Yorkshire Tea Community Cricket Awards – open for entries

The Yorkshire Tea Community Cricket Awards are back for a second season in 2026 – you can now nominate a volunteer below.

These awards (five trophy winners) are a way to recognise the contributions from those right across Yorkshire recreational cricket.

This year, we are only running these Yorkshire Tea Community Cricket Awards until Sunday 23 August 2026 – so get your entries in!

🏆 How to enter

Nominations are invited for anyone involved in grassroots cricket in Yorkshire. It could be a player, coach, club committee member, groundskeeper, parent, or any role that has made a difference.

We also want to hear about how clubs, teams and groups are working with their wider communities such as food banks or charitable acts.

Anyone can nominate a volunteer involved in Yorkshire cricket and it only take a minute via this community awards entry form. Please add as much detail as you can including the work they do and the impact they have.

Photos / video clips are really helpful too (with permission) of the volunteer, project and/or cricket club.

🫖 Yorkshire Tea prizes

We will choose five winners and interview them here on cricketyorkshire.com about their journey in cricket. They’ll be sent 1,500 Yorkshire Gold teabags to enjoy a brew with their feet up and receive a Yorkshire Tea trophy each in due course too.

It’s deserved recognition for them and useful publicity for the cricket club or community project in Yorkshire.

This is about amazing acts of service, generosity, kindness and impact. Anyone could be nominated for an award, there are no specific categories.

The only criteria was that they have to be still involved in Yorkshire grassroots cricket in some way, shape or form. (Rather than a historical award).

A few examples: A groundskeeper who has worked on a cricket ground for 30+ years, a community coach delivering girls cricket sessions, a fundraiser going above and beyond or a volunteer supporting the provision of disability cricket.

This isn’t just about cricket clubs either – but any volunteers in Yorkshire cricket who give their time to serve their communities.
