Eintracht scooped three gongs to cap off a stellar season for the team, who compete in the Chess Valley League.

Many playing and non-playing members of the club gathered for the prizegiving in north London. Eintracht was recognised as Bowler of the Year, Player of the Year, and Players' Player of the Year, which is voted for by the club members. He led the attack admirably, claiming 24 wickets at an average of 18.00.

Scott Gerard was named Batsman of the Year. He top=scored with 326 runs at an average just shy of 30, while Adam Morris picked up Clubman of the Year and Jack Mendel winning Most Improved Player.

BECC also announced an official changeover of captaincy. Despite a difficult and challenging year, after losing key batsmen from the previous season, spirits were high with the club looking to the future in the capable hands of new captain Elliott Mayer. The opening batsman takes over the reins from all-rounder Adam Jacobs, who is the club's leading run-scorer and wicket-taker to date.

Reflecting on the challenge ahead, Mayer said: “We have a strong, youthful core which is a good foundation to build on next season. I am looking forward to the challenge.”
