Former skipper Reece Smith is the first winner of Castor CC’s ‘Alec Jakes’ award.

The club introduced the prize in honour of club legend Alec Jakes who played for the club from just after the war, well into the 70s and did considerable work off the field as well.

The award was given for the best bowling performance during the season and was presented by one of his daughters, Lynne Jakes.
