Nottinghamshire Recreational Cricket

Nottinghamshire CCC are now accepting nominations for the Grassroot Cricket Awards 2022!

The Grassroot Cricket Awards (formerly known as the OSCA’S) are a great opportunity to nominate that person at your cricket club that deserves a huge thank you for their effort and dedication over the past 12 months, 10 years or even 50 years!

And this year we have a special prize for all winners – 2 hospitality tickets to the Royal London Cup Final, at Trent Bridge on Saturday September 17th.

What a brilliant way to reward that special volunteer at your club for all of their hard work!

All other nominees will be invited to an event celebrating our wonderful network of volunteers, details to be confirmed.

The categories for nominations are:
