Fieldsman of the Year

This award has been donated by Mavis and Mark Russell in memory of Bill Russell, a long time supporter and stalwart of the Club. The award has previously been voted on by the Committee but has changed this season to be an award voted on by the teams on a game basis on a 3-2-1 system.

2016 -2017 Winner:  Jonathon Cook

Complementing his Award as the West Ashfield Leagues Club 1st Grade Player of the Year, Jonathon Cook receives a second honour for the 2017-17 season as the winner of the Bill Russell Award as the Fieldsman of the Year.

When you consider that 'Jono' is the 1st Grade Captain, the team's frontline spin bowler and No 7 batsman, to be voted by his peers as the best fieldsman in the Club is a special accolade.

Whether fielding behind the wicket or in the ring, Jono always maintains a high standard and sets the example for his teammates.

Congratulations Jono on a deserved Bill Russell Award.
