Sandpipers batsman Anton Farrell was adjudged Trinidad and Tobago Cricket Board (TTCB) south-west zonal council's Cricketer of the Year at its annual awards ceremony at Thick Village Community Centre in Siparia on November 16.

Farrell played integral knocks to guide Sandpipers to the senior division two 30 Overs title and finish joint winners of the T20, alongside Progressive SC. They were third in the league, finishing behind eventual winners Fyzabad Phenomenals and runners- up Vijay Sports.

Farrell was the zone’s top scorer, totalling 809 runs. He scored three centuries during the season, which included a stellar 312 not out versus Starblinkers, and 162 and 112 against Standard.

Also scoring three centuries was Vijay Sports’ Videsh Oudit, who smacked 183 versus Mendez, 123 against Sandpiper and 111 versus Phenomenals.

Farrell was named among the division’s top six cricketers of the year, who included Oudit, Gavri Bhukal (Rousillac United), Varun Sawh (Phenomenals), Sanjay Ramdhanie (Standard) and Arnold Seales (Progressive SC).

Oudit was also among the top wicket-takers, as he snagged 5/40 against Starblinkers and also scored 118 in the 3- Overs.

Bhukal topped all batsmen in the T20 Open with a total of 223 runs, and a high score of 119 not out.

Ramdhanie emerged Over-30 top scorer with 470 runs, comprising three centuries (104, 101, 100 not out).

Seales was division one’s highest scorer, with 530 runs. He slammed 220 against Snypahs SC and 160 versus Rousillac. Seales also completed the 30 Overs with best figures of 7/14.

In the women’s windball division, champions Tamana United had Reneice Boyce selected as the league’s MVP and most outstanding player in the final. She scored 139 runs overall, smashed 26 not out in the final and took one wicket for ten runs from two overs.
