Cork County Award Winners 2010

The annual Cork County end of season Awards Night was held last Saturday at the Mardyke to recognise the achievements of the players at all levels in the club throughout the 2010 season. 2010 proved to be a highly successful season for Cork County with the 1st XI claiming a clean sweep of the Senior League and Cup and also consolidating their position in Leinster League Division 2 for the 2011 season; the 2nd XI claiming the Division 2 title and the 4th XI reaching the Minor Cup final in only their first season in the competition.

The big award winner was Bruce Koch who claimed the Senior Player and Batsman of the Year after scoring 793 runs at an average of 66 and taking 38 wickets at an average of 15.4. Bruce had an exceptional season and led from the front as County challenged on all fronts inspiring the players around him with some outstanding performances. Matt Reed deservedly won the Bowler of the Year in recognition of some match winning performances with the ball at both Munster and Leinster league levels.
