The following awards are made to 1st XI cricketers for outstanding individual performances during the Peninsula Cricket Festival: Bowling awards to (a) Peyton Leigh for 7/45, including a hat-trick, against Hilton and (b) Tiaan Louw for 5/7 against Pretoria Boys. Opening batsman, Adnaan Lagadien, receives a mini-bat in recognition of his record-breaking 218* off 173 balls against Hillton. Adnaan batted for 260 minutes (over four hours at the crease) and hit 17 x 4s and 12 x 6s. Adnaan's 218* eclipsed the 217* scored by 1st XI opening batsman, Haldane Murray, v SACS on the Frank Reid in 1989 and, is to the best of our knowledge, the highest individual score ever registered by a Bishops' cricketer. A quite outstanding achievement.
