Warriors opening batsman Eddie Moore added four more awards to his score on Wednesday, July 15, at the first virtual Warriors Season Awards.
He received the batting and player of the series awards in the 4-Day Series category, as well as Player’s player of the year and Cricketer of the Year.
Moore was narrowly beaten by Knights batsman Keegan Petersen as the top run scorer in the 2018/2019 4-Day Franchise Series, with 923 runs compared to Petersen’s 923.
Moore has top scored with 158 runs in his List-A career with an average of 40.96.
He has played for Eastern Province, Warriors Cricket team and was part of the Eastern Province 2015 Africa T20 Cup.
He made his first-class debut in 2012 and his List-A and T20 debuts in 2013. His most memorable moment was scoring 217 runs against SWD Academy.
“Eddie’s awards acknowledge the consistent contribution he has made over the past few seasons, and not only the last one,” says Shafiek Abrahams, Warriors general manager – cricket.
“The real theme of the season was that everyone contributed. It was a great team effort which all the winners will acknowledge,” says Warriors head coach Robin Peterson.
“It was a very closely contested list. The awards recognise the hard work the winners did for the team, and the whole squad can be proud of their performances.
Another multiple award winner was batsman Lesiba Ngoepe, who received the batting award for the One Day Cup, and player of the series in the One Day Cup.
Lesiba is a batting all – rounder who made his First-Class and List-A debuts in 2010 and his T20 debut in 2013.
His favourite moment on the pitch is the Warriors last gasp win against the Titans in the Sunfoil Series.
Right arm fast bowler Lutho Sipamla, made his debut for the Warriors at the Wanderers stadium in January 2017, received the 4-Day Series bowling award.
Seamer Stefan Tait received the One Day Cup bowling award. Tait was on loan to the Warriors from South Western Districts, but has now signed a contract with the Warriors on the strength of his performance during the last season, according to Abrahams.
Newcomer of the Year is medium fast bowler Glenton Stuurman.
He is one of only two uncapped national players to be invited to turn out for the KG’s Kingfishers in the inaugural 3TC Tournament to be played in an empty SuperSport Park on Sunday,
Stuurman took 18 wickets at an average of 25.33 for the Warriors last season, which included a best of 5/72 at Newlands against the Cape Cobras.
“It is great to see the young newcomers Glenton Stuurman and Stefan Tait stepping up and performing so well in a season that was unfortunately cut short,” says Abrahams.
“While there is no suitable award, we also want to pay tribute to Andrew Birch who has retired from cricket and thank him for the contribution he made to Warriors and the region” adds Abrahams.
