Crosby Cricket Club celebrated a successful season with its annual awards ceremony, held at the Crosby Hotel on Sunday, October 6.
The club, which has been a cornerstone of local cricket since its founding in 1946, plays home matches at the Marown Memorial Playing Fields.
This year marked another high point in the club’s history, with their A team securing two major titles: the Tinker Cup, after defeating Finch Hill in Crosby, and the T-20 Weekend Premier.
Crosby also had two players, Carl Hartmann and Chris Langford, represent the Isle of Man at the European Cricket T10 Championship’s Challenger Division in Malaga last month.
The awards night recognised both team achievements and standout individual performances.
