The annual 2021/22 ACT Cricket Awards were held on Friday at the Canberra Southern Cross Club in Woden, celebrating the individual and team performances from the Cricket ACT Premier competition, Women’s National Cricket League, and Toyota Futures League.
The awards also honoured the impressive playing careers of S-J Moore and the late Keith Carnall, who became the 13th and 14th members of the Cricket ACT Hall of Fame.
