On Wednesday night (April 23), the Central Coast Cricket Association hosted its annual night of nights, the Alan Davidson Medal night, in unprecedented circumstances via a facebook live stream.

Lisarow Ourimbah’s Scott Burkinshaw claimed the Alan Davidson Medal after an outstanding year both at club and representative level.

Burkinshaw was selected in the Australian Country Merit side at the Australian Country Championships, while also being named the NSW Player of the Tournament.

He also moved to first place for NSW for wickets taken at the championships.

Burkinshaw was a member of both the Central Coast Open representative side and the Regional Bush Bash side.

At club level, he was a nominee for the Central Coast Team of the Year and co-captained Lisarow Ourimbah to a First Grade Grand Final.

This is the first time Burkinshaw has won the award.

Other major awards presented on the night were: Representative Cricketer of the Year, won by Northern Power’s Chris Archer; Wyong’s Tiegan Kavanagh winning the Female Representative Cricketer of the Year; and, Kincumber Avoca’s Dylan Robertson claiming the First Grade Player of the Year.
