Last, but not least: 🌟Clubman of the Year: Kyle Gloudemans🌟 A true club man who goes the extra mile, enthusiastically heading up junior coaching and managing the U13/15s. A main reason why so many players have made it to our senior sides having come through the club pathway.

Our next wonderful award winner... 🌟Junior Player of the Year: Zak🌟 As well scoring a ridiculous 365 runs at 121.67(!) while captaining the U15s, Zak also made meaningful contributions to the 2nds.🤯 A Chili legend in the making! 🌶️👍

Despite the weather, Sunday's Remembrance Service was well supported at the War Memorial on Bowden Hill. @ChiliSportsFC's Sonny and Matthew and cricketer James – all from Chilcompton Sports' brilliant junior sections – laid a wreath on behalf of the club.

A round of applause please for another of our brilliant juniors! 👏👏👏 🌟Chili Heat (U15s) Player of the Year: Barnaby🌟 Coach Kyle called him a "cricketer of immense talent who stands up as a senior player with bat and ball despite being the youngest in the team". 🫡

A quick interlude from our awards winners to invite you to join us for the laying of our Remembrance Sunday wreath: ➡️Sunday, November 9 ➡️3pm ➡️Chilcompton War Memorial at Bowden Hill As ever, a junior cricketer and footballer will lay the wreath on behalf of the sports club.

Next, the winner of one of the club's most prestigious awards: 🌟Chilcompton Sports Club Player of the Year: Brad Hancock🌟 Having come through our junior Pathway, young Brad is already approaching 100 senior wickets in his short career – including 17 this season at 29.24!
