior medals into one order often takes you into a bigger discount band. Send the list on WhatsApp for a free, no-obligation quote.
