In addition to the grade awards, there were a number of Club awards.

Tony Gordge Memorial Trophy

The award for the season's Most Outstanding Junior is named after Tony ‘Tubby’ Gordge, a Life Member and stalwart of this Club, whose efforts ensured that our Club could be a home for junior players more extensively. What started as a MILO Cricket centre in the early 2000’s became an Under 12’s team in the seasons after, and is now two Under 12, two Junior Colts and a Senior Colts team. Tony left us in 2015 with the award honoured for the first time after the 2015/16 season.

This season's winner was Levi Stringer. Already claiming Batting, Bowling and Fielding trophies, Levi was recognised also for his leadership of one of the Junior Colts teams and for an overall season of more than 500 runs and 20-plus wickets representing Port Elliot, Great Southern Cricket Association and the Fleurieu & Districts Zone.

Gavin Carnegie-Smith Medal

Club Person Of The Year

Life Membership Awarded

On a lighter note, the 'Duck Cup' for the most 'ducks' was awarded to Finn Hayden, and the 'Wally Wha' trophy to David Ling, for his somewhat 'flooded' reaction to his own dismissal at Old Noarlunga.

Earlier in the season, the Under 12's held their presentations after their final match. We once again had two teams, which means we’ve had multiple teams if not three, for nine straight seasons. We had two first-time coaches in Ben Williams, an ex-player who returned back to the Club with his son Harper, and Stuart Lakin-Hall, whose sons Owen and Tristan were fresh to the Club this season. It was another successful season and thank you to everyone who supported Ben and Stuart. Award winners are as follows:

Most Improved - Harper Williams (Black), Hugh McIntosh (Red)

Spirit of Cricket - William Hambour (Black), Sam Dowling (Red)
