THE town's junior cricket stars were rewarded for their achievements during this summer's season at the Anthony Axford Bolton Cricket League's junior presentation night.

All the team and individual winners were presented with their prizes at the Holiday Inn in Bolton town centre on Thursday, November 16 in front of almost 200 players, their families and club and league officials.

Guest of honour, Bolton League life president Frank Hinks, paid tribute to junior officials Mike Buckley and John Hutchinson who organised the evening, along with Tracey Brooks and Mike Cregan.

The prestigious most promising young player award, whose previous recipients include county players Karl Krikken, Ronnie Irani, Haseeb Hameed and Matthew Parkinson, was won by Heaton's Joe Ball, and the inter-league player of the year award went to Lewis Haycock.

The night was the culmination of another successful junior season in the Bolton League and planning has already begun for next season.
