GCB 2011 OSCA Winners Honoured at Lords

What are the NatWest OSCAs?

The NatWest OSCAs (Outstanding Service to Cricket Awards) are aimed at recognising those volunteers who give so much of their time to the game of cricket – without these individuals the game would not survive.

It’s fair to say that cricket could not survive without its huge army of unsung heroes. Volunteering, just to be clear, includes everyone who gives their time in some way to help the game.

It includes small gestures, like making teas at a fixture, web site design and upkeep of information, Groundsmanship to more fundamental contributions of course, such as coaching kids’ teams, which may of course include the stars of the future.

It’s no exaggeration that big stars like Steve Kirby and Hamish Marshall simply wouldn’t be where they are today without the hard work of volunteers.

Every nominee will be a NatWest OSCA winner and as such will receive a certificate. The county winners will then be invited as the GCB's guests to the National OSCA's ceremony at Lords in October.

There are seven categories in the NatWest OSCAs and they are;

• Behind the Scenes
• Building Partnerships
• Leagues and Boards
• Lifetime Achieve
• NatWest CricketForce
• Officiating – Umpiring and Scoring
• Young Volunteer
