Comrades, a glorious evening of pizza, awards, pizza, certificates, pizza, pizza, trophy giving, pizza, and some more pizza. All of it delicious, I must say, especially the pizza bit. Once again, The Lyric pub in Soho provided us with an excellent venue for our celebrations and we ate them out of house and home.
Those who received awards for great cricketing prowess and services were:
- MOST RUNS: Charlie Richards, Vlad the inhaler
- WICKET KEEPING MERIT: Kamran Malik
- INFLUENTIAL CAPTAINCY: Dan March, Soldya
- MOST IMPROVED: Martin Collier, Шахтер
- MOSY BOWLED WICKETS: Philip Richardson, Yuri
We also had the privilege of awarding the God-father of the SCC, Jontin, with a special award for acting our Captaincy Commissar for ten years, the trophy of the Walrus – a lifetime award that is forever his own. Let’s be honest, a merit that no other could possibly receive! Well done, Jonathan Savitt, bless you Jonty, Huzzah Jontin!
But what of the greatest award that we, the comrades of the SCC can bestow? What of the great samovar of comradelyness, the joyous and magnificent Combramovich Trophy? It is named after Tim Graham, Cobramovich, our fallen, but never forgotten comrade. He knew that the SCC was more than runs, wickets, ruthless competitiveness and so the trophy is for more than results, it is the comrades’ comrade award.
Cobramovich Trophy 2023
The 2023 season’s comrades’ comrade award, the Cobramovich Trophy goes to Robe Muller, Mullertov!
Congratulations Mullertov, you are a more than worth recipient and provide so much to the team, run scoring, bowling, but knowledge, a special calm, a level head and a warm smile. Congratulations!
Rob was not able to come on the night, but here he is, receiving the trophy from the Jontin, Jonathan Savitt.
