An Award Too!

April 10 2002
Essex and England's James Foster adds to his England Central Contract today with an NBC Denis Compton Award for 2001, that recognises his talent as a player.

The awards, which have been made every year since the late Denis Compton first launched the scheme in 1996, are given to one young representative of each English county, who has shown promise and Fossy comes into that category. The winners were as follows:
Derbyshire - Luke Sutton Denis Compton's widow Christine, presented the awards at the Brian Johnston Memorial Trust Dinner. Also, thanks to a £10,000 donation to the Brian Johnston Memorial Trust from Afrox Hospitals Ltd., two of the players above will benefit from three months specialised coaching and fitness assessment in Cape Town, beginning in January next year. The names of the players will be announced later after consultation with their counties. Well done to all and especially Fossy from 'Scimitars'. A lot of talented cricketers, who would benefit from the assessment. Let's hope Fossy get's it.
