Prize Guy is a Cricket Innovator
Bridgnorth CC’s Guy Black has been presented with his ECB Cricket Collective Award as Shropshire’s Cricket Innovator 2025.
The award was announced during Cricket Shropshire’s Presentation Evening at the Shropshire Golf Centre – but Guy was unable to attend on the night.
So we made sure the award was presented by the Board’s Cricket Development Coach Tim Bellett during one of the recent sessions held at the Super 1s Hub at Bridgnorth.
The citation for the award said: “Bridgnorth Cricket Club, led by the dedication and drive of Guy, has shown outstanding resilience and community spirit in rebuilding its programmes and facilities to create a welcoming space for all.
“A major highlight has been the launch of a brand-new Super 1s hub, providing opportunities for young people with disabilities to enjoy cricket in a supportive and inclusive environment.
“Guy has also gone above and beyond by delivering coaching sessions outside of SCB support, reaching more local children and schools.
“His commitment to rebuilding, inclusion, and growing the game makes both Guy and Bridgnorth CC shining examples of community passion and perseverance.”
