Hertfordshire Cricket Celebrates Volunteers and Coaches at 2025 Cricket Collective Awards

In partnership with the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB), Hertfordshire Cricket is delighted to announce the winners of the 2025 Hertfordshire Cricket Collective Awards.

These awards shine a spotlight on the outstanding volunteers and coaches from the recreational game who dedicate their time and energy to supporting cricket locally. Their passion, commitment, and contribution are vital in ensuring the game continues to thrive across the county.

This year saw an incredible number of nominations, reflecting the strength and spirit of the cricket community in Hertfordshire. The judging process was particularly challenging, with so many worthy nominees put forward.

The winners were recognised with a special day of hospitality at Lord's Cricket Ground on 8th September 2025, where they received their awards from Geoff Newman, Chair of Hertfordshire Cricket.

Hertfordshire Cricket extends its heartfelt thanks to everyone who submitted nominations and, above all, to the volunteers and coaches whose dedication makes such a difference to the game at grassroots level.
