Hampshire Cricket Collective Nominees 🤩
We're delighted to celebrate 10 nominations in the 2026 Hampshire Cricket Collective Awards, recognising the fantastic volunteers who give their time, energy and passion to make cricket thrive.
The ECB’s Cricket Collective shines a spotlight on the people behind the game, from coaches and mentors to club organisers and unsung heroes, whose dedication creates opportunities for players of all ages and helps clubs and communities flourish.
We’re incredibly proud to see our Grayshott volunteers recognised across a range of categories:
🏆 Newcomer of the Year: Rory O’Neil
🏆 Young Cricket Collective Champion: Ewan Jones
🏆 Raising the Game: Graham Sampson
🏆 Unsung Hero: Al Grant, John Lee and Louise Kinch
🏆 Coach of the Year: Alastair Hutchinson, Helen Foulds and Simon Tomlins
🏆 Lifetime Achiever: Graham Sampson
These nominations reflect the many different ways people contribute to our club, often behind the scenes and without expecting recognition. From developing young cricketers and supporting players to creating a welcoming club environment and keeping everything running smoothly, their efforts make a real difference.
A special congratulations to Graham Sampson, recognised in two categories for his outstanding contribution and long-standing commitment.
Everyone at Grayshott Cricket Club is hugely proud of our nominees. Their dedication embodies the community spirit at the heart of our club, thank you for everything you do to help Grayshott cricket grow and thrive.
Nominees have been invited to join an evening of celebration at the Utilia Bowl on 6th November.
Congratulations and good luck to all our nominees, enjoy your night of celebration! 💚🏏 ♥️ 🎆 🥂
