The Archant cricket roll of honour has been running all summer in our weekly titles, featuring the best few performances of each week in each circulation area.
The beauty of this feature is that it can be won by players of any age and any level in a bona fide competition - from schoolboys to professionals.
The winners this year included Liam Conroy of Thetford Sunday, who had the best batting figures of 155 not out in mid May against Swaffham and also the best bowling display, taking six wickets for 17 runs against North Runcton at the end of August.
Winners will receive, through the post, a special certificate to mark their achievements.
Richard Willner, Archant Norfolk Head of Sport, said: “Congratulations to all the winners for their exceptional performances.

“There is something particularly satisfying in being able to highlight the kind of guy who has been doing his very best for his home village or town for many years without making it into the 'big time'.
“That unsung hero deserves his moment of glory every bit as much as someone whose prowess at his chosen discipline gets far wider recognition. It's a moment to cherish.”
