Devon Cricket Board - 2010 Devon NatWest OSCA finalists

2010 Devon NatWest OSCA finalists

The County Ground, Taunton, was again the host venue for the Devon Cricket Board Natwest OSCAs event on 16^th August 2010.

The Natwest OSCAs (Outstanding Services to Cricket Awards) is a national event to reward and recognise the efforts of volunteers involved within cricket. Devon clubs were asked to nominate worthy individuals for one of seven specific volunteering categories. The DCB judging panel then had the unenviable tasks of selecting a top 3 for each category, all of whom were invited to attend the finalists’ event hosted by Somerset CCC who kindly provided tickets for the Somerset vs Lancashire 40 over floodlit match.

The announcement of the winners by Devon CDM Matt Theedom was preceded by buffet and drinks for OSCA finalists and followed by a thrilling game of cricket.

The winners of each category were then invited to Lords on 18^th October where the National winners were announced.
