16 year old Cleethorpes junior Ian Mansfield is seen accepting a cheque from Club President Ray Mawer (left) in recognition of being awarded The Alan Philpott Scholarship Award for 2011
Ian, who also represents Lincolnshire, scored just under 500 runs and took 26 wickets in all forms of cricket for Cleethorpes last season
Cricket Chairman Paul Hewstone, pictured right, commented: “2011 was a bit of a breakthrough season for Ian. He started in our 4th team, quickly cemented his place in the 3rd team and by the end of the season he had played six 2nd team games in the Premier Division of the Lincolnshire League.
“As with Ryan Harrison, who won last year's scholarship, Ian is further proof the changes we made to our coaching structure a couple of years ago are now really starting to come to fruition. Ian made tremendous strides last year and he is a prime example of how attitude and commitment to practice really can bring results”
Cleethorpes have been holding junior net sessions all winter and these will again commence shortly with senior sessions commencing at Franklin College on February 9th, from 7.30-9.
(With thanks to the camera-phone owner to took the piccy, as Graham, who would have done for honours for Lincs Cricket Latest, was representing the Meggies at the Lincs League's winter meeting at the time).
