This page shows the names of those talented folk who have won the various trophies presented by Badgers Cricket Club since the very first season. Only the batting and bowling trophies date all the way back to 1959, with the Captain's Cup first being presented in 1961, a Fielding Award (now the Mick Willmott Catching Cup) being introduced in 1964, and the single wicket contested for the first time in 1965.

The batting and bowling cups are awarded to the club member that headed the respective official averages in the given year. To qualify for the official averages has always required five innings for batting and fifteen overs for bowling, with an additional criterion being put in place in 2000 that those fifteen overs must be spread over at least five games. The fielding trophy has always been presented on the basis of catches taken, best as I can tell, although I'm not sure at what point wicket-keepers became ineligible.

The Captain's Cup winner is selected by the current captain on the basis of a member's overall contribution to the club, not just their on the field performances. The winner or winners of the single/double wicket competition receive the Brian Pitts Cup, but that particular event is no longer as popular as it once was and the trophy has only occasionally been brought out in recent times. The Frank Butt Cup is a double-edged sword, since it was originally donated with the intention of being presented to the best performance 'in relation to ability'. This definition has been stretched to its limits in recent times but the spirit of the award has been preserved.

The Mike Law trophy was inaugurated when we first started playing an inter-club match between the current team and a President's XI and so was used as a 'Player Of The Game' award. This event has also atrophied over the past decade, as the playing membership became difficult to distinguish from the old boys! Finally, we have the 'Wang Fu' award, so called because that was the nickname of the original trophy – a sculpture of a coolie sitting on a massive fish – sent back from Thailand by erstwhile skipper Simon Fox. Wang Fu himself has been replaced by a metal cactus, also donated by Simon once his peripatetic working life took him to Mexico, but it still serves its original purpose as a recognition of the most significant contribution, on or off the field, to each season's tour.
