by:
Annually
the ECB run the Outstanding Service
to Cricket Awards at Lords (OSCA's).
They are aimed at recognising
those volunteers who give so much of their time
to the game of cricket – without these individuals
the game would not survive.
1)
ALL Nominees will receive a letter of thanks and
a certificate in recognition of their nomination
from the DCB.
2)
The 3 finalists from each category (21 in total)
will be invited to attend the Somerset vs Worcestershire
twenty/20 game at Taunton on the 23rd June for the
Devon OSCA's awards ceremony.
3)
The 7 winners from each category will then be invited
to attend the national awards ceremony at Lords
on Monday the 5th October with the possibility of
winning national recognition.
Your
club now has the opportunity to do this for one
or more if it's your own members.

are 7 categories for nomination:

looking for an official who has visibly increased
the quantity of officials in their County and therefore
help the sustainability of cricket in England and
Wales.
