Vansh Jani Takes Out Kerry O’Keeffe Medal

English Import Vansh Jani had a somewhat modest start to his Aussie summer. Starting in 4th Grade he scored 91 runs at 22.75 over 4 games. He managed to score a game in 3's where he impressed and started to find his groove. In 3's he eventually scored 401 runs at 50 and even picked up 7 wickets. Towards the end of the season he scored a promotion to 2's and this is where he really took off. In 4 digs he scored 56, 146, 148 and 34. 384 runs at 96.

With Ed Pollock returning to England Vansh became St George 1st Grade player No.477 and in the Semi Final finished with 59 not out in his debut innings batting with Kurtis Patterson.

A week later he scored a premiership ring in 1st Grade and finished with 70 runs at 70 from his two 1st grade digs.

All up he finished with 946 runs and 8 wickets which was enough to win the prestigious Kerry O'Keeffe Medal for the St George DCC Player of the Year.

Unfortunately Vansh has left to return home to England but not before he left an indelible mark on our club and we were glad we could provide him with some opportunities to improve his cricket and live the Australian dream for a short while.

Congrats Vansh on a sensational season.
