Auckland Cricket was a major recipient of awards at the 2001 Westpac
Trust Sport Auckland Sports Awards dinner held in Auckland on Tuesday
evening.
Emily Drumm from the University Akarana Cricket Club was a popular winner
of both the Asics Sportswoman of the Year Award and the overall WestpacTrust
Sporting Excellence Award for her achievements in leading the CLEAR White
Ferns to victory in the CricInfo Women's World Cup in December 2000 and
as an integral part of the State Auckland Hearts team which won their
second successive State Insurance Cup during the 2000/01 season.
Fittingly, in what was a memorable night for Auckland Cricket, the State
Auckland Hearts were also named the Lion Red Sports Team of the Year.
Rising cricketing talent, Rob Nicol from the Cornwall Cricket Club was
named a joint winner of the Sport Auckland Junior Sportsman of the Year
with basketballer, Lindsay Tait. The 18-year-old opening batsman and medium
pace/off-spin bowler is New Zealand Cricket's Young Player to Lord's this
year and will be a leading contender for the New Zealand Under-19 team
to play in the ICC Under-19 World Cup to be played in New Zealand this
season.
Long-serving Auckland Cricket administrator, Don Hattaway, was also recognised
for his exceptional work in developing the game in Auckland with a Special
Service to Sport Award. Lou Vincent of the Grafton United Cricket Club
was also a finalist in the Sportsman of the Year Award.
