Nottinghamshire County Cricket Club is now accepting nominations for the Grassroots Cricket Awards 2022.

The awards (formerly known as the OSCA’S) provide the opportunity for those involved in the recreational game to nominate an individual from their local cricket club that deserves a huge thank you for their effort and dedication, either during the past 12 months or over a longer period.

This year, a special prize has been added for all winners – two hospitality tickets for the Royal London Cup Final at Trent Bridge on Saturday 17 September.

All nominees, meanwhile, will be invited to a volunteer celebration event.
