The Grassroots Cricket Awards (formerly NatWest OSCAs) are aimed at recognising those volunteers who give their time to the game of cricket – without these individuals the game would not survive.
These awards are a fantastic opportunity for you to nominate and recognise the volunteers who make cricket possible. The Grassroots Cricket Awards aim to reflect the achievements and efforts of the cricket community in their work off the field. We welcome nominations for volunteers from all areas of the game including clubs, leagues and communities.
This year, there are eleven categories to choose from, and these are as follows:
Connecting Communities – A Club or community organisation which has gone above and beyond the call of cricket to support communities/groups coming back to the game we love.
