In addition, several notable individual performances were recognised with ‘Champagne Moment’ medals.

A spokesman said: “St John’s Park was awash with green shirts as youngsters participated in various cricket games, tested their bowling speed and catching, with the evening ending very late with the traditional Lads v Dads mass football game.

“The club wishes to thank Burgess Hill District Lions Club who donated all the awards and to John Carter and Tony Parris of the Lions who came along to present them.

“We would also like to thank K J Thorne Butchers and GR Teamwear for their contribution to another very successful evening.”
