NEIL Williams of Brazil Progressive emerged the best batsman while Sterling Seebransingh of El Dorado Super Stars took the bowling honours in Division One at the TT Cricket Board East Zonal Council's annual prize-giving function at Tacarigua Community Centre on October 14.

Williams accumulated 602 runs in the 2023 season, which included four centuries and a highest score of 150 against Las Lomas.

Seebransingh snatched 41 wickets, including five or more wickets in an innings on three occasions with best figures of 6/14 in the 35-over tournament against East Side.

Bamboo Sports Club were crowned champions in the Senior Division Two-Day League, with UWI Cricket Club second and Fulham third.

In the T20 tournament, Bamboo finished on top, ahead of Dinsley Sports Club.

The winners of the 40-over Senior Division Tournament were Curepe Sports Club, with Fulham second and UWI third.

Fulham Sports Club capped an outstanding East Zone season with a sweep of the senior division reserve league titles in the two-day, 35-over and T20 tournaments.

Jameel Lashley also registered an outstanding individual effort for the season being adjudged the best all-rounder. He scored 727 runs and took 24 wickets in all the senior division competitions combined. Chairman of the East Zone, Sam Phillip, thanked his executive and the clubs for making the 2023 season very successful.

Phillip congratulated the winners of awards and said he looked forward to the East Zone replicating the strong performances of the past season.

As a former military man, he stressed discipline as the key to success in cricket and personal life and was hopeful that East Zone will benefit from the stimulus programme for sport announced in the 2023-2024 national budget.

The awards function was chaired by East Zone secretary Sheraz Mohammed.

St Augustine MP Khadijah Ameen brought greetings and urged the cricketers to strive for excellence to always make themselves and their communities better.
