Without doubt, this is the most prestigious award at the Ashwood Cricket Club. So prestigious that it is not automatically awarded annually, but only when a worthy recipient has qualified.

The Alan Hargrave Memorial Award is named in memory of Alan Hargrave, (son of Life Member Ken Hargrave) who was known as a fantastic Club man. Alan was not known as the best cricketer at the Club, however, his contribution to the Club was awesome in bringing the club closer together as a true Clubman. 

To qualify for the Alan Hargrave Memorial Award for the Best Clubman, a member must have gone over and above the call of duty. Traditionally, it is a non-committee member, however, in exceptional circumstances, a committee member has been nominated when they have by far exceeded their committee role.

Unfortunately, Alan’s life was tragically cut short when he was lost at sea in 1972, but his memory is honored by the Best Clubman Award being named after him.
