A wicket-keeper by trade, Coady took out the top award of the night while Marty Jeffrey, Brock Larance and Ben Patterson also received some prestigious awards.

The 18-year-old wicket-keeper admitted he was pretty shocked to win the award ahead of some other players.

"It's a bit of a shock, I probably haven't had the best year this year and a lot of other people have stood up," he said.

"I wasn't really expecting to get that award but it's a massive privilege."

For Coady, the 2021/22 season was likely his last in Dubbo before heading to Sydney, where he will link up with Eastern Suburbs Cricket Club, a move which will seem him rubbing shoulders with the likes of former Australian Test wicketkeeper Peter Nevill.

In the other awards, Patterson was named winner of the Barry Hildebrandt Daily Liberal Cricket of the Year while also being named the RSL Whitney Cup's Best and Fairest to go along with the Ian Drake Memorial Shield All-Rounder of the Year.

Rugby stalwart Glenn Shepherd was named the winner of the Dennis Cox DDCA Presidents Award for his effort across the season.
