West Cricket Club’s Samindra Madushan and Federals Emily McBride have been awarded the Jarrod Wapper and Braszell Medal respectively at the annual Alice Springs Cricket Association Presentation Evening held on Sunday 17 March following stellar performances throughout the 2023/24 season.
Named after two of the Alice Springs cricket competition's most outstanding cricketers, the Jarrod Wapper and Jane Braszell Medals are Alice Springs Cricket’s most prestigious awards for male and female cricketers. Umpires award votes for player performance after each A Grade game in the Men's and Women's divisions throughout the season to determine a winner.
