STEETON’S Ben Hemsley has won a top award at the Aire-Wharfe League’s annual dinner at Headingley.
He was the leading first XI all-rounder, receiving the Lawrence Walker Trophy.
Hemsley scored 552 runs at an average of 42.46 and took 50 wickets for 673 runs at an average of 13.46.
Steeton, apart from being promoted to Division One, also retained the Waddilove Cup – no mean feat as a Division Two club.
