A TRIO of Scottish internationalists picked up the Premier Division accolades at last night's annual Lloyds TSB Scotland Cricket Awards in Edinburgh.

Dougie Lockhart took the batting award while Paul Hoffmann and Neil MacRae won the bowling and the all-rounder awards respectively. MacRae's award was in recognition of his coaching of the Aberdeenshire team, as well as his own on-field performances.

Scotland captain Gavin Hamilton took the international batting award (HK More Trophy), with team-mates Majid Haq and Jan Stander receiving the bowling and all-rounder prizes respectively. Neil McCallum collected the players' player-of-the-year award.

Aberdeenshire were acclaimed as the senior club of the year for the second successive season, following their league and cup double – in addition to their second team, the Mannofield XI, winning the Strathmore and Perthshire Union.

In the lower divisions of the SNCL, the outstanding achievement was the bowling of Falkland player Aparjit Singh, who took 37 wickets at an average of 5.49.

Largo CC, who play in the East of Scotland League, won the junior club award in recognition of their rapid development in the last few years based on an excellent youth set-up.
