At the York & District Senior Cricket League Annual Dinner on 16th October, Harwood Williams won the Premier League batting award. The awards ceremony was held at the Racecourse and the Guest of Honour was ex England Test player Graham Thorpe, who presented Harwood with the award. During the 2009 season Harwood scored 1108 runs at an average of 58 and was the only batsman to score over 1000 runs. This total was the 4th highest ever achieved in a Premier League season. He also equalled the league record by scoring 5 centuries during the season. Harwood has been at the club since 1996, but last season was the first where he opened the batting consistently throughout the season, giving him the chance to show just how many runs he can score. Not one to rest on his laurels, Harwood has just returned from St Kitts where he has been for a week of meetings to organise the Club tour there at Easter. Congratuations from everyone at the Club for such a fantastic season.
