BURNLEY all-rounder Jonathan Clare swooped a hat-trick awards at the Lancashire League's annual dinner at Mytton Fold.

Clare became the first winner of the Bill Harrison Memorial Trophy, which is awarded for the best all-round performance during a match for hitting 114 and taking 4-17 at Bacup on August 20th.

Clare also won the Under 23 Player of the Year and Batting Awards to cap a fine season during which he hit 883 runs at 36.8 and he also took 37 wickets at 24.4.

Clare also snaffled 22 catches, the most by an outfielder.

Lowerhouse all rounder Jonathan Finch picked up the Under 23 Bowling Award for taking 43 wickets.

Australians Joe Scuderi and Peter Sleep were awarded special mementos for scoring 1,000 runs as amateurs during the season. Scuderi also picked up the Senior Batting Award with Rawtenstall's Keith Roscoe picking up the Senior Bowling Award for the fourth time.

Both the LET batting and bowling awards were won at Thorneyholme Road early in the season.

Rishton's Peter Sleep hit a season's high of 151 not out against Accrington, one more than Colne;s Paul Wilson scored against Rishton in April.

Tariq Hussain became only the third Accrington player to scoop the bowling prize after Alan Worsick (1970) and David Lloyd (1987) when he took 8-44 against Lowerhouse on May 7th.

Hussain also took 8-98 against East Lancs whilst Lowerhouse paceman Jonny Russell narrowly missed out with 8-49 against Colne in June.

Nelson skipper Mike Bradley is the first wicketkeeper from his club to win the LET award since his Father-in-law Alan Haigh in 1969.

Bradley's seven victims at Ramsbottom were the best of the season in the year that he also eclipsed his Father-in-law's club record for most victims in a season that he set back in the final year of the 1960s. Bradley's 46 victims also secured the Senior Wicketkeeping Award.
