Cricket Leinster is delighted to announce that the John Dawson Fair Play Award for 2022 has been won by Fintan McAllister of Malahide Cricket Club.
Fintan is a very worthy winner having been nominated with some regularity over recent years and is well known for his competitive & fair style of play. He has also been a great ambassador for his club and his team at Malahide.
This award is presented annually to the player (voted by all the clubs with teams in the IBI Corporate Finance Open Competitions Premier League & Championship) who has demonstrated the highest standard of sportsmanship and played within the spirit of the sport throughout the season.
The award is in memory of the late John Dawson, who was a long-serving and dedicated Honorary Secretary of Cricket Leinster over many years.
Fintan will receive his Award at the CL Awards Night & Gala Dinner on Friday 20th January in the Round Room at the Mansion House. All individual and team awards will be presented on the night. We are expecting a full house with only a small number of tickets still available for purchase:
