SHAW scooped three of the six team awards at the 2008 Saddleworth and District Cricket League junior section presentation evening held at Uppermill CC.

The club’s under-15s doubled up by sharing the league title with Glodwick and winning the Leicester Shield for the second consecutive season.

They were also crowned under-13s champions to complete a superb summer for the Holebottom Clough juniors.

On the individual front, Michael Bird had a night to remember.
