Sandpipers batsman Anton Farrell was adjudged Trinidad and Tobago Cricket Board (TTCB) south-west zonal council's Cricketer of the Year at its annual awards ceremony at Thick Village Community Centre in Siparia on November 16.
Farrell played integral knocks to guide Sandpipers to the senior division two 30 Overs title and finish joint winners of the T20, alongside Progressive SC. They were third in the league, finishing behind eventual winners Fyzabad Phenomenals and runners- up Vijay Sports.
Farrell was the zone’s top scorer, totalling 809 runs. He scored three centuries during the season, which included a stellar 312 not out versus Starblinkers, and 162 and 112 against Standard.
