The Nat West OSCAs (Outstanding Service to Cricket Awards) are aimed at recognising the achievements of volunteers who give so much of their time to the game of cricket. The Hampshire Cricket Board is indebted to the work of volunteers in clubs, districts, leagues and committees and this initiative allows us to show our appreciation to those people who have made an outstanding contribution to the development of cricket in the county.

In Hampshire we are inviting nominations in seven categories; from these nominations our independent selection panel will select seven winners (one in each category) to progress to the national Nat West OSCAs event at Lord’s on Monday October 13th 2008. All nominees not selected for progression to the national event will be recognised and thanked for their contribution to cricket in Hampshire.
