Batters Sam Northeast and Tom Bevan were the big winners at the Glamorgan Player Awards on Monday night.
Northeast took home three honours as he was named Player of the Year, County Championship Player of the Year and White-ball Player of the Year in a record-breaking first year with the Welsh county.
The 32-year-old was the top run-scorer across all three formats this season, as he carved his way into the annals of the Club’s illustrious history. In a remarkable first season for the Welsh county he set numerous batting records, including our highest individual first-class score and highest individual List A score.
Northeast said at the awards evening, “I've really enjoyed this year. Coming to Glamorgan I was a bit unsure of what was going to happen but I feel really settled, working with Matt, being convinced by Wally."
"I'm glad I ended up at Glamorgan though it was a shame we didn't get promotion and it was a little bit of a disappointing end to the season personally but overall I'm happy with the start to my Glamorgan career."
"When you look at the record books, it's unbelievable and you don't quite know how you've done it, then to go on and get the win, it was just a fairy-tale four days so how I'm going to replicate that, I don't know."
"It's one of those moments in your career you look back with absolute fondness. Not playing for England or getting an England cap, but then to get in the record books, I'll always look fondly on this season for that."
Meanwhile, hard-hitting youngster Bevan won the John Derrick Young Player of the Year and 2ND XI Player of the Year awards as his stellar season saw him debut across all three formats for the Club.
He forced his way into the first team, making six appearances for the Club. The highlight was a stunning century in his second List A appearance. The St. Fagan’s batter smashed 134 from just 103 balls, hitting nine sixes along the way as he became the first-ever Glamorgan player to hit a List A century at The Gnoll.
"It's what dreams are made of,” said Bevan “I've worked so hard for it since I was a little boy. When Dad (fitness coach Huw Bevan) was working for England, I always said I wanted to be a cricketer, and to achieve it finally is a dream come true, so I'm very proud.
"I'm a massive advocate of being able to hit balls constantly (in practice), so to have the backing of the support staff gives me the self-confidence to go out there and show them how good I am, and hopefully I can back it up with performances.
"I'm very ambitious, I want to be the best that I can be, and I'm willing to do the work for it."
