TWO local junior cricketers came up trumps at the South Coast Junior Cricket Association's presentation night for season 2005/06.
Geordie Crawford (13) and Ryan Hunter (14) won the batting and bowling averages respectively in the prestigious U14 A competition.
Geordie averaged an outstanding 59.5 as an opening right hand batsman with the Thirroul/Northern Districts Club and Ryan took 20 wickets at the splendid average of 8.00 competing for the Corrimal Cougars Club.
Geordie and Thirroul teammates Jack Daskey and Jackson Stewart also represented the South Coast PSSA side that contested the state championships at Barooga. Geordie's favourite player was Steve Waugh, while Ryan looks up to Brett Lee.
Both are exceptional allround sportsmen.
