Saffron Walden Cricket Academy held its annual presentation day on Sunday at the Anglo-American Playing Fields in the town.
A large crowd of parents and players heard reports on the many teams across the age groups who represent the 260 junior Academicians.
Several teams won county and district honours and these were presented along with individual presentations for outstanding performance.
Academician of the year went to Joe Barrs for his outstanding batting throughout the season, and also his leadership qualities and involvement with all aspects of Academy life.
Steve Larsen received bowler of the year with Peter Herd taking The Alfred Adams Trophy for batsmen of the year.
Academy staff member David Barrs said: "Peter scored two centuries in 24 over cricket this season - scoring one century in so few overs is a remarkable achievement - Peter did it twice!"
