DDJCA president Glenn Shepherd said it was great to see a range of clubs represented in the grand finals and award winners.
"We navigated our way through a very challenging season, with older age groups reverting to one-day cricket only in case COVID became an issue and more than 5 weekends were lost due to rain or wet grounds." Shepherd said.
"Those issues aside, the DDJCA had a highly successful season, with over 150 boys and girls participating in the under 10s and our Junior and Master Blaster competitions on a Thursday night, in addition to our Saturday morning competitions. We welcomed Gilgandra into our Saturday competition and look forward to them and Wellington continuing a great relationship with Dubbo cricket."

The Fraser Family Spirit of Cricket Award was one of the more special awards and went to Lockie Rummans, who assisted on Thursday nights to help develop the youngest cricketers, captained Western Zone at the Bradman Cup and contributing to South Dubbo's first grade side this season.
