FAIR PLAY AWARD FOR FIACHRA TUCKER

Cricket Leinster is delighted to announce that the John Dawson Fair Play Award for 2021 has been won by Fiachra Tucker of Pembroke Cricket Club.

This award is presented annually to the player (voted by all the clubs with teams in the Open Competitions Premier League & Championship) who has demonstrated the highest standard of sportsmanship and played within the spirit of the sport throughout the season.

The award is in memory of the late John Dawson, who was a long-serving and dedicated Honorary Secretary of Cricket Leinster over many years.

We were delighted with the large number of different nominations received this year reflecting the fact that the cricket was played in a great spirit despite the challenging nature of the season. There were a total of 23 players nominated from 14 different clubs.

Other players who attracted significant support this year and are therefore notable of mention are Allan Eastwood (Rush), Mark Thomas (Terenure), James Smith (North Kildare) and Jack Tector (YMCA).

Winners in recent years have included Stephen Doheny, Conor Kelly, Kenny Carroll, Albert Van Der Merwe, Nazeer Shaukat and Barry McCarthy.

Please join us in congratulating Fiachra Tucker who is our Open Competitions Fair Play Award Winner for 2021.
