Not to be outdone, Batemans Bay's Lachlan Malcolm and Berry-Shoalhaven Head's Alec Dobson, shared the SDJCA Male Cricketer of the Year award - thanks to strong performances at tournaments such as the Kookaburra Cup.

Apart from these three major award winners, numerous other prizes were handed out the at SDJCA presentation, held at Ulladulla's Dunn and Lewis Centre.

In the under 12s, the premiers were Berry-Shoalhaven Heads who defeated Batemans Bay in the final for the third straight season.

The individual awards for that age group went to Bay's Cooper Frawley (batting - 223 runs at 111.50), Bay's Jackson Riley (bowling - 19 wickets at 2.47), Bay's Flynn Dunn (all-rounder - 276 runs, 16 wickets, two catches and four assisted run-outs) and Berry's Tobias Eyland and United's Harrison Fairs (joint aggregate winners). 

The under 14s decider saw North Nowra-Cambewarra edge out Berry to claim the crown.
