Deserving

WSB Chairman, Eleanor Turner told 4BR: "These award winners are a truly deserving group of players.

It's always difficult to decide who should get the awards as we have so many wonderful players but we look for the people who have given that little bit extra effort, time, help to others and worked hard to improve their playing."
